'The 100' Season 7 Episode 2: Spectacular chapter thrills fans as they love the throwback to 'girl in the floor'
Spoilers for 'The 100' Season 7 Episode 2 'The Garden'
'The 100' is now in full swing into its final season and with the whereabouts of certain important characters unknown, each week we hope for answers. The characters are, of course, the Blake siblings, and though we still don't know where Bellamy (Bob Morley) is, we got an insight into where Octavia (Marie Avgeropoulos) went when she disappeared into the anomaly last season.
Perhaps it was the parallels to many previous episodes and seasons. However, fans seemed to enjoy the second episode more than the Season 7 premiere, which they found confusing. This week's episode featured major Octavia content, leaving Blake stans thirsty for more. One fan wrote, "I loved it. With all the backstory and mythology playing out, it reminded me of another of my fav shows, LOST. (And though I missed Bellamy & Clarke, and the others, I truly love how this episode focused only on these two stories and characters. It felt right." Another tweeted, "It's over ngl, it was one of the best episodes ever, can't wait for the next one!!!"
One viewer wrote, "This episode was literally spectacular. I'm speechless I can only cry right now," while another opined, "The anomaly rules are a bit convoluted for the final season of a show with so much else going on but overall a better episode then last week. But maybe that just cause I love Octavia so much." One fan tweeted, "This episode has put me through so many emotions tonight I can’t," while another wrote, "Quick review: there was Octavia and every episode with at least one blake sibling in it is a masterpiece so yeah."
Fans also found a particular parallel that we had noticed as well when Octavia asks young Hope Diyoza to hide inside a wall. To recall, Octavia had to hide under the floor during inspections because families were not allowed to have second children on the Ark due to population control. It seemed quite fitting that "the girl in the floor" would make Hope "the girl in the wall". One fan tweeted, "That callback to the girl under the floor though #The100 What a great episode!" Another wrote, "Octavia was the girl under the floor and hope's the girl inside the wall... the parallels #The100." A fan opined, "Octavia telling hope to be quiet resembles the girl under the floor. #The100," while another tweeted, "Nice parallel between the girl who grew up under the floor and Hope being hidden in the wall - Uber #The100." One fan tweeted, "What a pivotal moment. The girl under the floor has to hide Hope in the walls to save her life. #The100."
'The 100' airs on The CW on Wednesday nights at 8/7c.
