A girl, Keenan, wakes outside in a field of flowers. She’s shocked. She’s watched on security cameras by Cage. She touches the flowers, hears the birds and smiles as the breeze touches her. But then she starts to break out in serious burns. She runs for the door and tries to get in. Singh times it and says it’s four minutes 10 seconds. Cage wants to let her in now since she’s in pain but Tsing says she could tell someone and they need to get a full reading.

Cage reminds Tsing she said the blood of the 47 was a permanent solution. She says science takes time. He’s angry that she’s letting one of their own die to test this. We hear Keenan screaming for them to open the door. Tsing says it’s sacrifice for the greater good. The girl falls down, has a seizure and looks to be dying as they watch. Tsing is unmoved but Cage is visibly disturbed at the girl’s suffering and Tsing’s indifference.

At Camp Jaha, Abby talks to Jaha about the Commander’s message. They have 16 hours to leave or die.  Abby asks if they go, who will rescue Kane or the kids in Mt Weather. Jaha says these are warriors trained to fight to the death and says they are marching on the camp. He says they need to go now so they can live to fight another day.

Byrne comes in and says the people are restless and they need to hear from their Chancellor. Jaha says of course but then Byrne says Abby is still Chancellor until there is a vote or she willingly gives it up. She won’t and tells Jaha she won’t march her people into the desert if there is another way. Abby comes out with Jaha and addresses the people.

She says the Grounders are coming and that they have to make a difficult decision. Jaha says they need to go ahead and pack now with whatever they can carry in case they have to leave at a moment’s notice. Jaha says he heard of a place across the dead zone called the City of Light. He says he has faith they can find it and that’s good enough for him.

Clarke says it’s not enough for her because she doesn’t want the people in Mt Weather left there. Jaha makes a big speech and says they will die if the don’t leave by sunrise. The others murmur and Abby says no decisions have been made yet but tells them all to gather emergency supplies. Bellamy grabs Clarke and says to bring the med kit and meet him at Raven’s gate so they can go to the drop ship.

Finn tells her to go with Bellamy and says he’ll come let them know when a decision has been made. Clarke goes with Bellamy and finds Octavia at the drop ship with Lincoln who they have tied up. He’s still a mad dog. Bellamy says they had to restrain him. Octavia asks Clarke if she can help him and Clarke says she doesn’t know.

She says she knew Mt Weather controlled the Reapers but didn’t know they were creating them. Bellamy says if they can do that to Lincoln, what are they doing to our friends? At Mt Weather, Jasper talks to the others. Harper says she’s tired of puking and Miller says he’s tired of being a human pincushion. Jasper says they just need to bide their time and act like they’re cooperating.

Millbrae says they need to escape but Jasper says that’s not an option after what happened to Clarke. Monty asks what if Clarke didn’t make it out and asks what if they’re hiding the fact they killed her and they’re doing exactly what they want. Harper says they need to escape and Jasper says no – they need to find the truth. Monty asks how. Jasper reminds them they’re all criminals and says that’s the way.

Lincoln is going notes pulling on his restraints and convulsing. Clarke sees something on his leg and Octavia says she shot him and Bellamy tells her that he’s lost a lot of blood. Lincoln tries to eat Clarke as she steps closer. She tells them to shine a light on his neck. She sees needle marks. He breaks one of his restraints and goes for Clarke.

Bellamy and Octavia get her away but then he breaks loose and starts to beat Bellamy. Octavia has to hit him in the head with a pole to knock him out. He finally goes down. Abby tells David they’re evacuating. He says he’s not going because his son is still in Mt Weather. He says none of the parents of missing kids are going anywhere. He tells her to order him to stay.

She says that’s an order to die. He tells her not to make him abandon his job. She orders him to pack his things and to report to Byrne to make sure everyone is evacuated by dawn. She walks off. Tsing studies Keenan’s body and says the blood of the 47 won’t provide permanent immunity. She tells Cage they need to go to the source – bone marrow.

Cage asks what happens to the kids. She says they need all the marrow from all the kids to treat all of them. It will kill the kids and Cage says his dad won’t go for it. She tells him to find a way and says they could all be living on the ground within a month. Clarke and Octavia try to get the bullet out of Lincoln and stop his bleeding but he wakes up and starts biting.

