geebsTV commentary:
The Originals- So we learn all about what happened in NOLA in the 20s. Apparently 6 months had passed with nary a peep from Mikael, so Marcel and the Bekster think they've dodged a bullet. And they're feeling guilty, since Klaus apparently actually gave him their blessing. (So why were things so tense when they returned recently, if he had actually given his okay?) Meanwhile, Klaus was dating a werewolf queen, apparently one from Hayley's clan, before they were cursed.
But then daddy shows up. He tries to get Elijah to help him, but of course he'll always choose Klaus. So he stakes him to get out of the way. Then he confronts Klaus at some opera the Mikaelsons and Marcel had been invited to. Klaus says he's fine with Mikael killing him, because his legacy will live on. Of course, his dad is all, "Not so fast!" The theater is full of compelled supporters, who Mikael made just sit there and applaud and laugh at the macabre scene on stage- all of Klaus' most loyal followers, dead, or in the case of Marcel, dying. Mikael says he'll kill everyone in NOLA who thinks highly of Klaus, until its as if he was obliterated from the history books.
There's a fight, but Elijah shows up to rescue his siblings. They escape, but think Mikael kills Marcel. Elijah holds their dad off, while Klaus and Beks run, presumably to Chi-town where they meet up with Stefan.
In the present, Elijah removed the dagger and had Cami watch over his brother, feeding him her vervain tainted blood so he'll be slower to heal. He hopes she'll be able to talk Klaus down. Klaus is busy telling her this story, but is eventually able to gain enough strength to leave, with the super white oak stake, which he apparently had, hidden. Cami tries to get him to give up on his revenge, that hunting and terrorizing Marcel and Rebekah would make him just like his father. But he says he won't be like his father, intent on humiliating them before killing them, he just going to grant them a quick death once he finds them.
Anyways, he knows Marcel and Rebekah haven't left- indeed, they'd need to return to NOLA to find a witch to put a cloaking spell on them so Klaus can't find them. And indeed they are- but not any witch, Davina. They think by killing the other witches, she'll come back. With Thierry's help (he makes it looks like he's going to turn traitor on them, but its a ruse to get close) Marcel manages to kill Bastiana again, by ripping her head off, but Rebekah is unable to kill Genevieve. Still, they go the graveyard to steal Davina's body so they'll have it on hand after they've killed the resurrected witches.
Unfortunately, Sabine predicted their actions, casting a spell that traps Original vampires in the graveyard. So Rebekah's stuck. But she tells Marcel to flee with Davina, so he does.
Elijah, meanwhile is busy with the Hayley thing. She had captured Sabine, and she and her wolf friends make her make a cure, which will end the curse if they take it during the next full moon. Elijah finds them and tells them not to trust her, thinking its a trick by Sabine. And that they can't hope to keep her under control until the next moon to be sure. But Hayley says she has an army, and the wolves of the swamp scream in unison. So looks like Hayles has her own little powerbase now.
Still, Elijah's skeptical and manages to quickly grab Sabine and the "cure". Turns out its legit- either way she gets revenge on Elijah- destroy the cure and Hayley will hate him forever. Give her the cure and she'll have her wolves back and eventually leave him for them. Which isn't necessarily true. But of course he gives Hayley the cure.
Sabine's still happy though, because she has more revenge lined up- he was so busy with Hayley, he didn't realize Klaus figured out Rebekah and Marcel would come back. So he takes her to the graveyard, and like Rebekah, realizes Sabine cast a spell on the place to trap them there.
But Sabine got cocky- she leaves the graveyard and kills herself so Celeste can inhabit a new body. But, Elijah made a deal with Monique before- he told her not to trust Sabine, that are she's had revenge on the Mikaelsons, she'll flee with the power within her, instead of sacrificing herself to put the power back. So he had Monique cast a spell that would redirect Celeste back to her original body, which they kept in the graveyard. If Sabine was being truthful, she'd die, and the power would return to the witches. If not, she'd try to escape but end up in her original body. She obviously does the latter.
She comes back to life in her body (which was restored by the spell, its not like she came back into a pile of bones), but Elijah's right there, waiting to kill her with that one knife. With that business done, he finds Rebekah just about the same time Klaus does. So, the ep ends with a face-off between the siblings, Klaus with the white oak steak, Elijah with the ceremonial knife. Guess we'll have to wait next week to see what happens.
PLL- So apparently, Spencer went to and left rehab between eps. She thinks things will be back to normal for her now. Wrong! Her mom hires Kol from the Vampire Diaries as some sort of live-in drug coach, basically confining Spence to the house and taking away her phone and internet. He tries to get her to open up, so she can heal. And its funny, because she's making some real breakthroughs, realizing something hidden deep down within her for so long, that she might've killed Ali (or rather, attacked her, since we know Ali's still alive) while high on drugs. So while these things are springing up for her, she can't fully talk it out with him, because what is she going to say, I think I murdered a girl, but she's not actually dead, she's secretly hiding from someone who's been terrorizing us?
Meanwhile, Holbrook and Tanner are playing good cop/bad cop with Hanna. He nicely asks her if he knows anything about the anonymous note saying Ali's alive, then he shows up later with Tanner, who threatens her all, "when we match the handwriting to you, you'll be in big trouble missy!" Hanna's not to worried, because she legit doesn't know who wrote the letter. They are actually inclined to believe her, and are hesitant to push too hard given they wrongly accused her mother or Wilden's murder. But they do think something hincky is going on and decide to continue to watch her.
She goes on a date with Travis, but is distracted by seeing them talking to Jessica Delaurentis, and then texting with the liars on her phone. So its a pretty terrible date, but Hanna does kiss him good night to reassure him she really does like him and would like to do this again some time. Then later, when she speaks with the Liars, she recognizes Paige's handwriting from a note on Emily's wall, but is hesitant to tell Em just yet that Paige was the one who wrote the note.
Em spends the ep staring down Ezra and Mona. Ezra tries to apologize about the blatant misuse of trust. Emily is after Mona because she publicly breaks up with Mike, and he thinks they made Mona break up with him. Mona says she was going out with Mikey after being blackmailed by Ezra on the illegal things she did as A, but she really fell for him and broke up with him so he wouldn't eventually get hurt. Which again, if Ezra isn't A and the whole book thing is for real (which it seems it is now) its one thing to be spying on them, I can see how he can justify spying on teenage girls and dating them for a story. But blackmailing someone to spy on them? That's a whole other level!!
Aria spends most of the ep in Syracuse, where she screws some random other prospective who is a legacy but wants to study music at Berkley. After the drunken sex-fest, he decides to tell his parents he wants to do Berkley, and insists she confront Ezra (whom he just knows as a bad bf, Aria didn't reveal the really crazy stuff), because why is she the one in exile from her own hometown. So she does, demands Ezra leave town and says things will never be the same between them as he tries to reconcile with her. But, he gives her his manuscript, saying he was in NY to return the advance he got and cancel the book.
So she reads it, and finds out he and Mona suspect that Ali's mom is A. But why would she be scaring them off if she wants Ali to come home? Spencer suspects it might be because she thinks Spencer tried to kill her daughter. So hilariously, even though they have the same goals, if Jessica is A, both sides thought the other was trying to kill Ali. HA! Oh, and heh, when Jessica saw Hanna on a date, she managed to not make a backhanded compliment about how Hanna used to be a fatty. So that's growth, right?
