Clarke faces the consequenses of her fateful choice.

Plot
It starts in the Second Dawn Bunker with Bellamy arguing with Jaha and Clarke. He doesn’t understand his abduction and is very upset about it. He also tells Jaha that he doesn’t remember him becoming chancellor again. Jaha didn’t appreciate the comment, but he let it slide. Abigail then walks in and asks about Kane’s whereabouts. Jaha explains to her that Bellamy is the only person that his search party found. After hearing this, Abby wants him to give her a radio to try and contact Kane. However, Jaha also explains that the radiation’s levels are reaching an all-time high and contacting anyone on the outside is risky. Despite his words, Abby still insists on using her radio to contact Kane or Octavia.

Her first attempt to contact someone results in a response from Octavia. She informs them that she is the winner of the conclave. Octavia continues to explain about her decision to tell everyone that they’ll share the bunker. However, the situation isn’t looking good since it appears that Skaikru basically stole the Second Dawn bunker. After speaking with Octavia, Bellamy says that he’s going to open the bunker. He also tells everyone that if they plan to stop him, they’ll need to kill him. Bellamy suddenly runs for the hatch, but Miller ends up tasing him for the attempt.

Meanwhile at Becca’s lab, we see Raven talking with the illusion of Becca. Raven contemplates a dilemma she has regarding her space walk desires. She’s curious about how to stop herself from suffering solar radiation and can’t seem to figure it out. Raven then thinks she sees a shadow walking by, but Becca tells her to focus. She then finds her solution but suddenly start to suffer a nose bleed. Raven then drops to the floor and begins to have a seizure. Just as she passes out, she sees an illusion of Sinclair and he extends his hand to her. For those that don’t remember, Sinclair is her mentor that dies in a previous season.

In Arkadia, we see Monty walking around in a hazmat suit and warning everyone to leave for the bunker. Harper is getting sick and so are others as they continue to party. Suddenly, one of the patrons falls to the ground and passes out. This is too much for Monty to take, and he tells Jasper that he’s leaving for Second Dawn that night. Jasper then kneels down to the fallen patron and realizes that he is dead. He then realizes that they all can die peacefully that night in the same fashion as the fallen patron.

Back at the bunker, Clarke looks sad and tells Jaha that their decision to look the bunker’s door is wrong. Jaha then asks if it’s worth it to open the hatch. Abigail says no but also says that she’s not able to live with herself for it. Jaha then responds that there’s no time to feel bad about things and it leads to Abby storming out. He then tells Clarke that she’s stronger than her mother and that they’ll figure everything out. He also mentions that they need someone to guard the door and Clarke says that she knows the right person.

Seconds later, we see her walking with John Murphy, and he says that no one will get by him. They arrive at Bellamy’s holding cell and Murphy takes the key from Miller. Clarke then gives Murphy a taser just in case Bellamy gets out of line. Murphy walks into the cell and sees Bellamy with bloody wrists as he attempts to escape from his handcuffs. Murphy tries to talk some sense into him and says that his imprisonment will only last a few days. Bellamy responds that Octavia will be dead in a few days, and Murphy leaves.

Back at Becca’s lab, Raven wakes up and sees Becca with duct tape over her mouth. Raven then sees Sinclair and embraces him. Sinclair then tells her that he didn’t die just for her to kill herself. He encourages her by saying that Raven is much stronger than that. Sinclair then convinces her to discontinue the plan to space walk. Raven ends up agreeing with a smile.

Meanwhile at Arkadia, Monty is trying to convince Harper to leave with him for the bunker. However, Harper is very resistant and insists on staying. Monty then encourages her by saying that she’s a fighter and should not give up. He then says that he loves her, but she says that she doesn’t love him. She elaborates by saying that she doesn’t love him enough to accept him risking his life for her. She then walks out of the room and cries to herself.

Back at Polis, Indra is talking to Octavia and saying they should break the bunker door to open. Octavia also says that Skaikru stole the bunker and they’re not her people anymore. Echo then walks in and says that everyone will find out about Skaikru’s betrayal soon enough. However, Octavia calls out Echo for cheating during the conclave and about Roan banishing her from Ice Nation. Octavia then negotiates with Echo, saying that she wants her to honor Roan’s wish. She wants Echo’s people to join her in the bunker when Bellamy opens the hatch. Echo reluctantly agrees and accepts the deal.

