[Warning: The next accommodates spoilers for Wednesday’s episode of The 100. Learn at your individual threat.]
The 100 has by no means been afraid to kill off main characters, and provided that that is the ultimate season, we at all times assumed a few of our faves could be misplaced alongside the best way. We simply by no means thought it will Bellamy (Bob Morley), and we by no means thought it will be so quickly!
This week’s episode, titled, “Welcome to Bardo,” crammed in a whole lot of blanks about this new civilization that calls themselves the Disciples. By way of a sequence of flashbacks from Octavia’s (Marie Avgeropoulos) time on Bardo when she was first captured — after which once more after Hope (Shelby Flannery) stabbed her — we found the Disciples have reminiscence expertise that picks by means of your mind, which is how they know a lot about all of our heroes with out ever assembly him. Because of Octavia’s recollections, they’ve turn into mysteriously fixated on Clarke (Eliza Taylor), who they name “the important thing” to successful the final warfare mankind will ever wage.
We additionally realized that they did not create the Anomaly Stones and that they weren’t descendants of the lacking Eligius III crew. An alien race that they name the Bardoans constructed the stones (and almost definitely the wormholes between planets), and the one factor left of this historic civilization is their indoor forests and their crystallized stays. Much more fascinating, it appears just like the Disciples had been initially from Earth, if Gabriel’s idea about there being an Anomaly Stone on their former planet is true. Our Second Dawn theory is wanting an increasing number of doable by the second!

So far as reveals go although, these all pale compared to the episode’s greatest shocker, which was Bellamy’s destiny after being kidnapped.
After Octavia returned to Bardo for extra interrogation, Anders (Neal McDonough) referred to as her to the bridge room to speak her brother down. Apparently, after touring by means of the wormhole to Bardo, Bellamy obtained the drop on his guards and was holding one in every of them hostage. Octavia agreed to inform Anders all the pieces she knew about Clarke if he despatched Bellamy again to Sanctum, and Anders appeared to comply with her phrases. Nevertheless, simply after the bridge opened, one of many Disciples Bellamy had attacked detonated a grenade, blowing all the pieces in his fast neighborhood to hell — together with Bellamy.
So is that this actually the top of Bellamy Blake’s story? We’re not so positive.
Whereas there was loads of blood spattered on Octavia’s face (implying that somebody positively obtained exploded), that does not essentially imply that Bellamy is the one who died. The Disciple holding the grenade is unquestionably carried out for, however Bellamy may have been blasted proper by means of the open portal. He may have even jumped in himself when he realized what the Disciple was planning. Bellamy’s fairly fast on his ft in spite of everything these years in life or demise conditions.
Everything We Know About The 100 Season 7
Extra importantly, this does not really feel like the best way The 100 would kill off one in every of its most necessary characters, if that is genuinely what was occurring right here. Particularly in current seasons, when main characters die, there’s a sure buildup and emotional weight given to their closing moments. Not solely have we not seen Bellamy for many of Season 7, however this scene did not really feel just like the hero’s ending he’d get if he ever really kicked the bucket. If Bellamy goes out, it is after one final superb character arc the place he sacrifices himself for the nice of the numerous, with tearful goodbyes and a brilliant emotional cowl of Ben Howard’s “Promise” taking part in faintly within the background. This felt extra like a “whoopsie, be careful for that grenade” cliffhanger that is meant to mislead us.
Does this all sound like an enormous case of denial? Positive. Can we care even slightly bit? Nope.
Sadly, there is no concrete proof that Bellamy may very well be alive, which means Octavia believes he is lifeless — and so do Echo (Tasya Teles), Gabriel (Chuku Modu), and Hope, who witnessed the scene in her recollections. And boy, did Echo not take it nicely. It is wanting much less and fewer like anybody goes to flee Bardo, so it is likely to be as much as Clarke and the gang to search out their option to Bardo and reach their very own rescue mission. This is hoping they discover Bellamy alive and nicely and able to kick some Disciple butt for attempting to do him in.
The 100 airs Wednesdays at 8/7c on The CW.
