***Warning Spoilers*** Watch the latest full episodes of "The 100″ here.

If you've like me and have been salivating over the Grounder/100 attack on Mount Weather, you're probably only half satisfied. I guess that makes sense because it's only the first half of the season finale.

Blood Muse Have Blood Part 1 starts off with Bellamy freeing the Grounders. Can I take a minute to express how messed up the Mountain Men are. Holding people captive in tiny cages to repeatedly use their blood and bone marrow to alleviate their radiation exposure? Wow. President Dante plays as the voice of sanity for the MM, but was he completely oblivious to this?

Desperation In The Mountain

With the acid fog disabled thanks to Bellamy, tons of enemy Grounders/Sky People inside the mountain, and a massive enemy force outside their front door -- it seems like the MM are in major trouble. Cage visits his father for advice (who he locked up BTW) and gets a severe verbal lashing about how he basically killed his own people in one day of leadership. Ouch.

As Cage is leaving, he offers freedom to his father and this appears to soften Dante. He says he might have a plan to save the MM.

Prepare For War

Clarke and Lexa review their plan of attack, which involves taking down the hydro-electric power that feeds the mountain. Once they do that they can blow up the main door and march right in. Lexa leads her people in a chant of "blood must have blood" in Grounder language Trigedasleng "Jus drein jus daun!" A half scared, half blood thirsty look comes over Clarke before she joins in the chant. Side note: Clarke is now sporting bits of shiny spiky Grounder armor. It's another step in her transformation into a complete badass.

Lay Low

The MM are searching every domicile in the mountain. They seem desperate threatening their own people if they don't expose the hiding Sky People. Jasper gives up his group to spare the family hiding them, but the MM soldier shoots them both in the head anyway adding to the irredeemable nature of the MM.

Ravick

Raven and Wick work on disabling the turbines at the dam. Their relationship is stressed when they start to pick at each other. It's unclear why Wick is being cold to Raven, but he jabs at her saying, "That's right. They can't leave you if you push them away." Wick doesn't seem to understand her. He seems bound to be hurt by Raven's bad girl persona.

Anyway, they overload the turbines just in time to blow up a group of MM soldiers bearing down. Phew!

Where's Jaha?

We don't get an update from The City of Light and Jaha's boat trip to god knows where, but that storyline isn't as interesting anyway.

Betrayal

A skirmish breaks out at the mountain door while they attempt to blow it open, but it doesn't last long. A group of captive Grounders is released by the MM as terms of a surrender Lexa arranged behind Clarke's back. This is the move Dante shared with Cage which completely turns the tables.

Clexa shippers are in mourning. Every 100 fan right now "can't even".

Retreat

Octavia and Indra lead a force in the mines, but upon hearing the Grounder call of retreat Indra leaves with her men. Octavia appeals to go in after her brother Bellamy, but Indra takes this as an insult. Indra makes a small cut on Octavia's neck and growls, "You are no longer my second." Indra isn't taking any of that nonsense. Show EP Jason Rothenberg sums up Octavia's allegiance.

Octavia, Bellamy and Clarke are each alone at the end of the episode facing the mountain. The blow of the betrayal is still sinking in for them AND the viewers.
