Over the course of its seven-season run, The 100 has by no means been afraid to kill off main characters, and we at all times type of anticipated a minimum of one in all our faves would kick the bucket within the closing season. We simply by no means thought it might be Bellamy Blake (Bob Morley), and we definitely by no means thought it might be so quickly!
We’re not completely positive he is misplaced to us, however issues are wanting fairly bleak for the time being.
Episode 5, “Welcome to Bardo,” stuffed in a number of blanks about this season’s new civilization that calls themselves the Disciples. By way of a collection 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 know-how that picks by way of your mind, which is how they know a lot about all of our heroes with out ever assembly him. Due to Octavia’s reminiscences, they’ve develop into mysteriously fixated on Clarke (Eliza Taylor), who they name “the important thing” to successful the final conflict mankind will ever wage.

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 way of the wormhole to Bardo, Bellamy acquired the drop on his guards and was holding one in all them hostage. Octavia agreed to inform Anders every little thing 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 every little thing in his rapid neighborhood to hell — together with Bellamy.
So is that this actually the tip of Bellamy Blake’s story? We’re not so positive.
Whereas there was loads of blood spattered on Octavia’s face (implying that somebody undoubtedly exploded), that does not essentially imply that Bellamy is the one who died. The Disciple holding the grenade is unquestionably performed for, however Bellamy may have been blasted proper by way 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 of life or loss of life 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 all 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 actually kicked the bucket. If Bellamy goes out, it is after one final superb 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” 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 a large case of denial? Certain. Will we care even slightly bit? Nope.
Sadly, there is no concrete proof that Bellamy might 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 reminiscences. And boy, did Echo not take it properly. It is wanting much less and fewer like anybody goes to flee Bardo, however this is hoping wherever the story leads our heroes, they discover Bellamy alive and properly alongside the best way.
The 100 airs Wednesdays at 8/7c on The CW.
