The Lost Delinquents Week: Day 6: Fox
Fox is one of the first recurring delinquents (non-main) we see in the show. She can be seen strapped in one of the seats against the wall in the dropship in the “Pilot.” I couldn’t get a good look, since it happens so fast, but I also believe she is one of the two delinquents that one of the guys who dies during the land slams into.
She’s seen once again towards the end of the episode as Mbege and Murphy remove her wristband, and she’s later seen chanting along with the others to their new motto “Whatever the hell we want!”
We don’t see her again until 1x05 “Twilight’s Last Gleaming” when Raven’s pod has come down to earth and Clarke and Finn have returned to camp. Fox comes up to them “Did you guys see that? You know it’s from the Ark, right? It had to be” Clarke tells her to grab her stuff and they’ll go find out, but she tells them Bellamy said they were going to wait til sunlight.
In 1x09 “Unity Day” She stands near Raven and Miller watching the monitor that’s broadcasting the Unity Day pageant from the Ark. Later, she’s part of the group playing the drinking game with Clarke. It’s Fox, Clarke, Sterling, and I think maybe Miller, I’m going off the beanie and jacket cause I couldn’t get a good look at his face. It could have just been a random delinquent, though.
After the virus has started to spread in 1x10 “I Am Become Death” Fox starts to collapse near Raven, and winds up coughing/spraying blood into the eyes/face of one of the boys who tries to catch her. This is what causes the mass panic and for Clarke to disappear into the dropship before returning and firing into the air to get everyone to try and calm down some.
The last time we see her in season one is 1x13 “We Are Grounders Part 2.” She’s walking behind Miller and Drew as they make their way through the woods, and she’s one of the delinquents that doesn’t carry a weapon. She’s close when Drew gets the throwing weapon to the face. Later in the episode when the Ark starts falling from the sky she asks Clarke if it’s from the Ark, only for Clarke to reply that it IS the Ark. After Jasper fires the rockets and barbecues the attacking grounders, she is one of the first to exit the dropship. Third to be exact. First is Clarke and second is Harper. We see her, like several of the others, looking at the charred bodies before the knockout gas comes in.
Fox is among the delinquents gathered around Jasper in 2x11 “Coup de Grace” when he tells them that they’re getting out and to pack up. She questions what’s going on, and Monty explains that Mt. Weather had been lying to them. The Ark was on the ground and they weren’t safe there. She starts to pack up her stuff when the doors close and they’re locked inside.
The next episode 2x12 “Rubicon” she is with Miller, Monty, and Harper as Jasper tells them he saw Bellamy. The second time Dr. Tsing and the guards come to take someone she is standing behind Jasper and Harper, and after the fight breaks out (which is easily subdued by the guards) we can see her bending down behind Harper, seeing if she’s okay and most likely going to help her back up.
In 2x13 “Resurrection” she takes out the cameras and is about to go take care of the ones in the hall, but is stopped by Monty who says they will need them.
When the guards blow the door off in the hall and start to make their way to the room they’ve barricaded themselves in, she expresses her worry to Jasper.
“We are not ready for this”
“Yes we are. Just follow the plan and we’ll be okay….I promise”
“Okay.” The look on her face is still one of a scared kid, but she’s putting trust in Jasper. They’ll be okay. She’ll be okay. Only this doesn’t happen, and when they think they’ve had a victory, the sounds of Fox screaming can be heard. The guards had taken her during the fight.
“Jasper! You promised!” she screams and Jasper tries to run after her, but is stopped my Miller.
Fox is being taking to the harvesting room, and she is screaming, crying and struggling against the much larger men all the way. She sees the bodies of the previous two delinquents that had been taken, and after she sees the chair they’re going to kill her in she pushes one of the guys, knocking him into a shelf and turns to run to the door.
Another guard is at the door and she stops, but to her surprise he turns his gun from her to the other guards, shooting them dead. He removes his helmet and Fox sees it’s Bellamy, and she runs and throws her arms around him, sobbing.
Maya takes them to her quarters and she tries to convince her dad to help them. Vincent is wary of this because he doesn’t want Maya to wind up hurt or worse, but she reminds him of what he and her mother had stood for. It isn’t until after Fox looks at him and says “Please. They’re killing us. We don’t have anywhere else to go” that he decides to let them stay for the night. Maya then takes Fox back to her bedroom.
Fox has been found along with Miller, Jasper, and Maya in 2x15 “Blood Must Have Blood Part 1″ and is handcuffed and walking with them and two guards when they’re stopped by Maya’s dad. Bellamy is hiding in the air duct nearby and kills one guard, before Miller managers to knockout (maybe kill) the other. Vincent removes the cuffs and Fox and Miller go with him to the Harvest Chamber where they’ll be safe.
In 2x16 “Blood Must Have Blood Part 2″ Octavia sees a body come out of the chute into the bin in the tunnel. She looks inside and we see that it’s Fox, her body is bloody and bruised and has drill marks in it. Sometime between their capture in the Harvest Chamber and then she’d been drilled in and killed.
We see Fox again, though, during the flashback scenes of 3x13 “Join or Die.” She sits in the front seat of the Earth Skills class for the first few lessons Pike gives. When they’re waiting around for Pike to come in before the last one she is sitting and talking with Harper, and during this class sits behind her.
When Pike starts to slap Murphy around she sits, watching shocked with a hand over her mouth, and as Pike pulls him up, she stands along with several of the others. As he starts tossing Murphy about the room she runs to the door, pounding on it and screaming for them to help them. Which, like the fact that there has to be a code entered to open the door from either side is kind of fucked up. Pike continues and some of the others try to physically get him off of Murphy, as Fox still frantically pounds the door until finally Kane and the guards enter.
My poor poor Fox. She started out so excited and hopeful. She seemed to get along with the other delinquents and had a curious nature. You can tell she wanted to go with Clarke to find what had fallen from the sky when Clarke tells her to go get her things. She gets scared, but through that fear she won’t go down without a struggle, even if she isn’t very strong. She thought she’d have a new life on the ground, only to have her first new home attacked by an army sent to wipe them out. She then thought she’d have another new life in some place safe from the grounders and with plenty of food and other things to go around, only to be killed because someone decided that her life was worth less than theirs’.
