[Warning: The next accommodates spoilers for The 100 Season 7 Episode 5. Learn at your personal danger.]
The 100 has by no means been afraid to kill off main characters, and we all the time anticipated a number of of our faves to fall within the last season. We simply by no means thought Bellamy Blake (Bob Morley) can be the primary to go, and we by no means thought it might be so quickly!
We’re not completely certain he is misplaced to us, however he actually appears to have kicked the bucket in The 100‘s most up-to-date episode.
Episode 5, “Welcome to Bardo,” stuffed in lots of blanks about this new civilization that calls themselves the Disciples. By 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 via your mind, which is how they know a lot about all of our heroes with out ever assembly him. Because of Octavia’s reminiscences, they’ve turn out to be mysteriously fixated on Clarke (Eliza Taylor), who they name “the important thing” to successful the final warfare mankind will ever wage.
We additionally discovered 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 most certainly 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 increasingly doable by the second!

So far as reveals go although, these all pale compared to the episode’s largest 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 via the wormhole to Bardo, Bellamy bought the drop on his guards and was holding considered one of them hostage. Octavia agreed to inform Anders the whole lot she knew about Clarke if he despatched Bellamy again to Sanctum, and Anders appeared to conform to her phrases. Nonetheless, simply after the bridge opened, one of many Disciples Bellamy had attacked detonated a grenade, blowing the whole lot in his quick neighborhood to hell — together with Bellamy.
So is that this actually the top of Bellamy Blake’s story? We’re not so certain.
Whereas there was loads of blood spattered on Octavia’s face (implying that somebody undoubtedly bought exploded), that does not essentially imply that Bellamy is the one who died. The Disciple holding the grenade is unquestionably finished for, however Bellamy might have been blasted proper via the open portal. He might have even jumped in himself when he realized what the Disciple was planning. Bellamy’s fairly fast on his toes in spite of everything these years in life or dying 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 considered one of its most vital characters, if that is genuinely what was taking place right here. Particularly in current seasons, when main characters die, there’s a sure buildup and emotional weight given to their last 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 wonderful character arc the place he sacrifices himself for the great of the numerous, with tearful goodbyes and a brilliant emotional cowl of Ben Howard’s “Promise” enjoying 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? Certain. Will we care even a little bit bit? Nope.
Sadly, there isn’t any concrete proof that Bellamy may very well be alive, that means Octavia believes he is lifeless — and so do Echo (Tasya Teles), Gabriel (Chuku Modu), and Hope, who witnessed the scene in her reminiscences. And boy, did Echo not take it properly. 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 seek out their strategy to Bardo and achieve their very own rescue mission. This is hoping they discover Bellamy alive and properly and able to kick some Disciple butt for making an attempt to do him in.
The 100 airs Wednesdays at 8/7c on The CW.
