The Originals Recap: Lethal Weapon 

Another day, another prophecy about the Mikaelsons’ untimely demise. At least no one can say that Friday’s episode of

Vampire Diaries Crossover: How Will Klaus React to Caroline’s Pregnancy?

But before I dive into that bit of unpleasantness, let’s talk about

Campire! Despite Klaus’ insistence that the newly undead psychologist “learn from the best,” Cami instead took a page from

This led to a handful of unexpected twists — including Cami snatching the Original-killing weapon out from under their noses — but the greatest of all was her real-talk moment with a(n allegedly) grief-stricken Hayley: “It’s not grief, it’s relief,” Cami told her. “It’s obvious you’re in love with Elijah, and now that Jackson is gone, you’re free. It must be nice, like a weight lifted.” (My reaction, gif’d for your pleasure.)

Though Cami almost immediately retracted her heinous outburst, she wasn’t entirely off the mark. The final moments of the episode found Hayley breaking down and admitting to Elijah that what she’s 

feeling is guilt: “Loving any of us is a death sentence, isn’t it?” (Dark… but kind of true.)

MARCEL, MARCEL | Was anyone else surprised to see Marcel prove his alliance to the Strix this week? I wasn’t expecting him to turn over a Knight of Pentacles card at dinner, and I’ve got to say, I’m thinking less of him less as a result. And the fact that Josh is trying to re-partner with Marcel in an attempt to stop the Strix is making me nervous that he’ll be reunited Aiden sooner rather than later. #NoGuestStarIsSafe

‘KLAYLEY’ MOMENT | I never thought I’d see the day when Klaus and Hayley manage to have a civil conversation, and yet, here we are. “You will always have a home here,” he told her, confirming executive producer Michael Narducci’s tease about Hope’s parents

GHOST TOWN | In exchange for a spell to reunite her with Kol, Davina agreed to ally herself with the Strix, a promise she regretted within

of reuniting with the love of her life, now in the body of Nathaniel Buzolic. Sadly, their big romantic reunion was cut short when it became clear to Davina that staying in dead-world would mean certain death, though she vowed to bring Kol back to our side one day.

PREMONITION IMPOSSIBLE | Of course, Davina wasn’t the 

Big Easy resident to work with Aya this week; Elijah also paid a visit to the Strix leader, who promised she could track down the mysterious Originals-killing weapon. Naturally, his meeting with Aya’s seer — played by 

‘s Haley Ramm! — was all bad news: a little “unending darkness,” some “pale horse” action and, lastly, of a “flame that will burn you all.” Faaaantastic.

I’m so embarrassed by how dumb they’ve made Klaus. In what world would a real IN CHARACTER Klaus have anything that could kill him laying around in his house??? We are talking about the most paranoid, untrustworthy creature in the world. I’m done with show after this. Can’t deal with how OOC they have made him.

I feel like they are trying to humanize him, but they don’t have to make him a naive idiot in the process.

It was a sentimental piece from their childhood, he never destroyed it likely becuz he figured no one would ever know what it was made from, and it had a special meaning to him.

Nobody knew that the black horse was a danger to them. They just found that out. Its probably his love for Camile that’s making him so naive.

I remember when he used to be like one step above everybody…

Cami, a very newly turned vampire deceiving Klaus seemed like lazy writing. C’mon guys….

I agree, I missed the Klaus that was 2 steps ahead. They got to bring back the sociopath , that hint of good but darkness that scares he’ll out of you and you know better. Please writers get it together.

Davina being back was the best part of the episode! I didn’t realize how much I missed her. Also glad to see that she has just as much chemistry with this Kol. Can’t wait to see their story amp up!!

When Davina seen the REAL Kol this episode and was like “Kol?!” I had like almost the same reaction lol. Followed by cheering. So excited for the REAL Kol to be back, or coming back!

I was perplexed with the episode at first but Cami did die in the most horrific way on Christmas Eve. All her agency was stolen from her. Her family always met the same horrific fate by the supernatural world. All she had left were those dark objects that her uncle left. It was the last extension of the memory of when she was human cataloging and discovering all those secrets. Cami’s mind is in over drive and her emotions off kilter. Hoping Klaus will now be the friend she needs and not a bodyguard. And Leah Pipes slayed her character this episode!

Just cringing at how bad they made Klaus’ character. There is no way he would have forgotten about anything that he carved from THE ONE THING THAT COULD KILL HIM. Like seriously, stop dumbing him down to prop up other poorer characters. It didn’t work last season, and it’s making me give this show up. I miss the REAL Klaus.

Thank you! Totally agree. Klaus is one of my favorite characters, I hope to never have to stop.

Awesome episode! Cami is still Cami, but with a dark, rebellious twist, likely related to her being Renekahs sireline and the current prophecy.

OMG! YES! It looks like the REAL Kol Mikaelson ( Nathaniel Buzolic ) might finally be returning to the series!! So excited about that! I’ve been waiting years!

Finally justice for Kol!! Elena is burned and Kol looks like he may be resurrected! So happy about this! The reasoning behind why Elena had Kol killed was ridiculous, so glad his character might finally be redeemed! Loved his character before annoying Elena had him killed.

Make Klaus what he was in season 4 of TVD. I’ve more than enjoyed every single episode of the Originals, I love the show and NEVER want to see it end. Like it literally the show I look forward to most every week on CW. But I have to admit, the Klaus and Elijah when they first got their TV series roots were amazing.

Andy, or any Admin who reads this, next time you have a inside source question/answer session, ask about Klaus’ daughter, Hope on the Originals. When is she going to grow up, and be something other than a defenceless infant ? After all she’s 1/2 werewolf, 1/4 Original vampire, 1/4 witch.

Nae Buzolic!!!!! Yes, please get him out of that ghost Hell!!!

And may I just say the last scene with Hayley holding Jackson’s shirt and crying so sadly- OMG- so sad and so beautiful at the same time- I was not even bothered about Elijah being there. I guess, Elijah knows so well how it is- as it must evoke memories of Tatia!!!!

Elijah and tatia is a different case to that of Hayley because Hayley didn’t love Jackson, all she feels is guilt. Her true love is Elijah. Sorry to say but am glad Jackson is dead, Elijah and Hayley will finally have a chance together. Lol, so glad your back, I hope you will help your family and not be against them. Freya didn’t appear in this episode, really love her so much and how much she’s protecting her siblings.
