Oh my goodness . . . if you didn’t like Esther before this episode, you certainly won’t AFTER. Geez. That woman has issues. And yet, as a mother, I completely understand some of the things she’s done in the name of protecting her children. But at the same time, woman kinda lost it when Henrik was killed by wolves. She needed some serious help back then, but instead she made the rest of her children immortal – and screwed with all their heads a great deal in the process.
Anyway . . . This episode is officially titled “Every Mother’s Son,” but it could very well be called “That One Time When Finn Grew a Backbone.” (You’ll understand, trust me.)
The episode starts with a recap of a bit of last season, and a bit of last week, as usual. This week its Klaus’s voice narrating – I could listen to him read the danged phone book – and he takes us back (again) to Elijah railing on him that the choices he’s made are what’s got him where he is. Marcel proposes that he and Elijah work together (read: Elijah takes over) to bring Gia into her new life as a vampire. We’re reminded that Oliver has pledged his loyalty to Cassther, but is reporting back to Hayley what she’s up to, and that Gia played the violin as a human. Klaus tells us (again) that he doesn’t think The Original Mother can be stopped by something as simple as death, and we’re reminded that Cassther has brought Finn (as Vincent) and Kol (as Caleb) back with her, and she’s up to something.
While some creepy musicbox music plays, Cassther appears to be putting together a feast for a small army. And then we see Hayley picking through the very same layout in the compound. Hayley jokes with Klaus that he’s compelled a chef away from a local restaurant, and he agrees he’s done it before but not this time. Hayley muses that perhaps Elijah arranged this. Elijah comes down the stairs, and admits he had nothing to do with it either! Dun dun dun. Who sent this lovely lay out of food? The silver platter cover starts to move, the three of them look concerned (Hayley jumps), and Klaus pulls off the lid, exposing three rather angry Starlings (why Starlings? You’ll find out later) and a note angrily opened by Klaus. Someone’s inviting themselves over to dinner tonight. “An invitation from our mother,” says Klaus, and everybody looks worried.
After the title screen, we’re in flashbackville. Klaus is missing at dinner-time, and Finn gives up where he is – “he’s in the woods, hiding.” It seems that Mikael was going to take little Klaus hunting later, and he’s afraid because Father gets angry with him. Esther tells him that when she’s scared, she listens to the song of the Starlings. She says that when she was a little girl, her mother taught the Starlings a song, and that since they mimic songs they hear, soon all of the Starlings began to sing the same song. When they made their home here, Esther says she brought some of those birds with her, so that every time he hears the Starlings’ song she is with him and he shouldn’t be afraid. Finn is standing out of sight, but listening. As the scene fades, Esther utters those words that have brought the Original family much love, and more pain, over the 1,000 years they’ve been alive, “Always and forever.”
Still clutching the note, Klaus turns to see Hayley flopped on a bed behind him. She says she’s glad that she never knew her mother, because they seem like nothing but trouble. Klaus seems distressed that the fight to keep their home now includes fighting his own family. Hayley – quite awesomely bluntly – reminds him that “your wretched mother and her disciples tried to put a carving knife through our baby’s heart” and volunteers to “add to the body count” which gets a wicked crooked grin from Klaus. Elijah puts the kibosh on those ideas faster than Klaus can say anything that ends in “Little Wolf” and reminds everyone that Cassie (the real Cassie) is an innocent victim in all this and wants to find out what Esther’s intentions are before she jumps into someone else. Klaus reminds him that the last time she jumped into someone and wanted to get together, she tried to kill all of her children. Elijah does his best “fine” look, and stubbornly states that they have the afternoon to work something out then. With a satisfied look, Klaus notices Hayley rolling her eyes as Elijah leaves and can’t resist a comment in the face of the different (read: AWKWARD instead of sexy) tension between his older brother and the mother of his child. And the best response Hayley can come up with? “Shut up.” (This is why I miss Rebekah! She would have had a much better comeback!)
Elijah shows up across the River at Marcel’s place. Marcel gives him crap for shirking his duties to Gia, and Elijah reminds him that Gia is “not my burden to bear,” and insists that Marcel turned her, Marcel should teach her – with Gia standing right there in the room! The normaly so polite Mr Awesome Scruff has a bit of a ‘tude this episode!!! (And I love it!) Marcel asks Elijah why he is there, then, and Elijah confesses that he’s “looking for a cooperative witch.” After bringing up the fact that Davina has taken off with Mikael on her heels (because he’s bound to her), and trying to claim he doesn’t know one, Elijah calls him out on the fact that newly-turned Gia has a daylight ring so he can’t claim he doesn’t know one. Calling Gia over, Marcel suggests that she take Elijah to meet Lenore. Elijah resists, asking Marcel if this is some kind of joke, Marcel of course says no, and Elijah appears to storm out.
