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!
