The 100 2x13: Resurrection

Previously on The 100: With Bellamy’s help, Jasper incited a riot inside Mt. Weather, and on the outside, Clarke ran away with Lexa while A MISSILE hit Tondc and we wished for a Malfoy romcom.

I might just be tired, but I nearly cried like three times during this episode. And I gasped out loud at a couple of others. THIS SHOW, you guys.

In the forest outside Tondc:

In a scene that feels like a post-apocalyptic dream, Clarke looks around at the destruction. A horse, with its mane on fire, runs past her. A woman holding her own severed arm stumbles onto the path. Clarke makes like she’s going to head toward the village, but Lexa stops her and talks her into continuing to hide or Mt. Weather will send another missile to take them out.

In the village:

Abby tries to help the injured villagers. Lincoln finds Indra pinned under rubble, and pulls her free, regardless of her apparent dislike. She pushes him away, and then gets hit with a bullet. Because the people of Tondc haven’t already been through enough, the Mt. Weather spotter in the forest starts to use his sniper rifle to take out who’s left. Octavia tries to get some Grounders to help, but they’re having none of it, because Octavia and her kind “are the bringers of death.” (Harsh, but dude’s got a bit of a point.) Lincoln and Octavia get the injured Indra to Niko, and Indra tells O to man woman up and lead. Abby hears a clanging underground, which happens to be Kane, pinned under an i-beam.

In Mt. Weather:

Speaking of manning up, Jasper tells the remaining 47 (43? 42?) to grab weapons and barricade the dorm. He tells one of the girls, Fox, to smash the cameras in the hallway, but Monty stops him, saying that they’ll need eyes out there. When Jasper questions Monty’s ability, Monty’s like, pshaw. And then the two self-five (which was by far the cutest thing in a very not so cute episode).

Mt. Weather guards attack the dorms, and when they break through the barricades, they find the kids all prone on the floor. But, SURPRISE BISHES—the kids go on the offensive and attack the guards in return, starting with Jasper slashing through a dude’s leg with a fire axe.

Yeah, that happened.

The guards retreat, but grab Fox on the way out. Jasper is PISSED, and when he notices that one of the guards left behind is still alive, takes it out on him. With his fire axe.

Yeah, that happened, too.

In Tondc:

Abby finds Kane, and tries to free him, but isn’t quite strong enough to lift the beam from his leg. When she does finally pry it up some, she finds that the beam is the only thing keeping him alive; it’s pinning his ruptured femoral artery. To add insult to (literal) injury, the rubble above them shifts and a cave in covers them both in debris.

In Mt. Weather:

The guards drag Fox toward the procedure table, but before they can strap her in, a mysterious masked guard shoots them both. It’s Bellamy, saving the day once more. Maya takes Fox and Bellamy to her home, where they meet her father … who just so happens is a bit of a revolutionary. Maya hides Fox in her room, and then takes Bellamy toward the armory. The two figure out a plan to use the garbage chutes to get the weapons to the dorms.

The two split up, and President A.J. Cage finds Maya in the hall. Because he’s a huge dick, he forces her into a suit with 20 minutes of oxygen and tosses her into the irradiated hall outside of the dorm. He tells Jasper that unless they give themselves up, she dies.

In Tondc:

Octavia tries to get to the crater to start digging people out of the rubble, but the sniper keeps stopping her. She creates a diversion with some booze and fire, and the Grounders are significantly impressed. They make a break for the crater, and begin to tunnel inside.

Below ground, thanks to the cave-in, Abby is now pinned to and Kane’s doing worse. Kane tells her it’s not her fault, but Abby blames herself for Clarke’s decision, and explains to Kane about how Clarke knew about the missile. Surprisingly—to Abby, not really to me—Kane gets it, and tells Abby that Clarke’s decision wasn’t worse than the many they made while on the Ark. Abby gives in a little, but it’s still pretty obvious that she’s upset about the way her kid is acting.

In Mt. Weather:

Jasper pulls Maya into the dorm, and promises her that he won’t let her die. Monty and Miller try to pry open the garbage chute to get Maya to another level, but have difficulty … until Bellamy adds his considerable strength from the other side. Maya jumps into the shoot, followed by Jasper. After Maya’s safe, Bellamy tells Jasper about Clarke and the Grounders’ plan to attack. Jasper says something about Finn finally getting his peace talks, and Bellamy has to just go along with it for the time being. (I’d completely forgotten that the 47 don’t know Finn’s dead.)

In the forest:

Clarke and Lexa meet up with Lincoln in the forest, on their way to take out the sniper. The three try to take him by surprise, but he spots them and pulls his focus away from the village. Clarke creates a diversion by shooting back, and Lincoln attacks. Lincoln’s about to win when the sniper uses the tone device on him, causing Lincoln to get a serious headache. The sniper uses this distraction to his advantage, and holds a knife to Lincoln’s throat. Lincoln tells Clarke to kill him and then take out the sniper, but Clarke’s become a very good shot and shoots through Lincoln’s shoulder and into the guard’s heart.

In Mt. Weather:

The guards enter the dorms yet again, but find no one there. The kids, led by Bellamy, Jasper and Maya, have gone through the garbage chute. Bellamy leads them down a corridor, where they find Maya’s dad and a bunch of other Mountain People who disagree with the way Cage is running things. They’ll hide the kids for a while.

In Tondc:

A group of Sky People arrive in the village with supplies and offers of help. Together, they and the Grounders free Abby and Kane, and others trapped under the rubble.

Lincoln, Clarke and Lexa return to the village, and Lexa gives a rousing speech, but one that is soon kiboshed by Abby, who tells everyone to get back to work. Amazingly, everyone listens. (Perhaps because of the shock?)

Indra makes nice with Lincoln, even going so far as to give him a hug. And Abby and Clarke find a semblance of peace; when Clarke tells her she’s going to Mt. Weather to save her friends, Abby agrees, but reminds her not to forget that they’re the good guys.

Mt. Weather 101:

Not all of the Mountain People tow the company line, and I LOVE IT. It adds so much depth to them as a group to know that they’re not all just sheep who follow Cage blindly.

Death Toll: A lot

Multiple Grounders—from the missile blast and the sniper—at least a few Sky People who were in Tondc, at least 12 Mt. Weather guards, at least two of the 47 in Mt. Weather, and 1 sniper.

That’s what happens in war, I suppose.

Say What:

Clarke is SO DONE with Mt. Weather’s shizz.

Lexa: If he tells the Mountain we’re alive ...
Clarke: He won’t.
Lexa: How can you be sure?
Clarke: Because I’m gonna kill him.

When all is a little more peaceful, I hope Monty and Jasper get a radio show.

Jasper: You can do that?
Monty: Have you met me?

Also, I am so much more on board with Maya now.

Jasper: I won’t let you die.
Maya: I won’t let you surrender.

YES, Clarke. Thank you.

Lincoln: Your people need you.
Clarke: You are my people.

Burning Questions:

- That hug at the end between Indra and Lincoln—was there more to that than just thanks? Perhaps something maternal? (This question was inspired by a convo I had on Twitter with FYA contributor Kandis after the episode.)

- How will the 47(ish) repay the Mountain People who hid them? Do you think Abby will figure out a way to use the bone marrow without killing people?

- Do you think Octavia figured out that Clarke knew about the missile before it hit?

Let’s discuss below.