Oliver is at Rousseu’s, nursing a beer and looking somewhat uncomfortable. Finncent appears and tells Oliver that he’s the person Oliver was supposed to be meeting this afternoon. Oliver says that he’s meeting Cassie and that Finncent doesn’t look much like a teenaged girl. Finncent, showing more backbone than he ever did as Finn, insists that if Oliver is talking to him, he is also talking to Cassie. Finncent then pulls out the moonlight ring Oliver has been promised as proof. Oliver slips it on his finger, and makes some snide remark about not wanting to deal with #2, to which Finncent responds with some pain-inducing magic that doubles Oliver over and makes his eyes go gold. Finncent tells Oliver that he can make an example of what happens to wolves that don’t obey Cassie, or they can start over. Oliver is only able to manage a nod, and Finncent stops. Getting up to leave as Oliver recovers, Finncent fires a parting shot, “that ring comes with a price, and you’ll begin paying for it today.” After he leaves, Oliver picks up his phone and calls . . . we don’t know who. (Assuming Hayley.)
Klaus is in dinner-planning mode, cancelling the salad course (to make things shorter) and choosing a wine. Hayley walks in and tells Klaus that turning Oliver into a double agent is paying off, because he just called to tell her that Cassther has a partner – another witch. Hayley asks Klaus why Esther hates him so much, saying that she had 6 kids, she must have had at least one maternal gene. Klaus corrects her. Esther had 7 children, and that he thinks that, at one time, Esther loved them all very much. Klaus then tells Hayley the story of a child that died before Klaus was born. He tells her that the loss of “another” child – Henrik that was killed by the neighboring werewolf pack – was what pushed Esther over the edge and made her turn all her children immortal. Klaus theorizes that that was when Esther loved them all the most, but it was her undoing, and started a chain of events that revealed a secret. That Klaus wasn’t Mikael’s. When Mikael found out Henrik’s death, he went and killed the leader of the wolf pack responsible . . . Klaus’s father. And then Esther had lost her lover, too. Hayley relates a bit to Esther here, saying that no wonder Esther is crazy, and that she’s currently going out of her mind and she only gave away Hope. Klaus tells her that some of his siblings used to tell him that Esther didn’t hate them, she hated herself for what they had become, and that they even believed that after she’d tried to kill them all. Hayley asks what he believed, and he admits he doesn’t know, he just wanted her dead. “Well, every good story needs a Wicked Witch,” Hayley says with a wink, “it’ll be all the more satisfying when we melt her.” Klaus is brought out of his melancholy a bit by that, and manages that small, sad smile that melts my heart.
Elijah and Gia are in the Quarter. Elijah is short with her, telling her to get on with leading him to this Lenore and storming off. She tells him that he’s going in the wrong direction. Elijah turns it into a “teaching moment” by giving her her first lesson. Lesson #1: DO NOT waste Mr Awesome Scruff’s time. She marches across the street, and after a few beats, Elijah follows. Inside a shop, a woman is crushing herbs in a mortar and pestle. Elijah accuses her of practicing magic in the open, but she insists she’s only making some medicine for a friend. She calls Elijah out on being an Original, and he tells her he’s got a favor to ask. She brushes him off, and he insists that he doesn’t go around asking favors of his enemies. Elijah brings up some tax thing that’s holding up some small business expansion or some such, and insinuates that he could convince them to move it along. All of a sudden she’s listening. Elijah explains that he knows of a meddlesome witch that has a habit of jumping into other bodies, and if she does so again, he’d like to know into whom she jumps. Lenore says that sounds like a branding spell, and she’ll need something that the witch put a spell on herself, and a python. Elijah says he’ll get the enchanted item, and his “partner” (Gia) will retrieve the python. Gia is not pleased. Lesson #2: Item acquisition through mind compulsion. Gia has no idea what that is, asks out loud how she’s supposed to do that, and follows out the door Elijah just vacated. Lenore goes back to her herbs, and her bell rings again. It’s Finncent. She asks if she can help him and, in his most menacing voice, he says he’s certain that she can.
