The 100 Season 6 Episode 13 had a lot going on, yet it found that time to solidify that Bellamy and Clarke needed yet another reunion that was loud and that stood out compared to every other one. Don't get it twisted though, this was platonic soulmates in direct parallel to another one of their finale scenes. Nothing matters though and love is a lie.

Sometimes there are just those episodes that end with an emotionally driven relationship finding it's a way to mess with our feelings in new and exciting ways. But don't worry, Bellamy and Clarke being this loving towards one another were strictly plot focused and professional. Nothing else to see here at all.

This was not necessary, Josephine didn't have to once again shine a light on how Bellamy's feelings for Clarke differ from those he has for just about everyone else. But she did say it and that should be owned up to. Time and time again it is made clear how Clarke is more important for Bellamy, and at the same time, it isn't about her at all? Make it make sense.

An episode is full of choices, one of which was having Clarke manifest her guilt and pain over what she did to Bellamy in the fighting pits. There can be dozens of scenes that were cut that somehow add a different context than the one that appeared on screen, but at the end of the day, it is what makes it to the final frame that represents the message of the show. Otherwise, you end up with six seasons of misinterpretation because everything that contradicts the value of Bellamy and Clarke's relationship somehow got lost in translation in between scenes that didn't quite make it into the show.

Let's pretend that the writing didn't find time to make the message of the season for Bellamy clear. Then what is the excuse for the lighting and the camera work and the acting that went into this hopeful moment where Bellamy and Clarke find one another in fields of gold?

Let's take all the bias and the lighting out of the equation. The 100 is known for many things and one of them is their reunions. Looking at this reunion, where Bellamy reunites with Echo and yet is caught looking at Clarke over her shoulder while she does the same and then comparing it to literally any version of the Bellamy and Clarke reunions of the season is the parallel the show doesn't want you to make. Because if you do, it won't look good and suddenly the interpretations are harder to match up to offscreen statements.
