What does it mean to be good?
Its a question that philosophers and the characters ofThe 100 will debate endlessly.
So Id consider this a win for the good guys.

But that doesnt mean everyone got out scot-free… (Side note: Did we ever learn what happened to the actual Eligius III ship?
Shouldnt it be on Planet Alpha somewhere?)
Indra realizes pretty quickly that this isnt really Clarke and Abby, and shes not ready to back down.

But when Gaia slightly shakes her head, she lets them onboard.
Wonkru can either go with them in cryo peacefully or die right now.
But Russell and Simone take them out before they can do much damage.
Simone is ready to put a bullet in Madi when Clarke steps in front of her.
She tells Madi that no one gives orders except them and then knocks her out.
Before leaving the room, Clarke whispers to Gaia that they must save Madi and shell handle the rest.
Armed with Rebeccas book, Raven can get to work.
Outside the room, Russell is terrified by how loyal Madis people are.
But Caleb Prime says hes more worried about Planet Beta not being survivable.
Well, I guess this explains where their ship went.
(But Im going to need to know more about these other teams ASAP!)
They wake up bound and gagged in the tavern.
A woman dressed in religious garb tells Xaviers sister, Layla, Your blood or the blood of Sanctum.
When Layla refuses Sanctums blood, she slices her throat with a knife.
She goes to Miller next and he begrudgingly accepts a sip of the blood cup.
The woman Ive decided to call the Prime Priestess says shes purifying Sanctum.
There isnt time for Murphy to process that though because hes got to get his friends to safety.
Luckily, Gabriel is at the gates of the palace to get them all inside in time.
Back on Eligius IV, Simone is ready to wipe all the pod people.
Russell says he checked before wiping her, and shes definitely Simone.
She pulls a gun on them and Russell begins to cry.
Believe it or not, I am sorry for your loss, Clarke tells them and runs away.
Either they let him live in Madi, or they have to destroy the flame.
The program starts executing, but Russell stops it when he comes in with his guards and unplugs Madi.
Simone is doing her part of the plan: tracking Josies mind drive to find Clarke on the ship.
But Clarke had anticipated this.
Shes strapped herself in next to the airlock doors.
She tells them to put down their weapons or shell float them all.
Just then, Simone turns her gun on her people.
She tells Clarke shes been pretending to be Simone, but its still Abby in there.
When Simone starts to turn her gun again, Clarke pulls the airlock switch.
They all float out, but Simone grabs hold of Clarke.
With tears running down her face, Clarke has to push her mothers body out into space.
From the command deck, Russell sees his family floating and hes ready for blood.
He goes for Madi, but Sheidheda is in full control.
Next thing you know, Russell is walking into the mess hall with Madiand her entire armyat his side.
Refusing to believe Madi is lost for good, Clarke puts a gun to her own head.
She tells Madi that she loves her and begs her to come back.
She says shell pull the trigger in 3… 2… and Madi wakes up.
Take the Prime and his men, the commander orders.
Madi has just enough time to make it to Clarke before Sheidheda fights her for control again.
Hes strangling her in the flame and shes seizing in real life.
They rush her back to the med bay so Raven can attempt to pull the kill switch.
Once more with feeling, Raven says in an A+Buffyreference.
And this time it works the code is wiped.
But Madi isnt waking up.
Raven realizes its because she still has the flame in her head.
Clarke tries to cut it out, but the scalpel is shaking in her hand.
(I feel like this is reminiscent of an Abby/Clarke moment, but I cant remember when.
Help me out, commenters.)
Jackson takes over, and once the flame is out of Madi, she wakes up.
The bad news comes right after.
Niylah notices the computer says, Upload complete, which means we may not be done with Sheidheda yet.
Stay tuned for that in season 7 (a.k.a.the final season).
Back at the palace, the gang tries to rally Jordan.
They get to him in time, but hes still in a trance.
Bellamy doesnt understand why these people are still fighting like this when they know the truth.
Octavia explains that if they accept the truth it means their lives were for nothing.
Its why I burnt the farm, she reveals.
But Gabriel thinks they can use this blind faith to their advantage he just needs Murphy to help him.
The plan is simple: go back to the tavern and get the Children of Gabriel out.
But Murphy says this isnt their fight anymore; he got his own people out, so hes done.
Octavia says she cant let them die, so she signs up to go fight.
Never one to be left out, Murphy decides to go.
If I die, youre bringing me back, he says to Gabriel, who says not a chance.
Murphy and Gabriel approach the tavern together.
He tells the priestess that they both need adjustments.
Murphy tells Zev that something went wrong in his resurrection, which is why his memory is bad.
As they prep Murphy and Gabriel for their brainwashing, the priestess walks out and boards up the door.
Then she says, We purify Sanctum through fire, and starts dousing the place with gasoline.
Octavia knocks her out (and luckily is wearing a long, fireproof jacket!).
As they assess the damage, Gabriel notices a tattoo on Octavias back.
Its a replica of the anomaly stone, which hes been studying for 150 years.
Hes not sure what it means, but she is.
It means I have to go back, Jack Shephard Octavia says.
but I wouldnt have been mad about that).
Whats actually inside the hatch is a spiral sculpture floating in the air.
Its covered in symbols that match the ones on Os back.
Only her tattoos have some letters in red, which Echo says must be a code.
Gabriel touches the corresponding letters and leaves the last one, an O, for Octavia to press.
When she does, the anomaly flare encompasses the entire area.
They go back above ground, and without seeing anything, Octavia says, Shes here.
And sure enough, a woman approaches the tent.
Diyozas as-of-a-few-days-ago-unborn daughter has anomaly symbol tattoos on her face.
She says she couldnt get out of it and he has my mother before hugging Octavia.
Octavia says, Be quick and tell him its done, right before Hope stabs her in the stomach.
She falls into Bellamys arms.
And then she disappears.
Hope passes out into Gabriels arms, but theres no sight of Octavia anywhere.
The 100writers have never messed around with their finales, and this one is certainly no different.
