On this week on The Originals, the episode title“One Wrong Turn on Bourbon” is taken from the lyrics of the tuy nhiên Knives of New Orleans by country music artist Eric Church. It is an ambiguous tuy vậy about a man who has done something horribly wrong. The song may be interpreted as a lament of regret, or simply as a man’s admission that he has crossed a line & that is just who he is.

In this episode of The Originals, however, everyone tries to remove ambiguity và package up themselves, and each other, into neat little parcels of good or evil. Hope is all good & brimming with positive potential according to Marcel and Vincent. She is broken và dangerous according lớn Klaus & Ivy. She also wants Klaus to lớn tell her if he is a boss or a loving father.

Klaus finally reunites with his daughter

The episode begins with Hope remembering a time in her youth when she astrally projects to visit her absent father, Klaus. She discovers him in heart extraction mode, literally up to lớn his elbows in the chest of his victims. Klaus is cemented as a boss khủng in both the eyes of his daughter & in his own. In the present, Klaus arrives in New Orleans to search for Hayley. He goes lớn the Mikaelson compound & catches up with his human-witch sister Freya. He sees his daughter for the first time in 7 years. It is a brief và uncomfortable reunion, peppered with wilting flowers và an errant snake as the reunion of the Mickaelson kin causes the dark magic of The Hollow to lớn escalate.

Klaus heads off to torment Hayley’s new beau Declan. After a brief interrogation, Klaus is unsuccessful in finding a lead on Hayley’s whereabouts. She has been missing for a few days by now. Klaus is successful at seeing how the self-righteous Declan has filled in as a father figure for Hope in his absence. Klaus loses it, and Hope walks in just as he is about khổng lồ eat Declan. Oh no. Klaus straightens up và compels Declan lớn scamper off to lớn the butcher.

Marcel tries to put his crown back on

At Poppy’s wake, Marcel makes a brief speech about the late vampire killed by newbie hybrid Henry. Marcel has lost credibility within the clutch of New Orleans vampires. They are reluctant lớn have him return lớn his throne. Marcel’s long absence, lack of interest in dishing out justice on Henry, và the fact that he is now a hybrid, does not gel well with the locals. Apparently, Josh has been doing a sterling job while Marcel has been off in New York.

Josh has not lost a vampire in 7 years — who knew he had it in him. Josh is little more confident, yet doth not protest too much about Marcel coming back and taking back the heavy mantle of responsibility. At at a time when blood is raining from the sky and vipers are sliding out of fountains, who wouldn’t be happy to lớn pass back the keys to the kingdom. Marcel heads off to lớn the Bayou to bởi some justice. After initial resistance, the Crescent Pack hands Henry over for punishment. A few years bricked up in the walls of Marcel’s prison Garden should bởi vì the trick.

The witches và their love interests

Vincent, the regent witch of New Orleans, is unsettled about the blood rain, the snakes, and Mikaelsons reuniting. Freya suggests that Ivy, the Oracle of Jackson Square, may be able to lớn shed some light on the topic. Light may not be the only thing the seer can help Vincent with — wink, wink. Perhaps Freya is not really the one khổng lồ give relationship advice. One minute she is listening lớn Keelin talking about having kids together. Next, she is dumping Keelin because she can’tcommit to anyone beyond her family.

Vincent và Ivy share a seer session of swirling and burning tarot cards. It ends with Vincent having about the same information he had when he started. 1) Blood rain, dying vegetation, và snakes — indicate a plague of darkness is rolling into town. 2) Keep an eye on Hope — she could be the downfall of us all, or she could be the one to lớn save the day.

Hope has hijacked Hayley

New boy Roman, the vampire from boarding school, arrives at Hope’s window. Apparently, he feels guilty about bullying Henry (apparently) khổng lồ his death. He doesn’t mind telling off the red-head he came across when snooping around the compound.

We learn Klaus’ unhinged ex-love Aurora is contained under a sleeping spell. Hope tells Roman who she really is — a freakshow, trybrid Mikaelson. Roman tells Hope he is “rebellious and has a callow disregard for authority.” It’s a shame Roman spelled this out in dialogue rather than action.

