										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p class="Standard"><span lang="EN-CA">They arrive at the second dawn bunker. Bill disappears using some form of technology. Gaia enters the room with a torch. She explains to them how she got there. When the guard attacked her at the stone they both fell through it, landing up in the Blodreina pit. They fought until she won. A few days later Octavia and the others showed up. Gaia escorts them to the others. They discover that earth is survivable once more. The first thing they ask Clarke is, where is Bellamy? She tells them that he is dead&#8230;and she was the one who killed him. She tells that she had to. She tells them what happened with Madi and her sketchbook and once she gets it all out she breaks down. Octavia walks over to her and tells her that she understands what she had to do. They hug and she tells her that that wasn’t Bellamy. Echo tells her that they lost the Bellamy they knew a long time ago. She tells her that it wasn’t her that killed him but rather Bill Cadogan and his beliefs.</span></p>
<p class="Standard"><span lang="EN-CA">Sheidheda is in the white room, seemingly healed from his gut wound and Bill is at his bedside, flipping through the sketchbook. He tries to bargain with Bill but he doesn’t cave so he tells him who’s book it is. But he tells him that getting to Madi won’t be easy because Clarke will protect her at all costs. He offers himself for the mission, reasoning that he knows her better than most because of the flame.</span><span lang="EN-CA"> </span></p>
<p class="Standard"><span lang="EN-CA">Miller is upset and confides in Jackson that he won’t be able to forgive Bellamy now that he’s dead. Meanwhile the rest explore the bunker searching out food and a place to sleep while they figure out their next move. Madi is upset that Clarke killed Bellamy for her. Now Clarke has to live with that decision and Madi doesn’t like how it was for her. They fight and Madi leaves to wander the rest of the bunker. The lights come on courtesy of Raven. She hears some distant music and she follows it to Gabriel playing the piano. Jordan and Hope are dancing and Nylah is in the back getting more and more drunk. Jordan and Hope share a look and she runs off. Gabriel tells him to go after her and he does while he offers to teach Madi the piano.</span><span lang="EN-CA"> </span></p>
<p class="Standard"><span lang="EN-CA">Now that they know that Earth is once more habitable Murphy insists on going back to Sanctum to bring the others here. He claims it to be the right thing to do especially when many of them used to live there already and fled when they couldn’t stay.</span></p>
<p class="Standard"><span lang="EN-CA">Indra finds Octavia outside and she tells her that she doesn’t want to go back inside, plagued by her actions as Blodreina. She tells Octavia that they were all Blodreina and any of the monsters that are still there, they will face together.</span><span lang="EN-CA"> </span></p>
<p class="Standard"><span lang="EN-CA">A bridge opens in the pit with Gaia, Octavia and Indra standing watch, but nothing visible comes through before it closes. Octavia goes to Clarke asking her where Madi is, then they go looking, providing the perfect opportunity for Sheidheda to sneak behind them. He’s the one who came through the stone in a suit that kept his presence and identity a secret.</span></p>
<p class="Standard"><span lang="EN-CA">A very drunk Nylah finds Echo. Echo tells her that her name is actually Ash and how she never got the chance to tell Bellamy. Nylah hands over the liquor bottle and she tells Echo how she was named after an azgedian because she’s part azgeda.</span><span lang="EN-CA"> </span></p>
<p class="Standard"><span lang="EN-CA">Raven and Emori work on fixing the helmet to get back to Sanctum. Murphy leaves when he hears Hope crying in the hallway. They talk briefly before Jordan catches up to her and takes over. He tells her that he thought they were having fun when they were dancing. He’s not so good at reading social cues due to how he was raised. They bond over that and she tells him that she was having fun, but then she started to feel guilty. Then she offers her hand for them to continue their dance right there in the hallway. It’s brief as Clarke and Octavia interrupt shouting Madi’s name. Hope tells them that she’s in the rec room but Sheidheda slams the door, locking them in, having now found his target. He stabs Gabriel through the chest at the piano before pursuing Madi. When he catches up to her he tells her that he’s not bringing her back like Bill wanted because he doesn’t want to transcend. He wants to rule. He tries to kill her with a knife when Gabriel intervenes, he tells her that Gaia and Indra are at the pits and she runs. Sheidheda fights with Gabriel then leaves him (having won) and finds them at the pits. Indra is about to kill him after they defeat him in battle but then he reaches for his dagger and stabs himself in the gut once more bringing him back to Sanctum.</span></p>
<p class="Standard"><span lang="EN-CA">They find Gabriel bleeding in the rec room. Jackson and Miller come in and Jackson tries to save him but it’s no good. Gabriel assures them that this is what he wants. Hope is sobbing, holding up his head. Madi runs to Gaia and Indra after witnessing Gabriel’s death. Clarke follows, seeing Madi stab herself with that same knife Sheidheda used to send him back to Sanctum. She’s done having others die onher behalf, she tells Clarke that she loves her and then she disappears.</span></p>
<p class="Standard"><span lang="EN-CA">A bridge opens again, this time with a bomb. Miller grabs it right away and throws it behind a door and seals it just before it blows.</span></p>
<p class="Standard"><span lang="EN-CA">Emori runs out claiming to hear something, Murphy follows. Then the ceiling falls, separating them.</span></p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Levitt is discussing the latest developments on Bardo with one of his coworkers who is currently taking a break from working on a man’s memories in the white room. Levitt takes over for her and the memories come fast and it takes him aback for a second, until he notices something. The scene before him is depicting the moments just before Bellamy’s demise. He slows it down to analyse and he discovers that Bellamy slipped through the anomaly right before the explosion reached him in the room. This is proof that Bellamy is still alive, so now the question is where is he and is he still alive?</p>
<p>He wakes up in a stormy forest scene, still shaken from the explosion he just escaped, but then he sees that he didn’t come alone when one of the Shepherd’s followers attacks him to the ground. Bellamy wins and knocks him out, leaving his unconscious body to explore this new world. This place has tons of cliffs and rocky terrain with many caves to camp in. It’s in a cave that he finds that man who attacked him earlier and despite his heavy religious ramblings, Bellamy insists that they should work together. It’s their best option to survive and get off this planet, but first he helps him with his injuries that he caused. Bellamy tells him to thank a man named Pike for all of his survival knowledge as they spend their first night as new allies. His companion has a ‘Shepherd’s Passport’ in his coat, which Bellamy reads to pass the time as the man sleeps. It dictates their beliefs and philosophies that drive them to follow the Shepherd and it fascinates and baffles Bellamy to no end. To him it doesn’t make any sense and when his companion wakes, he tells him just that. Bellamy tells him that a war doesn’t bring peace, it only brings death and more pain and that is why the Shepherd’s words don’t make any sense, but his companion is not deterred or swayed by Bellamy to think any differently. They discuss these beliefs throughout the episode as they make their way closer and closer to the anomaly.</p>
<p>As they continue to climb to higher ground and closer to their way out, the weather turns volatile. First it&#8217;s storms, then it&#8217;s intense blizzards forcing them to remain in the cave for months without scaling any closer to the top. There they find a photo of the Shepherd and his family. Further in he sees a light and then he feels a warmth mistaking his companion for having made a fire and investigates the source. There he finds more glowing, misty shapes similar to the anomaly’s signature green glow. His companion calls this the cave of ascent.</p>
<p>Bellamy tells him that his shepherd is a fraud, but he still doesn’t believe Bellamy despite everything he knows. Bellamy tells him that he believes in what he can prove. This is where their difference separate them from the Shepherd’s teachings. Then they run out of rations. They resort to feeding off the bugs that climb the cliffs and caves. Bellamy finally relents and tries to see things from his companion’s perspective and he sits down by the fire and asks him to teach him. They start to recite the Shepherd’s words and it transports Bellamy back to the cave now unthawed and in the presence of Bill, the Shepherd. He leads him to the cave of ascent where Bellamy sees his deceased mother in the flesh. She tells him to follow the light, the light is the way. Then he’s back in the frozen cave, but this time there’s a light coming from the entrance of the cave which has been shrouded in unending storm for the past few months. They walk out and see that the storm has finally broken and they can continue their climb.</p>
<p>His companion slips while climbing, Bellamy immediately grabs the rope to help him up despite his continuing shouts to leave him behind. He refuses to leave him and doesn’t stop until he hoists him back up with him on the cliff edge. They chant the Shepherd’s words through the entire ordeal.</p>
