Clarke and Bellamy

The relationship between Clarke Griffin and Bellamy Blake.

In the book, Bellamy and Clarke do have a small physical relationship but it does not particularly follow through. For the most part in the show, they seem to be mutual and close friends who work well together.

They are known as "Bellarke" by fans.

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 would all die anyway. Clarke tries to formulate a reply but is interrupted by a young woman calling out Bellamy’s name.

Clarke witnesses Bellamy’s reunion with his little sister. After a brief display of aggression from Octavia, Bellamy opens the Dropship door and Clarke takes in the sights of Earth.

When Clarke realizes they are not on Mount Weather, she informs the rest of the 100 that they need to go because the longer they wait the hungry they will get and that they need to leave before dark. Instead of all of the 100 going to Mount Weather, Bellamy suggests Clarke and Wells go instead while the rest wait for them to return with supplies.

Clarke sees that Finn has been trying to get his wristband off. She scolds him and tells him that the wristbands transmit vital signs to the Ark. If they take them off the Ark will think they are dead. Clarke unknowingly gives Bellamy the idea to begin removing wristbands, so the Ark wouldn’t follow them down to Earth.

In the end, Bellamy gets his way. Only a small group leaves while the rest of the 100 stay at the drop site. Clarke leaves for Mount Weather with: Finn, Jasper, Monty, and Octavia.

In Earth Skills, Clarke returns to camp without food or supplies. Finn informs the rest of the 100 that they were attacked by people who survived the nuclear war. Clarke notices that Wells' wristband is gone. She blatently, calls Bellamy and the rest of the 100 idiots. Clarke explains to the 100 that they need the wristbands so that the people on the Ark can come down, because without them, they won't survive the Grounders.

Bellamy isn't convinced and states the 100 are stronger than she thinks. Bellamy claims that the Grounders should fear them and with a speech to the 100 they believe the same. Clarke leaves them and gathers supplies and goes plans a rescue mission for Jasper.

No one volunteers to help Clarke rescuse Jasper. As a result Clarke approaches Bellamy and Octavia. Clarke overhears the two talking and tells Bellamy that Jasper hadn't jumped in, Octavia would have died. Octavia asks if Clarke is leaving and wishes to join them but Bellamy tells her no. Clarke agrees with Bellamy stating Octavia's injured leg would only get in the way. She turns to Bellamy and says she’s here him. Clarke wants him because he has a gun. When he shows her the gun she tells him to follow her, to which Bellamy asks why he would do that. Clarke tells him that he wants the 100 to follow him and that right now only one of them is afraid. Bellamy recruits Murphy to join the rescue party.

Murphy asks how they got into the rescuing buisness to which Bellamy reveals that he's only there because the Ark thinks Wells is dead. Now he needs the Ark to think Clarke’s dead. He plans to get her wristband even if he has to cut off her hand himself.

Bellamy tells Clarke to slow down. He displays his gun and tells Clarke that no one survives a spear to the heart. Clarke tells him that Jasper screamed when he was moved, if the spear would have it his heart he would have died instantly. She turns to leave but Bellamy reaches for her arm with the wristband and tells her the moment she takes the wristband off they can go rescue Jasper. Clarke pulls her arm away and gets in Bellamy’s face. She tells him the only way the Ark is going to think she’s dead is if she’s dead. He calls her a brave princess. Finn interrupts the conversation stating Bellamy should get his own nickname. The group then splits into two smaller groups to cover more ground in the search for Jasper. Bellamy puts his gun away and trails after Clarke, clearly unhappy about Finn's interruption.

After a short split the group meets up near the river after Finn and Clarke find clues on where Jasper may be. In the distance they hear a loud noise. Unsure of what it is, Clarke tells Bellamy that now would be a good time to take out his gun, to which he complies.

A few seconds later they are shown entering a small clearing and see Jasper, strapped to a large tree. While the group approaches Jasper, Bellamy asks what the hell is this. No one gets a chance to answer because seconds later Clarke triggers a pitfall and Bellamy instinctively grabs her arm, saving her.

Bellamy contomplates dropping Clarke, which would kill her, achieving his goal of shutting off her wristband. Meanwhile Clarke realizes that Bellamy is contemplating killing her. For a moment Clarke does show fear.

However before Bellamy decides on what to do, Finn, Wells, and Murphy reach them. They all help Bellamy pull Clarke to safety. Clarke and Bellamy stare at each other for a few moments. Clarke eventually turns her focus away from Bellamy and back onto saving Jasper. The two never mention it again.

As Finn and Murphy go to cut Jasper down, Clarke notices there is a poultice on his wound. Wells wonders why they would use medicine on him. Bellamy suggest maybe whoever they are likes their food living. Clarke and Bellamy share disturbed looks when Finn suggests someone might have been trying to capture them with the pitfall.

While cutting down Jasper, Bellamy tells Murphy to hurry up and Clarke tells them to be careful. The group hear a rustling in the bushes. Bellamy asks if it’s Grounders, but no one can see. A large black panther appears and sprints for the group. Clarke shouts for Bellamy to use his gun but when he goes to retrieve it, it’s missing.

Well’s in shown to have shoots Bellamy’s gun and shoots and the panther twice, successfully hitting it’s thigh on the second shot. However the panther continues to head for Bellamy. The panther uses the foliage to hide from the group. Everything goes silent and then the panther lunges for Bellamy. Wells aims and shoots, successfully killing the panther and saving Bellamy. Wells continues to shoot and empty gun. Clarke looks on in shock. Meanwhile Bellamy informs Wells that now she sees you.

At night the rescue party comes back with Jasper carried by Wells and Finn. Clarke tells Monty She needs cloths for bandages and hot water. Monty goes and gets them. Meanwhile Murphy and Bellamy lug back the dead panther. Bellamy asks the 100 who’s hungry to which they all cheer. Clarke and Bellamy share a look before she goes inside the Dropship. Bellamy hugs his sister and Clarke begins to clean up Jasper.

Later on, Bellamy is shown trading wristbands for meat from the panther. Clarke comes out and tells Finn that Jasper stable, but he needs medicine. That’s when she sees members of the 100 taking off their wristbands for food, much to her displeasure. Clarke refuses to do it. Clarke watches and Finn goes and grabs some of the panther meat. She gives Bellamy a smirk before heading off after Finn. Finn’s action, angers Bellamy. Bellamy punches a member of the 100 who tried to pull the same stunt.
