@show addict,

yes, i understand that POV with clarke..... shes not stupid, she knew lexa will always do whats best for her people and probably even knows that she would most likely take the deal herself..... lexa,as she said it, made the choice with her head, and it saved her people, 1000+ of them..... but this is the part i dont get. if the skaikru was to join the coalition, then they would only need the chancelor, who was kane, to bow down to lexa..... not clarke. what nobody is noticing(sorry if i am wrong here) is that clarek knows that lexa wants everybody see wanheda bow before her. of course it makes perfect sense that clarke would always do what is best for her people..... even if that meant bowing to lexa, as a leader and someone who cares about her people, she would do it without hesitation. BUT wanheda bowing to the commander was only meant to strenghten lexas position. clarke made her look weak, AND thats why i dont get that bowing scene. as a way to join the coalition, as a leader, as to show loyalty, YES, i get it. but clarke did it because she knew lexas position was threatened. AND that is whats wrong. clarek put her people in the hands of someone who was being challenged by her people, the coalition. that is not a safe place for arkadia. lexa was seen as a weak leader, joining that is not smart. no matter if she had feelings for her, the skaikru went in the hands of a leader who didnt have loyalty of her people..... clarke had to bow before her, not kane, thats what is wrong with this scene. clarke is someone who wuold do what is best for her people. joining lexas allience was not, because lexa was losing power..... so why would clarke put lives of all her people in the hands of such a leader????????'

on the outside of course, it seems that @show addict you wrote is it, i was thinking the same thing. but as a leader, clarkes actions were not smart, for the reasons i wrote above. lexa told clarek to bow to her and in that moment clarke knew what lexa wanted.... loyalty of wanheda, not skaikru. so why help her after what she did? forget the emotions, think strategicly...... no sense from that perspective, lifting your betreyer, lexa needed to prove herself. to her own people and she did that by making wanheda bow to her. but from clarkes perspective, there was nothing to gain, yes, her people get in the coalition, but why would they? and into one that involves people who betreyed them before????

lexa bowing to clarke i get, but clarke bowing to lexa....... i never will, so please convince me how that made sense, because there was nothing her people would gain so badly, it would be worth bowing to lexa.....

please convience me otherwise....
