Floating Hell! He's at it again. Another Jason Rothenberg interview where he tells us the missing plot (this time about Monty's and Monroe's involvment in the circumvented attempted massacre at the village). The scene was cut so they could include Clarke drawing Lexa sleeping since that was more important, obviously.

"The truth is, unfortunately, a lot of times, these episodes, director’s cuts come in long, and we have to get it down to 42 minutes. Usually, we do that by cutting out the stuff that’s not that good, so if something’s really good, it’s usually going to end up in the show. Occasionally, things have to go because you get down to that point where you’re at 46 minutes, and you need to lose more. For instance, in the last episode, in 306, there was a little bit of a scene between Monroe and Monty, right after Jasper and Abby have their scene about whether or not he should take the chip, Monty, and Monroe are sitting there having a drink together and the camera’s on them, and they shared a little bit about what was going on in their heads. Which was, on Monroe’s side, “I trust Bellamy, I’m going to follow Bellamy.” And Monty was questioning what Pike was doing, and the fact that Clarke and the others are on the other side, and his mother was on the wrong side, as it is in our minds, and he’s following his mother. And we sense that, and I really wish that could have been in the show because frankly I think people rightly have questions as to why Monty and Monroe were on that mission in 306. I’ve actually thought about putting that out as a clip for people; it had to go for time, sadly. But anyway, good question because it made me think of that. Maybe I will put that out. "