Klaus is at Marcel’s, asking for a necklace that he gave the younger vampire a long time ago. He describes it as a “leather strap with a bird on the end” and Marcel remembers that Klaus gave it to him when he turned 11. Marcel rambles on about Mikael & Elijah, but finds the necklace and hands it to Klaus. (Is it in Charles Michael Davis’s contract that he has to give a speech at least once an episode? I mean, really?!) Klaus reaches into the box, and pulls out the necklace, and we’re back in Flashbackville!!!
Esther tells Little Klaus that birds are sacred to the Vikings, that’s how they find land, and it was by this method that she and Mikael found their new home here (in the New World, in what would become Mystic Falls). She dips the necklace that Marcel just gave back to Klaus in something, and then puts it around Little Klaus’s neck. She tells him that if he’s ever lost or scared, or in need of her, all he has to do is clasp the bird in his hand and she will come to him. Little Klaus asks if the other children get one, too, and she tells him that he’s the most special of all her children and that he needs to promise her that he will wear it always. (This seems like such a loving gesture . . . just don’t get too mushy on Mommy Dearest just yet. TRUST ME!) Later that night, Esther and Little Klaus are dancing around a bonfire. Esther tells him that his father may teach him to hunt, but she sill teach him how to win the heart of the “prettiest girl in the village,” when she notices that his Starling necklace has come off. The poor kid starts to panic, but Finn comes up behind him with it in his pocket. Esther wants Little Klaus to thank his brother for finding it for him, but there’s obviously already tension between the two of them. Eshter reaches up and gives Finn’s cheek a very (I stress VERY CREEPY, almost too loving, if you get my meaning) tender back-of-the-hand caresss.
And then we’re back in the present, Marcel asks if he even wants to know why Klaus is asking for this necklace back, and Klaus tells him that, no, he doesn’t want to know. Klaus thanks him for hanging on to it for so long, and leaves.
Finncent tells Cassther that he’s heard from Koleb, that he thinks he’s catching up to “the witch.” Cassther expresses regret that Koleb will miss dinner, but it is important that his identity remain a mystery to everyone else. (Wonder why . . . dun dun dun) Cassther says that this new witch that Finncent brought her is “rather stubborn” and Finncent wants to “open her up” to suggestion, but Cassther says he’s needed at dinner tonight, that Oliver will handle Lenore. Cassther wonders how her invitation was taken by her children, and Finncent says that the message was definitely received as Klaus and Elijah have been spotted all over town. Cassther warns Finncent to be on top of his game this evening and he assures her he’s done everything as she’s instructed. She says that she’d expect nothing less from him, and does that weird thing with her hand and his cheek again.
Finncent enters one of the tombs, to find Oliver with a very beaten-looking Lenore. Oliver accuses Finncent of torturing his own kind, but Finncent says that he’s only persuading her and that he’d like for Oliver to continue where he left off. Finncent wants to know what the visitors to Lenore’s shop wanted, and she’s not telling. Finncent leaves, but not before showing Oliver an array of weapons to use and turns over an hour glass, and Oliver appears to go to Lenore.
Hayley tells Klaus & Elijah that Marcel’s witch is being held captive in the Quarter, and Klaus laments that Esther is always one step ahead of them. Hayley says she’ll go to Oliver and get Lenore to do the spell but she needs to take the necklace with her. Elijah objects to her going, but Hayley counters with a you-can’t-ignore-me-for-days-and-then-act-like-you-care argument and asks the boys to trust her to get what needs to be done . . . done. Klaus hands over the necklace and Hayley starts to storm out. She doesn’t get far before Elijah tells her to wait, but he only wants to tell her that Gia holds another ingredient that Lenore needed, she needs to find the fledgling vampire, too.
Klaus and Elijah watch Hayley leave, and Klaus asks him what’s going on with the two of them. Elijah says “nothing” and then makes some comment about how Hayley is stronger now and that’s all that matters, and then he leaves too.
Gia is angry that Elijah’s lessons of the day involved getting a snake, and she’s telling Marcel how upset this is making her. Marcel asks if she successfully used mind control to get the snake, and Gia admits that no, she didn’t, she “stole the damned thing” because “Captain Condescension” didn’t bother to cover mind control in today’s lessons. Marcel asks her if she even tried, and Gia admits she didn’t because she doesn’t even know where to start. Gia asks Marcel why he’s asked Elijah to teach her, what Marcel wants from Elijah, and how she is the way he’s going to get it. He admits he has a alterior motive, in that he’s trying to give Elijah something through her – another family. Gia says she couldn’t even get her own family to care about her, how’s she gonna get Elijah to care? Marcel says the key to Elijah is . . . he can’t help trying to fix what’s broken, so Gia doesn’t need to be anything other than what she is – someone who needs his help.
