In ***Pilot***, when Marcus Kane enters the Ark's Earth Monitoring Station, Sinclair tells him that the Delinquents' dropship has suffered total system failure and were off-course as of their last telemetry. Sinclair warns that the only communications left is the telemetry from the Delinquents' wristbands and everything that they had programed into the dropship to help them is gone. Sinclair later attends the briefing where Kane and Abby Griffin argue about the status of the Delinquents' on the ground.

When Abby is nearly floated, she orders Eric Jackson to talk to Sinclair about potentially using the Delinquents' wristbands to contact them.

In ***Earth Skills***, Jackson mentions that Sinclair said that the wristbands aren't meant to receive signals so even if the Ark could send one, the Delinquents couldn't receive it through the wristbands.

In ***Twilight's Last Gleaming***, Sinclair reports that all vents and hatchways to Section 17 have been closed and they have a hard seal. Sinclair asks for the order for him to vent the air and begin the Culling, but Jaha steps forward and does it himself, taking on the burden of killing 320 people rather than making Sinclair do it. Along with everyone else, Sinclair watches as the people in Section 17 are suffocated to buy the Ark more time to fix the life support systems.

In ***Contents Under Pressure***, Sinclair can be seen listening in on the transmission The Ark is receiving. Sinclair manages to zero in on the frequency channel Raven Reyes is using. When Clarke Griffin gets on the microphone and reveals that Wells Jaha is dead, Sinclair feels remorse for Jaha.

In ***Unity Day***, Sinclair is seen informing Jaha that a few stations on The Ark have lost all power. He then informs him that if Diana Sydney manages to take off in the Exodus ship then she will cut off almost all power on The Ark, killing most of the Citizens. Later he is seen aiding Jaha, Kane, and a few other guards try to keep the doors to the Exodus Ship open to prevent its launch. They are able to keep the doors open but, it is forced closed when a man jumps on the Exodus Ship after he learns from Diana Sydney that there are not enough drop ships for all the Citizens on the Ark. Sinclair and the others stand back, the Exodus Ship takes off and all power on the Ark is lost.

In ***The Calm***, Sinclair is mentioned by Kyle Wick, who said Sinclair instructed him to hold open a door. Sinclair can be seen in Earth Monitoring Station alongside Jaha and a few others after The Ark suffered catastrophic failure. Sinclair and the others are running out of oxygen, and decide that before they die they will supply as much power to as many stations as possible. However, Kane and a few others come in and rescue them, giving them oxygen masks. When Sinclair and the others are brought to their feet, Sinclair and Wick explain how there might be some survivors who might have been thrown off of the ship by Diana Sydney, as they state there are apparently some stations close to the Exodus Ship launch area which are still intact.

In ***We Are Grounders (Part 1)***, Sinclair can be seen in Earth Monitoring station working with Kane to figure out a solution to save The Ark. However, Sinclair sees there is no hope and requests to go home to his wife. Jaha then walks into the room and asks Sinclair if they use The Ark's thrusters to get to the ground, how much will be destroyed, which Sinclair tells him 95%. Sinclair is then instructed to locate the 5% that will survive and everyone will be stationed there in order to make it to the ground. Sinclair opens the blueprints given to him by Jaha and gets straight to work.

In ***We Are Grounders (Part 2)***, Sinclair explains the to the inhabitants of the Ark the workings and possible consequences of using the Ark to return Earth, explaining that some parts of the Ark will be destroyed when entering the atmosphere along with the people inside. After everyone is strapped in for the descent, Sinclair tries to remotely separate the Ark's stations from the Earth Monitoring Station with explosives so they can use the Ark's thrusters to blast them towards Earth, but the remote detonation fails and Sinclair informs Jaha that someone will have to manually detonate the bombs, therefore, someone must stay behind. Kane volunteers and is ready to leave. Sinclair tells Abby that he will have one week of air left two at the most. The Ark suddenly shakes as the bombs explode as Jaha has gone to the Earth Monitoring Station to manually detonate the bombs. The Earth Monitoring station separates from the other stations, which start heading for Earth as the thrusters activate. Sinclair survived the crash landing with Abby and Kane and is now on Earth with them.

