Throughout the Series

 * -|Season One =

In The 48, As Lincoln gathers ingredients from a river to treat Octavia's leg wound, he is teaching her the Grounder language to pass as a grounder when they get to the sea. Octavia wants to know why she needs to learn the language and Lincoln explains to Octavia that only the Grounder warriors speak English and in order to blend in she needs to speak his native language. Octavia tells Lincoln to stop stalling and pull the arrow out, which he immediately does. He then cauterizes the wound and tastes the arrow tip, spitting when he realizes it was poisoned. Octavia tries to convince Lincoln not to go back to his village because if he does, he'll die the death of a thousand cuts and then be fed to the bugs. This gives Lincoln the idea to use the beetles in the river as an antidote and he leaves to collect the bugs. Octavia worsens and begins screaming before Lincoln is able to find any beetles. He comes running to see what's the matter and Octavia tells hims she saw a man who was more monster than man. Lincoln thinks she is hallucinating from the poison and they're running out of time. He picks her up and carries her away from the river. As they walk through the forest, Lincoln asks her to repeat the phrases he taught her earlier in his native language. Octavia does so but grows fearful when she can't smell anything. He decides to go back to his village to retrieve the antidote despite Octavia's warnings that they will slowly kill him. He leaves Octavia by a statue of Abraham Lincoln and promises to come back.
 * -|Season Two=

In Inclement Weather, Octavia awakes near the same statue. She sees a man (Nyko) a few feet away from her who approaches her and gives her the cure for the poison, telling her she needs to drink it. When she asks about Lincoln, Nyko tells her that Lincoln is paying for what he did (for helping her) while their clan is weak. Octavia realizes that Lincoln is going to die if she doesn't help him and asks for Nyko's assistance. He tells her he did help her by giving her the antidote but now she needs to run. Instead, Octavia hits him over the head and takes him as a hostage to Lincoln's village. She barters with their chief, telling Indra to bring Lincoln to the place she last saw him and threatens to kill their healer (Nyko) if anyone else comes along. She says they have until dark. When dusk arrives, Octavia successfully swaps Nyko for Lincoln. As Lincoln is returned to her, they are ambushed by Reapers and both Lincoln and Nyko are taken away.

In Reapercussions, Octavia urges Indra to let her help search for Lincoln and Nyko. When Indra orders her death, Octavia runs from the Grounders and hides. Later, Octavia continues to follow Indra and her group as they search for the Reapers who took Lincoln and Nyko and offers herself as bait, saying that she is not afraid. Octavia helps them fight the Reapers, even killing one who was trying to kill Indra. She then discovers from Nyko that Lincoln is not among the freed Grounders. When she doesn't find him she screams out in anguish.

Lincoln is then seen briefly when Dr. Tsing is picking out grounders for the Harvest Project. When she comes across Lincoln, she tells the Mountain Men to take Lincoln to "the Cerberus Project."

In Many Happy Returns, Octavia blows Lincoln's Acid Fog horn in order to call off a Grounder attack on some of the Delinquents. She is reunited with her brother, who offers his sympathy when he learns that Lincoln didn't make it to safety. In Human Trials, Lincoln is trapped in Mount Weather and is being turned into a Reaper by Cage Wallace. Octavia leads the way to Lincoln's village and makes Clarke and Bellamy include Lincoln in their mission to rescue the remaining Delinquents from Mount Weather. Once at the Abraham Lincoln Memorial statue near the Grounder village, Bellamy comforts Octavia as she cries in his arms because she couldn't save Lincoln.

In Fog of War, Octavia and Bellamy go along on the mission to take out Mount Weather's radio tower. They sneak off from the group in order to search on their own for Lincoln. Their absence is soon noticed and some Ark guards are sent after them. Acid Fog descends upon everyone and Octavia follows the fleeing critters to a sealed door. They get the door open and make it into a long-forgotten parking garage, rescuing three of the four the Ark guards who had followed them (one was swallowed up by the fog). They split up from the guards with Sgt. Scott giving Bellamy a gun. They soon hear the guards screaming and run to them only to see Reapers devouring them. Bellamy kills the two Reapers and then they spot another one kneeling over Sgt. Scott. Octavia recognizes it's Lincoln and calls out to him. He turns and starts to attack her and Bellamy and she shoots him, wounding him in the leg. She and Bellamy escape and plan a way to lure Lincoln back out so they can capture him. Octavia acts as bait and Bellamy uses the Ark guard's stun stick to knock Lincoln out. He tells Octavia that they will take Lincoln home.

