( September 2020 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this message ) Trapped inside of her own mind, Clarke learns that she survived thanks to having a piece of A.L.I.E. inside of her from when Clarke entered the City of Light. A.L.I.E. helps Clarke protect the memory of Clarke using an EMP to free Raven from the AI's control as the Primes can use it to get rid of Clarke for good. Searching through her mindscape to try and find a way to stop Josephine, Clarke is confronted by manifestations of her father, Octavia as Bloodreina, and Maya, until Josephine manages to talk Clarke into surrendering by suggesting that this would be the final sacrifice necessary to save her people. However, as Clarke prepares for death, she is confronted by a manifestation of Monty, who convinces Clarke to examine Josephine's memories, revealing that Josephine encouraged a twisted form of eugenics where anyone not capable of producing Nightblood offspring would be killed, preaching that only the Primes deserved to live. Although inspired to continue opposing Josephine, Clarke fails to regain control of her body and enrages Josephine in the process. At the same time, Bellamy and Miller use Clarke's murder to negotiate a deal with Russell. During the meeting, Clarke is able to seize control of one finger and use it to discreetly send a Morse code message to Bellamy that she is still alive. Quickly grasping the implications, Bellamy tells Miller that they will get Clarke back. Josephine warns her parents that Clarke is still alive but knows how to get rid of Clarke for good.
