Genevieve asking to be able to have a feast day
This clip is the closest I could find to what I was looking for. But, I love it. First of all, have I mentioned how sexy Elijah is when he’s dressed down? And then, I just love all the banter, snark, and sarcasm from both Mikaelson brothers. So much fun. And, of course, Hayley gets brought up. Because Klaus and Elijah can’t go five minutes without one of them bringing her up.
Elijah inviting the werewolves to the festival
Honestly, I like this more for Hayley and Elijah’s interaction than anything else. If only they had remembered how Elijah doesn’t trust Jackson later on. If only they had remembered that he always seemed to have an ulterior motive. Oh well. Elijah trying to look out for Hayley will always make me smile.
Jackson tells Hayley about the alliance with Klaus
Hayley taking charge and basically beating the shit out of Oliver is awesome. She’s starting to come into her own as a pack Alpha, and it’s really kind of beautiful to watch. Anyway, I just love when Hayley gets to be a badass. And when it’s against Oliver and Jackson, it’s just that much better. I wish I could find a clip that was just that scene, but… I take what I can get.
The start of the witches’ festival
First of all, there’s nothing like a party in New Orleans. But, really… I just love how proud Davina looks. Sometimes, it’s easy to forget that whatever else she may be, she’s a sixteen year old girl who has had a VERY rough year. Getting to see her relax a little and have fun is always a joy
Elijah escorts Hayley into the party
*Flails* Just look at how happy he is to see her! The man cannot stop smiling. Just from the fact that Hayley came to this party. That is all. Just… that smile…
Davina opens her gift
I just love any scene where Josh and Davina get to be just two kids together. Their friendship is so pure and beautiful. And the joy on both of their faces when they realize that Klaus not only has pardoned Josh, but that his gift to Davina is for Davina to be able to make Josh a Daylight Ring – complete with him giving them a ring to use – is just… They are so freaking adorable.
Elijah kills Thierry
Let me just be clear. I love Thierry, and was sorry to see him go. But, anytime Elijah gets to be a badass, I am all for it. And this is Elijah completely pissed off. Now, consider that his first concern after the attack was Hayley, kind of makes you wonder, doesn’t it? Having something to say about Marcel trying to destroy the alliance is one thing. This savagery, though… THAT is all the thought that Hayley could have been killed. You do not fuck with Hayley Marshall, not unless you want to deal with Elijah Mikaelson.
Klaus and Cami; Elijah watches Hayley
So much going on in these couple minutes. Klaus admitting to being jealous over Cami. I have always shipped these two. So, any time they get to interact, I am here for it. And just… Elijah… “What I want is for that girl to be happy.” Sappy lovesick fool. But, dammit! He flat-out told Klaus that he’s through burying his feelings for her. He should have taken Eve’s invitation. Sigh… But, just the way he looks at Hayley. How proud he is of her. Everything.
I liked this episode. It might not be near the top of the list of my all-time favorites, but it certainly wasn’t near the bottom, either. A party, some Haylijah yumminess, Elijah and Hayley both getting to be badasses, Davina and Josh getting to be cute teenagers, the Mikaelson brothers getting to be snarky, and Klaus taking a step on his redemption arc. Good episode, in general.
