and Richard Harmon.

[cheering]

Male Fan: I love you, Lindsey!

[cheering]

Eric (Moderator): So Eliza, let me ask you, because the storyline has huge implications...

[cheering]

Eric: We got a look there at how Clarke has to deal...

with all of this and she clearly is dealing with this loss.

At the same time she has to worry, yeah, whoever...

is the new Commander could be heading straight for my people.

And now the worst possible person is in that role.

So can you talk about going forward...

How much is the loss of Lexa weighing on her...

while she has to deal with so much else?

Eliza: Well, I think, firstly...

Clarke has always been very good at compartmentalizing.

She's always been very good at pushing forward in even the worst situations.

But this one's different. This is her love.

It's gonna be really, really, tricky for her.

I think it changes her. It really changes her for good.

But in true Clarke fashion, she will somehow get through it.

But, it really is such a hard situation for her.

Eric: Now, Bob, Bellamy has gone to some very dark places.

[cheering]

Eric: He now is secretly working against Pike, but...

not even his sister can trust in him at this point.

Bob: Wow, I mean, you're reaching there.

Eric: Can he earn back that trust with the people he worked so closely with in the past?

Bob: I think he's going to have to prove himself.

And he's going to have to learn some pretty tough leffons.

Leffons?

Yeah, leffons, whatever.

Lessons, with that.

I'm sorry, this lady with sign language is doing great things.

And 'leffons' isn't a word.

Now she's going to sign that.

But I think it's going to take some work to prove his worth to them.

Bob: I don't think that he can't be redeemed.

He still has a lot of qualities that are an asset to the Skaikru.

Hopefully, he'll end up changing his mind and making them see that.

Eric: Lindsey...

[cheering]

Same Male Fan: I love you, Lindsey!

Eric: He really loves you.

Eric: Raven was under the sway of the City of Light.

She is now rejecting that, but will it be that easy?

She did take the chip, and we see that Jaha has some other plan brewing.

So can she so easily say: "I'm out on this deal"?

Lindsey: That answer is definitely coming up.

As far as in the next episodes that follow.

I think you really get to see the hold the chip can put on people and what it can do to one's mind.

And how scary that is and how one could utterly lose control.

You see Raven really put her mentality to the test and also...

Her... her friends! Come to her rescue.

Crowd: Aww.

Lindsey: [laughs] It's good. Keep watching the next episodes. You'll get all your answers.

Eric: Meanwhile, Devon, for Jasper, he's been trying to join the City of Light.

Now that he's seeing, because he was with Raven, he saw the memories she was missing.

Has that sufficiently altered his path? Is he sufficiently out now on trying to take that chip?

Devon: I don't know if it sufficiently alters it.

Yeah. I mean, Jasper's been suffering major PTSD since Maya melted in his arms, and...

Crowd: [laughter]

I think he wants to do anything to forget that memory, but...

Seeing that Raven has forgotten about all of the good memories with Finn, it may change his mind a little bit?

But, you know, having someone melt in your arms is still pretty traumatic.

So it's kind of like a balancing act here.

Do I take it? Do I not take it? We'll see!

Eric: Flip of the coin.

Eric: Christopher...

Crowd & Richard: [cheering]

Eric: Monty, recently, it was good news bad news situation.

Because he was reunited with his mom!

But she kinda sucks.

Crowd: [laughter]

Eric: What does he do now that his loyalty is going to be very tested?

He's clearly trying to help save the lives of these people, but his mom is diehard Team Pike.

Christopher: Hey, quick show of hands, who hates my mom?

Crowd: [cheering]

Christopher: Okay, to everyone who just raised their hand:

Don't forget that before he came to the ground -- He spent four or five months with these fine people.

Before that, I think he had a pretty loving relationship with his parents on the Ark.

And so his mom is alone on the ground, she's lost her husband...

and if Monty turns his back on her then she has nobody.

So I think the issue isn't as black and white as that may initially seem.

He is very conflicted, but I think he's always trying to do the right thing, so we'll see which direction he goes.

Eric: So Richard, with...

Crowd: [cheering]

Richard: If this was season one you would've booed.

Crowd: [laughter]

Richard: I'll be glad I get a couple cheers now.

Eric: There's eight episodes left this season.

How many more times will Murphy get beat up?

Richard: Oh boy. I like how that's my question too.

Eric: I'll let you think on that.

Richard: Well, I mean, I can't spoil anything, but I think consistency is the key.

Crowd: [laughter]

Richard: So, I think, probably, you're guaranteed a few more times at least.

Eric: On a more serious note, Murphy, he was taken to Polis.

He really was thrown into this situation.

How is he reacting to everything happening around him?

Because he was really thrown in there, and there's so much, so many huge events happening.

Richard: I mean, for Murphy being thrown into the fire, that's not anything new to him.

That's kind of been his MO since being on the ground. He's gone from one bad situation to another.

So I think he's taking it the same way he takes all situations for him.

Which is just -- He analyzes the situation to see what he can do to survive.

Then he makes sure that's what he does. So far he's had a pretty good record of that.

Eric: What I think is incredible about the Murphy experience this season...

is that he somehow has found himself as the only person who knows everything.

He knows everything about what happened to Jaha... Richard: It's true.

Eric: He knows everything about what happened with Lexa and the flame.