Marcel figures out that minion Henry helped Hope kidnap Hayley. Klaus invades Hope’s mind khổng lồ discover that Hayley is cloaked & under a sleeping spell in a coffin at St Mary’s. Klaus discovers an empty coffin at the church và signs of a bloody struggle. A mystery person pulls Henry from the Garden prison, pulls his heart from his chest, và hangs his corpse from a balcony in the middle of town. (Traumatic much?)

Toads & diamonds

The age-old fairytale of Charles Perrault, Toads and Diamonds, features characters with clear-cut features. The blessed daughter has diamonds và flowers spill from her mouth. The rude daughter vomits toads và vipers when she speaks. While Hope does vomit up a viper, for the folks of The Originals, there is no clear-cut divide. Gothic characters grapple with their duality. They don’t stay on one side of the line, nor do they cross over the line completely. There are battles with internal and external conflicts of good & evil. They straddle the line.

This episode was about searching. Searching for Hayley, searching for connections, searching for The Hollow’s intentions, và searching for moral compasses. Yet, it ended with few clear discoveries.

Deep down, Hope is a teenager who wants her family back together, và that"s why it was unsurprising that she went to lớn the lengths she did lớn get everyone back in the same zip code.

Hope is going khổng lồ be livid that her plan backfired because it sure as hell looks like Hayley is in danger now. 

There"s no way Hayley"s disappearance is not going to be linked to what happened to lớn Henry. It was surprising of Marcel to lớn lock him, but rules are rules. 

No story that begins with water turning lớn blood has ever ended in triumph. I need to leave, or things are going to get worse.

Klaus

You could tell it hurt Marcel to lớn put a kid in that situation, but how else would he be able khổng lồ send the message that he can"t let things slide? 

His friendship with Hope looks set to continue, & it"s crazy to lớn imagine it started all of those years ago when Marcel was attempting to lớn take out her father.

With Henry dead và Hayley missing, the unity in the French Quarter is not going to last much longer. It"s only a matter of time before people start pointing fingers. 

A part of me thinks that Vincent was the who killed Henry & took away Hayley. He would go khổng lồ great lengths to lớn save the city, & those tarot cards scared the living daylights out of him. 

He also knows what a threat Hope is khổng lồ everyone in the world. She"s a tribrid is capable of far more tham the fraction she knows. 

Roman: Can I come in? You know I"m a vampire, right? So, I kind of need you to say it out loud. Hope: Oh, right, yeah. Come in.

I hope I"m wrong about Vincent because I love his friendship with Freya. They get each other, & it"s amazing how far they"ve come from wanting to get rid of each other. 

Did anyone really think Freya was going to be able khổng lồ leave New Orleans? Every time things are going well for her, she"s dragged right back into the thick of it.

It was heartbreaking that she called off her relationship with Keelin like that, but Freya wanted to lớn protect her. There was no way Freya could leave town with her family in such dire straits, and she felt lượt thích a burden lớn Keelin. 

Keelin is ready to take the plunge with Freya, but until the villains are at bay và order is restored, there"s no way they can keep their relationship going. 

If Keelin is out of the picture for a while, it means there"s less chance of her being hurt in the crossfire. I can get on board with that, but only if she and Freya reunite at some point.

Then there was Roman. I"m not sold on him. He was definitely lying about being sorry for the way he treated Henry at the school. 

He was walking around the house looking for answers about who Hope was, but it would not surprise me if he knew the truth all along. 

The only good thing about his appearance was that we got a shoutout about Caroline and Alaric"s daughter. Would it hurt lớn get a glimpse of them in this new timeline?

The time jump has successfully reinvigorated the series và given us a lot of new and exciting storylines, but it seems that Phoebe Tonkin got the short straw. 

If Hayley is being killed off, it"s a little rude for her lớn be missing in kích hoạt entirely leading up to her departure.

There were no reports of her filming anything else while production was underway on the early episodes of The Originals Season 5, so there"s that. 

What are your thoughts on how the new season is panning out? What will it take for the family khổng lồ return lớn New Orleans for good?