In Long Into an Abyss, Bellamy brings Clarke to the drop ship where Octavia is sitting with Lincoln who is once again chained to the walls. When Clarke tries to get close, Lincoln breaks free, and starts attacking everyone. Octavia hits Lincoln over the head, knocking him unconscious. They get him chained back up and Octavia tries to give him some water but Lincoln thrashes at her, upsetting her. She leaves the drop ship to get some more water and spots a white flower in a tree, the same signal Lincoln had used with her in the past. Lincoln's friend, Nyko, appears and tells Octavia that the Commander will arrive soon and if they don't leave they will all die. When Nyko hears screams coming from the drop ship, he asks what it is and Octavia tells him it's Lincoln. Nyko immediately understands what she means: that Lincoln has become a Reaper. Octavia brings him to the drop ship to help Lincoln but Clarke figures out that Nyko is actually trying to kill Lincoln and stops him. Later, when Abby is unable to resuscitate Lincoln, Octavia refuses to believe it and continues chest compressions on him until she finally gives up, thinking Lincoln is dead for good. Moments later, Abby comes up with the idea to use the shock-baton as a defibrillator and brings Lincoln back to life. Octavia kisses him, happy to see that he is alive.

In Spacewalker, Lincoln is recovering from being a reaper in Camp Jaha's medical facility. Octavia is there with him, trying to keep him comfortable by fluffing his pillows. He is still restrained because he feels he is still a danger to others. Abby asks Lincoln how to negotiate with Lexa in order to save Finn but he says there is no way out of it and Finn must die. He also states that as Finn killed 18, he will suffer 18 deaths as a result. Clarke asks how he can say that about his friend and Lincoln tells Clarke that some of the dead Finn had massacred were Lincoln's friends, too.

In Remember Me, While camping for the night, Indra mutters "traitor" to Lincoln, much to his displeasure. He is then comforted by Octavia who wants to help him recover emotionally from his Reaper experience, however, Lincoln wishes not to speak of it. She tells him he's not that monster and they kiss. Later, during Finn's cremation, Lincoln stands by Octavia as he translates the words of Lexa for the rest of the Sky People. Soon after that, when Gustus is poisoned at the peace dinner and Raven is blamed for it, Octavia asks Lincoln to talk to Indra and intervene on their behalf so they won't kill Raven. Indra tells Lincoln that he is one of the Sky People now in disdain. Later, Lincoln decides to help Bellamy get through the tunnels to Mount Weather in order to face what he had done as a Reaper. Octavia wants to join but Lincoln tells her that she needs to stay behind to make sure the Grounder-Sky People alliance doesn't fail since she has knowledge of both worlds now.

In Survival of the Fittest, Octavia is back at Camp Jaha working hard to solidify the alliance between the Sky People and The Grounders, as Lincoln had asked of her. She attempts to get Indra to let her train with the grounders, but Indra refuses. Later, as the grounders are about to leave Camp Jaha, Octavia picks a fight with one of the grounders so she can get trained with them like she wanted to. The grounder beats her up pretty severely, but Octavia continues to stand up again and again until Indra calls it off. As Octavia is recuperating from the fight, Indra appears and tells her that she fought like a child but Indra is willing to train her and take her on as her Second. Octavia agrees. After Indra and the grounders bring back food for the people of Camp Jaha, Kane acknowledges that it was Octavia who brough the Grounders and the Sky People together and asks her to "look out for [her] people," to which Octavia ambiguously replies that she is.

Meanwhile, Lincoln and Bellamy are on their way to infiltrate Mount Weather. While walking, They come across a dead animal, which Lincoln cuts open to put blood on his face along with limestone to enhance his Reaper disguise. Bellamy shares with Lincoln how much Octavia loved it when their mother read mythology to them, causing Lincoln to smile. Bellamy tells Lincoln that he helped make Octavia strong, to which Lincoln replies that she was already strong. Bellamy asks Lincoln why he protected Octavia before he knew her. Lincoln tells Bellamy of a man he came across who also came from the sky. He says he didn't understand the man but tried to help him. Three days after finding him, he told his father about him and his father made him kill the man and that the world has always been trying to turn him into a monster.

In Coup de Grâce, Octavia tells Clarke that she is worried about Lincoln because he should be back from the mines by now. Clarke calms her by telling her that he and Bellamy are going to be all right.

In Rubicon, Octavia is seen in Tondc with Indra telling her that she is worried about Lincoln not being back yet. Indra answers that Lincoln is no longer her concern and that she can worry about him when the battle is finished. Octavia is then put on watch with another Grounder, Atohl of the Ice Nation. When they hear a noise, Atohl goes to investigate and soon after Octavia hears him scream. She follows after him and finds Lincoln standing over Atohl, tying him up to take back to Mount Weather in exchange for more of the Reaper drug. Octavia stops him and tells him that Bellamy successfully made it into Mount Weather. She tells Lincoln to get off him and to come with her. Refusing to answer Octavia, Lincoln receives a punch in the face and Octavia quotes something he had said to her a while ago: "Ge smak daun, gyon op nodotaim." (Get knocked down, get back up!) and says, "Grounders don't give up. We fight," with the ultimatum that he can either get back up and fight what the Mountain Men did to him or he can "crawl away and die alone like a coward." Lincoln goes with her and at the end of the episode they are seen standing in front of Tondc after the missile hit, overlooking the destruction in shock.
