Plot
In the Green Valley, Charmaine Diyoza leads the other prisoners to continue their search for residents. Clarke manages to kill four of the prisoners before getting wounded. She shows Madi a place to hide and runs to divert the prisoners away from Madi. Unfortunately, she is captured by the prisoners. Paxton McCreary wants to kill her but Diyoza orders him to bring her alive for interrogation.

At first, Clarke refuses to talk but decides to co-operate after realizing that Diyoza's prisoners are closing in on Madi. She agrees to tell them everything and in return Diyoza orders her people to spare Madi's life. Clarke makes it clear that there's no one else in the valley besides her and Madi. Diyoza then asks Clarke to bring her up to date on how the world ended. Little does she know that the world actually ended twice.

Meanwhile, the survivors up in the Ark need enough fuel in order to get to the ground. So, they come up with a plan to steal fuel from the Eligius IV prisoners / mining ship. After landing on the giant ship, they are surprised to find no one in the ship. They find alarms going off but they manage to turn them off. They figure out that it was a prisoners ship but assume that the prisoners are no longer there. Raven hacks into the ship's database in order to locate the fuel they need. She also starts going through the captain logs in an attempt to figure out what happened to the prisoners.

Just when they've got enough fuel and are ready to leave, they discover a cryogenic chamber with 284 frozen prisoners. One of the prisoners wakes up and attacks them. He proves to be a real threat as it takes three people to defeat him. After the attack, Bellamy asks Raven to figure out a way for them to be able to kill all the prisoners remotely so that they can use it as leverage to save their people once they get on the ground. Raven tries but comes up with nothing. She tells Bellamy that the cryogenic chamber can only be controlled by someone from inside the ship. She offers to stay behind but Bellamy doesn't want to leave anyone else to die. To convince Bellamy to leave her, Raven lies to him that there's an escape pod for captains in case of emergency. In an attempt to prove to Echo that he's not emotionally devoid, Murphy offers to remain behind with Raven - only to realize that there is no escape pod. Without Raven, Emori is forced to single-handedly fly the ark back to the ground.

On landing on the ground, the group immediately comes face to face with the prisoners who have been ordered to shoot-to-kill. In a surprise twist, Madi appears from the bushes and kills all the four prisoners in an instant. Bellamy is impressed. Madi tells them that they need to hurry because Clarke is in trouble. They are shocked to hear that Clarke is alive but Octavia and everyone else are still stuck in the bunker. On realizing that there are other people, Diyoza intensifies her torture for Clarke, claiming that she lied to her. Madi, Bellamy and the rest of the squad arrive just when Diyoza is dragging Clarke outside to kill her.

Bellamy asks Diyoza to spare Clarke's life or else all the 283 prisoners in the ship would die. To prove that he's not bluffing, he shows Diyoza a mug that he carried from the ship. Bellamy makes it clear that he would trade all those lives for just one - Clarke Griffin. That's how much she means to him.
