Clarke and Emerson: Theory
So, I think Emerson may have a couple more tricks up his sleeve now that Queen Nia is dead. I think one of those tricks is going to come to play here when he gets captured. At the end of Season 2 we know that he made the deal with Lexa to free her people and retreat, but why? Why did Lexa take that deal? I’ve heard it said that Emerson would have ordered them to be put in front of the MW door and slaughtered; but I think there is more to the story than that.
When Clarke says, “I keep asking myself, how did the Grounders know there was a self-destruct mechanism inside Mount Weather?” Lexa pauses and I think her first thought is Emerson. She knows he’s alive because he told her about the self-destruct mechanism.
Why? Did he threaten to blow the whole mountain? I’m not sure, but I know that Lexa knows a little more about Emerson than she is letting on. I think when Clarke and Emerson have this little face off there may be some new information about what went down that night between Lexa and Emerson. Will the information Emerson tells Clarke be true? Maybe, maybe not. As Indra said, “Those who are about to die will say anything.”
There’s more to this puzzle that I know I’m not piecing together, but I wouldn’t put it passed Emerson to try and get in Clarke’s head.
