“ After I plunge this into your heart, you will be immobilized, imprisoned in a state of raw, inescapable anguish. Time loses all meaning. It's not unlike a living hell, which I find rather fitting, given your treachery. ”
— Klaus to Rebekah

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.

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' discovery of Rebekah's treachery will destroy all those efforts. 
  • Now that Sophie is dead, there are only seven main characters left.
    • This is the first time that less than six main characters appeared in an episode. Klaus, Elijah, Rebekah, Hayley and Marcel are actually the only five main characters who have appeared in every episode to date so far, which breaks the record from Template:The Vampire Diaries up until this point. 
  • 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 takes place two days after events of Crescent City.
  • This is the 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 La Fleur, 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 Pack, in the 1990s Labonair Family. Upon learning that it was actually Céleste who cursed the the clan, and not Brynne as Sophie had previously suggested, Hayley proceeds to kidnap Céleste in order to force her to reverse it.
    • Céleste 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 Sanatorium 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.

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.

Elijah: "Good. I need a pen and paper."
