The 100 Boss Previews Octavia's Identity Crisis in Season 4: 'Who Is She Now That Lincoln's Gone?' 

If you thought Octavia’s quest for vengeance ended when she killed Pike on

‘s third season finale, you’re in for a rude awakening when the CW drama returns for Round 4 this February.

The 100 Season 4: Octavia Unleashed, ‘Bellarke’ Bonding and 25 Other Key Moments From the Trailer

“Octavia’s story in Season 4 is amazing,” executive producer Jason Rothenberg tells TVLine. “She’s got quite a journey ahead of her, and it gets darker before it gets lighter. She’s taking a detour into assassin land. She’ll do whatever she feels she needs to do to hide the pain from the loss of Lincoln.”

In addition to hiding her pain, Bellamy’s sister will also attempt to forge a new identity for herself.

“Who is she?” Rothenberg asks. “She’s not Skaikru. She’s not Trikru. Who is she now that Lincoln is gone, and that her brother — in her mind — is responsible for so many difficult choices? They have some work to do on their relationship. It’s too bad there aren’t any family therapists in this future.”

Though there’s hope for the siblings to mend broken fences, Rothenberg acknowledges that any sort of healing is going to take a while.

“Part of Bellamy’s journey is realizing that Octavia is her own person and that he needs to let her figure things out for herself,” he explains. “He feels incredibly protective of her. His identity, in my ways, is wrapped up in her existence. He feels like her parent, and like all parents, he needs to realize that you have to let your children fly on their own at some point.”

as for hopes – no Bellamy and Clarke hook up… just no.. please please, pretty please, just no.

Omigosh agreed, that would be one way to really kill the show. I miss Lexa sooo much though, of all the characters they could have killed! It’s a bit wishy washy though. They made her like half terminator in the end being some sort of freaky A.I. I was like, I hope this is there way of trying to make the story open. Poor Clarke always gets the brunt of everything, I hope she isn’t going to be permanently blind or something from that radiation.

Also, if they make either Octavia or Luna try to replace Lexa, I can’t see that going down well.

” her brother — in her mind — is responsible for so many difficult choices?”

hope the show will acknowledge that Bellamy isn’t the one to blame for Lincoln’s death, hope Octavia will finally see this. And yes – Bellamy needs to let her go.

Here’s the thing. Bellamy is responsible or has to take on responsibility for a lot of terrible things that happened last season. That’s not just in Octavia’s mind.

Everyone makes their own choices and Bellamy made his when he decided to side with Pike and went on killing sprees with him, supported his xenophobic ideas and played his little loyal soldier boy for a long time. He may not have pulled the trigger himself when it came to Lincoln, but Octavia has every right to be upset with him for the poor, poor choices he made last season.

That doesn’t mean she in turn is perfect and does not have to take on responsibilty of her own, but they’re not going to mend that relationship if they act like certain things are just in Octavia’s head and the only issue with Bellamy’s half of that dynamic is him being too much of a clingy parent. That would be seriously missing the point.

But isn’t it typical Jason Rothenberg? For better or for worse, he holds his females and his males to different standards. Do you remember when he wrote a couple having a one night stand into the show and then on Twitter s-shamed the woman (Raven) for it? Because from the guy’s side having a one night stand like that is totally okay? It’s kind of like that. Only without a sexual connotation this time.

I like Octavia but I don’t like the writers trying to cast some conflict over the Bellamy/Octavia relationship. One-Just because Bellamy is not all grounders are my friends kumbaya doesn’t make him bad. These people including Lexa have all proven untrustworthy and Indra threw Octavia to the wolves first chance she got. So this grounders are good BS can kick rocks. Two-all the mains have lost someone they loved. Clarke lost her dad, Wells, Finn, and Lexa. Raven lost Finn. Jasper lost Maya. Monte lost his mother who he had to kill himself. And Bell lost his girlfriend Gina but my point is Octavia needs to get off her high horse about Lincoln as if the others don’t know that pain or loss. She ain’t no special snowflake that her pain should matter more. To see her turn against the one person whose always love and protected her over some penis makes me sick. You see where her loyalties lie. It makes me wonder if she even cares about her brother. He’s not responsible for someone else pulling the trigger. Just because he didn’t agree with grounder crap doesnt mean he fully agreed with Pike either. There is middle ground here and it’s not black and white. Of course she’s sad but the blame game is old and infuriating.

Fact that you act like some 2 eps guest star charas have the same importance as one of if not the single most established relationship of the entire show, but Lincoln is “some penis” that O. needs to get over already coz poor sad B. with his puppy dog eyes, never to blame for anything tells me everything I need to know tbh. So glad Ricky found something better, hope Marie’s next.

My point is no character on this show can be characterized as good or bad. The show doesn’t work that way. It’s not about how long a character was on. Case in point, Lexa, she was not a main character or on for just two episodes and yet so many took issue with her death. It didn’t matter because she became loved. Octavia looks at things as good side/bad side and sorry but she really does need to grow up looking at things from that perspective. They’ve all done questionable things including Lincoln so Octavis needs to fall back. It’s no the world according to her. And another point. Cradle to the grave with your siblings. Regardless of where you go in life, that’s a bond no one should break. Octavia has more loyality to Indra. Speaks volumes.

How about Octavia making amends towards Bellamy after she abused him and said he dead to her? Oh no, I forgot, we only care about white girl’s sad lives. Not their POC relatives they abuse.
