Rebekah is still fuming about Klaus biting Elijah, who is still suffering from his hybrid bite with Hayley watching over him. Rebekah is scared to tell Klaus what she thinks in case he bites her too but he makes it known that he’d much prefer to dagger if he were to punish her. A woman is watching the cabin that Hayley is in with a hint of a familiar birth mark on her shoulder.
Marcel introduces Tyler to his vampires. Rebekah walks in amidst Tyler catching everybody up on his past as a hybrid and describing the sire bond to Klaus. Fearless Rebekah tells them that she’s on her side, and then she snaps Tyler’s neck and flops down in his chair like a Queen. She commands them to stop talking about harming the baby as Klaus is their target.
While writing Klaus’ life story, Cami psychoanalyses Klaus as a self-destructive individual who keeps repeating the same mistakes and won’t trust anybody. Any loyal viewer will know that she’s right but also that he has good reason not to trust anybody. Much of it may be his own doing, but it probably stems from a father who wanted him dead most of his life.

Rebekah hides Tyler away until Klaus can be dealt with. Rebekah and Marcel discuss where they are to keep Klaus: buried away in his wall dungeons. Rebekah wants the baby to be born still and plans to protect it but does not want it growing up with a father who will manipulate it into being a machination of war. Klaus goes to a recently uncompelled and disloyal Josh with a special job for him: find and get the dagger from Marcel. Josh reports to Marcel immediately and an angry Rebekah gets her confirmation that she is doing the right thing by trying to dispose of her selfish brother. Josh, under Marcel’s orders, tells Klaus that the dagger is on Marcel’s person and he is surrounded by vampire bodyguards. Klaus promises Josh a permanent daylight ring for his loyalty and also threatens him with a fate worse than death should he betray him.
Elijah’s hybrid / werewolf bite has caused him to suffer from a fever. He dreams of a woman named Celeste who was a love of his in the past, and also a witch. When Hayley touches him, she falls witness to the dreams.
Klaus walks into a trap where Marcel and Rebekah are waiting for him with a large number of vampires ready to attack. Klaus throws a coin on the floor and tells them all that whoever picks up the coin can live but everyone is loyal to Marcel and so no one moves a muscle. A few vampires run at Klaus but he cuts through them pretty quickly and without even breaking a sweat. More vampires join in the fight against him by throwing chains around his limbs. Rebekah drops the dagger on the floor when she realises that she can’t dagger him. He gets a second wind and attacks in a frenzy, killing everyone who gets in his path. Rebekah begs Marcel to pick up the coin and end the madness. Marcel retrieves the coin and surrenders all of his power to Klaus.

In another feverish dream, Elijah flashes back to Klaus killing many men through duelling. To prevent their father from finding them, Klaus has blamed all the deaths on the witches. Despite knowing how Elijah cares for Celeste, he feels no remorse at them being rounded up and slaughtered. Elijah wakes up and pins Hayley to the wall. While in the process of crushing her oesophagus, the blonde woman from before stakes him in the back. She reveals her name is Hayley and she was following them because Hayley had brought an Original to the area so the majority of her fellow wolves fled. She explains that Marcel put a curse on them where they are wolves all month except on the full moon, in which time they could become human. Eve tried to get rid of her birthmark and warns Hayley to keep hers covered up.
Klaus stands over his new kingdom while Marcel lectures him on how he has no respect or loyalty from the vampires so he won’t get far as the ‘King’. The corpses of all the vampires are laid out in front of him and cremated.
Klaus accuses Elijah of stealing away Hayley by being kind to her and says that his child will end up calling Elijah ‘father’. Rebekah explains that they never leave him behind, he pushes them away. Klaus tells them that he’s really tried for them recently but they both turned against him regardless. He gives Elijah the dagger back and leaves. Elijah and Rebekah both look guilty when they realise what Klaus has done for them. Klaus forces Hayley into the car.
Earlier, Klaus had asked Cami about a doodle she had been drawing. She had told him it was a tattoo design. Now she tells the Pastor, her uncle, that she had been writing a message to herself subconsciously. She found a picture with Klaus and Marcel from 1919 and knows who they are, despite her forgetting everything about vampires and witches when she leaves Klaus’ presence.

It felt rather soon for Marcel to give his throne up to Klaus but I suppose the series was extended to twenty-two episodes and it couldn’t go on forever. A season never has the one plot point for the whole series but this does leave me wondering where the show will go from here and what Marcel’s role will. Perhaps he and Klaus will swap roles and he will now try to take back his throne and keep his plan on getting rid of Klaus once and for all.
Tyler seemed to disappear pretty quickly. I don’t know if he will be returning for the next episode of if he will be gone for a while. Maybe Klaus will find him but that won’t end well. He could die and Bonnie, on The Vampire Diaries, would know when he passed through her to go to the other side, and would tell Caroline. Countless things could happen from here but there’s no real way of knowing what it could be. I don’t know if I want him to die or not. I loved him with Caroline to start with but whenever he has to leave the series for whatever reason, his character becomes an absolute douchebag towards her. Saying that though, if Tyler died, Caroline would find out and an excuse would be created for her to then crossover to the The Originals and see Klaus once again.
Hayley and Elijah are clearly bonding, a fact that Klaus has not missed out on and seems to be rather jealous of. He still loves Caroline so I imagine he’s more jealous about the baby than Hayley herself but that would become an odd family tree. The baby’s mother would be in a relationship with the father’s brother, or the baby’s uncle. Still, I want Elijah to be happy, especially after Katherine played with his mind again and we now all know that he can’t be with her due to the doppelgangers destiny and her currently uncertain future.

Hayley’s family finally seem to be making an appearance! It’s about time since it was hinted at in the parent series and was made out to be important. Hayley will hopefully be getting a more intriguing storyline than just being pregnant, soon. This new curse is interesting where they can only be human on a full moon but I do feel bad for the werewolves; they’re always being cursed! I wonder if Hayley could be affected by the curse and this could harm the baby in some way or prevent its birth.
This show is getting interesting now despite a weak opening. I didn’t feel like this week’s episode was anything special and I really can’t see where they’re planning on going from here but that only makes it all the more exciting for next Tuesday and the next episode!
