The latest episode of ‘The Originals’ had the Mikealson’s heading back to NOLA to save their dear brother Nik (Niklaus/Klaus) from Marcel. The legendary family headed back to their old stomping grounds after devouring an entire bus of prisoners, including the guards.

As they ventured back Marcel got word of the family being resurrected and we learned that venom from the 7 original wolf packs can cure Marcel’s bite. However, by the time Marcel found out the Mikealson’s were on their way it was already too late. The family was already in The French Quarter and paying Joshua, Marcel’s right hand man, a visit. Meanwhile, Rebekah paid her former lover, Marcel, a visit.

Marcel quickly caught on to the fact that she was being used to distract him from Klaus’s rescue mission. Rebekah just as quickly gave up the jig and flat out asked Marcel to let her brother go. He obviously refused to do so and she was forced to take action via a hex stake. Rebekah threatened Marcel with the dark artifact and was shot in the chest with arrows by Sofya, Marcel’s informant and potential love interest. It doesn’t look like these two will be rekindling their relationship anytime soon.

Locked away at the Mikealson estate Klaus was also paid a visit by Cami. Unfortunately for Cami fans she is only a figment of his imagination/subconscious and not back on the show permanently. She informed Klaus that his family was back to rescue him and that he needed to find a way out of his imprisonment before they get killed.

Klaus doesn’t want to escape because he is afraid that if he is involved in his daughter Hope’s life, she will turn into the monster that he has become. Cami reassures Klaus that Hope needs him and that he needs to face his fears, pull that knife out of his chest and escape. Shortly after Elijah, Hayley and Freya arrive and begin to work together to free Klaus. Freya channeled Hayley in order to break the boundary spell while Elijah and Marcel faced off.

Back at the bar where Kol was babysitting Josh, the two have a heart-to-heart about loss. Josh talks about losing Aiden in hopes that he can ease Kol’s pain about losing Davina. He told Kol that it does get better eventually. That bonding moment was cut short when Josh received a text from Marcel with the word Tuetoburg. It was a coded message for Josh to send out a warning/summoning message to Marcel’s other minions. Kol realized something was off, snapped Josh’s neck (thank god he is a vamp) and headed off to find Rebekah. He found Rebekah in the cemetery with arrows in her chest. Kol removed them and then the two battled with Marcel’s vampire groupies.

At the Mikealson estate Klaus finally mustered up the courage to pull the knife out of his chest and escape. He then used said knife and stabbed Marcel with it to allow everyone to escape. Klaus, Elijah, Freya and Hayley all reach the escape point where Kol and Rebekah are waiting for them. Unfortunately Marcel was right behind them. Klaus offered peace in exchange for their free passage and promised to never return to New Orleans. Marcel offers them mercy and lets them go, telling them that if they ever return they will be killed.

The family then returned to the home where Hayley and Hope have been living for the past five years and Klaus finally got to see his daughter. He watched her sleep.

The season 4 premiere of ‘The Originals’ jumped ahead in time. This season will be taking place 5 years after the fall of the Mikealson’s. After the original family fell from power Marcel took back his city and has resumed his title as King of New Orleans.

Marcel and his vampires co-exist with Vincent and his witch coven. There is peace among the quarter until a group of out of town vampires lead by Alistair Duquesne. Alistair wants to personally see Klaus is suffering and wants to make sure the rest of his family is actually dead.

Luckily for the Mikealson’s they still have a living ally in Hayley. Hayley is in the process of waking up the Mikealson’s in hopes of reuniting the family for her daughter Hope. She only needs one more ingredient; wolf venom from the 7^th original wolf pack. Jack’s mom Mary brings news that there is only one member left of that pack. Hayley takes off with the Mikealson’s bodies in a truck in order to find this last remaining wolf. Mary stays behind to watch Hope.

Hayley finds this lone wolf in Austin, Texas. Her name is Keelin and Hayley wasn’t the only one hunting her. A pack of vampires also wanted to get their hands on the wolf in order to prevent Hayley from raising the dead. Hayley used Keelin’s venom along with the venom of the other 6 wolf packs to wake Freya. Freya then began working on waking up Elijah, Kol and Rebekah while Hayley fought of the vampire pack.

The only member of the Mikealson family that is awake is Klaus. After Alistair challenges Marcel, Marcel was forced to reach out to Klaus for help in regaining control of the quarter. Marcel then let’s Klaus know that he knows his siblings lives are tethered to his. He also informs Klaus about Alistair’s threat to kill Klaus’s daughter Hope. This forced Klaus to team up with Marcel.

Alistair gets his wish and sees Klaus chained up and beaten down. Marcel then gifts Alistair with a sword that is dipped in Marcel’s deadly venom; a venom that would slowly kill Klaus. He then gives Alistair permission to kill the eldest Mikealson. Alistair being the show boat that he is leans in and tells Klaus that he will stop at nothing to kill Klaus’s daughter. Klaus then used that moment to bite Alistair and stabs the rest of his crew with the sword.

Marcel then regains control of the original vampire and is able to regain control of the vampires in the French quarter. He informs his followers that he keeps Klaus around to have a cure for werewolf bites. Marcel is able to show his strength by teaming up with Klaus.

Elijah, Kol and Rebekah are finally awaken by Freya. Elijah reunites with Hayley and they kiss. Hayley and the rest of the Mikealson’s pack up and head to New Orleans to go rescue Klaus.

Hope on the other hand is in more danger than anyone knows. She is drawing the same circle symbols that are showing up all over the French quarter. Is she the one creating the symbols or is someone coming for her? What is she capable of? What sort of powers does she have?

NEXT WEEK

The Mikealson’s come for Klaus
