Throughout the Series

In Pilot, Clarke meets Bellamy for the first time just after the Dropship lands on Earth. Bellamy tries to open up the door but Clarke objects stating that the air could be toxic. Bellamy tells her that if the air is toxic they are all die anyway. Clarke tries to formulate a reply but is interrupted by Octavia Blake calling out Bellamy’s name.

When Clarke realizes they were dropped on the wrong mountain, she informs the rest of the 100 that they need to head for Mount Weather. Bellamy suggests Clarke and Wells go while the rest wait for them to return with supplies. Before she leaves, Clarke reveals that the wristbands transmit vital signs to the Ark. If the 100 take them off the Ark will think they are dead. This confession leads Bellamy on a mission to remove everyone’s wristbands to make the Ark think Earth is not safe.

In Earth Skills, Clarke learns that Bellamy and his followers have been removing wristbands. Clarke blatantly, calls Bellamy and the rest of the 100 idiots. She explains that the 100 need those wristbands because without them, they won't survive the Grounders on their own. Bellamy isn't convinced and states the 100 are stronger than she thinks. Bellamy declares that the Grounders should fear them and with a speech to the 100, they believe the same. When one volunteers to help Clarke rescue Jasper, she approaches Bellamy and convinces him to join the rescue party.

Later, Bellamy tells her the moment she takes the wristband off they can go rescue Jasper. Clarke tells Bellamy the only way the Ark is going to think she’s dead is if she is dead. He calls her a "brave princess". Before things can escalate further, Finn interrupts the conversation stating Bellamy should get his own nickname.

When the group finds a strung up Jasper, Clarke triggers a pitfall and Bellamy instinctively grabs her arm, saving her. For a brief moment Bellamy considers letting Clarke die so her wristband shut off. However, in the end, Bellamy helps pull Clarke to safety. Clarke and Bellamy stare at each other for a short moment. Clarke eventually turns her focus away from Bellamy and back onto saving Jasper. The two never mention it again.

During the banquet, Gustus is poisoned and when tensions begin between the Sky People and the Grounders, Bellamy acts as a shield for Clarke, protecting her. Clarke understands that Gustus was poisoned by one of his clan and Bellamy senses that he was the one who poison himself, wanting to undermine the alliance.

 * -|Season Three =

In Wanheda (Part 1), Bellamy is on a mapping run when he is called by Kane to meet him. He brings Monty. Once they arrive, they are met by Kane and Indra, who informs them that Clarke is being hunted and they need to find her. Later, in their car, Indra explains the legend of "Wanheda" and how the person who kills her will supposedly command death. Bellamy shakes his head, expressing disapproval.

In Wanheda (Part 2), Bellamy is with Pike, Indra, Monty, Hannah, and Kane when he spots Roan and Clarke across the field. He breaks into a run to get to her; however, because of the approaching Ice Nation army, Pike holds him back from going after her. Reluctantly, Bellamy agrees to hold back for a while. Bellamy anxiously waits in the cave they decided to use for hiding with the rest of the search party but when the others are sleeping in the cave, Bellamy dresses up as an Azgeda warrior and sneaks off by himself. He follows Roan and Clarke to the abandoned subway station.

Once inside, he spots a tied up Clarke and rushes to her. When he sees her, his face breaks into a smile and he tenderly moves a strand of hair away from her face, as if to ensure that she is real. Clarke, her eyes wide, says his name but it is muffled by the gag. Bellamy reassures her that he will get her out as he gently removes the gag. Immediately after doing so, Clarke calls out for Bellamy to look out and Roan appears from behind and knocks him to the ground, holding the tip of his sword to Bellamy's throat. Clarke begs Roan not to kill him and promises to do anything he wants if he lets Bellamy go. Roan backs off of Bellamy and Clarke's face fills with relief but it is quickly replaced by horror when Roan stabs Bellamy in the leg and punches him in the face so he will not be able to follow them.

