Did we ever get a full explanation for this scene? Like, did Lexa know the extenuating circumstances of Clarke taking the flame? Or did she assume that Clarke took over being leader and was just like “Yas, das muh gurl”? She’s so happy to see Clarke, and so proud of her too. Even if she doesn’t quite understand the full situation, she’s telling Clarke that she chose her. That even with all her beloved novitiates, that she chose Clarke (even though we know that’s not really how that works). Just fuck me three ways to Thursday because I can’t handle this anymore 😩
JRat made the biggest mistake of his life by killing off Lexa. He deserves all the vitriol he gets thrown.

I think about how when the 100 decided to give Lexa that chip and how Titus was supposed to keep it safe but how could he if she got eaten by the pauna and then I laugh a lot
Well, the show *did* make a point that only a nightblood could take the Flame: anyone else would die. Like, it would literally attack you (remember Emerson?).
Presuming the gorilla wasn't a nightblood, the Flame would kill it and someone could collect the thing and be off.
Who knows, maybe it had a homing beacon too. By the time it was given to Madi they decided that it was kind of a Swiss Army Flame. It could do math, statistics, economic projections for the following year. It was pretty solid.
