The 100 season 6 episode 11: 4 takeaways from this week’s teaser

This week’s episode of The 100 will show Skaikru attempting to free their people from the Primes — with Octavia advocating for peace for a change.

Clarke has finally returned to her body, but that doesn’t mean the conflict between the Primes and Skaikru is over — in fact, getting rid of Josephine will likely only provoke Russell further. And given that he was about to burn Skaikru alive for a few deaths in the compound, we’d hate to see what happens when he realizes his daughter is gone (assuming her mind chip is actually useless now).

According to the synopsis, Bellamy and Octavia will try to free Skaikru from the Primes’ grip. But with the Children of Gabriel on their heels and chaos erupting within the walls of Sanctum, that might not be so easy. The teaser trailer for the next episode shows them facing some challenges.

So what exactly is happening during this preview?

Octavia’s advocating for peace.

Wait, what? That’s right. The teaser opens with Octavia saying, “If we can spare innocent lives, we should.” It’s a voice-over, so it’s unclear who she’s talking to — though our guess would be Bellamy and Clarke. The three of them are going to be left to save Skaikru from the Primes, and there’s a good chance they’ll have to resort to violence to do it.

Of course, she could also be speaking to Gabriel and his followers. With a catchphrase like “Death to Primes,” none of them seem particularly interested in peace. But who knows? Maybe Octavia’s pleas will sway them.

The Children of Gabriel will catch up to Bellamy, Clarke, and Octavia.

The Children of Gabriel are on the hunt for Clarke, especially after they discovered that Josephine was using her as a host. And since they have no way of knowing that Clarke successfully expelled Josephine from her mind, they’re probably still searching for her. That could present a problem going forward, as they seem more likely to shoot Clarke for being a Prime than actually listen to her side of the story.

And the teaser shows the Children holding Octavia at gunpoint, as well as Bellamy and Clarke. Octavia’s got quite a few more weapons aimed at her, but that might be because they’ve seen her in action already. Either that, or maybe Blodreina isn’t completely gone after all.

Echo is returning to her Grounder roots.

Of all the people who landed on Sanctum, Echo is one of the characters least inclined to opt for peace over violence. It’s not that Echo actively seeks out a fight. But unlike the others, she’s not willing to let morals stand in the way of her survival. And if the promo is anything to judge by, she looks pissed about Ryker’s betrayal last episode.

“It’s too late to stop this,” she says in a voice-over — right before stabbing him. Whatever the plan to maintain peace is, it doesn’t look like Echo’s privy to it. Even if the others manage to negotiate a truce, she might wind up ruining whatever arrangement they come to.

Sheidheda is still causing problems.

While Clarke’s mind has been dominated by Josephine for most of the season, Madi has been unsuccessful at keeping Sheidheda out of hers. We see the Dark Commander several times during the promo, including once when the two of them are having a conversation. Madi doesn’t look happy, and we have to wonder what he could have done to upset her.

There’s also a scene showing Madi in the Primes’ lab. She’s the only remaining Nightblood, so it’s likely they’ll begin Abby’s bone marrow experiments with her. But whether it’s Madi herself or Sheidheda reacting, it doesn’t look like the Primes are going to come out on top of this situation.

The 100 airs on Tuesdays at 9 p.m. ET on The CW.
