Sorry I am not sure what's that. Terrible with terminologies! Retcon (guess there's no hyphen): revise (an aspect of a fictional work) retrospectively, typically by introducing a piece of new information that imposes a different interpretation on previously described events. They can either do that or a reboot back to the end of Season Two.

Here's an easy out I came up with in five seconds yesterday that I'd be willing to buy:

''Season Three finale End scene has Murphy waking up on the couch in ALIE's mansion a la 1x01 and her telling Murphy "See? That's why we need you: to stop what's about to happen." And now Murphy has to go save the world...again. So he does it begrudgingly in a semi-time-travel, semi-groundhog-day type redo of Season Three, this time with Murphy as our reluctant hero stopping the bad crap from going down because...I don't know, saving Lexa is the key to saving the world (easy enough assumption). As Murphy tries to stop the "bad" future from happening, they can even re-use tons of footage from this season so it's not a complete waste.''

''That means Lincoln can still live, let's just pretend Gina never existed (maybe replace her with Mel) and Bellamy never went nuts, Monroe is still alive, Abby was never turned into an incompetent nitwit, Pike never gained control of Arkadia, Octavia never became a chronic POC abuser, Monty was able to get over his mommy issues without putting anyone else in danger, Jasper was able to get medical help, and Nyko and Jackson form a special partnership and friendship as they open the Mount Weather Medical Facility for Grounders and Sky People alike. Also, Lincoln lives. ''