Back at the compound, Klaus and Elijah are putting the finishing touches on the dinner table. Dressed to the nines, the boys look great. Klaus is uncomfortable, Mr Awesome Scruff/Captain Condescension thinks that perhaps their Mother will respect them a bit more, dressed nicely. Klaus calls Elijah a good diplomat, and then Finncent walks in. He immediately calls them out on trying to dress differently than they really are, and Klaus catches on to who Finncent really is a split second before Elijah does. When Klaus utters, “Finn,” my blood ran cold. Clearly, time has done nothing to heal old wounds between them. Finncent spreads his arms wide, and says “Let’s eat” and I wonder if Mommy Dearest is even going to bother to show up!
At the cemetery, Oliver apparently called Hayley, because she’s with him and the still tied up Lenore. She wants to release the witch, Oliver wants to maintain his double agent status with Cassie’s coven and objects. Hayley suggests that they make it look like Oliver got jumped, that Lenore was rescued by her people. Hayley seems really happy at the idea of beating Oliver up again, and Oliver asks that she leave his face alone when she does it (snicker).
Finncent smells the wine, Klaus makes some snide comment about what wine goes well with treachery (such a great line). Finncent says that tonight is to be a happy reunion, and Elijah questions him about what they are celebrating. ‘Why, my return, of course,” replies Finncent. (I’m telling you, in this one episode, Finn shows more backbone than ever before!) He’d been daggered for 900 years, and he’s really enjoying being back, wants to know what he’s missed, what Klaus and Elijah have contributed to society in those 900 years. He accuses them of cutting “a path of destruction across time” instead of doing anything productive. Klaus reminds him that he and Esther, when last they were together, tried to kill all of them, and tells him not to throw stones from glass houses (touche, Klaus!). Finncent tells the boys that Mother will sit at the head of the table, and the vacant spot across from him is reserved for another of “our clan” and they guess correctly that it is meant for Kol. Finncent says that Esther made such a good argument, that even Kol has seen the error of his ways and has accepted his new form. (And yet, he didn’t tell Mummy that Daddy is back, hmm….) Klaus challenges the fact that Finn is now mortal, and threatens him by throwing a knife at him. Finncent deflects it, and says that he thinks the carving of the meal should indeed be done by the eldest.
Oliver lies unconscious on the floor, Hayley has released Lenore. The hourglass is almost empty, and a snake has wound itself around it. Lenore asks why Hayley is apart of this fight, she isn’t a Mikaelson. Hayley says that she is one in spirit. Lenore calls her “the werewolf mother” and Hayley responds with “turned witch rescuer, apparently.” Hayley asks if Lenore will do the spell for her, and Lenore says she’d do anything for her given the way “that witch and her lackey” treated her.
Finncent seems to be having a good time at dinner, much to Klaus’s distress. Klaus wants Finn to get to the point, and Finn asks why he was daggered for so long. Klaus says it was because he was an “ever-simpering sycophant” which is pretty accurate, if you ask me. Klaus goads Finn, asking if the only reason Mother raised him, too, was so that she had someone to “wash her knickers” and Finn reacts accordingly. He claims he was cheated out of a life that was meant to be his, and turns to Elijah for justification. Mr Awesome Scruff isn’t budging, saying that 900 years and a new body hasn’t changed Finn one bit. “You see, Finn, like Father, you’ve always despised our supernatural existence,” says Elijah, and asks “where is Mother?”
And . . . there’s Mother! She walks in, at the head of the table, announcing that she’s missed them too.
Lenore is preparing (with Hayley’s help) to do the branding spell, and wanting to take it slowly and do it right, even though Hayley’s doing her best “hurry up” face. Lenore takes a moment to tell Hayley that she’s sorry Hayley lost her child, and then gets on with the spell-making. The spell is designed to mark the back of the hand of the person that Esther inhabits next. Hayley asks if Cassther and Finncent revealed to her why they are doing all this . . . Lenore responds with, “love.” “How hard did they hit you?” Hayley responds with a smirk. But, Lenore’s right, nothing “inspires such pain and cruelty” as love. As she rips out the guts of the snake and adds them to her spell work, Lenore says of Esther “her love is very, very strong.”
