The Originals

Previously on "The Originals"...

So I got to ask, when's this wedding?

10 days. After that, Hayley's power is your power.

The full moon won't control you anymore.

You truly believe that he is worthy of your trust?

Yes... I want to tell you a story about a beautiful baby girl.

Elijah will remain here with you.

He's been experiencing some side effects

since his ordeal as our mother's captive.

I curse you to this body,

a meaningless, lonely death.

- You know who I am. - Freya.

Tell our brothers I'll be coming to see them soon.

How does it feel, hunger so intense,

like shards of glass creeping through your veins?

How, exactly, did baby die?

She's still alive.

You and your vampires

are gonna help me find her.

Who are you?

I was wondering if you'd recognize me.

Then again, you look a bit different yourself.

I'm gonna ask you again

before I ask much less nicely.

Who are you?

Fitting I find you up here.

We used to climb into the trees

when we were planning a bit of mischief.

Never wanted mother to hear what

her little Hunin and Munin were whispering about.

Now, Finn, don't break my heart

and tell me you've forgotten me.

It can't be.

Freya.

The Originals S02E13 "The Devil is Damned"

That is just not my chin, Nik.

It was much more delicate.

The only delicate thing

about you, sister, is your ego.

When placed beside the behemoth size of yours, certainly.

Could we dispense with this

fascinating dispute for just a moment and return

to the subject of our supposed long-lost sister?

There's not much to discuss, Elijah.

Said she was Freya and then darted off into the night.

And you believed her.

Well, I met the girl in a mystical loony bin.

She could be anyone telling any lie,

but she did seem familiar somehow.

Then how is she still alive,

a question as ridiculous as its possible solutions,

given this family's annoying predilection for cheating death?

I don't know, Nik. I'm just telling you what she said.

Well, did you happen to ask

if, by some similar miracle,

our Aunt Dahlia lives, as well?

I barely had a chance to process...

Because on the list of obvious questions,

it would be nice to know if the woman who placed

a curse on the firstborns of this family

is still breathing air.

Then let me turn back time and do it again to your liking, then.

Enough, both of you.

If she is who she says, we'll find out soon enough.

For now, it remains imperative that no one learns of Hope's existence.

This has been our salvation thus far.

Unless Hayley's husband-to-be

starts flapping his gums.

Perhaps I should take preventative measures

and separate him from his head.

Jackson will do nothing to jeopardize that wedding.

Hayley's getting married.

Well, what in hell else did I miss?

Uh, why do people keep leaving

broomsticks on the porch,

seeing as I'm not exactly a "sweep while the soup is cooking" kind of gal?

Well, back in the day,

it wasn't easy getting a preacher out here.

So if you were engaged and you couldn't wait,

then the community would let your jump the broom.

Couldn't wait for what?

Oh. Ahem.

Yep. Um...

I would have been happier with

a panini press.

Ha ha ha! Just a tradition.

Yeah. I got it.

So what are you working on?

Oh, I started this for your little girl

when you lived here before.

Now that she's alive...

Figured it was time to finish it.

Um, something else.

I'm getting word from a few packs

outside of Louisiana.

They want to be here for the wedding.

They want in on the unification ritual.

I thought the ritual only affected

the powers of the wolves in our pack.

Unless they recognize me as their Alpha.

Then your power becomes their power.

You think other alphas

will step down and bow to you?

They're coming here today to do just that.

They want what you have, Hayley.

I mean, we all do.

In a couple weeks after the wedding,

you are gonna have one hell of an army

to protect your little girl.

Nik? Nik.

That was Aiden.

- Finn has Marcel. - What? Why?

I don't know, nor do I know where they are, what they're doing,

or what specifically to do about it.

This family make me want to murder people.

I see my timing is as impeccable as usual.

Oh, the traitor thinks he can just waltz in here like he's welcome.

As gracious as your apology better be,

you're still getting one hell of a slap.

Wait, wait.

I understand the irony of what I'm about to say, but I came here

because I need your help.

Think about how to undo your wicked, little body swap,

and then we can talk about help.

Look. You don't understand, Nik.

Finn has locked me in this body,

no more jumping.

He's put a curse on me, Nik. I am dying.

Hmm.

Heh. You don't believe me.

Well, you're hardly the champion of truth telling.

Of course.

Why would a brother expect his siblings to leap to his aid?

Oh, spare me the pity party, Kol.

Your recent actions merit a certain allowance for disbelief.

Look. I know what I've done,

but I won't apologize for trying to pull one over on your Bex.

You deserved it, but I don't deserve to die,

certainly not at the hands of my own family.

What kind of con are you playing?

The con I hate the most...

The truth.

He's not lying.

Even as a boy, Kol never lied

once called out on the act.

He may play dirty pool,

but he's not lying.

Nik, I was helping Marcel for Davina.

Finn has got him.

He's trying to get a secret out of him,

something he thinks Marcel knows about you.

Huh. He's right, isn't he?

Marcel doesn't know anything about anything.

Well, you better hope that that's true

because, believe me,

Finn has the means to get it out of him.

I'm here because of a spell that Dahlia cast

placing me in a deep sleep for a century,

only to then wake for a single year of life.

I've repeated this cycle for hundreds of years.

It started as a way for us to stay young

and beautiful.

She said, "if a witch can't be immortal,

this was the next best thing,"

but in time, I realized

that all her stories were paired with lies.

The way you're speaking of her,

you're saying that Dahlia is still alive.

She doesn't just live. She hunts.

I fled from her long ago

and have been running ever since.

To Dahlia, any act of betrayal

is punishable by death.

Dahlia is my cross to bear.

She has no grudge against anyone but me.

Did she ever speak to you about the curse

she placed on this family, the one that said she can take

the firstborn of every generation?

Yes, but why should that concern you?

Our siblings are vampires.

There are no firstborns for her to take.

Niklaus...

The hybrid...

He had a daughter.

Where is she?

He has her hidden.

Our mother filled my head

with the terror of what would happen

to all of us if that child had lived,

and I've been searching for her,

but she's been impossible to find.

Nothing is impossible to find, Finn.

Yep.

As powerful as you are, I found you.

I'll need wormwood and ripple weed

and a few other items.

I've come to understand a hard lesson

in our time apart.

You have to let some things die

so that others might live.
