With Elijah still in captivity, Klaus decides to hunt him down and finds himself looking for a mysterious orchid with Ansel, who tries to bond and make up for 1,000 years of not being a father. Hayley wants to go after Esther, but instead acts like a real Mikaelson and instead goes after what Esther loves. She recruits Marcel, Cami, and Aiden to pull one over on Finncent, and Cami’s all-time manipulation performance continues. Meanwhile, Davina and Koleb work on a spell in a long sealed steampunk mausoleum, Kol reveals his long-held passion for magic, and we weigh the difficult decision of whether or not to ship. Elijah finally wakes up, worried about lingering nightmares, but overall thrilled that other people got some work done while he was out. Finally, we do get a sibling reunion, but not the one Esther pictured.

This episode starts out with a big gag - the reveal of the name Freya, and the fact that she is indeed a Mikaelson! Elijah’s kidnapping forces Klaus to have a long chat with Esther, where she reveals information about Klaus’s father, but neglects to mention the existence or significance of Dahlia. Speaking of Klaus’s father, he turns up in the bayou with the long-missing Jackson, who was NOT kidnapped. Ansel and Hayley help to reunite Oliver with Jackson, so they can catch up one final time. Meanwhile in the Quarter, Cami is suspicious of Finncent and plays him like a fiddle, with an assist from Marcel and Gia.

Davina wakes up from being knocked out to find that things have gone crazy and she has lost nearly all her leverage. She discovers Kaleb’s true identity but like a true sister cannot resist the draw of a Mikaelson brother. Cami may have stopped Klaus from killing his dad last week, but I think were can all, including her by the end of this week, agree that was a mistake. Michael kidnaps her, wastes time with useless theatrics, loses both weapons, and gets bullied by everyone in spite of their original alliances. Meanwhile, Esther holds onto Elijah and tortures him with a memory and a metaphor that lives in his head, two things that do not get fixed by jumping bodies. But she thinks this plan is flawless, so maybe we are crazy?

Davina, with her alliance to Mikael now exposed, heads to a cabin in the woods, where she twists her ankle, flirts with Koleb, gets her bracelet deactivated, and loses possession of the white oak stake, all in about 12 hours. Klaus finally reunites with Cami to hunt down Davina, and of course get some more free therapy as he ponders killing his father (or at the very least stabbing him with Papa Tunde’s bone knife). Meanwhile in the Quarter, we meet a new werewolf, Aiden, who terrorizes Marcel’s new vampire community then immediately asks for their help saving his brother from Finncent’s “use teenagers as pawns” plan. Plus, Josh gets on the dating apps and meets a new love interest! Finally, Lenesther kidnaps Elijah, probably because she’s tired of waiting for her kids to want new bodies on their own.

The Mikaelson family gets closer to a reunion, better or worse! Esther has made her identity clear so time to reveal her plan, which if we know Esther is logically flawed and selfish. tradeoff is Elijah must mentor new vampire Gia, who he mostly just sends on an errand he does not want to do. Oliver takes time to help as a spy, and Hayley uses that as an excuse to beat his ass like she should. Finn reveals his identity and loses his cool, cementing his place as mama’s boy and worst Mikaelson sibling. Esther invites herself over for dinner, shows up late, gets clocked for one of her many parenting disgressions, and brings out a ridiculous amount of birds, all while sharing a plan that is indeed logically flawed and selfish.

With the introduction of Koleb, we take a trip down memory lane and learn more about Kol and his history with Klaus and Elijah. In flashbacks, we see Elijah oh so elegantly handle his relationship with a young and impressionable Marcel (I’m being facetious, of course he white fangs him). Meanwhile in the present, Marcel begins building his new vampire community, starting with turning Gia and recruiting Elijah. In their socialization, Elijah learns Davina has the stake, and comes face to face with Mikael. Elsewhere, Klaus brings Hayley to the bayou and performs some classic manipulation on the wolves there, then confronts Cassie and pretty quickly figures out her whole deal.

It’s a new season baby! Hayley is a hybrid facing a new type of heightened emotion: post partum depression!  Klaus and Elijah have been patiently biding their time since the season 1 finale as the Guerreras have taken over the city, but after months of recon, teaming up with Marcel, and quick trip to city hall, they are ready to attack. Francesca reads this silence as scheming, getting more scared by the moment. But despite her money and security she finds herself unprepared for these enemies. In a battle, we get an Elijah serve, a Francesca embarrassment, some Hayley revenge, and Klaus finally gets back to his painting. One the love side - Haylijah face yet another obstacle, making it seem increasingly unlikely we will se another kiss anytime soon. But at least Davina has met a handsome stranger named Kaleb, and Cami dumps Marcel to meet her new advisor. Marcel works on rebuilding his vampire army, while Josh struggles to understand what exactly the army is fighting for. Finally, Cassie, the final harvest girl, reveals what we expected last week and reveals her surprising teammates.

It’s the season finale and boy does it feel like it! The baby is born, taken to the sacrifice, saved, kidnapped, fake killed, sent away, and named, all in her first day on Earth! Hayley has a similarly busy day, she gives birth, dies, and comes back as a hybrid! Death is a popular activity of the day, trimming many of our tertiary characters. But there is rebirth too! Klaus and Marcel makeup and rebuild their relationship, and two true haters return to the land of the living. Plus, we reflect on season 1 and predict season 2!

Do our listeners care about football? Well I guess we will find out! We decided to dive in this season and be football fans, and we share the teams we picked and all of our opinions. The NFL is fun even if there aren't any vampires involved! (ok well the jury is still out on Saquon)

In the lead up to our first Originals season finale, we start picking up the drama and get our first true gaggy twist! Klaus and Elijah work with the Crescent wolves to make the moonlight rings, until Marcel and his crew blow up their plans. Thankfully, Genevieve along with Francesca and her creepy brothers she pulled out of nowhere are there to help, phew! Marcel decides it’s time to attack, but swears not back down this time. As plans across the quarter fall apart, we start a werewolf bite counter, Cami digs through family secrets, Davina weighs Mikael’s offer, Francesca grabs onto power, and it is the finale, so Hayley goes into labor! Where do the Mikaelsons go from here, and how will baby Mikaelson fare, that is, if she survives the season?
