A new Grounder Commander must rise. But will it happen on The 100 Season 3 Episode 9? And who will it be?

After Lexa's horrible demise at TItus' hand on The 100 Season 3 Episode 7, Clarke and Murphy wound up locked in Clarke's room while Titus removed Lexa's body and prepared for the ceremony in which the new Commander would be chosen.

So, things are looking pretty bleak for Clarke and Murphy going into "Stealing Fire." Luckily (maybe?), Roan and Ontari appear to arrive in order to attend the ceremony. Will the new Commander be Ontari, the late Queen Nia's Nightblood/second-in-command? Or will it be young Aden, Lexa's most promising young Nightblood warrior-in-training?

Meanwhile, back at Arkadia, Octavia has made her way back (ostensibly with Indra), as Kane awaits execution after being sentenced to death by Pike on The 100 Season 3 Episode 8. He also appears to share a close moment with Abby.

We're not due to return to the chaotic world of The 100 until Thursday, March 31st, but in the meantime, feast your eyes on these recently released episode pictures and speculate along with us! Be sure to drop us a line by commenting below as well.
