Throughout the episode Dante tries to convince Clarke that she is safe at Mount Weather, but Clarke still is not sold.

In Inclement Weather, he is seen in the episode at the dining room at Mount Weather. When Clarke continues to get snoopy and investigates, she notices a member of the 100 who was killed in action by a gunshot wound. Dante has to show Clarke that she is just worried about her friend. When she tries to show a gunshot wound to the Mountain Men, Dante proves her wrong by lying to her by tampering with the body of the dead member.

In Human Trials, he's seen near the end of the episode talking with his son and the doctor who saved Maya. The Doctor lets him know that their first Human Trial was a success, however Dante disapproves as he instructed her not to perform this act yet. After the doctor leaves, his son informs him that the test he did on Lincoln was a success.

In Fog of War, he is first seen talking with Cage and Dr. Tsing, who are trying to convince Dante that they should forcibly extract blood from the rest of Jasper's group, considering Maya's recovery from his donated blood. Dante, however, says he wants to handle the situation with dignity, by only taking volunteers from the 100. He then speaks with Jasper, to tell him since his tests worked out, he wants Jasper to convince the 100 to donate blood to Mount Weather. Eventually, when Jasper manages to convince several of them to donate blood, this pleases Dante and thanks Jasper for his efforts. Dante then enters the other room to talk with his son Cage, who he believes is the one behind the radiation breach which almost killed Maya. Cage denies it, but Dante says that if he finds out Cage was behind it, there would be major consequences.

In Long Into an Abyss, he is seen stepping outside onto the ground with Cage. Dante at first is hesitant to watch his son take off the radiation mask, but quickly finds out he does not have to. Dante relishes his time on the outside with his son, and takes notice of a yellow flower he picks up. Before they leave, Cage once again tries to convince Dante to forcefully use The 48 to finally enter the outside, but once again Dante refuses and goes back inside. Later he is seen painting, but once he takes notice of the flower he picked up earlier is dying, he loses his inspiration and stops painting.

In Coup de Grâce, he is seen being confronted by Jasper in Dante's office. Jasper takes his sword and threatens to use it on him. Dante astonished asks why he is doing this, and Jasper tells him how two of his friends went missing. Immediately Dante thinks that his Son and Dr. Tsing are responsible, and he attempts to find them with Jasper. Dante along with his guards come across Dr. Tsing performing a Bone Marrow on Harper, with Monty watching in terror. Dante frees the two, and takes Tsing into custody. However when he confronts his son Cage, the guards turn on Dante as Cage says that everyone else at Mount Weather wishes to leave. Cage is then named the president, and takes Dante into custody.

In Rubicon, he is seen in custody in the quarantine room at Mount Weather. While he is playing a record player listening to music, suddenly Bellamy Blake walks in and acts as a guard. Dante turns up the music to make sure they cant hear their conversation, and Dante asks who he is and what he is doing there. He is says that Jasper Jordan sent to him to ask figure out how they can save their friends from having a Bone Marrow performed on all of them. Dante tells Bellamy a way to cause a radiation leak, causing the deaths of 11, but allowing the delinquents to escape. Late Cage confronts him to let him know that what he has done was pointless, and wont change anything is Cage's plans. He tells Dante that he bombed the grounder allegiance party, with Dante looking in shock. Cage, with little compassion he has injects Dante with the blood he needs in order to leave Mount Weather, but still keeps him quarantined.

In Blood Must Have Blood (Part 1), he is seen quarantined in his room. Cage walks in to ask for advice, but Dante interrupts him and tells him how disappointing it is to see how much he is messed up in only one week as president. Dante, before Cage walks up tells Cage however that the only way to save their people from the "savages", they must allow the grounders to go, but not the Sky People in order to make sure the threat that faces their people is a small one. When Cage returns to thank him, Dante shows no signs of thankfulness or happiness, only terrified at what he has done to the remaining 100.

In Blood Must Have Blood (Part 2), he is seen being confronted by Clarke, Bellamy and Monty in his quarantine. He is taken to the control room to give them information on what they are going to do. On their journey, he reveals that he made the deal with Lexa, and he regrets nothing. When they reach the control room, they find all the Sky People having their bone marrow drilled out of them. Clarke then contacts Cage to say that she will kill Dante if he does not let her people go, and she even lets Dante try to convince him to stop what he is doing by using the walkie talkie. Cage won't comply, so Clarke shoots Dante in the chest, killing him.
