The Originals

Previously on "The Originals"...

Till death do us part.

She admitted it herself. Davina Claire is a murderer.

Kill a witch, you lose your place among the witches.

For what you've done, you need to be shunned.

Oh...

I hope you don't mind.

I helped myself to the Mikaelson family blood stash.

- How do you feel? - Amazing.

The Serratura creates an impenetrable boundary.

Nothing living or dead can pass through.

May the ghosts of our fallen keep you company.

Aya. Aya!

Tristan de Martel guided this organization for centuries.

He was a radical thinker, a decisive leader,

and to each of us here tonight, both mentor and friend.

He was, in a word, irreplaceable.

To Tristan de Martel.

Though we grieve his loss, I will not allow that defeat

to hamper our cause.

We will stand united in the face of this tragedy

of singular mind

and of singular heart.

To that end, I've asked our witch Ariane

to conduct an assessment.

Tell me, Ariane, when you looked

into their hearts, what did you see?

Was it loyalty or something else?

Before each of you lies a card,

a divination of your truest self.

If your intentions are pure,

you should not fear what it shows.

A loyal knight.

I owe no allegiance to you.

Uh!

I will not tolerate anyone conspiring

to use our present circumstances

as an opportunity for a power grab.

And you, Marcel Gerard,

do you seek to betray me for power, as well?

I'm hurt that you even have to ask.

These are uncertain times.

We need to be certain of each other.

Despite what Elijah Mikaelson

may have us believe, the prophecy

of his demise is all too real,

and a threat to our sire

is a threat against us.

I, for one, am committed

to ensuring our continued survival...

By whatever means necessary.

Hi. Do you have any angelica flower?

Ok. I know I've been shunned,

but you can at least look at me.

Hello. I'm in the market for some angelica.

Perhaps you've heard of it. No?

Ok. Follow-up question... Do you happen to have

any kind of comment box or complaint hotline?

Because I got a few thoughts on your customer service

that, trust me, you do not want to end up on yelp.

Josh, let's just go.

Ok. Fine, but you know what? I'm taking these.

Where the bloody hell is she?

I assume we are talking about Camille.

Just refresh my memory, Niklaus.

Was I the one who impulsively

handed her a daylight ring?

Oh, no. That's right. It was you.

She left, didn't she?

Shocking turn of events.

Yes, so why don't you go and find her?

I shall deal with the growing nightmare

of our family's potential extinction.

Yes, always the diligent defender,

despite the fact the threat has somewhat subsided,

what with Tristan de Martel now

literally sleeping with the fishes.

A darker threat remains.

Now something out there

is capable of killing us.

We should probably find it.

I'd love to.

However, I got Camille into this mess.

She left around sunrise.

My guess is that she needed some air.

I couldn't sleep.

I saw her leave from my balcony.

So, um, I was wondering,

if maybe it was ok if Hope and I

stay here for a few days.

Of course you may.

Forgive me.

Hayley, this family comes with many, many hardships,

but there is at least one benefit.

You will always have a home here.

I sincerely hope you're calling from somewhere

far, far away.

I think we both know I won't leave

until this prophecy is averted.

Somewhere out there is an elusive weapon

capable of killing an Original.

I'm calling to suggest we pool our efforts

to find it.

I don't play well with others.

Lucien's witch Alexis left her clues

in a rather cryptic puzzle.

What if I told you I had the means

to put it together?

Davina, I called, like, a billion times.

It's kind of enough to make a guy feel...

I don't know... shunned or something.

Sorry. Too soon?

Josh, I'm sorry I haven't called you back.

It's just things have been really...

Really, yeah, awful. No kidding.

The thing is, this is kind of the whole reason

you have friends, so you don't have to do

the terrible parts alone.

Whoa. Hey, should I be worried

or, like, really excited right now?

Hello, Joshua.

Ms. Claire, I assume you know who I am.

I suggest you get in. We've much to discuss.

I'll call you later, I promise.

Cami?

Damn, girl, you look amazing.

You know, I feel amazing.

Hey, 4 Tequila shots stat,

and don't be afraid to move that sweet ass.

Real nice.

She works hard, you know.

Oh, yeah?

How about you, gorgeous? You work hard, too?

Sure. As a matter of fact, right now,

it's hard work resisting the urge

to rip your throat out with my teeth.

Heh. You're gonna find an ATM,

and you're going to max out your daily limit

and leave that nice, underpaid bartender

the biggest tip she's ever seen.

Then you're gonna meet me in the alley

out back so we can have some real fun,

and turn your hat around.

You're an adult.

These are for you from the guy

at the end of the bar.

He was pretty insistent.

As you know from your own experience,

any vampire who seeks true power

will inevitably require the aid of a witch.

We Strix are no exception.

However, I have found that witches for hire

can only be trusted so far, and so...

meet the Sisters,

wayward souls with an extraordinary capacity

for magic.

Of course, when I found them, they were

nothing but orphans and outcasts

belonging nowhere and with no one

until they found a home here with us.

So the Strix have their own personal coven.

Think of them as consultants

held on retainer.

If your 9 covens are a burning candle,

what you see before you is a 5 alarm fire.

In fact, they are the only coven in the world

capable of casting this...

The spell to raise the dead.

How did you know?

About your dogged desire to bring back Kol Mikaelson?

That's what they're for.

The Sisters search the unknown and reveal to me

anything that may be of use,

for instance,

the leverage I need to make you my ally.

What do you want from me?

I'll make certain you're granted the power

to bring back your precious Kol.

In exchange, you will take a vow of fealty

and become one of my Sisters.

It's all rather straightforward, I assure you.

Each of them faced a similar choice.

That which you most wish for

is within your grasp.

The question is,

are you willing to pay the price?

Thank you for the drink.

Well, you seemed rather thirsty.

Mm.

You would've torn him apart

whether you meant to or not, probably

doing the world a favor in the process, but...

I'm a vampire now, Klaus.

Isn't that what we do?

We hunt. We feed. We kill.

We might want to keep

our voices down just a little bit.

Why? Can't we just compel anyone

to do anything we want?

Isn't that what you do all the time?
