In the beginning of this episode I was like 99 % Lucien was a murdering psychopath. This may still be true, but now I'm not so sure if he killed all those victims in the Quarter. Even though he did cut his mouth like the victims in the first episode, turns out there may be more of a story behind this bloody smile.
Back in the 11th century, the vampires and Lucien are having a great time. Lucien is still helping them keep their cover while they live at the castle (I think it's a castle anyway). But Lucien is in love with
Aurora, Tristan's sister. Tristan and Aurora's father is the ruler of this kingdom, so this is a huge problem for Lucien because he's just a poor little peasant. He tells Klaus of his love over Aurora, and asks him to deliver a letter to her. Apparently when Aurora and Lucien were much younger they were good friends so this letter won't be totally out of the blue. But Klaus lies to Lucien and tells him Aurora won't accept his letter. Even though Klaus never even attempted to hand it over.
Klaus is also keeping a dirty little secret, he's also in love with Aurora. They've been sleeping together for a while now, and Klaus never mentions this to Lucien. But of course Lucien walks in on them when they are in each other's arms. He's heart broken. Things get even more intense when Tristan walks in. Klaus is already gone, making it look like Tristan and Aurora were the ones fondling with each other. He takes him away and punishes him severely and whips him repeatedly.
But Klaus tries to stop Tristan from whipping his friend anymore and attempts to plead with him. Tristan denies his request and tells Klaus that he knows all their family secrets. He knows they are all beasts of the night. With this new information Klaus threatens him, telling him he will basically murder him if he doesn't stop whipping Lucien. But Tristan has already planned for this. He informs Klaus that if Tristan is killed, there are people ready to tell all of the Michelson's secrets.
So Klaus can't do anything for his friend, but does sneak in when Tristan isn't in the dungeon with Lucien. He releases Lucien and heals him with his blood. Lucien stupidly goes after Tristan, in a blind rage. He finds him and attempts to kill Tristan, but Tristan's guard stabs the heartbroken servant, killing him almost instantly. Afterwards, while Klaus is about to bury Lucien, Lucien wakes up, now a vampire. Making Lucien Klaus' first vampire he sired.
Now that we have information about Lucien's past, he doesn't look so guilty. Back in modern times Lucien is taking into custody and questioned by the police. Lucien forces the officer questioning him to let him talk to Camille, alone. Camille is a little terrified but goes into the questioning room anyway. This is where Lucien tells his story and attempts to prove his innocence. He tells her that he didn't kill any of those humans, and that someone is trying to make it look like he did. He points the finger at Tristan, and now nobody knows who the real murderer is.
Tristan finally shows up in this episode when Elijah finds him. Elijah only finds where he's hiding when Tristan's little minion, Aya shows up and takes Marcel. We learn that Elijah sired both Tristan and Aya. Tristan explains to Elijah that their vampire line is at risk, that they can't trust anyone. Because there's a weapon that can kill an original out in the world. He also tells him that he shouldn't even trust Klaus. Because even though Klaus believes family is important, he has an extreme anger problem. Who knows if one day he'll crack and kill Elijah to save himself? Elijah calmly listens but doesn't do anything drastic except treat Marcel like a child. This doesn't seem like a big deal but Marcel takes it the wrong way and starts to plan his demise. Poor Marcel, his feelings were hurt. Vampires can be so sensitive.
This entire episode Klaus is trying to find Lucien to murder him. Big surprise there, Klaus always thinks the solution to any problem is murder. But when he finally reaches Lucien he listens to what he has to say. Klaus doesn't believe him entirely about not killing those people, but he stops his murdering quest. Klaus goes back to his home and tells Elijah more about the prophecy about them turning against each other. Klaus tells Elijah in a heartfelt moment that no matter how angry they are at each other, Klaus will never kill Elijah. Unfortunately Elijah is still pissed about everything that happened with Hayley, so they don't make up, but at least we saw a sweet side of Klaus for once.
I'm not sure who the murderer is, but I don't think it's Lucien anymore. After learning of his past, I have sympathy for this character. Who do you think is the murderer in New Orleans?
