All my fears that Bellamy Blake wasactuallydead were finally put to rest in Etherea.
You know the one, where Bellamy Blake died?
And where did he end up?
A lovely little place called Etherea.
Bellamy gets spit out into the woods a few feet from the conductor.
Of course, they fight.
Bellamy breaks the guys leg and slashes his face, but stops short of smashing his head in.
He attempts to climb a small section of it and decides he needs help.
Now, if Bellamy or The Man ever mentioned the mans name, I totally missed it.
First up is resetting The Mans leg, which sounds horrendous and looks even worse.
(RIP, Pike!
And the Ark!)
He also keeps himself busy by reading Bill Cadogans cult bible,Shepherds Passage.
when he left his daughter behind on Earth).
Bill had climbing gear and equipment.
Bellamy and The Man just have handmade ropes.
They hike until they get high enough to where theres snow.
He goes it alone and nearly freezes in the snow.
The Man finds him and brings him into a cave he found.
This is the Cave of Ascent, which Bill named in his bible.
The Man says this is where Bill found a civilization that transcended.
That their mortal forms rose, and this was all that was left behind.
And Bellamy says exactly what Im thinking: This makes no sense.
Bill takes him back into the room with the beings, where Bellamy sees his mother.
She tells him, Go to the light, Bellamy.
The light is the way.
And when he opens his eyes, the snow is gone and the sun is out.
The Man thinks this means theyre worthy.
I think it means theyre dehydrated.
Whatever it means, they keep up the climb.
(Missed opportunity to useThe ClimbinThe 100soundtrack?
I think so.)
I felt like I was watchingVertical Limitthere for a minute.
Bellamy makes it to a ledge just as The Man loses his grip.
As the rope frays and he hangs in the balance, The Man says to cut him free.
But Bellamy refuses, they both start quoting scripture for strength and he pulls him up.
The Man explains they have to jump off the cliff to go through it.
(Okay, now this feels likeIndiana Jones and the Last Crusade.)
But they make it through to the other side: the Stone Room on Bardo.
The Shepherd is there and welcomes Bellamy back.
My shepherd, Bellamy says as he bows before the Shepherd.
Theyre all in disbelief.
Octavia and Echo make a run at go to him, but guards draw their guns on them.
Clarke is the closest and she reaches out to hug him.
Hold she has the key, the Shepherd commands.
The flame was destroyed.
What have you done?
And who have you become?
The look of betrayal in Clarkes eyes was devastating and I cant handle too many more episodes of that.