And so he becomes the accidental hero in many ways that I think people would not have guessed...

in season one, certainly. Which is incredible.

Jason: In large part a testament to how great Richard is.

Bob: We get it, Jason. You love Murphy.

Crowd: [laughter]

Jason: I like too many one-liners from Murphy. I always have to cut them out.

Richard: I like saying them.

Eric: The "Murphy Experience" would be an amazing band name, by the way.

Bob: Sounds like a ride at Universal.

Lindsey: That Bob wants to go on.

Bob: Oh yeah. Twice.

Eric: As I was mentioning here, Jason, we've just got the worst case scenario as the new commander.

What can you say about what will the next move be for Clarke and also for someone like Roan, who is there?

Jason: Well, I mean, she's not the commander yet. She doesn't have the flame yet.

Eric: That's true.

Jason: The process is you win the conclave, i.e. kill all the other initiates.

Which she did, and there are no rules, so you can cheat like she did.

And then you have to ascend. The ascension ceremony is the ceremony in which the flame is put into...

the next commander. The next commander receives the memories and minds and wisdom of the commanders prior.

That hasn't happened yet. We'll see how that plays out.

Whether or not that happens. Don't want to tease too much about it.

But, it's not a straight path.

Eric: Eliza, Clarke really has no idea about the whole City of Light, and Murphy does, but even he wouldn't know...

what's going on back at Arkadia.

I'm guessing that might change at some point. Anything you can say about how she might react?

You know, given that this is a huge revelation about all of these things that are happening to people she cares about.

Eliza: Yeah, it's, like, my mind was blown even just when I read properly what was going on in Arkadia and with Jaha and everything.

Eliza: I think she's definitely going to learn more. I'm sure you can all gather that.

But, yeah, her mind will be like... "pew!"

Crowd: [laughter]

Jason: Murphy downloaded Clarke on everything in between episode 7 and 9. Eliza: Yeah.

Jason: She knows everything about what you guys just saw.

Eric: Outside Arkadia?

Jason: Whatever Murphy knows, Clarke knows. Eliza: Yeah.

Eric: Bob, let me come back to you. Bellamy siding with Pike in the first place.

He did some very dark actions.

What do you think it was that made him decide to side with him and go along with that initially?

Bob: Initially, I, I have to kind of call back.

But, look, I think that Bellamy with his experience with the Grounders has never really been positive.

There was a hundred kids that were trying to survive. An army started, we tried to retreat...

and they killed us, and fenced us in, and we had to fight our way out.

Bellamy went into Mount Weather and released hundreds of Grounders that were supposed to...

help him fight, and they just abandoned them, and left Skaikru there.

I think once Mount Weather went down, I think he'd had enough. It was the straw that broke the camel's back.

And he decided that he was going to take action with Pike, even though Pike's actions were very drastic.

You hear that Bellamy tried to stop them out on the battlefield, but still failed to do that.

I think that Bellamy was tired of living under the law of the Grounders.

Who haven't necessarily treated him, the Skaikru, the way that he thought they would.

People have to keep in mind that Bellamy wasn't privy to any conversations that Clarke and Lexa were having.

So what the audience knew is something that Bellamy did not know.

So he went forward with Pike.

I think that's pretty true to the way Bellamy was in the first season.

Kind of acts first and asks questions later.

Now a lot of questions are being asked.

In terms of that, I understand why he sided with Pike.

Eric: Lindsey, Raven first took the chip over the despair over her leg, which is...

a plot line that has gone on for quite awhile. She was injured at the end of season one.

Whatever happens next, she might be turning her back on the City of Light or not.

Do you think she can reconcile the situation? It really seemed like something she was not able to move past.

That's why she took the chip in the first place.

Lindsey: Reconcile as far as...?

Eric: Living with it. Lindsey: Living with it?

Eric: Being okay with it in some way.

Lindsey: Yeah, I think that's one of the most interesting things about this storyline.

Especially with Raven, because she always was such a physically and mentally strong character.

The disability threw her on her ass. It threw her on her ass in so many more ways...

than just "Oh, my body can no longer move the way I want it to."

It created such a chronic depression inside of her, and I kind of feel like...

most of Raven's obstacles and monsters this season are inside of her.

That people can't see.

She's the only person that can get herself outside that hole.

So it's really interesting to me how the City of Light became a desperate beacon of salvation.

And then she's finding it to be an abysmal hell that she has to once again get herself out of.

So, I think she's... It's tested her in so many ways. She's building herself to be that much stronger.

Eric: What do you think you'd say, Jason or anyone, if Jason lets you...

about other people who might be tempted by this chip and by the City of Light.

Jason: I'll say that Jaha and ALIE are on a mission to chip all of the people that are left on Earth.

And they went to, very smartly I think, Raven first. Because if they could make Raven...

feel good then 'the poster child' and people would line up, and that's in fact what happened.

But, I don't think they counted on Raven's tenacity and her strength of mind.

I think we will now see that as something that ALIE is going to have to figure out a way around.

"Can she overcome Raven's free will?" is sort of an arc going forward.

I think at some point everybody will be tempted, and we will have to wait and see who succumbs to that temptation.

Bob: Jason, with this chips, are they liked flavored?

Crowd: [laughter]

Lindsey: Mine was barbecue.

Jason: They're like Listerine breath strips.
