I think that the flashbacks were effective and made me feel wonkrus pain, but I do agree that the buildup did not pay off. If it were me i would of incorporated this story around episode 7 to add more context to octaviea, kane and abby agenda's and it would come at a time when we all had an idea of cannibalism but not seen how far gone octavia was. That may have been more effective.

Abby was an addict before the dark year as jakson express concern for her overuse of pain killers in the red queen episode. I think she originally used the dugs to help her deal with the presume loss of clarke but now it is to help her with her guilt of the dark year and taking away kane's choice. Sorry if my spelling is bad.
