This episode does seem a bit cliche to me, the more I think about it.

First, we have the Season Two Badguy easily defeated and everything surrounding that wrapped up in a nice little package with a bow on top. Now, while I am glad Cage was dealt with, I still think it could have been better to have him appear in a few episodes of S-3, struggling to get by, knowing if anyone finds out he's from Mt Weather, he'll be killed immediately, knowing he is the reason (most of) his people are dead. Letting us see he truly understands the folly of his actions, before he finally is killed in some inglorious way. Also, I thought there should have been at least a handful of MW survivors, rather than just Emerson.

Then, the S-3 setups: Clarke leaving to what? Become the wandering badass of the wastelands? To remind everyone there were other stations from the Ark that came down (those seem to have been forgotten)? I guess we're supposed to get all itchy for next season trying to guess.

Maybe in S-3 we can find out the story behind the legend of the City of Light. Turns out it was a couple of guys doing it as a joke, after finding the Lightouse of Letdowns. "Yeah! We'll tell people there's this city of light somewhere out there & it will be safe and welcoming for anyone dumb enough, I mean brave enough, to find the place and some other crap like that! It'll be hilarious seeing if anyone buys that load of crap!"
