They remembered Ethan existed just to kill him. Damn.

[u/pgm_01]

Kane dies because of a cannibal after embracing cannibalism to survive!

[u/JohnSmithSensei]

"What do you care if I die? Isn't that what you want?" "Yes."

Damn, that's brutal.

[u/SikeBRO]

Kind of looked like O was going out how Lincoln did

[u/CharlieBxox]

Get in losers we’re going shopping

[u/amnehzm]

"300 people are gonna die out here"

Finish your drink every time 300 lives are on the line...

In the end it wasn't Wonkru that came back, it was Adventure Squad.

[u/JustALittleOod]

Worst game of "Red Light Green Light" ever.

[u/StopRightMeoww]

That was our Clarke/Raven reunion :(

[u/nylharas]

Bellamy. Just. Told. Octavia. He. Wants. Her. To. Die.

[u/nylharas]

"We are not doing this right now" -Bellamy and literally everyone in the entire universe.

[u/Anthonysan]

The fact that Indra could have been killed off so many times on this show and they haven't yet gives me hope she survives until the end of the show. knocks on wood

"How can you be sure?"

[u/jlynn00]

I guess Abby/Kane/Vinson were the love triangle.

[u/doubleplusfabulous]

I’m just waiting for Chekov’s Worms to make a reappearance.

[u/Sleep_Addiction]

Shaw is so not down with following a 12 year old but clearly doesn’t want to upset the crazy too much.

[u/padraig_garcia]

Some of this would mean more if they'd had more flashbacks of Clarke and Madi over the past couple of years.

Like Madi being deathly ill and Clarke breaking down at the thought of losing her, you know, heighten the emotional stakes and all

[u/[deleted]]

Hey it's Ethan! And he's gone

[u/StopRightMeoww]

the thing I love about Murphy is he's always the character voicing what any regular person would. "YAAAASSSS!"

[u/Reverse-I_am_Organic]

Octavia and Miller: WE HAVE TO GO BACKKKKKK

Most of Wonkru and the viewers: “miss me with that bullshit”

[u/classicbullshit]

Well, yes Kane, I am also shocked about this development. Who'd have thought McCreary was a traitor???

[u/bingewatching_alpaca]

First time in a long time that an episode has left me like that. This episode was so good and gave me hope back for this show. Why could it have not just been two hours long. Do people really care about the outpost enough. Imagine if we had two hours worth of that roller coaster of emotions.

[u/Sleep_Addiction]

How much would it suck to survive Praimfaya and the Bunker Years only to get killed in this bullshit war for survivable land?
