"Is Bellamy's trust in Echo foreshadowing Clarke's trust in Lexa? (Or maybe even Lexa's trust in Clarke?)"

I find this particularly intriguing. Now, wouldn't it be interesting if Clarke betrayed Lexa? Although I wouldn't really like them to go in that direction with Clarke's character, I have to consider the possibility of it happening. Plus, this show has proven time and again that they have a certain fondness for parallels.

I'm so worried for Bellamy. I'm trying to justify his actions this episode but he's making it really difficult (damn you, Bellamy). Also, his lines "yeah, I did" to Octavia tell him he didn't have to kill the Grounder has me puzzled. Why did he have to do it? I've decided maybe it has to do with Pike's presence, like if he didn't do it he knew Pike would do something stupid, and create a rift between the sky people. Maybe Bellamy isn't so clueless as to the fragile line Pike is walking and how easily it could break if Pike is triggered in some way to take action. That might also explain his lack of objection to Pike moving into Mount Weather (even though I doubt, in Bellamy's current state of mind, Bellamy would approve) and him stopping Octavia from interrogating Pike about it and instigating a fight.

I'm guessing that even if I am right, the events of Mount Weather this episode probably are going to make Bellamy convert to Pike's side. I have my fingers crossed that he'll shape up, maybe after Octavia beats him up. I'm guessing that would be enough of a jolt to make him at least reconsider what he's doing, but if it isn't, maybe Clarke can talk some sense into him. We see Clarke and Bellamy hugging, anyhow, and it's been speculated that it happens episode 12 or 13, so I doubt that hug would be happening unless Bellamy somehow starts to redeem himself.

This could be wishful thinking.
