I'll Never Give Up Hope

Everyone has forgotten Hope, including Landon, who is purposely killing and reviving himself to try to remember, while also trying to find a spell to change Rafael back to human. MG spends the summer with Kaleb's family in Atlanta, developing an attraction to Kaleb's sister, Kym. Lizzie is in Europe with Caroline, trying to get help for her mental health. Josie stays behind to keep Alaric company, as he is no longer headmaster, and to find out more about the Merge. Josie and Landon grow closer as they spend time together. Hope is stuck inside Malivore with Clarke. As Hope is not a fully activated tribrid (she has yet to die and become a vampire), she failed to completely end Malivore, and Malivore wants Hope out of its system. Clarke tries to leave with her, but Malivore will not allow it. Hope leaves Clarke behind and makes it out of Malivore. She finds Landon kissing Josie and leaves the school, but is then confronted by a monster. Clarke vows to kill Hope, and Malivore releases Clarke. A Red Hooded figure goes into the cemetery and conjures the Triad Symbol on a grave.
