And its about damn time.
After the loss we sufferedlast week, we needsomethingto go right.
Pike himself has come to represent everything thats wrong with the Bellamy story.

But five episodes later, without any of the backstory, Bellamys decision makes less and less sense.
So lets take it from the top and figure out how he finally,finallyarrived there.
Indra and Octavia are presumably at the blockade line or still on their way back.
Abby is…working in the hospital?
Theyve already taken out a few of Pikes soldiers as proof that theyre serious.
Even Pike looks a little surprised at that, but what does he expect?
Hes been preaching all Grounders must die since he first got Bellamy in his clutches.
Monty doesnt think thats necessary, but as Pike says, The walls have ears.
Those ears are Miller, Harper, and Kane.
Pike says they need to change their meeting patterns, so theyre not caught.
And then Harper says, Or we could just shock-lash Pikes fascist ass and hand him to the Grounders.
HARPER IS MY NEW FAVORITE.
I fully support that plan, but Kane says thats murder and treason and thats not who they are.
Maybe thats who we need to be, Miller says.
Not yet, Kane replies.
NEXT: How to Get Away With Being a Dictator
Kane tries to reason with Pike.
Youve become a dictator you do realize, dont you?
But Pike doesnt care.
They get Sinclair to help, but when Bellamy approaches him about work orders, Sinclair flees.
Hes quickly caught, charged with treason, and thrown into the brig.
Once there, he tells Lincoln he has a message from Kane: Get ready.
Tonights a go.This was the plan all along.So much bait-and-switch in this episode!
In the brig, Sinclair tells Bellamy hes ready to talk.
I dont suppose you know anything about this?
As a matter of fact, I do, Kane says AS HE SHOCK-LASHES HIM.
(I may have cheered at my TV.)
Theyre going with Harpers plan!
Bellamy rushes to the Arkadia gate just as Kane pulls up.
He gets out of the car and is arrested.
Pike sentences Kane to death.
And finally, FINALLY, Bellamy looks as if he knows hes on the wrong side.
He starts to cry and says, Sir, are we really killing our own people now?
Hannah comes up and tells them shes proud of them (she should compare mothering tips with Nia).
have run simulations on the 13th Station and predicted that it must have fallen in the ocean.
Jaha says they need more minds in the City of Light to help figure out how to get A.L.I.E.
2.0 the only problem is Pike confiscated the chip-maker when MIA Abby shut down Jahas pill operation.
With the false promise of booze, Raven gets Jasper to help.
Sounds like a terrible plan, Jasper says.
With the help of A.L.I.E.
They finally get the right one (a numeric code for Earth) and slip into Pikes office.
Jasper says he wishes he could forget the pain of Mayas death, as well.
She just looks even more confused.
tells her thats not important, but Raven is able to resist the AIs demands.
As she grasps it, she realizes she cant remember her first kiss.
About this time, Jasper finds the chip-maker.
He tries to hand it to her as A.L.I.E.
begs her to grab it, but Raven realizes what the City of Light has done to her memories.
We cant let her have this, she says, and they put the chip-maker back.
tells Jaha shes never had someone resist her before.
When I communicate to someone, they listen to me, she says.
They agree with me.
But Raven isnt just anyone and if she can resist, maybe others can, too.
Jaha says maybe they can find a way to override it.
You always have the worst ideas.
And if Terms and Conditions gets us there, I guess Ill take it.
But I think we all can admit no episode following last weeks emotional rollercoaster would have felt right?
Okay, Im going to turn it over to you guys now.
What did you guys think of tonights episode?
Are you worried about the brainwashing effects of the City of Light pills?
And do you think Bellamy IS finally on the right side?
Maybe Im readingwaytoo much into the look in his eyes at the end?
