(Sorry
for the delay on these last two recaps, vacation and sickness kinda
got in my way, but I'm back now)
Previously
on The Originals
Elijah
made a treaty, everyone else seems to have ignored it. Vampire
attacks, suicide bombings at the werewolf camp and Francesca Correa
is a scheming bitch. Mikael wants Davina to bring him back from the
dead and Klaus is making moonlight rings for his werewolf buddies.
The witches are gunning for Klaus and Hayley's baby and Marcel is
generall being a bit of a prat.
NOW
Ollie
and Jackson are transporting the stones meant for the moonlight rings
when they are stopped by police...police in the employ of Marcel and
Diego. Seems like someone got word about the next stage in Klaus's
plan.
JOSH
HAS A DAYLIGHT RING!!! Oh yes, best thing I've seen in a while is
Josh catching some rays and checking out hot joggers, but Davina has
to bring the mood down, she knows things are about to get real and
wants Josh out of town. She's hallucinating Mikael and things are
looking bad since she's already helped Marcel with a cloaking spell,
she doesn't want Josh in the middle of it all.
Meanwhile,
in the swankiest wine cellar come dining room I have ever seen,
Genevieve is all giddy over the spells from Esther's grimoire that
she needs to make the moonlight rings. Klaus springs it on her that
she isn't just making one for Hayley, but about a hundred so all the
wolves will be protected, not the deal she worked out with Elijah but
Klaus sweetens the deal by offering her the entire grimoire in
exchange for her complete loyalty. She's not sure but Klaus reminds
her that if she has anyone to fear it's her coven who want her dead,
not Klaus or the wolves.
Cami
has just cracked the code from the box when Rousseau's is invaded by
Correa and her goons, seems she has bought the bar just to threaten
Cami into handing over the key. It's clearly not for the business
opportunity as there's no-one making the famous gumbo any more. Cami does a very
good job of standing up to Francesca who leaves after giving Cami a
deadline and a threat.
Marcel
and Diego are working over Ollie and Jackson to find out what the
plan is but the wolves aren't talking until Diego threatens to torch Ollie. Jackson offers up everything
Marcel wants to know if they let Ollie go.
Elijah
calls Klaus to tell him their stone couriers are missing, but Klaus
already knows, and he's stalking the leverage he needs to get Davina
to do his bidding, namely Josh, who ends up on the wrong side of
Klaus's fangs! Klaus better be prepared to heal his ass, Josh is
officially my second favourite character in this show now that Father
K is gone. Klaus is rather miffed with the returned witch, especially
since Klaus has done everything he can to keep her on side, but still
she allies herself with Marcel. Davina, stop being a primadonna, do
as Klaus asks and get your gay bestie back alive! Also, so glad
scheming Klaus is back.
So
the code in the box leads to a room in a boarding house, a completely
empty looking room as Cami walks in, there isn't even a cat in the
fridge...just beer. Cami for some reason goes looking in the closet
in the corner and finds Father K's Narnia! There's a hidden storage
room filled with all sorts of mystical and supernatural
paraphernalia, including the syringe the witches used to try and kill
Hayley's baby, guess that got left in the church, and a big file box labelled “FOR CAMI”.
Genevieve
plays the “I was a nurse” card for the second week in a row to
try and get Hayley to chill, I'm finding Gen increasingly
inscrutable, last week I thought I had her pegged that she was not
going to kill the baby, that she was already on Klaus's side then she
went and said she'd do it anyway. This week Klaus is having to
wheedle her on to his team and then she's being all nice to Hayley.
Something is definitely rotten in the French Quarter.
Klaus
and Elijah rescue Jackson from the warehouse despite it being rigged
with a serious amount of plastic explosive. Klaus jokes that they
should leave Jackson there, especially as he is competition to Elijah
for Hayley's affections. At least I think it was a joke. Elijah says
that the bombs are the same as those used out in the bayou, does that
mean it was Marcel and not Correa that orchestrated it? Or is Marcel
working with Correa to try and overthrow the Mikaelson boys? They get
Jackson back to the compound and discuss their next moves. Klaus
trades with Francesca for replacement stones to the ones Marcel has
likely scattered in the Mississippi so that they can make their
rings. Oh yeah, and Francesca knows what they are for. Seems to me
that despite what she says, the human faction would not be cool with
giving Klaus the means to make a werewolf army which can only result
in an all out war as they try to take out the vampires. There has to
be something else going on here.
