Father Kieran summing up Marcel’s situation
I really need to learn how to do video editing so that I can just make my own clips. Save me the trouble of trawling youtube for clips that don’t exist. Anyway… I just love Kieran’s snark, here. I don’t know how much is the hex, and how much is just him. But, either way, he is so much fun. I love this character and will be very sad to see him go in a few episodes.
Klaus and Rebekah have a heart to heart talk
This scene is just heartbreaking. From the look on Klaus’s face when Rebekah finally admits that there might have been at least some part of her that wanted him dead, to her entire impassioned speech. Watching them attempt to purge centuries of pain was beautiful. Celeste almost did them a favor, really, giving them this opportunity to really talk.
Rebekah says her goodbyes
Okay, slightly frustrating that I couldn’t find a clip that had all of this in one clip. But… Rebekah’s goodbyes are just freaking beautiful. I cried through this whole sequence. It was kind of sad that neither Elijah or Marcel would go with her. Though, I wonder if either of them realized that in Elijah’s case, it probably wasn’t really him choosing Klaus over her – again. I fully believe that this time, whether he realized it or not, a big part of why Elijah stayed… is HAYLEY. And speaking of Hayley… the look on her face when Rebekah was talking about there being hope for Klaus. You can tell that she was expecting Rebekah to tell her to give a relationship with him a chance – and she didn’t like that idea one bit. Her relief at the bit about the baby being Klaus’s hope was subtle, but it was there.
Okay, really only three scenes on here. But, I actually really liked this episode. Seeing the family dynamic between the Mikaelson siblings was beautiful. But, that’s exactly why there ended up being so few scenes on this list. The whole episode was amazing. Watching the three of them try to purge a thousand years of pain and heartbreak in one night was… beyond words. In truth, a full list of my favorite scenes would… be the entire episode. No Haylijah, but beautiful emotion from all three of the Mikaelsons. It’s stunning, and it gave me chills – in a good way.
