Episode Info:
It’s been ages since we last saw all the Mikaelsons in the same place on The Originals, but thanks to some Chambre de Chasse magic, all five siblings (plus Marcel) finally got to reunite on the astral plane — and then proceeded to immediately start sniping at each other. Ahhh, family.
Freya’s little spell kept them on ice while she and Hope (Danielle Rose Russell) worked on extracting the dark magic forcing them all apart.
The search for the keys to release them from their mental prison came complete with quite a few Hayley (Phoebe Tonkin) and Klaus (Joseph Morgan) flashbacks. We got to see her first day in the Mikaelson family home all those years ago, the day she and Klaus named their daughter, and even the day he decided to abandon her and Hope.
Oblivious to all of it was Elijah (Daniel Gillies), who spent most of his time desperately looking for a key amidst memories he could no longer remember. At least, that’s what he wanted his siblings to think. As it turns out, the spell to restore Elijah’s memories worked just fine, it was Elijah’s refusal to remember that was hindering the process. The really heartbreaking part came when everyone realized that it was actually his fear of knowing what he’d done to Hayley that was holding him back from opening that Red Door and regaining his identity.
