Kane and Abby

Marcus and Abby is the relationship between Marcus Kane and Abigail Griffin. They are portrayed by starring cast members Henry Ian Cusick and Paige Turco, and début in the first episode of Season one.

Summary
On the Ark, Abby and Kane constantly had opposing views. Kane saw Abigail as a threat to his goals and frequently had her arrested and even almost floated her once due to his strict rule-following and her bending of the rules. Later, in The Calm, he seems to start caring for Abby, saving her life when he is exploring the other deck to look for survivors. On Earth, Marcus was the first person to follow Abby out of the Ark ship once it landed.

In The 48 they go out looking for the The Camp of the Delinquents and Clarke together. When Abby gives guns to the Delinquents to help them escape and look for Clarke and the others, Marcus sentences her to shock-lashing in Reapercussions before passing along the Chancellorship to Abby. In Resurrection, Abby finds Marcus trapped under rubble after the missile on Tondc, pulling on a piece of metal to make noise and she grabs his hand to stop him. Abby tries to help him and he tells her to leave him and go find Clarke until Abby explains that Clarke got out as she already knew about the attack. When rocks fall down and trap them both further, they talk about how their actions on the Ark have influenced Clarke and the sins they have to answer for. Later, after they are captured by Mount Weather and Abby has her bone marrow extracted, they return to Camp Jaha, holding hands.

In Wanheda (Part 1), it is revealed that Abby is still looking for Clarke in the three months after the Mount Weather War, and Marcus is helping her, as she still holds the Chancellorship. However, in Watch the Thrones she loses it to Charles Pike in an impromptu election demanded by Marcus when almost the whole camp votes for Pike instead of him or Abby. The two still remain a team, despite the new challenges that arise thanks to Chancellor Pike, for instance negotiating with the grounders who have been betrayed by him, and owing to the return of Jaha to Arkadia, with his new ideas about the City of Light. In Bitter Harvest, Abby kisses Marcus on the cheek, seeing he's falling apart from all of the stress of everything going on, and giving him 'hope' (as Jackson mentioned earlier in the episode). They are seemingly separated until Stealing Fire. Marcus is to be executed along with Lincoln and Sinclair by Pike for his crimes against the Chancellor but the three men are freed by Harper, Miller, Bryan, Octavia Blake, and Abby to leave Arkadia and escape the punishment. Before fleeing without Abby, Marcus passionately kisses her and tells her, "May we meet again," as she responds, "We will,".

Throughout the Series
Throughout Season One they have lots of disputes and disagree on decisions that are made on the Ark. If it hadn't been for Thelonious Jaha, Marcus would have floated Abby for breaking the law and Kane seems happy when Abby loses her seat in the Council to be replaced by Diana Sydney. However, following the Culling and the death of Marcus' mother, the two start to become closer and understand the decisions the other makes. Abby comforts Marcus and he starts to take what Jaha says to him to heart - that you need to know when not to follow the law. Marcus is distressed when he thinks Abby was on the Exodus ship, and is relieved when he finds she is alive. Marcus is prepared to launch the Ark manually and sacrifice his own life, and stops Abby from trying to do so so that she can be reunited with Clarke. It is at this point Abby really starts to see how much Marcus has changed. However, Jaha is the one who launches the Ark manually and Abby and Marcus are sent to Earth. In Season Two, their relationship is back to being rocky when Marcus, the acting Chancellor of Camp Jaha, says that they can't spare the men or weapons to send out a search party to look for Clarke and the rest of the missing delinquents who are trapped in Mount Weather. Abby goes against him and helps Bellamy, Finn, Monroe, Murphy and Sterling to escape from Camp Jaha as both parties want to find their people. When Kane finds out, he knows that he must follow the advice of Major Byrne and punish her to restore order to Camp Jaha. He is forced to publicly shocklash her, even though he doesn't want to. After Abby has taken her punishment and Jackson is treating her in medical, Kane tells says that he "did hear [her]" and that he is leading a mission to make peace with the grounders and get their people back. Abby wants to go to, but Kane says she is needed at Camp. He makes her Chancellor before leaving, telling her that he trusts her to do what is best for their people. When Kane returns to the Camp in episode 8, Spacewalker, Abby tells him she was afraid she would never see him again, and Marcus says he had those fears himself. The two continue to argue about what is best for the Camp, but it is now clear to the audience that they have chemistry. When Mount Weather fires a missile on Tondc, Abby finds Marcus in the rubble and tries to save him. When more rubble falls on her and they start to fear they are going die, Abby tries to stay strong for Marcus, who is badly injured. Marcus asks her to leave him and go and find Clarke, but Abby breaks and tells him that Clarke knew about the missile and that Abby blames herself because Clarke is her daughter and she feels responsible for her actions. They start to question if they deserve to survive. Luckily, Octavia Blake and the other seconds find them and get them out of the wreckage. When the Grounder Army led by Clarke and Lexa marches on Mount Weather, Abby stays in Tondc to treat Marcus and the wounded. The two do not appear again until the final episode, Blood Must Have Blood (Part 2), where it is revealed that they heard that the Grounders retreated and they headed to Mount Weather to try and help save their people. However, they were captured along with Monroe and David Miller and are going to be killed for bone marrow. When Clarke kills Dante Wallace, Cage Wallace puts Abby on the operating table and is prepared to kill her. Marcus is extremely distressed and says that they can donate bone marrow and that nobody has to die. When level 5 is radiated, the first thing Marcus does is free Abby. The last we see of them in season 2 is when they return Camp Jaha. Abby is on a stretcher and the two are holding hands.
