18 Most Romantic Moments from ‘The 100’
12. Lincoln and Octavia save TonDC
After fighting to get Lincoln back from the reaper that the mountain men turned him into, he and Octavia separate for the first time since finding each other again to take on the crisis in TonDC. They share a tender moment as they part ways to tackle the different things they can do to help the people in the village and a beautiful hug and kiss when they reunite.
Even though they spend most of the episode apart it’s still big for each of them, as Lincoln finds his agency again after what happened to him in Mount Weather, and Octavia finally gets the grounders to see her as a real warrior.
They bookend the episode perfectly, and the audience breathes a collective sigh of relief the moment they are back in each other’s arms.
11. Miller and Jackson get together
Seeing these two officially get together is one of the best things about the return of The 100 Season 5. The 100 Season 5 Episode 2 “Red Queen,” flashes back to a turning point in the bunker and in Miller and Jackson’s relationship.
With each of them trapped on opposite sides of Kara’s coup, Jackson spends the whole episode debating an attempt to overthrow her to save his boyfriend.
Miller: You’re a healer not a fighter, that’s why I love you.
Jackson’s soft look of joy at being loved and Miller’s confidence in his feelings are the kinds of pure things we live for in a relationship. Six years later these soft loverboys are still going strong and we’re still rooting for them!
10. Lexa swears fealty to Clarke
Let’s just be honest, this moment is basically a marriage proposal and we all know it. To the outside world, Commander Lexa bows to no one, and she has to keep it that way to maintain the already crumbling coalition. But here behind closed doors, she can kneel before Clarke and show her that she is committed to her and her people.
Lexa: I vow to treat your needs as my own, and your people as my people.
Lexa knows she was wrong to have left Clarke at Mount Weather, and this promise is just the beginning of how she makes up for it. She puts Clarke as her equal in every sense of the word. Clarke is special not only as a leader but as a person to Lexa and she makes sure she knows it.
9. Murphy begs for Emori’s life
Before Murphy and Emori knew each other they were ruthless survivors, focused mainly on keeping themselves alive no matter the cost. At this moment, all of that changes; Murphy and Emori are both no longer focused on their own survival but on each other’s lives.
Murphy shows an unprecedented depth of emotion as he begs Clarke not to test Emori, using old favors and Clarke’s past sins, and anything else he can think of to try to persuade her. Emori begs him not to fight because she doesn’t want them to choose him next if the nightblood treatment doesn’t work on her.
The question of who you have to be to survive is one thing, but I think the question of who you are when you have to save someone who you love, is even more telling. And Murphy and Emori would do anything to protect each other.
8. Bellamy and Echo promise to find each other again
Bellamy and Echo are quite a controversial pairing on The 100, but like them or not, the romance of this moment is pretty undeniable.
Echo is about to go on a dangerous mission and Bellamy will be helpless to keep her safe. He has complete confidence in her abilities, but after fostering a relationship in the safety and solitude of the Ark for the past three years, being separated can’t be easy.
Echo: We found each other in a cage, whatever happens, I know we’ll find each other again.
Bellamy and Echo met in the most unlikely of circumstances, and their journey has been far from smooth, but the fact that they’ve overcome their past makes them that much stronger. Echo and Bellamy compliment each other in ways that make them a near perfect match, and we can’t wait to see them reunited in the valley.
7. Kane shows Abby how he feels
As far as first kisses go, Kane and Abby’s has to be one of the best. On The 100 Season 3 Episode 9 “Stealing Fire” Kane has been sentenced to death for mutiny against the elected chancellor.
Earlier in the episode, Abby admits her feelings for Kane, telling him she can’t watch him die and putting him on the same level of meaning to her as her late husband.
He urges her not to risk her life for him, but she does it anyway. When she chooses to stay behind with their people, Kane realizes the time to let her know he feels the same is now or never. He pulls her in for a heart-stopping kiss pouring all of the love that’s been building between them for the past 3 Seasons into this moment.
Abby kisses him back like she’s been waiting for this moment since they came to the ground. Her smile when they pull apart is bright and hopeful enough to power Arkadia for a year.

So many beautiful moments between all these amazing couples. The Clexa moments especially made me a bit teary-eyed, I miss them.
Thank you, I’m glad you enjoyed the list! And thank you for reading, I miss them too!
For me Kabby is the best couple of the the 100 and the all show Because they have grown up together during all these seasons, they have left behind their differences and have looked after the future of their people, always what they create correct to save the life from the people that love, both do there is crosswise they have known how to look toward the future of his errors, to learn the one of the other one and what’s more import it is both chose to die to save the life from the other one and of his people. And all the moments of this couple are my favorite because in all thous moment they show they love for the other one.
I have a few romantic moments: Finn tells Clarke that everything he did was for her & all that mattered to him was that she was safe, him telling her that he loves her, Clarke crying over Finn’s unconscious body telling him she can’t do this without him, and their final kiss, love you, and him saying thank princess. Also, pretty much any moment between Echo and Bellamy but when they kiss in front of Octavia & Clarke, them cuddling by the fire, their first kiss, & Bellamy saying if Echo leaves then he’s leaving with her. Octavia & Levitt, Hope & Jordan. Clarke tending to Lexa’s wounds after her fight & Clarke drawing Lexa. Murphy and Emori in his mind drive. Finn arranging Raven’s spacewalk.
My favorite scene is when Lexa bowed to Clarke in private swearing to treat her needs as her own and her people as hers. As ruthless as she was… this was the one time she was at her most vulnerable and she didn’t show it to a crowd of ambassadors but just to Clarke. It was like saying: “This is who I am. And you are the one who gets to see me.”
