The action is divided between the Ark and Earth in this action packed episode, filled with interesting plot developments and the typical stupidity that humans use to show on sci-fi shows.
Finn, a character that was a little bland at the beginning but is getting, as everyone else more fleshed out with more episodes, sees Octavia leaving the camp and follows her, discovering her relationship with Lincoln. Finn, the only one with Octavia who seems to see that killing each other doesn't help the 100 or the Grounders, decides to set a meeting between the Grounders and Clarke. On the Ark, Diana shows her hand and decides to leave all the other behind and with her team of supporters go to Earth.
This episode tries to show how people, who come from different backgrounds and have different perspectives, will have a hard time to reach an agreement. The Grounders and the 100 see things very differently, and also Diana's faction and everyone else on the Ark. Luckily for us, the show, even if it does so in a little bit heavy- handed way, tries to offer both views. And the actors, more comfortable with their roles, do a good job with the material. One of the nicest points of "The 100" is how the two bad guys from the first episodes (Bellamy and Councillor Kane) have become more sympathetic to the viewer, showing their backgrounds and their weaknesses. Here the show keeps working on the characters personalities and relationships, offering lots of grey zones.
And of course, we also have some threatening looks between Raven and Clark, etc etc...
