* It is revealed that the "Naming Day" for someone with Nightblood (termed "royal blood" on Sanctum) involves using chips ("Mind Drives") which ''completely overwrite'' any person's existing personality and memories (very similar to ALIE 1.0's ability to delete/suppress memories, and render a person nothing but a vessel for her to speak from), all so people who lived 200 years before can ensure their immortality for as long as black blooded people continue to be born.

Added DiffLines:

* Charlotte's murder of Wells is particularly unnerving. She sits down next to him on watch, and he is nothing but friendly to her. She then cuts his throat when he turns away (copying Clarke's MercyKill of Atom) and then wildly slices at him as he tries to fend her off, which ends up cutting off a few of his fingers as he dies. Then his body has vanished by the beginning of the next episode, leaving only his severed fingers behind for Clarke to find.


Added DiffLines:

* The climax of the Season sees Bellamy and Clarke jointly commit genocide by irradiating Mount Weather, killing not only their enemies, but all of their allies within the mountain who were honestly trying to help them, including Maya.

* Otori revealing that she has "won" the conclave by murdering the other Nightbloods - all children - in their sleep, by dumping their heads out on the throne room floor.



** And how this changes [[spoiler:Raven.]] They're just... gone. And instead, ALIE is puppeting their body. [[spoiler: Lindsey Morgan (Raven)]] perfectly imitating ALIE's body language, with Erica Cerra's (ALIE's) voice coming from their body, is complete uncanny valley nightmare fuel.
