There’s revenge galore, a family reunited, passion consummated, wishes granted, and motivations revealed…
Well, Rebekah got the one thing that she’s wanted for a long time. Only problem? Her brother Kol granted her wish as revenge. Rebekah has always wanted to live a normal human life. Well, now she has the chance to do so except for the fact that she is trapped in a witch’s body in a house that cannot be escaped from. Yeah, talk about being careful what you wish for. That, my friends, is what you call a double-edged sword. She betrayed Kol’s plot to make a dagger that could hurt Klaus 100 years ago, so Kol betrayed her by trapping her in the house. Lovely family here…
It was interesting to finally see how Kol views his place in the Mikaelson family. Finn is a mama’s boy who hates everything that he and his siblings are; his father is out to kill them all; Elijah, Klaus, and Rebekah are a singular unit; and his mother is a twisted witch. Given all that, it is not hard to see why he came out all twisted. He has been mostly cut out of his own family and Klaus has systematically done what he can to keep his siblings under his thumb. Kol seems to have honestly loved being a witch and his mother took that way from him. So he is on his own in the world. To make it even worse, Klaus, Elijah, and Rebekah have taken Marcel into their circle while excluding him. Yeah, there is definitely some bitterness there.
Klaus’ revenge of Esther was absolutely delicious and completely fitting. He used Davina to block Rebekah’s being moved into Cami and then forced his mother into a position that is beyond untenable. Since he killed her after she had unwittingly ingested Rebekah’s blood, she is in transition. So she either becomes that which she despises above all else or she dies. And with no Other Side, she will be gone forever. That revenge was absolutely perfect and a wonderful thing of absolute beauty. While you may hate Klaus for what he does, he does revenge like no one’s business.
Unfortunately, Esther managed to team up with Mikael before she died and he freed Finn. Finn revealed to Cami tonight that he sees his siblings as irredeemable, which makes him more dangerous than Esther. Finn will not be content with merely moving his siblings into new bodies; he will want to destroy them, particularly after what they did to Esther. Putting him together with Mikael is going to be dangerous. Both of them are exceedingly unbalanced and powerful. Fortunately, Klaus does have a protector in the form of Davina because he has sired her friends. And I suspect that she can drag Kol along with her. Between the two of them, I suspect that they can handle Finn. Mikael may be a different story. And if Dalia and/or Freya come back, hands will be full.
Hayley and Elijah have consummated their passion for each other right after he told her to marry Jackson in order to help her people and bring peace to New Orleans. Can’t say I’m surprised at either development. Things have been building to a head between those two for a while now and Elijah is noble enough to urge Hayley to do what is best for her people even if it hurts him. As for that scene…YOWZA!
We’ll be back with new episodes on January 19th, so I’ll see you then!
