They thought the last of the wristbands was gone, so didn't think the plan would be feasible any more.

So I just watched the trailer for the next episode. It seems like someone at The 100 must have been on a horror movie binge, because after getting The Exorcist this week, it looks like we're getting a slasher movie next week.

The characters clearly have some off-screen conversations in this episode to fill each other in on what's happened so far. I guess Clarke's relationship with Lexa came up at some point.

They do have a bit of similarity in their faces. Which has me imagining a hilarious scene where Clarke gets a sickened look on her face and says, "Oh God, I slept with Femme!Murphy."

Pike, at least, is on record as thinking that giving Finn to the Grounders for punishment was a bad thing.

It's a super-advanced artificial intelligence that integrates with human consciousness; it being able to download a person's memories and personality doesn't seem unreasonable.

The pilot had Jasper and Monty mention that they were locked up on the Ark because "sumac isn't the only herb in the garden" and they got caught stealing some.

I think you need to remember that Clarke has a much worse opinion of herself than the fans do. She tried calling him out for his behavior earlier in the season, but when he brought up her actions at TonDC and Mount Weather, and how she ran away afterwards, it completely deflated her. She's not going to show righteous…

That would require there to be something she could say that would make them have a worse opinion of Murphy than they already do. That's quite the challenge.

TonDC clearly mattered a lot to Octavia, who really soured on Clarke from that episode going forward.

In the second episode of the season, some of the characters went looking for Clarke, and got a lead from Niylah at the trading post. Hannah (Monty's mom) was with them at the time, so she'd presumably recognize Niylah and her surroundings.

"Murphy wouldn't have cracked under Raven/A.L.I.E. mental takedowns."

The Men Who Stare at Goats?

I felt really bad for Monty. Even if his mom was horrible, I thought it was pretty clear in their scenes together that their personal feelings for each other were genuine.

I was kinda worried Niylah was gonna be killed, since that happens to most every recurring character on this show, and the fandom pot would be stirred up to a raging boil again. Pardon the mixed metaphor.

I loved that look Alie gave while Raven was laying into Jasper, like even the unfeeling computer intelligence is surprised at how harsh it was.

Nah, we've seen her bleed, and it wasn't delicious dark chocalate sauce coming out of her.

Hey, Hannah was one of Pike's "Grounder killers" who were apparently fighting the Ice Nation while on the run for five months straight. I assume she's got some skills, too.

The horns and smoke signaling the death of a Commander and the ascension of the next went off two episodes ago. Presumably those could be seen/heard from Arkadia, and all it takes is one Grounder in the City of Light to let Alie know what that means. And if she knows Lexa is dead, it's not unreasonable guess that…

I think it could also have worked better if a) Arkadia knew that all the Clans' ambassadors had denounced them and were backing a coup to dethrone Lexa, or b) Skaikru joining the coalition meant they were expected to obey the same no-guns rule as the other Grounders, and some of them naturally freak out that a…
