“The 100” spoilers reveal that Season 3 Episode 15 “Perverse Instantiation – Part One” on Thursday, May 12 leading up to the finale a week later will bring everything to a boil. Clarke seeks out an ally in the war on Jaha and the A.I. ALIE determined to rule the world.
If you don’t know, “instantiation” means to provide concrete evidence in support of a theory. Is this a theory of how to destroy ALIE even though she’s now out in space on the Ark? Now that Luna (Nadia Hilker) has ejected Clarke’s gang from the sea hideout, things seem hopeless.
Monty Green (Christopher Larkin) is incensed that Raven Reyes (Lindsey Morgan) blew their secret backdoor chance to get rid of ALIE and now they don’t have access to the A.I.’s code anymore. So what’s next? Looks like Clarke and company make their way back to Arkadia to rally the troops.
Right now, the rebels consist of Clarke plus Harper McIntyre (Chelsey Reist), Raven, Monty, Bellamy Blake (Bob Morley), Octavia Blake (Marie Avgeropoulos), Jasper Jordan (Devon Bostick), Miller (Jared Joseph) and Bryan (Jonathan Whitesell). That’s not enough.
Of course, they have no idea there’s a band of three in Polis also scheming – Indra (Adina Porter), Charles Pike (Michael Beach) and John Murphy (Richard Harmon). The bottom line is, since ALIE has an army, Clarke needs help.
Clarke and Bellamy go to see Ice Nation King Roan (Zach McGowan) and she tells him ALIE is coming for all of them so they need to band together. She says, “we need each other.” Roan looks dubious but then agrees to join sides with the troop of teens fighting the uber-AI.
Clarke explains to him that what one sees, they all see, if anyone is around who has taken the key. Meanwhile in Polis, ALIE wants to protect Ontari (Rhiannon Fish) from the rebels at all costs and says “we can’t let them have you.”
Since Luna rejected them, Ontari is the only black blood left who can accept the flame, since she slaughtered the rest of the Commander nominees. Bellamy does NOT like that Clarke has pulled Roan into the mix and asks how she can trust that guy with her life.
Indra and Murphy are with Pike on the run from ALIE and her army of mind-controlled minions. A newly AI-indoctrinated Marcus Kane (Henry I Cusick) is hunting for them while Jaha (Isaiah Washington) sticks close to ALIE and Ontari.
The teens come up with a plan that involves Roan and Clarke’s capture by ALIE’s army. Remember ALIE needs either Clarke or Murphy (but not both) alive since they are the only ones that know how to make Ontari the new commander and embed the flame in her.
Monty fears the duo are walking into a trap and they may well be since one of the Grounders rotting in the cell with Indra, Pike and Murphy was an ALIE plant. Will she be the one to rat out the rebels’ latest plan to the genocidal AI?
The 100 Season 3 finale will air in two parts, one week apart. Be sure to tune in for Season 3 Episode 15 – “Perverse Instantiation – Part One” on Thursday, May 12 and check with CDL for a LIVE recap of The 100 as it airs on The CW.
