Plot[]

Murphy, Raven, and Jackson frantically wheel Emori into the surgical theatre of Sanctum. Jackson tells Raven to get the defibrillator to start her heart. As the pair get the defibrillator going, Murphy asks what he can do, as he wants to help his dying girlfriend. Jackson says nothing yet. He tells Raven to start the defibrillator on Emori. After several unsuccessful attempts, Emori lets out a small breath. Jackson checks her pulse and it's weak because she lost a lot of blood. Murphy and Raven instantly volunteer to donate blood, but since Raven isn't a nightblood, only Murphy can. Jackson tells her to help the others stuck in the bunker because there isn't more she can do. Murphy agrees with him but Raven wonders how she's going to do it alone and Murphy says he doesn't know as that is not his main concern. She says she'll figure it out, just save Emori. Murphy stops her to tell her she'll have to go after Madi once their friends are safe and stop Cadogan. Determined, she walks away.

Cadogan is on his way to the Stone Room while Octavia, Clarke, and Levitt are in the elevator on their way to stop him from taking the final test. Levitt says Cadogan's unit will be guarding the door and Clarke says it's too bad for them and pulls out two grenades. Levitt questions killing as the final answer. Octavia says it's what they do. He then says maybe they don't deserve to transcend. Clarke releases the grenades and shoots any surviving disciples. The trio enter the stone room and see they are too late as Cadogan has already entered the final code into the Anomaly Stone.

In the Stone, Cadogan is on a pier in the middle of a star scape where he sees name carvings of him and his daughter. There, he meets the judge in the form of his daughter. She asks what took him so long and he tells her the story about the pier, thinking he is actually talking to her. The Judge explains she is not her and they take the form of the test taker's greatest teacher or the source of their greatest failure. For the species that show emotion, it can be their greatest love. Shellshocked, he asks if she is God. She lets out a soft chuckle and says for their purposes, he can consider her his judge. He realized Jordan was right about it being a test and not a last war to achieve Transcendence. The Judge mentions the last of his kind, Becca, refused to take the test, and asks if the human race is ready to join them. He says yes and The Judge explains how the test works. She asks questions and he must answer truthfully. If he doesn't, she will know. If he gives satisfactory answers, him along with the rest of the human race will transcend. If he doesn't, all of them will be eliminated and crystalized like those who came before them. He slightly nods in agreement and the test begins. The first question is about love and why he has tried to erase the feeling in order to get to the test. Before he can answer, the test comes to a screeching halt when Clarke kills him from behind and continues until she has no more bullets.

Back in the fighting pits, Jordan is trying to clear the rubble when Miller tells him to get water as he takes over. When he tries, when Indra tells him Gaia took the last of the water on her hunt. He says he'll go get more and is on is way when he sees Hope sitting on Bloodreina's throne. She jumps and says she hates waiting because she has done too much of it. He knows the feeling and comforts her by saying Octavia and Clarke can take care of themselves. She thanks him and he says that's what friends are for. She scoffs, closes the door, and kisses him. They are interrupted by the sound of the bridge opening, assuming Octavia and Clarke are back. Indra yells for everyone to form up and attack on her orders. The others ready themselves when the Eligius prisoners step out of the bridge. Indra asks what they are doing here and Raven says they're saving them again. Raven thanks Nikki for agreeing to help and she says it what Hatch would've done. Raven points to where the stone is and Nikki orders everyone to leave unless they want pulverized bunker in their lungs. Miller firmly tells one of the prisoners they have people trapped inside. Nikki takes this in and orders them to get ready. Raven tells Miller Jackson is fine on Sanctum treating Emori with Murphy. Hope points out the only two unaccounted for are Echo and Niylah. Raven questions this and Indra catches her up on everything that went down. Raven agrees with Octavia and Clarke's plan but Miller asks how as Cadogan will be preparing his army for war when they have 10 people. Indra says they will go to Sanctum first and get Wonkru to fight since Sheidheda is dead. Miller says they will lose and Hope agrees, but they need a distraction to get a small team past the army to kill Cadogan. As the sounds of phasers play in the background, Jordan says they can use those. Hope says it's too bad they won't be able to see what they're firing at as the Disciples will be invisible. Jordan says maybe they will be able to see them, but before he can explain, Nikki comes in with Echo and Niylah. As they reunite, Nikki says they're through the collapse and Raven is ready to take down Cadogan, but Miller stops her as they still don't have a plan that doesn't end with all of them dead. Hope brings it back to Jordan who was about to explain his plan. This plan, he says, would make his father proud.

