Hayley taking care of Elijah
I doubt anyone has taken care of Elijah since he was a child. Watching him not know what to do with someone trying to do so now is kind of fun. The jokes about annihilating Klaus made me laugh. But, really… Just… Hayley’s refusal to leave him. Her reassuring him that she’s here, and he’s going to be okay. It was so beautiful. And his reaction to realizing that he had called Hayley “Celeste” was kind of cute, too.
Marcel and Rebekah make plans to take down Klaus
First of all, Tyler is one of several characters who my opinion of changes depending on which show I’m watching. I started watching The Originals, first. After watching three seasons, I decided to watch The Vampire Diaries before coming back to The Originals. I grew to like Tyler on TVD. But, man did I despise the little punk on TO. And in this scene, I was really wishing that Rebekah had just ripped his heart out instead of just snapping his neck. But, gotta love “Auntie Beks” looking out for her niece. “That’s enough talk about harming that baby.” You go girl!
Cami giving Klaus a piece of her mind
I love Cami. And her telling Klaus off, here, is really the start of her real character arc. This is where she starts becoming his conscience. And every word she says here, is 100% true. Watching her – a normal human woman with NOTHING on her side – stand up and tell off the single most powerful being on the planet is kind of awesome. She is taking no shit. And I love it. Here’s to Cami – the badass normal. Using her brains to hold her own against Klaus fucking Mikaelson.
Josh the double agent
Watching poor Josh act out his own private spy movie is kind of hilarious. The poor kid is in way over his head. And, since I love him, I want to feel bad for him. But, all I can do is sit here and laugh.
Klaus fighting Marcel’s army
Klaus is such a badass. Yes, I spent large portions of the first two seasons hating him for the way he treated Elijah and Hayley, but that doesn’t change anything. He is still a badass. And the music in this scene is incredible. Add in Rebekah realizing how totally screwed they are and basically saving Marcel’s life… So freaking perfect.
Elijah shows Hayley what happened to Celeste
Gods! These two are just made for each other! Can we just discuss the part at the end? Elijah literally admitted to having feelings for Hayley but that he needs to stay away to protect her. I want to cry. Fuck Klaus and his bullshit! I just want my babies to be happy.
Whoo! I ended up with a lot of scenes this time! But, there was a lot of my favorite characters showing WHY I love them so much. I liked this episode. Though not the fact that the conversation Hayley and Elijah have in that last clip is probably a big part of why I still have to wait more than TEN MORE EPISODES to see the first Haylijah kiss. It should have happened right there, in that car. They both wanted it, but Elijah has to be all noble. Sigh…