In ***The 48***, Sinclair first appears along with Abby and the rest of the survivors of Mecha Station's crash after Kane shoots and kills Tristan. Kane then has a short discussion with Bellamy and Finn, before ordering Sinclair to take Sterling, Monroe, and the majority of the surviving adults back to Alpha Station. Later, when Kane returns to the crashed station, he discovers that Sinclair has named their new home "Camp Jaha". Sinclair then says that there has been no word from Jaha and calls Kane the new Chancellor.

In ***Many Happy Returns***, Sinclair checks the fence that surrounds Camp Jaha and confirms that it is now active. He warns everyone to stay away from it and goes to find Raven Reyes. He instructs her to get working on a radio beacon so that they can make contact with any other Ark stations who made it to Earth. File:Many Happy Returns 013 (Sinclair).png
Later, after Raven and Wick have set up a signal balloon, Sinclair compliments them on the idea. However, Major Byrne appears and shoots the balloon down and tells them that Grounders can use it to pinpoint their exact location.

In ***Human Trials***, Sinclair is present at a discussion about Mount Weather. He says that he doesn't wish to seem uncaring, but that the 47 Delinquents appear to be in no immediate danger and that they have plenty of time to come up with a plan to free them.

In ***Spacewalker***, he is seen in flashbacks telling Raven that she got her Zero G certification and congratulates her. Raven tells him that she failed the physical but he tells her that he saw her test scores and overruled the rejection.

In ***Survival of the Fittest***, Sinclair arrives at the dropship with many others. He cheerfully greets Jaha and then departs back to Camp Jaha as Thelonious and others embark on a journey to the City of Light.

In ***Coup de Grâce***, Abby mentions that Sinclair gave her a letter from Jaha saying that he left with twelve others for The City of Light.

In ***Resurrection***, Sinclair arrives at Tondc with Jackson and a group of Arkers. He explains that they saw the missile blast from Camp Jaha and that they've come to help out the Grounders affected.

In ***Ye Who Enter Here***, Bellamy, Raven, Gina, and Octavia arrive at Mount Weather and enter the dining room. Sinclair arrives and tells Raven to get working on the electrical problems. Later, as the lights are flickering on and off, Raven and Gina make their way with Sinclair to the mess hall, having been called there in an emergency. In the mess hall, as Charles Pike and Bellamy question Echo, other Farm Station members are grabbing weapons and arming themselves. Sinclair and Pike get into an argument about using the missiles in Mount Weather. Raven says she might be able to help get the launch codes. Sinclair, Raven, and Gina begin digging through the computer files in the Mount Weather Command Center as they look for the codes to the missiles. Gina suggests that Dante might have written down the passcodes and leaves to check the President's office for the codes.

Both Raven and Sinclair still have not found the launch codes. Raven gets frustrated and gives up because it is already dark and they are too late. Sinclair tells her she is someone who does not give up. He says that if she knows of a way to fix something, she fixes it and the reason she won't fix herself is because she feels she deserves it. Raven asks if she is just broken. Sinclair reminds her that he took a chance on her even with her heart defect and she should take a chance on herself, too. Gina radios in that she has not found anything in the president's office as the Ice Nation assassin arrives behind her and stabs her, mortally wounding her. Raven keeps trying to reach Gina as the assassin clears off the president's desk and triggers a monitor to access the program for Mount Weather's self-destruct feature. Gina reaches the radio and tells Raven about the self-destruct and the assassin. Raven and Sinclair chase after the assassin as he runs out the side-door of the Mountain. Sinclair gets tackled by the assassin and they fight, with the assassin getting the upper hand. Raven arrives in time and shoots the assassin dead. Sinclair gets the numbers as Raven tries to reach Gina but Gina is not responding. She starts to head back into the Mountain as Sinclair tries to stop her. Gina is dead, the countdown reaching zero reflects off Gina's eye and Mount Weather explodes, throwing Raven and Sinclair back and killing all of the Farm Station survivors who were inside.

In ***Terms and Conditions***, he was in the bar area helping with the rationing of supplies on Charles Pike's orders.

He later helps Marcus Kane by trying to tamper with Rover One to stop Pike and his followers, but he is caught by Bellamy and is charged with treason.

In ***Stealing Fire***, Sinclair, Kane, and Lincoln are sentenced to death for treason. However, he and Kane are able to escape.

