Home is a relative term onThe 100.

Thats why its so difficult for Emori and Nelson to trust people.

Thats why Diyoza and Hope cling to each other so tightly.

Thats why Echo may never love anyone again.

In The Queens Gambit, these tensions in relationships and struggles of self-worth are on display across the planets.

(Do I believe Indra would really do this?

No, but episode budgets are a very real thing.)

Murphys big role for the day is giving Sheidheda breakfast as no one else is allowed in there.

Emori, on the other hand, has big plans: Shes hosting a Unification Ceremony.

Shes collected the Nulls DNA and is reuniting them with their families.

She relays all this to Nelson, who is refusing to join the ceremony.

They can burn for all I care, he tells her.

Jackson is also playing psychiatrist this episode as he talks Madi through her panic attack.

Her whole life, shed been hidden away to avoid being forced into the conclave for Commander.

She says shes drawing people and things shes never seen.

Could Madi be the real key??

that says, Unification Ceremony Today.

If he loses, people will die.

Good thing Murphy knows how to play chess!

He even says that Murphy should be a god who has numerous women, not just a frikdreina.

(You love to see a good Lexa reference!)

Yall,JR Bourneplays evil so well!

Over at the Unification Ceremony, Nelsons parents, who Emori tracked down, have shown up.

His father isnt too sure about this, though, and wants Daniel Primes blessing.

Kaylee assures him hell be there soon.

Cut to Murphy, still playing chess.

The game is taking forever, and Murphy is just catching on that Sheidheda is purposefully dragging it out.

Sheidheda says that Kaylee is too soft and the ceremony will fail without Daniel.

Then he grabs Murphy and holds a sharp chess piece to this throat.

Just then, Nelson walks into the ceremony and Emori introduces him to his parents.

Things seem to be going well at first.

His mother cries, hugs him, and tells him they had named him Sachin, which means pure.

His father holds back.

Nelson tries to hug him, but he shouts out, No, we did the right thing!

Youre an abomination all of you are!

Then Nikki and the rest of the prisoners enter the room with guns and arm the Children of Gabriel.

Sheidheda lets Murphy go, and Nikki lets Emori get away as well.

Theyre alive now, but things are definitely not looking good for the Primes.

This is why Indra should never leave.

Anders is there and knows all about Gabriels work and research on the Sanctum stone.

And theyll find transcendence through the stone.

The Disciples' leader wants Gabriel to join the cipher team to help them understand how to unlock it.

Instead of being like, No way, youre nuts!

I think one too many Mind Drive swaps may have fried his common sense.

Then he kisses her.

And Zen, wise Octavia is there to take up her brother’s mantle.

She tells Octavia that theyve all made mistakes in times of grief, but Bellamys death isnt her fault.

And she forces a hug on her before saying, Youre my family, too.

Its a whole thing.

Next door, Hope and Diyoza are having their own family reunion.

Diyoza tells her daughter that it wasnt her responsibility to rescue her; its the other way around.

Youre just mad because I turned out to be a killer like you, Hope says.

As a mother, she only wanted Hope to see her as her mommy not a killer.

And she definitely doesnt want Hope following in her footsteps.

Doing the right thing the wrong way isnt the right thing, she tells her.

But Hope isnt hearing it.

She says she trained for 15 years under two different Disciples just to save her mother.

She wants to take on an entire army to get them all out of there now.

Diyoza wants to see her fighting skills: If Hope can beat her, shell help her.

Hope starts crying about how she lost her mother all those years ago.

Next door, Octavia is reading a book while Echo is being very…Grounder.

Echo understands that the Disciples only care about the war which means theyre all recruits, not prisoners.

She yells out that theyre ready to fight.

And then Diyoza and Hopes doors open, too.

Anders says their training starts tomorrow.

Back at the Anomaly Stone, Gabriel and his cipher crew are working.

Its been three months.

Gabriel tells her that theyve been waiting on them.

He then tells her that Echo and Octavia are there, but that Bellamy is dead.

If you remember, there were 12 levels in Second Dawn before the First Apocalypse.

So is level 13 only for the Shepherd?

Inside the cryo chamber is ol Bill himself, who Anders calls Shepherd.

Bill assumes hes being woken up because theyve cracked the code and the war has begun.

Anders says no, but theyve found the key: Clarke.

What in Nakara is going on?

or it further validates my theory that thisisEarth.

From the Earth, we will grow.

From the ashes, we will rise.

FROM THE EARTH, WE WILL GROW??
