However, though they are sequestered in the Grounder throne room, ALIE's army has climbed the tower in an effort to prevent Clarke from completing her mission, with Bellamy leading the group of resistance. Outside the City of Light, Clarke is being tenuously kept alive by Ontari's blood, which becomes difficult when the Grounder crashes, forcing Abby to open up her chest and Murphy to manually pump her heart in order to keep the blood flowing and prevent the Flame from liquifying Clarke's brain. This time, Jasper takes on the role of working to thwart Clarke, though it is the circumstances surrounding Clarke's body, rather than her mind, that stand a chance of preventing her from completing her mission. The reunion of Clarke and Lexa is emotional - and made more emotional by the fallout of Lexa's death, both on The 100 and among fans - with the former Commander jumping to Clarke's aid against a group of ALIE's followers. The too-short return of Lexa while satisfying in its opportunity to give Clarke some closure about her love's death, highlights the excellent dynamic and relationship The 100 loses with Lexa gone.Īpart from Clarke's reunion with Lexa, her time in the City of Light is largely more of the same struggle against those who are under the control of ALIE. But, as the Flame instructs Clarke, she must take an ALIE chip and go into the City of Light, where she's reunited with former Grounder Commander Lexa. In order to get to the kill switch, Clarke decides to undergo a blood transfusion with the last known Nightblood, the brain-dead Ontari, and take the Flame into her own head. Still, the lead up to Clarke's final choice to kill ALIE, as with her decisions in the past, was not a simple mission. The moment Clarke pulls the kill switch on ALIE was inevitable since season 1, which demonstrate's The 100's excellent character development but takes the wind out of the sails of ALIE as the main antagonist of season 3. Bellamy may have tried to tell Clarke in season 1 that "who we are and who we need to be to survive are two very different things," but Clarke still believes that those are one in the same - and people should be the ones making the tough decisions, not an AI.

However, the moment of the choice loses a bit of tension due to the portrayal of ALIE as an ultimate evil who takes away humanity's free will. In 'Perverse Instantiation' Clarke must decide whether to kill ALIE once and for all, or doom the Earth's population by destroying the City of Light.Īs with all of Clarke's previous decisions, she chooses the path that she believes to be right, which usually isn't the easier path to walk. As with many of the other choices placed in front of the young leader, the fate of the world rests on her shoulders.

Now, in the season 3 finale, 'Perverse Instantiation - Part Two', written by showrunner Jason Rothenberg and directed by Dean White, Clarke is faced with another momentous decision. However, in the wake of the events of the season 2 finale, which saw Clarke make the decision to kill the entire colony of Mount Weather in order to save her own people (even though some of those inhabitants were allies), Clarke ran from her friends and family, and fled the grounders who sought the power of Wanheda.

Since its first season, The 100 has been a show about making the tough decisions in order to survive - with Clarke Griffin, the daughter of a doctor and a man executed for treason, the unlikely leader on whose shoulders many of these decisions have fallen.
