Season 5, Episode 1: Eden

42 days after Praimfaya, Clarke emerges from the lab on Becca's Island to find a desolate world. There is no water, no vegetation, nothing. As a Nightblood she has adapted to the radiation. She has a map of the area that shows her where to locate Rover 1. She sets off across the dried up seabed to find it, with the parting words: "at least I don't have to swim".

Rover 1's location is marked by inukshuks, Clarke digs it out. She drives off to Polis to join her mother and 1200 members of "Wonkru". Polis is buried in rubble and after futile attempts to dig down to the bunker door she has to give up. She tries to contact the Ark by radio (it is now two months since Praimfaya) but does not receive any response.

Next, she heads to the ruins of Arkadia to see if she can find food or water. She finds, as she says, "ghosts" instead.

Continuing cross-country in an unknown direction, she is overtaken by a sandstorm that destroys the solar panels on Rover 1, rendering it inoperable. Using her map, she sets off on foot to the solar fields. Things get pretty bad and she collapses in the desert. A vulture chewing on her leg after she passed out wakes her up. She follows the bird to more desert and gives up. Just as she about to commit suicide, she sees the bird again and this time it leads her to a green valley which survived Praimfaya.

After a swim in a watering hole, Clarke discovers a grounder village within the safe zone. Unfortunately, she finds all the villagers have died from radiation exposure. She burns all the corpses on a pyre. She settles in at the village and finds berries to eat. She continues to try to contact the Ark without success.

58 days after Praimfaya, while eating berries, Clarke has her first sighting of Madi - in the form of a wild child. Madi leads Clarke into a trap and tries to kill her until she realizes that Clarke is a Nightblood. At first, Madi continues to stay away, but softens up after Clarke draws a picture of her. Six years later, Madi is a preteen and the two Nightbloods living an idyllic life. She can now drive a rover. The two have developed a maternalistic bond.

Meanwhile, a group of seven survivors have been surviving on the Ark. Some things have changed while others have stayed the same. Monty and Harper are still together, while Murphy and Emori have split up. Bellamy has pursued a romantic relationship with Echo. Bellamy looks out the window to the planet below, whilst Raven and Echo train together. When its meal time, they all take a break and join Monty, Harper, Emori, and Bellamy for a meal. Murphy, however, doesn't eat with them. He has claimed his own area of the Ark and is antagonistic to the rest of the group.

The group tries to contact those on Earth, but Raven points out that the atmospheric radiation prevents radio contact. Murphy spots another spaceship in orbit. A couple hours later, they see a dropship heading to the ground (the prisoner transport that Clarke first saw at the end of season 4). It is heading to the green spot on the planet that the Ark survivors have named "Eden". The group decides they need to get to the mothership and start preparing to leave the Ark, some more happy than others.

On the ground, heavily armed prisoners emerge from the dropship. They have spied the green spot from space and fan out to check the location. Spying on them, Clarke gets a read on their numbers and weaponry. When a couple of the prisoners find Madi, Clarke runs back to Madi. Clarke and Madi end up killing the two men, but the gunshots tell the rest of the prisoners that they are not alone.

In the bunker, gladiator style fight is going on, watched over by Octavia sitting on a throne. Also in the viewing crowd, Nathan, Indra, and Gaia can be glimpsed.
