Trivia[]
- Antagonist: Finn Mikaelson
- Kol switches to Elijah and Klaus' side, while Finn remains loyal to their mother.
- During Finn's captivity in this episode, he tells Klaus about what really happened to their sister Freya at the hands of their aunt.
- It's revealed that Rebekah has been told of Esther's return, and she appears to have been ready to leave at any moment if Esther should find her.
- Hayley and Jackson are aware that Ansel is Klaus' father.
- Hayley discovers that her betrothal to Jackson was more than just a political match between two packs: When two Alphas are joined in marriage in a special ceremony presided over by a werewolf elder, the strength of their packs merge, making them stronger than ever. This explains why the wolves were so eager to make the match among the crescents in the 1990s.
- It is revealed that in the early days after the genesis of the werewolf species, each bloodline was distinct in that they had their own unique ability; some had enhanced strength, some had enhanced speed, some could sense enemies approaching from a distance, etc. Performing the Unification Ceremony between the Alphas of each pack would allow the trait of each Alpha's bloodline to be mystically inherited by each pack's members, and after several centuries of such marriages, all werewolves eventually possessed the same abilities.
- Hayley believes that if the Unification ritual is performed on her and Jackson, then the wolves would gain her hybrid power to turn at will, and the Crescents would no longer be dependent on Esther, Finn, and their moonlight rings.
- Hayley is the first hybrid on The Originals shown on screen to fully control her wolf transformation, as she does so to prove her point to the werewolves who believed she was no longer one of them since being turned.
- Hayley agrees to marry Jackson for the sake of her pack, although Jackson warns her that such a marriage needs to be a faithful one. If either one of them break their vows, the spell will fail.
- Davina reluctantly agrees to work with Klaus against his mother Esther, along with Kol and Marcel, in order to help Cami, who Esther has prepared to make a vessel for Rebekah.
- Rebekah snaps Elijah's neck after having discovered that he killed a dozen people at the diner where they met up, as she fears it will attract Esther.
- Klaus has Rebekah take Elijah to the place where they spent Christmas after Mikael ran the three siblings out of New Orleans in 1919.
- This house ultimately becomes a safe house for them to protect Hope from Esther and Finn.
- After Finn refuses to side with his brothers against Esther, Klaus locks him in his old coffin, placing small air holes in the lid to let him breath.
- Klaus and Hayley leave the compound to reunite with their daughter Hope for the first time since they sent her away with Rebekah.
