Will Clarke be able to prevent all-out war between the Sky People and Roan's Ice Nation army?
After the events of The 100 Season 4 Episode 4, it seemed that a fight between the grounders and Skaikru was virtually unavoidable. Echo had successfully convinced Roan that Clarke and the others were working against him, only hoping to ensure the survival of their own.
In reality, of course, Clarke, Abby, and the others were desperately looking for a way to save everyone – grounders and Sky People alike.
When "The Tinder Box" picks up, it appears that Roan is leading a march on Arkadia, seeking to take it for his own safe haven during the oncoming nuclear apocalypse. He's even brought along Kane and Bellamy as his prisoners, in an effort to force Clarke to give up their shelter. Will everyone make it out unscathed?
Check out these images from The 100 Season 4 Episode 5 below for a hint of what's to come, and tune in to watch "The Tinder Box" on Wednesday, March 5th at 9/8c on The CW.

Raven convinced Luna that humanity is worth saving. But the question is, how far is Raven willing to go – and how many lines is she willing to cross – to save her people?
4.
Clarke – The 100 Season 4 Episode 5
There's tension between Clarke and her people at Arkadia, after the uncovering of her list of the 100 who would be allowed to live in Alpha Station.
5.
Roan's Army – The 100 Season 4 Episode 5
Roan brought what appears to be the entire army of Azgeda with him to confront Clarke and the Sky People.
6.
The Ice Nation Army – The 100 Season 4 Episode 5
The Azgeda warriors are all decked out in their best war paint, looking particularly menacing.
7.
Ready to Attack – The 100 Season 4 Episode 5
Clearly, Ice Nation is ready to attack at a moment's notice, on Roan's command. The hatred for Skaikru is real.
8.
Echo and Roan – The 100 Season 4 Episode 5
Echo and Roan, side by side, are commanding the Ice Nation army as it marches on Arkadia.
9.
Roan – The 100 Season 4 Episode 5
Roan was committed to maintaining peace with Clarke and her people, at least until the discovery that Alpha Station was being fortified – and could only sustain 100 people.
10.
Echo – The 100 Season 4 Episode 5
Echo never trusted the Sky People (or Clarke), so it's easy to imagine that she was thrilled at finally being able to convince Roan to turn on them.
11.
Bellamy and Kane – The 100 Season 4 Episode 5
Roan (and his army) didn't come to Arkadia alone. They brought along two very valuable Skaikru hostages.
12.
Former Allies – The 100 Season 4 Episode 5
Though Roan worked well alongside both Kane and Bellamy in the past, he's turned on both fairly quickly. There seems no doubt now that he'd execute both at a moment's notice.
13.
Clarke's in Charge – The 100 Season 4 Episode 5
With Abby away at Becca's lab and Kane being held hostage, Clarke is naturally in the position of being the Skaikru leader to negotiate with Roan and his army.

15.
Face Off – The 100 Season 4 Episode 5
Roan grants Clarke a private meeting. But will she be able to reason with him?
16.
A Tense Meeting – The 100 Season 4 Episode 5
It doesn't seem like the meeting between Roan and Clarke is going very well. Clarke, at the very least, doesn't look pleased with the fact that Roan has turned on her so quickly, due to what is basically a misunderstanding.
17.
Battle Stance – The 100 Season 4 Episode 5
Roan seems ready to attack, so I'm guessing his tête–à–tête with Clarke is going to go south very quickly.
