[ Bellamy breaks eye contact when she mentions Mount Weather. They've been so far removed from their world that the mention is an unwelcome reminder. Clarke's hand beneath his on the lever passes through his thoughts before he shakes it away. ]

And you think we're stronger with the Nest.

[ At least Lexa's framing this as a strategic move. Bellamy's attachments are all rooted in emotion; it's happened in spite of his best intentions rather than because he saw an advantage. ]

And that Cathaway's an ally? And Prince?

No. But they are tools that we can use, just as the rest of the Nest is full of people that we can form alliances with. We can't afford to see them any other way, and it's apparent that just the two of us will not be strong enough to defeat this Enemy on our own. [She assumes, given their ability to access and attack so many worlds, that their numbers are much, much higher than anything the Nest will (or has had to) offer. Right now, her approach here isn't only based on utilizing those around her.

It's about living, so that they can seem genuine (and so Lexa can avoid another humiliating sequence of events with someone like General Hux ever again).]
