I feel like retconning all of S3 would be a bit.. big and it'd be a far stretch to get the entire audience on board with 'you just spend 16 weeks looking at something that wasn't real'. Sure people will be glad it wasn't real but the emotions involved.. Anyways.

What I would see more plausible is perhaps the moment where Lexa is meditating in 307 (or maybe 306) that the ALIE 2 chip inside her shows her how things could go wrong if ALIE 1 wins. And then the 3x16 ending (however it ends) is the end of Lexa's "dream" and she realises she needs to prevent that. This would mean ALIE 1 is not a current threat but a possible one?

Lexa could send Clarke to prevent Lincoln from dying, and Lincoln could team up with Clarke to find Luna. He and Octavia would get out of Arkadia, but then in S4 we could see how Octavia knows only how to fight, and how the oil rig may not be the place for them.

I'd see Clarke taking Luna back to Polis, to talk  to Lexa. Then perhaps (for filming conflict with ADC) they could have Lexa give up the flame to Luna, but then Ontari could jump in and steal it with her powerhungry hands. Murphy could steal the flame back. But Lexa would return to TonDC and just retire from being a nightblood like Luna did.

Meanwhile in Arkadia Bellamy could come to his senses and team up with Kane to hand over Pike to Polis. And once in Polis Murphy has to trust Pike to get the flame to Luna, who is maybe imprisoned by Ontari and Pike's cell is right next to hers or something? But trusting Pike with the flame is like a huge risk, like trusting Roan in 3x15 was. Octavia and Lincoln could then show up in Polis to remind Luna about the promise to herself, while Murphy is telling her to take the flame.

Lexa would just be with Clarke. Clarke could even be chancellor of Arkadia or something. Or just being a medic with her mom. But Arkadia wouldn't have fallen because that only really happened in Fallen and those things wouldn't play out like that.

IDK, just something I'd write if I was at the table of S4. This would also just take only 5/6 episodes since a lot of drama just DOESNT HAPPEN (like Terms & Conditions entirely and stuff)
