Favorite scene: Rebekah finally gets to have some fun, however brief it may be. Oliver may have stabbed her in the back later in the episode, but seeing Rebekah, as Oliver put it, dance her ass off warmed my heart. I’m guessing the next episode won’t be as pleasant for her.
Best betrayal: Poor Elijah, he really does have a type and that type is manipulative. I can’t judge Tatia, but Katherine, Celeste and even Hayley back when she was on ‘The Vampire Diaries’ definitely fit the profile. My heart broke for him as Celeste screwed him over in the worst way possible, by going after the people he loves. As we saw at the end of the episode, whatever feelings Elijah had left for Celeste, they’ve been replaced by hatred. Great job Celeste, you pissed off the nice one.
Best mention: If you’ve read my previous reviews, you probably know that I’ve had a problem with the lack of Josh. But in this episode he finally got a mention. Apparently he’s been demoted to Hayley’s messenger. I would’ve liked it better had he actually been in the episode though, but for now I’ll settle for this. I know that with Davina still gone, there’s wouldn’t be much use for him but I’d like to see him form a bond with someone else, Hayley or Rebekah perhaps. I think it would increase his survival chances.
Most awkward moment: Hayley’s meeting with Jackson was cute, but also kind of awkward. Since Hayley didn’t grow up in the pack, an arranged marriage sounds as weird to her as it would to us. Imagine how you’d react if some guy you just met told you, you were supposed to get married to unite two families. I don’t know about you guys but I’d laugh in his face.
Dumbest move: You think Klaus would’ve learned by now, but no, he still thinks violence is the best way to solve things. Well that sure backfired. Now I’m guessing the events at the end of this episode and the next one won’t make him calmer. This is war.
Most ungrateful brat: Ah Monique. Sophie spent months trying to resurrect her and this is the thanks she gets. Monique (almost) kills her. I’d get it if she was mad at Davina or Marcel, but Sophie risked her own life to bring her back. And if she’s pissed that Sophie had something to do with stopping the Harvest, she needs to be reminded that after the first girl’s throat was slit, she wasn’t that excited to continue either. I hope they either give her some redeeming qualities or just kill her again because I’m not really a fan of this Monique.
Elijah: “I’m going to kill them all.”
I know this review was a little late, but I had some personal problems (that have now been solved). I figured posting it right before the new episode would be a nice recap so that everyone's up to speed again. So check in next week for a new review (I mean it this time) and share your opinions of 'Crescent City' in the comments.
