Throughout the Series

• Season Five

Shaw first indirectly meets Raven when she is locking him out of Eligius IV's security system. He immediately recognizes her genius and when she flips him "the bird" his response is "Real cute".

They officially meet in Shifting Sands, when Shaw helps Raven by allowing Murphy to escape Shallow Valley. He additionally hacks the missile system preventing Diyoza from killing Wonkru.

In Acceptable Losses , Echo meets up with Raven and explains Monty's plan to take control of Diyoza's satellite from the inside the ship using Monty's flash drive. Raven likes the plan and tells Echo that they can trust Shaw to help them gain access to the ship. During Karina's funeral, Raven asks Shaw to help her get a job working at the ship but Shaw declines. Raven confronts Shaw for not standing up to Diyoza but then Shaw tells Raven about how as a kid he watched on TV Diyoza lead the rescue after the battle of San Francisco. He tells Raven that Diyoza is not as bad as she thinks and that he is not as good as she thinks. At that point, he storms out, making it clear that he won't help Raven.  Echo suggests a plan to use Shaw's treason so that Raven can get access to the ship. Raven refuses because she would be betraying Shaw, the only person who she could count on. Against Raven's wish, Echo ratts out Shaw as a traitor. She tells Diyoza that Raven can prove that it was Shaw who disabled the missiles if she accessed the ship's computer system. Raven grudgingly complies with Echo's plan. Later on, Raven watches as a brutally beaten Shaw is brought into the church by the other prisoners. She feels guilty that Echo pushed her to betray Shaw like this.

In How We Get to Peace , Echo suggests to Raven that they should kill Shaw. Since Raven is the only other person with Shaw's skills, she would then be put in charge of the ship, which could be their way to victory. Raven doesn't like the idea. Raven is willing to do whatever it takes to save Abby and her people from Diyoza. So, she gives Echo a promise to never let Shaw suffer. Raven then talks during which she reveals that her mother died because of her alcoholism.

In Sic Semper Tyrannis, at the valley, Murphy, Emori, Raven and Echo brainstorming on how to escape. Echo brings up her plan to kill Shaw so that Raven can become the pilot and use the ship against the prisoners. But Raven tells them that Shaw could be useful to them as a spy. She comes up with an idea to divide the prisoners through infighting. While the prisoners are fighting, Raven and Emori would then quickly disable the collars from their people and escape. Raven asks Shaw to come with them, Shaw refuses because he is the pilot and if he runs away with them, Diyoza and McCreary won't stop looking for them and he tells her he cares about her, Raven smiles but she threatens him. So, Shaw agrees to let them take off his collar. Just before they escape, Kane comes in and tells them that they have to save Diyoza. He tells them about the peace plan he initiated between Diyoza and Clarke, as Raven, Emori, Echo and Shaw escape into the woods. McCreary wakes into the transport ship and declares that he's taking over the leadership. He orders his people to hunt all the traitors especially Shaw, Raven and her friends
