'The 100' Season 7 Episode 6 Preview: A descent into the horrors of Nakara where Clarke remains stranded
The final season of 'The 100' has been an entirely new ballpark -- new planets, new characters, and new technologies. With a massive shift in its storytelling, 'The 100' has gone into deep sci-fi territory. In last week's episode, we finally got to see Bardo and meet its mysterious people. This week's episode, we can expect some exciting times ahead as Clarke Griffin (Eliza Taylor) and the others explore Nakara. To recall, in the fourth episode of season 7, after Clarke, Raven Reyes (Lindsey Morgan), Nathan Miller (Jarod Joseph), Jordan Green (Shannon Kook), and Niylah (Jessica Harmon) came across the anomaly stone, they decided to go looking for Bellamy Blake (Bob Morley) and his sister, Octavia (Marie Avgeropoulos) -- both of whom were captured by the Bardoans.
However, since they did not know what the Bardoans called each planet (they referred to Skyring as Penance, but Octavia was long gone from there), Raven decided to pick and choose, leading all of them to be stranded on what looks to be an ice planet. We know this planet is Nakara since next week's episode is titled so. When the new title credits were released ahead of the season premiere, eager fans spotted that Nakara was one of the planets featured. Along with it, we also see the words "Planet Class: Class II Planet", "Atmosphere breathable", and "Primary Usage: Ossuarium" on the bottom left. A user pointed out that Ossuarium is a place or receptacle for skeletal remains.
Directed by PJ Pesce from a script by Erica Meredith, the sixth episode will clue us in on what Nakara really is. The synopsis for the episode does not give us much of a clue on Nakara, it only states, "Clarke and her friends find themselves on a planet that is not what it seems." The promo gives us a bit more idea, but again, not that much. What we can expect an episode that will give off a horror/thriller vibes. We see a shot of Raven telling Clarke that they are in Nakara because of everything they've done, "all the people we've killed." However, Clarke responds by saying that she does not believe in karma.
Of course, there's also the classic horror movie dialogue, "something's down here" being whispered, along with shots of what looks like overgrown mutant spiders. As is usual with 'The 100', each episode comes with worries that one of our favorite characters might be killed off. Now that we are nearly a third through the season, those worries are intensified. However, we hope we don't lose anyone yet.
'The 100' airs on The CW on Wednesday nights at 8/7c. Watch the promo for this week's episode below.