<p>They reach the top and find the anomaly stone, but the portal is down in the clouds requiring a leap of faith to pass through. The Shepherd’s loyal follower and Bellamy’s companion turned friend, makes no hesitation and takes the leap immediately, leaving Bellamy alone with a decision to follow or die alone. His friend told him to believe so he takes the leap, telling himself that he is afraid.</p>
<p>They come through on the other side back in the stone room on Bardo and the Shepherd is there waiting. Bellamy goes over to him and kneels at his feet, showing his devotion and belief in his teachings. Bill tells him that his friends are there but have gotten themselves into a bit of trouble.</p>
<p>Bill comes in interrupting Gabriel’s meal time and Clarke, Echo, and Octavia’s planning. Then Bellamy walks in. Octavia tries to rush him but the guards draw their weapons. Echo asks how this could be as Clarke (having been allowed to approach him) embraces him and informs him of her role as the key and how they don’t know that it’s not possible anymore seeing as how the flame was destroyed. She asks him to say nothing as she lets go and returns to her original spot to address Bill once more. She agrees to help him but before he leaves Bellamy tells him that he needs to know one thing. And that’s that the flame is no longer viable because it’s gone. Clarke doesn’t possess it like she led Bill to believe. Clarke is stunned by Bellamy’s betrayal but that’s all we see. This episode leaves the only leverage Clarke had to save her and her people obliterated by one of her closet friends. Stay tuned for next week’s episode!!</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>&#8216;A Little Sacrifice&#8217; opens just moments after Sheidheda escaped the banquet hall, leaving his bloody massacre for Emori, Jon, and Indra to discover. Sheidheda goes after the last Commander, Madi, to force her to relinquish the clans from her control. He finds her quickly and as he approaches, she gets more and more uncomfortable realising that this isn’t Russell, but Sheidheda. What makes this scarier than him being in her head is that fact that he can now put his words into action. He threatens her and asks her to kneel in exchange for her life. When she doesn’t immediately give in, he threatens her loved ones. This makes her obey and she yields to his demand. Now satisfied, he leaves the room without uttering another word.</p>
<p>Clarke asks Bill to let her friends go, but he tells her that they aren’t his prisoners. He turns the decision to them instead. Trying to process this new information, Clarke calls for a new deal. She offers to help him only if he lets all of her people return to Sanctum.</p>
<p>Echo answers Bill saying they aren’t going anywhere and have a war to fight. Dioyza agrees and then finally so does Octavia. They leave the room. Clarke immediately asks to talk to her people, alone. She demands his people to leave the stone room, everyone but Bill. They huddle together and Clarke asks her friends why Bill is so obsessed with her possession of the flame. She wonders why they think she has the flame in her head.</p>
<p>Hope is locked in her cell. A guard comes in telling her it’s moving day, then Echo comes in and kills the guard. When Hope doesn’t know what to think or how to react, she flashes Echo a look in which she responds with, “What? You didn’t really think I believe this garbage.” It was a great line and 100 % Echo. She tells her that she has one hour to get all their loved ones off this planet. When Hope tries to learn more, Echo tells her they only have one hour, she has to move. Then she disappears.</p>
<p>Jon, Emori, and Indra go looking for Madi. Jon finds her in her room cowering by her bed with her dog. She’s slightly hysterical and panics when he finds her. Jon immediately goes over to her and talks her down. He calms her down. Great character development for Jon!</p>
<p>Then Russell starts to broadcast over the whole compound, addressing all 12 clans. He’s trying to turn Indra’s people against her. She rushes over to the palace knowing that that’s where he must be to make the announcement. Once outside, she orders her people to follow her in an attempt to stop him, but they hesitate. He continues to speak and Indra is stunned by this turn of events. She repeats herself, louder and then they obey.</p>
<p>Nylah strikes up conversation with Bill about his daughter, Calliope. She talks about what she knows from clan history about his daughter’s role as a flamekeeper. She describes her and this makes him happy. Gabriel takes a turn and asks him how he’s even still alive in which he responds with, “cryogenics and a well-balanced diet” as his secret to longevity. Bill gets up to address Gabriel stating that they are more similar than he lets on and he tries to use that to get Gabriel to talk. It’s clear Gabriel doesn’t agree. Bill explains how he needs Clarke to access the code from the AI so it can be entered in to their system which will then trigger this “last war” he’s going on about. Jordan calls this whole thing ridiculous. Bill leaves for lunch and Gabriel rushes to follow him to keep him guarded. He takes Jordan’s gun and tell them that they will be back after lunch. Jordan and Nylah can’t follow because they have to keep the stone room secured.</p>
<p>Clarke, Miller, and Raven walk into Dioyza and Octavia’s room. Clarke and Octavia hug almost immediately after the doors close behind them, then Octavia hugs Miller. When he doesn’t return it, she tells him to hug her back when Hope bursts in. Clarke asks about Echo and Hope says they don’t have time to discuss it. They only have 45 minutes to get out. Octavia realises that she’s getting revenge for Bellamy after Hope shares that Levitt was helping Echo, finding that suspicious. They go to look for Levitt. Dioyza tries to get through to Hope, telling her that they shouldn’t be killing innocents. Hope tells her that there are no innocents on Bardo.</p>
<p>Jon goes back to the Banquet Hall to help with the wounded and tells Emori that they hate them. This massacre has put them in an awkward place with their people and either way they lean, there’s trouble for them. Making their positions tenuous at best.</p>
<p>Bill and Gabriel sit down for lunch. Gabriel says he still has problems with people who claim to be God. Bill tells him that he never claimed to be God but rather a person who was chosen. A religious debate ensues. Anders comes in and breaks it off. He tells his guards to escort him back to his friends. They disarm him before leaving.</p>
<p>Octavia and the others find Levitt tied up and beaten. He’s bloody but lucid. He tells them Echo killed two people in front of him before he was forced to help her. She used him to access the weapon that killed the Bardoans, J9. Octavia leaves Levitt how Echo left him, gagged and subdued before going to stop Echo from killing everyone on Bardo. But not before she apologises to him.</p>
<p>Jordan tries to make sense of Bill’s logic about the code from the AI and his theory of the last war. He draws similarities from the code/language on the computer in the stone room to Korean. He thinks he might have found a connection. He believes that there might be a slight possibility that there’s one more final test before the code from the AI can be inputted. When he tells Gabriel this, he tells them that if he’s right, Bill should not be that person to take it.</p>
<p>Indra says they can’t trust the other clans. Indra hears Sheidheda reciting the lineage and she dashes out of the room to stop his speech. She finds him surrounded by the clans asking them to bend their knees or die. She tells him that they will never kneel and tells him to honour their tradition, calling for single combat. He tells her that this was exactly what he wanted her to do and he accepts her call.</p>
<p>They take the fight outside, immediately. He wants to return the clans to the old ways. As they fight, Indra pushes his sword into the pond and he charges her, knocking her down. They take their fight into the mad crowd. Indra shouts for them to get out of the way as the blows intensify. He knocks her down once more. He tells her to kneel or die. When she refuses, he readies to kill her until Madi springs off a chair and stops him by slashing him with a sword right across his left eye. Madi’s knocked to the ground and vulnerable to a now enraged and severely injured Sheidheda, Indra intervenes and asks him to spare Madi’s life. If he does, she’ll kneel. He accepts and proclaims his new role as Commander. He tells the crowd to kneel and they do. Madi disappears during his speech. Sheidheda tells one of his men to find her and kill her.</p>
<p>Sheidheda leads half of his men to the skeleton room. He tells them to out the names of all of the founding families and kill them. When one asks about the children, he says they grow up seeking revenge, so they all must die.</p>
<p>Jon, Emori, Madi and the rest of the Faithfuls are hiding in the reactor area. Jon tells them to seal the doors to buy time and safety.</p>
<p>Echo readies the poison to destroy Bardo, preparing to dump it into the water supply but Raven yells at her through the door to stop. This makes her pause as the rest filter into the room. Clarke tells her that this isn’t her. Echo tells her that this isn’t like her (Clarke’s) decisions. It’s vengeance, pure and simple.  Clarke tells her that this isn’t what Bellamy would have wanted. Echo claims that if the roles were reversed and he were alive, he would do the same for someone he lost. Raven mentions their time on the ring and tries to connect to Echo. Raven calls Echo her sister and her sister wouldn’t do this.  Echo moves closer to the water. Raven tells her that she’s not going anywhere so if she drops it, she’ll die too. Then the sobs start and Echo collapses in Raven’s arms, screaming hysterically.</p>
