Vampire Diaries Episode 20-"The Originals"

I know this is late but I figured I would get the review done for anyone who hasn't seen it or just because. This episode was the back door pilot for the new series "The Originals" that so far will star the characters of Klaus, Elijah, Rebecca and Hayley.

The episode starts off with Damon and Stefan talking about Elena and what they can do to get her to turn her feelings back on. In comes Katherine to inform the boys that Klaus is gone thanks to that little werewolf Hayley... but we are unaware how yet. We then find out that Klaus has headed to New Orleans to find a witch that according to Katherine is plotting against him.

We find Hayley in a bar looking for information on her family. There are two sisters there and one (Jane Anne) tells Hayley where to go to find what she is looking for. Instead she is trying to do a spell and Hayley is the key to it. The other sister heads out to the area with friends to get Hayley when the spell is complete.

Klaus continues to look for a witch named Jane Anne and runs into some issues because a vampire named Marcel runs the town and there are rules to follow. Seems to be some tension between the two but turns out they are friends and Klaus was Marcel's mentor. Klaus lets him know that he is looking for Jane Anne and Marcel's tells him to come with him and that it's "showtime". In a gathering by many vampires, Jane is tried and convicted for using magic. She tells Marcel "to rot in hell, monster" and then he kills her... upsetting Klaus, since he couldn't talk to her. Making Klaus a little suspicious of Marcel. Klaus goes to find her sister, Sophie. Marcel's little spies follow Klaus... not making him happy. Sophie leaves to head outback to have a moment to herself to pray for her sister. Marcel's men follow her out back to try to figure out why Klaus wanted to talk to Jane Anne. Sophie says she doesn't know and then someone hurts the men and it turns out to be Elijah.

Klaus is angry that Marcel had him followed and goes back to find him at some random dark night club of his. Marcel and Klaus have a conversation about what the city has become. When Marcel leaves, Elijah makes himself known to Klaus. Elijah ask Klaus to follow him- that he has found out what the witches have in store for him. He takes him to Sophie. Sophie tells him that she will take Marcel down and Klaus will help her. Klaus ask how? In walks Hayley. Sophie lets Klaus know she has a special gift.... knowing when a girl is pregnant! Elijah informs him that Hayley is pregnant with Klaus' child. Sophie lets him know that this is natures way of evening the plain. Klaus doesn't believe it and Elijah begs him to listen... to the heartbeats inside of Hayley... hearing his child's heartbeat. Klaus tells them to kill Hayley and the baby that he doesn't care. Elijah begs again for him to take this gift.. this chance at a family. After all the begging Klaus still tells Elijah no.

Klaus goes back to see Marcel. Marcel keeps asking what his business with the witches are and that he has rules and whats Klaus to leave "his city" alone "my home, my family, my rules" to be exact. Klaus doesn't like that to much- causing a tit-for-tat style fight about who did what when. Ending with Klaus biting one of Marcel's vampires. Leaving Klaus to say "who has the power now, my friend". 

Klaus tells Elijah that he will take on being a father, that every king needs an hire. Klaus apologize to Marcel and heals his vampire in order to get back into Marcel's good side. He tells Marcel that the quarter is still his but he would like to stay awhile if that is okay. Marcel and him hug it out. Klaus later calls Caroline back in Mystic Falls and leaves a message for her, telling her he would really like it if she was there with him. Elijah goes back to Mystic Falls to tell Rebecca that they will be moving to New Orleans as a family. Rebecca is not happy about this and tells Elijah that she will not be going with them.

Other things that happen are we meet the bartender named Camille "Cami", who will also have a role in the new series. Elijah also tells Katherine goodbye. We also get to see Damon and Stefan with Elena at the end. She challenges them to see who breaks first- her or them...