On the oxygen farm, Jordan walks through the portal and disables the Disciples' weapons and cloaks. Wonkru and the rest follow suit and Indra orders the Insertion Team to stop Cadogan, with Echo leading the way and the rest into the trees. The Disciples are confused why they aren't attacking, meaning the distraction is working.

In the surgical theater, Emori is weak but as stable as she is going to get. Jackson tells Murphy it's time for the blood transfusion, but are interrupted by Miller. The couple embrace one another and Miller tells him the gang and the rest of Wonkru left for Bardo. Jackson questions why he didn't go and Miller says he wasn't leaving him again and whatever happens next, they will stick together. Murphy bitterly interrupts asking about his reunion. Miller asks what he can do and Jackson says to hold her steady while he takes out the rebar. As he slowly takes it out, her heart starts accelerating and begins flatlining. Jackson pumps adrenaline in her heart, but it's unsuccessful. Murphy begs him to do something, but he can't. Emori has died.

As Murphy grieves, he asks Jackson to take out her mind drive. He refuses as having two mind drives in one person's head is fatal. Murphy doesn't care and does it himself. Miller tells Jackson if he had the chance to see him again, he would do the same. Jackson ends up fulfilling his request and takes over.

Outside the Stone Room, Levitt puts war paint on Octavia when he points out if Clarke can't stop the test, they are buying time for Wanheda to represent the entirety of the human race. Octavia asks if her brother will transcend if she gets it done. Levitt says no as the Book of Bardo says the dead can't transcend, and only the living can. She jokes around saying she must have slept through that class. He gets up and Octavia questions it. He says if Clarke takes the test, today is the end, but whatever happens, he would've liked to live a little and Octavia feels the same way. The pair are interrupted by Raven and Echo who stumble upon a gruesome scene. Octavia says they happened, in reference to Clarke's attack. Raven is worried Cadogan killed Madi but Octavia says it's worse as Clarke went in after him to stop the test. She is confused, but Levitt interrupts asking how they know they weren't followed. Raven tells him to relax as the Disciples have their hands full with Wonkru. Levitt questions why they are here to fight but Echo says they are only a distraction so the two to get in and kill Cadogan. Levitt says the Disciples don't know that and panics because not only is the what is left of the human race about to start a war, if Clarke can't stop the test and fails, the Transcendents send Gem9 and calls Echo out for being a spy. She apologizes but Raven stops it as they have to stop a war and the test. Octavia, Echo, and Levitt go to stop the war while Raven goes after Clarke to stop the test. She goes to the Stone Room and sees the bright white ball in front of her.

In the star scape, Clarke is annoyed about still being there and a familiar voice says she knows why. Clarke turns around to see The Judge in the form of Lexa. Her eyes light up and runs to hug her. The Judge tells her she is not Lexa, but Clarke knows that and continues hugging her. She wonders if the test is over and The Judge says they can't stop what's been started and the human race must be judged through her. The Judge asks why she killed Cadogan as he was unarmed and no threat to her and she says he killed Madi. The Judge asks if she's dead and Clarke says no but she will be because of him. The Judge asks if her need for revenge was important than the fate of the human race. Clarke justifies this by saying it's not revenge, but justice. The Judge tells her a rose by any other name is still blood must have blood in Trigedasleng. Clarke tells her she doesn't know her pain, and The Judge says she senses every part of her and feels her pain in that moment. Clarke tells her to feel holding Lexa as she dies, seeing someone else wearing her mother's face, and murder her best friend for her daughter only for her to die. The Judge says she suffers and inflicts suffering on others and that pain brings about pain, therefore not justice. She goes onto say to Clarke that she (Clarke) do these things to protect her people, but she's all one... people. The Judge also says "That much Cadogan had right." However, Clarke says that he both created a world without love and killed her child to get to the Judge. Clarke then angrily reprimands the Judge and its own kind, for their actions of making the species take the test and committing genocide against them while calling themselves Higher Beings, leading to Clarke accusing the the Judge and Transcendents of being mass murderers and that they're no better than the murderers I've killed, and they're are no better than her. The Judge then apologizes to Clarke for all she had lost, but tells her that if she is part of a human race, then humanity is not worthy of taking the next step. The end of the human race has been decided by the Judge.

