Never has Clarke seemed more like a mom than in this week's episode of The 100.

In the clip above, exclusive to E! News, Clarke (Eliza Taylor) is trying to get Madi (Lola Flanery) far away from Polis and the plan to have Madi ascend as the next Wonkru commander, and even though it's a really intense and unusual problem they're having, they have never sounded more like a mother and her teenage daughter.

Madi might as well be asking to go back to the mall with her older boyfriend, or maybe more accurately asking to go back to the mall so she can become the leader of a dangerous motorcycle gang about to head into a turf war.

"But moooom, Bellamy and Gaia get to fight in the gang, why can't I?"

It would be an almost funny sort of family squabble if it didn't involve a creepy piece of AI tech being implanted in Madi's head so she can overthrow her adoptive mother's former friend who's now a terrifying blood-loving dictator.