After
a little heart to heart between Jackson and Hayley, Jack leaves and
Elijah arrives, just in time for her to tell Elijah about Jackson
being her intended werewolf hubby. Elijah is all noble and accepting
until Hayley pushes him for some kind of reaction...and he kisses
her!!!! Oh yes, happy chair dancing over here!
Genevieve
is working on the moonlight rings and requires the blood of a
werewolf who doesn't turn on the full moon. Klaus refuses to let her
use Hayley and offers his blood instead.
Marcel
rallies his troops against Klaus again, no backing down this time
apparently, and everyone seems to be willing to die for him.
Francesca
busts in on witchy time to say that Marcel's army is on the way,
Klaus and Elijah go to meet them, leaving Francesca, Hayley and Gen
alone for some girl talk. So this time it seems Marcel's goons have
brought weapons to the party, still don't think it'll get them
anywhere. Marcel runs off, leading Klaus away and leaving Elijah and
Francesca's goons to take on every vampire in the Quarter. Klaus and
Marcel have a knock-down, drag-out in the streets of the Quarter and
recriminations abound.
Meanwhile,
in Narnia, Cami finds evidence that Miss Correa is not all she has
presented herself to be. She's not human at all...she's one of the last
descendants of the Guerrera werewolf clan that Marcel supposedly wiped
out decades ago. I KNEW IT. I KNEW SHE WAS SHADY!!!
Back
at the Compound Elijah is absolutely spanking the vampires, there are
bodies flying everywhere. One of Francesca's goons tells her she
needs to leave but she says not yet, someone wants a moonlight ring
methinks... Hayley ignores a call from Cami...seriously dumb move.
Gen finishes the spell and hands the stones over to Francesca who
offs her bodyguard and triggers her werewolf curse. Hayley tries to
stop her but Gen witchifies her.
Klaus
is still kicking the crap out of Marcel and then bites him.
Cami
leaves a voicemail for Hayley telling her about Francesca –
oops...too late. Francesca is busy doling out moonlight stones to her
brothers ready for them to go lobo and take back their city.
As
the stones begin to work their magic for the werewolves something
happens to Klaus. The cut Genevieve made on his palm to take his
blood re-opens and he collapses. With each one of the werewolves that activates their curse he becomes weaker.
Elijah
stands among the dead and dying vampires when Francesca distracts him
so her brothers can bite Mr Mikaelson before setting on the remaining
vampires, chasing them through the Quarter.
Klaus
feeds from a janitor in Rousseau's but he still doesn't heal,
Genevieve turns up like the bad penny she is and tells him why, she
bound his strength into the stones. And all because he didn't really
care about her.
OH
CRAP – JOSH! If Klaus is all broken he can't heal everyone's fave
gay vampire. Davina and Mikael have a little natter, Mikael is his
usual smooth self and convinces Davina to agree to raise him from the
dead in exchange for offing Klaus and providing his blood to cure
Josh.
Out
in the bayou Francesca meets Oliver and gives him a moonlight stone.
He yells at her for the deaths that resulted from the bombing, poor
misguided fool actually believed this two-faced wench but she tells
him that they got exactly what they wanted. The Crescent wolves are
ready to follow Jackson and thanks to the deal she made with the
witches, Hayley is no longer in their way.
Marcel
returns to the compound to see his guys all dead or dying from
werewolf bites. Cami turns up, she's been trying to find someone to
tell them about Francesca. Elijah comes storming out demanding to
know where Hayley is, seems someone has misplaced the little wolf, Cami convinces him that Marcel is innocent of
her abduction. Elijah asks where Klaus is and Marcel tells him what
happened, Elijah realises that Genevieve is to blame.
Hayley
is dragged into St Anne's chuch kicking and screaming quite
literally, as a result of Genevieve's spell to knock her out she is
going into labour. Monique tells Hayley exactly what they are going
to do, about the sacrifice of the baby, and the fact that no-one will
stop them. Out in the streets Klaus hears her screams and lets out
the most primal roar and everything goes black.
I
cannot possibly imagine what is going to happen in the finale but I
know I will be watching with a large box of tissues and a serious
doubt that I will have any fingernails left by the time it's done.
Once I've got over the trauma it is bound to induce I'll be back with
the recap!