Meanwhile, Emori wakes up in the Mindspace after dying in her body Murphy appears in her mindspace and reveals that he had the Mind Drive implanted in his head, because he wouldn't bear to lose her. This shocks Emori, who begins to panic, because the two minds will result in killing Murphy himself, but Murphy is willing to sacrifice himself, unwilling to live with the pain of losing her. They begin to dance in the Mindspace, while in the real world, Miller and Jackson are seen dancing in the medical room.

Back in Bardo, when Clarke returns back to the Stone Room, Raven comes to her and sees Cadogan's body next to her. Realizing what she has done, Clarke says that she failed the test and it should've been Raven taking the test first, not her. This shocks Raven as she says to Clarke that if they can change the Transcendents' minds, but Clarke says that she doesn't know and that she have to go to Madi.

Right after Clarke left, the Stone turns into red, glowing orb and Raven touches it, which brings her to the realm. Raven ends up on the Ark and meets the Judge, who is in the form of Abigail Griffin. Raven appealed to the Judge to reconsider her decision and to at least give humanity more time to be ready. The Judge however, feels that humanity is too violent and are not worthy of transcendence as the Judge claimed that Clarke doomed humanity, due to her atrocities. Raven explains that Clarke did it to save her people. The Judge then takes Raven to the oxygen farm to show her Wonkru and the Disciples readying to fight. Raven explains that it was just a distraction. The Judge points to Sheidheda, who proceeds to shoot Levitt, starting a gunfight. During the battle between Wonkru and the Disciples, Octavia comes to rescue a wounded Levitt. Echo comes to rescue both of them as she gets shot, during the gunfight. Bringing themselves away from the battle, Octavia tells Echo what she was doing. Echo says that she lost Bellamy and she will not lose his sister. When Jordan and Hope comes to Octavia, Echo, and Levitt, Octavia goes back and calls out Indra to hold their fire. When Indra tells Wonkru to to hold their fire, Sheidheda appears, yelling that Indra is not in command but he is. Declaring "blood must have blood" repeatedly, the Dark Commander works Wonkru up into a fury and they resume firing. Sheidheda begins commanding a charge to breach the wall and kill all of the Disciples, only to find Indra armed with a sonic cannon that she borrowed from the Eligius prisoner. Declaring "for my mother" in Trigedasleng, Indra blasts Sheidheda with the cannon, blowing him up and killing the Dark Commander. Both sides stop fighting each other as Octavia comes out and appears. She convinces the two factions to stand down as she makes a speech. She begs the Disciples and Wonkru not to fight, as Raven shows the Judge that Octavia is reaching them. After Octavia Blake convinced Wonkru, the Eligius Prisoners and the Disciples to stand down and stop fighting, the Judge stands and watches and is shocked when all of them agree not to fight so they can transcend. Raven successfully convinced the Judge, saying that "We can change. We just need more time. Please."

