"Because of course it is" was pretty funny. Poking a bit of fun on themselves.
Didn't care for Octavia suddenly being all touchy with her brother again for no reason.
"You don't know the formula"/"She changed the passphrase" sooo cheesy and second hand shaming scenes.
Madi is really trying hard to be as obnoxious as Abbie and is even exceeding her in this episode.
Showing someone burn on the stake with gasoline was...somewhat of a bad timing to say the least.
Mixed episode, mostly good things, though. But could have been great without Abbie/Madi scenes.
So when it comes right down to it, Clarke purged Josephine herself. She could have done it sooner except she was trying no to kill the other (for some dumb ass reason).
That's what I wanted to see. Josephine may have been backed up to a mind drive a few times but she never had to fight other consciousnesses in the City of Light.
This wasn't the first time Clarke had someone in her head, and she's always been strong enough to prevail. I think Eliza does a great job portraying Clarke and Josephine, changing her intonation and mannerisms just enough that those in the know realize which character she is at the time. Will this house of cards come crashing down around the inhabitants of this new earth?
Didn't understand why Josephine suddenly turned bad right after they made amends and found a solution to both of their problems. What did she expect to happen if she would've killed Clarke? Why would Octavia and Gabriel let her get away with that? Sad to see Josephine go so quickly because I thought she was a really interesting character.
I'm still curious to see how the Madi issue is going to work out. How will they break the dark commander's spell?
For a moment I thought some main characters were actually going to die when they brought out the stakes at the end, but I was confused to see that Russel just let all of them go because of a promise that he might not even know is true. I could somewhat understand it because murder doesn't really fit his character, but for me, it completely broke the heat of the moment, and the unknown character that still died had no emotional impact on me at all.
I guess the end did not suck.

This show IS NOT messing around with the throat stabbing this season! Damn! Who else gasped when the random dude shanked Simone? Show of hands! :person_raising_hand:
Another gasp inducing moment (that really shouldn't have been, I should have seen that one coming) was Ryker putting Echo out of commission. Ryker! I had such high hopes for you! I know you were only helping cause you were
kinda sortabeing blackmailed, but still! :confused:The total highlight of this episode for me was Bellamy's surprise rescue! Man, I actually cheered out loud during that scene, that's how excited I got. I'm way too invested in this show. It's gone past the point of it being healthy.
Also, I feel like Lola and Marie deserve a round of applause for their acting this episode. Octavia's total relief and happiness when she hugged Bellamy warmed my heart. And Madi's little, violence-loving smirks were creepy as hell! Well done, ladies!
Speaking of Madi... why does something being able to be isolated necessarily mean you can safely delete it? That doesn't seem like a foregone conclusion to me. Then again, it was way past time the show found something for Raven to do besides sulk from up on her high horse.
And lastly, I bet never in a million years the Bellarke shippers would have guessed the first mouth to mouth contact between them would have been during CPR! Ah, this show. Always taking our expectations and tearing them up AND ALSO setting them on fire right in front of our faces! But that head/heart reference? UGH! Play with my emotions some more, WHY DON'T YOU?! Perfection! °chef's kiss°
I lied before, I have one more thing to say. What will be of Josephine now? I mean, Clarke "floated" basically all of the book/memories. And then Jo decided to "do a Clarke" and use the mind mesh (or whatever) to stay inside Clarke's head. Does that mean Jo has been erased? What's actually left inside the mind chip? SO MANY QUESTIONS!
