Favorite scene: I loved the opening scene, with Klaus’ quote. It gives us a nice overview of what’s been going on in the French Quarter for the past month. The werewolves break the curse that was put on them by Celeste. The witches, vampires and humans are at odds. Klaus and Genevieve have started a ‘relationship’. Father Kieran is taking all sorts of medication to fight the effects of his curse. Marcel is hiding on the outskirts of town. The only one we don’t see is Elijah, at least not until Klaus’ monologue is over. When we pick up in the current timeline, we see Elijah (very gracefully) kick Genevieve out.
Best couple: I can’t help but like Klaus and Genevieve together. I’m fully aware that this relationship won’t end well but they’re having fun for the time being. Neither is trying to make the other a better person, which is something we don’t see very often on this show (or on ‘The Vampire Diaries). However, I have a feeling this is going to end in a very explosive way. And I can’t wait.
Best HBIC moment: Hayley is standing up for her pack. It was kind of a bitch move on Elijah’s part to invite every species expect for the werewolves. To say that it would’ve made things harder is ridiculous. The meeting was already insane, did you really think adding the werewolves would’ve made that much of a difference? Anyway, I’m glad Hayley is taking charge. She’s done being pushed around by everyone. She even managed to stop a fight between the vampires and the werewolves. I can’t wait to see her in full protective-mommy-mode.
Best return: Josh! You all know how I’ve been nagging since the winter break for his return, and this week I finally got my wish. I have missed his friendship with Davina so much. Even though he’s not really in a position to help her, he still manages to just by talking to her and giving her some confidence.
Biggest ‘what are you doing?’ moment: Klaus wants to free the werewolves from their curse. He has to have an agenda here. No way he’s doing this out of the kindness of his heart. The question is: what is he up to? Whatever it is, it can’t be good.
Honorable mention: I wanted to mention Klaus’ painting. The one he was working on all the way through the episode I presume. Yes, he may be a killer, but damn he’s talented. I feel like the painting has some significant meaning to what’s going on in the show. It’s either what happened in the past when Mikael burned the place down, or it’s a sign of what’s to come. Either way I’d totally hang that in my living room.
Klaus: “They say the passage of time will heal all wounds, but the greater the loss, the deeper the cut. And the more difficult the process to become whole again. The pain may fade but scars serve as a reminder of our suffering, and make the bearer all the more resolved, never to be wounded again. So as time moves along, we get lost in distractions, act out in frustration. React with aggression. Give in to anger. All the while we plot and plan as we wait to grow stronger. Then before we even realize that so much time has passed, we are healed, ready to begin anew.”
Cami: “I saw the light from the courtyard and took a chance that … you weren’t with a half-naked psycho witch. Seems I gambled and lost.” Genevieve: “Ten minutes ago I was fully naked.” Cami: “Oh, then you’ve served your purpose. Don’t let me hold you up.”
So am I the only one who feels like something was off this week. Maybe it’s because Rebekah’s gone, maybe because this is the first one in a while that didn’t focus on the relationship between the Original siblings. It just felt a bit chaotic. Anyway, no new episode next week (or the 2 weeks after that). I know, I’m disappointed as well. The Originals will be back April 15th. So check back then for a new review and sound off in the comments with your opinions of this week’s episode.
