Notes & Trivia

 * Everyone's breath can be seen while traveling in the desert. In some deserts, temperatures can drop to 20°F/−7 °C at night.
 * There are three major deserts in North America.
 * Chihuahuan Desert - The largest desert in North America, located in the Southwestern United States and Northern Mexico
 * Sonoran Desert - Located in the Southwestern United States and Northwest Mexico.
 * Mojave Desert - Located primarily in southeastern California & the hottest of all three.
 * The Mojave Desert is the only desert where temperatures can drop down to 20°F/−7 °C at night that would cause everyone's breath to be visible like it was. During the day temperatures can be as hot as 120°F/49°C in the summer.
 * Clarke lying to Bellamy about Octavia being in Tondc seemed like a plotline that was dropped too easily. It will maybe come up again.

Body Count

 * Dr. Tsing died from radiation poisoning.
 * 4 Guards died from radiation poisoning.
 * 6 civilians died from radiation poisoning.
 * 2 teens died so their bone marrow could be harvested.
 * Over 250 Grounders & Ark citizens from a missile attack.

Behind the Scenes

 * The title Rubicon is potentially a reference to 'crossing the Rubicon' which is a saying that means 'a point of no return'. Historically, it was the start of Caesar's civil war. This may refer to Jaha and Murphy's hunt for the City of Light, or even the group's escape from Mount Weather.
