EXCLUSIVE SNEAK PREVIEW: Clexa BonesVerse Season 5
Self-proclaimed 'gentlewoman of leisure' and former/future crime-fighting anthropologist Dr. Lexa Woods faces her toughest foes yet: a hit movie, high expectations for her next book, and a co-semi-sabbatical with her partner, FBI Special Agent Clarke Griffin.
In between the trips and trauma processing with her new family, a surprise confession, a modest proposal from Clarke, and an unexpected discovery by Madi force Lexa to finally reckon with her past and make some hard choices about who she wants to be in the future.
"How do you feel about real estate?"
Lexa, who was naked and perched on the edge of the bed, turned around with a baffled look. "What?"
Clarke, who was laying naked on top of the blankets and had her hair piled in a wildly lilting bun, lowered the magazine she was reading.
"Real estate, you know. Property. Land. A home, home on the range, where the deer and the antelope play.." she sang.
Lexa rolled her eyes, swatting at her thigh and taking her magazine away. "What is this trash?"
Clarke bit her lip, trying to stifle her laughter as Lexa inspected the open page to see her own face staring back at her from beside Kate Winslet.
Lexa looked up at Clarke with a feigned but somehow still dangerous scowl.
Clarke put her hands up, choking on a snicker. "I didn't say anything!"
Lexa rolled up the magazine and whacked her thigh with it, and Clarke lost it. She started laughing, so Lexa gave her another thump on her thigh and then, as Clarke rolled to her side to laugh harder, another swift swat to her rear end.
"Stop laughing at me; you're so mean," she insisted, sitting up with the magazine and giving Clarke's still-laughing back a playful shove.
"I'm not mean... I love my trashy little raccoon," Clarke managed to get out before laughing even harder.
Lexa's jaw dropped with a gasp and she tossed the magazine aside. "Oh, you're in for it now."