<p>Anders comes in and Dioyza hands him the poison as a truce. He tells them that he is disgusted with their behaviour. Dioyza starts to negotiate. He sentences Echo to 20 years on Penance. Hope lashes out and slits his throat. It was brash and fast. The poison falls out of his hands as he tries to stop the blood from leaving his wound. Hope saves the vial but then she dashes to the pipes with the water and she squeezes a single drop into the water. Acting quickly, Dioyza puts her hand out to stop and catch the poison on her hand rather than the water, saving many innocents. But this starts an immediate chemical reaction on her skin, making her rapidly crystallise. She yells at them to get out! Octavia has to drag Hope out of the room as they watch Dioyza fully crystallise and die.</p>
<p>That’s it! Stay tuned for the next recap!</p>

					<description><![CDATA[<p>3 months earlier… We go back to the beginning of Octavia, Hope, Dioyza, and Echo’s training with Anders on Bardo. During the tour of the facility, they ask about Gabriel, but Anders brushes it off. He leads them to a room that opens to a glimpse of what happened to the Bardoans. It’s a dark landscape with greenish lightning surrounding crystal, stone statues frozen in motion. Anders tell them that this is the enemy they are fighting, it’s an unwinnable [&#8230;]</p>

<p>We go back to the beginning of Octavia, Hope, Dioyza, and Echo’s training with Anders on Bardo. During the tour of the facility, they ask about Gabriel, but Anders brushes it off. He leads them to a room that opens to a glimpse of what happened to the Bardoans. It’s a dark landscape with greenish lightning surrounding crystal, stone statues frozen in motion. Anders tell them that this is the enemy they are fighting, it’s an unwinnable war he’s fighting, intriguing Dioyza to rise to the challenge. They are on board.</p>
<p>At the banquet hall in Sanctum, Nikki orders Emori to be taken away and questioned. Madi fights and weapons are drawn. Nikki approaches telling her that she’s only borrowing her for a little chat. She grabs Emori, leading her to the middle of the room to make an announcement to be broadcasted over the entire compound. She extends an invitation to Russell, Daniel Prime, and Raven Reyes asking them to meet at the palace within the next 20 minutes or hostages will start to die, starting with Emori. She then hands the mic to Emori having coached and threatened her to say what she wants them to hear. Instead, she tries to tell Murphy to not do anything stupid which is exactly what he wants to do because he tries to rush to her aid without even thinking of a way to get her out of there without either of them dying. Thankfully Jackson is with him and he stops him almost immediately after Nikki warns her to stop talking. Jackson tells Murphy that they need a plan. Then Indra comes in asking them what the hell did they do now. Murphy doesn’t answer and just asks where Raven is. She tells them that all they found were bodies and blood, none of them their own people. Murphy tells them that he won’t let Emori die so they turn to the one person who might be able to help. Russell. Or Sheidheda.</p>
<p>They meet Levitt again in training. He informs them that although he will be helping train them, Anders will be the one leading it which he tells them is very rare. Then Anders comes in with four more recruits and tells them that over the next 12 weeks they will train together, learn to trust one another. They’re instructed to choose partners and practice duelling. Dioyza, Hope, Echo, and Octavia all successfully subdue their partners with quick ferocity. Anders smiles and nods in approval before turning his attention to Hope. He mentions Dev who he knows was somewhat of a surrogate father to her on Penance and this angers her.</p>
<p>Levitt tries to convince Anders that maybe they should show them their way of life as they are already accomplished fighters. Anders tells him he’ll take it under advisement, insisting they first need to break their bonds to each other so they’ll fight to protect mankind rather than protect their friends. So they begin the fear simulations to test the strength of these bonds and to determine how far they will need to be broken to succeed in turning them. They all fail except for Echo. He tells Dioyza during her own simulation that she needs to let go of her motherly instincts to believe in the cause to make it successful and if she doesn’t she’ll be right back on Penance. He threatens that it will happen to them all one by one so that they will each grow old and die alone. He suggests to commit to her training before she loses both her sanity and then eventually her life.</p>
<p>Indra and Murphy go to Russell. For him to help, he wants some things from Indra. She gives him protection from the Faithfuls, 20 minutes outside time and demands someone who understands the complexity of chess to play with. They strike a deal and the plan is set. He shows them a map detailing a tunnel that runs straight below the palace, creating the perfect undetectable way to save Emori and the others. He tells them that Alyssa will show them the way.</p>
<p>Levitt and Anders show them a room full of embryos telling them that the women on Bardo do not give birth like Dioyza did with Hope. Instead they can monitor these embryos and cure any birth defects before their births. They have 25 embryos, the same amount of disciples that they’ve killed according to Anders. They don’t have parents either and are raised by the collective which stops them from creating selfish bonds. Next they go to a classroom, but all Hope sees is some serious brainwashing being done. Problems between Hope and Echo rise. As Echo shifts to Anders side, the further Hope is pushed against it. Echo believes in what they are teaching the children and their people and that causes the strife between her and Hope. She tells her that she won’t allow Hope to drag her down with her.</p>
<p>Next is the weapons room. They notice a biohazard door in the far corner and Levitt explains that it’s what took out the Bardoans, the thing that turned them into the crystal creatures they were shown at the beginning of this episode. It was caused by something called Gem9 and that’s what is stored behind that door. It’s a small amount but Levitt tells them that it’s enough to take out everyone on Bardo. Back on task, this lesson is one on teamwork. They partner up once again and are blindfolded. They are told to listen to their partners directions to help them hit the targets with their weapons. Instead, Echo targets her friends and knocks Octavia, Dioyza, and Hope down before turning once again to the target and listens to her partners direction to hit a bullseye. Octavia gives her look before Levitt rushes to help her up, asking if she’s okay. Anders notices this and flashed a look in Levitt’s direction. Anders is impressed by Echo’s performance and it sparks an idea. He believes that it will be perfect control that will make them win.</p>
<p>Later that night, Levitt visits Octavia. He tells her that he’s just there to check in with her, but she calls him out on it. She closes the door and he tells her that she has to pass this last part. He calls her a level 2 at best, while he&#8217;s a level 11. She approaches him until she’s standing right in front of him and then kisses him, before they walk over to the bed.</p>
<p>With four minutes to go, Murphy and Russell arrive at the banquet hall. She immediately notices Raven’s absence, but Murphy assures her that she’s on her way. She makes Murphy step up and address the Faithfuls on the truth about the Daniel Prime and how he isn’t him. He does, then Emori does. Murphy whispers to her telling her that Indra is on her way, they only need to stall. Next is Russell. He says the Primes are gone forever. Nikki still threatens the countdown as Raven isn’t still there and she once again threatens to kill Emori. Murphy tells her that it wasn’t Raven’s fault for what happened to Nikki’s people. He tells her that it was his idea to use them but she doesn’t believe him, knowing that he will say anything to save Emori. She puts a gun to Murphy’s head and that’s when Indra and her reinforcements come in to save them.</p>
<p>Hope goes to Echo with a stolen flamethrower trying to recruit Echo to help burn down Bardo. She tells her that this isn’t the right way to handle things but Hope continues on, heading outside. They fight and Echo throws a knife at Hope’s throat to stop her from killing the collective. Then we see Echo wake up as it was a simulation and the last part of the recruitment process. Echo passed, but the only person who doesn’t pass is Hope herself. During her simulation, it’s Dioyza who wants to kill everyone on Bardo and at first she tries to stop her, hesitant to agree with such aggressive tactics until Dioyza convinces her it’s the best thing to do. When she agrees to kill them, she proclaims that they deserve it. This ends her simulation and she’s informed that she has failed the final test.</p>
<p>Escorted to the stone room, Anders calls Echo his star student so he has bestowed upon her the honour of choosing hope’s punishment. She chooses five years on Penance. He rules it a fair sentence and she is escorted out, screaming for help.</p>
<p>Indra has her guards position outside the banquet hall doors with orders to await further instruction. Russell thanks Alyssa for leading Indra to the hall as she passes him the keys to his cuffs. Zev is angry about the Primes deception, riling up the rest of the Faithfuls. They crowd Sheidheda as Indra leaves the room. She orders the doors closed once more and tells them that whatever they hear the doors must stay closed until she says otherwise. Murphy thinks about what Indra is doing when realises that this is exactly what he wanted all along. He rushes to the door trying to alert the guards that they aren’t hearing the screams of one man but of many. Suspicious, they relent and open the doors to a room full of slaughter. Bodies cover the floor with Russell at the centre standing victoriously.</p>
