At the Camp, all is quiet as Clarke leaves flowers at Wells' grave. Amelie approaches her.

Amelie: They got Wells just outside the wall. 

Clarke: Says the girl who just spent another night exploring the woods all by himself. 

Amelie: But I'm reckless. And irresponsible. I got you something.

She then produces a colored pencil for Clarke.

Clarke: Where did you get this? 

Amelie: The art supply store. 

Clarke: I know when we were kids... Wells was always giving me ink, charcoal, just anything I could draw with, really. I found out later that he was trading his own stuff to give it to me. He didn't want me to know that, either. He let me hate him so that I wouldn't hate my mother. 

Amelie: I know. 

Clarke: My mother killed my father. Just wish there was something I could do. To tell her I know. Make her feel what I'm...

She then gets looks that suggest she got a very bad idea. She starts walking towards the dropship.

Amelie: Where are you going? 

Clarke: To make her feel it.

THE ARK

An alarm sounds in Earth Monitoring Station and Abby sees that it is Clarke's title that has gone dark this time. tries calming Abby.

Abby: No! No. No. Hell no. No. No. Th... this isn't right. 

Jackson: Abby. 

Abby: No. 

Jackson: Abby. 

Abby: Okay. It's not conclusive. Just because her wristband went out doesn't mean... okay. It's the first terminated signal in over a week. We can still assume that things are stabilizing on Earth. We should assume that. I need an analysis of Clarke's vital signs for the past two days. 

Jackson: Abby... 

Abby: Just have it ready for me when I get back.

THE GROUND

Clarke just removed her wristband and gave it to Monty to communicate with the ark.

Monty: Yes! I did it. It's still operational.

Amelie gives Clarke a look of disappointment. 

Clarke: What? Monty needed a working wristband. 

Amelie: And you needed to punish your mother. 

Clarke: Look, they're running out of air, and we need their help. My mother thinking I'm dead is only temporary. 

Monty: Not if I can't patch it through the dropship mainframe. I can do it. We'll be talking to The Ark by nightfall.

Outside of the drop ship, the are busy constructing a wall and  Murphy reports to  Bellamy.

Murphy: This section should be finished by tomorrow.
