‘The 100’ Season 3 Explodes Back on The CW, Episode 2 Spoilers

The 100 is officially back on broadcast network The CW, and it has given fans something to talk about for the next week until Episode 2 airs.

What fans last remember from the Season 2 finale of The 100 was the genocide at Mount Weather and the looming apocalyptic tones that seemed to be echoing off the guilt felt by Clarke as she departed the group and left for self-imposed exile.

According to Entertainment Weekly, three months had passed when The 100 made it back for its highly anticipated Season 3 premiere.

There is something to be said for the way The 100 has pulled off its epic storylines. The continuity seemed to flow perfectly when the show returned, even though there was a three-month difference between the two seasons.

Everything seemed to be back to the point of peace with some careful understandings, some of which went unspoken. Bellamy is now the leader of the Sky people, and they have drawn out a map of all the locations for the 12 clans.

The only real major wild card for them now is the Ice Nation, which is referred to as the Azgeda. To shore up the theme for Season 3 of The 100, the Ice Nation isn’t really playing ball with the original 100 and their people.

There is a plan taking shape for those who are left, and Bellamy had to make some strides to make sure that Clarke was okay. Even though Season 2 of The 100 left off with them in a bad situation and Clarke had no more use for them, Bellamy seems to still harbor that soft spot for her that makes him want to go out and rescue her.

In the 100 Season 3 opener, fans find out that she has a price on her head or, at least, a price to bring her back to the Ice Nation due to what she carried out on Mount Weather.

Here’s the thing, though. The 100’s Ice Nation believes that when you kill someone or something, you get its power. So when Clarke took out Mount Weather on Season 2 of The 100, it is believed that she got all of that power, and she is now the “Commander of Death,” or the “Wanheda,” as the Ice Nation and many Grounders believe.

The mission to bring her in for these various groups is not exactly a mission to kill, but rather use her for what is believed to be her newly acquired powers following the Mount Weather incident. It has become apparent at this time in The 100 that the politics surrounding it are just as much about belief as it is about power.

Fans also saw that the Ark’s beacon starts to go off, and they are suddenly turned around for a different purpose, which puts them in contact with the Ice Nation and Sky Grounders.

Needless to say, things go wrong when Jasper makes a foolish attempt to grab the beacon, nearly getting himself killed in the process. His grief and new look indicate that he is still in full mourning from what happened to his girlfriend at the end of The 100 Season 2.

The original 100 still decide to make their way to Clarke but find resistance from the Ice Nation. Meanwhile, Clarke is seen surviving off the land and trading her kills at a trading post, where she meets a woman. The two hit it off, and after the woman tends to her wounds, they end up in a romantic way.

Clarke awakens in the night stirred and when she tries to make a mad dash for the door, she is scooped up by a bounty hunter.

There is also more story to the whole A.L.I.E. exposed in the 100 Season 3 opener. Murphy becomes the center of that story and the reasons for the apocalypse start to come into focus.

In Episode 2, which is titled “Wanheda: Part Two,” TV Guide reports that the conclusion of the 100 Season 3 premiere will be just as striking as the opener itself.

In an effort to save Clarke, Bellamy and Kane will put their own lives in peril and face enormous odds at getting her back. There will also be the possible opening of a medical facility on Mount Weather, which could lead to an all-out war between the 100 and the Grounders.