<p>And that’s it! Stay tuned for next week’s episode!</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Clarke remains stunned over the news about Bellamy. She’s woken by the doors to the stone room opening to reveal Anders and the Shepherd. The Shepherd approaches Clarke and calls himself Bill. Clarke immediately recognises him and why the second dawn symbol was on a burial shroud on Nakara. He’s the ‘crazy cult leader’ who built the bunker. Clarke turns to Nylah and speaks to her in their own language for an ounce of privacy, but he turns his head as if listening to every word. Clarke realises he understands them and stands up for himself upon her description of him as the ‘crazy cult leader’. He claims that what they were wasn’t a cult, but rather a collective of great minds dedicated to the continuation of their species. Bill asks Clarke if his daughter survived because it was his daughter’s language Clarke used to talk to Nylah, which was a language she made up when she was younger, making it unique to her. Becca’s name is thrown around a bit before he calls Clarke, Calliope. He truly believes his daughter is alive in Clarke and she is the key. Gabriel steps in to explain what they mean by the key and it’s simple: the key is what the flame is to the commanders. He’s drawing attention to Becca’s tech and this spurs a flashback to the bunker and provides a glimpse into its life before Clarke and the others used it. It shows Bill and how all of his plans unfolded.</p>
<p>The flashback starts with a young woman watching the news with her friend, Lucy. Becca is on there about how her space mission is going. Her mother comes in and tells her that her father is on the chat for her, but things are tense between Bill and his daughter. Their opinions seem to clash on fundamental issues and he’s interrupted when someone walks in and they have a very abrupt, hushed conversation. He calls her mother in and he uses the word “Anaconda” which means something to her and nothing to his daughter. Bill tells her that they have 20 minutes and that a chopper will be there to meet them shortly. She’s left confused and chasing her mother down for answers in her suddenly panicked state. Her mother finally stops and takes a breath telling her daughter that “anaconda” means that the missiles are in the air. Trying to process this new information and complete change to her life, she asks about her friend Lucy because there’s only two packs ready to go but three people…her mother tells her that she’s not a part of the second dawn and of course that’s when she emerges, interrupting their mad dash. Instead of explaining all of this because its pointless, her mother stabs Lucy with a syringe instantly knocking her out. Stunned yet again, her mother drags her to the chopper just in time to see the missiles fall to the ground below them.</p>
<p>They make it to the bunker just in time. Callie and her mother meet up with her brother, Reese as he helps more and more people get settled. A young man is trying to fight the flood of people urging them to let him out to get his girlfriend. Reese calls for a nearby guard (Tristan) to handle it. The man gets a little further before Tristan captures him in a chokehold, knocking him out.</p>
<p>Later that day, Callie, Reese, and their mother meet up with Bill. He starts to explain his plans and he shows them the anomaly stone. He tells them about the extraordinary things that this stone can do and how it is the answer to their problems. Things are still tense between him and Callie, who runs off after hearing that there’s still room to save people. She runs into a guy with an OG tree crew tattoo that she recognises (this is the same guy as earlier, looking for his girlfriend). Tristan interrupts them before they suit up and open the hatch for others just outside. His weapon is drawn and the man with the tattoo urges him that the woman they hear is his girlfriend, Janie. He makes a move to the hatch in a desperate attempt to save her, but is stopped and subdued by the guards. Callie sees her brother come in and she thinks he’ll help them but she’s wrong. She pleads with him, but he tells her that whoever’s out there isn’t a level 12 or they’d have their own key to get in. They take the man (August) out kicking and screaming.</p>
<p><strong>2 Years Later….</strong></p>
<p>Out on a mission topside, Tristan, Reese, and Callie run into Becca Franko as she emerges from her pod (seen going into space on the news just two years earlier). They observe her as she removes her helmet and breathes in the should be toxic air with ease, before bringing her down to the bunker. Tristan starts to seize from radiation exposure, making them believe that there was a tear in his suit that went unnoticed. Becca bends down and injects him with a radiation immunity shot while Reese went for help. Before he gets back, Callie urges Becca to keep that between them. Becca is shown the stone room where she starts to react and bleed from her nose. According to her, the stone is harmonic, music as mathematics. She reaches out and touches it, making it rotate. A white sphere bursts from the stand and levitates above the stone shrouded in a bright, green glow. Becca offers to alter everyone’s blood lifting the radiation restrictions set upon them to breech the outside world without suits. Bill flat out refuses it. He’s banking on the stone and its travel capabilities to save his flock. He’s adamant about it.</p>
<p>Callie visits Tristan who tells her that he’s doing much better despite everything else that says he should be dead. Callie believes in Becca, but Callie confronts her and says she wants to save everyone like she did with Tristan. Callie notices her implant scar, which she calls her penance but doesn’t explain further. She only tells her that it’s called Alie-2 or the flame, like Prometheus when he stole fire from the gods. Then Becca has a breakthrough. She explains how she was cataloguing the sound and the differing frequencies, realising now that there were seven that were silent. She approaches the stone once again. It forms into the white sphere, but when Becca goes to examine it, it takes her with it before disappearing once again right before Callie’s eyes.</p>
<p>Reese and Bill enter and the room lightens, showing a newly back Becca, kneeling on the floor rocking back forth in prayer. Bill asks her where she went and says something about Judgement Day, along with that they aren’t ready for what’s coming and that they are making a mistake. He tells Reese to stop Becca from approaching the stone once again, thinking the combination would be too deadly. She’s escorted out and this only furthers the rift between Callie and her father. Callie turns and walks away with Becca’s briefcase. She knocks out the guard and opens Becca’s cell, telling her that her brother found the notebook and that they know about the flame. Callie calls them nightbloods and says that August came up with it and they do have others on their side with the alteration. She tells her that her father can’t have the flame because he will use it to find the final code which will wipe out the entire human race. Callie tells her that the AI has to have a host with the blood alteration but that she has to choose wisely. She asks her to promise not to tell them the phrase to activate the flame (goodbye for now in latin). They keep Callie in the cell while they drag Becca to burn her.</p>
<p>Callie demands the AI from Reese with her people and August backing her. Reese tells the disciples to escort them down but they fight it. Callie offers a fight between her and Reese, one on one. He tells her that he won’t go easy on her this time, but she’s not worried because she came prepared and pulls out a gun to shoot him in the shoulder. She tells him that was for Becca and her mother runs over to him to tend to the wound.</p>
<p>They let Callie and her people pass. She injects Reese with the blood alteration and tells her mother that if he comes to his senses that he can find her if he goes west. She tries to do the same thing to her mother, but August interrupts telling them they only have minutes before her father and his followers break through his key pad hack. Her mother tells her to go and she&#8217;ll hold them off. They hug, then Callie runs to the hatch. Bill makes it through into the main room that is now empty except for his wife. She runs over to the door to the hatch seeing how they’re running out of time to get away and they need to shove the door closed, she makes it, and gives the extra push to save her daughter. Then she comes face to face with Bill. He knows that Callie has the AI and that Reese is turning into a nightblood. He opens the door to the hatch room, now empty and shoves her in it, knowing she doesn’t have the blood alteration.</p>
<p>Bill goes through the anomaly. Callie and August and the nightbloods light a fire and celebrate their first night above ground in years. He asks her if she’s worried about it drawing attention and she tells him that she’s actually counting on it.</p>
<p><strong>Back to the present…</strong><strong> </strong></p>
<p>Clarke confirms that Calliope is in there (the flame), but claims that that’s not how things work, drawing her gun aimed at him. She tells him that she’s unsure whether or not she wants to help him seeing as he killed her best friend and then demands her other friends freedom. She tells Gabriel to open the door and Bill tells them to drop their weapons and send in her friends. But when the doors open and the weapons are put down, the three figures in front step forward and take their helmets off, revealing Echo, Hope, and Octavia. This gives the impression that they’ve switched sides and are no longer Clarke’s friends. No words are spoken so it’s unclear of where their loyalties lie now.</p>
<p>And that’s it! Stay tuned for next week’s recap!</p>

There’s a body on the ground covered with a sheet, Anders tells him that it’s Bellamy, but he is never shown, so there&#8217;s no proof that Bellamy is in fact dead.

