Spoilers Everywhere! Watch the latest full episodes of "The 100" here.

I recently had some time to binge-watch all of the past episodes of "The 100" so I'm excited to share my thoughts on the latest episode of the show. Follow me on Twitter for live Tweets of as many episodes as possible.

I'll also feature any local Tweets here so let's go Detroit! Let's see your reaction photos and cosplay.

The episode opens up with Jaha and his followers on their way to the City of Light, but a new guy Harris is quickly killed off by a land mine showering the group with blood and body parts. Ew! Can anybody tell me the first part of the joke Harris didn't finish? Thanks to show EP Jason Rothenberg for sharing the punchline.

Murphy's morbid sense of humor shows later when he dreams of a shower to, "Wash off the rest of Harris."

Clexa, Now Kiss

Meanwhile in the Grounder camp Lexa and Clarke go round and round about their strategy to take Mount Weather. Later Lexa confesses to caring about Clarke in more than friendly way. They steam it up with a kiss and Clarke almost goes in for a second, but holds back. She's not ready for a relationship. It's okay though, Christopher Larkin speaks for his character Monte on Twitter.

Bellamy is in Mount Weather working with Raven and Wick on a way to disable the acid fog or "The Veil" as the Mountain Men call it. Bellamy just wants to blow the thing up, but it could tip off the MM too early.

Ravick, Get Down To Business

Wick walks Bellamy through the control panel to neutralize the concoction. Mission accomplished, Wick and Raven make some chemistry of their own and make good use of the science room. Good thing nobody else goes in there. Awkward.

Finally out of the mine field, Jaha and his gang get over the final dune to find nothing but a massive array of solar panels. Jaha loses his cool as does his lackeys.

Octavia Assasination?

An archer attempts to kill Octavia as a pre-emptive strike against Octavia spilling the beans about the missle strike. In an earlier episode, Clarke decided to keep the MM strike a secret effectively sacrificing a slew of friendlys in order to not expose the "mole" in Mount Weather, Bellamy. Clarke thwarts Lexa's attempt to silence Octavia and convinces Lexa to spare Octavia. Lexa agrees to spare Octavia only to stay in Clarke's good graces. Oh how the tables have turned. The fierce leader Lexa is now bowing to her emotional connection and leadership of Clarke.

Clarke and Lexa prepare to lead their troops into battle and potential demise. The two seem drunk on sexual tension and the power of wielding an army. Wow.

Bellamy "Die Hard" Blake

It's unclear how the Cage and the MM get the drop on Bellamy's radio, but they fix the acid fog and prepare to unleash it on the Grounder/100 forces. A MM team descends on Bellamy, but he pulls some Die Hard, John McClane/MacGuyver stunts and blows up the fog system with a tank of pure oxygen and the torch given to him by Maya's dad. What's his name?

Bellamy is miraculously blown out the end of an air duct and somehow unharmed by the incredible blast. For the record ladies, the hair wasn't harmed.

City Of Light Journey Continues

An aerial drone observes Jaha's group and zooms out over a nearby body of water. The guys decide to take a boat they found after it. The biblical themes and imagery are hard to miss. Another leap of faith. I'm half expecting Jaha to attempt to walk on water.

Back at Mount Weather, Cage is reaching for some last straw of defense, but the only thing standing between them and a fierce Grounder/100 force is their doors.

My guess is Cage starts a barricaded hostage situation. Doesn't look like this standoff will end peacefully or without massive bloodshed.
