Blood must have blood … or does it?
Every time he spoke tonight, it was as if he was intentionally recalling a terrible moment in history.
Colonizing an already inhabited land while killing the native population?Check.

Interning people just because of where theyre from?Check, check.
In Watch the Thrones, newly christened Chancellor Pike promised he would finish what he started, i.e.
meet Indras peacekeeping army outside Arkadia with automatic weapons.
In Hakeldama, we see Bellamy, Pike, and the Farmers coming back from outside the gates.
Theyre covered in blood, but there are no casualties from the Sky People.
Abby doesnt understand how they all returned against an army of 300.
The answers simple: Pike and Co. killed them in their sleep.
As if nothing just happened, Pike addresses his people as chancellor: This land is ours now.
(ApparentlyWoody Guthries lyricsdid not endure the apocalypse.)
He goes on to say that any person who resists them will be met by force.
The field outside the Sky Nations camp is littered with bodies; the only surviving person is Indra.
She says Bellamy let her live so she could pass on a message: Skaikru rejects the coalition.
This is their land now.
We can leave, or we can die.
Lexa agrees but has her troops on the way just in case.
Octavia quickly escapes to Lexas camp, where she goes straight to Indras side.
And Clarke is starting to realize how much she missed in her time away.
The feelings behind Octavias words have to be more than just resentfulness for Clarke leaving.
But regardless of all that, Octavia agrees to help Clarke get back into Arkadia.
War is complex Im not about to begin to delve into whats right and wrong during times of conflict.
So Bellamy puts the Sky Guard jacket back on.
Then promptly runs into Kane and Lincoln, who arent exactly happy with him.
You murdered innocent people; is that how you are now?
NEXT: As if a massacre werent enough… (I might have blacked out from rage while watching this scene.)
So angry that he picks a fight and ends up interned himself.
(Later, Miller sneaks medicine from Abby into the internment camp for Danae.
Thank goodness hes on Team Good Guys!)
Octavia happens to arrive back at Arkadia just in time to see her brother lock up Lincoln.
Anyone hoping for another happy Clarke and Bellamy reunion was sorely disappointed.
Why do you get to decide its over?
he spits at her when she says the Ice Nation has already paid for the crimes at Mount Weather.
Clarke makes one final plea, Bellamy, I need you…
I need the guy who wouldnt let me pull that lever by myself.
Hes not wrong, and Clarke knows that, too.
He apologizes, too.
And then he handcuffs her to the chair.
Not to sound like a tween, but this scene slayed me.
If Clarke cant get him to see the errors in his thinking, how far will he go?
And how far can he go before its too far for him to return?
Kane gives them the radio to stay in contact, and Clarke asks her mom to go with her.
(If you did not tear up here, kindly take a look at your life.)
She goes back just in time: Hes jumped by a group who learned about their con.
They say its the sacred symbol and decide to take him as a prisoner instead.
Many questions here, but well have to wait for more episodes for the answers.
NEXT: Lets talk about what else is happening at camp:Jaha
Jaha with the A.L.I.E.
vision only he can see returns to Arkadia.
But as long as Jaha can have his backpack, he doesnt mind because death is not the end.
None of it matters in the City of Light.
Kanes not buying it.
Jaha preaches the message to Pike next, but hes also not buying it.
So Jaha takes his message to the people.
Abby tries to help, but Raven says everything is fine.
Everything is not fine, and A.L.I.E.
She tells Jaha that if he can get Raven, the others will come.
Later, Jaha finds Raven sorting scrap metal, a new, less strenuous job.
The former chancellor wants to help her, but Raven is tired of people offering help.
She sees admitting her pain as admitting she has a disability and she doesnt want to be weak.
Jaha simply says, What have you got to lose?
and leaves her the City of Light pill.
That evening, Raven is struggling its raining, shes in pain, and shes in tears.
She grabs the pill from her pocket and swallows it.
Whatever that means…
Clarke and Octavia definitely have their work cut out for them, too.
Because from where I stand, the only way that ends is with everyone dead.
Lexa:You consider letting a massacre go unavenged a better way?
Clarke:If it ends a cycle of violence, yes.
If it brings about peace, yes.
Someone has to take the first step.
Let it be you.
Clarke is the anti-Pike.
Whether or not she can get Lexa to see it is the biggest question.
Indra doesnt even think its a question: You cant be considering it.
Lexas not considering it; shes doing it.
Let it be known blood mustnothave blood.
I believe thats called flipping the script.