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>“The Queen’s Gambit” opens with Gabriel waking up in a cell with little time to think before being escorted by four guards. They lead him to the stone room and their leader, Anders. There’s a body on the ground covered with a sheet, Anders tells him that it’s Bellamy, but he is never shown, so there&#8217;s no proof that Bellamy is in fact dead. I’m not going to lie; I hope that his ‘death’ is a ruse because I’m not ready to believe that he’s truly gone. His death was too quick. Anders tells him that they don’t believe in Heaven but rather transcendence. Again is this a hint about Bellamy? We don’t know but if felt like a possible foreshadow of his fate. He asks for Gabriel’s help in exchange for his life. To get out of his own execution, he has to provide Anders with all the information he has on Clarke. When Gabriel questions this he tells him that joining the cypher team will answer all his questions including his obsession with Clarke.</p>
<p>Jackson is looking at Madi’s art. He calls them beautiful. They discuss her panic attack from earlier and as he tries to figure out why it happened, Madi can’t help but watch some of the kids playing soccer, clearly envious of their freedom she didn’t have. Jackson tells her that she no longer has the weight of being the Commander on her shoulders, she can relax. She no longer has to make those tough decisions way above her age. He asks her if he can hold onto some of her art in which she nods before going out towards the field to join the game. This was a really great scene featuring Jackson as something other than the doctor or Miller’s boyfriend. This was all him and I liked this development and inclusion for his character. It worked perfectly with the situation concerning Madi and I think it really helped her because he has no expectations of her like others might (like Clarke, Indra, Gaia etc…). It was a great heart to heart by two characters we don’t see that often anymore.</p>
<p>Emori and Jon are left to babysit The Faithfuls in Indra’s stead. Jon goes to deliver food to Russell, who then goes through his cookie, revealing a note smuggled in. It tips him off about the upcoming Reunification ceremony that Emori/Kaylee Prime is hosting. He convinces Jon to play one game of chess. He tells him that if he plays, he’ll tell him what he wants most: how to be a hero. He says that that must mean something bad is about to happen which Russell only confirms for him. So he sits down and they play.</p>
<p>We see a flashback scene with Echo and Bellamy when they were in space. They talk about weaknesses and Bellamy says his is Octavia and that Echo’s is loyalty. Then they kiss. This was only a memory and after it ends, you see Echo crying on her side while Octavia walks around their shared cell. Octavia tells her that she misses him too and then tells her about the time Lincoln died and how she beat up her brother for it. She tells her that she wished that she had hugged him instead and she tackles her in a tight embrace. Echo tries to fight it at first but then she relents and eases into it. Octavia tells her that she’s family too.</p>
<p>Dioyza and Hope are locked together in a different cell. Hope is trying to plan a way out and Dioyza is too busy angry at Hope for coming after her. She tells her that she’s the parent and she’s the child. It’s not her job to rescue her.</p>
<p>Nelson chats with Nikki at the tavern. She tries to convince him to work together. Emori approaches before anything else can really happen and she tries to tell that she gets it. When he doesn’t believe her, she removes her sleeve showing him her arm and tells him that she knows exactly what it’s like to be left out like a piece of garbage by those you love. She says that she can find his parents and reunite them, but he isn’t interested. He tells her that they can burn for all he cares before storming out of the tavern, leaving his glass at the bar.</p>
<p>Russell comments about Emori asking Jon why he settles for one woman when he can have many. Jon defends her quickly before changing the subject, trying to figure out his motive. Russell calls him predictable.</p>
<p>Dioyza tells Hope about her father and how she wanted more for her daughter. She doesn’t want her following in her footsteps. She wants her to have a different, less violent life than her own. Hope is still trying figure a way out and Dioyza has had enough. She tells her that she can fight her to prove that they can escape without them dying. Dioyza wins. They share a moment and Dioyza tells her that she won’t lose her again.</p>
<p>Echo scars her face, spiralling even further. Octavia wonders why they chose to put them in the same cell when they have many to keep them separated. Echo says they’re recruiting them and sure enough the door opens and they meet with Anders. He asks them if they will, they agree and their training starts tomorrow.</p>
<p>Nelson’s parents show up to the ceremony, but when his father mentions Daniel Prime, she tells him that he’s on his way. As they continue to play chess, Jon realises that Russell is trying to keep him from going to the ceremony after he chooses not to win and go to checkmate. Knowing the ruse is now up, he slams Jon’s head down on the table and threatens to kill him if he makes a noise to alert the guards. Jon remains quiet, having no other choice. He tells Jon that the people respect Daniel much more than they do Kaylee.</p>
<p>Emori tells Nelson that his parents are there and he hesitantly follows her to them. His mother hugs him but then his father blatantly rejects him. He calls him and everyone else an abomination and then he strangles his son. It lasts several moments before Nelson uses a knife and stabs his own father. He falls to the ground, dead. Then Nikki comes in, guns blazing. That’s Russell’s cue and he lets Jon go saying he can now call the guards. Nikki grabs Emori and asks Nelson is he’s with her. He nods and declares that so are his people. He pulls a gun on Emori but Nikki stops him before firing. She tells him that they first make demands and then they get to kill people.</p>
<p>Gabriel’s asking them questions about the anomaly in the stone room. Then the stone turns on saying that it&#8217;s coming from Nakara. Weapons drawn, Clarke and the others emerge into the stone room. Gabriel identifies himself right away to stop any gun fire. He tells Clarke that Bellamy’s dead. She is stunned. Nothing else is said in this episode about it.</p>
<p>Meanwhile, Anders has disappeared to a secret room and he places his hand on a stone table while he chants a short phrase about this shepherd. It opens up to reveal a bearded man in a similar all white outfit. He comments about Anders waking him up early wondering if the war has already begun. Anders responds with “not yet, but now we have the key.”</p>
<p>And that’s it!! Stay tuned for next week’s episode!</p>

<p>June is Pride Month and we are here to discuss all our favourite ships from TV shows! As we are discussing couples, here is a spoiler warning if you haven&#8217;t watched or are halfway through any of the following<em> One Day At A Time</em>,<em> Greys Anatomy</em>, <em>Shadowhunters</em>, <em>Elite</em>, <em>Glee</em>, <em>The 100</em>, <em>Modern Family</em>, <em>The Bold Type</em>, <em>Schitts Creek</em> and, <em>Atypical</em> beware!</p>
<h6><strong>Elena and Syd (One Day At A Time)</strong></h6>
<p>Elena and Syd are both awkward and are trying to figure everything out together. They treat each other with respect and are best friends. Both of them are nerdy, activists, and all around amazing people, this pairing is one we hope lasts till the end of time.</p>
<p><a href="https://i0.wp.com/66.media.tumblr.com/380f35a3ddea74d6873a5d1d41516f4c/tumblr_p372c6r35U1r9dn83o3_500.gif?ssl=1"><img data-recalc-dims="1" fetchpriority="high" decoding="async" class="aligncenter" src="https://i0.wp.com/66.media.tumblr.com/380f35a3ddea74d6873a5d1d41516f4c/tumblr_p372c6r35U1r9dn83o3_500.gif?resize=401%2C223&#038;ssl=1" alt="Elena and Syd (One Day At A Time)" width="401" height="223" /></a></p>
<h6><strong>Callie and Arizona (Grey&#8217;s Anatomy)</strong></h6>
<p>These two have had their fair share of obstacles and they have supported each other through many of their worst times. We see these two fall in and out of love on multiple occasions, but there is no denying that these two are one of the sweetest couples on <em>Grey’s Anatomy</em>.</p>
<p><a href="https://i0.wp.com/66.media.tumblr.com/f7f2ff434c3cb1edd0630d5dba9523ae/tumblr_inline_p8nmr57i0d1tdt60w_540.gif?ssl=1"><img data-recalc-dims="1" decoding="async" class="aligncenter" src="https://i0.wp.com/66.media.tumblr.com/f7f2ff434c3cb1edd0630d5dba9523ae/tumblr_inline_p8nmr57i0d1tdt60w_540.gif?resize=400%2C235&#038;ssl=1" alt="Callie and Arizona (Greys Anatomy)" width="400" height="235" /></a></p>
