Legacies

Previously on Legacies...

Landon took a knife. Now monsters that

shouldn't exist have been coming after it ever since.

- What's Malivore? - It's a hell dimension

that consumes creatures and wipes their existence

from the collective conscience.

Malivore's gonna rise unless I stop him.

Because once I toss myself into that pit, no one at school

will remember me, including you.

This is the part where you tell me you're proud of me.

You know I'm proud of you.

Malivore doesn't want me here.

Malivore's trying to expel you.

Good luck, Clarke.

So how is the headmaster search going?

Caroline's narrowing it down.

If you have someone to help you be happy.

You send me back and I will destroy Hope Mikaelson.

Oh, crap.

Dissera Portus.

Aren't you a little short for a janitor?

It's nice to know I'm not the only one trying to hide out

on the first day of school.

Oh, no, I-I wasn't hiding.

I-I was, um, uh,

I was looking for the principal's office.

Well, you're in luck. I'm new, too,

but I'm pretty sure that's him right behind you.

Hi.

I'm Principal Saltzman.

Who are you?

- What are you doing? - Warrior two.

I thought you said yoga was karate for lazy people.

I did, but spending the summer with Mom

opened my eyes to all kinds of new experiences.

Plus, since using that ascendant thingy is off the table,

we agreed we'd stop worrying

about all that future merge crap, right?

Right.

So I'm all about the present.

I have decided to be permanently open to any opportunity

that comes my way.

This is my semester of yes.

And I am available for literally anything.

Well, this simply won't do.

Phantamogriphia Decorum.

Ah, much better.

Simple illusion spell, but appearances

can be important, don't you think, Mr. Williams?

The faculty are waiting

to meet you, Professor Vardemus.

Please.

Call me Headmaster.

Um...

Excuse me.

Hey.

Show a little respect.

This is the guy that killed Malivore.

- Oh, wow. Did not know that. - Crazy.

Yeah, man. Go ahead.

Crazy...

Hey, Landon!

Can I get your autograph?

Uh, sure.

Hi.

Hey. So you're popular now.

Of course. Why wouldn't I be?

Uh, too popular to still take me to dinner tonight?

No. We have to get the first date

out of the way sometime, right?

That was a joke. Yes. I'm excited.

Oh. Me, too. Uh,

do you know where your classes are?

Yes. On that.

Oh.

Good.

You don't need this, then. I will...

I'll see you at assembly.

- Yeah. Okay. - Yeah.

Um... Yeah.

- See you at assembly. - Oh.

- Sorry. Okay. - Could we... should we... Okay.

No more hiding, bruh.

I have to wait for the timing to be right between Lizzie and me,

and this stale blood is nasty, man.

Why'd we have to be the ones

to get rid of Dr. Saltzman's creepy skull fountain?

Just breathe through your mouth.

And, dude,

the time is now, okay?

She's having a year of yes.

So get in there, be one of those yeses.

I mean, I... I guess I could ask her on, like,

a study date or something.

Yeah. Ooh, the Old Mill.

- Why there? - Are you for real?

You never heard of "Old Mill and chill"?

Well, look, you ask her on a study date there,

I promise you she'll know what's up.

Okay.

Oh, damn. What-what are you doing?

- I breathed out of my nose. - I specifically told you

not to do that and you did that. Let's... Come on, let's go.

This school has survived a difficult year.

There were monsters and Triad,

and frankly, the headmaster you trusted to keep you safe

ended up putting you in more danger.

But this year will be different.

It's high time this place ran

with a little discipline and order.

I expect you to work harder than ever before.

To be rigorous, to push yourselves. To be perfect.

Because I believe every one of you is extraordinary.

The students in this room

have the power to literally change the world.

To whom much is given, much is required,

and I am requiring of you

to be better than humans ever could.

Because the day is coming when we

will step out of the shadows, when you

will no longer hide yourselves.

Because the future is...

...supernatural.

To that end,

I would like to award our

Salvatore Medal of Freedom

to the student who single-handedly

defeated Malivore, Mr. Landon Kirby.

There you are. Well done, young man.

You are

a blank slate, Miss Hope...

Marshall.

Parents Tom and Kathleen.

No transcripts from your last school.

I think they must've just gotten packed away or something.

Like I said, we move around a lot.

Mm-hmm.

Well, if you are gonna be here in Mystic Falls,

you have to go to school.

Well, then I guess it's a good thing I'm here, right?

Can I go now?

You know, I, uh...

I've got two daughters,

and I know when they're not telling me something.

So, you know, if there's, uh,

anything going wrong at home,

you know, if you're in any trouble and you need to talk,

just know I'm here to help, okay?

I'm fine.

Boy problems?

Uh, yeah.

He's kind of a troll.

Oh, my God, say no more.

We'll fix you up and make him jealous.

I have an extra shirt in my locker,

and I've got hair spray,

lip gloss,

and new eyeliner.

Maya.

Hope.

Thank you.

Weird question. Um,

by any chance, have you noticed a terrible smell

coming from somewhere inside the school?

I think everyone has.

Teenage boys plus monster.

That's a special combo.

All right.

Okay, seriously.

Who are you?

Ah, okay.

I'm a a vampire hunter.

And I-I, I came across a creature.

What kind of creature?

A creature that's big enough to flip over an empty bus.

It's green, it's ugly and it smells absolutely terrible,

so I'm going with a troll?

And it's hiding somewhere

- inside the school. - Uh-huh.

And how do you know that?

Because I wounded it.

It's nocturnal, so it hides out during the day.

I found a legend that says I just have to pierce it

- through the heart... - Listen, you're not doing anything.

Okay? You're just a kid.

If there's a monster in my school,

- I'm gonna take care of it. - No offense,

but, um, I've been trying to kill this thing for over a week,

and nothing's worked.

If you are a vampire hunter, then I'm sure

you've heard of Alaric Saltzman?

Yeah.

- I know what I'm doing. - Yeah.

You're very famous around here, but you're gonna need my help.

I have put kids in danger before.

And I'm not gonna make that mistake again.

Yes, of course,

we'd love to have you try out for the team.

All are welcome.

But certainly, in the, uh,
