'The 100' Season 4 Episode 7: Will Abby Take One Person's Life for the Greater Good?
Clarke (Eliza Taylor) may have made it to Becca's Island safely, but losing that one barrel of hydrazine they were transporting also rendered their trip barely half accomplished. And with their pilot, Raven (Lindsey Morgan), going through a major seizure only seconds after successfully landing the rocket in simulation, can Project Nightblood ever get off the ground in the next episode of "The 100"?
The official synopsis for the upcoming episode does not give away any details about Raven's current condition. Will she be able to recover soon enough to fly herself and Abby (Paige Turco) off to space on a mission to save humanity, or will she have to risk her own life doing it?
After losing The Ark, and in effect much of their hope for survival, Clarke suggested that they start focusing their remaining resources to Plan B, which was for Raven and Abby to go into space to develop an immunization injection. They would need every drop of hydrazine they could get, but after the previous episode's unfortunate turns, which left them with not enough fuel and not much of a pilot either, this plan may no longer be in effect.

Fortunately, Abby seems to have a Plan C, as teased in the official trailer for the episode. After receiving a call from Kane (Henry Ian Cusick) that the deadly Black Rain has arrived in Arkadia, she starts considering another possible solution. The only catch is that in order to test this solution out, someone will have to be exposed to radiation at the risk of his or her own life.
"If I take a life to find a cure, does that make me a murderer?" Abby asks her daughter, Clarke, who in turn tells her that if her plan does work, then the greater majority will survive. How will Abby get over this moral dilemma, and who will her sacrificial lamb be?
And with the radioactive Black Rain landing on Arkadia, is The CW's midseason sci-fi offering setting its fans up for more unfortunate character deaths?
The series has reportedly been renewed for a fifth season, so some, if not all, will have to survive at the end of this ordeal. The real question now is who will make the cut?
"The 100" season 4 episode 7 airs on Wednesday, March 22 at 9 p.m. EDT on The CW.
