Previously on "The Originals"...

I presume I have the misfortune of speaking to my mother.

I have come to heal our family.

I'd prefer you both to join me against our mother,

but I'll happily settle for one or the other.

It is time you bring Camille in.

Esther prepared your body for someone to jump into.

She was preparing you for Rebekah.

I have the baby, and we're on the run.

Esther found us.

Then she made an offer to make us all mortal again.

We mustn't let the world ever hurt her.

You're right.

Those daggers don't work on Klaus.

It's not impossible to change the dagger itself, so here.

That's a giant diamond.

It's a paragon diamond.

Use them to conduct power.

Klaus, there's something I need to tell you.

- You can tell me on the way. - Where are we going?

To see our daughter.

All right, darling. You know what to look for.

You sly old bat.

Clean up. Meet me in the cemetery.

This little beauty and I have a date with a dagger.

You're looking very dapper this evening, Kol.

Though gloves without a tailcoat.

Unusual, wouldn't you say, Klaus?

I would unless of course the gloves

are utilitarian in nature.

I didn't realize you two lovebirds

were interested in fashion.

Oh, I can take it or leave it.

Mayor Behrman on the other hand,

now his style is impeccable,

especially under present duress.

Do you know he came to me very concerned

about the rash of thefts in the city?

So I put Marcel on it.

And after a little digging, I formed a theory

as to the culprit, so we followed our suspect.

And he led us here to the mansion

of the recently deceased dowager fauline.

She was famous for her collection

of rare and priceless jewels, most notably of course

the perfect paragon diamond.

Hand it over, Kol.

- Kol! - Get us out of here!

Oh, I wouldn't bother waiting for them.

You see, those women are never leaving that house again.

Merry Christmas, brother.

Well, isn't this place rather nice?

Nik must have compelled a wine lover

to keep it up because I found a 2005 bordeaux.

Fancy a sip?

I appreciate the sentiment, Rebekah,

but I do recognize when I'm being handled with kid gloves.

How are you feeling?

Patronized.

I am here to protect you.

I know you mean to, Elijah.

And yet you found it necessary to render me unconscious

before bringing me here.

Well, you weren't yourself,

and I needed to get us out of that diner.

What happened back there?

I don't know.

Niklaus sent me to protect hope.

My job is to keep her safe.

Pwoteje sa.

Scandalum subsisto venenatis.

Impedit l'ecoulement.

It's finished, but I'm worried it's not enough

to protect Cami's body from Esther's magic.

I might know a way to distract you from your troubled mind.

You can take this seriously,

or I can lock you in a coffin like

your brother Finn if you prefer.

Oh. No. I'd prefer you to bugger off

because this spell needs time to cook in peace.

Cami doesn't have time.

Esther can jump anybody into her body right now.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, but she's not gonna jump anybody, is she?

She's gonna jump Rebekah,

who just happens to be miles away, but fair dues, Marcel.

Think I'd be a bit testy, too,

if my old ex was about to jump into my new ex.

I think that would be a big, uh...

Awkward?

I was gonna say kinky, but...

I appreciate the chivalry, Marcel,

but he'll have an easier time protecting me if he's alive.

Keep working.

What is it with you two?

It gets a bit old, plan out in me own family.

You know, Klaus, Elijah, Rebekah,

they were always a party of 3.

No room for me at the table.

There always seemed to be room for Marcel.

You know that diamond, the one that I showed you?

Mm-hmm.

Well, that was the baby version.

The one that we need to do the dagger spell,

well it has to be a lot bigger.

100 years ago, I had it in my hand.

Then Marcel ratted me out to Klaus, and they took it.

He probably bloody well kept it.

So let's steal it back.

It's a good chance to snoop.

It's like you're in my mind, Davina Claire.

You're making a mess of my werewolf sentries, Mikael.

And you're up to your old tricks.

Esther...

I missed you, wife.

Have you missed me?

As much as you've missed me, I imagine.

That would explain why you brought your lover back

from the other side without so much as a thought of me.

I will slaughter every single wolf I see

until I am taken to the dog

you saw fit to bring back from the dead.

You can stop looking for ansel.

Klaus killed him.

Klaus may not be your blood,

be he certainly has picked up a few things

from you along the way.

Do not mention the bastard son!

Resolution through violence.

You are nothing if not consistent.

Go ahead. Strike me. I imagine you've been

waiting a thousand years to do so.

Hyah!