<h6><strong>Magnus and Alec (Shadowhunters)</strong></h6>
<p>Magnus and Alec had everybody swooning and crying, these two defied the odds and made their relationship work even when the entire Shadowhunter world was stacked against them. Both Alec and Magnus are such kind people and always try to understand and accept each other.</p>
<p><a href="https://i0.wp.com/66.media.tumblr.com/00260448aff26528f0a677466d320b7f/a9199d5b04795d84-dc/s500x750/390c09ba119c04db212bd319de700cec0f7f9099.gif?ssl=1"><img data-recalc-dims="1" decoding="async" class="aligncenter" src="https://i0.wp.com/66.media.tumblr.com/00260448aff26528f0a677466d320b7f/a9199d5b04795d84-dc/s500x750/390c09ba119c04db212bd319de700cec0f7f9099.gif?resize=400%2C225&#038;ssl=1" alt="Magnus and Alec (Shadowhunters)" width="400" height="225" /></a></p>
<h6><strong>Ander and Omar (Elite)</strong></h6>
<p><em>Elite</em> is filled with drama and relationships falling apart, but these two are one that everybody is rooting for. Ander and Omar are both trying to come to terms with their sexuality and they have a lot of death surrounding them too. These two have a passionate relationship that everybody hopes will work out in the end.</p>
<p><a href="https://i0.wp.com/media1.giphy.com/media/fu7e31PGPMABnoSS9s/giphy.gif?ssl=1"><img data-recalc-dims="1" decoding="async" class="aligncenter" src="https://i0.wp.com/media1.giphy.com/media/fu7e31PGPMABnoSS9s/giphy.gif?resize=400%2C225&#038;ssl=1" alt="Ander and Omar (Elite)" width="400" height="225" /></a></p>
<h6><strong>Kurt and Blaine (Glee)<br />
</strong></h6>
<p>Kurt and Blaine gave us so many beautiful duets and such swoon worthy moments. They were so sweet and one of the most iconic couples on <em>Glee</em>.<strong><br />
</strong></p>
<p><a href="https://i0.wp.com/66.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_me0fgjdjI01qf9iego1_500.gif?ssl=1"><img data-recalc-dims="1" decoding="async" class="aligncenter" src="https://i0.wp.com/66.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_me0fgjdjI01qf9iego1_500.gif?resize=400%2C188&#038;ssl=1" alt="Kurt and Blaine (Glee)" width="400" height="188" /></a></p>
<h6><strong>Clarke and Lexa (The 100)</strong></h6>
<p>These two were such a surprising pair that none of us knew we needed! They came from completely different sides, but they understood each other and we really needed more for the two.</p>
<p><a href="https://i0.wp.com/i.pinimg.com/originals/72/cd/6f/72cd6f3d68fab65958fd506c93c46d91.gif?ssl=1"><img data-recalc-dims="1" decoding="async" class="aligncenter" src="https://i0.wp.com/i.pinimg.com/originals/72/cd/6f/72cd6f3d68fab65958fd506c93c46d91.gif?resize=401%2C203&#038;ssl=1" alt="Clarke and Lexa (The 100)" width="401" height="203" /></a></p>
<h6><strong>Mitch and Cam (Modern Family)</strong></h6>
<p>Mitch and Cam may be polar opposites, but these two are perfect for each other. They are the best parents and always manage to make us laugh. Also they gave us the iconic “The Lion King” scene so what is not to love?</p>
<p><a href="https://i0.wp.com/thumbs.gfycat.com/UnitedColossalCockroach-size_restricted.gif?ssl=1"><img data-recalc-dims="1" decoding="async" class="aligncenter" src="https://i0.wp.com/thumbs.gfycat.com/UnitedColossalCockroach-size_restricted.gif?resize=401%2C189&#038;ssl=1" alt="Mitch and Cam (Modern Family)" width="401" height="189" /></a></p>
<h6><strong>Kat and Adena (The Bold Type)</strong></h6>
<p>These two are badass women on their own and make one powerful couple. They have had their fair share of ups and downs, but these two have a healthy relationship and communicate very well.</p>
<p><a href="https://i0.wp.com/freeform.azureedge.net/showms/2017/213/de34f2e2-b0bd-4301-8469-1ba1abefb4c8.gif?ssl=1"><img data-recalc-dims="1" decoding="async" class="aligncenter" src="https://i0.wp.com/freeform.azureedge.net/showms/2017/213/de34f2e2-b0bd-4301-8469-1ba1abefb4c8.gif?resize=401%2C226&#038;ssl=1" alt="Kat and Adena (The Bold Type)" width="401" height="226" /></a></p>
<h6><strong>Patrick and David (Schitts Creek) </strong></h6>
<p>These two are the sweetest and most pure couple. They make each other laugh, are patient and open, and are all around adorable! They even make working together look cute!</p>
<p><a href="https://i0.wp.com/media1.tenor.com/images/4c2e6b64bd6ec8192a6f20af657001da/tenor.gif?ssl=1"><img data-recalc-dims="1" decoding="async" class="aligncenter" src="https://i0.wp.com/media1.tenor.com/images/4c2e6b64bd6ec8192a6f20af657001da/tenor.gif?resize=398%2C195&#038;ssl=1" alt="Patrick and David (Schitts Creek)" width="398" height="195" /></a></p>
<h6><strong>Casey and Izzie (Atypical) </strong></h6>
<p>These two went from enemies, to best friends to something more. They are both still trying to figure out what their relationship means but we can’t wait to see more of these two in the next season of <em>Atypical</em>.</p>
<p><a href="https://i0.wp.com/66.media.tumblr.com/4f68019b0b6179bd6eae32032c08abfb/9071b881e07b3bee-f6/s500x750/27b404c58fea0616aa06c916d95b03fc49389362.gif?ssl=1"><img data-recalc-dims="1" decoding="async" class="aligncenter" src="https://i0.wp.com/66.media.tumblr.com/4f68019b0b6179bd6eae32032c08abfb/9071b881e07b3bee-f6/s500x750/27b404c58fea0616aa06c916d95b03fc49389362.gif?resize=400%2C185&#038;ssl=1" alt="Casey and Izzie (Atypical)" width="400" height="185" /></a></p>
<p>Because there are so many amazing LGBTQ+ couples, here are some honourable mentions; Emily and Maya from <em>Pretty Little Liars</em>, Daryl and Josh from <em>Crazy Ex-Girlfriend</em>, Corey and Mason from <em>Teen Wolf,</em> Ola and Lily from <em>Sex Education</em>, Noah and Shane from <em>Faking It,</em> and Santanna and Britney from <em>Glee</em>. Of course there are so many more couples and these are just based on what I have watched!</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span lang="EN-CA">Nakara</span><span lang="EN-CA"> opens with showing where Dioyza split up with Octavia after their capture and subsequent arrival to Bardo. She endures the same procedures as Octavia in the white room but unlike her, Dioyza continues to block her memories through her use of fear. They can’t get past those walls so they realise that they need to break her in order to release her hold on her memories. They try several things to no avail. She even goes as far as biting the throat of a guard when she pretends to choke on her food just so he releases her. She extracts his eye and uses it to bypass the retinal scanners at the doors in the compound furthering her escape from Bardo.</span></p>
<p><span lang="EN-CA">During her escape, she runs into her daughter Hope, Echo, Octavia, and Gabriel. Echo is in a particularly bad mood and when Dioyza mentions it Octavia informs her that Bellamy is dead, hence the mood. Dioyza hugs her daughter first, then Octavia before they all flee as a group to the outside. They run into Levitt, now a janitor moping the floors and he warns her. He tells her that they should go to the oxygen farm because they won’t be followed there. They share an emotionally charged look before he tells her that what he did to save her was all worth it. Then he tells her to punch him already and run. </span></p>
<p><span lang="EN-CA">They run into a guy returning from outside with a bundle of flowers. He tells them that they can’t go out that way because they don’t have rebreathers. Alarms sound. Echo kills the guy after Octavia mentions Levitt by name saying that she trusts him and his plan. Gabriel gets angry with Echo’s rash decision to take the man’s life. Dioyza understands it. Before they can make a decision, Gabriel knocks them out and surrenders to the guards. They knock him out next.</span></p>
<p><span lang="EN-CA">Indra is trying to deal with the Russell situation which might be simple but in her case, it isn’t as she now knows the true mind behind the face. She’s dealing with Shanheda. This only complicates the martyrdom that Russell left in his wake. There&#8217;s trouble either way if he lives or dies. Either way she can’t win. He’s even luring her loyal guards to bend the rules to his advantage. This shows her how easy her power could fall. She informs them that from now on only Trikru can guard Russell. He sees this as fear from Indra, his deductions lead him to believe that she is afraid that her people will turn on her and follow him.</span></p>
