I didn't think it was possible to love Elijah even more, but this episode proved otherwise. He's so polite and elegant, and I fell in love with this character when he first premiered on Vampire Diaries. He just keeps getting better and better! My all time favorite vampire in anything. Alright, now that I've shared my obsession, let's hop into this episode.
There is still a looming prophecy hanging above these originals head. They finally fill Hayley in on this prophecy but she wants proof from the witch with this devastating vision. So, Lucien takes Klaus to where this witch is staying. But she's gone, and Lucien assumes that someone must have taken her.
Back in the quarter, a confused Marcel finds a suit waiting for him. Tristan calls him and tells him that he wants Marcel to be one of them. He thinks Marcel has what it takes to be a ruler. He invites Marcel to a gala hosted by the Stricts (basically the vampire government). Marcel decides to go to this Gala, as well as Elijah and Hayley.
At the Gala everyone is staring at Elijah. Apparently Elijah sired most of these Stricts, because he always picked smart people who wanted to change the world. So naturally most of his sired line are part of this weird vampire government. It's an awesome moment because for once Elijah is seemed powerful and god-like, instead of the usual arrogant Klaus. Who of course shows up in the middle of the Gala with Lucien, drunk as skunks.
This of course disturbs the elegant, quiet Gala but luckily Elijah calmly sends Klaus home, without any problems. Which was ultimately surprising, but it was all Klaus' plan. He and Lucien went to the Gala to distract all these vampire snobs so Freya can sneak in and steal the witch with all the dangerous visions. But this witch wasn't kidnapped, she went willing. She wants to be on the winning team, so she went to Tristan's side. But after several failed attempts, Freya finally succeeds in luring this witch back.
We find out that this gala is more of an initiation for Marcel. They think Marcel has what it takes to become one of the Stricts. To become one of these 'Stricts' Marcel has to find the vampire that stole his daylight ring and fight to get it back. Even if he finds this ring, he doesn't have a great chance against a vampire hundrerds of years older than him.
But to everyone's surprise he succeeds. He learns that the vampire that stole his ring only feeds on vampires in combat. So before he confronts his ring thief, he has Hayley bite him to infect his with her venomous wolf bite. So when the vampire bites Marcel during combat, he becomes infected with the wolf venom. He becomes weak and Marcel brings him down and steals his ring back. But Marcel refuses to kill him. He tells Tristan and the other Stricts that he won't play their games anymore, and won't kill him. Tristan kills this infected vampire instead, and is impressed with Marcel's refusal. Marcel has now proved himself to the Stricts.
At the end of this episode they all sit with the witch and hold hands to see the visions of their families'doomed prophecy. We see a bunch of evil glimpses of their destruction before the witch becomes deathly ill. We find out she was poisoned by Aurora, who is now skipping around town, a creepy smile on her face.
I loved the whole gala scene this episode. I'm not surprised Marcel proved himself, he deserves to earn everyone's respect. I'm still unsure on who the bad guy is. But I know Aurora is going to bring destruction now that she's in New Orleans.
