Favorite relationship: The one that has always interested me the most is the one between Klaus and Rebekah. As if seeing the two at odds wasn’t painful enough, the flashbacks of their younger selves broke my heart in two. I've re-watched the storm flashback several times now, and tears spring to my eyes every time. Their relationship has never been easy. As we could see when they were still on “The Vampire Diaries”. They’ve both done things to hurt each other: Klaus killing the men Rebekah had feelings for, Rebekah luring Mikael into town. This week’s episode was all about vocalizing all of the unspoken feelings between the two. Rebekah reluctantly agrees that she may have wanted him dead. Klaus hears from Elijah how Rebekah tried to protect them from their father, almost killing him once. Once Klaus stabs her, missing her heart on purpose, the fight seems to die down. They realize their relationship is too broken, they are too broken to be fixed. I believe this also might be the last ‘Always and forever’ we’ll hear on this show.
Best goodbye: I’m tempted to go with the one between Elijah and Rebekah. I’m going to miss their dynamic and I wish we could have seen more of it. But I know someday they’ll see each other again, they live forever after all, and it’s a small world. However the same can’t be said for Hayley. She’ll probably never see her friend again. I hate how their relationship kind of ended up getting ignored in the second half of the season. With both of them being on the verge of tears, by the time Rebekah asked Hayley to tell her daughter stories about her, I was already sobbing.
Klaus: “How do you plead?” Rebekah: “I plead you to shut up and listen.”
Rebekah: “What has happened to you. I remember the sweet boy who made me smile and gave me gifts. Who loved art and music. I wanted to be just like you. How could you have fallen so far.
Rebekah: “I was the one who brought him to New Orleans because of your wickedness. I wanted love and happiness, and you denied me the freedom to have either. Yes, I hated and I was afraid of our father, but he was a lesser evil than you, My bastard brother who loomed over me, threatening me as you are now. I wanted rid of you, and given the choice, I'd do it again.”
Rebekah: “He ruined me, too. That's what you forget. Centuries later, each of us is broken-- You with your anger and paranoia, me with my fear of abandonment and poor Elijah he dedicates himself to everyone but himself. We are the strongest creatures in the world, and yet we are damaged beyond repair. We live without hope, but we will never die. We are the definition of "Cursed" Always and forever.”
So I don’t know what will happen to the show with Rebekah gone. Only 2 Originals left, not exactly what I was expecting from a show called “The Originals”. Could you imagine what this show would have been like with all 5 siblings still alive and on screen, a girl can dream right? What did you think of this week’s episode? Sound off in the comments.
