Like most of Clarke's friends, Murphy displays anger over her actions during the Battle for Eden and often reminds Clarke of her mistakes.
In In The Gospel of Josephine, Murphy is one of the first to notice that something is wrong when Josephine Lightbourne keeps calling him "John" instead of "Murphy." After Josephine reveals that Clarke is dead, having been sacrificed by Josephine's parents to bring her back, Murphy is visibly upset, physically recoiling from Josephine. However, Josephine offers him the chance at immortality.
Though he is upset over Clarke's death, Murphy cooperates with Josephine for the chance at immortality for himself and Emori. Murphy, while trying to get Bellamy on their side, claims to Bellamy that he may not have always gotten along with Clarke, but she was one of theirs. In turn, Bellamy states that Clarke cared about Murphy even if it didn't always seem like it. Even after learning that Clarke is still alive inside of Josephine, he chooses to side with Josephine over his friends until Josephine uses him as a hostage. With the others having no chance of using their original plan to save Clarke, Murphy instead instructs them to take Josephine to the Children of Gabriel so that Gabriel Santiago can remove Josephine's Mind Drive.
In Ashes to Ashes, Murphy is reunited with Clarke posing as Josephine when he helps Jade and the Sanctum guards raid the Children of Gabriel camp. Murphy asks if Clarke is really dead this time and to maintain her cover, Clarke claims that she is and acts nonchalant about it, visibly bothering Murphy.
In Adjustment Protocol, when Murphy and Emori decide to stay on Sanctum to save their friends, he angrily confronts "Josephine" over Clarke's murder, stating that Clarke only ever tried to help people and the Primes murdered her. After learning of Murphy's plan, Clarke tearfully tells him that she's proud of him, calling him Murphy instead of John. The use of his last name causes Murphy to realize the truth as only Clarke called him that and he tearfully reveals to Clarke his revelation as well as her mistake.Quotes[]

- In "We Are Grounders (Part 2)," since Clarke left from the camp and didn’t come back, Murphy tells Bellamy that he thinks the “Princess” is dead.
- In "Praimfaya", along with rest of the Spacekru, Murphy thinks that Clarke died in the Second Nuclear Apocalypse after she was left behind on Earth to open The Ark for them. And later he was glad to hear that she had survived.
- Throughout Season 6, Murphy believed that Russell Lightbourne have killed Clarke to put Josephine Lightbourne in her body, until in Adjustment Protocol, he discovered that Clarke survived.
- Clarke only ever addresses Murphy by his last name, causing Murphy to realize that something was wrong in "The Gospel of Josephine" when Josephine Lightbourne kept calling him "John." In "Adjustment Protocol", he realized that it was Clarke and not Josephine when Clarke called him Murphy while posing as Josephine.
- Murphy was one of the people that decided to give up immortality in the form of transcendence to be with Clarke, so she wouldn’t be alone
