Well, weve gone through the looking glass.
The mysteries of Bardo are starting to unwind little by little.
But this isnt outdoors at all, its a facility thats made to look like the outdoors.
Dean Buscher/The CW
Its like something fromThe Maze RunnermeetsWayward Pines.
After shes apprehended, Octavia is taken to Memory Capture, or M-Cap.
A man named Levitt, who runs the M-Cap, is instructed to interrogate her by Anders, a.k.a.
Neal McDonough, a.k.a.
So help me God, if this ends up being some sort ofLegendscrossover, I might die of happiness.
With the M-Cap, theyre able to see Octavias memories on a screen.
They see Bellamy and Clarke, even Lincoln is there.
As days go by, Levitt is able to get more and more out of Octavia despite her resistance.
She eventually grows tired, and thats how he sees Hope on Penance, or Sky Ring.
He agrees and starts fanboying over her life: He literally cheers when she stabs Pike.
Welcome to the club, Levitt.
Shes ashamed at being a killer, but he says she simply sacrifices for the people she loves.
Octavia thinks its Diyoza, and she says they need him to get back to Hope.
Thats when the mask comes off: This is adult Hope!
Alarms start going off and Hope goes to find her mother.
The mission is to tag (a.k.a.
stab) her Auntie O and get her back to Bardo.
And once the job is finished, theyre to terminate Hope.
Cut to Hope stabbing Octavia in Gabriels tent.
Levitt says he doesnt have much time because theyre going to pull him off her case.
They sense hes not on their side and hes not.
He was the one who put the code into Hopes arm.
They take Octavia to the Anomaly Stone, where Bellamy (naturally) has a knife to someones throat.
When the fog clears, Bellamy is gone and the anomaly is closed.
Levitt is replaced with another scientist, whom Echo immediately attacks to get info on Bellamy.
He shows a video recording of the bomb incident, and lets just say she doesnt handle it well.
Despite Hope and Gabriel telling her they need the scientist to get around Bardo, Echo brutally kills him.
Echo screams in rage at the idea of Bellamy being dead, but Im not so sure.
Since the anomaly was open, isnt it feasible and likely he just fell through?
Maybe hell accidentally meet up with Clarkes crew as they planet hop.
The rest of the episode was set in present-day Sanctum.
The Russell Problem is back in full force.
His faithful have barricaded themselves inside the tavern and have decided to take Russells fate into their own hands.
Until hes released, they tell Indra, they will sacrifice one of their own every hour.
And to prove theyre not bluffing, a woman doused in accelerant sets herself on fire.
Indra goes straight to Russell and asks him how it feels to know others are willing to die forhisfreedom.
He doesnt seem too upset, to be honest.
Emori is still too weak from radiation poisoning to do it, so Murphy has to go.
so this is going to go well!
He tries to take all the children out with him when someone locks the front door.
Its Zev, who you may remember was Daniels boyfriend in his last host.
He asks him to name the four pillars of Sanctum.
Trey, the head honcho of the faithful, recites the pillars for him.
Problem is he recited them wrong, and Murphy didnt know the difference.
(Typical Murphy not to do his homework!)
Hes in a rage as he yells at the faithful for doubting Daniel and for trying to sacrifice themselves.
As they walk out of the tavern, she says Theres a spider on your shoulder, in Trigedasleng.
Russell looks at his shoulder.
But then he just smiles when he realizes what hes done.
Too bad you cant kill me, he tells Indra.
And if the Grounders found out about Sheidheda, they would also revolt.
His death could make him a martyr to two different groups in this already fragile cobbled-together community.
They remove his Mind Drive.
Hear me out: What if this IS earth?
