Season 5 Speculation: Space
Season 4 ended with Bellamy, Raven, Echo, Emori, Murphy, Monty, and Harper back up to the remnants of the Ark.
I think the biggest challenge they will face is getting the Ark back up and running so that they can survive for the next five years, well six years. With both Raven and Monty aboard those challenges will be easily solved even if it takes some time.
Obviously there is the challenge of getting themselves back down to Earth. It is hard to say what was left back up on Ark after the adults jettisoned from it and my lack of familiarity with rocket science to determine how they will get back to Earth. I just know they will.
Bellamy
Bellamy is going to naturally fall into the leadership position. He will only follow those whom he deems worthy even if the logic of it is shaky (*cough*Pike*cough*). Even when he follows, he is still given some type of position of authority. I do think he will move on from Clarke after a period of mourning. My best guess is that he will be romantically involved with Raven. Even though he kept her from killing herself, he doesn’t trust Echo after all the stuff she has pulled. Plus she attempted to kill Octavia twice, that isn’t something I could see him getting over. Of course he could just pull a threesome with both Raven and Echo.
Raven
Raven will also fall into a leadership position more specifically when it comes to keeping the Ark up and running. As I stated I can see her and Bellamy becoming romantically involved but part of me hopes that her, Murphy, and Emori form a poly relationship.
Echo
Echo is going to go through a rough transition up on the Ark. It is going to be a complete culture shock for her. Her role in Azgeda was basically spy/assassin and there is no need for one of those in space. There is also no one up there with the exception of Emori that can spar with her. I can see her training the others in weapons and fighting as a means to pass the time. I could see her possibly with Bellamy but honestly she will stay unattached.
Monty
Monty is going to be instrumental in getting a hydroponic farm up and running on the Ark again. He was from farm station so he knows the system best. Also being an engineer, he is going to be Raven’s right hand man in keeping things running. I can’t foresee him with anyone but Harper so I am going to go with him and Harper still being together.
Harper
Harper’s job was to be on the guard and like Echo there is currently no need for her job. I can see her as being one of the first ones to train with Echo. I can see her doing a lot of odd jobs and assisting Monty with things.
Murphy
Murphy has shown that he has some culinary skills so he will probably end up being the group’s chef. Though pretty much Murphy wants to do what Murphy wants to do and that will probably lead to him and Bellamy bumping heads on occasion. Him and Emori are cut from the same cloth so I can’t see him gelling with anyone else except maybe to let Raven into their duo.
Emori
I see Emori becoming less Grounder and more Skaikru. Judging by her reactions to Raven floating, I can see her going on some space walks of her own, learning new things from her. I can see her shying away from the group, turning to Murphy on how to act until she finds her footing.
