From the hatches we will rise.
The clock is ticking, and it has been since we landed on this terrible, beautiful planet.
Now were cooking with hydrazine!

(Sorry, way too many pun opportunities here.)
With only 10 days left until the death wave hits, the suspense is palpable.
Clarke is turning Beccas lab into Mount Weather v.2.
Bellamy is succumbing to Jaspers neer-do-well attitude.
Jaha has a mission to save the world.
AndHenry Ian Cusick is opening a hatch.
To say God Complex was a thrill ride is an understatement.
Lets get started…
On the island, Baylis is in the radiation chamber.
Hes successfully processed Lunas nightblood, which means theyre ready to crank up the radiation on him.
So Abby gives the Jackson the go ahead and he begins cranking the knob.
At 2,000 REM, the level of black rain, Baylis is showing no visible signs of radiation sickness.
By the time its safe, hes already bled out and died.
What have we done?
Later, Raven recalculates their time-to-live timetable.
Murphy asks, Hows the weather, Reyes?
Forecast still calling for death?
It is, and theyre running out of time.
This confuses Clarke since he was supposed to be Sangedakru.
Luckily, theyre able to stop her, and they tie her and Murphy both up to the spaceship.
Clarke says she doesnt know what else to do; Roan says thereisnothing else to do.
And doing nothing will lead to all their deaths, Abby says.
When Abby tells Jackson to prep Luna for another extraction, the Nightblood puts her foot down.
Shed rather walk out into the black rain than let her blood be used to kill more innocent people.
So youre gonna strap her down and take her bone marrow?
Welcome to Mount Weather.
But the dark cloud that is Mount Weather isnt enough to stop them.
Raven throws back that they probably thought the same thing in Mount Weather.
Honestly, Im not sure who to side with on this debate.
In this instance, theyre sacrificing others foreveryoneto live.
No sacrifice, no human race ever again.
So, yeah, theres no right answer here, but Roan thinks theyre doing the right thing.
He tells her that history will look kindly on her.
Still tied to the ship, Murphy is trying to bite his ties off.
Emori tells him to be calm and stay on Clarkes side so he wont be the next to go.
Survive, yo, she pleads with him.
But when Clarke opens the doors, he yells at her that shes a murderer and shouldnt do this.
Miller drugs Emori and places her on the table, where Abby cant bring herself to give the injection.
I mean, I kind of saw that coming, but Im still very proud of our girl.
Two hours later, Clarkes blood is ready for her to go into the radiation machine.
With the ability to test nightblood kaput, all hope is lost.
Jahas ears perk up at that and he asks where it comes from.
Apparently, only a flamekeeper can answer that question, and now Jaha has another mission.
(I knew he couldnt be holding onto that medallion for no reason!)
Jaha convinces Kane to take him to see Indra, who hopefully knows where Gaia is.
That gets her attention.
Monty sees a tattoo on her arm, which just so happens to match Jahas medallion.
(This part felt a bit likeNational Treasureto me, which was kind of fun.)
Indra really needs to do some yoga or something andchill.
Anyway, they get inside and pull back rubble until they find the seal on the ground.
Jaha thinks his medallion will fit inside it, but that doesnt open anything.
They have a go at pry it open, but that doesnt work either.
With more Azgeda warriors closing in on them, theyre running out of time.
Gaia says maybe theyre meant to burn at the end of the world.
And this time a lightbulb goes off for Monty.
From the ashes we will rise is more than a motto.
They throw Jahas medallion in the fire it burns red and melts down into the 13th seal.
It fits into the hole in the floor and opens a hatch.
(Henry Ian Cusick is opening a hatch.
This would only be more exciting for usLostfans if the hatch was on the island.)
Where was Bellamy while all of this was going on you ask?
They took them back to camp, where Harper is also in party mode.
A young blonde woman hits on Bellamy.
Niylah makes them all drug tea.
Its a whole thing.
Well have to wait until April to find out.
