![]() Clarke says, “Hey, you saved my life today. Clarke thinks her mother doesn’t deserve her forgiveness, but Jake tells her, “Forgiveness isn’t about what people DESERVE.” Clarke is not sure if she will be able to forgive herself or her mother, but as a step towards the path of forgiveness, she offers forgiveness to Bellamy. On the other side Clarke is struggling with forgiving her mother for playing a part in her father’s death. In this episode Bellamy’s guilt manifests in the form of Jaha who confronts him for shooting him and playing a part in the culling. Metamorphosis of Bellamy Blake through Clarke Griffinĭay Trip was a phenomenal episode on every level and solidified my love for Bellamy and Clarke’s dynamic. However, in this long and emotional dissertation, I want to explore Bellamy’s character development post-time jump through the lens of his relationship with Clarke Griffin. I understand how it may feel as if the time jump has killed the Bellamy Blake we fell for. We jump forward six years later and he’s in a “romantic” relationship with the girl who physically and emotionally abused him in every interaction they shared. We spent a full two seasons with him feeling guilty for trusting her, internalizing and shouldering all the guilt for the genocide, and attempting to save anybody at the risk of his own life so he can to wash off the blood on his hands. Now we jump forward and he’s joking around with the girl who betrayed him multiple times, tried to kill him and his sister and his “best friend” multiple times, played a part in murdering Gina and his people, and basically kicked off his downward spiral in Season 3. He held grudges (deserving ones I may add) and didn’t easily forgive himself or others who hurt the people he loves (”forgiveness is hard for us”). The Bellamy Blake we know and love for four seasons wore his heart on his sleeve, was impulsive and emotional, and did everything in his power to protect the people that he loves. We only got about 15 minutes of him AFTER a 6 year time jump and part of it was a scene where he was making out with the character we saw him choking only four episodes ago. ![]() I know that most of the fandom is struggling with the Bellamy Blake we were presented with in the first episode of Season 5. *This will be a dissertation because I have a lot of feelings.* Bellarke Parallels in the S5 Premiere (6 years later)
