The 100 delivers one of its strongest episodes to date.
Whose side do you choose?
ThisThe 100review contains spoilers.
Kane has been very clear in his support of working with the Grounders, not against them.
Your feelings about his actions in this episode speaks a lot about whether youre Team Kane or Team Pike.
Escalating the violence will only result in more bloodshed for both sides.
So, yes, Im Team Kane.
But if were to learn anything from historyand Im paraphrasing herea camp divided against itself cannot stand.
In some ways, the war within is already lost if no one can trust their fellow man.
Of course, Pike is right to suspect Kane, whom we already know is leading the secret resistance.
As Kane says in tonights episode, murder, treasonthats not what their cause is about.
Not yet, at least.
His unwillingness to mow down Bellamy with the rover is not a flaw, though, its a strength.
Like Kane, that Bellamy follows his heart is not a sign of weakness.
He can see for himself that Pike is too single-minded and too driven to comprehend the monster hes become.
Kane may be guilty of treason, but he doesnt deserve to die.
But there was more to this episode than the power struggle between Pike and Kane.
Raven is also battling herself, even though she doesnt know it at first.
Every high and low, gone now.
He wants to remember the small yet important things, like holding her hand.
In the end, Raven realizes that she needs to remember the small but important things, too.
Abby was right to question the biological changes wrought by the chips.
In defying Alie by leaving the chip-maker in Pikes office, Raven is able to break the A.I.
control over her will.
Like Bellamy, he is acting in the interest of the greater good and the camps overall survival.
But as it turns out, hes grappling with guilt over Sinclairs arrest.
Monty may be quiet, but hes complicated, too.
Still waters run deep.
It certainly doesnt help matters that his mother is Team Pike all the way.
At some point down the road there will be an ugly confrontation between Monty and his mother.
Tonights episode marks the seasons midway point.
It also marks a three-week hiatus.