<p><span lang="EN-CA">Nelson goes to see Russell with a smuggled knife ready to kill him, finally. However, he proves to be much more of a challenge when they fight, but Nelson loses. Russell offers his hand to help him up which he accepts before telling him that he is no longer Russell. First baffled, he asks how this happened. They talk about the mind drives and how two minds can’t share a body and he won the battle for it, killing Russell in the process. He tells him about the theft and how there’s a common enemy between him and the suspected convicts. He tells him to make allies with them to take down Indra.</span></p>
<p><span lang="EN-CA">Indra approaches Jon drinking at the tavern and enlists his help to the find the stolen weapons. The convicts are suspected with Hatch’s wife as the ring leader, so they take the direct approach and they ask her. She doesn’t ask what was stolen which is odd and when they ask her what she wants (determined that this is all a charade and she was the one behind the theft) she tells them she wants her husband back. Now riled up, she calls out Jon and Raven. She’s angry that Raven knew that Jon had the blood alteration making him safer to fix the reactor than her husband, accusing Raven of cold-blooded murder because she knew they wouldn’t make it out alive. She tells them that Raven needs to watch her back.</span></p>
<p><span lang="EN-CA">A boy approaches Madi on a bench and takes an interest in her drawings. They talk for a little about them before another kid (roughly the same age as them) comes over and asks them if they want to play a game together with the rest of his friends. She wants to but before she can, Indra approaches her. They boy who sat with her just tells her to find him later before rejoining the game and walking away to give them space. Now alone, Indra informs her of the missing weapons situation and tells her that she needs a Commander to help solve this. She acknowledges her reluctance, but hopes that Madi will help anyway.</span></p>
<p><span lang="EN-CA">Jon, Emori, and Jackson try to stop Indra’s plan to use Madi as the Commander to reach her people and lead them. They convince Madi not to and run off, apologising to Indra. Jackson says it’s a panic attack and goes after her to make sure she’s alright. Indra tells them that Russell is Shanheda and she should be the one to lead her people. She tells them that she’s just a soldier, a warrior, but Emori says that’s exactly why she should be the leader. A little shaky but with no other option, she goes to confront her people. Jon and Emori watch from the sidelines. One person speaks out, riling the others up. She fights him and wins. She tells them that they are Wonkru and spares him.</span></p>
<p><span lang="EN-CA">Clarke finds a body half buried in the snow, making them realise that this is a planet for the dead. They believe the planet’s purpose is to store one’s dead. Raven uses the mask to locate the stone on the planet, leading them on a 2 kilometre walk. It leads them to a tunnel where the temperature keeps climbing. It’s noticeably warmer as they get closer and closer to the stone, while hearing noises making them pause several times. Raven (who’s leading the charge because she wears the suit with the tracking interface) is attacked by a spider-like creature, damaging the helmet severely before she grabs her knife and stabs it, making it flee. They ask her what it was, but she doesn’t know and they pause only briefly for her to regain some composure. When they turn around, Nylah notices the tunnel they just came from has disappeared. It has now become just another wall in the cave. This is when Raven and Clarke are separated from the group with no way of getting back. They realise that the walls are shifting. On closer inspection, Raven deduces that this cave is a living organism and they’re it’s next meal.</span></p>
<p><span lang="EN-CA">Facing imminent death, Raven asks Clarke how she can stay so strong despite everything that they’ve faced. Clarke tells her that the people they’ve killed was to keep others safe. Raven’s guilt about the people she killed fixing the reactor comes back up to the surface and she tells her that she’s afraid before breaking down further. They hug. Meanwhile the others are greeted yet again by those spider like creatures. They shoot them making the walls shift once again. This time they open up, reuniting Raven and Clarke with them once more.</span></p>
<p><span lang="EN-CA">They reach the stone in the cave but the suit interface from the earlier attack is broken making it difficult to focus on the right planet to jump to. As she tries to pinpoint it Miller notices a symbol on another dead body. Nylah says it’s the mark of the Second Dawn from Polis. They find that strange. Raven gets the link established just in time and they go through. Weapons hot. Having no clue what will greet them on the other side.</span></p>
<p><span lang="EN-CA">And that’s it! They tuned for the next episode!</span></p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This episode explains all of the time travelling phenomena with Penance, Hope, and Octavia’s disappearance that marked the end of last season. Stay sharp because this was a whirlwind of time jumping and it may sound confusing at first, but this episode did a decent job filling in all these lingering questions.</p>
<p>&#8216;Welcome To Bardo&#8217; opens with Dioyza and Octavia’s arrival to this new mysterious location through the anomaly. Dioyza is taken away and Octavia fights her way out of their grip. She runs around the empty halls until she finds a door that she can open, which leads her to the woods. She’s being pursued by at least 10 people in suits, but she doesn’t get too far before she’s knocked on her ass by an invisible suit. Disoriented and on the ground, the suit reveals himself and he welcomes her to Bardo.</p>
<p>There are problems at camp over Russell’s life rise yet again. The Faithfuls (run by Trey) demand Russell’s return and Nelson is still angry that Russell is still breathing. Trey tells Indra that they will sacrifice a life every hour until they have him back. Just to prove his point, a girl lights herself on fire. Nelson runs over to try and save her, but she’s already gone. Jackson patches him up saying they were only minor burns as they discuss this new predicament in the Med Bay. Emori is still weak from the radiation and they come up with a plan to use a Prime to smooth things over with Trey, Emori gets up but stumbles leaving Murphy no choice but to step in and diffuse the situation himself as Prime Daniel.</p>
<p>They interrogate Octavia while toying with her memories, trying to learn as much as possible. They learn about Bellamy first and then Murphy. The assistant, Levitt, is hesitant to interrogate so aggressively, fearful of damaging her brain. Being left alone, he pleads to Octavia to cooperate because it will only get worse. They make a deal, she’ll show him what he wants to know in exchange for her saving Hope. After seeing her memories, he tells her that she’s not a killer, that her heart is pure. She questions why he’s so interested in Clarke when he lets it slip that he’s eager to know about her. Hope (disguised in a suit and helmet) interrupts before more can be said and she threatens him. He escorts them to the stone room and hands Octavia her sweater after noticing her shiver.</p>
<p>They’re almost ready to send Octavia back when they realise that without the helmet, Octavia will lose her memories when she goes through the anomaly, but Hope also needs it to save her mother still stuck on Bardo. Levitt comes up with a solution and grabs some old tech hidden in the lockers and it captures a person’s code through their eyes and imprints it as a tattoo on another in a form of memory recovery that will help them reconnect remotely (through time/through anomalies). This way Hope can save her mother and help Octavia escape. But first they need to make this look real, so Octavia punches then kicks Levitt to make it appear he tried to stop them. She says may we meet again to Levitt before going back through the stone and back to the time she first went through it. This point in time explains how Octavia got the tattoo on her back.</p>