Because of this, the Judge deemed humanity worthy after all, causing the Judge to change her mind as the human race passes the Judge's test. The Judge, per Raven's request begins the process to transcend humanity. The human race successfully transcended into immortal beings of light, becoming part of a universal consciousness. As a paralyzed Madi is about to transcend, she doesn't want to leave Clarke behind. Knowing that Madi doesn't want to leave her, Clarke encourages her daughter to let go, stating that transcendence gives Madi a chance to live and that Clarke will be okay. Madi finally transcends and Clarke promises her daughter that she will love Madi forever.

Left alone, Clarke discovers that everyone else has achieved transcendence with the Bardo oxygen farm full of the glowing forms left behind by everyone who transcended. Clarke dons a Disciple helmet and uses the Anomaly to return to Sanctum where she discovers that everyone there has transcended as well, leaving behind more glowing forms. Clarke's calls for her friends draw Picasso to her and Clarke wonders out loud where they are going to live. Clarke then returns to Earth with Picasso, but finds the bunker empty too. Emerging on the surface of humanity's restored homeworld, Clarke declares that she and Picasso will find water and shelter today and food tomorrow. However, Picasso suddenly takes off running and Clarke chases after her to a beach, calling out that she doesn't want to be alone after she can't find the dog. The Judge, in the form of Lexa, appears nearby and tells Clarke that she's not alone. Clarke is unhappy and annoyed by the Judge's appearance, due to the fact that she was left alone not to transcend and due to the Judge's action of putting humanity in danger. However, the Judge want to explain, but Clarke gets it and comments that "I bear it so they don't have to. Again." The Judge calls humanity a curious species that has already added a great deal to the transcended in only a short period of time and she was glad to have been wrong about them. Clarke hopefully asks if it means that the Judge has come to take Clarke with her, but the Judge tells Clarke that she can never transcend and that Clarke's actions must have a cost. Clarke is the first test subject in any species anywhere in the universe since the dawn of time to have committed murder in the test. The Judge tells Clarke that Madi's consciousness has joined the rest of the transcended and she is at peace and she will never feel pain or die. Madi knew that living on Earth without someone her own age to love is something that Clarke wouldn't have wanted for her even if it meant that Clarke would be alone. "I suppose that choice was made easier with the realization you wouldn't be," comments the Judge. Clarke is surprised that transcendence is a choice and that you can choose to come back which the Judge confirms, stating that until now, no one had ever chosen to come back. Hearing laughter and voices, Clarke is surprised to see Raven, Murphy, Emori, Indra, Gaia, Hope, Jordan, Jackson, Miller, Octavia, Levitt, Echo, Niylah and Picasso at a camp further down the lakeside. Her friends have decided to join her to live out the rest of their lives rather than to remain transcended, so that Clarke will not be alone for the rest of her life. The Judge, however informs Clarke that the group won’t be able to reproduce and that they won't transcend when they eventually die, but this does not face them. The Judge then disappears as Clarke reunites with her friends. With the rest of humanity transcended and thus any real threats to their safety gone, Earth is left as a safe home for the group to live out the rest of their lives.

Quotes[]

