With a title like A Little Sacrifice, I was incredibly nervous going into Wednesday nightsThe 100episode.
Sheidheda has fled the scene and left a wake of dead and nearly dead bodies.
But then they all remember he probably has another target: Madi.
It doesnt take her long to figure out this isnt Russell.
The good news is he doesnt want to kill her because that would make his Indra problem worse.
But he does want her to kneel to him, and hes not taking no for an answer.
The man certainly paints a picture!
For now, Madi just has counselor Murphy.
He finds her after Sheidheda leaves and talks her down from a panic attack.
All of Wonkru is gathered before Sheidheda outdoors as he asks them to kneel.
Indra busts through and says they will not kneel.
Your path leads through me, she says as she challenges him to solo gonplei.
Because he honors tradition, he accepts her challenge to a duel.
She grabs a sword from someone in the crowd, but he gets in another hard knock.
But Madi is no match for him, even when hes wounded.
Hes about to stab Madi when Indra says, Spare her life.
She kneels and gives Trikru permission to do the same as Sheidheda yells out, I am your commander.
Luckily, Madi makes a quick exit.
When Sheidheda realizes shes gone, he sends his Sangedakru guards to find and kill her.
Murphy and Emori have hidden everyone in the nuclear reactor room.
Children grow up and get revenge, Sheidheda says.
(Is it just me or is JR Bourne just absolutelythrivingin this role!?)
Things arent going great in Sanctum.
And also not so great on Bardo.
Unaware of the giant Sheidheda problem, Clarke and co. are trying to deal with the big Shepherd problem.
She says she wants to talk to Bill alone.
Clarke huddles with Gabriel, Raven, Niylah, Jordan, and Miller.
So, they divide and conquer.
But they wont find Echo because shes in Hopes room telling her its moving day.
Shes out for revenge, and Hope is here for it.
Hope is tasked with finding everyone they care about in this building and getting them out within the hour.
Im so glad these two are finally on the same side.
Octavia knows something is off.
Bill starts to ask, What does praim… but says it doesnt matter.
We know Praimfaya means death.
There may be something here to watch…
Anyway, Bill and Gabriel chat it up about both being from a different time.
The problem is they dont have the code to unlock it on the stone.
Every war seems like the last one until the next, poet Niylah says.
Thats when Bill decides he wants to go have lunch.
Gabriel grabs a gun and follows him out.
Gabriel isnt impressed with any of this, though.
You cant fight a war for the soul of the human race with an inhuman army, Gabriel argues.
But before they can discuss further, Anders comes in and says theres a problem.
Gabriel is sent back to the Stone Room, gun-less and Bill-less.
But while Gabriel was away, Jordan was reviewing the symbols on the orb and the translations.
Meanwhile, Octavia finds Levitt tied up and beaten in his room.
He says that Echo killed two people in front of him before he cracked.
He helped her get Gem-9, the bioweapon that killed the Bardoans.
They find her in a maintenance area about to squeeze a tiny dropper into a water pipe.
Octavia says she cant do this because there are good people on Bardo.
When that doesnt work, Clarke tries arguing that this isnt what Bellamy would have wanted.
She also says that a choice this massive will live with her forever.
Echo, youre my sister, and my sister wouldnt do this, Raven says.
Thats still not enough to deter Echo, so Raven says shes not leaving.
If Echo is committed to killing these people, shell have to kill Raven, too.
Echo finally gives in and as she cries, Diyoza grabs the dropper from her hand.
Good choice, Anders says from behind them.
Hes pissed that Echo killed three of his people and tortured another.
Diyoza suggests they call it even as she hands him the vial of Gem-9.
But Anders isnt biting.
Out of nowhere, Hope yells, I have a better idea, and slashes Anders’s throat.
He drops the vial, but Hope anticipated that and grabs it.
Octavia drags Hope out of the room as shes screaming and crying while her mother crystallizes.
Dont waste this, little one, Diyoza cries out in her last words.
Be better than me.
And just like that, Diyoza is gone.
Ill be honest: This death made me angry.
So, welcome to the club, kid.
