Based on an interview done by Marie Avgeropoulous who portrays Octavia she indicated Octavia is going to have a relationship with a male character and I definitely wouldn't be surprised if that was Illian. But she also commented that Octavia would never quite be able to open her heart the same way. I'm personally not 100% sure how I feel about it considering I think Octavia needs to grieve and actually process her grief and I fear having her in another romantic storyline will be a way for her character to sort of ignore and suppress that grief. But we'll see where the writers take it, I've been enjoying season 4 much more overall and I'm trying to keep an open mind.