Apparaitre apparebis.

Now that you've got that out your system,

we have things to discuss about our children.

It's all right, Elijah.

She won't break.

Everything you did was in the name of protecting her.

I'm not worried.

Is that what I think it is?

It's bonfire season, and I am reviving a family tradition,

especially since we're all going to be together.

Only because we're fleeing from one of our deranged parents,

another Mikaelson family tradition.

It's a peculiar thing

never to be tired yet forever exhausted

with the sameness of things.

Why is our family always at war?

I don't know, but being away with her

made me see things differently.

We're not so bad.

Not the monsters that our parents think we are.

Hi.

Curse on the first born?

What the bloody hell is that supposed to be?

Well, according to Finn, our sister freya

didn't die of plague.

She was taken as payment by our aunt dahlia,

who then cursed all Mikaelson first borns for eternity.

Is any of this true?

It is if we're to believe Finn,

who learned it from that bastion of truth, our mother.

Well, no wonder Finn hates us.

He lost the sister he adored and instead

got a judgy pack of siblings, who found him unbearably dull.

Great. So is there any chance of us

running into your loony aunt dahlia anytime soon?

Fable's over a thousand years old.

Dahlia's long dead.

Like Esther?

No one's going to hurt hope

because no one's going to find her.

It's enough wood, Rebekah.

You'll burn down the whole bloody state of Arkansas.

Well, we're just missing a key ingredient.

No, we're not.

Yes, we are, Nik. Back me up, Elijah.

I suspect Niklaus would rather choke on the ashes.

What are you all talking about?

Well, before we light it, we write down

our wishes for each other to burn for luck.

It was Kol's favorite part when were kids.

Further evidence as to why we should ignore it.

Hope's first bonfire season.

I like it. We're doing it.

You ditched me.

You have my fake therapist locked in that coffin.

What better way to spend my potential final hours.

Try not to think about it.

I can't help it, Marcel.

At any moment, I could cease to exist,

and the one person who can make a difference

is 10 feet away and locked in a box.

I need to talk to him.

You're not talking to Finn.

Maybe he'll listen, maybe he'll call his mom off.

It's a million to one, but it's better than doing nothing.

I said no, Cami.

Marcel, I am hours away from someone taking control of my body.

I highly suggest you avoid trying to control me

between now and then.

Here.

I'm holding a small child, Hayley.

This silly wish game will have to wait.

You write, I'll hold.

You do realize it is not I who is to be the husband

you can boss around.

You do realize I had to endure horrendous labor

and actual death birthing the child that you're holding.

Fine.

I wish you would tell Elijah

you're marrying your werewolf suitor,

at which point I will pour him a scotch

and congratulate him on the bullet he dodged.

I'm only doing this because it means so much to you,

but if it's not safe, I'm staying,

not to control you, to protect you.

He won't talk to me if you're here, Marcel,

and he's in no shape to pick a fight.

I'll be outside.

I'm not much of a cook,

but I do make a mean grilled cheese.

You're a compassionate woman Camille.

It's your fatal flaw, and it will be your downfall.

Well, that got dark fast.

Come on. Eat. You must be starving.

I will not be tempted by your beauty,

nor will I be blinded by your empathy.

You don't leave a girl much wiggle room.

I would appeal to your morals,

but those seem to be all over the map.

I'm not the one who was sleeping with one vampire

while half in love with another.

Your morality is a moving target.

Mine is not.

You believe people can change.

You're still seeking out Klaus' redemption

as if that were a thing that was even possible.

Elijah seeks it out.

Even my own mother seeks it out,

but I do not believe in redemption.

I believe in right and wrong.

I believe in good and evil.

Maybe in some comic book universe...

You don't even see it, but I'm trying to help

people like you.

I don't believe you.

That is to your peril because when I'm free

I will not stop until every single vampire

in New Orleans has ceased to exist,

and I will show no mercy to anyone

who dares stand with them.

Not even you.

Lock him back up.

Hyah!

Elijah.

Thank you.

What is it you see when you go away like that?

Things I've done, images of who I was.

Another gift from mother.

I can't turn it off.

I suppose it's her way of demonstrating

I'd be better off taking her deal.

To leave your body behind?

To start over, to live a mortal life,

have a child of my own if I choose.

Cursed as your first born if we're to believe the story.

Not if I am no longer Mikaelson blood.

See, this is the beauty of mother, Rebekah.

