Episode Wrap Up: The latest episode of The Originals
begins with a travel back time to Cadiz, Spain in 1702 where Klaus and Elijah
are searching for their younger brother Kol who has been having his fair share
of vamp fun slaughtering people and drinking up blood to his merry content. Elijah
and Klaus are in a hurry. Mikael, dear old psycho of a father, is after them
and they need Kol to get moving to the ship before Mikael finds them. But
little brother Kol isn’t all that ready to leave. Too bad big brothers aren’t
above bullying him into submission if it means keeping themselves alive to
fight another day. Klaus daggers Kol with one of the four magical daggers that
can imprison an Original but before Kol takes a nap for the next couple of
years, he vows he will find a way to get back at Klaus.
Enter present day
with Kol in a borrowed body (a VERY sexy body we might add!), walking the
streets of the French Quarter in New Orleans, using his magic to create mischief
wherever he goes. Kol is keeping tabs on Davinia for his witch of a mother.
Back at the Mikaelson compound, Elijah has his hands full, what with Hayley
eating witches for breakfast because she can’t seem to control her new hybrid
temper and has a MEGA vendetta against them (who could blame her though, the
dang witches tried to kill her baby!), and Klaus is more than happy to let
Hayley go on a rampage against the witches. Elijah on the other hand wants
Hayley’s humanity and dignity to stay intact so he commands little brother
Klaus to take Hayley to the werewolves and see what they can do for her.
On the other
side of town, Marcel is in pursuit of building a new army of vampires since his
were all slaughtered during the end of the first season. As Elijah finds Marcel
giving a good yet really creepy speech about what it’ll take to be one of the
creatures that goes bump in the night, we travel back in time to an older New
Orleans in 1821. Marcel is a young boy under Elijah’s tutelage and Klaus is
bored out of his mind. He sets Kol free from his long slumber and of course
those two get into way too much trouble, killing and eating people left and
right. Elijah wants to take young Marcel away for his own safety which makes
Klaus freak out. Papa bear won’t let Marcel being taken away, he’d rather stake
Kol back into sleep again which only pisses Kol off. Kol decides to give Marcel
an education in the theater by having servants act it out and killing them in
front of the boy if they don’t perform well. Elijah tries to take Kol out but
Klaus steps in and daggers Kol back to sleep again because he refuses to allow
anyone to mess with Marcel.
Present day:
Elijah gives Marcel an offer: he helps him locate the white oak stake and he
won’t take down his new army of vamps. He tells Marcel to get Davina to help
him find the stake or (in not so subtle terms) he’ll go after her himself. But
Elijah isn’t the only one who wants Davina. Kol has been keeping track of her
and informs his mother she’s hiding something in the basement of the church.
While they try to figure out what Davina is up to, Mommy dearest is using the
witch coven to make daylight rings for the werewolves. She’s building in army
of her own to take war to Klaus and Elijah.
Marcel meets up
with Davina to ask for her help but when Elijah interrupts, Davina refuses and
Elijah comes to the realization Davina knows exactly where the white oak stake
is. Back in the werewolf compound, Klaus is making Hayley face her fears by
having her speak to the werewolves of her pack that are left. She is after all
their queen and should be the one in charge. If the other werewolf covens team
up against them, they will need Hayley’s werewolf coven to fight back. But
Oliver (the werewolf that betrayed her werewolf pack in season 1 and has
decided to become leader in Hayley’s absence) is making things difficult. Klaus
has no problem ending his life to make the transition to Hayley’s new
leadership easier. But Hayley steps in to save Oliver and Klaus leaves her to
deal with making sure the wolf pack listens to her.
Klaus heads off
to the cemetery where the witches seem to enjoy hanging out and comes face to
face with his mom—or well, the sixteen-year-old girl’s body she’s taken over—except
he doesn’t know his mom. They have such a pleasant conversation: “My mother was
insane . . . She believed we were an abomination. A curse on this earth stretched
out over generations . . . But she was the true monster. She changed her
children, stole our innocence, made us vampires, condemned us to an eternity of
