Vampire book club
Everything about this clip is just gold. The passive-aggressive banter between Elijah and Klaus. Elijah’s apparent actual concern about the carpet. THE WAY ELIJAH LOOKED AT HAYLEY WHEN SHE WALKED PAST, OMG. Hayley taking out ice cream and something else unhealthy for breakfast, and Elijah just casually putting it back and making her a bowl of cereal and glass of orange juice. Rebekah casually telling them to “add bleach” to the grocery list – and then equally casually dragging a dead body out the door. “Who do we have to kill?” “Probably no one.” Beat. “Okay, potentially everyone.” And Hayley’s smile at that.
Hayley starts being affected by the cursed needle

Have I mentioned how much I love the friendship between Hayley and Rebekah? Those two are too much fun together. And Rebekah’s concern for Hayley is so heartwarming. And then there’s Klaus’s reaction to finding out that the witch who did this is the same one who cursed Sean. I honestly believe that his wanting Agnes dead is as much for Cami’s sake as for the baby’s.
“Just focus on the sound of my voice”
Oh, be still my Haylijah-shipping heart. I don’t remember when I started shipping them the first time I watched this show. But, if it wasn’t at the end of the last episode, then it was this scene, right here. Elijah just jumps into the pool in his suit to take care of Hayley. The way he holds her. The quote I’m tagging this scene with. JUST LOOK AT THE WAY THEY’RE LOOKING AT EACH OTHER IN THAT SCREENCAP. You almost expect them to kiss, right there in front of Sophie and Rebekah. This is the moment that Rebekah realizes that they have feelings for each other, too. Check out the look on her face.
But, there’s also more to it. Speaking of Rebekah’s expressions, there’s her obvious relief when the spell works and Hayley is safe. And the sheer joy Davina feels when she gets the spell to work. She doesn’t even know that she’s just saved a life. She’s just so happy and proud of herself and fricking adorable.
Elijah kills Agnes
Elijah is just such a badass in this scene. Scenes like this one are where the saying “beware the nice ones” come from. And Klaus knew. The moment Elijah said that he had promised that Agnes wouldn’t die at his brother’s hands. Look at his face. He knew in that moment that Elijah was using an exact words loophole, and was about to kill the witch himself.
This episode is my favorite so far. Haylijah is getting awfully hot for a couple that hasn’t even had their first kiss, yet. You can cut the sexual tension between them with a knife. The siblings are incredible. And that contrast between Elijah being so sweet and gentle with Hayley and then a total badass with Agnes. Damn, that man is sexy as hell!