Later, Bellamy is limping through the forest and grimacing in pain as his leg bleeds out, still searching for Clarke. Kane, Monty, Pike, and Hannah eventually catch up to him, but he ignores their pleas to give up the search, unwilling to let Clarke die. Monty stops Bellamy and tells him that it is no use; they have no trail and he can barely walk. Bellamy, frustrated and desperate, cries out that they can't lose Clarke. Then, shocked by his own outburst, repeats himself more quietly to Monty, on the brink of tears. Monty promises Bellamy that they will find Clarke, but not "like this".

In Ye Who Enter Here, Bellamy, Octavia and Pike rush to Polis when Echo informs them that the summit is a trap and that the Sky People there will die. But when they arrive in the throne room, Bellamy realizes that Echo betrayed them. After learning that Mount Weather was attacked, Abby fears that Arkadia might be next and Lexa commands them to leave. Bellamy tells Clarke to leave with them while Lexa offers Clarke protection if she remains as Skaikru ambassador. Clarke replies that she will be staying in Polis to make sure Lexa keeps her word. Bellamy warns Clarke that Lexa will always put her people first and begs her to come back home. Despite Bellamy's insistence, Clarke apologizes to him and stays with Lexa.

In Hakeldama, Clarke demands to see Bellamy before Lexa makes a decision about the fate of the Sky People after slaughtering an entire army of Grounders sent there to protect them. She believes that, since Bellamy saved Indra's life, he is still redeemable despite being part of the massacre. Octavia agrees to sneak her into Arkadia to see Bellamy.

Once in Arkadia, Octavia manages to bring Bellamy in a room where Clarke is waiting. Octavia leaves, slamming the door behind him. Bellamy seems surprised to see Clarke, who says they need to talk. Bellamy, sarcastically, calls her "the mighty Wanheda" and points out how she turned her back on her own people but now wants to talk. Clarke ignores the comment and proceeds by telling him that the Ice Nation paid a price for their attack and that what he did with Pike could create yet another war but this time, the Sky People against Lexa and the 12 clans. Bellamy replies smugly that he would like to see Lexa try. Clarke asks him if he wants to go to war and Bellamy replies that they have been at war since they landed and Pike understands that. Clarke tells him that Pike is the problem and that all of this isn't who Bellamy is. Bellamy says that she's wrong, that this is who he has always been but he has let her, Kane and Octavia convince him that they could trust the Grounders but he now knows who they truly are and he won't let anyone else die for that mistake. Hopelessly, Clarke tells Bellamy that she needs him, that she needs "the guy who wouldn't let [her] pull that lever in Mt. Weather by [herself]". Bellamy snaps at her that she left him, that she left everyone. He blames her for making a deal with Lexa, who abandoned them at Mount Weather, which forced them to change plans and to irradiate the entire level, killing most of the Mountain Men. He adds that she is not in charge anymore, which is a good thing because people only died when she was in charge. Clarke is left speechless by his outburst and both begin to tear up. Sitting down, Clarke apologizes to Bellamy for leaving but adds that she knew she could because they still had him. Clarke drops her head, shamefully. Bellamy crosses the room and kneels down in front of her, taking her hands. They look into each others' eyes and Clarke smiles at him. She tells him that she knows they can fix this but Bellamy replies that he's sorry too. He then handcuffs her to the table. Clarke becomes dumbstruck, struggles against the cuffs. Bellamy turns his back and leaves the room. Later, Bellamy drags a cuffed Clarke in the halls with another guard, bringing him to Pike. Clarke begs him to not to this and Bellamy tells her that he's doing it for her own good. Octavia comes around the corner and knocks out the guard. She tells Bellamy to let Clarke go and Bellamy replies that he can't do that. They hear people coming their way and Bellamy asks Octavia to go. Clarke uses that moment of distraction to grab the guard's shock stick and shocks Bellamy with it. She then unlocks her handcuffs and runs away with Octavia.