Bellamy tells Octavia that he thinks once the drug is out of his system, that Lincoln will be okay. She walks out as Lincoln screams while Clarke works on him. She hears a sound and goes to check. It’s Nyko. She asks what they’re doing there. He tells her the scouts are already there and says they have to leave or die. He hears a scream and she says it’s Lincoln.

She takes him to see him. Clarke dresses Lincoln’s leg and Bellamy says her mom would be proud. Octavia brings Nyko in and Bellamy panics. She tells her brother to stop and says he’s Lincoln’s friend and their healer. Lincoln goes into another seizure. Nyko tells him his fight is over and goes to tip a potion into his mouth. Clarke stops him and tells Octavia that he’s trying to kill Lincoln.

Octavia is shocked and Clarke says there could be a way to make them back. Finn shows up to tell them the others are leaving and they have to come on. Nyko recognizes him as the one who killed his people and says blood must have blood and chokes him. Clarke uses the stun stick on Nyko and knocks him out with a bolt of electricity.

They realize Lincoln isn’t breathing and Octavia does CPR. Nyko is shocked and says Lincoln was dead and asks how they did that. Clarke asks if they’ve tried bringing Reapers back before and they died. She tells Bellamy she knows how to stop the attack. Clarke says Lincoln is stable and says she and Finn need to go. He tells her that Lincoln won’t be the same even if she can save him.

He says the things he’s done will stay with him but she says he doesn’t know that. Finn says they do. Clarke says Lincoln is saveable and so is he. She tells him they have to hurry. The kids at Mt Weather are doing some crime. They’re taking out surveillance cameras and breaking into a secure area. Monty gets them in and he and the others head into the secret room.

Jasper tells Harper to watch the hall. He says Miller is a thief, Monty is good at computers and he’s the mastermind. He says that leaves her at the door. Monty opens up the computer and sees it’s password protected. Jasper smiles and says – and they said we’d never amount to anything. They’re assembling to evacuate. Jaha says Abby made the right decision.

Clarke comes in and says she knows how to stop the attack. She says they need something to offer the Grounders. She tells them that the biggest threat they face is the Reapers but Clarke says she knows how to eliminate that threat once and for all. Jaha asks how but then they see torches in the distance – a lot of them. Jaha says – they’re here.

The guards take aim with their guns. Clarke says they still have time and says she can talk to the Commander – she was Anya’s second. Jaha tells Abby they need to move out now. Abby says the detox alone could kill Lincoln and Clarke says that’s where her mom comes in. Jaha says they can’t risk everything on a bluff. Jaha tells Abby to start the exodus or she’s killing them all.

Abby tells Jaha she won’t give the order. Jaha tells her to give it. She looks at him and says no very firmly. He tells her he’s the elected Chancellor of the ark and he won’t let her risk his people’s lives. He asks her again to give the order. She says no and asks if he’s through yet. He looks at them and walks out. He tells Miller and Byrne that he’s relieving Abby of her command.

He tells them to place Abby, Clarke and Bellamy in custody but to be sure they’re ready to go. Miller and Byrne don’t move. Abby tells them to put Jaha in the stockade and Byrne says – yes ma’am. She goes to escort Jaha who gets very angry. He tells her they did all this to survive and she’s throwing it all away. He asks why. She says she has faith too – in Clarke.

Jaha is taken out and Clarke thanks her mom. Abby says she’ll send a guard detail with her but Clarke says that will see a threat. She says Finn will take her to Lincoln while she goes to the Commander. Abby says if Clarke is wrong, they will all die. The Mt Weather kids are still spying. Jasper finds a cool sword. We see the famous JFK portrait on the wall. Miller finds something as Monty hacks the laptop.

They see photos of their parents and Monty says – they’re alive. Miller is shocked. Clarke marches up the hill to see the Commander. They tell her they’ll slit her throat if she even looks at the Commander the wrong way. They let her into the tent. She asks if she’s the one that burned 300 of her warriors alive and Clarke says she sent them there to kill them so she had to.