bloodlust and then acted as if we were to blame.” After the not so subtle
threats are exchanged, Klaus makes an exit seeing as how the witch has an
entire werewolf pack ready to attack him if he tries anything.
While Mom keeps
older bro Klaus occupied, Kol takes Davina to dinner which turns into a HUGE
disaster! Werewolves come out to play and Davina can’t hold them off. Kol isn’t
much help. So Davina let’s Mikael free and Daddy comes in to kick some MAJOR butt!
He pretty much throws the wolves around likes rag dolls; ripping out hearts
like it requires no strength at all. Davina ends up losing her bracelet in a
scoff with a werewolf and Mikael decides to take full advantage by trying to
kill her. Except Elijah steps in to save her. Marcel gets Davina back her
bracelet and Davina orders Mikael back to the attic.
Once Klaus is
back at the compound, he informs Elijah he knows Cassie is really their mother
and in Klaus like fashion declares, “I’m going to kill her. I will boil her
bones and feed them to the dogs if that’s what it takes.” Elijah puts a dent in
his feasting by informing him that their father has also returned. Klaus decides
there’s only one question they need to answer: “Which of their parents do they
kill first?”
Hayley brings
back the pack of wolves to stay at the compound. Elijah decides to put distance
between himself and Hayley and Klaus. It’s the same thing he did when Kol was
put back to sleep with threatening Marcel. Elijah wants Klaus to be redeemed
and he thinks having Klaus get closer to Hayley will help. Kol doesn’t want to
play by mom’s rules anymore and so when she nearly tries to kill him, he decides
to keep mum (haha) on the fact that Davina is hiding dear old dad in the attic
of the church. Elijah pays a visit to Marcel and Marcel tells him his threats
don’t really matter in the long scheme of things because with Mikael back it
means all vampires can be killed. He tells Elijah to pick a side Team Wolf
(with Hayley and Klaus) or Team Vampire (with him). He then proceeds to kill a
new recruit named Gia who he had fed his blood earlier and tells Elijah once
she wakes up she’s gonna need a mentor, Elijah is it.
Our Thoughts: *lots of screaming* *lots of
hyperventaliting* *lots of flailing around aimlessly*
Take deep
breaths, people!
HOLY COW!! This
episode of The Originals was OFF THE CHARTS good!! All the twistiness, all the
bloodshed, all the threats from Klaus we just love. SUCH A FRIGGIN GOOD
EPISODE!!! *Ahhhh*
Klaus mentoring
Hayley, helping her to find healing while learning to master her new hybrid
side and gather up the pack, is great to watch. Klaus has some humanity left
underneath his constant thirst for blood and vengeance. To see him as broken
about having to give up his baby girl as Hayley just makes us want to hug him.
Yeah, we know. Klaus equals evil. But he was turned that way from his effed up
parents, so we feel for him. I mean we aren’t going around demanding blood or
ripping out hearts or trying to conquer a city, but we know that sometimes
families can be difficult =P
Poor Elijah. He’s
always the one who has to be noble and do what’s right for the greater good—particularly
when it comes to his family, especially when it comes to Klaus. He had a great
relationship with Marcel until he saw how jealous Klaus was getting, so he
ruined his relationship with Marcel so Klaus could get closer to him. It’s the
same he’s doing with Hayley. Man, Elijah is one hell of a loyal brother! Aside
from the whole being-dead-but-alive-vampire-thing, he’d totes make an awesome
boyfriend! *swoon*
Klaus and Elijah’s
little brother Finn seems to be as cray cray as the mom and dad. Kol just wants
to have fun and get some revenge on his big bro’s for making sleep for like a
thousand years. We hope Kol ends up siding with Elijah and Klaus. He’s just too
charming and funny and hot to be killed off by following his loco mom.
When Mikael
showed up to take out all there werewolves in the bar that attacked Davina—that
scene was EPIC!! He just stepped in, took out a fleet of werewolves who all
jumped him at the same time. Just swung them off of him like he hadn’t been
dead for a bizllion years. It was NUTS! I mean Daddy is psycho to the core but
he can definitely be a good asset in a war, just sayin’ ;)
CANNOT. WAIT.
FOR. THE. NEXT. EPISODE!!!

amusing that you think you have a choice.”

“Hold your
tongue, or I will tear it from your gaping mouth.”

the witch. Seems I need to educate her as to what she may or may not do in my
