Kane and Abby

Marcus and Abby is the relationship between Marcus Kane and Abigail Griffin. They are portrayed by starring cast members Henry Ian Cusick and Paige Turco, and début in the first episode of Season One.

Summary
On the Ark, Abby and Kane constantly had opposing views. Kane saw Abigail as a threat to his goals and frequently had her arrested and even almost floated her once due to his strict rule-following and her bending of the rules. Later, in The Calm, he seems to start caring for Abby, saving her life when he is exploring the other deck to look for survivors. On Earth, Marcus is the first person to follow Abby out of the Ark ship once it lands.

In The 48, they go out looking for the Camp of the Delinquents and Clarke together. After Abby gives guns to the Delinquents to help them escape and look for Clarke and the others in Inclement Weather, Marcus sentences her to shock-lashing in Reapercussions. Following, Marcus tells Abby he's leading a peace mission to get the kids back before passing along the Chancellorship to her. Marcus returns to Camp Jaha in Spacewalker and the two rejoice at the sight of each other. In Resurrection, Abby finds Marcus trapped under rubble after the missile hits Tondc. He is pulling on a piece of metal to make noise and she grabs his hand to stop him. Abby tries to help him and he tells her to leave him and go find Clarke until Abby explains that Clarke escaped as she already knew about the attack. When rocks fall down and trap them both further, they talk about how their actions on the Ark have influenced Clarke and the sins they have to answer for. In Blood Must Have Blood (Part 2), after they are captured by Mount Weather and Abby has her bone marrow extracted, they return to Camp Jaha, holding hands.

In Wanheda (Part 1), it is revealed that Abby is still looking for Clarke in the three months after the Mount Weather War, and Marcus is helping her, as she still holds the Chancellorship. However, in Watch the Thrones, she loses it to Charles Pike in an impromptu election demanded by Marcus when almost the whole camp votes for Pike instead of him. The two still remain a team, despite the new challenges that arise thanks to Chancellor Pike, for instance negotiating with the grounders who have been betrayed by Pike, and owing to the return of Jaha to Arkadia, with his new ideas about the City of Light. In Bitter Harvest, Abby kisses Marcus on the cheek, in order to give him "hope". They are seemingly separated until Stealing Fire. Marcus is to be executed along with Lincoln and Sinclair by Pike for his crimes against the Chancellor but the three men are freed by Harper, Miller, Bryan, Octavia, and Abby to leave Arkadia and escape the punishment. Abby, however, decides to stay behind. In response, he kisses her passionately and says, "May we meet again," to which she responds, "We will." The two then do not meet again until Join or Die, when Marcus goes to Polis to accompany Pike and survey the grounders' torture of him. Abby is there also, with Thelonious Jaha (as he and ALIE are chipping the grounders there, having chipped Ontari, their acting Heda, first). Marcus is thrown into a room in the tower, Abby entering shortly afterward and pretending to be unchipped in order to obtain Clarke's whereabouts from him. She seduces him but he soon discovers it's not her. Abby has him crucified for his resistance. However, Marcus' defiance wavers when Jaha threatens to kill Abby, and he takes the chip for her. Later, in Perverse Instantiation (Part 2), they do not reunite until the ending when Clarke shuts down the City of Light and all the chipped victims are saved. Abby and Marcus share an embrace while crying, to comfort each other.

Throughout the Series
Throughout Season One, they have many disputes and disagree on decisions that are made on the Ark. If it hadn't been for Thelonious Jaha, Marcus would have floated Abby for breaking the law and he seems pleased when Abby loses her seat in the Council to be replaced by Diana Sydney. However, following the Culling and the death of Marcus' mother, the two become closer and begin to understand each other's decisions. Abby comforts Marcus and he starts to take what Jaha told him to heart - that you need to know when not to follow the law.
