Previously on The Originals...

I guess I'll see you
in the next life.

HAYLEY: I'll be waiting
for another dance.

My mother...
you let her die.

KLAUS: Hope's taking the power
from us.

(screaming)

If he dies,
I won't just lose him...

(groans)

...I'll trigger my curse.

REBEKAH: The dark magic
is destroying Hope

from the inside out.

So how do we stop it?

There's nothing we can do.

She's my daughter.

It's been a long time since
we've shared a drink together.

You're gonna need it.

I take it Davina
didn't bring good news.

She and Freya have been holed up
with spell books all week,

searching for any last
ideas to help Hope.

They're out of options.

I don't accept that.

Look, I love that kid.

It's because I love her
that I am telling you.

There is no miracle fix here.

Now, she might've had
a little more time,

but she's about to experience
her first full moon

since she triggered
her curse.

Every witch
that we consulted is sure

that she won't
survive the night.

Then we speak with Freya.

She will perform
a binding spell.

That's the solution.

A spell that powerful
would only kill her faster.

This is terminal, Elijah.

Now we can't keep this a secret
from her any longer.

She needs to have the chance
to say good-bye.

And we both know
who needs to tell her.

ELIJAH:
He won't accept it.

MARCEL:
Make him.

She is dying, Elijah.

Niklaus.

Get in the car. You and I are
taking Hope on a little trip.

Are you out of your mind?

She can sleep on the drive.

Surely you heard Marcel.

He doesn't know anything!

Where are we going?

Hope's school
knows how to deal

with a werewolf's
first transformation.

They have a facility.

Mystic Falls?

I take it you have a plan.

I do and while I execute it,
I need you to look after her,

to-to make sure
she doesn't exert herself.

Wouldn't it be better
for you to find someone

Hope despises a
little less than me?

Perhaps quite literally
anyone else she's ever met.

How Hope feels about you
is of no consequence.

I have until the crest of
the full moon to save her life.

We've defied the inevitable
for a dozen lifetimes.

I am not about
to surrender to it now.

Please, Elijah.

You're the only one I trust.

CAROLINE:
At the Salvatore School

for the Young and Gifted,

we are big on spirit.

♪ There ain't no other way... ♪

Education is our first
priority, obviously.

We've sent students to the
Ivy League, to Silicon Valley.

Of course,
if you're looking

for a more unique
course of study,

I assure you, we are unmatched.

We believe in inclusive blending
of the species here.

So, outside of full moons,

vampires, witches and werewolves
all cohabitate peacefully.

Where do you keep
the hybrids?

In the root cellar?

Excuse me.

I just need one minute with this
very lost new janitor.

Come on, Bob.

I'll show you the toilets.

Seriously?

You're not exactly
a selling point

for this place.

Oh, because these kids
have so many other options.

I thought we made a deal about
you showing up in Mystic Falls.

That was a long time ago.

I need your help, Caroline.

Hope is dying.

She consumed
the dark magic

and now it's consuming her.

She won't survive
tonight's full moon.

She triggered her curse?

It was my fault.

Uh, I thought that
the Crescent wolves

could control
their transformations.

Not the first one.

It's a rite of passage.
Unavoidable.

Well, what do you need from me?

I need a very rare type
of witch

from the Gemini Coven.

You can't be serious.

I need your daughters, Caroline.

ELIJAH:
The diary of Stefan Salvatore.

We're not supposed to touch it,

but I practically have
the whole thing memorized.

And spoiler alert:

Dad is the villain
and you're the evil henchman.

From one very biased
perspective.

Yeah, well,

I, uh, got a second opinion.

The Mystic Falls Files

by Alaric Saltzman, Volume One.

In every story,
Dad is the big bad wolf.

(voices whispering)

(groans softly)

Hope, what is it?

What's happening?

Nothing. I'm fine.

Well, Davina said she gave you
some pills for the discomfort.

Yeah, well, you know what would
really make me feel better?

Is spending the day with,
like, anyone else.

Let's get out of here.

I know a place in town.

Does a disturbingly
decadent burger.

Let's do that.

I'm not hungry.

Fine. You can have a milk shake.

CAROLINE:
No.

No, absolutely not.

They're-they're children.

They're siphoner witches.

It's what they
were born to do.

Siphon magic from one thing...

And put it in another.

So, after they
siphon it from Hope,

what are they supposed
to do with it?

You can't just shove a demon
in a jar and put it on a shelf.

They'll put it in me.

(swallows)
That's great.

(chuckles) And then you can
practice mindful meditation

while we just cross our fingers

and hope that you don't
develop some sort of temper.

