Speaking of pieces, let’s get another one for ourselves! Flashback again to Becca, injecting herself with something black. Her commander comes in and tries to give her orders because her assistant ratted her out. He says that it’s Unity Day, it’s supposed to be a day where the 13 stations become one, and he won’t have her new AI access to the only humans left in the universe (so he thinks) when her first AI ended the world.
Becca insists that Alie 2.0 will have something vital that OG Alie didn’t: She will understand what it means to be human, she will value life, and learn to coexist with humanity. She says Alie will be able to run checks on their oxygen and food supplies and ensure they’ll live as long as they need to without the risk of human error forcing them to have to float 300 people to gain a few months or something. Becca holds the prism that is Alie 2 and says that saving her will save them all.
But her assistant is ruthless, and the commander insists they float all of her research before they dock with the rest of the stations. Becca plays along until the commander and assistant are on the other side of some doors and locks them out. She’s like “Sorry not sorry” and heads back into her lab to finish what she’s started.
In Polis, Clarke leads Octavia to her room and asks if O is okay.
Octavia asks why Indra isn’t at Lexa’s side anymore, and Clarke says Indra isn’t doing so well. Octavia asks what their next steps are, and Clarke says she needs to talk to Lexa. Octavia is to Clarke as Titus is to Lexa, saying that they can’t trust Lexa and that she isn’t surprised that Clarke continues to defend the Commander. Clarke tells Octavia to stay put and leaves her while she goes to talk to Lexa, and Octavia knows Clarke has been gone too long if she really thinks that’s going to work.
Clarke goes to see Lexa and is surprised to see her being so calm, despite someone just trying to kill her. Lexa isn’t fazed; her life is threatened every day —she is Heda.
Clarke asks when she and Octavia have to leave to get to the other side of the blockade, and Lexa says that just because they’re drawing a line between Skaikru and Trikru doesn’t mean that Clarke has to go back to the other side. Clarke doesn’t oppose the idea, but she knows Titus will.
