Titled: “Voodoo in My Blood”
If you’re a history buff or a lover of backstories, you probably enjoyed this episode. The Originals writers spared no expense giving viewers the 4-1-1 on the blue orb they like to call the Hollow. Fortunately, they brought back two old friends to help shepherd the details along.
The Hollow’s biography begins in 500 AD with a tribal celebration of a baby’s birth. Only this baby turns blue, forces all the flames to extinguish, and manages to kill all the flowers by her presence alone. Even Baby Hollow is scary.
Back in the present, Hope watches as the Hollow’s jaw bones rattle around on the table in a circle of salt. Super weird, I get it, but here’s what we know: The Hollow is trying to collect four of her old bones. The jaw bone is one. Freya managed to track down the lineage of guardians who were entrusted with bones like the jaw bone. Lo and behold, it’s Tyler Lockwood’s pack. The other bones must be in Mystic Falls. And somehow, the Tunde blade is involved in this resurrection plan.
The good news is that Alaric trolls the old Lockwood Estate and finds a “creepy ass ancient finger bone.” Plus, the Lockwoods kept records of the names of other families charged to guard the remains. Well done Ric! He arranges to meet Klaus halfway to make the exchange, explaining he doesn’t want his favorite original anywhere near Mystic Falls. When Klaus is around, things tend to get a little murdery.
Unfortunately, Klaus can’t go get the creepy finger bone because he has to go with Hayley to the church to meet some witches, thanks to a summoning the ancestors sent telepathically to his daughter. Klaus sends Elijah to recruit Marcel for a bro-themed road trip culminating in a meet-up with Ric. “Perhaps it’s time to mend bridges rather than throw people off of them.” Solid burn, Klaus.
Marcel has no idea he’s been nominated to accompany Elijah. As he commands his fellow vampires to search the city for old bones (that sounds easy), Sofya comes in and starts to flirt her way back into Marcel’s good graces. Elijah metaphorically pours a bucket of ice water on the situation by waltzing into the room and informing Marcel of their pending getaway……