<p>Murphy talks to Trey at the tavern door, but he’s easily distracted when he sees the next intended sacrifice, a young boy. He’s outraged and tells them to let the boy go, he tries to find reason from his father, but it’s pointless. He’s devoted to the cause. Unsettled, he tells all the children to come with him. He’s stopped by someone named Zev who tries to show Murphy’s ruse as Daniel Prime is a lie. He fails the test when he can’t state the four pillars and Trey comes up behind him, knocking him to the ground. Russell and Kaylee Prime come in just in time to save Murphy. He tells them to release him at once, which is convincing and they do as he says. Then he tells them to kneel or die. This sparks something in Indra and she’s stunned because she’s heard that exact phrasing before. She speaks a phrase in a foreign language and he reacts. Prime Russell wouldn’t know or react to this proving her theory. She knows where the code went when they killed the flame, it’s in Russell and killing him isn’t an option. They talk in the skeleton room surrounded by past primes before Jackson, Nelson and a few others come trickling in. They hold him down as they extract the flame from Russell’s neck. No pain meds administered as per Indra’s instructions. For Abby.</p>
<p>In the present, Hope, Echo, and Gabriel arrive in the stone room in Bardo. Hope kills the guards stationed inside to Gabriel’s dismay. They’re counting on Levitt to help them again like he did with Octavia. They have only 30 minutes for their plan to work and extract both Bellamy and Dioyza. With 27 minutes left, they reach the room Octavia was interrogated in, which is where they hope to find Levitt, but they’re pulled away before they can go in and are escorted with others to some spectacle. It’s a speech being performed by their leader, Anders. While they listen, Gabriel makes a worthy discovery about the stones. He realises that a stone must be on Earth because Anders said that “the stone delivered them” meaning they aren’t from Eligius. Hope disappears as they come to terms with this new information. Echo frantically looks for her, worried of what she might do and she’s right to do so. She catches her with a blade in hand as she tries to approach Anders. She stops her before any damage can be done thankfully and Echo talks her down and they go back to their plan.</p>
<p>7 days prior, in the stone room, Hope is caught and Anders is telling her that Clarke is the key to everything. He tasks some suits to retrieve Clarke Griffin. Once that’s done, he tells the leader of the team to terminate Hope. Hope is told she has to stab Octavia to bring her back to Bardo in order to save her mother. This scene explains why Hope did this to Octavia back in Gabriel’s tent upon first meeting them.</p>
<p>It is revealed that it was Levitt who embedded the “trust Bellamy” note in Hope’s arm. He tells Octavia to beat the machine. Anders comes in saying her brother is in the stone room. She tells Anders to let him go and she’ll talk. There’s an explosion and blood splatters across her face. This makes it appear that Bellamy was hurt/killed in the blast. Octavia is sobbing his name, but no body or shot of the part that exploded is shown. He may have been able to escape through the anomaly which caused the blast, but for now, we don’t know.</p>
<p>In the present, Echo, Hope, and Gabriel find Octavia strapped to the chair and are privy to this scene from Octavia’s memory. Echo loses it after it ends. She takes the new assistant (not Levitt- where did he go?) and starts hitting him, viciously. They try to stop her, but she only escalates. She stabs him with the machine basically impaling him.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><em>Hesperides </em>opens with Hope moments after her mother, Dioyza, and Aunty O (Octavia) are taken by the Disciples. A montage of Hope’s life after this event flashes before us and we see her threaten a new prisoner who approaches her cabin. Initially she fends him off and stays near the outer ring of the garden, but then he eats from a plant that makes him ill. He falls over in pain and Hope  nurses him back to health and they grow close. He becomes her new parental figure and soon he starts to teach her a new set of skills: knife throwing. They make a plan to use his absolution day to rescue her mother and Aunty O by stealing their suits and using the anomaly to get to Bardo, but it doesn’t go that smoothly. Hope hesitates and he dies. This is the man in that skeleton graveyard that Hope, Echo, and Gabriel came across in episode 2.</p>
<p>Clarke, Gaia, Miller, and Nylah surround a disciple lying atop a table with their mask completely covering their identity. Jordan comes in with one of the people from the compound who’s claiming he saw another one just outside the perimeter and he’s asking for Clarke by name. But first things first, figuring out the helmet. Clarke goes to talk to Raven who’s still taking the nuclear reactor situation to heart. She’s drowning in grief and figuring out how this mask works becomes her focus. When she initially starts to work on it with the aid of Jordan, it opens quickly, however the face she sees is impossible. It’s Hatch. The man who died saving them all from the overheating nuclear reactor. Raven figures out how the helmet works by using her head. Literally. She realises to use the helmet you have to be wearing it so that’s what she does. We see an interface filled with symbols and space coordinates.</p>
<p>Clarke heads over to meet with this mysterious man at the fence. He tells her that they believe her to be the key to winning the last war mankind will ever wage. He wants her help and asks her to meet at Gabriel’s cabin where the anomaly stone is located.</p>
<p>Back on Skyring, Echo is having a difficult time adjusting to her 5-year mission to save Bellamy. The man they met at the graveyard approaches them while she’s in the garden, initially hesitant he speaks to Echo and she tells him that he can plant the seeds he brought for Hope over in the garden bed, but when she leaves, he is spooked by Gabriel coming back from the woods. Although he runs off, Echo has a new lease on the mission and she plans to use Hope to lure him out once again. She leverages his feelings for Hope to their advantage and the plan works. He comes to Hope when he hears her screaming for help in the lake. They bring him in and share a meal. He offers to bury Dev for Hope, to honour him properly. They think he’s coming around, but at the end of the meal, he chooses to leave. They learn his name as well. It’s Orlando.</p>
<p>Echo, Gabriel, and Hope continue to practice building up their speed and efficiency so they can take on the Disciples and save their friends. Orlando interrupts in the middle of Echo arguing with Gabriel. Patience is not her strong suit and this episode definitely showcases that. She confronts Orlando, frustrated and angry about this slow plan, she ends up having her ass kicked and the three of them have to sleep outside with Orlando winning the cabin. He starts to train them so that they’ll be ready in time for his Absolution Day. They plan to use Orlando as a hostage to trap and steal the suits from the Disciples who come for him. They realise it’s a trap, but it’s too late. They incapacitate most of them but Hope kills one to save Echo. When they remove the mask and reveal a young girl, there’s a noticeable reaction from Orlando. Seeing this, Echo goes to the others, killing each one, drastically changing their plan. Gabriel calls her out on it when she turns the knife on Orlando. They’ve grown close to Orlando and Gabriel tries to insist that he’s their friend, but she won’t listen. She thinks his loyalty for his people will outshine his friendship with them and ultimately make him turn against them and she won’t let that happen, not when she’s so close to saving Bellamy. Gabriel doesn’t agree. She gives Orlando her knife and she tells Gabriel that they have to do this. They leave Orlando there where he will be stranded amongst his dead friends.</p>
<p>The meeting with the Disciples tells Clarke that her friends are on a planet meant for penance. He informs her that they’ve killed five of his people already and sent another one to commit suicide (Orlando). She pulls a gun on him. He tells her that in time she’ll serve the shepherd but before he can elaborate Jordan interrupts and provides a worthy distraction for them to take the Disciples down. And he did it with the help of Raven sporting one of those fancy suits hiding in plain sight. Raven dives further into the technology behind the mask to see about this planet. She discovers four possibilities and chooses one at random. Gaia volunteers to stay behind to deal with the retaliation from the Disciples and to protect Madi. They leave and then seconds after Gaia is struck off the ladder by an invisible force. She wakes up some time later and sees them fully visible messing around with the anomaly stone.</p>
<p>Raven and the others emerge on the other side of the anomaly and where they are welcomed by an icy, dark tundra completely void of any people. Believing this to be the wrong planet they soon come to the realisation that without an anomaly stone on this planet they’re stranded.</p>
<p>And that’s it! Stay tuned for next week’s episode!</p>
