"This doesn't feel right, Murph." Sophia frowned as she followed Murphy, Bellamy, and Raven to the dropship. Something felt off in the air when Raven came in, asking Murphy to come along to the dropship. Sophia tagged along when she felt an uneasiness in her gut.

Murphy glanced over at Sophia, gently elbowing her side. "It'll be fine, princess. You heard Raven, just some extra guns in case we're attacked." He shrugged as they walked a bit behind. "You really believe that? Murph, think about it. You were there when Finn killed all those grounders, doesn't it feel a little too coincidental that we were invited to come along?" Sophia questioned.

Murphy frowned as they walked. He shook his head as he elbowed her. "You're overthinking it. We'll be fine." He said as they got into the dropship to find Clarke unconscious and Finn hovering over her.

"What the hell happened?!" Sophia questioned, kneeling beside Finn to look Clarke over. "A Grounder hit her on the head," Finn muttered, looking concerned, while Bellamy tried talking to Clarke, but got no response.

"Hey. It's just a bump on the head. Clarke’s gonna be ok. We'll figure something out." Raven said, trying to calm Finn. "That’s what she said. Right before I almost got her killed..." Finn frowned.

Sophia stepped aside, giving Bellamy space once Murphy handed him some rags. She stood by the door of the dropship, anxiously bouncing her left foot. Murphy walked up beside her, glancing at her bouncing leg.

"You're doing it again. The foot thing." Murphy pointed out. Sophia attempted to will her foot to stop as she looked at him. "It's going to be fine." He gently nudged her. Sophia offered a weak smile, subconsciously leaning her head against his shoulder as she kept watch.

After a couple of hours, Clarke finally woke up. Sophia vaguely listened to the conversation, now keeping watch with Bellamy. Her head snapped up when she heard commotion coming their way. "Shit-" Sophia gritted her teeth as Bellamy grabbed her arm and ushered her towards the dropship. "Get inside!"

The two rushed inside, looking at the others. "We've got company. Grounders are here." Bellamy explained.

"It doesn't look like they're moving closer..." Murphy glanced outside. "Staying out of range. Probably waiting until it's dark." Bellamy frowned. "So we attack them," Sophia suggested. "If we hit them now, at least we'd take them by surprise," Murphy added, defending Sophia's idea.

"We don't even know how many of them are out there," Clarke argued. Sophia frowned, "Yeah, well, does anyone else have any bright ideas?" She questioned. "We give them something." Raven stood up. "All they want is Finn!" Clarke frowned.

"Finn wasn't the only one at the village." Sophia's stomach dropped as she looked over at Murphy, who looked to be going through several emotions all at once.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa. Raven, I came here to protect him. You were the one who wanted me to come--" Murphy stopped, frowning in realization, "You... That’s why you asked me to come along." His grip tightened on his gun. Sophia's heart sank as she stepped forward.

"Enough Grounders saw him at the village. They’d believe he was the shooter." Raven argued. "You sick bitch." Murphy muttered. "They want a murderer, we'll give them one." Raven shrugged as she raised her gun, aiming it at Murphy.

Sophia glared at Raven. "You can't be serious! I get it, Murph accidentally shot you, and you're still hung up on Finn, which, let's face it, there's no way his dick is THAT good. Clearly he didn't think you were good enough, either, considering he was more than happy to jump at the opportunity to be with Clarke instead. Why don't you go offer yourself up!" She snapped, standing between Murphy and the gun.

"Why am I not surprised the Roachess is coming in to defend her Roach Prince?" Raven laughed, keeping her gun pointed. "You want to be with him so damn bad, you might as well go along with him. That's bound to be enough to settle on an agreement with the grounders. Now, drop the guns." She demanded.

"Go to hell, Raven." Murphy frowned, pulling Sophia behind him. The air grew tense in the standoff when Finn's voice finally cut through the silence.

"We're not doing this. They’ve got us surrounded. The only thing we can do is stay. And defend this place." He looked over at Murphy and Sophia. "Murphy..."

"Yeah?" Murphy looked over at Finn, keeping Sophia behind him as he kept a cautious eye on Raven's direction. "You and Sophia go upstairs. Watch the rear. I'll take the lower level. The rest of you, take the front gate. That’s the plan. All right?" Finn questioned. Everyone looked at each other before nodding in agreement. They were all about to make their way to their respective areas when Finn dropped his gun and started heading out of the dropship with his arms raised.

"Finn? Finn, wait!" Clarke shouted when Bellamy grabbed her arm to stop her. "He made his choice, Clarke. We should go back to Camp Jaha." He said. Sophia frowned slightly as she followed the rest back to camp.

"You don't think Raven was actually going to shoot us...Do you?" Sophia questioned as they walked back. Murphy looked at Sophia, frowning as he shook his head. "After the stuff you ended up saying, I'm shocked she didn't do it. I didn't realize you had that in you." Sophia frowned, looking away. "You're innocent. You didn't kill those grounders. I don't know I just kind of snapped." She mumbled. "You know that's not going to beat the allegations of people assuming we're a couple." He pointed out.

Sophia shook her head. At that moment, she genuinely didn't care about the whispers around camp. Maybe the rumors were true. Maybe there was something there between her and Murphy that wasn't there before.

As the evening rolled around camp, Sophia noticed a group of citizens at the gate. She grew curious, going to investigate to find a post in the distance.

"What's this?" Sophia questioned, standing next to Bellamy, Raven, and Clarke. "It’s for Finn. They want us to watch." Clarke muttered. "We’re gonna get him. We’ll get in close and we'll hit them hard." Bellamy insisted.

Kane frowned, shaking his head, "Son... there are thousands of them. Even if we could kill hundreds, they'd still wipe out this camp, and your friend would still die." Raven frowned, looking behind her. "We have to try something!" Abby just gave a sympathetic look. "No Raven..."

Sophia watched as Raven, Clarke, and Bellamy walked over to one of the other gates. She watched as Raven handed Clarke a small knife. "That's not going to end well..." Murphy observed. Sophia frowned, stepping away from the gate, heading back inside the ARK. "Where are you going?" Murphy questioned, following after Sophia.

"I have a feeling I know where this is about to go. I don't know about you, but I'd rather not be near Raven when she loses her mind over Finn dying." Sophia muttered. "Fair enough." Murphy shrugged as he followed Sophia. Sure enough, not long after Sophia and Murphy went inside, Raven's screams could be heard echoing throughout the camp.

Sophia frowned, sitting down on her bed as she thought about what had just happened out there. Finn was dead. Either one of the grounders killed him, or Clarke used that knife to give him a mercy kill. Either way, it was done now. Maybe there can be a bit of peace temporarily with the grounders now. Maybe now they can go back to focusing on getting the others out of Mount Weather.
