TV commentary:
Supergirl- She's one to talk! Getting onto Lena for keeping secrets. Not that Lena shouldn't have figured it out by now. "Gee, all of Kara's friend and family are vigilante or work for the DEO! Alex sure is sisterly with Supergirl!" It makes no sense for her not to know at this point.
Though it would be funny if she like was having lunch with Kara and started shit talking Supergirl all, "What a lying bitch!"
The 100- That was surprisingly quick! That's a good thing though! So Clarke wages a one man war on these new invaders. Which normally would work if they weren't from before the apocalypse and possessed far more advanced weaponry than anything she's ever seen.
She ends up getting captured, and Diyoza proves to be an effective foil, figuring out Clark's tricks and threatening to kill whoever's hiding in the woods. Clark says its just Madi and promises to tell them everything if they leave Madi alone, even warning them that Madi was about to lead some pursuers to their death as a gesture of good faith.
And so Diyoza backs off, and Clarke starts to tell her everything, if only the space kids didn't accidentally show back up and make it look like she was lying.
So yeah, I was surprised the gang made it down already, but better than dragging that crap out. Anyways, up in space, they had made it to the Eligus IV, which they learn was some sort of mining vessel. Apparently, the prisoners, led by Diyoza, learned about some mysterious "order 11" and mutinied and took over the ship thanks to a crewman named Zeke. I guess he didn't agree with the mysterious order either. Though he's displeased that Diyoza slaughtered the rest of the crew.
Apparently they had engine trouble, leading to them having to go into cryo sleep. The gang finds the sleeping prisoners, and Bellamy, Raven, and Echo end up fighting one as the prisoners on the ground had woken one of them up when the kids tripped the alarm boarding the ship. It was a tough fight, but to be fair, I think it was a particularly tough guy who was woken up, and shouldn't be taken as an example of the average prisoner.
But yeah, the prisoners have laserwave communications, which allows them to penetrate the irradiated cover of the planet, and so the gang overhears the prisoner chasing someone. They have no idea its Clarke, and possibly think its Octavia. So they decide they need to head back to the ground and help by using the sleeping prisoners as leverage.
Only Raven can't cook something like that up remotely. One of them has to stay behind to manually kill the prisoners in cryosleep if those on the ground order them too. Raven volunteers, and when Bellamy tries to talk her out of it, she says if they can't work things out and get a transport back up there to pick her up, she'll use an escape pod to get down.
Murphy offers to stay behind to back up Raven. After the rest of the gang leaves, Murphy tries to play off his charity as the survivor thing to do, that its more dangerous for them on the surface. And its not big, since they can just land in the escape pod later. Which Raven finds hilarious, because she totally lied about the escape pod, she just said there was one to get Bellamy off her back about leaving her. Whoops!
But yeah, they land, and somehow the prisoners miss the big freaking rocket landing. Because when the prisoners corner the gang, they think they were allies of Clarke that she lied about not being there. So yeah, Divoza is pissed, and radios her men to kill four of them in to even the score for the people Clarke killed.
Lucky for Spacekru, Madi shows up and kills their would be executioners. And she knows exactly who they are! And she tells them Clarke is alive! She leads Bellamy to the Rover, and they drive into the village, where Bellamy surprises Clarke and delivers his ultimatum! It'll be interesting to see how things turn out!
Rise- Heh, maybe its just as well! Masshous breaks the news to the girls that he's leaving. Caitlin and Sadie are quite upset. Heh, Gail tells Lou she'll miss him big time too, and she doesn't have the added issue of having a crush!
So like, isn't it better they don't try to adopt him if their daughter is totally crushing on someone who might become her adoptive/foster brother? Like she was even imagining scenarios where she'd be in next year's play, with him working tech.
Anyways, Tracey starts enacting the Principal's plan to sanitize the show. But she's not doing it to take Lou's job, she just wants the show to go on, and tells Ward they can address the issue after the show. The changes are pretty ridiculous and awful, cutting out the heart and meaning of the play.
Simon has enough though- his family is falling apart because of the issues the show brings up, but he believed in the show. So he's mad that Lou's backing down at the last minute.
Lou also figures out Tracey had been secretly following Ward's mandate even before it was brought up to him. He accuses Tracey of working against him to get his job. She corrects him that it was her job in the first place, which he denies. But he has to know that's bullshit! I mean, nothing was set in stone, but had he not all of a sudden decided he wanted to direct a musical, even though he had never been involved in the program at all, she would've had it.
I'm conflicted. On the one hand, he can be a dick, and as she said, she was trying to protect him from himself and get the show made. But given what Simon said, is it worth it?
Other stuff, Vanessa is MIA. Well, she's not missing-missing, she's off doing something, running away from her responsibilities. Lilette apologizes to Denise over the affair, and Gwen's mom is surprisingly nice to her about it! She even tells Lilette she has a gift!
Robbie's mom's ALS has taken a turn for the worse, and the doctor says she could go at any time now. All he wants is for her to come to his show!
And Lou notices Gwen and Gordy flirting, and thinks Gordy has a crush, not knowing they totally did it already. He gives Gordy unwarranted advice, all, Gail was out of his league, and he got friend zoned, but then he opened up to her about his family problems and scored. And so Gordy totally tells Gwen about his alcoholism!