Meanwhile at Becca’s lab, Sinclair and Raven are discussing how to free her mind of A.L.I.E.’s remnants. They both realize that a “reset” may be possible, but it requires her heart to stop. Raven then mentions that it may be possible if she’s in a freezing state or just really cold. Becca then tries convincing her to pursue the space walk, but Sinclair wants her to go survive in the bunker. It’s a rough tug-of-war, but Raven decides to choose life and sides with Sinclair.

Back inside the bunker, Abigail shows up to treat Bellamy’s wounds. He then tells Abby that he didn’t give himself those wounds as an escape measure. Abigail suddenly yells for Murphy to help her, but it’s a trap. Murphy runs inside and Bellamy chokes him out. Abigail then mentions that Bellamy will need to get past Jaha to get to the door. Bellamy then picks up the taser and says that he’s going to get through the door or die trying. Abby also injects Murphy with a needle to keep him unconscious for a while.

Seconds later in Polis, we see a man walk in and report the end of the black rain. He also informs Octavia and Indra that the clans are coming. He asks if they should stop them, but Octavia tells him no. She prefers for them to come and hear what she has to say.

Back in the Second Dawn bunker, Abigail enters Jaha’s office and insists that they open the bunker door. Jaha doesn’t understand since he’s seen Abby make tough decisions before, but Abby tells him that they’re not on the Ark anymore. She then pulls a needle out and stabs Jaha in the leg. It causes him to pass out and allows Bellamy to run inside. He promises to Abby that he won’t let anything happen to Clarke. Abby then gets on a computer and realizes that it takes two people to open the door. She tells Bellamy to get into position.

Moments later, we see Clarke go to Bellamy’s cell, and she sees the unconscious Murphy. She starts running to stop Bellamy and pulls a gun on him. She then fires a shot at him and says that she’s doing what she has to. He then tells her that he needs to open the door, but Clarke believes that they’re saving the human race. Bellamy then tells her that she’ll have to kill him, but she can’t pull the trigger. Bellamy gets the door open and embraces Octavia while saying that he loves her.

Afterward, the clans show up and Octavia begins to explain that they’re all one clan. She then pulls out a sword and points it at Echo. The situation is confusing for Echo since she believes she has a deal with Octavia. However, Octavia reminds her that she said she will save Echo’s people, but not Echo herself. Echo then grabs her things and begins to walk out. Indra also mocks her by saying that her banishment won’t last too long.

Back at Becca’s lab, we see Sinclair and Raven working on her freezing solution. Sinclair mentions that her heart rate is dangerously low. He then tells Raven that this solution is her doing and that he has nothing to do with it. Suddenly, Raven submerges herself into the ice cold water and her heart rate continues to drop. She then puts her hand to the glass containing the water and Sinclair does the same. Raven then blacks out while she starts to flatline.

At Arkadia, Monty approaches Jasper and tries to get him to leave. However, Jasper is staring in amazement at how red the sky is. Monty then realizes that Jasper is nowhere close to sober after drinking too much of a hallucinogen. Jasper then sits down and wants Monty to not worry about him. Monty attempts to get Jasper to vomit, but it doesn’t work. Suddenly we see Jasper begin to fade out of consciousness while Monty watches helplessly. Monty then tells Jasper that he loves him as Jasper dies in his arms.

Afterward, Monty wants to find Harper before he leaves. He runs into the party room where everyone is suddenly dead. Harper then calls out to Monty and they both embrace each other. She then says that she loves him and they hug more. She is also wearing one of the hazmat suits and appears that she is choosing to live.

Back at Becca’s lab, we see Raven wake up as her heart rate fluctuates wildly. She needs to reach the defibrillator before she dies. She crawls out of the water tank, gets to the defibrillator and manages to save herself just in time. Raven is alive again and her heart rate is back to normal. She then picks up her radio and sends a message that she’s alive.

Finally at the Second Dawn bunker, Jaha shows clear disapproval that he needs to share Second Dawn bunker with everyone. Octavia tells him that Skaikru will occupy 100 beds in the bunker. This puts Jaha in a greater state of disbelief and he begins to stare off with a desperate look in his face.
