Throughout the Series[]

In Earth Skills, Raven finds Abby to ask about her boyfriend. She confronts Abby about the quarantine and how she saw open ducts. Abby explains the virus isn't airborne. Raven argues that The Council is hiding something and that she is going to figure it out. Abby then remembers her daughter, Clarke, and how she has the same attitude. Later, Jackson and Abby are going over the data from the wristbands when Abby catches Raven eavesdropping from the air ducts. Raven tells them the Delinquents aren't dying; they're taking off their wristbands because they were told not to.

Abby later learns that Raven is the youngest Zero-G Mechanic on the Ark in over 50 years. She calls Raven into a level of the Ark that is considered off-limits. Abby tells Raven that the Ark is dying and Abby has ten days to prove the earth is survivable before they reduce the population by 320 people. Abby reveals a 130-year-old escape pod and tells Raven to get it ready in nine days. Raven tells her she can do it but she is going with Abby to earth.

In Murphy's Law, Abby meets with Raven at the drop ship she is refurbishing. Raven tells Abby the delay is because she needs a pressure regulator before they can launch. Abby tells Raven that Clarke's wristband went out and Raven tells her she will get a pressure regulator that day. Raven then leaves for the Mess Hall to speak with Nygel.

Raven then goes and waits in a long line for Medical. She approaches Abby and coughs discreetly. Abby conducts a cursory medical check on her before pulling her away into private, explaining the long line is due to oxygen deprivation. Raven tells Abby that Nygel would not give her the pressure regulator and Abby tells Raven she can get the part from Nygel. Later, Abby approaches Nygel in the Mess Hall and slips Nygel some morphine for a pressure regulator. Back at the refurbished drop ship, Abby hands Raven a pressure regulator and Raven tells her it might take a few hours to install it. A few hours later, Abby is pacing around while Raven works on the drop ship. Jackson comes in on Abby's telecommunication device and asks if she stole morphine. He tells her that Kane is on his way to arrest both her and Raven. Abby can't believe that Nygel turned her in and asks Raven how much longer. Raven tells her twenty minutes and Abby says that Kane will be there in five. She tells Raven that no matter what, Raven needs to launch the pod, with or without her, and radio back or 300 people will die. Abby asks Raven to tell Clarke she loves her.

Raven agrees anyway since she wants to be able to walk again.
