"This way! There it is." Faye pointed.

"Go!"

Faye found Clarke running towards them.

"Everyone, get in the ship now!" Clarke told them, her arm still around Faye.

"Clarke, what is this? What's going on?" Echo asked.

"I'll tell you inside. No. Not them." Clarke pointed to the prisoners.

"Yes them." Faye corrected. "First we save their lives, then we let them prove they deserve it."

"The Commanders told you that?" Clarke asked.

"No. Bellamy." Faye said, looking over at him.

"Where's Abby? Gaia will need her." Indra asked.

"She's not with you?" Clarke asked. "She was at the village. I've gotta get her."

"No. We left a group to go door to door." Echo said. "They'll bring her in."

"And Madi?" Clarke looked at Faye.

"On her way."

They all waited outside the ship, waiting for the wounded. Once they came, everyone rushed to help them into the ship.

"Bellamy." Faye called, still seeing him standing and waiting.

"I'm waiting for them." He insisted.

"One minute to impact."

"Bellamy, we have to go." Faye ran up to him.

"Faye, you do what you have to for your people. I do what I have to for my friends. I can't do that again." Bellamy said. "Get back on the ship."

"I'm not gonna leave you." Faye insisted. She would not leave until Bellamy got on the ship.

"Faye, we need to fire the engines." Raven said. "Close the door or I will."

Faye grabbed the radio. "Raven, we need a little more time." Faye said.

"There is no more time. Tell Bellamy to get on the damn ship."

"Bellamy, please..." Faye begged, trying to pull him towards the ship.

"Faye, I don't want to do this either, but I'm firing the thrusters." Raven said.

"Bellamy! Wait!" Monty yelled as they came just through the forest.

"There they are!" Bellamy ran towards them.

"They're here." Faye told Raven. "Bellamy!"

Once they were all in the ship, Faye pulled the lever and closed the doors. As the door closed, Faye saw a missile destroy the last home she had.

"Raven, they're in. Go for launch."

Everyone met in the bridge to decide what would happen next. 

"It's gone, guys." Harper and Monty were looking out the window at their home.

"Close it up, Shaw." Emori said.

"Like our ancestors on the Ark, we're the last of the human race." Bellamy said. 

"Your ancestors were wrong. We're not." Faye pointed out. 

"412 people on this ship. Thanks to Faye, we saved who could be saved. Now it's our job to keep them alive. How do we do that?" Bellamy said. 

"Algae?"