Oh, wait.

Do you remember
when you and your friends

threatened to chain me up,
drown me in cement

and drop me
in the deepest ocean?

Well, when your daughters
put the magic in me,

I need you to make good
on that threat.

I won't fight you
this time.

No, I was just
a kid back then.

I didn't know...

That was a long time ago.

I can't allow
my daughter to die.

But I promise you

I will not endanger yours.

Caroline, please.

Caroline.

I'm begging you.

If you're here to tell me that
my dad has a heart of gold,

this is probably
the worst spot,

considering that
there's a plaque inside

near the dartboard
for some woman

that he killed in
a moonstone ritual.

Take a look at that storefront
across the street

with the charcoal awning.

Piece of land used to
be our home.

Smell of it still
haunts me to this day.

The burning wood, the crushed
flowers, the berries.

Your father was incessantly
painting back in those days.

Mixing,

searching for brighter reds,
for deeper blues.

Used to wake me
in the middle of the night

just to show me the color
that he would swear

he himself had invented.

I remember the first time
that he showed me a turquoise.

It's also the first time
I smelled blood.

You see, when Mikael found
Niklaus fashioning a paintbrush

from a small branch,
he took that branch...

He struck my brother
across the face.

What did you do?

Niklaus begged me to run away
with him, but I told him

that I would never leave Rebekah
and Kol at the mercy of Mikael.

So we stayed.

And, of course,

it was a mistake.

We should've run away together,
but...

your father
couldn't go alone.

But I did swear to him
I would protect him

from that very day.

LANDON: Peanut butter blast,
whipped cream on the bottom.

Just how you like it.

Thanks, Landon.

Yeah.

Uh, this is my uncle.

Nice to meet you, Mr. Marshall.

So, Hope.

You haven't been
around much lately.

Oh, yeah, there's been
stuff back at home.

Oh. Well, I was,
I was hoping you'd be back.

I mean, you're from
New Orleans, right?

I've always wanted to go.
It's home

to some of the greatest
musicians of all time.

(ice skipping)

(boys laughing)

You should go.

No matter where you are,
there's always someone playing

a Louis Armstrong
song somewhere.

Uh, actually, there's, um,

there's music
in the square tonight.

I mean, they do it all the time,
but tonight there's this

kind of bluesy vibe and I
thought maybe if you wanted...

Oh, Landon, I-I
can't tonight.

I have a thing.

Right, yeah.

I should probably pick up
an extra shift anyway.

No, thanks, though, for asking
and for the milk shake.

Yeah. It was nice
to meet you.

And you.

The full moon doesn't crest
until later.

You could've gone with him.

Why didn't you?

Because I'm gonna be dead soon.

JOSIE:
What do we get if we say yes?

The warm feeling in your heart

that comes from helping
a friend in need.

Well, we are in need
of new cell phones.

And permission to go
to the senior solstice dance.

And, you and Dad

take the skirt-length rules
out of the dress code.

It's anti-feminist
and oppressive.

And not cute.

No to the phones.

Maybe to the dance.

And yes to defying
the patriarchy

one plaid skirt at a time.

Deal?

Deal.

Now Mr. Mikaelson
is going to explain

exactly what he needs you to do.

Very clearly and kindly,

without even a hint

of a temper or frustration.

First of all, thank you.

(screams)

Dad?

Whatever the hell's
going on here, no.

How did you know?

Every witch in our family locked
in the bell tower all week.

Creepy black veins
all over my body.

And...

it hurts, you know?

How long do I have?

In your condition...

we don't believe that
you'll be strong enough

to handle the full moon.

What's not to handle?

It's only every bone in my body
breaking all at once.

You listen to me,

your father is searching
for a cure,

even as we speak.
We will not

allow anything
to happen to you.

You understand?

Elijah,

it might be
all for the best anyway.

Why would you say that?

CONNOR: Hey, nice outfit.
That's really cute.

All right, boys,
let's roll.

(ice rattles)

Whoa-ho-ho.
I'm so sorry.

I didn't mean to slip.

That's my bad.

You guys are seven bucks short.

No, that's your tip, Kirby.

That's negative
seven bucks

for the poor service
that we received.

(boy chuckles)

(car door closes,
engine starts)

(engine revs)

Know how to drive?

Um, Mom and Declan taught me
a little in the old truck.

I think it's probably time
you drove a Bentley.

Come with me.

(grunts)

Alaric.

You can cool off down here

until I get you 1,000 miles away
from my daughters.

That would be a stop sign
approaching. That's a stop sign.

HOPE: Okay, okay, don't have
a panic attack about it.

