Davina’s day out
Whatever else she may be, Davina is also a sixteen year old girl. And her scenes with Marcel and Cami during her day out exemplify that. For one day, she gets to not be this super-powerful witch under the protection of the leader of the local vampires. For one day, she gets to be a typical sixteen year old girl, just trying to have some fun. Marcel acting like an over-protective father, and Cami teasing her about the boy like an older sister just adds to the fun.
Elijah making Rebekah promise to take care of Hayley and the baby
I love Elijah’s concern for Hayley, here. Made even more interesting by what Rebekah didn’t catch. Klaus was almost an afterthought. Elijah’s concern is for Hayley and her baby. And note that every time he mentions the baby, it is in reference to Hayley. The fact that this baby is also Klaus’s is barely a consideration. And “she’s family now”… *Swoons*. Hayley may not be in the scene, but I think it counts as a Haylijah scene. Because Elijah is coming to care for her as a person.
Rebekah saving Hayley
First of all, these two are just badass. Second, I love the whole “girl power” vibe. But, mostly, I love Hayley and Rebekah as friends. It’s something we just don’t get to see enough of on the show. But, the two of them looking out for each other was awesome.
Hayley’s return after the witches attacked
So much beauty in this scene. Klaus’s concern for Hayley. The realization that the baby healed Hayley. Klaus’s reaction to that. Klaus wanting to kill Agnes for hurting Hayley and his child. Rebekah’s insinuation that Elijah just might make him get in line. The look on Hayley’s face when Rebekah said that Elijah asked for them to keep Hayley safe… Oh, that smile. That sweet, lovestruck smile… “I’ve gotcha love. I’ve got you.” Again, I have never shipped Klayley, but Klaus being sweet to Hayley still melts my heart, every time.
Elijah wakes up
Have I mentioned that Elijah is my favorite character? Because he is. So, there is no way that a list of my favorite scenes from this episode could be complete without his return. It’s short, and not much happens in it. But… Hell yes! Elijah is back!
This was a fun episode. I just love the way the characters interact with each other. And things are really starting to pick up in terms of plot.
