geebsTV commentary:
The 100- That was quick! But its a good thing that things are moving fast. Anyways, Bellamy makes a deal with Diyoza (who apparently was some bad-ass Navy SEAL turned terrorist back in her day, according to the records found) to free Clarke and help them get into the Bunker. Charmaine goes along, but she 1) has Zeke try and wrest control of the Eligius IV from Raven and 2) once they do that and get Abby out of the bunker (since they heard she's a doctor) totally doublecross Bellamy and grab her to help them with something.
The Zeke thing does not go well for him, because Raven is way smarter. Lucky for them she's also not a murderer, so she doesn't immediately kill the prisoners (which Murphy says he'll volunteer to do if it comes to it so that blood isn't on her hands) for their insolence. Eventually Diyoza realizes the pods are hermetically sealed, so she gets Zeke to open the ship doors to try and space Raven and Murphy, but Raven instead wakes all the prisoners up so they're forced to close the doors. Which solves one problem, but opens up an even bigger problem. Either way, Diyoza has control back over the Eligius again. But I'm getting ahead of myself.
Digging into the bunker goes pretty quick (the Eligius prisoners were sent to be miners, after all), which turns out well for Kane. Apparently Abby became a pill popper during her time in the bunker, she claims she needs the pills to function. Presumably this is just more fallout from her ALIE related injuries, since she was having issues before the bunker. Anyways, she stole some pills, and Kane took the blame.
Though he wins the fight we saw him about to get into at the end of the second ep, he shows weakness (I guess because he got all sad in the middle of his kills?) so he has to fight again. Indra is trying to help him though, pitting him against a weaker opponent. But Kane has had enough, he's not doing it anymore. Before his final fight, he makes Abby promise to stop taking pills. Because, yeah, just telling an addict, "Stop taking the pills, okay!" totally works.
Indeed, Kane is saved from the fight thanks to the prisoners blowing a hole open at the top of the bunker and Bellamy and Clarke rappelling in. After they have their happy reunion with Octavia, Indra takes Clarke to see her mother, and she totally already has a pill bottle in her hand!
Anyways, Diyoza's people start getting people out of there, and Octavia is rightfully mistrustful of them, even having Miller and presumably others come up with hidden weapons (despite Bellamy promising the bunker people wouldn't be bringing weapons) Bellamy tells Octavia to trust him, he has leverage, not knowing Diyoza is trying to get out from under that leverage.
Indeed, when she finally does after Raven had to wake the prisoners, she turns on Wonkru, demanding Abby when she disappears. Since Kane and Abby are still considered criminals, Indra and Clarke tried to sneak them out of there until they could talk them down. Wonkru has the numbers, but the Eligius corp folks have advanced weapons. (Which, why didn't the Mountain Men have some of that crazy stuff?) Abby and Kane surrender themselves to Diyoza to save Wonkru, since the alternative is hiding in the wastelands.
Too bad, one of the prisoners, loyal to Mccreary, rather than Diyoza, starts some shit and fires on Octavia. She's narrowly saved by one of the followers, and the Eligius folks get the hell out of there before they have to deal with hundreds of pissed off Grounders.
As they lift off in the Gagarin, she tries to get Zeke to fire missiles at the crowd and the bunker. Zeke tries to point out that, these are the last survivors of the human race, perhaps they shouldn't be slaughtering them willy nilly. It turns out to be moot, because Raven changed the launch codes on them, so now the Gagarin has to go back to the Eligius IV to get the codes from her. Hey, at least she and Murph have a way down now!
Anyways, for some reason Octavia is pissed at Bellamy for all this? Like she throws the "you said trust you!" back in his face. But whatever, the betrayal happened so fast, what was she going to do anyways. They were still taking people back up. Did she just want to immediately just attack these guys?! I mean, she obviously had her men biding their time anyways. I just don't see when they would have had the opportunity to attack first. Or is she mad at Bellamy for making a deal with these guys in the first place, which then you guys would still be stuck in the bunker!
Other stuff, still no word on what happened to the Eligius III, as Raven was able to access files for I, II, and IV, but whatever went on on III was highly classified.
