"Clarke, where have you been?" Abby questioned her daughter as soon as she and Finn had returned to camp. "We're leaving!"
"I know how to stop the attack!" The blonde wasted no time informing them, causing Jaha to instantly look at her in bewilderment.
"What are you talking about?" He asked.
"We haven't been able to negotiate with the Grounders because we haven't had anything to offer them," Clarke continued. "The biggest threat that they face, is from the Reapers. And I think we may be able to eliminate that threat for them once and for all."
The small group of four paused for a moment in thought, before Abby eventually spoke up once more. "How?"

"Let me talk to the Commander," Clarke said with conviction. "She was Anya's second. Maybe she'll listen."
"We don't even know if the Commander is here," Jaha replied, clearly frustrated.
"Yes we do," Finn cut in. "Nyko told us." Jaha looked over at him, skeptically, but the boy's gaze never wavered. "You have to at least let her try." He added.