It's not like I can kill you,
and I'm dying already, so...

Is it absolutely necessary
to destroy

this work of art in the process?

Hmm.

I know what you're
doing, you know,

with the milk shakes
and driving lessons.

Life's little
pleasures, whatever.

I'm not, like...

suicidal, if that's what
you're worried about.

You know, that's not
what I meant

when I said that dying
might be for the best.

Well,

you certainly don't seem to have
any interest in your survival.

It's not like I want to die.

I just...

don't think I was meant
to exist in the first place.

I think about all
the crazy things

that led to
me being born.

Dad lives 1,000 years,

does weird ritual to become the
only vampire who can procreate.

Mom moves from foster home
to foster home...

(sighs)

...to end up in
Mystic Falls.

When Dad got
sad and drunk...

Okay.

...had a one-nighter
with Mom,

who was basically
hate-banging him.

We don't have to...

Honestly...

Then, boom.
Loophole.

Yeah.

Miracle baby.

But can you be a miracle
and a mistake at the same time?

No one is a mistake, Hope.

This family has fought
tooth and nail

to keep you alive
from the moment

we learned of your existence.

I know.

But the universe
has been trying to kill me

since before I was born.

To reset the
balance of nature.

And I'm grateful that

you guys have fought so hard.

But I knew when I took
the power back that I might die.

It was my decision.

Turn right here.

(rock music playing)

(sighs)

Okay, so we're gonna spend

my final hours watching
Connor get to first base

with runner-up
Miss Mystic Falls?

Why do you suppose that your
friend Landon didn't fight back?

Um, I don't know, he's...
he has to keep his job.

He has to keep his job.

We, however,
have nothing to lose.

You do understand,

I could compel these idiots to
do just about anything you want.

Or you can compel them to forget
what I'm about to do.

That's not what I'm suggesting.

You cannot be reckless
with your energy.

(sighs) If I die
in jock revenge mode,

it'll be worth it.

Hope, you have to
conserve your strength.

Relax, I'll be fine.

Glace, solidatur.

Glace,
solidatur.

Glace, solidatur.

(ice cracking)

(glass shatters)

Oh!

My... my car!

Oh, my God!

What did you,
what did you do to my car?!

Every single--
what did you do to my car?!

(Connor yells)

Yeah, that felt good.

Yeah.

I'm confiscating this. Forever.

Fine. It's only for
the security of the school,

but apparently that's
a thing of the past,

since you're just inviting
Voldemort to campus.

Ric, we started this school
to protect these kids.

Hope is one of them,
and she's in trouble.

We can't just
turn our back on her.

He still clouds your judgment.

(scoffs)

What are you
talking about?

I am talking about
Klaus Mikaelson.

A cockroach of a creature
who wrought havoc

on this Earth
for 1,000 years

and can never be
stamped out, ever.

And you just want to give him
more evil power?

Caroline, I...

(sighs)

I know your intentions are good.

And I want to help Hope,

of course I do.

But we can't call another witch?

Use one of
the teachers?

Bonnie?

This is not something
that Bonnie can do.

Our girls can.

And then you can pop
a bottle of champagne

and watch him sink to the bottom
of the Atlantic. Everyone wins.

Yeah, and how many times
have we tried

to sink him to
the bottom of the ocean?

He's a willing
participant this time.

All right, fine,
let's just pretend,

for one insane moment,

that you have reason enough
to believe that that's true now.

You think that's
gonna stick?

The ocean isn't big enough
to hold him down, Care.

(crashing)

Oh, no.

Very impressive system.

Secure, I'm sure,

if you're a baby werewolf
navigating puberty.

(arrow clatters)

But I'm a little past that.

Klaus...

Alaric's right.
The ocean won't hold me.

But when I've
transferred

the Hollow's magic out of Hope,
I don't intend to drown it.

What is that?

This is the last remaining
White Oak stake.

When the power is in me,

there's only one way
to make sure it's gone for good.

Someone needs to kill me.

They fit fine.

A bit dusty, but...

Well, the previous owner
died a decade ago, so...

He chose not to warn me before
sacrificing his life, either.

Caroline...

Don't.

Why didn't you
tell me the truth?

Did you think that I wouldn't
let you go through with it?

Well, perhaps I didn't want
to know either way.

Where do you even
get a White Oak stake?

It was decades ago.

I was gonna destroy it,

but the weight of immortality
was heavier then.

Maybe we can buy you some time.

The magic in Hope
is rooted too deeply.

Tonight, when she's
trapped in that space

between human and beast,
that's when your daughters

can remove it from her.
