Klaus
and Marcel try to persuade Finn and Kol to join them against Esther, Hayley and
Jackson work on getting the wolves, Elijah leaves to protect Rebekah and Hope, Davina
has her own plans, and Rebekah and Cami each discover an unpleasant truth…
Marcel
and Kol *REALLY* do not like each other.
I don’t think I’ve ever seen Marcel seem to take such joy in torturing
someone as he did when he was trying to “persuade” Kol to join him and
Klaus. Honestly, I don’t know if Marcel
was the best person to turn loose on Kol, but he was the only real choice. With Elijah and Hayley both gone elsewhere
and Klaus taking care of Finn, there wasn’t another option. Fortunately for Kol, he let slip his feelings
about Klaus and Marcel which gave Klaus his opening to confess how he tried to
get revenge for Kol’s death at Jeremy Gilbert’s hands but couldn’t and to
reaffirm that they are brothers “always and forever.” Kol was already inclined to betray Esther and
that seemed to tip him decisively into Klaus’ camp.
Unfortunately,
Finn was not nearly as tractable. This personification
of a mama’s boy wouldn’t turn against Esther and even told Klaus the truth
about Freya and Dalia’s curse. His
reward for being a faithful lap dog for his mother? He got himself locked into a coffin which
Klaus assured him had air holes in it.
Is it wrong that I find that an almost amusing punishment?
Davina
and Klaus are going to make for *VERY* uneasy allies. She hates him and he isn’t too terribly fond
of her. Unfortunately, they need each
other in order to take down Esther. And
with Kol, Marcel, and Cami as buffers between the two of them, I think the
fireworks will remain at a minimum.
Davina’s magical powers are nothing to sneeze at, look at how easily she
took down both Marcel and Klaus. I am
honestly not sure if she can take down Esther, but if she manages to work with
Klaus, there is a definite chance.
Now
that Hayley and Jackson have peeled the wolves away from Esther, that is one
less group to stand in Klaus’ way. I can’t
believe that the wolves are still trying to insist that they rule the
city. Their bites don’t do anything to
Klaus and he has shown that he can take them apart with astonishing speed and
ferocity. And by joining their two
bloodlines, Hayley and Jackson will help empower the wolves without their
needing to depend on witches.
Rebekah
had an unpleasant surprise when she realized that Esther had found her and was
watching her. Or was it actually
Dalia? If Dalia is really that much more
powerful than Esther and she has been promised the firstborn of every
generation, it is entirely possible that she is looking for Rebekah and
Hope. Then there was Rebekah’s discovery
that Elijah had slaughtered all of those people in the restaurant. That was not pleasant. We know Elijah is no saint, but that
slaughter and his loss of control around Finn shows that he is clearly damaged
from his time spent with Esther.
And
poor Cami discovered that she has been prepared to serve as a vessel for
Rebekah’s consciousness. Yeah, that is
exactly what I would want to learn from someone I might have had feeling for at
one point.
There
is no Originals next week, so I’ll
see y’all in two weeks!