Sometimes, even her darkest deeds

possess a logic that's difficult to refute.

It's a lovely fantasy, elljah.

Rebekah, you and I both know what mother is capable of.

Now I do wonder if she would relent and leave us be.

Now what if all that mother needs is a victory.

Let her find it somewhere else.

Besides, she wants all 3 of us.

She has Kol, she has Finn.

Perhaps in the end, a simple majority will do.

Is this you?

I was lot better looking back then.

You wish.

What about Rebekah?

You never talk about her.

There's not much to say really.

She was always their girl.

There was one time, though, she did me a solid

back in Christmas 1914.

Doing a bit of pilfering before cocktails?

Nik stole something that belongs to me.

I'm simply taking it back.

And I'm simply going to tell Nik.

Wait!

What if I said I'm close to finishing a dagger

that would work on him?

You wouldn't dare use it.

Why? It's no more than he's done to us.

You've suffered at his hands more than anyone,

and it's not like we'd be killing him,

just giving you some time to be with Marcel.

You're entirely serious.

Haven't we both earned the right to live out of his shadow?

Are you with me, sister?

You can count me in, but do hurry downstairs.

Throw on one of Nik's jackets.

He'll notice your absence if you're late.

Hey! Look what I found.

Wonder if it will work.

Oh, bloody hell.

Come on. Let's try. Hey, Nik.

Do you think you can cram us into a selfie?

Well, Niklaus is the virtuoso of cramming his siblings

into confined spaces.

I'm so glad I traveled hundreds of miles

to visit my mentally ill brother,

only to have him insult me to my face.

Oh, come on. Just take the picture.

Hmm.

Aw. See?

I wish that it could always be like this.

If wishes were horses.

Beggars would ride.

You realize we'll have to burn it.

You want me to make a wish

for the family, Rebekah, I wish it didn't

have to be like this, but it does.

We can't risk it falling into the wrong hands.

No. This... this isn't right.

We deserve this. We've earned this.

I won't let it slip away.

I know what to do to stop Esther.

Rebekah, no.

I'm gonna take her deal, and when I do,

I'm taking her down with me.

It'll work.

She will be distracted during the spell.

She'll be vulnerable.

No. If we kill her, she body jumps.

Then stop her from jumping.

If I knew how to bloody stop her from jumping,

don't you think I would have happily murdered her ages ago?

Well, ages ago, you didn't have

a harvest girl or a Mikaelson witch.

Kol knows all of her tricks.

Are you both insane?

Hardly, Elijah. It was your idea.

You were the one who said she needed a win,

and if we get this right, then she'll have one.

And if we do it wrong, you're no longer in your own body.

Would that be the worst thing?

You were ready to do it yourself.

It was a foolish moment

and one that you sagely dissuaded me from.

Hopefully, we'll get lucky

and stop the spell before I jump.

And if we're not, you get what you always wanted.

I mean, that's what you're saying, isn't it?

You're willing to lose.

I'm willing to risk losing, yes.

Well, we need to find someone for her to jump into,

someone anonymous, someone who could disappear with hope.

Rebekah, we've been together for centuries.

If you were human...

When I'm old and wrinkly,

you can dump me back into my old body.

Nik already has a coffin he can stall me in.

But to trust Kol?

It's not about trust, Elijah.

It's about finding the proper leverage.

She's right.

Kol will do what's best for Kol.

We just have to meet his price.

Be happy to help.

In exchange for what?

From all the sneaking around today,

you're clearly in need of something.

If you want me to find a new body for Rebekah,

I want the Fauline diamond you stole from me back in 1914.

What do you plan to do with it?

Does it matter?

Well, it will matter to Klaus.

You see, I could fib here,

but I want to be on the up about it.

I need a weapon I can use to protect myself against Klaus,

and the diamond helps me make it.

It's not kill him. Simply a matter of self-defense

only to be use out of absolute necessity.

It's a fair trade, Marcel.

I get free of the whackadoodle mum,

I acquire the means by which to defend myself

against a volatile brother,

should the need arise, and, uh, well,

if all goes well, perhaps you'll let me near Davina

without bodily harm.

So should I call him back, or should you?

You are made to give Kol that diamond.

Our little brother has been plotting against me for years,

and he hasn't got a lick of it right.

I'll take my chances.

Do you know what to do?

Yes, but if it doesn't go to plan,

will you handle my body with care, please?

I may miss the old model.

If everything goes south, I'll be there to pull you out.

