You don't have to hate Dax. Hating Dax is a personal opinion. Personally, I found his story line needed. He brought the two leaders closer and showed that these Delinquents are still in fact Delinquents.

Back in Murphy's Law she probably didn't know Dax or even his crime. I imagine some of the Delinquents would have kept their crimes a secret or even lied about them. If Clarke would have known Dax to be a killer, she wouldn't have let him go around camp freely.

Also, Dax was going to kill Bellamy for selfish reasons. He wasn't doing it to protect someone. He was doing it to #1 see his mother get on the first dropship and #2 to get a better rank in the society the Arkers would bring down. The most likely scenario is that Shumway never planned to give Dax what he wanted. Sure he might have put Dax's mother on the first dropship, but once Shumway got down to the ground, he most likely intended to kill Dax. Cleaning up loose ends and all that. Shumway did the same thing to Bellamy, there is no reason he wouldn't do the same to Dax.

If anything I sort of pity Dax.