Levitt: "We're too late."
The Judge (in Callie Cadogan's form): "What took you so long?"
Bill Cadogan: "Our pier. I took you fishing here once."
The Judge: "Why only once?"
Bill Cadogan: "You jumped in. Oh, I told you not to, but you didn't listen. You never listened."
The Judge: "She took after her mother."
Bill Cadogan: "You're not Callie."
The Judge: "No. This is who you chose. We most often take the form of the subject's greatest teacher or the source of their greatest failure. In the rare emotion-driven species such as your own, it can be their greatest love. Seems you're faced with all of the above."
Bill Cadogan: "Are you God?"
The Judge: "For our purposes you may consider me your judge."
Bill Cadogan: "My judge? So they were right. This is a trial, a test, not a war."
The Judge: "Correct. The last of your kind to stand before us -- Becca -- refused the test. Tell me... Dad, is the human race now ready to join us?"
Bill Cadogan: "Yes. We are ready."
The Judge: "Excellent. Here's how it works. We talk. I ask questions, you answer truthfully, if you do not I will know it. If your answers are satisfactory, your consciousness and that of your entire species will become one with ours. You will transcend your human form and then become infinite. If you fail to earn this evolutionary leap, you will be eliminated, turned to crystal the way the Bardoans and countless other civilizations before them were. Sound good? (Cadogan nods) The first question is about love. So few species are given this gift, yet you have attempted to erase it in pursuit of this moment. Why?" (Clarke kills Cadogan)
Clarke Griffin: "Pencils down."
Indra: "What the hell are you doing here?"
Raven Reyes: "Saving our asses, again. (to Nikki) Thank you."
Nikki: "It's what Hatch would do."
Jordan Green: "For my first trick, I will make an army appear."
Jordan Green: "Well, they're distracted."
Hope Diyoza: "Long enough for us to die."
Indra: "We all die. When is out of our control. This is a good how."
Levitt: "You do realize that if Clarke can't stop the test, then we are buying time for Wanheda to be the witness for the human race."
Octavia Blake: "Can I ask you something? If she gets it done, will my brother Transcend?"
Levitt: "No. Shepherd's Passage, Book of Bardo, Chapter 1, Verse 6. 'Death is the end my friend. Only the living shall Transcend.'"
Octavia Blake: "Must've slept through that class. (Levitt becomes serious) What?"
Levitt: "If she does take the test, then today's the end. Either way, Transcendence or extinction... I would have liked to live a little first."
Octavia Blake: "Same."
Clarke Griffin: "Why am I still here?"
The Judge (as Lexa): "You know why."
Clarke Griffin: "Lexa." (hugs the Judge)
The Judge: "I'm not her, Clarke."
Clarke Griffin: "I know. (releases the Judge after a few moments) The test isn't over?"
The Judge: "No. I'm sorry. We can't stop what's been set in motion. Your species must now be judged through you. (walks over to Cadogan's pool of blood) This man was unarmed, no threat to you, yet you killed him. Why?"
Clarke Griffin: "He killed my daughter."
The Judge: "Is Madi dead?"
Clarke Griffin: "No, but she will be because of him."
The Judge: "So your need for revenge is more important than the fate of the entire human race?"
Clarke Griffin: "It's not revenge. It's justice."
The Judge: "Clarke... (in Trigedasleng) A rose by any other name is still... blood must have blood."
Clarke Griffin: "You don't know my pain."
The Judge: "You're wrong. During the test, I sense every part of you. I'm feeling your pain right now."
Clarke Griffin: "Really? Then feel me holding Lexa as she dies. Feel me seeing someone else wear my mother's face. Feel me murder my best friend to save my child, only to have her die anyway. Feel that."
The Judge: "You suffer and inflict suffering on others. Pain begets pain. That's not justice, Clarke. You say you do these things to protect your people, but you're all one... people. That much Cadogan had right."
Clarke Griffin: "He created a world without love to get to you. He killed my child to get to you. Have you ever considered that you're the problem? How dare you judge me when you annihilate entire species because they don't live up to your ideals? Have I pulled the lever to commit genocide? Yes, I have. And did love make me do this? You're damn right it did! But what's your excuse? You play games with people and call yourselves higher beings. You are no better than the murderers I've killed, and you are no better than me!"
The Judge: "I am sorry for all you have lost. You've borne so much... but if you are humanity, then I'm afraid humanity is not worthy of taking the next step. It has been decided. (in Trigedasleng) Your fight is over."
John Murphy: "I remember that. The place we first met. Love at first knife to throat. Oh, you are so beautiful."
Emori: "John, where are we?"
John Murphy: "Josephine called it the Mindspace. If it were up to me I would've chosen our cave, but..."
Emori: "I died."
John Murphy: "You did. Not acceptable."
Emori: "You put my Mind Drive in your head. Two minds, one body. You'll die, too. You have to take it out."
John Murphy: "Without you, I'd just be surviving, Emori, I wouldn't be living."
Emori: "No, no."
John Murphy: "Hey, hey. I would take a few more hours with you over forever without."
Emori: "No, no, no. You can't do this. I won't let you do this, so wake up."
John Murphy: "Emori..."
Emori: "Wake up. Just wake up! (shoves Murphy) Wake up! Wake up! Wake up! Jackson! Jackson! Wake him up!"
John Murphy: "Emori."
Emori: "Don't let him do this! Jackson! John! John! (Murphy grabs her) Let go of me!"
John Murphy: "Stop! Stop! This is ok with me."
