REBEKAH’S PAST CATCHES UP WITH HER — When Rebekah finds herself locked up in the sanatorium where she worked in 1919, she realizes a witch named Genevieve is back to seek revenge and to reveal dark secrets that would destroy Rebekah if she is exposed to them. A distraught Elijah turns to Marcel and Hayley for help when one of his decisions puts Klaus and Rebekah’s lives in danger. With time working against them, Marcel realizes he may hold valuable information that could lead them to Klaus and Rebekah, but revealing it will almost certainly result in deadly consequences.


Plot

Template:Hide/Show

Cast

Main Cast

Recurring Cast

Trivia

  • Antagonists: Rebekah (1919), Genevieve and Céleste (present).
  • Narrator: Rebekah Mikaelson.
  • Title meaning: a reference to Elijah's attempts to get his family back after the witches' attack on them, and the fact that Klaus's discovery of Rebekah's treachery will destroy all those efforts. 
  • Now that Sophie is dead, there are only seven main characters left.
  • Sophie's death has been confirmed to be permanent, [1] and as a result, Daniella Pineda is no longer credited as part of the main cast.
  • This episode take place two days after events of Crescent City.
  • This is second flashback to 1919 New Orleans in the series.
  • It's revealed that Rebekah was friends with Genevieve in 1919 and takes advantage of Genevieve. Rebekah used Genevieve to magically summon Mikael in hopes of causing Klaus to flee New Orleans, but Rebekah ended up killing Genevieve after Rebekah had second thoughts about betraying her brother and feared Genevieve would rat her out to him.
  • Céleste has Monique deliver a message to Elijah, which is given in the form of a Devinette spell, or a riddle, on his skin. The riddle is a list of the names of every witch Céleste has possessed since 1821, that'll disappear once he figures out the message. Marcel offers to do some recon work on the name Annie LeFleur, a witch who was shunned from her coven just over a year ago.
  • It's confirmed that Céleste possessed Clara Summerlin, a friend of Genevieve who Rebekah also killed, in 1919. While Clara ultimately died of influenza along with Genevieve after Rebekah purposely infected them both, Céleste managed to live on in the body of a different French Quarter witch afterward.
    • It's also revealed through Monique's Devinette spell on Elijah that Céleste also once possessed Brynne Deveraux, the witch who cursed the Crescent Wolf Clan, in the 1990s Labonair Family. Upon learning that it was actually Celeste who cursed the the clan, and not Brynne as Sophie had previously suggested, Hayley proceeds to kidnap Celeste in order to force her to reverse it.
    • Celeste is the second character to possess more than one person in either series. The first is Klaus, who has possessed both Alaric Saltzman and Tyler Lockwood.
  • Klaus finds out about Rebekah and Marcel's secret regarding their summoning of Mikael to New Orleans, and in retaliation, he planned to stab Rebekah with Papa Tunde's Blade and kill Marcel for their betrayal. However, Elijah stopped him by stealing the blade from him and using it to stab Klaus instead, giving Rebekah and Marcel enough time to flee.
    • This episode marks the fourth time Klaus is incapacitated in the series.
  • It's revealed Genevieve had a crush on Klaus in 1919 that continues on to this day.
  • The witches buried Sophie in Lafayette Cemetery and consecrated her remains in order for her to join the Ancestors and to allow the coven to draw upon her magic.
  • Elijah learns that Sophie is dead from Monique, but not that Monique herself killed her aunt. It is possible that only Monique, Céleste, Bastianna, and Genevieve know the truth about the manner of her death.
  • It's revealed the Human Faction, now led by the newly-elected Mayor of New Orleans, has a record of every supernatural death in the city, be it vampire, werewolf or witch, along with other details such as addresses and family histories. These records were moved to St. Anne's Church after the previous Mayor's death.
  • We see the Fleur-de-Lis Sanitarium for the first time.
  • Hayley knocks out Sabine (possessed by Céleste) with a rear assault using a shovel and captures her with the goal of forcing her to reverse the Crescent Curse on her pack.

The previous mayor, along with the majority of his fellow Human Faction members, were killed by Klaus and Marcel in Reigning Pain in New Orleans, leaving Father Kieran as the only survivor to rebuild the group.
  • Papa Tunde's Blade, which was turned into a dark object by Papa Tunde in Crescent City, was featured again in this episode when Genevieve pulls it from Klaus' chest and gives it to him to use against Rebekah. He is then stabbed with it again by Elijah.

Cultural References

  • "Long Way Back From Hell" is a song by Danzig released in 1990 on the album Danzig II: Lucifuge.
  • The story of New Orleans’ battle with influenza is a particularly interesting one. A port city, it saw influenza arrive by sea via merchants and sailors. New Orleans influenza epidemic was a devastating one, between October 1918 and April 1919, the city experienced a staggering 54,089 cases of influenza. Of these, 3,489 died – a case fatality rate of 6.5%, and an excess death rate of 734 per 100,000. Only Pittsburgh (806) and Philadelphia (748) - the two cities with the worst epidemics in the nation – had higher death rates.
  • Tremé is a neighborhood of the city of New Orleans. "Tremé" is often rendered as Treme, historically the neighborhood is sometimes called by its more formal French names of Faubourg Tremé; it is listed in the New Orleans City Planning Districts as Tremé / Lafitte when including the Lafitte Projects. Originally known as "Back of Town," urban planners renamed the neighborhood "Faubourg Tremé" in an effort to revitalize the historic area. A subdistrict of the Mid-City District Area, its boundaries as defined by the City Planning Commission are Esplanade Avenue to the east, North Rampart Street to the south, St. Louis Street to the west and North Broad Street to the north. It is one of the oldest neighborhoods in the city, and early in the city's history was the main neighborhood of free people of color. Historically a racially mixed neighborhood, it remains an important center of the city's African-American and Créole culture, especially the modern brass band tradition.
  • The fleur-de-lis or fleur-de-lys (plural: fleurs-de-lis) is a stylized lily (in French, fleur means flower, and lis means lily) or iris that is used as a decorative design or symbol. The fleur-de-lis has appeared on countless European coats of arms and flags over the centuries, but it is particularly associated with the French Monarchy in a historical context, and continues to appear in the arms of the King of Spain and the Grand Duke of Luxembourg and members of the House of Bourbon. It remains an enduring symbol of France that appears on French postage stamps, although it has never been adopted officially by any of the French republics. According to French historian Georges Duby, the three petals represent the medieval social classes: those who worked, those who fought, and those who prayed.