Klaus demands that Cassther tell him whatever it is that she wants to say, so they can end this dinner charade. Cassther makes the argument that everything she’s done to and for her children was to protect them. Klaus is surprised that she actually believes that, calls her a liar, and “utterly delusional.” She says that he needs to get over his hatred and remember all the times she “mended and healed” him, turning to Elijah to ask if he remembers a day when Klaus challenged Mikael to a duel. Apparently, Elijah came to her that day, and asked her to rescue Klaus and she did.
FLASHBACKVILLE!
Klaus is pinned, by a sword through his shoulder, to a tree, screaming in agony. Esther runs up to him, and asks him what happened. Klaus sought to challenge Mikael in order to beat him “just once” so that Mikael will see his worth as a man. Esther removes the sword, and puts a mud mixture on his wound. Apparently, Mikael said he’d take Klaus’s Starling necklace from him as the prize for Klaus’s stupidity in challenging him. Mikael knocked Klaus to the ground and threatened to cut off the necklace. Klaus grew angry and hit Mikael over and over, and even managed to cut him. Mikael’s face must have betrayed something Klaus feared when this happened, but Klaus held the necklace up and showed his father that he still had his prize. Mikael then pinned Klaus to the tree. Esther tells him that he’s a good boy, and that he did the right thing.
Back in the present, Klaus reveals to Esther that he discovered the secret of the Starling necklace. It wasn’t to keep him safe, but to keep him weak. Weak enough that he couldn’t trigger the werewolf curse (therefore revealing who his true father was), but also weak enough that Mikael never respected him. Cassther swears she only did it to protect him from himself. “You ruined me. You left me to suffer at the hands of a father that valued only strength,” Klaus says. Cassther swears she was only doing it to stop him from becoming “a beast.” Klaus looses it here (and he almost brought me to tears) saying that she lied to him, only to protect her transgression with his real father. “My whole life, I sought the approval I was denied by the man I thought was my father. You turned me into the weakling he hated,” Klaus yells. He says that all he’s ever heard from her was how she wanted to protect him (really only the secret that he wasn’t Mikael’s) from becoming a monster, but “you are the author of everything I am!” he yells. Cassther at least seems to be moved by this speech. There’s a moment where all is quiet, then Cassther keels over in her chair – caught by Elijah – and seems to be unconscious.
With the hour glass about to empty, Lenore is chanting, and Hayley is watching.
There’s a woosh, and then Elijah says “she’s gone.” Klaus goes on the attack (attacking Finncent) who brings Klaus to his knees with the same spell (and action) that nearly knocked Oliver out earlier.
The last grains of sand fall through to the bottom half of the hourglass, and Lenore seems to double over. Hayley asks her if she’s ok, and Lenore straightens and says that she is. Looking around the room like she’s never seen it before, and tells Hayley she’s “just getting my bearings” and raises her hand to her face . . . and reveals a mark on her hand that wasn’t there before. ESTHER IS NOW IN LENORE! Hayley realizes what’s happened and begins to back away. “Its you, isn’t it? Esther?” Hayley asks as it fades to black for a commercial. (Have I mentioned that I HATE commercials? Well, I do. And this is EXACTLY WHY!)
And she shall be now known as Lenorsther!
Cassie is now just Cassie, and doesn’t know where she is, or who Esther is, or much of anything really. Klaus swoops into attack, but Elijah stops him. Cassie was only a puppet, she isn’t at fault. Klaus is pissed because he thinks Esther orchestrated this entire evening just to torture them and then leave. Elijah wonders if he and Klaus weren’t the only minds Esther meant to toy with tonight, and . . .
Hayley’s phone starts ringing, and Lenorsther tells her she should answer it. Hayley manages to get out “Elijah I’m at Lenore’s shop” before Lenorsther puts a stop to it. “They’re gonna come for me,” Hayley says. “My darling, that’s been the idea all along,” is Lenorsther’s reply.
Elijah wonders to Klaus what Esther wants with Hayley. Klaus gives him some options. 1) To kill her. 2) To punish them. 3) To learn the truth about the child. 4) For any number of reasons that will no longer mean anything when he’s sent her back to Hell where she belongs.
