'The 100' Season 7 Episode 12 Preview: Bellamy joins forces with Cadogan, what will happen to Clarke now?
With the return of Bellamy Blake (Bob Morley) in Episode 11 of the seventh and final season of 'The 100' also came a huge curveball. Bellamy was gone for nearly two-thirds of the season — the heart of the show if you like — and while the episode was great in that it gave viewers a Bellamy-centric episode, we wonder whether it is too little and too late with just five episodes left in the series.
Bellamy's episode saw him go through a perilous journey with Disciple member Doucette (Jonathan Scarfe), whose faith finally encaptured Bellamy. Bellamy prayed once and he hallucinated both Bill Cadogan (John Pyper-Ferguson) and his mother, Aurora Blake (Monique Ganderton). So what does this mean for his friends, especially, Clarke Griffin (Eliza Taylor), Echo (Tasya Teles) and his sister Octavia Blake (Marie Avgeropoulous)?
All three were certainly shocked at the end of the previous episode when Bellamy told Cadogan that Clarke does not have the key aka the Flame and that it was destroyed. The promo for this week's episode shows Bellamy in Disciple garb, in white robes that we had seen Anders (Neal McDonough) wear so well. We see Echo pleading with him that this new version isn't himself. The promo also shows us that Bellamy will be forcing Clarke into the M-Cap machine, which lets them extract the memories.
If anything, the twelfth episode promises to be a big one and bring in the Sanctum storyline as well. In Sanctum, Sheidheda (JR Bourne) has taken control and Indra (Adina Porter) was forced to kneel to him as John Murphy (Richard Harmon) led Emori (Luisa D'Oliveira) and Madi (Lola Flannery) to safety. You might be wondering what would have happened to the Children of Gabriel and the Eligius prisoners who were working with Sheidheda. Seeing the massacre he is capable of, those factions, led by Nelson (Lee Majdoub) and Nikki (Alaina Huffman) might change their minds. However, Murphy may not be too quick to trust them.
Bellamy seems to know what the Last War is about, though only in the previous episode he had said that it does not make sense to go through a war to get peace. Hopefully, something he sees in Clarke's memories might bring back the old Bellamy. Would this be when Bellamy finally gets to see Clarke calling him every day on the radio for six years when they were apart?
'The 100' airs on The CW on Wednesday nights at 8/7c. Watch the promo for this week's episode below.
