If I were the people in between, I would consider being really worried. Nothing will get solved until Charmaine and Octavia meet again, but something huge would have to happen for them to find some common ground long enough to face one another.Īnd what about the damage that will happen before that? Characters like Kane and Echo are like chess pieces in the larger game, and Charmaine and Octavia are in charge of who goes where. Sooner or later Charmaine and Octavia will face one another again, and I am here for it.īecause at the end of the day this is where all the chaos is coming from, these two opposing forces that are working through other people and the people of the land in between them. Maybe Echo will manage to help Octavia out, but even that can't exactly last forever. Love is truly a weakness for Octavia right now, which is why her focus seems to be entirely on the reputation that she carved out for herself.
She would have to hit rock bottom as a leader before she could start to see her brother as a person who is there for her. This didn't set up a happily ever after to their issues though, which isn't surprising considering Octavia's present state. The Blake sibling relationship may have figured out a way not to banish Echo, yet also not to forgive her but for how long will that last? This doesn't mean that she will follow through, but for now, she can get more from allowing Echo to do her bidding.Īnd even though they got to that point, the Blake siblings sparring it out first was a needed moment if only because Octavia named names. Octavia had a good thing going down in that bunker, and while for now, they are back there again, everything is different.Ĭracks are already forming so trusting Echo was probably her best bet. The ground changes everything, and it isn't only for Bellamy that this rings true this time around. : It will happen again unless you take control.It will happen again unless you take control. Octavia's biggest concern right now isn't providing the best for her people she first still has to have loyal people. While Octavia is more worried about the way that Wonkru is seen versus the people actually in her clan, this is all meant to ring exactly that way. Her leadership abilities were called into question, and she couldn't even fully focus on that because she also had to figure out where she stood with Echo.Įven though it isn't always easy to agree with Octavia, she is still the one in control in this situation which raises the question of how she continues to stay there. There was a lot on her plate today, yet she managed to still be one of the standout characters across the board.

Not everything made sense right away because not everything should have. The 100 Season 5 Episode 6 handled all the different pieces of the puzzle so well, arranging them in an engaging way that still left room for question.