We just have to take Esther down before she body jumps.

I don't want all of this to have been for nothing.

You and I on the same team.

It must be Christmas.

She's asleep.

It's so quiet with Klaus and Rebekah gone.

So we didn't get to say our wishes.

Can I tell you mine?

It's a hope actually

that you'll understand what I have to tell you.

What is it?

My wolves... I think I figured out

a way to release them from the witches.

They could control their turning without the rings

and bring peace to our home

so that hope could return to us...

But there's a catch.

I have to marry Jackson.

It's, uh, a mystical ceremony and an alpha bonding ritual.

Elijah, I know that you and I haven't been close recently,

but...

You have to know that this isn't about him.

I don't love Jackson,

but at the same time, I couldn't marry him

and still be involved with you.

I don't know. I should just...

Marry him.

What?

Listen to me.

The only way that the city will be safe for hope's return

is if you have unified your people

and I have unified my own,

and Davina will eventually lead her witches,

and whatever their goal may be,

she is no enemy to your child.

Do what you need to bring your daughter home.

This is my wish for you.

Done! A per request.

Miss angelica barker.

Good cheek bones and a tummy you can bounce a quarter off.

She will be Rebekah's new host body instead of Cami.

Who's angelica barker?

One of my vampire potentials.

Had to turn her down. She was too lost.

Does she know what's about to happen to her?

It's better when they don't know, luv.

Hopefully, we won't have to use her.

Hopefully, but then my mother

is a wily and vindictive woman,

which is why I've got to ask something else of you.

You're already getting the diamond.

Which I'm thrilled about, but in order for me to help you,

I need access to my mother's hourglass,

which is in the lycee with my mother.

So?

Well, I haven't been back in a while,

and the only way she won't suspect me is if I bring back

the thing that I was sent to find.

And that thing is?

The white oak stake.

Are you out of your mind?

Kaleb!

Look. It's the only way that she's gonna trust me.

She doesn't want to kill them.

She just wants to make sure that the weapon

doesn't fall in the wrong hands.

I swear as soon as she's gone,

I'll give it right back to Klaus.

Like hell you will. Deal's off.

Kol!

Whatever grudges you hold against me,

we are doing this for the good of our family.

Do I have your word that for once you will honor that?

You have my word, Nik.

Swear on the fate of us all.

Take the stake.

I wooed her, I won her.

Took a while, but in the end, she handed it to me.

When I didn't hear from you,

I thought you might be in trouble.

Nope. No trouble.

Just hard to do espionage

when you're calling mummy all the time.

So where's Finn. Is he off playing emperor

to his merry pack of dogs?

I'm afraid Finn may have fallen

into the hands of your brothers,

but I've made a plan to assist him with that dilemma

while I continue my search for Rebekah.

Oh. Speak of the devil, and the devil will come.

Hello, sister.

Kol, it really is you.

I would know that smirk anywhere.

Hello, mother.

I believe you're offering a deal.

Kaleb will link this hourglass to Esther's.

Ours will mirror hers.

When last sand falls, Esther will try to jump her into you.

That's when I'll redirect the spell from you to Esther.

It's meant to jam the signal just long enough

to keep that kind of magic from working against anyone.

If it works.

It will work. When Rebekah attacks,

Esther won't be able to jump her into you

or herself anywhere else.

And we're sure Kaleb is on board?

He's on board. He's a thief and a liar,

but like Elijah, he doesn't give his word lightly.

You can't possibly expect me to discuss

giving up eternal life over tea.

Give me some of that red over there.

Pfft.

Well, where's the sales pitch?

I only offer what you already want.

And how do you presume to know that?

Elijah is happiest when there is order and music,

Klaus when he's the center of attention and in control,

but you are my only child capable of unfettered joy,

and you're happiest amongst humans.

I've seen you year for that life, for love.

And when am I happiest then, mother?

When you're doing as you're told.

Our wishes are aligned in this, my daughter,

mine to free you from this curse and yours to be human.

I'd be giving up everything I've ever known

for a memory of something I once was,

power for weakness, strength for frailty,

eternal life for a brief human existence.

The choice is simple.

Another thousand years of never having what you want

or a handful of years when you do.

Well, then. To the end of an era.

I'm in.

Let us begin.

It's working.

What the bloody hell is that doing here?

As each of you comes to your senses and takes my offer,

I will destroy your vampire bodies.

