As everyone struggles to decide how to deal with Dahlia’s looming deadline, Klaus retreats because he knows the only person he can trust is himself. Most people take this as a sign of Klaus unraveling, getting increasingly nervous about if he will protect Hope (even though that’s his ONE goal but ok). Hayley stays with Hope in the St James Infirmary, but when Dahlia stops by and shows the magic is not solid, we return to Jackson and Hayley’s dumb plan from last week, but at least it’s a little s...

Dahlia has finally arrived in New Orleans, and she makes her presence known by possessing multiple civilians and giving a taste of her power in a fight at St Anne’s. Dahlia’s arrival prompts Elijah to have Josephine create a safe house at St James Infirmary for Hayley and Hope. Meanwhile, it encourages Jackson to come up with a stupid plan, which he loops Hayley into. Luckily, double agent Aiden was able to sabotage it quite easily. Meanwhile, Klaus teams up with his former opps Mikael and Davin...

It’s time for Mikaelson family brunch, where Freya’s true intentions are put into question. She tells her life story, which is so tragic and sympathetic it would be suspicious if it wasn’t 100% true. The wolves spend some time in the bayou, where Aiden begins to question Jackson’s leadership. Rebeva blacks out multiple times while Eva attempts to break out. Finally, Marcel brings in Cami to talk to Vincent, and we learn that he has a history with Eva. Remember to rate, review, and share, brother...

With the packs officially unified it is time to put the werewolf army to work! Jackson, Hayley, and Klaus disagree on how and when to use the army, but naturally Klaus’s orders win out. Jackson struggles to be a good leader, instead focusing on Hayley, who is clearly focusing on forcing herself into the delusion of being in love with him. Just like with the werewolf army, Jackson is not putting himself in a good situation. Freya teams up with Finn to wake Mikael, who is happy to see the one kid ...

The day has come - Jackson and Hayley are getting married, in a ceremony completely designed by Klaus. Even baby Hope is invited! Klaus plans more than a wedding - he plans Jackson’s murder at the hands of Elijah, but lays off it in favor of inviting Jackson to move into the compound as a show of peace. So naturally, Elijah moves to Algiers! But it’s not all happy news for the Mikaelsons - Koleb is hexed and goes downhill fast, but still finds time to finish his golden dagger and kiss Davina. El...

Multiple plans underway this week as we deal with the fall out of Finn’s discovery and preparations for a mystical wedding. Hayley and Jackson get ready to expand the pack, since every wolf in earshot seems to want these hybrid powers! The vampires yet again are supernaturally hungry, but actually do get a little food today, at least until they are knocked put yet again.

Well, it looks like the Hope secret is out! In the bayou, Hayley decides to reveal it to Jackson as part of their unification ceremony prep, despite Klaus’s conflicting opinion. Across the river, Finncent tortures Marcel until he has enough information to deduce the secret himself. Meanwhile, speaking of secret family members, Rebekah makes a new friend at the witch asylum, and let’s just say we’re looking at a potential mother. Oh, and speaking of secrets, Jackson’s grandpa killed Hayley’s pare...

With Marcel and his vampires still trapped in the Mikaelson compound, Marcel faces additional stress as he hallucinates/remembers World War 1. We see the growth of Marcel as a leader, and if he can lead a group who is in the trenches drinking dirty cocoa and being left without gas masks certainly he can handle a group of vampires facing the equally difficult adversity of being hungry. The werewolves are now back in the bayou after escaping last week, and Hayley and Jackson start preparing for th...

Across town, Rebekah settles into the witch asylum, where she sees our old friend Pixie Cut (aka Cassie), meets some fake orderlies, and is haunted by a girl who very well may be her long lost...

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.

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 steampun...

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.
