"The 100" continues with Bellamy's mission on Mount Weather, a mission that soon becomes more than he bargained for, as he discovers that the new president has a plan to bomb the coalition. Will Clarke and the others be able to save their lives, will Bellamy be able to do something at Mount Weather, what about the 47? On top of that, Jaha reappears, as he keeps with his insane quest for the City of Light.
Jaha's side quest (with Murphy's collaboration) keeps ticking the boxes. Desert, sheephook, Jaha and his followers, it all follows the book. It's interesting in the way that it'll probably bring a new danger to the Ark-Grounders, but for now, it's just the obsession of a crazy man. And desert. Good but not great.
The important plot right now, the Mount Weather vs Ark-Grounders, turns really dark in this episode, inside and outside. Big decisions, big consequences, with lots of violence, dark moments and unexpected outcomes. It's neatly done (if you can say neatly here), and it's surprisingly ambiguous. It's not the calm before the storm (even if the pace is slower than in the previous episode), but a kick in the face of everyone that expects easy answers to complicated questions. With the end of the second season close by, the show will have to take care to end on a high note, but that it's not struggling and filling time is notable.
