Tensions are running high during The 100 Season 3 Episode 4, after the catastrophic and horrifying attack at Mount Weather orchestrated by Ice Nation Queen Nia.
On The 100 Season 3 Episode 3, thirty-six Farm Station survivors died horribly in the orchestrated assassination by Nia (with help from sole Mountain Man survivor Carl Emerson). It was devastating and shocking.
So we can't say we blame Pike for being just a tad teed off. If the people I'd vowed to lead and protect &ndash and had led and protected for months &ndash were just blown to bits, I'd probably hopping aboard the vengeance train, too.
Unfortunately, it looks like Pike's quest for retribution for his people is going to be met by an angry Lincoln, while Abby and Kane attempt to mediate.
But that's not the only fight brewing.
Back at Polis, the clans have assembled to watch a gladiator-style fight between Lexa and Roan. Both of them are fierce warriors, so it's anyone's guess who might prevail. Based on Clarke's intense look, we're guessing she's solidly Team Lexa at this point.
Check out these stills from the awesomely-titled upcoming episode "Watch the Thrones," airing Thursday at 9/8c on The CW!

Ice Queen on Her Throne - The 100 Season 3 Episode 4
Nia's throne isn't quite as ornate as Lexa's, but she looks totally in command and powerful here. She and her court appear to be overseeing some kind of gladiatorial activity.
2.
Nia Looking Terrifying - The 100 Season 3 Episode 4
We already know Nia is ruthless, based on her actions in the attack on Farm Station at Mount Weather during "Ye Who Enter Here." Now that we're seeing her in the light of day, her epic makeup and styling makes her look even more menacing, if that's even possible.
3.
Roan Ready to Fight - The 100 Season 3 Episode 4
Roan's cleaned up a bit and seems to be in standard Ice Nation make-up. He also appears to be readying for a fight in an arena. Are the rival queens staging some kind of gladiator-style fight to the death?
4.
Ontari Stands Beside Nia - The 100 Season 3 Episode 4
Young warrior Ontari stands beside the Ice Nation queen and watches the ensuing fight. This is probably going to get real ugly, real fast.
5.
Clarke Watches The Fight - The 100 Season 3 Episode 4
Clarke appears to be watching Lexa ready for a fight in the ring. Is Lexa one of the fighters in this spectacle? Probably. Clarke's trepidation is practically written all over her face.
6.
Lexa Looking Fierce - The 100 Season 3 Episode 4
Damn, Lexa is looking ready to take no prisoners. She's looking badass and fierce as she readies herself for this fight. Will she overcome her opponent? Our fingers (and Clarke's, probably) are crossed.
7.
Pike Looking Angry - The 100 Season 3 Episode 4
Pike is definitely not in a good mood and he is NOT playing around back at Arkadia. We can't really blame him, after the events of "Ye Who Enter Here" resulted in his Farm Station survivors being almost completely wiped out.
8.
Abby Is Desperate - The 100 Season 3 Episode 4
Abby is looking desperate as she tries to reason with Lincoln. He looks pretty angry in the next photo. Perhaps he and Pike are coming to blows over how to handle the Ice Nation attack on the Farm Station victims at Mount Weather.
9.
Angry Lincoln - The 100 Season 3 Episode 4
Like Pike, Lincoln is not looking particularly sunny. Odds are that he and Pike will butt heads over Pike's staunchly anti-Grounder sentiments. Despite the kill order on him, Lincoln is obviously not willing to give up on or denounce his people.
10.
Pike's Determined - The 100 Season 3 Episode 4
Will Pike succeed in rallying the remaining Sky People against the Grounders? Kane has worked hard to achieve this tentative level of peace, so we're hoping that this vengeful former teacher doesn't blow that all to bits. Pun not intended! No more explosives for a while after "Ye Who Enter Here," please.
11.
Strategizing at Arkadia - The 100 Season 3 Episode 4
The Sky People strategize back at Arkadia, following the mass assassination at Mount Weather. How will they handle this devastating blow?
12.
Kane and Bellamy Looking Tense - The 100 Season 3 Episode 4
Bellamy is looking intensely at Kane as the group is discussing strategy. Odds are, after the loss of his beloved girlfriend Gina, Bellamy will be out for blood. Will this drive him to throw in with Pike and side against peace-keeping Kane?
