History Recap / The100S01E02

* AbsenteeActor: Kelly Hu as Cece. Her character was DroppedAfterThePilot, but her name still appears in the credits.

* TheReveal: Raven's unnamed boyfriend who is a member of the 100 is Finn, and he made her raven necklace. He later makes a two-headed deer necklace for Clarke, implying he's edging closer to YourCheatingHeart.

* BadassPacifist: Wells turns out to be this. He successfully defeats Murphy in a knife fight with relative ease. Later he manages to kill a panther with Bellamy's pistol, while it is mid-jump to boot.

* DueToTheDead: Wells takes the opportunity to bury the two delinquents who died on impact. He's apparently the only member of the delinquents in the camp to care enough to do so.
* EstablishingCharacterMoment: Raven Reyes. A reckless mechanic who comes in hot with a spacewalk and begins taking off her helmet before the airlock is fully pressurized, and immediately starts asking why there is no damage from the Drop Ship being ejected. Then she immediately guesses the Drop Ship was deliberately launched, and strips down to her underwear in front of everyone, changes, and tries to visit her boyfriend in lockup. So far she is a ThrillSeeker, WrenchWench, and MsFanservice. Later she graduates to being GenreSavvy.

* FakingTheDead: Bellamy continues to convince the others to remove their wristbands, in the effort of making the Ark think that they are all dead.

* GoodAngelBadAngel: Abby and Kane take on this role for Jaha, with Abby advocating waiting to cull members of the Ark in order to wait for more data from the 100, with Kane advocating the culling begin immediately.

* JustAFleshWound: Jasper's spear wound turns out to be this. It helps that the grounders took efforts to treat his injury with an antibiotic algi.

* RevealingCoverUp: As part of the plan to disguise the failure of the oxygen system, the Ark government claims the Drop Ship was ejected, not launched, due to a dangerous malfunction, and the 100 are still in their cells. Then they stage a sickness outbreak in Lockup and quarantine it to disguise their absence. Raven doesn't buy it for a second.

* SpikesOfDoom: A hidden pit of these guards a wounded Jasper. Clarke actually falls in, but Bellamy manages to save her before she is speared.
* TheStarscream: Played with. Jaha and Abby both suspect that Kane deliberately set up Bellamy to assassinate Jaha, so that Kane could become chancellor. Kane categorically denies it, but admits that he thinks Jaha is too weak to make the necessary choices that come with the job. The audience is given no evidence to support either claim.

** During the vote of the council aboard the Ark, Chancellor Jaha is given the task of breaking the tie, choosing either to cull over 200 members of the Ark or to do nothing. Jaha chooses to abstain his vote, automatically forcing the council to vote again in 10 days to break the tie, so that Abby can gain the necessary time to establish contact with the 100 on the ground.

* BioluminescenceIsCool: Another addition, along with the glowing fungi, Octavia and Atom discover a flutter of beautiful glowing blue butterflies.

** Raven Reyes has a distinctive metal necklace in the shape of an origami raven.

* YouRemindMeOfSomeone: Abby, with regards to Raven. It's what endears Raven to her, despite her hostility towards Abby.

* IconicItem: Clarke and Finn find Jasper's goggles during their search and rescue mission.

* YouRemindMeOf: Abby, with regards to Raven. It's what endears Raven to her, despite her hostility towards Abby.

* ForTheEvulz: Murphy holds one of the delinquents over a fire in order to increase her vitals before taking off her wristband, making it seem like she died of radiation poisoning. There were a lot less painful/distressing options available.

* KickTheDog: Murphy, when he holds a girl over an open flame. He claims that it was to make the Ark think that they are suffering from the radiation.

* WalkingShirtlessScene: Bellamy spends a good portion of the opening act shirtless. He's definitely MrFanservice.

Then they stage a sickness outbreak in Lockup and quarantine it to disguise their absence. Raven doesn't buy it for a second.