Emori: "No, it's not ok with me."
John Murphy: "It's ok, it's ok." (music begins playing)
Emori: "What is that? (Murphy laughs) What?"
John Murphy: "The last time I asked you to dance you stabbed me with a butcher knife."
Emori: "Relationships."
John Murphy: "Yeah." (Murphy and Emori dance together)
Raven Reyes (seeing Cadogan's body and the look on Clarke's face): "Oh, that can't be good."
Clarke Griffin: "What have I done?"
Raven Reyes: "Clarke, wait! Did you take the test? Tell me what happened."
Clarke Griffin: "I failed. It should have been you, not me. They should have picked you first."
Raven Reyes: "So that's it? We don't transcend? We're wiped out? It's over? (Clarke nods) Well, can we change their minds?"
Clarke Griffin: "I don't know. I need to be with Madi. There's not much time."
Raven Reyes: "Clarke, wait! (the Anomaly Stone turns red) Ah. Touching a pulsar. What could go wrong?"
Raven Reyes (looking out of the Ark's window): "No way! Wait, where's Earth?"
The Judge (as Abby Griffin): "About 42 billion light-years away."
Raven Reyes: "You read our thoughts and take the form of someone we love."
The Judge: "Very good. Yours is an interesting choice. Not your real mother, yet her opinion of you mattered even more. You fear her judgment."
Raven Reyes: "Am I here to talk about me?"
The Judge: "Why are you here? The test is over. As you know, Clarke failed."
Raven Reyes: "How can that be? Clarke sacrificed everything for us so that we didn't have to. She gave up her soul so we could keep ours."
The Judge: "She committed atrocities.
Raven Reyes: "She was trying to save us."
The Judge: "She doomed you. I'm sorry."
Raven Reyes: "Are you? Because to me it looks like you don't feel anything. Have we made mistakes? Yes. Clarke, me, all of us. But we were just trying to survive. I'm not saying we're ready now, and if you don't want us to join you, fine... but at least let us live, keep trying to do better. We will. We have."
The Judge: "You say you have, yet even now you are poised and on the brink of self-extermination. Look. (shows Raven the standoff between Wonkru and the Disciples) You say you're trying to do better, but all I see are two tribes of frightened creatures willing to kill the other to save themselves."
Raven Reyes: "But they're not fighting, it was just a distraction. This proves nothing."
The Judge: "They will fight, Raven, like they always do."
Raven Reyes: "You can't possibly know that." (the Judge draws Raven's attention to Shiedheda)
Sheidheda: "Let the games begin."
The Judge (as Abby Griffin): "Don't you see? Despite the beauty that humans are capable of, you can't break free from the cycle of violence. This is who you are. That's why you failed the test. It's time for us to go, Raven. The end of the human race is here."
Sheidheda (in Trigedasleng): "We charge! We breach the wall! We kill them all! On my..." (turns to see Indra holding a sonic cannon)
Indra (in Trigedasleng): "For my mother." (kills Sheidheda)
Octavia Blake: "Enough! What the hell are we doing here? You swore an oath to fight for all mankind. Well look around you! We are mankind, we are Wonkru! If I kill you, I kill myself. If we keep killing each other, there won't be anyone left to save. Our fight is over, Indra."
Indra: "I hope you know what you are doing."
Octavia Blake: "We're unarmed. I know you're afraid to walk away from everything you've spent your lives training for. I am too. My brother believed as you do.. that transcendence -- whatever that means -- is within reach. He died for that belief and for that he'll never get there. Never transcend. I don't know what I believe, but I do know that if we fight this war we don't deserve to find out if he was right. We don't deserve to survive. We fail, we die."
Raven Reyes: "She's reaching them." (the Judge looks shocked)
Octavia Blake: "I've been to war and let me tell you... the only way to win is not to fight."
Raven Reyes: "I told you, we can change. We just need more time. Please."
Octavia Blake: "Bellamy was right."
Clarke Griffin: "Is anyone here? Murphy? Emori? (Piccaso runs to Clarke) Hey girl! Where are we gonna live girl? Where are we gonna live?"
Clarke Griffin: "I don't wanna be alone."
The Judge (as Lexa) "You're not."
Clarke Griffin: "What do you want?"
The Judge: "To explain."
Clarke Griffin: "There's no need. I get it. I bear it so they don't have to. Again."
The Judge: "Such a curious species. You've added so much to us already. I'm glad to have been wrong about you."
Clarke Griffin: "Wait. Does that mean... you're here to take me with you?"
The Judge: "No. You can never join us, Clarke. Your actions must have a cost."
Clarke Griffin: "Just mine? Am I the only human being who ever sinned?"
The Judge: "Of course not. But you are the only test subject from any species anywhere in the universe since the dawn of time who committed murder during a test."
Clarke Griffin: "I'd do it again."
The Judge: "Madi knew you'd say that."
Clarke Griffin: "Madi's with you then?"
The Judge: "In a manner of speaking, yes. Her consciousness has joined ours. She's at peace. She'll never feel pain, she'll never die. She knew that living here without anyone her own age to love is something you wouldn't have wanted for her even if it meant you being alone. I suppose that choice was made easier with the realization that you wouldn't be."
Clarke Griffin: "Transcendence is a choice? You can choose to come back?"
The Judge: "Of course. Though, until now, no one ever had. (Clarke sees her friends nearby) There won't be offspring, and they won't join us when they die. None of them seem to care."
John Murphy: "Hey. There she is."
Niylah: "Clarke!"
The Judge: "A curious species, indeed."

