I'm going to watch the episode next week, when it's on Netflix.

I have to disagree here. While sometimes I don't see the supposed feelings that Bellarke have for each other that the shippers do, I do think the writers purposely plant things. Last season when Bellamy ran to Echo the camera definitely panned to Clarke and lingered on her reaction. That is a technique used all the time in soap operas they use all the time. Ditto for last year's finale ending on Bellarke arm in arm looking at the new world after they meet Jordan. While it technically was platonic it was shot to look romantic as anyone who would have tuned it at the one moment would have thought them a couple.
I don't ship them either and don't always see what shippers see but they are definitely planting some of those scenes on purpose, maybe as an acknowledgment to the fanbase? Who knows but I get why they have so many shippers, the writers put more effort into their scenes than their other relationships.
