The Originals 1X21: The Battle of New Orleans
🕑 Added 2025-08-21 20:00:07 +0000 UTCOMG I'm dead. This episode was everything. It killed me not to watch the finale afterwards. I don't watch it for close to a week. I'm going to die.
The werewolves are caught by Marcel bringing some stones back to the Quarter. He's none to thrilled about this and decides to torture them until they tell him what Klaus is up to. He knows enough about magic to know he's up to something with these stones. Right before we ready to use a blow torch on Oliver, Hayleys betrothed (I've really gotta learn his name) breaks and tells him what he knows.
Klaus decides to bite Josh so that Davina will tell him where Marcel is. She's not pleased, but she does. When he and Elijah show up to the location, they find betrothed tied up and the room full of explosives. They were the same kind used at the bayou which makes Elijah assume Marcel did that as well. But, we manage to grab the werewolf and get out just as the bombs go off.
However, we're now stone-less. So Klaus gets the leader of the 'human' faction to bring him some. It's not that many, but as much as she can get on short notice. In order to do the spell, Genevieve claims she needs the blood of a werewolf that doesn't turn and suggests Hayley. Klaus refuses and offers his own blood.
Marcel and Co decide it's time to take back New Orleans. So they come up with a plan for Marcel to distract Klaus away, everyone else fights Elijah, and I think one of them is supposed to steal the spell book? Either way, they are on the way to the compound for the fight to end all fights.
Genevieve continues to work on the spell when we get word Marcel is on the way. Elijah and Klaus leave to deal with it. Hayley stays to keep an eye on Genevieve (who she doesn't trust- with good reason) and 'human' lady stays to 'protect' Hayley.
A zillion vampires show up at the compound, and as was the plan, Marcel draws Klaus away leaving only Elijah to deal with the rest of the vampires (it's got to be at least a hundred). At the Klaus and Marcel fight, Klaus ends up biting him in the neck. But then, he gets weak and shaky and is bleeding out because he's not healing. And Marcel runs away.
Turns out Genevieve and 'human' lady screwed everyone over. Human lady becomes a vampires, Genevieve knocks out Hayley with magic, and all hell breaks loose. She's done a spell that ties Klaus to the werewolves so they draw strength from him and he can feel all their pain (I think this is what's going on here). He's not healing and in super bad shape.
Elijah has taken on and bested all the vampires, but then the werewolves come downstairs and bite Elijah, and a fuck ton of the injured vampires that are lying on the ground. Those bites are not fatal to Elijah (but it's gonna suck for him for a couple of days), but they are to rest of the vampires.
And Hayley is dragged to the church by a bunch of the witches who are determined to make her give birth tonight and then sacrifice the baby to the ancestors. And there really isn't anyone who can help her. Klaus and Elijah are out of commission. Marcel has been bitten by a hybrid. Davina is busy taking care of a dying Josh (and being annoyed by Mikael to convince her to bring him back from the dead). The only person who can help her, I think, is Cami, but she's just a human and would be up against half a dozen vampires.
Fuck.
