First, thank you for taking the time to write this. You've done Bellamy's character more justice than the show gave him in the last episode.

As I mentioned in my review, I can believe Bellamy would side with Pike but not in the manner it was presented nor with the speed it was done. My biggest frustration of this entire character transformation is that it was filled with tropes, recycled plots, and massive leaps. I wouldn't be surprised if they decided to reveal Gina was also pregnant just to turn up the wangst.

Bellamy's character deserved much more internal exploration. Instead, we were given an external story that conflicted with the internal narrative we were led to believe was occurring. Whether that was due to the minimum time spent on his plot or because he himself is being used as a plot device still remains to be seen.