Notes and Trivia[]

  • Raven is able to revive Emori using a defibrillator.
    • Raven comments that she's used a defibrillator before on herself. This is a reference to "The Other Side" when Raven had to shock herself with one after curing her condition due to the problems that her heart murmur caused.
  • When Murphy decides to place Emori's Mind Drive into his own head, Jackson reminds him of how badly it went when Clarke and Josephine Lightbourne shared a body in Season Six.
  • Reactivating Earth's Anomaly Stone in "The Dying of the Light" appears to have made the planet available again on the Disciples' star map as both Raven and Clarke have no trouble in traveling to Earth following the Stone's reactivation.
  • It's confirmed that Jordan Green was correct about it being a test and not a Last War. In addition, its revealed that Becca Franko had refused to take the test when she entered the code in "Anaconda." It's also revealed that the Bardoans were one of many races that had failed the test and were wiped out as a result.
  • When Jordan transcends, its revealed to be the vision that he had experienced in "The Blood of Sanctum" while being Adjusted.
  • Echo and Niylah are revealed to still be alive and are rescued by Nikki and the Eligius Prisoners.
  • The human race achieves transcendence although Clarke remains behind with Picasso on Earth. Murphy, Emori, Indra, Gaia, Jackson, Miller, Raven, Octavia, Echo, Niylah, Jordan, Hope and Levitt decide to return to human form and join her.
    • The Judge also states that those who remain untranscended will be unable to bear children, and will not join them upon death.
  • The Judge takes on the form of Callie Cadogan, Lexa and Abby Griffin.
  • Sheidheda is the final character to die on the show.
    • With the Flame destroyed and his Mind Drive removed, Sheidheda's death is permanent even if humanity hadn't transcended.
  • The people that transcended leave behind energy impressions of themselves similar to the beings on Etherea, confirming that the race on that planet really did transcend.
  • The episode and series' final moment is a flashback to Clarke drawing on the floor of her cell in "Pilot," the 100's first scene. This effectively brings the show full circle.
