'The 100' Season 7 Episode 5 Preview: Disciples question Octavia about Bellamy as Murphy plays pretend
'The 100' fans, are you ready? We are set to learn more about Bardo, the Disciples and all of the associated mysteries starting from this week's episode.
So far in the final season of 'The 100', we saw that Octavia Blake (Marie Avgeropoulos) was kidnapped by the Disciples of Bardo, who follow an unknown entity named the Shepherd. Fans have been speculating that the Shepherd could be Bill Cadogan (John Pyper-Ferguson), a cult leader who found Second Dawn before the first nuclear apocalypse (also called Praimfaya). Second Dawn was a cult that consisted of a group of people who wanted to survive the end of the world. This week, we can expect to learn more about Bardo and its people. However, we will also see how the situation in Sanctum unfolds in Clarke Griffin's (Eliza Taylor) absence. Clarke and some of the others had found the anomaly stone and gone on their way to find Bellamy Blake (Bob Morley), Octavia and the others.
In Sanctum, we know that Russell Prime's (JR Bourne) body has been taken over by Sheidheda. As the situation in Sanctum gets worse, John Murphy (Richard Harmon), Emori (Luisa D'Oliveira), Indra (Adina Porter) will need to figure out a way to make peace. Right now, different factions are vying for power — these include the Faithful (those who still believe in the divinity of the Primes), the Children of Gabriel (who want to wipe out the Primes), WonKru (who now don't follow orders because the Commander does not exist anymore), and the Eligius prisoners. Murphy and the others surely have a lot on their hands, but will they learn the truth about Russheda before it's too late?
Clarke won't be the only one looking for Bellamy and Octavia — Echo (Tasya Teles), Hope Diyoza (Shelby Flannery) and Gabriel Santiago (Chuku Modu) — whom we also call the AnomalyKru, have been training for the past five years on Penance aka Skyring aka Planet Beta to go to Bardo. In a sneak peek that's been released for this week's episode, we see two of the Bardo disciples hook Octavia up to a machine to extract her memories. We heard of this machine before when Hope mentioned it to Echo. The two disciples, which includes one played by Neal McDonough of 'Arrow', are intent on learning about Bellamy.
'The 100' airs on The CW on Wednesday nights at 8/7c. Watch the promo for this week's episode below.
