FAMILY IS WHO YOU FIGHT FOR — Armed with more power than ever, Vincent (guest star Yusuf Gatewood) creates an elaborate spell that allows him to take the upper hand and trap his brothers Klaus (Joseph Morgan) and Elijah (Daniel Gillies). Realizing that Kaleb (guest star Daniel Sharman) is also in trouble, Davina (Danielle Campbell) has no choice but to team up with the Originals to help. After the deadly events in the previous episode, Marcel (Charles Michael Davis) must try to calm his volatile pack of suffering vampires, while remembering his days as a solider during World War I when his leadership skills were equally brought to the test. Finally, Hayley (Phoebe Tonkin) finds herself conflicted when she learns that she and Jackson (guest star Nathan Parsons) must participate in extreme and unconventional rituals prior to their wedding, which will put them both in a dangerous position. Leah Pipes also stars. Sylvain White directed the episode written by Kyle Arrington & Diane Ademu-John.

Jackson chases after Hayley. She says some of my secrets aren't mine to tell. In the Original family, honesty can get you killed. He says we all have secrets we'd rather not say. Come back. We'll take this one step at a time. Your secrets are my secrets, your demons, my demons. You'll never have to fight them alone. I promise you that. Please.

Flashback. Marcel's men are dying. The gas. Joe says make us vampires like you. Turn us and make this fight more even. He feeds Joe his blood.
Marcel tells his people he's sorry he let them down, but the way you feel right now, I've been through it, and if you let me help you, it'll only make your stronger. We can't fall apart now. We don't feed on locals, that's our rule. We live by a code. Gia reveals that he's dying of a wolf bite. He says no, I'm not! I have a vial of Klaus' blood at home as well as blood to feed all of you. We just have to get across the river. If we feed out there, we lose our home. Let me help you get home. Bells ring. He tests the barrier. It's down. Let's go. The vampires leave the compound.
Finn says it's a shame you'll lose New Orleans. On the other hand, it hasn't offered you much fortune. Elijah says magic is a delicate craft. If you misrepresent us, your illusion falls apart. Elijah says the stag is an illusion. I killed Tatia. I hunted her down and tore her from us. Mother took the blame. If you knew, you wouldn't forgive me. Finn says admitting to it proves you are who I thought. Klaus says no, my brother is the noble stag no longer. And you failed in your representation of me. You never thought me capable of forgiveness. You never learned that the bonds of family trump everything! They are capable of allowing a monster to pardon the great sins of another. Your magic is as flawed as your perception of your own siblings.
Elijah and Klaus back in their bodies. Davina asks if Kol is okay. Klaus says I'm fine, thank you. Come with me. She says let's go. She'd been waiting all this time for his ass to wake up. Heh.
Marcel and the vamps on the street. Marcel advises his troop of new vampires in the war. We are family. Family is not determined by blood. It is determined by who you fight for and who fights for you. We are the Brotherhood of the Damned and we cannot be defeated!