Lenorsther is glad to finally meet Hayley, but Hayley doesn’t seem to think the feeling is mutual. (Can’t imagine why.) Lenorsther wonders if the boys have seen the light that Hayley has brought to them. She says that the promise of a child brings hope, and that children are meant to save us from the worst parts of ourselves, which makes her own story all the more tragic. Hayley says that she doesn’t pity Esther – if that’s what she’s going for. Esther tries guilt instead, saying that it is a terrible thing for a mother to fail her child, but she has something to offer Hayley. Freedom from being a hybrid. She says she has the ability to return to Hayley everything she’s lost, that she would be able to have more children, “wouldn’t that be nice?”
And then the boys march in.
Klaus tries to go straight for her, but Lenorsther blocks him with a spell that seems to infuriate him further. She says that she didn’t come here to start a war (as she throws some fire at Elijah), and Elijah tells her that everything she does is an act of war. Elijah threatens Lenorsther, but she says Hayley is free to go. Lenosther says she’s said all she wants to say to Hayley, that Hayley knows why she’s here. “I have come to heal our family, Elijah,” she says, and clearly Klaus is NOT buying what she’s selling and tells Hayley to go. With some rather impressive shows of power she says that she has healed Kol and Finn of their vampirism and wants to do the same for them. Klaus denies that he’ll ever want anything from her, and Lenorsther isn’t convinced. Blasting out all the glass of her shop, and letting in a flock of Starlings, she says that there will come a time when they come to her begging for that very thing. And POOF, she’s gone.
Klaus is pissed, complaining about Lenorsther’s use of those “wretched birds.” Elijah asks Hayley what she said. Hayley says that Lenorsther blames the boys for what happened to Hope – and to her – and Klaus hopes that Hayley wasn’t thinking of taking Lenorsther up on her offer. Hayley admits that she was tempted. And while she’s snarking at the two of them, she turns on Elijah, saying “thank you” for helping her tonight, but she’s pissed that it took her being in danger for him to even look in her direction. Hayley storms out and Klaus tells Elijah to let her go. He needs Elijah with him.
Klaus rails against their mother a bit more, claiming she made him weak. Elijah tells him, “You were never weak, Niklaus. You are, and have always been the most fierce of us all.” (And my heart breaks.) Elijah tells him, basically, that he’s not been defeated (even by Mikael) because he is strong. He protects their home, because that’s what he does. Klaus thanks him for his “wise counsel” and tells Elijah the rest of the family could learn from him, and walks away.
Gia is listening to some live music at Rousseu’s. Elijah walks in and orders a bourbon. “What? Need another python?” she asks him. With a smile, “Well, one can never have too many” is his reply (LOVE IT). Elijah asks if she’s playing tonight, and she says no. She tells him that ever since she’s become a vampire, she hasn’t been able to play and she doesn’t understand why. Elijah launches into a very sexy description of why music is different to them, as vampires. (You really need to watch that part for yourself.) He tells her that she can learn to experience the joy she felt playing music again – he can help her. Gia asks him why, and he says that he thinks if someone had taken the time to do so with him and his siblings when they were first turned, things might have turned out differently.
Over at Marcel’s there’s a feeding party going on. Gia walks in and tells Marcel what’s happened with her and Captain Condescension, and that he was right, Elijah found something in her that he wants to fix, so he’s going to help her. Marcel seems to think that Elijah is somehow going to help them all.
Finncent is upset with Lenorsther because he perceives that things went badly tonight. She says she just wanted to get them thinking. She says that people need to know that they are lost, before they come asking for help to be found. Finncent wants to know what her plan is. Lenorsther plans on “destroying everything they hold dear.” She says she’s taken the wolves from Klaus, now she intends to focus on Marcel and his vampires. She plans on laying everything to ruin, and then they will come to her to release them from their pain. And because she loves them, she’ll do it.
Wow. Talk about TWISTED!!!!
What do you think she has planned for Klaus now? Marcel? Hayley? Even Elijah? Whatever it is, it can’t be good!! And what about Koleb? Will he catch up to Davina, wherever she’s run off to? And how will that not look stalker-ish?
Guess we’ll find out a little bit more next week!!!
Oh, and by the way . . . Starlings have often been considered to be messengers in magic, not unlike the Crow. And, no, not messages from the Other Side, or messages about death. More . . . used to communicate between two people. However, Starlings usually symbolize the end of one cycle and the beginning of another, usually for the better, but I don’t think that’s what Mommy Dearest has planned!
