Night. in the rover.

Abby "Mel, Clarke, can I talk to you for a second?"

I looked at Roan "i'll catch up"

Roan nodded and walked away.

Clarke "What's wrong?"

Abby "There's something I didn't tell you. Indra was with them when they found the bunker."

Yeah, they had found a bunker underneath Polis.

Clarke "Trikru knows?"

Abby nodded " Yes, We made a deal with them to share the space."

Me " What about our deal with Roan?"

Abby " Trikru would rather go to war than live with Azgeda."

Me "Abby, Roan is my friend. Our ally."

Abby shook her head "Not anymore."

Clarke "Why didn't you tell me this before? They're gonna kill him."

Abby shook her head " No, Clarke, not if he comes peacefully. We will make room for one. Indra agreed."

I rushed over to Dad who was talking to Roan "dad, don't. Roan! "

Roan took his sword out.

Trikru showed up.

Roan "Trikru. What is this?"

Suddenly they got shot down by arrows.


In Polis.

They dragged us out of the car.

Dad " There doesn't have to be any violence. "

Echo showed up "Welcome back to Polis, my king."


In the tower.

They dragged me into a room while they caged the others.

Roan looked at me and took the gag off of me "How long have you known? "

Me " I just found out."

Roan took a knife out and opened my ties " Thanks for trying to warn me."

I shook my head "This doesn't have to turn into a war."

Roan "It's already a war."

Me "Only if you fight it."

Roan 2 Your people betrayed me, Melissa. What would you have me do?"

I answered confused "Live? The radiation's gonna be here in 6 days. You were willing to share the bunker with us. Why not share it with Trikru, too?"

Roan " I suppose Kane tried to get Indra to do that before agreeing to let them assassinate me."

Me " Believe it or not, Kane was trying to save your life."

Roan " Mine, maybe. Not my people's."

Me " That was before you surrounded the temple. Look, now no one can get in to survive unless you allow it. Indra will have no choice but to talk. "

Roan nodded " Fine. We'll talk. But I'm holding your people. "

Me "My chancellor needs to be at that meeting, Roan. "

Roan"Your chancellor's lucky he still has his head. Besides, if anyone can convince mortal enemies to move in together, it's you. I'll call for the summit. "
