Throughout the whole episode, every scene with Ontari and Murphy made me extremely uncomfortable. I have no clue what’s happening with Murphy anymore; I can’t recognize him anymore. I don’t understand his motives and I don’t know where that character’s plot is going. Ontari is like any villain. She makes me cringe but at the same time, we saw some vulnerability in her this episode which is interesting. But that last scene with them, in her bedroom, left me so confuse. That girl can’t keep her clothes on.

I don’t see why people are so against Octavia beating up Bellamy. As much as I loved Bellamy, the boy deserved it and saw it coming. I personally felt a bit relief when the scene happened. We all knew that it was going to happen. In that scene, both Octavia and Bellamy showed so much emotion and it was raw. I did not want Bellamy to die but seeing Bellamy accepting every punch made my heart hurt a bit.

Can I just point out Lindsey’s amazing performance in this episode? Despite the shocking scene where ALIE slits Raven’s wrists, I was glad to see Raven a bit in the spotlight once again. ALIE’s scene in Raven’s body surprised me and I wasn’t expecting that. I feel like it was too intense for the 100. Although I wouldn’t call it suicide or self-harm, I can understand how it might have triggered something in some viewers and I do believe the producers should have taken that in consideration.

I loved what they did with Jasper though. Seeing him back into action and making his own damn decisions made me happy. I really hope they’ll concentrate a bit more on his character for the rest of the season and give him a bit more story. Jasper saving Raven and telling Clarke off was just great.

I can’t even deal with what happened between Jaha and Abby. Like I don’t even want to get into it, that’s how upset they made me.

Overall, this episode was dark. Like extremely dark. I understand why some people might be really upset about it. The pain was real and scary.
