Abby, Raven, & Murphy made a big discovery on The 100. (CW/The 100)

, Season 4 Episode 4 (“A Lie Guarded”), Abby and Raven’s group ventured to Becca’s abandoned laboratory, where they found something that might look 

familiar to you. We’re going to reveal what they found (or at least, what it looked like) in this story and why you might feel like you’ve seen this somewhere before. But a warning: This post will have spoilers through “A Lie Guarded.”

Near the end of “A Lie Guarded,” after fighting off drones and convincing Luna not to run away, Abby and Raven’s group finally found what they had been searching for: Becca’s abandoned lab. This lab may house the key to the creation of nightsblood and saving everyone.

The scene we’re talking about occurred near the end, when Abby & company finally got to see Becca’s lab. Once they ventured inside, it was almost like heaven on Earth to them. Here’s Raven’s reaction:

But the outside of the lab looks like a building that’s been in the front and center of news coverage lately, especially as people become concerned doomsday and post-apocalyptic topics. You see, the building looked

The inside of Becca’s lab really does remind us of her ship a lot. But as for the outside… Well, it actually 

like something we’ve seen before: Norway’s doomsday seed vault. But as one astute viewer noted:

Why does that look like the Svalbard vault? Theyre in Virgina…not Norway #The100

Because of location issues, this likely isn’t supposed to be the actual Seed Vault from Norway, but was inspired by it. In fact,

Obviously the entrance to Becca\'s Lab was inspired by the Svalbard Global Seed Vault. #The100

Showing us this lab was a fascinating way to help close out the episode. In fact, every episode so far this season has been amazing. Fans are still raving about last week’s Season 4 Episode 3 and the in-depth character development viewers have been seeing.
