【Taming The Younger Sister-in-Law Origin [Uncut]】

The Taming The Younger Sister-in-Law Origin [Uncut]100 has spent three seasons exploring existence on a post-apocalyptic Earth, but with a nuclear meltdown imminent, things are about to get a whole lot messier in Season 4. (We're just crossing our fingers that life doesn't start imitating art.)

"We're picking up directly where we left off," star Eliza Taylor told reporters on a recent visit to the show's Vancouver set. "We've obviously just discovered that the world's going to end, again, which is great -- just another day on the ground. This whole season's mostly based around how we're going to deal with fighting an enemy that we can’t go to war with. So it's going to prove very interesting."

As revealed in the Season 3 finale, abandoned nuclear plants are releasing increasing levels of radiation around the globe, which will make the Earth uninhabitable in a few months, and it's up to Clarke (Taylor), Bellamy (Bob Morley), Octavia (Marie Avgeropoulos) and their band of scrappy survivors to figure out how to avert another apocalypse.

Of course, they also have learn how to trust each other again after a rogue Artificial Intelligence program named ALIE brainwashed most of the population via microchip last season, making them believe that they could live forever in a digital utopia called the City of Light.

According to Morley, "Not everyone knows about the six months impending doom -- only me and Clarke -- and that's the biggest threat at the forefront. Obviously, there are still a lot of questions to be answered in Polis. Everyone is coming down off the chip high, so there's the fallout from that that people have to deal with."

ALIE brought together a number of disparate Grounder clans last season while she had them under her thrall, and Morley noted that the rival factions don't necessarily trust each other either now that they're back in control of their faculties, which could make for a political quagmire.

"Not all clans get along, so there's that immediate place of waking up and being like, 'There's a whole bunch of people I don't know or get along with.' How do you confront that situation? That's something that comes about," he previewed. "But obviously, the impending doom is one of those things that you have to get onto pretty quickly, otherwise it will just get out of hand. That's the pressing factor."

Taylor admitted that Clarke isn't in a rush to tell Earth's remaining survivors about their imminent demise: "It's something that she has to be really careful about because obviously she's just taken all these people out of a beautiful city that they were happy [in] and brought them back into a world that's about to end. So she has to be very careful about how she goes about telling people without starting a riot, basically."

As the season progresses and the truth comes out, Morley explained that each of our characters will approach the prospective end of the world in a different way.

"We all have to figure out how to address that; whether you decide to find a way to get through it or find solutions to live through it, or whether you start making a bucket list and just decide to let it wash over you in a literal sense," he said. "There's that existential dilemma of whether we deserve to survive, or should we live the rest of our lives hedonistically with whatever we have left? That's definitely the clock that is ticking throughout the season."

After several seasons of Clarke striking out on her own, Skaikru fans will be pleased to learn that she'll be back among her fellow Arkers more frequently in Season 4.

"I think you will see more of her relying on her friends and family, which is good because (a) Eliza missed working with them and (b) it's kind of like the old crew being back together again," Taylor told reporters, noting that, "it feels like season 1 again, which is awesome."

As for Clarke's relationship with Bellamy, Taylor teased, "I think they're on the same team again, which is really cool and you saw that at the end of Season 3. They're a real team and I really like the way their storyline is going. There's a lot of mutual respect and they're sharing the leadership role."

Morley agreed, "Them teaming back up at the end of Season 3 is indicative of where [we] will take off from there. They're obviously going to go on their own journeys and they're going to have their own issues that they have to deal with and demons they have to fight. But for the most part in the beginning there is that unity again. But everything that's peaceful is short-lived on this show."

Whether that could mean anything romantic between Clarke and Bellamy down the line, the actors were tight-lipped, especially since Clarke is still reeling from the devastating loss of her lover, Lexa (Alycia Debnam-Carey), last season.

"I think it's great that people are so passionate about this show and about these two characters in particular. It doesn't necessarily affect me or Eliza when we're performing," Morley said of the fan fervor surrounding Clarke and Bellamy. "We get our scripts and that's what we do. No one's really pushing an agenda. That's not something that crops up in conversations when we're doing the job. We have what's on the page and you try and do it as truthfully as you can. If that's where Jason [Rothenberg] and the writing team will take it, that's their decision. It's not really something that's up to Eliza or I. If people want to ship it, I'm not going to stop them. If they feel passionately about it, that's great."

Taylor agreed that talk of romance isn't really on Clarke's radar so far this season: "There's just so much else going on that she doesn't really have time for relationships right now. I think she's grieving for Lexa. But at the same time she's open to moving on, I guess. I don't know. I really want her to get it on with someone. I think it would be great. But they don't tell me if that's happening."

The 100 airs Wednesdays at 9 p.m. on The CW.
