Echo: "Why are you trying to save me?" Bellamy: "Because, Echo, I'm afraid too. We are about to head to space, where we will be tested every minute of everyday for next 5 years. I'm not gonna lie to you. I still don't trust you... maybe I never will... But you're strong. We have a better chance of surviving if you're up there with us."

— Bellamy convincing Echo not to kill herself. [src]
They met in season 2 episode Coup de Grace. Echo immediately distrusted Bellamy and spat in his face because he was Sky People. But, when she saw that he killed Sgt. Lovejoy she eventually believed his story that he was there to help everyone escape Mount Weather.
In season 3, Ye Who Enter Here their mutual trust and respect was broken when Echo betrayed Bellamy and the Sky People to Queen Nia and Emerson.
They meet again in Season Four but Bellamy shows anger towards Echo, and Echo doesn't trust Bellamy. He stopped her from cheating during the Final Conclave, which cause her to get banished from Ice Nation by Roan.
Later in "Praimfaya", Echo tried to kill herself but Bellamy was able to stop her and convince her not to and go to space with him. She decides to go to Go-Sci Ring with Bellamy and the others.
In season 5, Echo and Bellamy have a romantic relationship and they support each other.
In Coup de Grâce, Bellamy and Echo meet for the first time in the Harvest Chamber inside Mount Weather. Bellamy is thrashing around in his cage until Echo, who is in the cage next to his, tells him in Trigedasleng to be quiet because they take the strongest individuals first. Bellamy tells her that he doesn't understand what she is saying to him. Echo realizes Bellamy is a member of Skaikru, then spits on him. Sgt. Lovejoy and a doctor enter the chamber and plan to take Echo for a blood transfusion, but Bellamy begins to kick around, forcing them to choose him instead. After escaping the chamber with the help of Maya, Bellamy promises Echo that he will come back to rescue her.
In Blood Must Have Blood (Part 1), Bellamy keeps his promise to Echo and releases her from her cage along with the others in the chamber. He tells Echo that an army of their people will soon be marching on Mount Weather. Before Bellamy leaves, Echo thanks him.
Bellamy: "Get up. It's time to go. I told you I'd come back for you. Come on out. Our people are marching on Mount Weather right now." (Bellamy tries to help a prisoner who struggles) "Hey! It's okay. We're getting you out."
Bellamy: "Listen to me. There's an army inside this room, and I need you to help me get them ready to fight. Can you do that?" (Echo nods) "Good. Start with him."
(Echo helps wounded man out of the cage)
Echo: (to wounded man in Trigedasleng) "It's OK. We can trust him."
Echo: (to prisoners in Trigedasleng) "If you want to be free, be quiet!" (the prisoners immediately quiet down and she speaks to Bellamy) "Okay. How do we do this?"
Bellamy: "There's an army outside going for the main door. When they get it open, all hell will break loose."
Bellamy: "He's trying to get his people to turn on each other. They'll find my friends. I have to bring them here now. I'll send them in groups. You get your people ready to go, but you wait for me to come back. Do you understand?"
(Echo nods; Bellamy starts off but Echo stops him)
Kane: "Bellamy, I know how you feel about her, but you can't lose control."
Echo: "Before you say anything, remember, I saved your life by taking you out of Mount Weather. I'm sorry I couldn't tell you to bring the girl, but I was following orders, Bellamy."
Echo: (to Bellamy) "I know how it feels to lose someone you care about to war, but we do what we do for our people. You slaughter us, we slaughter you. That all went away in the City of Light, but it's back now. So here we are."
Bellamy: "We'll give you guns and show you how to use them."
Echo: "Not much they can do now, though, is there, without an army. You were there. Then you know why everyone hates Skaikru and why we can never accept your terms."
Bellamy: "The alternative is war. Is that what you want?"
Echo: "No one wants war. Lay down your guns, and we'll let your children live."
Echo: "You think we'll ever be able to trust each other again?"
Echo: "I betrayed you! Why are you trying to save me?"
Bellamy: "Because, Echo, I'm afraid too. We are about to head to space, where we will be tested every minute of every day for next 5 years. I'm not gonna lie to you. I still don't trust you, maybe I never will, but you are strong. We have a better chance of surviving if you're up there with us. Plus, we may need to throw someone overboard to lighten the load."
Bellamy saved Echo first, when Mountain Men tried to take Echo from her cage to take her to the Harvest Project, but Bellamy banged on his cage to make them think that he was stronger so they took him instead. Later, Echo saves Bellamy by stopping Sgt. Lovejoy when he tried to stab Bellamy by holding his hand while Bellamy choked him to death.
In the beginning of Season Four, it was also implied that Bellamy still blamed Echo for the death of Gina Martin, and as Bellamy was about to leave Polis, Echo presents the King's seal to Bellamy. She asks him if they will ever trust each other again, to which he replies, "I doubt it." It was implied that Bellamy is still upset at Echo and shows hatred towards her for betraying him in Season Three.
In A Lie Guarded, when Echo accidentally stabbed Bellamy’s sister, Octavia, (made Echo thinks that she killed her) Echo inform Bellamy that Octavia is dead as "good death" but never told him that she was one that stabbed Octavia. Later in The Tinder Box, After discovered Octavia survive the stabs, Bellamy told Echo that he will strangle her if she was one that could have kill Octavia.
In Praimfaya, they are no longer enemies, they become allies and go to space together along with others.
