"Thank God she's still in there. It would have destroyed Abby." Jackson said in relief when Bellamy told them all the news.
"Question is, how do we get Josephine out?" Bellamy asked.
"We need Raven. She'll know what to do." Echo said.
"Raven's not here." Faye pointed out, tapping her finger on the table repeatedly.
"Hey, we're gonna get her back." Bellamy assured her. "When the transport ship lands, we'll be waiting in the field with Josephine. Once we're all back on the mothership, Abby, Raven, and Jackson will go to work." Bellamy explained.
"What if they don't open the shield and let us out?" Miller asked.
"If they don't, Josephine dies." Echo stated.
"That's why they will." Bellamy insisted.
"What about Delilah? If Clarke's still alive, then she could be, too." Jordan said. The table fell silent. "You only care about Clarke."
"That's not true, but worry about Clarke for now. We start asking questions and the Primes figure out why—" Bellamy said and was cut off by Faye.
"They can't figure it out if they're dead." Faye said. She looked up and noticed everyone was staring. "Once we kill the Primes, we take over Sanctum. We save Clarke here in the lab that was built for it." Faye shrugged, oblivious to all the worry on the other's faces.
"Is that your idea or Sheidheda's?" Bellamy asked.
"Who cares if it works? I've been surveilling the one named Miranda. We kill her and let them find the body. They'll think it's the Children of Gabriel and panic, locking themselves inside the palace, probably the Great Hall, and that's where we'll be waiting to take out the rest." Faye said.
"We're not killing Delilah." Jordan said.
"Delilah's already dead." Faye said with no tact.
"We don't know that for sure." Jordan looked down at her.
"You're right, but what we do know is, I'm the Commander. Echo thinks it's a good plan, don't you, Echo?" Faye looked across the table at the spy.
"A little aggressive for the situation, but it could work if we're willing to kill all of their people along with them when they come after us for killing their gods." Echo explained.
"We are." Faye shrugged.
"No, we're not." Bellamy said. "Gaia would tell you the same thing if she were here. We have until the ship lands to come up with a quiet way to get Clarke on it." Bellamy tried to ignore Faye's glaring.
"What about Murphy and Emori?" Jackson asked.
"For now, we tell them nothing."
"Emori, too?" Echo asked.
"We have to assume that she's with him. Don't worry. When it's time to go, we're taking them with us, even if we have to do it by force."

Jackson and Miller ran through Sanctum, looking for Faye.
"Faye?" Miller called out to Jackson.
"Not on any of the lower levels. Where's Jordan?" Jackson asked when they met up.
"I thought he was with you." Miller said.
"No. We split up to cover more ground. I'll find him, too, but you need to go now." Miller said.
"What? No. I'm not leaving without you." Jackson said.
"Miranda Prime is dead!" A man shouted. "The Children of Gabriel are here." He held Miranda's lifeless body.
"It's Faye's plan." Miller said.
"She's in the Great Hall. We got to find her before she kills someone else." Jackson began running towards the palace, with Miller following.
"Everyone out. Prime Protection Protocol. Move out."
"Let's go."
Faye left the shadows and found Priya. She started to walk towards her, her knife in hand.
She went to lodge the knife in between her ribs when Jordan knocked her out of the way.
"Jordan?" Faye looked down at him, the knife now in his stomach.
"Lock her up with the others and call the doctors." Cassius said as he grabbed Faye by the arm.
"Let me through! I'm a doctor!" Jackson insisted as he tried to push through the guards.
Faye stepped on Cassius' foot and elbowed him in the throat. He let go of her and Faye ran.
"Faye, stop!" Miller grabbed her arm and held her back from trying to kill anyone else.
"Miller, let go!" She screamed as she tried to pull away from him but he wouldn't budge.