The Commander, Lexa, asks if they’ve decided and Clarke says they have an offer but Lexa says it’s not a negotiation. Indra says she will gladly kill Clarke to end this. Clarke says she can help them beat the mountain men. She say hundreds of the Grounders are trapped in Mt Weather and used for their blood. Clarke says some of her people are there too. She says the mountain men use them as medicine.

Indra says it’s lies but Clarke says she saw them and escaped. Indra says no one escapes but she says she did with Anya. Clarke pulls out Anya’s braid and says Anya told her that Lexa was her second. She gives it to Anya. Lexa says Anya was her mentor before she lead her people. She asks if Anya died will and Clarke says yes, by her side, trying to get a message to her.

She says they only way to save their people is to unite. Clarke says the mountain men are turning her people into Reapers but she can turn them back. Indra calls Lincoln a traitor and comes for Clarke. Lexa calls her off and asks if she can really turn Reapers back in to men. Lexa says to prove it by showing her Lincoln.

At Mt Weather, Cage and his dad are in full protective gear and masks and come out the door. He tells his dad to trust him and pulls off his mask. He breathes in the fresh air and tells his dad it worked. He says it’s okay and tells Dante he had the same treatment he did. Dante pulls off his mask too. Cage smiles at his dad who walks further out into the sunny field.

He says he had forgotten the smells. Cage says this is where we belong. Dante breathes in fresh air and Cage says – you always told me this was our true home not some concrete coffin. Dante sniffs a flower and they stare at the sunny sky. Cage says they have to go back now because they only have a few minutes. He tells his dad to come on back inside.

Dante stays and then finally turns to Cage. He tells Cage not to play with him and asks what it will take for them to stay outside. Cage says – bone marrow from all of them. Dante says – they have to die so we can live. Cage says it’s their world and says they deserve it. Dante says they are the keepers of history and what they’ve done to the outsiders has already corrupted their legacy enough.

He says he can’t go down the road any further. Dante tells him the answer is no. He walks back inside the bunker as a storm starts to break. Abby shows up with Finn and Octavia asks where Clarke is. Finn tells her she’s trying to stop a war. Abby checks Lincoln’s pupil and tells them what to do to help her help him. Clarke walks with the Grounders toward the drop ship.

Abby has a shot to help him break his fever. He starts seizing and Nyko joins in to help them hold him down. His heart stops again. Abby starts CPR. The Grounders walk over the bones of their burned comrades. Abby tells Octavia to open his airway. She pumps his chest. Clarke is outside with Lexa and the Grounders. She tells Lexa to come this way.

Abby works on Lincoln and Octavia asks what’s wrong. Abby says she’s sorry, he’s gone. Octavia says it’s not possible and she takes over CPR. She tells Lincoln to come back to her. Clarke sticks her head up through the hole and sees what’s going on. Lexa is there as well. Octavia starts crying. Indra is now up too. Bellamy reaches for his gun as Indra says to kill them all.

They draw swords, Bellamy holds up his gun and it’s a 100 Mexican standoff. Lexa tells Clarke she lied as Clarke tells her she doesn’t have to do this. Lexa says she’s out of time. Abby puts the shock gun on Lincoln’s chest and defibrillators him. He comes back to life. He looks at Octavia who says his name. He whispers her name and she cries.

Indra and Lexa are shocked. Lexa sheathes her weapon and the others follow suit. At Mt Weather, the kids talk and wonder if other arks touched down as well. Monty tells Miller he did a good job finding the engineering schematics for the place. Jasper asks if they’ve seen Harper. She’s missing. Tsing has her strapped to a table while she begs them to stop.

Tsing is going to take marrow from her hip and tells Cage that his dad will come around. Harper says she just wants to go home. Cage says they do too. A medical drill starts up and Harper screams in agony. Dante is in his office looking at the flower he picked outside. He paints and thinks. He lays down his brush and walks away.

Lexa tells Clarke that Lincoln’s recovery was impressive. She says no one has survived this before. Clarke says they can do this for others and says it’s a matter of keeping them alive long enough for the drugs to get out of their system. Lexa says they can have a truce if she hands over Finn. She says the truce begins with his death.

THE END!
