What it’s about
As Klaus attempts to kill himself, he is interrupted by Hope and imprisoned. He hallucinates Mikael, which causes him to break free, and Cami, who stops him from hurting Hope in time for Elijah to snap his neck. Klaus awakens to find that Elijah has absorbed some of the Hollow's magic so he can say his goodbyes. Caroline holds Klaus to his promise years ago to tour New Orleans. She encourages him to say goodbye to Hope and give her closure. Marcel, Rebekah, Elijah, Freya, and Keelin reminisce about Klaus as they are joined by Kol, then Klaus himself. Klaus says his goodbyes to everyone, then to Hope separately. Rebekah is promised the cure to vampirism so she can live a human life, then says goodbye to Klaus and Elijah at a park bench where Klaus intends to stake himself. Vincent agrees to help Freya and Keelin start a family despite having declined to earlier, and Marcel tells the vampires to leave the city. Rebekah finally accepts Marcel's marriage proposal. Elijah reveals his plan to die by Klaus' side, as his life's purpose to redeem Klaus has been fulfilled. They stake each other, destroying the Hollow for good, with their ashes spreading across New Orleans.
