Thanks to TVLine, we now have our first look from The Originals Winter Premiere “Gonna Set Your Flag on Fire”. Plus some scoop from EP, Julie Plec! SPOILER ALERT!
Exec producer Julie Plec reveals that the latter half of Season 2 will shed new light on the Curse of the First Born, as Dalia’s threat against baby Hope is fleshed out. Meanwhile, “Little things will start to materialize that will make us realize there’s something extraordinary about [Hope],” Plec teases. Elsewhere, Klaus will “juggle keeping his daughter and his city safe”; Hayley and Jackson will embark on a “pretty special” journey; and Rebekah will adjust to life in her new (mortal!) witch body, which EP Michael Narducci assures us isn’t “necessarily” permanent. “There are plenty of flashback [opportunities] to explore what Rebekah has been doing for the past 1,000 years,” he says, giving Claire Holt fans at least the hope that they’ll see her again someday.
