The 100’s Rubicon episode boasts that “In war, people will die”
Rubicon is the title for The 100‘s twelve episode of this season. The word “rubicon” may have much to do with the idiom “Crossing the Rubicon”, which means to pass a point of no return. This is a direct reference to Julius Caesar’s army crossing the Rubicon river, and thus instigating a rebellion.
How it relates to this episode lies clearly in the way that not only the young generation, including the 100 and the son of the President Wallace, Cage Wallace, but also could be foreshadowing the events that will take place in Mount Weather. Of course, considering how much tension there is between the people all the different factions of people, it could just be referencing insurrection in general.
CHOOSE YOUR PATH WISELY — Tensions between Clarke (Eliza Taylor) and Abby (Paige Turco) come to a head after Clarke crosses the line. Raven (Lindsey Morgan) helps Bellamy (Bob Morley) navigate Mount Weather. Jaha (Isaiah Washington) and Murphy (guest star Richard Harmon) encounter a stranger who may not be what she seems.
