I feel the sun on my face. I see trees all around me, the scent of wildflowers on a breeze. It's so beautiful. In this moment, I'm not stranded in space. It's been ninety-seven years since a nuclear apocalypse killed everyone on Earth, leaving the planet simmering in radiation. Fortunately, there were survivors. Twelve nations had operational space stations at the time of the bombs. There is now only the Ark, one station forged from the many. We're told the Earth needs another hundred years to become survivable again. Four more space-locked generations, and man can go home, back to the ground. The ground, that's the dream. This is reality.

(To Clarke) Earth, Clarke. You get to go to Earth.
They dropped us on the wrong damn mountain.
You don't like being called "princess," do you, Princess?
Octavia. Octavia, no. Let's give them something else to remember you by.
Yeah? Like What?
Like being the first person on the ground in 100 years.
We're back, Bitches!
I wonder, "Why haven't we seen any animals?" Maybe it's because there are none. Maybe we've already been exposed to enough radiation to kill us. Sure is pretty, though. Come on.
Someone should slip her some poison sumac.
I got to know what you two did to get busted.
Sumac is not the only herb in the garden, if you know what I mean.
Someone forgot to replace what we took.
Someone has apologised, like, 1,000 times.
How about you, Octavia? What'd they get you for?
Being born.
(To Clarke) Hey, you're the traitor who's been in solitary for a year.
(To Clarke) Why so serious, Princess? It's not like we died in a fiery explosion.
(To Clarke) They got a bar in this town? I'll buy you a beer.
Here, there are no laws. Here, we do whatever the hell we want whenever the hell we want.
Now you don't have to like it, Wells. You can even try to stop it or change it. Kill me. You know why? Whatever the hell we want.
(To Clarke and Wells) I got a better idea. You two go, find it for us. Let the privileged do the hard work for a change.
We're not alone.
(To The 100) It turns out, when the last man from the ground died on the Ark, he wasn't the last Grounder.
(To The 100) Everything we thought we knew about the ground is wrong.
