When the Original vampires showed up on Vampire Diaries I was immediately intrigued. We already had vampires that were hundreds of years old, which is amazing. But then the thousand year old vampires showed up and stole the show.
Although this show is a spin off of our beloved Vampire Diaries series, it really has become it's own show. Several people I know haven't even seen Vampire Diaries but watch the Originals regularly. Even though both should be watched together since both are amazing shows. I am so excited this show is doing so well, and season 3 is going to be heart breaker, I can already tell.
Season 3 begins with the aftermath of a dramatic Season 2. Season 2 ended with darling baby hope in her father's arms. But all of Klaus's actions to have his daughter back come with consequences. Even if his actions were for a good reason.
Elijah and Klaus aren't talking. This isn't the first time there's tension between the two. And you guessed it, it's all Klaus's fault. At the end of Season 2 Hayley and her pack were cursed by Dahlia with the help of Klaus. Instead of being wolves once a month like the original werewolf curse, Hayley and her pack are now only humans once a month, the opposite of the original curse. And since Elijah's love for Hayley is undeniable we can understand why he's a little angry at Klaus.
The show also goes back and forth between modern times and the beginning of the vampire curse. Which is intriguing to watch because these confident powerful vampires are vulnerable in the beginning. In this flashback the vampire family are all together, feeding and murdering groups of people. Although Finn and Cole believe they would be safer from Mikael (their evil father who helped curse them) if they separate. However an opportunity presents itself when they murder five noble people in a carriage. They decide to stick together and pretend to be these people with the help of the only survivor. This survivor is named Lucien and becomes a very important character later on.
They go to the victims' original destination, an important party with important people. Their plan works and people believe they are who they say they are. One lady Klaus is attracted to, but we don't see anything happen there. We only see her as a vampire hundreds of years later in modern times, receiving a letter and turning angry at the words.
Back in modern times Klaus, as uncaring as he tries to seem, is seeing Camille for help. Camille is being Klaus's therapist. Which she has already been for quite some while, but now Camille insists on only having a professional relationship with Klaus. She even rejects to go to his art gallery, although shows up anyway, suspecting Klaus of a civilian murder.
Camille and Finn help the police with a murder case regarding the dead civilian. The victim is hung up and their mouth is cut open (resembling the joker in my opinion). A couple days later another victim is found the same way as the first murder. Everyone suspects Klaus, with good reason. But for once it isn't Klaus.
While Klaus is Camille's therapy patient, Elijah is trying to help poor Hayley with the curse. Every full moon when Hayley turns back into a human Elijah is waiting with food and her daughter. Can Elijah get more sweet? I swear he is the opposite of his brother. While Elijah is waiting for Hayley, hunters show up, saying that they are taking the land. They have been hunting wolves in the forests. Elijah isn't too keen on this advancement and kills them all on the spot. Then the rest of the episode he searches for the hunters to kill them, hoping to keep Hayley safe.
Lucien, the man from the flashbacks that helped the originals portray nobles, arrives in New Orleans to warn Klaus. He brings along a cipher named Alexis to convince Klaus that he is in danger. Klaus doesn't believe anything they say until Alexis shows him what she has seen. We think Lucien is on our side until we see him in another scene cutting his mouth like the two victims were cut. Telling us he is the murderer of the civilians.
This episode ends with Davina stealing away Hayley on the full moon, telling her that she is trapped so that she can help Davina. Davina needs help because although she is the leader of the witches in New Orleans, they loathe her and want to remove her from power. So she steals Hayley to hopefully save her power. Strange, because Davina refused to help with Hayley's curse when asked earlier in the episode. I hope this means they can negotiate and help each other.
Did you enjoy this season premiere? There was a lot of blood, murder, and deceit. But this show wouldn't be the Originals without it. I really hope Klaus is turning into a better vampire, but we will have to wait and see.
