Okay so first off, let's talk about the overall plan of attack and then I can talk about each group one-by-one. So the leaders of the Ark and the Grounders met up in front of the main door to Mt Weather to discuss the overall plan (for the audience lol). They broke up into three groups: Raven and Wick who were in charge of shutting down power at the dam, Octavia and Indra with a bunch of grounders who were in charge of keeping the Reapers distracted and entering the base to save everyone and Clarke, Lexa, Lincoln and the rest of the army at the front door to distract Mt Weather from the Octavia's group. Bellamy was working to release the grounders on the inside and protect the 44. Sounds like a great plan right? That's why I thought before, you know, the ending.
Up first, let's talk about Raven and Wick. They were in charge of destroying the dam and apparently they had five bombs for all five parts of the dam (sorry I totally forgot the name of what they were blowing up) but Wick broke one so they only had four. They had a little bit of trouble with there being more security at the dam than expected and so what should have been a secret plan ended up being relayed to Cage at Mt Weather (which was annoying). They managed to blow up four of the machines and ended up frying the last one because it couldn't handle holding all of Mt Weather's electricity. I was terrified that one of them could be killed but after the blast it looked like both were okay although very injured and Raven's leg brace broke so she couldn't walk. Their last scene ended with a bunch of Mt Weather people coming in to shoot them and I was dying. I hate these kind of cliffhangers!!! Raven cannot die. Oh and there was relationship drama where Wick was acting like a baby for Raven using him as a one-time thing which luckily was fast because they don't have time for relationship stuff when everyone was counting on them. Wick also had his first kill which was so weird because by now we all expect the 100 to be super violent and everyone's already killed already so Wick's reaction was jarring which quickly led to sympathy.
Up next is Octavia and Indra and their mission. They entered the tunnels through which the reapers go through and were attacked by some reapers. Luckily the tone-generator that Raven built worked perfectly and they were able to sedate the reapers instead of having to kill them. This scene was kind of hard to watch because it was so dark that I couldn't really tell what was happening. I know I know. That's supposed to be realistic but honestly I'd rather see what's happening. Indra told Octavia that she was officially welcomed into the Tree People which was so sweet but by the end of the episode she was back to being a Sky person and Octavia stated that she has no home. I hope when she finds out what happened, she'll have a little more sympathy for Clarke and decide not to hate her anymore.
Bellamy had a lot of trouble because as Cage figured out what was happening, he started to kill people to find the 44 which was ironic because he had stated earlier that the 44 were killing the Mt Weather people. He released the grounders and started to send the 44 to the harvest room but ended up stuck when he was looking for Monty because they found out from Monty that the other 44 were taken from the harvest room and brought to level 5 where all the Mt Weather soldiers were. Poor Monty hid when the others were attacked and he was feeling guilty but honestly it's better that he stayed back not only because I love him but also because Bellamy, Jasper and Maya needed to know what was happening. Speaking of Jasper and Maya, they had a conversation about their future because since Maya never got a bone marrow treatment, she will die outside of the base so when the Grounders and the Sky People attack the base, she'll probably die. Jasper didn't seem to be very worried though but as much as I love the two of them, I don't really see any way that they'll survive together.
Cage was busy this episode trying to "save" his people but he couldn't figure out a way to do anything so he went to Dante who at first was hesitant to say anything but was eventually convinced to help out. Because of Dante, the entire plan was shot apart and Cage captured several more of the Sky People for bone marrow treatments. I don't understand Dante because although he refuses to take the treatments, he helps destroy the "enemy" and allows Cage to continue to capture more of the Ark people. It's annoying and I really hope someone kills him in the next episode.
And now for the main part of the episode which followed Clarke, Lexa and Lincoln. Everything was going according to plan until they started being shot at while they were trying to open the door. Unfortunately they only had a total of a minute to get the door open. As the clock counted down, Lincoln decided to shoot the device at the door and it opened just in the nick of time. Clarke and Lexa decided to split up so Lexa could take a few Grounders and go kill the Mt Weather soldiers who were shooting at them while Clarke and Lincoln led the army at the front door. Lexa shared a small moment with Clarke when she asked Lincoln to watch out for Clarke and headed off. As Clarke was about to give the order to attack, Lexa stopped her and the army. It turned out Lexa made a deal with the Mountain men to leave if they gave her the grounders inside which they ended up doing and Lexa led the army away. Oddly enough all of the Ark people and Lincoln left with them so it was just Clarke and Octavia, who also heard the horn but decided to disregard Indra's wishes, staying.
I can't even explain how irritated I was at Lexa. I kept expecting her to die at the end of the finale because she made this big speech to Clarke about going to the capital with her but instead this happened. Lexa claimed that Clarke would do the same thing if she was in Lexa's spot but I highly doubt Clarke would place the safety of her people over the Grounders too. I don't see how Clarke could forgive Lexa after this betrayal which Lexa must have known and decided wasn't important enough. It makes me worried to think about how the 44 will be saved now. There aren't enough Ark people outside to help and now that the entire plan has been destroyed, I'm hoping Octavia and Clarke will find each other and sneak in together to kill off the Mountain men one-by-one, possibly with the help of Bellamy, Monty and Maya.
So as you can tell, I really really enjoyed this episode. The twist at the end practically gave me a heart attack but in a good way and I would definitely give this episode an A! The 100 gives me so much anxiety and I'm way too invested in a bunch of fictional characters but hey, that's what makes good tv right?
