Keiran’s funeral
Can’t find a clip of this. But, everything about it. From the way all of the factions came together to pay their respects to the man who probably did more to hold that city together than anyone else, to Leah Pipes’s beautiful acting and how we could just FEEL Cami’s pain. Add in some snarky brotherly banter between the Mikaelson men, because these two can’t go five minutes without snarking at each other, and it was a really nice scene.
“I was going to say you look lovely”
Both Elijah’s and Klaus’s concern for Hayley. Her snarky answer when Elijah asks if she’s okay. His comment. The “suuurrreee that’s what you were going to say” look she gives him, and his self-satisfied smirk like he actually thinks she bought that. More banter between all three of them (I tell you, I live for the snarky banter on this show, it’s seriously a toss-up between that and squee-worthy Haylijah moments). GENEVIEVE, of all people, being the first to notice that there’s something wrong with Hayley, and then actually HELPING them with her. Elijah’s panic. I would imagine that it would take a lot to scare Elijah Mikaelson, and this is TERRIFYING him.
Hayley’s near death experience
Picks up right where the last clip leaves off. I love pretty much everything about this scene. Genevieve still helping to save Hayley, Klaus being willing to do ANYTHING to save his child. Yes, that included letting Hayley die, but baby steps. He’s trying to at least be a father, here. Give the man some credit. Hayley’s confrontation with Mikael. The way, when she thought she was dead, she didn’t even care for herself – it was the idea that the baby had joined her that had her a wreck. (Which also brings it back to the fact that if Genevieve hadn’t been able to save her, she would have WANTED Klaus to rip the baby out of her, so he may have been a bit premature, but he really was doing the right thing.) And then there’s Elijah. Calm, stoic Elijah THROWING THINGS when he thought they had lost her. Does anybody really have any doubts anymore that this is more than just an attraction? Can you really doubt that this man is completely in love with her? “I won’t lose either of them.” *Swoons*
Klaus shows Hayley the baby’s room
While I am 100% team Haylijah and always have been, and have never shipped Klayley, as I’ve said before, they ARE having a child together. Watching them bonding over that, and preparing to be co-parents is always sweet and fun. It is obvious that they do love each other, in a way. It just never quite compares to Hayley and Elijah’s feelings for each other, and definitely evolves into a more brother-sister relationship. But, this scene is adorable.
Hayley and Elijah kiss
It’s about damn fucking time! We’d been waiting for this moment for fourteen bloody episodes! But, it was worth the wait. I could watch these two kiss all day. Not sure what that says about me.
There you go. The factions all coming together to honor a great man. Snarky brotherly banter between Elijah and Klaus. Hayley being a badass. Klaus being sweet. Elijah showing a side of himself that we’ve never seen before. And Haylijah being adorable and swoon-worthy.
Next episode has my FAVORITE Haylijah kiss, though. *Squeals* I can’t wait.
