What it’s about
Freya checks the spell that locates Klaus's enemies to discover that all of them, now free from their sire, are closing in and fast on New Orleans. All of the vampires attack the Mikaelson compound, led by a newly super-vamped Marcel. Freya is poisoned and Elijah and Kol are infected with the now-powerful Marcel’s venomous bite. Rebekah Mikaelson returns to reason with Marcel while Klaus is put on a show trial. Marcel talks of countless horrible things Klaus has done and it appears as though Rebekah has begun succumbing to her curse and switches sides against Klaus. Klaus displays no guilt or remorse for his wrongdoings and it is decided that he deserves a slow death. His sentence is to be daggered with a magical item that leaves him to suffer while paralyzed for as long as Marcel desires. In the end, it is revealed that it is all part of the Original’s plan. They were all playing along to buy time and ensure Klaus would not have been killed. With Klaus daggered and walled into part of the compound, the rest of the Mikaelsons fall unconscious. Klaus now serves as an anchor and their consciousness are transferred to a dream-like world of Freya’s creation, where they can be kept alive. Marcel and his new horde of vampires finally take back control of the entire city of New Orleans, while Vincent takes back control of the church and proclaims himself the sole regent of the coven. The alone and defeated Hayley takes the coffins containing the unconscious Elijah, Rebekah, Kol, and Freya away from the city, along with daughter Hope, to try and find cures for Freya’s poison, Rebekah’s hex, and Elijah and Kol’s apparently incurable super-original bite, and to one day bring their family back together.
