‘The 100’ Season 5 Episode 5 Preview and Photos: “Shifting Sands”

The CW’s The 100 season five episode four found Diyoza (Ivana Milicevic) and her fellow prisoners agreeing to opening the bunker. Bellamy repelled down and was shocked to see not only Octavia’s transformation, but also the fighting pit spattered with blood. Clarke was finally reunited with her mom, however their reunion was short-lived as Diyoza (of course) went back on their deal. Diyoza and her crew want the entire livable valley to themselves and they threatened to kill everyone if Abby didn’t volunteer to help the sick prisoners. Meanwhile up on the Ark, Raven and Murphy were forced into making the difficult decision to wake the prisoners in order to save their own lives.

Next up, season five episode five titled “Shifting Sands” airing May 22, 2018. Episode five was directed by Omar Madha from a script by Nick Bragg.


The season five cast includes Eliza Taylor as Clarke Griffin, Paige Turco as Dr. Abigail Griffin, Bob Morley as Bellamy Blake, Marie Avgeropoulos as Octavia Blake, Lindsey Morgan as Raven Reyes, Christopher Larkin as Monty Green, Henry Ian Cusick as Marcus Kane, Richard Harmon as John Murphy, Luisa d’Oliveira as Emori, Chelsey Reist as Harper, and Tasya Teles as Echo.

The “Shifting Sands” Plot: CHALLENGES — Octavia (Avgeropoulos) leads her people towards Shallow Valley against the advice of Clarke (Taylor) and Bellamy (Morley). Meanwhile, Kane (Cusick) and Abby (Turco) adjust to a new set of challenges.

The Season 5 Plot: Over the last four seasons The 100 have fought to survive against unimaginable odds, only to see the world end for a second time. Season five begins six years later, with our heroes still separated: Bellamy’s team in space, Clarke on the ground, and hundreds trapped in the bunker below. But when a massive prison ship descends upon the last survivable place on earth, The 100 must come together to reclaim their home.

As two armies converge on one valley, alliances will shift, friends will become foes, and the march to war threatens to destroy all that’s left of the human race. Can our heroes break the cycle, or is humanity doomed to repeat the past? In this epic battle for survival, one thing is certain: there are no good guys.
