Octavia and Levitt is the relationship between Octavia Blake and Levitt. They are portrayed by cast members Marie Avgeropoulos and Jason Diaz and debuts in the fifth episode of Season Seven
Summary[]
The relationship between Octavia Blake and Levitt starts out antagonistic towards each other when Octavia is recaptured by Disciple leader Anders and the scientist Levitt. Anders has Levitt use the M-Cap to extract Octavia's memories of her friends, developing a particular interest in Clarke Griffin. Levitt becomes interested in Octavia's history, reassuring her that while she is a warrior, she is not a bad person. After learning that years have passed on Skyring while she's been gone, Octavia offers to give Levitt the information that he wants to know in exchange for him helping her return there for Hope. Siding with the two young women, Levitt reopens the Anomaly to Sanctum, but warns that traveling through the Anomaly to a slower time dilated planet with a Disciple helmet will cause Octavia to lose all memory of the time that she has been gone from Sanctum. With Hope needing the full armor to rescue her mother, Octavia has her keep the helmet and Levitt tattoos Octavia's back with Hope's biometric code so that she can remotely pull Hope through later. After apologizing for not returning for Hope and punching Levitt in the face twice so that he won't be suspected of helping her, Octavia enters the Anomaly and emerges on Sanctum moments after she left, her memory of her ten years away gone.
Season Seven []
In Welcome to Bardo, Levitt makes his first appearance in the flashbacks, and oversees Octavia's Memory Capture (M-Cap). He befriends her in the process showing compassion towards Octavia and helping her to escape.
In Nakara, as Diyoza, Hope, Octavia, Echo and Gabriel prepare to enter the Anomaly Stone room, Octavia spots Levitt down the hall, now working as a janitor. Levitt silently shakes his head at them and explains to Octavia that there are a dozen Disciples in the Stone room waiting for them who will kill themselves to stop the group from getting back to Sanctum. Levitt instructs the group to head to the surface instead where the Disciples won't follow them as its not survivable for long. Octavia questions Levitt's new profession which he states was worth it and he is still on the code breaking team as they need him too much for that. Levitt states that it was worth it to him and orders Octavia to punch him again and run. After caressing Levitt's face for a moment, she knocks him out and the group follows Levitt's instructions to run though Gabriel hesitates for a moment.
In The Flock, the two flirt continuously before having sex.
In A Little Sacrifice, after Echo tortures Levitt, Octavia is forced to leave him tied up and gagged to keep Levitt from alerting the Disciples which would result in Echo's death.
In The Dying of the Light, Levitt betrays the Disciples to bring Octavia and Clarke Griffin to Bardo. Upon being reunited with Octavia, he greets her warmly and shows no sign of anger over her previous actions towards him. When preparing to join the two women in stopping Bill Cadogan, Levitt states that before he met Octavia, he had no life and as such is willing to help stop Cadogan from starting the Last War, something that Levitt had wanted for his whole life.
