Will Finn die in The 100 season 2, episode 8? These images might give us a clue.
The mid-season finale of The 100 season 2 airs tomorrow, and we are expecting to be left on a major cliffhanger.
Last week, Lexa gave Clarke an ultimatum: peace with the Grounders, if the Ark survivors deliver Finn to be executed for his crimes.
Blood must have blood, after all, and while it is a barbaric practice, it makes sense that the Grounders would follow an eye-for-an-eye morality code.
But will Finn die? Thomas McDonell has been conspicuously absent at media events and interview calls, and the character is unfortunately one of the least-liked in the fan community (although he is one of this writer’s favourites).

The 100 season 2, episode 8 is titled “Spacewalker,” and will feature flashbacks to Raven and Finn’s childhood on the Arc.
The synopsis reads:
“AN EYE FOR AN EYE – Clarke (Eliza Taylor) returns to Camp Jaha with devastating news. Finn (Thomas McDonell) struggles with the aftermath of his actions. Abby (Paige Turco) gathers information from an unlikely source and prepares for a fight. Meanwhile, flashbacks reveal Finn and Raven’s (Lindsey Morgan) relationship on the Ark.”
You can clearly see how affected Raven is by Finn’s impending death in the stills below:
There is another option, of course, which would leave fans shocked and reeling as we head into the hiatus: if The 100 kills off Raven instead of Finn.
What better punishment for Finn, after all, than seeing one of the people he loves killed for crimes he committed? Finn seems willing to go to his death to save his friends, and the Grounders might think death is too easy for him – it would be far worse to live, knowing what his actions have caused.
We would be very upset to see any of The 100 characters killed off, but it is unrealistic to expect everyone to survive – after all, the writers don’t want to make us happy. They want to make a good, engaging TV show.
Do you think Finn will die in tomorrow’s episode? Or Raven, or any of the other main characters?
