Tonight on The Originals, we found out that girls like boys who are nice to them (what a concept) and we discovered that babies on supernatural shows are almost always trouble!
So the crux of tonight’s episode revolved around Rebekah and Klaus and their plan to get Elijah back from Marcel. As usual whenever Klaus makes a plan he never tells anyone the whole thing, but tonight it actually worked out in his favor. I also liked that it turned out the witch who made the call to tattle on Hayley (from last week’s episode) was more than just a throwaway thing, and she was dealt with tonight. Turns out the witch, Katie, was in love with one of Marcel’s inner circle vampires, the same one that Klaus bit and then cured in the backdoor pilot (as well as the first episode but I like to just close my eyes and pretend that episode didn’t happen). They both figure deeply into Klaus’s plan and in effect his plan winds up killing two birds with one stone, The siblings almost get Elijah back and Klaus gets one very untrusting vampire henchman, daywalker Thierry, off his back and away from Marcel’s ear.

Rebekah, like Klaus, also brings in elements to the plan that he doesn’t anticipate but honestly they work out in their own way. Tonight Beks contributed by bringing the blonde apple of Marcel’s eye, Cami, to the fund-raising party he was throwing. Now I think it’s pretty clear that Klaus has a bit of a thing for Cami as well, which makes more sense here than the sudden adoration of Caroline over on TVD, plus the guy clearly has a thing for spunky blondes. It’s a delicate game they’re playing by not wanting to piss off the Klaroline shippers by also having Klaus continually push her towards Marcel; all the while Klaus manages to give Cami a not so subtle dose of bedroom eyes and it works like a charm. I’m waiting for the other shoe to drop when someone gives her some vervain and Klaus can’t do a thing to make her forget Marcel’s temper anymore.

I also felt like tonight’s episode was a commentary on the ‘epic love’ that the CW and The Vampire Diaries tend to throw around so freely. Here we had the witch Katie and the vampire Thierry who were both madly in love with each other, and Klaus was able to anticipate their actions because of it thus leading both to their dooms. It was also great to show that as a fully-powered witch Katie could have potentially killed Marcel had Klaus not stepped in and snapped her neck. Not to mention that we also got to see how Marcel punishes people who break his rules and fucking hell if his apple didn’t fall far from Klaus’ tree there. After Thierry kills a vampire, Marcel sentences him with one hundred years in The Garden. The Garden turns out to be some underground prison where Marcel drives a metal stake through the guilty party and then bricks them into the wall or floor for them to dessicate--trapped for however long their sentence is for. It sure sounds a hell of alot like how Klaus would punish his siblings, except regular vampires don’t have those fancy daggers to use.

Back to not underestimating witches, we’re certainly being shown a big red flag when it comes to Devina. Turns out that Sophie knows about her, and looked quite anxious when Rebekah asked her about it. Also, she flat out refuses to give Elijah back to Marcel after he agrees to give the trapped Original or ‘old one’ back to Klaus. I really want to know what her deal is, so hopefully we’ll find out more about her backstory sooner rather than later. As I’m sure when Marcel tells Klaus next week that he can’t have Elijah back there will be hell to pay.
