In ***Adjustment Protocol***, Abby is reduced to immediate tears at the idea that Clarke is truly dead and threatens to kill Russell Lightbourne over her loss, something that Russell believes as one parent to another. Abby is later overjoyed to learn that Clarke has survived. In turn, Clarke is devastated when Abby is mind wiped to become the new host to Simone Lightbourne. Clarke holds out hope that Abby survived in ***The Blood of Sanctum***, but accepts the truth after Russell confirms that her neural mesh is gone. Though Simone tries to trick Clarke by pretending to be Abby, Clarke is able to see through it and decides to float everybody in the corridor, Simone included.
