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…

With one more week to the finale, it appears Klaus has betrayed his family and fully sided with Dahlia. Meanwhile, Davina and Vincent work on getting the new Regent initiated. Freya, Elijah, and Rebekah are ready to put their plan into action, which works for a moment and only a moment. The wolves continue to run from Dahlia through the storm in the bayou, and Hayley and Jackson, as usual, struggle to be good Alphas. Mary finds away to warn the pack when magic is afoot, but the Crescents find themselves in an all too familiar position, and I’m not talking about hanging out in a junkyard! At the compound, people do eventually decide to check if the dagger did indeed keep Klaus down, and face the consequences when it doesn’t. Despite everyone trying to stop him,Klaus gets his revenge on many people: he pulls the Andi Star on Elijah, puts Rebekah and Marcel in a difficult situation that they may have overreacted to, and absolutely demolishes Hayley and Jackson. But Cami shares a plan that (of course) Klaus had ready, and sets us up for the finale!

Dahlia takes advantage of Klaus’s daggering to welcome him into her mind to show him her past with Esther and Freya, and offer a pretty enticing deal for him and Hope. In the bayou, the wolves have a funeral for Aiden, which encourages Hayley and Jackson to make the stupid decision to continue trying to run away with Hope. Vincent helps the Mikaelsons with multiple spells of varying importance, even as he attempts to leave the world of magic for good. Finally, the dagger gets taken out of Klaus at most 12 hours after it was put in.

As everyone struggles to decide how to deal with Dahlia’s looming deadline, Klaus retreats because he knows the only person he can trust is himself. Most people take this as a sign of Klaus unraveling, getting increasingly nervous about if he will protect Hope (even though that’s his ONE goal but ok). Hayley stays with Hope in the St James Infirmary, but when Dahlia stops by and shows the magic is not solid, we return to Jackson and Hayley’s dumb plan from last week, but at least it’s a little smarter this time. Davina, Rebekah, and even Marcel return to the idea that Klaus needs to be put down, and actually have to tool to do it. Meanwhile Josh and Aiden are in love! Oh wait why are we hearing that creepy music and the talk of leaving town, uh oh. Finally we end with a big decision that we make it quite clear we do NOT agree with!

Dahlia has finally arrived in New Orleans, and she makes her presence known by possessing multiple civilians and giving a taste of her power in a fight at St Anne’s. Dahlia’s arrival prompts Elijah to have Josephine create a safe house at St James Infirmary for Hayley and Hope. Meanwhile, it encourages Jackson to come up with a stupid plan, which he loops Hayley into. Luckily, double agent Aiden was able to sabotage it quite easily. Meanwhile, Klaus teams up with his former opps Mikael and Davina to hijack Freya’s tools for a weapon to kill Dahlia (which Dahlia promptly destroys). But Klaus comes up with a smart backup plan which also accomplishes one of his longtime goals….

After fighting through last week, Eva Sinclair successfully gets a strong hold over Rebekah, and gets back to her passion in life, killing kids. Hope is targeted, but protected, and everyone else gets to work got save Rebekah, and eventually Davina. Elijah tests his new alliance with Josephine to get rid of Eva, but she is not following for “rebellious girl has passion” twice. Marcel is able to trap Eva with the anti-magic shackles, and enlists Vincent to get information from her. It looks like Vincent may not be as over Eva as it seems though, and he goes off script. Klaus uses the other pair of magic shackles on Freya, to bring her to get a spell from the only person Freya hates as much as Dahlia - Esther! Of course Esther sees the pain in Freya’s eyes and decides that means she is evil but it can’t possibly be Esther’s fault. Klaus makes progress trying to trust Freya, but their feud grows despite kinda being twins. Finally, we get one of the gaggiest deaths yet and yes, we fail the don’t say mother challenge again!

It’s time for Mikaelson family brunch, where Freya’s true intentions are put into question. She tells her life story, which is so tragic and sympathetic it would be suspicious if it wasn’t 100% true. The wolves spend some time in the bayou, where Aiden begins to question Jackson’s leadership. Rebeva blacks out multiple times while Eva attempts to break out. Finally, Marcel brings in Cami to talk to Vincent, and we learn that he has a history with Eva.
