First it must be said that Luna is a total badass and I respect her so much. She sticks by her principles, doesn't give in to Clarke's truly awful pressure, and walks the walk.
I mean, sucks for our heroes, but I was kinda against them forcibly chipping her when Clarke first brought it up. CLARKE THAT WAS A TERRIBLE IDEA AND I'M GLAD IT DIDN'T WORK.
Poor Jasper making a friend who then dies. They really do suck at not bringing death to everyone they touch.
*
Meanwhile in Polis, Murphy is the defacto leader of the trio of rebels and it's awesome, until they mess up killing Alie, that is. But I'm happy that he's still worried about Emori - I really hope the two of them get a happy ending.
Pike, ugh.
Indra and the gun! Oh no! What do you want to bet that she had a make or break moment in the next two episodes where she has to fire that weapon.
*
Monty and Harper! I approve - they're good together.
Raven and Monty with the mainframe - the actors killed it. Watching them both fighting together with their own battles. Raven giving Monty the choice of what to do about his mom, and when he goes through with it and they're both crying. My heart!
I feel like Monty has been mourning his mom since he shot her. Shooting her was so visceral and final an act that was also such a surprise to him that even knowing intellectually that her mind is around, that she could come back but never in the same way because she wouldn't have a body. He had time to get his head around the fact that she was gone, and here he got a goodbye.

Everyone just misses Alie. Dammit. And now she's in what's left of the Ark? I did not see that one coming.
Monty deleting his mom's mind was so brutal. I already hated ALIE, but that was just so needlessly cruel. At least he got closure.
I feel like we should have seen ALIE on the Ark coming since Becca wanted to connect ALIE 2.0 with the Ark, but that was mindboggling to see ALIE there. I was so frustrated watchingt the characters stall this episode, but I suppose the twist of ALIE on the Ark makes up for it.
Poor Monty. He's had such a touch time this season, and I love him so much.
The Alie development was really well done. I wasn't expecting it but it makes total sense which is how the best twists are.
I have no idea what's coming next though (other than the character in the trailer for next week). I feel like all the options that have been telegraphed have been played out.
