The parallels between Mount Weather and Sanctum just kept coming over and over.
Jordan falling for a girl from the other side is just what his namesake did.
History is repeating itself in a way that feels fresh and fun, and Im all about it.

Lets get into it… Im not going to lie: I was kind of looking forward to a planet full of creepy kids.
But considering the adults are led byJR Bourne, Ill get over it.
His name is Russell Lightbourne, and hes basically the king.
Anyway, the king comes in and explains a little about the dynamics here.
The primes are the royal blood that rules them all.
Russell is the seventh in his line, and his wife Simone is also a prime.
He tells her to send her most disposable people to get it.
Clarke tries to go when she learns Madi is on the ship, but King Russell wont allow it.
So Bellamy, Raven, Echo, and Octavia go with a group of his guards.
Shortly after they leave, Murphy wakes up for the first time since reanimating.
He instantly knows something is wrong: I dieddidnt I?
Murphy says hes going to hell, that he saw something when he was dead.
Abby tries to calm him, but something deeper is clearly going on.
On the tavern roof, Jordan is learning to flirt with a real-life girl.
He discovers that Delilah is going to be part of a naming ceremony the next day.
On the transport ship, Gaia is trying to teach Madi how to master the flame.
Diyozawhos lounging and eavesdropping gets a good laugh out of this and then tells Gaia to lighten up.
She and the guards turn back to Sanctum as their only interest was their dead friends bodies.
Seriously, what is it with people and death on this planet??
But even Diyoza thinks this is a bit much: They were withdrawing, she says.
O says its okay, that she should have just died in the gorge anyway.
To which Bellamy says, My sister died a long time ago.
Back at the compound, Clarke gets dressed up to join Russell and Simone for dinner at the palace.
The dining room table is filled with delicious bites for just the three of themand Russells adorable dog.
Clarke is hoping she can be diplomatic and convince them that her people deserve a place on this planet.
Clarke puts her pride aside and simply pleads for asecond chance.
Everyone told him to put the dog down, but Russells father loved the dog too much.
He gave it a second chance.
And then the dog attacked and killed Russells baby sister.
Violence is a contagion, he tells Clarke.
He isnt willing to let her wipe out the last outpost of humanity.
Unaware hes destroyed their chance on this planet, Jordan is getting busy with Delilah on the roof.
Luckily, Clarke is just making it back to the tavern and sees the aftermath.
Theyre trying to take the girls who will be named.
Clarke takes off with a guard to stop the one who took Delilah.
She finds the kidnapper and fights him; although he ends up getting away, he leaves behind Delilah.
But the other Children of Gabriel are able to take off with Rose, the other naming girl.
Hes suddenly intrigued by her.
It obviously means something to these people, and weve seen how that turned out before.
But who cares about those people on the ship!
Simone is even pleased to see that Diyoza is pregnantthat is until she learns her name is Charmaine Diyoza.
Apparently, she is in their history books right next to Hitler and bin Laden.
They throw her outside the barrier with no care that shes pregnant.
O tries to fight them, but they just poison her with plants.
Theyre going to take her and the severed heads to see the old man.
I have so many questions coming out of this episode!
Can people come back to life on this planet?
Whats going on with this dark commander in Madis head?
Why are the Children of Gabriel separated from the Sanctum people?
Who is the old man?
How are some people on this planet red-blooded if everyone on Eligius III was a nightblood?
What is this naming ceremony all about?
And will Jordan ever get some?
I cant wait to find out.
