I forgive you, Hope. And I know that you're scared, and I know that you're sad, and that's okay. What happened this year was about hatred and ugliness that was born long before you and long before me. I need you to fight this, Hope.

Cultural References[]

  • The story of the Two Wolves is a popular 21st-century legend of unknown origin, attributed to Native Americans, that is also known as "Grandfather Tells" or "Tale Of Two Wolves". It is a story of a grandfather using a metaphor of two wolves fighting within him to explain his inner conflicts to his grandson. When his grandson asks which wolf wins, the grandfather answers whichever he chooses to feed.[3]
  • Alaric compares Klaus to Lord Voldemort, the main antagonist from Harry Potter series. Ironically, Joseph Morgan auditioned for the role of Tom Riddle in the film adaptation of Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets.[4][5]
