THIS WEEK ON THE 100
Pike and his crew of g-d idiots return from slaughtering the Grounder army, whose bodies Clarke and Lexa discover with horror. Thankfully, Indra is still alive, but only because Bellamy convinced Pike to let her deliver a message: “Skaikru rejects the coalition. This is their land now. We can leave or we can die.” DIPLOMACY! Lexa calls on her armies, but Clarke asks for a chance to fix it. Unfortunately, she’s not aware of Pike’s Third Reich new reign, which involves kicking Grounders out of the medical ward and imprisoning Lincoln. Indra sets up a meeting with Kane, who sends Octavia, who then smuggles Clarke into Arkadia to meet with Bellamy, who TAKES HER PRISONER BECAUSE WHAT FRESH HELL IS THIS. But oh snap, Clarke tazes Bellamy, and she and Octavia escape back to the Grounder camp, where Clarke begs Lexa to end the cycle of violence… and she agrees?
Meanwhile in the storyline that no one cares about, Jaha, ALL-E and Emori’s brother arrive at Arkadia, but due to the No Grounder Policy, the latter gets stabbed to death. Them’s the breaks! Jaha officially becomes Arkadia’s first and only Street Preacher, and his main target is, of course, the most vulnerable: Raven, who’s in mega pain thanks to her leg. She eventually takes the blue pill, and suddenly, her leg is healed and she sees… ALL-E. Well, shizz.
At least Malfoy (aka Murphy) is still alive! He and his girl Emori are running a nice Robin Hood-style racket on the roads that involves Malfoy playing dead. But a crew of particularly nasty Grounders doesn’t fall for it, and they take him hostage in order to find out how that magic blue pill with the “sacred symbol” came into his possession.
💯 MOMENTS
- Bellamy putting on that jacket, flexing those guns. WERK.
- Malfoy and Emori K-I-S-S-I-N-G.
- RAVEN YOU’RE BACK! (Let’s just ignore the fact that your arc is looking reeeeeal victim-y.)
- Bellamy and Clarke. Alone in a room. Sharing lots of feels. AND GRASPING HANDS. (Let’s just ignore the fact that Bellamy handcuffed Clarke a second later. And not in a hot sexual way.)
HOLY SH*T X 100
- BELLAMY HANDCUFFED CLARKE. OH NO HE DIDN’T.
- CLARKE TAZED BELLAMY. OH YES SHE DID.
- That field of dead Grounders. Yikes.
ARKADIAN OF THE WEEK
I don’t want to say that Octavia won by default, because she was awesome and totally on the right side of things, but there was a serious lack of competition this week because EVERYONE ELSE SUCKED.
SAY WHAT
“I was born for this.” – Octavia, as she heads into an underground tunnel. That’s what we call ON THE NOSE.
“We went too far.” – Bellamy to Pike. YA THINK?
“You can still be useful.” – Abby, not displaying her best bedside manner to Raven. OUCH.
“Everything’s different.” – Octavia, a.k.a the official mouthpiece of the writers’ room.
“This isn’t who you are.” – Clarke. “You’re wrong. This is who I’ve always been.” – Bellamy, serving up an unwelcome reminder of Season 1.
“I need the guy who wouldn’t let me pull that lever in Mt. Weather by myself.” – Clarke, totally rom-coming a horrible act.
“May we meet again.” – Abbey, quoting her daughter to her daughter. It’s like, Mom, seriously, that’s so one season ago.
“Blood must not have blood” – Lexa, CHANGING IT UP.
BURNING QUESTIONS
- At the risk of engulfing the comments section in flames, does Pike remind anyone else of… Donald Trump?
- So Clarke asks Indra to use the radio to signal Kane, but she’s like, dying? RUDE.
- Why is everyone like, “Oh, hey! Jaha! You’re back! That’s cool! NBD!” and not like, “DUDE, HOW ARE YOU ALIVE?”
- What did Miller give to Lincoln in jail?
- What is Bellamy thinking, re: handcuffing Clarke? Like, what does he think he’s accomplishing? I’m asking in all seriousness because I DO NOT UNDERSTAND.
- Is anyone else worried about Raven’s storyline? I really don’t want her to end up like the star of an after school special.
