TVLINE | Cami and Klaus seem to have switched roles; he’s opening up to her and she’s pushing him away. What does their future hold?
I think their future holds some emotional exploration. For Klaus, it’s so funny, he can’t even admit he’s in therapy — he has to call it their “little chats.” But in this time when everyone’s a little mad at him, he actually thinks she’s his rock, so she has to remind him that just because she’s supportive of him as a person, that doesn’t necessarily mean she condones his actions. If he acts out or does anything that she finds dishonorable, she’s going to hold him to it and call him out.
TVLINE | Speaking of acting out, the episode ended with him ripping that guy apart in the alley.
[Laughs] He sure did! Cami’s words really wounded him, and when Klaus is wounded, he reverts back to that little boy who acts out and kicks and screams. In vampire language, that translates to ripping off the limbs of a nasty art critic.
TVLINE | Should we be worried about him going off the rails again?
I don’t think Klaus ever specifically goes off the rails. He’s pretty deliberate in the choices that he makes, though he sometimes lets his emotions and temper get the best of him. I’d call this a temper tantrum and leave it at that for now.

What does Davina (Danielle Campbell) want with Hayley (Phoebe Tonkin)?
Davina, having taken Marcel's (Charles Michael Davis) advice perhaps a little bit too much to heart, really needs an assist in dealing with the witches that have shown their disrespect to her. She wants to make a point and she wants to make it loudly, and she's going to use Hayley to help her do that.
Is she at all thinking of the ramifications of this?
Davina doesn't think much about the Originals family these days. She's riding a wave of power and a little bit of arrogance, and isn't thinking her actions might have repercussions. When all is said and done, the family has been trying for months to undo this curse, and here Davina strolls along and undoes it with a blink of the eye. Even if they're angry, the end result is the return of Hayley, so that is a good thing.
Speaking of the curse, we saw a lot of dead wolves in this hour. Are all of the wolves we know safe? And when will we see them again?
We will see the familiar faces we are hoping to see very soon in the season; by the second episode, we'll know our favorite wolves are intact.
After months of positive behavior, Klaus (Joseph Morgan) snapped and killed a critic of his art. How will he be handling this step back?
Klaus has spent a lot of months on his, allegedly, best behavior. As Marcel says, when Klaus is on his best behavior, it's only a matter of time until he has to act out. And in this case, he's feeling the sting of rejecting yet again when he does so much to try and turn over a new leaf, and yet still gets called a disappointment -- it's that little kid whose parents just didn't raise him right and treat him well, coming out to fight back.

The cage-fighting
It’s so great. A lot of times when you’re a writer on a show you seek out your actors’ special skills over the years — somebody knows how to sing or play an instrument, you try to find clever ways to write that in. Well Daniel [Gillies] has been hitting the boxing gyms pretty fiercely since the beginning of the series. In fact, one of our writers, Declan [de Barra], fights, [and] that’s how they met before the show even started — Declan was training at the same gym as Daniel. It’s been fun to integrate that into our New Orleans universe.
And for Marcel to be able to have his own space where he can vet future vampires and make sure that they’re strong of hearts and minds and body before he gets them into this mess is really important too.
Those flashbacks
It’s funny because when we were talking about what flashbacks to do and what era to set them in, we talked about everything that we’ve already done over all the centuries and we collectively realized that we had never told the story of how they became who they are. We told the story of how they became Originals but not how they went from the backwoods of 9th century undiscovered New World into the posh worldly European kings and queens that they are. So we wanted to start them from nothing and tell the story of how they became refined and creative and all those wonderful things. This was our way of doing that.

So there’s a serial killer on the loose in New Orleans. Have the writers settled on who the killer is?
Yes. We have figured out [who that is] and I think it’s pretty safe to say that with the arrival of vicious, crazy people in town the odds of someone taking a knife across someone’s cheekbones are pretty strong.
We saw that at the end of the episode, but I didn’t know if that was a red herring.
It could well be. We shall have to see.
You also have a new detective this season, played by “Veronica Mars” alum Jason Dohring, who seems blissfully oblivious to all the supernatural activities in town.
Every now and then when our humans get too deeply in the know, we like to open up the world to humans who don’t know they are living in a supernatural crockpot. Detective Will Kinney is one of the people who is maybe rightfully suspicious and maybe confused in what he finds.
But it is New Orleans, after all. There’s a seedy side to the alleyways and around the corner, regardless, with the supernatural beings. Even when you go visit, there’s vampire tours and tarot card readers and alleged witches. For him, he’s trying to figure out what’s real and what’s not.
