Behind the Scenes

Leah Pipes is removed from the main cast after her character's death in the previous episode.
- Phoebe Tonkin and Danielle Campbell remain as the sole original female cast members from the original cast after the departures of Daniella Pineda, Claire Holt and Leah Pipes.
- During the fight scene between Lucien and Klaus, things got a little too real: Joseph [Morgan] accidentally elbowed Andrew in the nose sending him to the hospital for three hours to make sure it wasn’t broken. Andrew returned and shot another seven hours once back on set.
- Andrew was asked about stunt work and said it was nothing after his first acting gig… He was in a commercial for extreme vacationing in which he flew around the world doing crazy stuff. His first day he was shoved off a huge bridge in a chair and nearly passed out. On the same job an engine caught fire on the plane he was in and had to make a landing on a runway filled with fire engines.
- The vicious car wreck you see was all movie magic. The two vehicles never touched. In fact, the SUV Klaus was driving was destroyed with two forklifts repeatedly hitting it for about 90 minutes.
- In the “death” scenes for Davina: Danielle [Campbell] and Charles [Michael Davis] kept actually crying in between takes knowing these would be the last scenes they’d have together on the show.