Mother, you said you wanted the stake to protect them.

Yes, but not in their current bodies.

Once they accept my offer, I will be righting two wrongs...

No.

Having brought this evil into the world

and having subjected my own children to it.

No. That wasn't the deal.

Stop the spell!

The spell is already done.

I prepared it to be locked in

the moment I turned over the hourglass.

Now.

Not yet.

Mother, think this through.

You gave birth to this body.

You can't destroy it.

I am only destroying its flesh.

Your beautiful soul will live on in the body of another.

I have chosen well for you, a beautiful girl, strong.

Mother!

Stop the spell.

You and your traitorous son.

Nik, I didn't know anything about it, I swear.

Oh, good. I'm glad you two boys are friends again.

I did wonder what you'd been up to in your time away.

Now I know.

Stop the blasted spell.

I'm afraid that's impossible.

Anything is possible.

- Take me instead. - Nik, no!

If only you'd taken my offer when it was still mine to give.

Unfortunately, you've left me no choice

but to make a deal with Mikael.

Mikael?

When Finn and Kol went missing, I needed a new ally.

All he wanted was the right to kill you.

Kol, I would ask you to deliver the stake to your father,

but it seems your loyalties have been compromised.

Stop the spell, Esther!

No. It's ok, Nik. I can do this.

So you're feeling murderous again.

You should know I've already chosen my next body.

Now!

Cami!

Rebekah!

- Did it work? - I have no idea.

Cami's not awake yet either.

When she's up, we need to get her out of the quarter.

She's not safe here. Somebody busted Finn out.

My mother is using Mikael to do her dirty work.

Camille?

I suddenly love that stupid name.

I couldn't stop the spell.

Please tell me that your mother's dead.

Rebekah and I took extra precautions.

Esther is exactly where she needs to be.

Why are you in such a good mood?

Remember how I said that Rebekah had done me a solid back in 1914?

Swore she hadn't told Klaus that I was taking the diamond back.

I was actually being a bit facetious.

You're here with my brother.

A word of advice.

A witch as lovely as you has no business dating Kol.

Oh, it's not really a date.

You can do better.

As you know, when the Mikaelsons arrived

in Louisiana we brought with us the tradition

of holiday bonfire season.

Now we invite you chosen few

to join us in our family's own tradition

of writing wishes for each other and burning them for lucky.

The holidays are time for celebrating family and friends.

It is especially gratifying in times

when treachery runs deep

to know you have someone you can trust.

A toast to you, my sister.

To Rebekah!

To Rebekah!

Ladies and gentlemen, I apologize for the disturbance,

but what's a Mikaelson family party

without a little squabble?

No, no! Ohh!

I've owed her one for a century.

Today, I got to repay that favor.

Oh, don't worry, luv.

Not gonna hurt me own sister.

I didn't exactly prep angelica barker either.

I prepped someone else.

What? Who?

Oh, it's a bit of a story.

You see, Klaus didn't just punish me

for stealing the diamond.

He also punished my witch friends,

locking them in the dowager Fauline cottage.

Over the decades, it's become quite a catch-all

for an assortment of odd birds of the witchy variety.

I'm sure Rebekah will be very comfortable

in the prison created by Klaus.

You didn't.

Oh, I did, and besides,

with Rebekah missing, Klaus will be occupied,

so we can finish what we started.

You swear she's safe?

Perfectly.

Seeing as this is the best day I've had

in the past two centuries, I've made a wish for you.

Close your eyes.

Hello, mother.

What have you done?

You sold me to that butcher Mikael

like I were nothing more than chattel.

Ask me what I have done.

I've done what every good son does, mother.

I've followed the example of my parents.

You taught me exactly how I should treat you.

You must be feeling a little twitchy right about now.

That's what happens when you're in transition.

No.

That's not possible.

Oh, but it is.

You see, you may have thought you were one step ahead of us,

but the truth is Rebekah was two ahead of you.

And when am I happiest then, mother?

When you're doing as you're told.

The wine.

You died with vampire blood in your system.

It's a delicious irony because as you know

you cannot be both witch and vampire.

So now you either be the thing you hate the most,

or you can be dead.

Your choice...

Which is more than you ever gave us.

Promise is a promise.

Let me out!

Someone!

Kol. Damn it!

I'm not meant to be here.

I'm Rebekah Mikaelson!

I'm Rebekah Mikaelson!

Let me out! I'm Rebekah Mikaelson!
