24 Best Moments from The 100 Season 4
18. THE LIST
We so rarely get to see Clarke being vulnerable, but this emotional moment is one of the few times we see Clarke allow herself to be that open. She has the weight of the world on her shoulders as she literally chooses who lives and who dies.
Bellamy: If I’m on that list, you’re on that list.
Bellamy being there to back her up and make sure she gets a spot too makes so much sense as he shares that burden of leadership with her.
17. ALWAYS
Bellamy and Raven’s relationship has always been one of my favorites, so seeing them come back together at the end of Season 4 is really satisfying.
Bellamy: You still with me?
Raven: Always
This moment as they promise each other that they’ll survive in memory of Clarke is touching, and I can’t wait to see where they end up on the other side of the time jump.
16. GOD SAVE THE KING
When Roan is shot at the end of Season 3, we aren’t sure what his fate will be in Season 4. Having the entire first episode revolve around the shaky balance of saving his life and reaching a peace with the remaining Azgeda warriors is an electric start to the season.
It’s also really nice to see Clarke and Abby working together in doctor mode again.
15. ROAN’S ABS…I MEAN, THAT CAR CHASE
One of the coolest action scenes of The 100 Season 4 is definitely the epic car chase that ensues when Clarke and her vehicle have been taken hostage by Azgeda warriors.
Bellamy, Roan, and Clarke all have to work together flawlessly and quickly in order to take back control and keep the hundreds of gallons of Hydrazine Clarke is hauling from exploding. All of our hearts race as Clarke comes to a stop just inches from Bellamy and the rover.
And any time we get a look at Roan’s 6-pack is a good time.
14. MACKSON
This relationship is entirely unexpected but comes as a delightful surprise towards the end of Season 4.
While we only see the bare beginnings of this relationship, they do end up in the same place before the time jump, and who knows what Miller and Jackson will be to each other when we come back to them 6 years later.
13. INDRA GIVES OCTAVIA HER SWORDS // KANE AND BELLAMY SHARE ADVICE
This is the moment I think Octavia really starts to realize that there are still things worth living and fighting for. Indra had taught Octavia so much and giving her this sword feels like a passing of the torch moment.
Then Kane and Bellamy being there to give her advice just adds another level of emotion to Octavia entering the conclave, especially as what Bellamy says to her ends up being the skill she uses to ultimately win the entire battle.
Bellamy: You were the girl under the floor, use that. Just like mom taught us.
Kane: Bellamy’s right, you don’t have to kill all twelve warriors.
Octavia: I just have to kill the last one.
Both of these conversations begin that domino effect inside Octavia that allows her to see meaning and purpose in life again.

Lmao imagining having such little integrity that you’d include a throwaway line from the first episode that didn’t pan out into a great storyline as one of the top 5 moments of the ENTIRE SEASON! ?? Meanwhile an exhchange between the SHOW’S LEADS that actually had greater impact throughout the rest of the season is #10…? So embarrassing. Maybe if you had a little more integrity you’d be able to get a job with a real publication! PS. Clarke’s EXISTENCE as one of the only bisexual leads on TV is good for the LGBT+ community…we don’t need to her to be an extension of a guest star for her to matter, but nice try!
First: that moment was no.6 not in the top 5
Second: you know what else is good for the LGBT community? Seeing a parent accept her daughter was in a wlw relationship and supporting her after the woman she loved die, instead of ignoring her or their relationship. Grow the f— up. Not everything is about ships. That moment was about a mother and daughter more than anything and meant a lot to LGBT viewers who have difficult relationships with their parents bc of their sexuality.
Hi there, I actually included that moment because of Abby’s reaction to Clarke’s confession. It isn’t about Lexa, but about Clarke’s sexuality being made textual, and then acknowledged and accepted by her mother. So as a bisexual person myself it was really important to me to see my favorite character (Abby) being accepting and loving of Clarke in that moment. Clarke’s existence as a bisexual character is fantastic representation for myself and the greater LGBTQA community. And part of what makes her good representation is that her sexuality is more than just kisses and love scenes with her love interests, and it includes actual conversations with her family and friends, which is something I wasn’t sure we’d get in such a fast paced show!
Thanks for reading!
Imagine having so little integrity that you write such a nasty comment on an article based on a writer’s harmless OPINION?
First of all, the moment between Clarke and Abby in 401 does carry on throughout the season. Clarke has conversations with multiple people about Lexa – including Niylah and Roan. It’s important for her character to have these conversations, so she can grieve and move on.
Secondly, they may be talking about Lexa in this scene, but the reason it’s so beautiful to watch is because it shows a mother accepting her BISEXUAL daughter. That may not mean anything in the world of The 100, but in our society it sure as hell does. It’s a small moment, but it’s still significant. That moment is about showing that all love is the same. It’s not just because it’s about Lexa.
(Though, Clarke’s love for Lexa WAS important. Just as important as any potential love she feels in the future will be.)
Clarke is a blessing as a character on TV. I think she’s great bi rep, and obviously so does the writer of this article. Your argument makes no sense. You think a moment between her and Bellamy should be higher – fair enough, but is not your article. There’s no need to accuse anyone of not understanding character representation just because you aren’t happy with the order of a list.
I think it’s pretty childish to take an article giving an overview of the season as a whole and demand that it be custom-tailored to fit the characters you like and don’t like. I’m primarily a Kabby shipper but I also ship Bellarke and love their relationship, and I never shipped Clexa, but it might surprise you to realize that you don’t have to ship it to realize how much that relationship matters to the narrative and to Clarke. I one hundred percent support that moment’s placement on this list. For those of us who care about the relationship between Clarke and Abby, we have been waiting a long time for them to get a moment of such emotional intimacy, and the “I loved her, Mom” scene was exactly right. The show’s refusal to allow Clarke to talk to the most important people in her life about her relationship with Lexa was one of the most frustrating omissions of Season 3. I also, by the way, would have loved for her to have such a conversation with Bellamy too, where they could have talked about Lexa and Gina and the losses they have in common. It’s a pity that the fandom’s insistence on filtering every single interaction Clarke has with anyone – even her mother – through the lens of a ship war spooked the writers out of allowing characters like Lexa and Bellamy to apparently exist in the same universe at the same time. Poorly-reasoned and intentionally antagonistic comments like this one are a great example of how that mindset can warp a beautiful, affirming moment between mother and daughter into a weapon to score points against a ship you don’t like. If you claim to be a supporter of LGBT+ audiences and the representation Clarke provides, surely you can understand how very much it matters to young queer TV viewers who may not have supportive families to get the chance to watch loving parents on this show like Abby Griffin and David Miller fully accept and love their queer children. I would suggest you consider looking at that scene again, not from the perspective of someone trashing a ship they don’t like, but from the perspective of a closeted LGBT+ teenager who watches this show every week sitting next to her mom. Context matters.
Also, thanks for educating the bisexual writer of this post about how bisexuality is important, I’m sure she’ll be happy to get that memo from you, as it will surely be news to her.
We get it, you love Bellarke, hate Clexa, and only find bisexuality relevant when you can use it to prop up your ship. The author of this article found meaning in a scene in which a parent openly accepts their LGBT child. If you find that to be despicable and an attack on your fictional ship, that says a hell of a lot about you and who you are as a person. You don’t get to pick and choose how people embrace representation. And you do NOT get to dictate how they communicate that to the world.
You’re right about one thing though — Clarke is so much more than her sexuality. And she will continue to be. She also will continue to not date Bellamy. Sorry you wasted your time on this little temper tantrum.
imagine having a world where bellarkes don’t exist. what a utopia.
