It’s Thanksgiving! Cami is spending it kidnapped, though not for long, and Jackson is spending it alone waiting Hayley to get back from the main dinner at the Mikaelson compound. Lucien, Tristan, and Aurora are invited over to blow up their secret alliance and get answers about Rebekah. Hayley and Freya torture Aurora for answers, but she is also tortured in a different way when she hears mention of Cami. Klaus questions Tristan, who tries to convince Klaus to follow his strategy to avoid the prophecy. Elijah questions Lucien, who realizes his current alliance may not be serving him. One thing becomes clear this week, the prophecy is very much moving along…

Many mistakes are made this week, some more beautiful than others. We check in with Rebekah, who is in Morocco and continuing to fail in her quest to bring Kol back to life, while still finding time to potentially fulfill 1/3 of the prophecy. Klaus spends the day with Aurora and pretty clearly is not lead by logic. Hayley is tailed by the scariest possible villain (a consultant), but is able to capture and question him with Marcel’s help. Elsewhere, Cami and Will Kinney are kidnapped by Lucien and subjected to brunch, a scavenger hunt, and psychological compulsion. Plus, a new weapon is revealed! Finally, we learn why Tristan, Lucien, and Aurora want revenge on the Mikaelsons - it all goes back to a goofy compulsion.

With her arrival to New Orleans, Aurora immediately reaches out to Klaus so they can be in love again. We learn about their love story and breakup, which comes with a special surprise from behind the red door. Davina struggles with her role as regent during a new witch holiday, but gets at least one good gift to share with Hayley, who helps her with the continuing struggles of leadership. Cami gets mixed up in the serial killer investigation, putting some dangerous tools in the hands of NOLA PD. Finally, Marcel spies on Tristan to see who he might be teamed up with, and stumbles into some surprising information…

The Strix decide to recruit Marcel with a good old fashioned masquerade ball (ok Dangerous Liaisons!) and a good old fashioned riddle (ok…). Everybody comes out for the ball - Hayley in a slay gown, Freya in a pink wig, Klaus in a drunken performance, and so on. Alexis is kidnapped, and gets to basically hang out until  Aurora (newly in NOLA) kills her. It’s sort of a Halloween episode, but only vaguely. We have fun!

With Lucien making all manner of noise in New Orleans, naturally he gets arrested for the killings. Detective Will Kinney gets kicked out of the room quickly so Cami and Vincent can take over the interrogation. Lucien shares his story, particularly when he, happily, became the first non-original vampire. He also brings a new theory to the case, that he is being framed by none other than Tristan. it is time to meet Tristan in New Orleans, and yes he is also weird. He makes his case for an alliance with Elijah, which mirrors much of Lucien’s logic. We also meet a new crazy face card, Aya, who gives us hope in Elijah’s sire line after seeing Tristan. She brings Marcel to a secret vampire fraternity and kind of their CIA, and we see that Elijah was certainly a muse for many. Meanwhile Jackson helps Hayley deal with her anger and guilt, but they still can’t deal with their lack of sexual chemistry. Klaus apologizes as much as he can to Elijah in an effort to find forgiveness and strengthen themselves in the face of the prophecy. Finally, Aurora makes it clear she is done with the monastery and ready to travel to, where else, to New Orleans!

This week, we learn the official prophecy that is coming for the Mikaelsons: three will fall; one by friend, one by foe, and one by family. And oh boy, is New Orleans crawling with friends, foes, and family members! Hayley is missing on the full moon after poachers are sent to the bayou, so Elijah and Jackson work to find her. Davina finds her first though, and dangles the crescent curse solution over Hayley to get her to massacre 11 witches. Jackson and Hayley move across the street from the compound, despite the still active feud between Klaus and Hayley. Meanwhile, Cami profiles the French Quarter killer and … it’s looking like Lucien. And Lucien has a suspicious week, including having his own werewolf bite cure handy? We also confirm Tristan and Aurora are alive in the modern day, with a weird relationship and their sights set on New Orleans.

It’s a new season baby and man did we have a lot to say about this premiere! Elijah is still mad at Klaus, Hayley is a wolf, Marcel opened a boxing gym, Davina is struggling to lead, and Freya is just happy to be included! Cami finds herself in a new role when Vincent brings her to a crime scene to profile (Stephanie cheered!), and they finally let her dress cute (we all cheered!). Elijah heads to the bayou to meet Hayley, but finds some visitors with guns as well as a very concerning sight of wolves. An old friend named Lucien comes to see Klaus and his vibe is simultaneously perplexing and captivating. We get insight into the early history of the Originals, and Lucien seems to have a lot of going on in the present day, including a friend with a prophecy, as he tries to ally with Klaus. Finally, we go to a monastery, which seems random right?

It’s time for a jam-packed season finale! We start out with some classic linking-daggering shenanigans which sets the stage for an urgent plan. The mischief continues with some ashes switcher hijinks, courtesy of Elijah and Rebekah, to resurrect a familiar (and unpopular) face. But that character help’s guarantee another’s downfall! In the hullabaloo, a major weapon is “destroyed”, ashes pile up, and the Mikaelson siblings are at odds. Finally, we reflect on season 2 and start discussing what might be coming up in season 3…
