Okay, this is longer than I expected so sorry in advance.

We know that Clarke will most likely go to CoL and she’ll see L.exa and Jasper. Why is Jasper there? Will he die? Oh man, I hope not. So will he take the chip? That’s something I can’t figure out but I think he is not dead. Just notice the difference, okay? The videos showed us that Clarke is talking to L.exa, L.exa’s fighting some guys, Clarke’s hurt and all that jazz BUT the video where we could see Eliza and Devon is different. It seems Clarke is looking at Jasper while he’s sitting at the bench and eating ice cream but he can’t see her. He completely ignores her, like she’s not there at all. L.exa can see Clarke, Jasper can’t. This is not a coincidence and this is the reason why I think Jasper’s not dead. But this is not what I wanted to talk about.

So, Clarke’s in CoL and it has been said that “love is not a weakness, love is a strength” is the theme of the season. (Personally, I think the theme of the season, and the show as a whole, is “There are no good guys” but let’s just go with what we have). This is where Bellamy comes to a play. He has had a rough season, they wanted us to see Bellamy as a villain (didn’t really work though, the more they were trying to made me hate him, the more i was determined to defend him, explain his POV and his reasoning). Anyway, even before the season premiere aired, Jason said that “Bellamy will be recognized as a hero he is”. Until now, we have seen the opposite. We have watched how Bellamy is making all the bad choices and wrong decisions even though he thought well. He wanted the best for his people and he was (and still is) willing to sacrifice everything he has, including himself and his own sanity, to accomplish this goal. As Kane pointed out, there’s a difference between doing what is best for your people and doing what is right. Since season 1, Bellamy’s always been doing the first. In order to be a good leader, you need to be both - that’s why Bellamy and Clarke function that well together (the head and the heart is a very fitting metaphor) and that’s also something Kane was trying to teach Bellamy because he saw the potential in him. It would be awesome if Bellamy learnt to do the latter in 3b and became the hero he is. Damn, I didn’t want to talk about this either. Back to the point.

Hopefully “love is not a weakness, love is a strength” also means that love is the key to CoL. Love could break you free, love could get you out of there. And who has been addressed as a key TWICE? Bellamy, that’s right.  So my ideal scenario goes like this - the bond between Bellamy and Clakre will bring Clarke back. Their love for each other goes way deeper than “ordinary” romatic love. It’s so strong that it will break Alie’s influence on Clarke and her control over the CoL. Look, I’m not saying I want romantic Bellarke this season (because I don’t want that, like at all), all I’m saying is that they have some strong feelings for each other. I would love to see them acknowledge these feelings. No, I don’t want Bellarke kiss or anything. Neither of them is ready. I want them to come back to Arkadia, walk through the gate side by side (hold hands maybe?) and say “together”. This time, they are in this together, they are unbreakable and prepared for anything.
