Sometimes The Originals can be hard to understand, which is why we regularly employ GIFs from other shows to do the explaining for us. This week, Buffy the Vampire Slayer is on duty to help recap "A Closer Walk with Thee," which features Father Kieran's funeral, plus a lot of gross blood. Seriously, it comes out of eyes, mouths, and noses. It's too much. Mikael is also on the scene, showing up in people's nightmares all Freddy Krueger style. In any case, I hope you caught up, but if you didn't, this will help! Source: The CW
With death comes new life — even in New Orleans, where death roams the streets every night. Get it? Because the vampires are dead. Seriously though, did you see the smile that creeps up on Klaus's face when the baby appears? He's totally going to make an awesome dad. Like, if the baby survives.
OK, it's just a dream sequence, but still. To be honest, I love a good Mikael appearance to spice things up, but I'm not super into seeing black blood spill out of Klaus's mouth. Stay tuned, more of that to come.
Hey girl, get outta here. New Orleans doesn't take kindly to strangers showing up at wakes and demanding property that belonged to the deceased.
Not the baby! Wait, is that a voodoo doll? Since when are these witches into voodoo?
Girl, it's Mee-kale. Learn your baby daddy's father's name, already.
We've known bits and pieces about Klaus and Marcel's past, but we finally get to see Klaus turn Marcel in a flashback. Not only does Marcel sacrifice himself for a female slave who is being beaten, Klaus makes the ultimate choice by agreeing to turn Marcel. How weird is it to think that Klaus is essentially Marcel's dad?
Boom! All season long we've been enduring longing glances and stolen moments. Finally, a kiss! Elijah is so into it he has to dart out of there at vampire speed. Totally worth it.
Don't open that door, girl. Obviously she's going to do it and chaos will ensue and I'm going to love every minute of it, but this little witch needs to get a clue.
