Life Was So Much Easier When I Only Cared About Myself

Josie returns to school on her and Lizzie's 17th birthday, revealing she plans to have them merge. Vardemus and Alaric plan to trap Josie inside the simulation again, but Hope, Kaleb and MG trap him inside instead. The group plans to create a safe location inside Lizzie's mind for Josie's mind to go, meaning Lizzie has to beat Josie. Josie kills Alyssa, who is attempting to help Lizzie prepare for the Merge. Hope locks Kaleb in the simulation after he threatens to kill Josie. There, he meets Alaric, who says he needs an elixir for his daughters. He soon becomes self-aware and is able to get the two of them out. MG locates Lizzie at a gas station and convinces her to go back. Hope asks Landon for a favor. When Lizzie does not appear, Hope fights in her place. Hope attempts to bring back Josie while fighting. Lizzie turns up and they begin the Merge, with Josie winning. Lizzie's life has been linked to Landon's, and so Lizzie comes back to life when Landon does, and they send Hope inside Josie's mind to retrieve her. Rafael discovers he was killed and reanimated by the Necromancer and kills Landon with a golden arrow.