In ***Fallen***, he arrives at the cave with Octavia, Kane, Bryan, Harper, and Nathan.

In ***Nevermore***, Sinclair aids Clarke, Bellamy, Octavia, Monty and Jasper in trying to free Raven from A.L.I.E. by completing Raven's work on an EMP. While he works, Sinclair expresses worry that in using the EMP, he might fry the brain of the brightest girl he knows, but completes the work anyway even when Raven warns that the EMP could cause her brain damage. After hooking up the rover's battery, Sinclair is able to fry the chip in Raven's head, freeing Raven of A.L.I.E.'s control. However, Raven remains unresponsive until Clarke cuts into the back of her neck and the liquified remains of the chip leak out. Sinclair is relieved when Raven awakens, herself again.

In ***Demons***, after arriving back at Arkadia, he is stabbed to death by Carl Emerson while protecting Raven after Emerson infiltrates Arkadia.

In ***Red Sky at Morning***, when Jaha suggests that Sinclair is the one hacking into the City of Light, A.L.I.E. reveals a knowledge of his death and that his first name is Jacapo.

n ***The Other Side***, as Raven experiences a seizure from her deteriorating condition, a hallucination of Sinclair approaches her and takes Raven's hand as she passes out. When Raven regains consciousness, she finds her hallucination of Becca Franko tied up and Sinclair waiting who chides Raven, stating that he didn't die so that she could kill herself. Raven believes that she's dying and that there's no hope, but Sinclair encourages her to try to find a solution first and suggests that they take a look at her brain and Raven agrees.

Looking at a scan of Raven's brain, Raven explains that the EMP used to free her from A.L.I.E.'s control was like shutting a computer down by pulling the plug. As a result, it left residual code inside of her brain that is causing both her increased intelligence and her deteriorating condition. Sinclair suggests purging the residual code to stop further damage and to give Raven's brain time to repair itself. Sinclair questions how she would purge the residual code in a regular computer and Raven states that she would just have to reboot it. Raven and Sinclair realize what they need to do, but are interrupted by Becca who argues with Sinclair about the plan: stopping Raven's heart long enough for all electrical activity in her brain to cease, effectively rebooting Raven's mind when she is revived. Becca argues for Raven to go to the stars to die while Sinclair argues for Raven to try her plan, freezing herself to the point that her heart stops while preserving her brain, so that she can live. Though Becca extols the virtues of Raven's increased abilities, Sinclair states that he prefers Raven herself over any genius her new intelligence could be compared to and Raven decides to go with her and Sinclair's plan to save her life.

Raven sets herself up in a tank of icy water and Sinclair goes over Raven's plan to restart her heart once enough time has passed and is impressed by her simple, yet effective solution to the problem. Though Becca argues that the plan is a waste of Raven's talent, she ignores her. Sinclair warns Raven that with her heart murmur, Raven may go into cardiac arrest and have to shock herself again with the defibrillator once she is revived to solve the problem. Though Sinclair expresses concerns about her life instinct preventing the plan from going through, Raven assures him that she is ready to die to really live. Sinclair tells Raven that if she succeeds, they will both be gone once she wakes up, but Raven states that Sinclair is always with her and thanks him. Sinclair tells Raven that she did it herself, not Sinclair and not Becca and that it had been in Raven all along. As Raven submerges herself and flatlines, Sinclair holds his hand up to hers on the tank. Once Raven's heart stops, Sinclair and Becca walk away.

After Raven is revived, both Sinclair and Becca are gone for good, the plan to purge the remnants of A.L.I.E.'s code having succeeded.

In ***Nevermind***, Clarke experiences a flashback of Sinclair freeing Raven from A.L.I.E.'s control using an EMP after the hallucination of the AI in her mind reminds her that the same technique can be used to destroy Clarke's neural mesh if Josephine Lightbourne gets her hands on the memory.

In ***False Gods***, while trying to fix Sanctum's nuclear reactor, James Crockett states that Sinclair was his mentor and a genius at jury-rigging the Ark's reactor. As a result, James thinks he can fix Sanctum's reactor in his sleep. However, he accidentally causes the reactor to begin to meltdown instead, killing him in the process.
