Armed with that knowledge, Josie is first put to the test when Madi begins having night terrors.
Josie goes to comfort her, per Murphys suggestion, but Gaia says they cant wake her.
Not caring one bit about Madi or the flame, Josie wakes her up.

The next morning, Echo, Emory, and Raven find Murphy and Clarke in the tavern.
Theyve caught up on the whole Sanctum Is a Murderous Place headline and arent pleased.
Josie explains that Bellamy found out she wasnt Clarke, so she had to tie him up.
Pretending to be a prisoner, Murphy stumbles into the room where Bellamy is being held.
Bellamy says Monty would be ashamed of what Murphys doing now and watches him leave the room.
She says its the only way that Abby can save Kane.
She agrees to show Sanctum how to make nightbloods.
She is definitely not turned on by the fact that hes okay with resurrecting himselfninetimes in other peoples bodies.
He tells her hes 206 years old, and she asks if this is his last body.
Josie just needs to convince her mother that its worth erasing Kaylee and her family.
Like mother like daughter, Simone agrees and wipes the drives while saying thank you for your sacrifice.
Also not having a great day is Madi.
She trashes her room and breaks the mirror in an effort to stop Shade Heda.
Gaia says the only way to get it to stop is by doing the separation ritual.
Its a simple process but will require Madi to focus.
Shes supposed to go into a dream space in the flame where she can summon the other commanders.
However, when she gets in there, its only thesupercreepy Dark Commander.
He tells Madi that her keeper is lying to her just like his did.
He says Gaia just wants to control Madi, so shell need to kill her.
It doesnt help that when Madi wakes up, Gaia has chained her to the bed.
While tracking the foraging group outside the barrier, Echo stumbles upon a man calling out for help.
He has quite literally become part of a tree.
There are apparently vines on this planet that grow through human flesh.
But Jade who was following her stops it.
Echo says cool, knocks out Jade and then ends the mans suffering.
She panics that Bellamy might be, too, but Jade assures her he has until the second moon.
Echo rushes back to Sanctum and says shell come back for Jade if theres time.
They quickly get the drop on him, but O and her 90-year-old hand are tripping her up.
He takes Diyoza back there while giving her (and us) a lesson on the old man.
It is the original Gabriel.
Aww, O has new friends.
Anyway, he taps a petrified tree to get sap.
(Wait until the essential oils people learn about this stuff!)
They rush it back to Octavia, but it doesnt have quite the same effect.
Its not healing the same way, but Xavier notices her hand is moving without her control.
He gives her a piece of chalk and she draws a logarithmic spiral.
You know, that thing everyone knows???
He says the temporal flares are sending her a message.
The anomaly called to him, too.
He has a tattoo on the spiral chest of it.
Seriously, what an odd planet.
Murphys not quite ready for his friend to die yet.
He acknowledges this to Bellamy, though, and says he will guarantee everyone elses safety.
Josie says it doesnt matter because Abby is teaching them how to make nightblood.
Bellamy says they better just kill both of them then.
You think my need for revenge is strong?
Theres only one way this ends.
Always the wild card, Josie cuts the rope holding Bellamys restraints to the ground.
He immediately goes after Russell and tries to strangle him.
But Bellamy thinks better of it and releases Russell.
Smug because his plans worked, Murphy is now two Mind Drives richer.
Back at the tavern, everyone is licking their wounds.
Madi has just found out Clarke died and shes not taking it well.
A tween with the mind of a murderous Commander in her head this is going to turn out great!
Happy with the days work, Josie finally decides to sleep in her new body.
She has no idea where she is, and neither do we.
(This feels a bit like anAwakesituation, and Im not mad about it.)
So what does this mean?
Are the consciousnesses of all hosts still lingering, or is Clarkes still there because she didnt go willingly?
How will she communicate with her friends that shes alive?
And how is Becca not in the history books alongside Diyoza and Hitler?
She created some incredibly problematic tech that is still murdering people 200+ years and hundreds of light years later.
Not cool, Becca.Not cool.Grade: B+
