UNLIKELY ALLIANCES — When a dangerous run-in with a coven of vengeful witches forces Rebekah (guest star Maisie Richardson-Sellers) to align with Marcel (Charles Michael Davis), they quickly discover that the body Rebekah is currently inhabiting has a checkered past. Upon learning that Rebekah is in danger, Elijah (Daniel Gillies) seeks out a respected elder witch Josephine (guest star Meg Foster) in the hopes she might offer her assistance. Meanwhile, tensions build when Klaus (Joseph Morgan) clashes with Hayley (Phoebe Tonkin) and Jackson (guest star Nathan Parsons) over how best to protect baby Hope from Finn (Yusuf Gatewood). Elsewhere, Freya (guest star Riley Voelkel) convinces Finn to bring her to Mikael (guest star Sebastian Roche), the father she hasn’t seen in over a thousand years. Lastly, a confrontation with Freya leaves Elijah and Klaus questioning whether they can trust their long-lost sister. Chris Grismer directed the episode written by Michelle Paradise (#215). Original airdate 3/9/2015.
Previously, the wedding!
Daytime in NO. Rebekah tells Klaus enough with the family squabbling. It's awkward! Elijah says he's over the river to secure allies. Rebekah tells them to think of what's best for Hope. She hangs up. Then is in trouble....men following her. She ends up in a dead end. The men say she'll die for what she's done. Marcel saves her. He knows she's Rebekah. Picks her up and runs.
Freya and Finn. He tells her I need power. Time to channel our father again. She asks for a moment alone with Mikael first. He doesn't know I'm alive. Finn says he's a monster. He never went back to himself. She says just a few minutes. And she doesn't want to see Esther. Let her rot.
Klaus and Jackson and Hayley discussing - arguing - over plans. Hayley says Finn's body is gone and we're not finding him and Freya unless we send our best people. Jackson tells Klaus he's giving the order because Hayley asks. Don't think for a second I take orders from you.
Marcel and Rebekah. He provokes her into speaking. Says that market was bad news. Why were you there? She was looking for something to boost her magic. Elijah comes in and asks if she's alright. Rebekah says the attackers want this body, whoever she was. Marcel knows someone to ask. Elijah will visit Josephine. He warns Rebekah that this body is very vulnerable. Be careful. Marcel tells Elijah that Josephine is a cranky old bat with no love for vampires. Your charms might not work. Elijah says his charms are adaptable.
Finn and Freya with Mikael's body. He carries Esther away. She does a spell over Mikael. Wakes him.
Gia asks Elijah can't we just bring wine or coffee cake? Elijah says Josephine is a music aficionado. Gia doesn't want to play. He says you're an artist. We need to show we're a sophisticated breed. She says you'll want me in a dress, then. Yes.
Jackson and Aiden. Aiden doesn't want to hunt Finn. Jackson says search for him as a pack and you'll be fine. Klaus picks at Aiden's doubts. He says Finn will see you coming if you approach en masse. Be strategic. Move quietly. I'll take care of the rest.
Marcel and Rebekah. She says I didn't want to see you when I'm not myself. And I might want to kiss you. He asks did you? No. really? 100%. The seer arrives. Marcel pays him. Says he found the girl on the streets with her memory wiped clean. Seer will get to work.
Mikael and Freya. He doesn't recognize her. Says she lies. She brings up the name of his sword. You christened that sword with goat's blood and went to war. I never saw you again. She says I was taken by Dahlia. Say you believe me? He does. takes her in his arms. Beautiful Freya, my daughter.
Jackson brings Hayley a grilled cheese sandwich. She just put Hope down to sleep. She says I've barely seen you. He says he doesn't want her to feel obligated. She says this isn't one. Are you talking about sex? He says the ritual worked, but we still have to live as husband and wife. She says let's just put on some Marvin Gaye, light some candles....Hope cries. Or I could feed the baby. LOL.
Seer tells Marcel and Rebekah to drink the tea. Then he reads the leaves. Last year, a witch Eva Sinclair was stealing children to take their power. You're a murderer and psychopath. Rebekah starts Having a reaction. Marcel tells her to breathe, you're having a panic attack. Marcel tells the seer that she isn't who he thinks she is. Seer breaks Marcel's neck. Rebekah has been drugged. She passes out. The seer says no way was he going to allow Eva back out in the world, not when my son could be next. Damn Kol for choosing this body!
Elijah and Gia arrive to the house. Gia plays for Josephine. She says you're as calculating as I've heard, Mr. Mikaelson. Having your companion play the exact piece I once played to great acclaim. She doesn't want to chat with him. You are all the same. Liars. Monsters wearing the skins of humans. Good day to you both.
Gypsum weed. Hallucinations will get worse. And then the pain will start. My name is Rebekah Mikaelson and I know the antidote!
Gia insults Josephine. Says I hate Beethoven. Josephine asks what she likes. Gia plays Jazz. Josephine says I once almost eloped with a jazz musician. She's pleased with Gia's candor. And agrees to finally hear Elijah out.
Aiden comes face to face with Mikael. Who has ripped the heart out of one of the wolves. Freya says leave him. We have important matters to attend to. They disappear.
Elijah presents his proposal. Leave this one witch to me. I'll find the remaining witches and deliver them safely back to you. Eva Sinclair is powerful. Josephine wants someone equally powerful in return. The witch that Finn is in. How you expel your brother is up to you. Elijah says consider it done.
Klaus calls for Finn in the cemetery. Come out! I know you're here. Finn says hello. Klaus says such a pedestrian greeting. Pity those will be your last words. Of course, Klaus didn't pick up the phone when Elijah tried to call about the deal.
Finn says your hubris truly knows no bounds. you attack a witch in the very place the ancestors call home. He blasts fire at Klaus. Who avoids it. Then Finn flings a fence into Klaus. Klaus flings a post into Finn. Elijah stops him from the kill. I need him alive. Klaus says stand aside.
Marcel wakes. Rebekah was getting bored, lol. She stops him from attacking the seer. He's just a parent trying to protect his child. Marcel was truly happy she was with Hope. She says I was happy, relieved, that you and Nik had made your peace. He's always been moved by loyalty. As have I. She thanks him for giving a damn.
Elijah keeps trying to convince Klaus of the alliance. Klaus says he has no interest in a deal with a witch. Freya says you should. It can be quite beneficial. Finn pleads with her to help him. She does a spell on Finn. He says who are you? She says sleep. Klaus asks, What did you do? Finn is now safe from you. If you two can stop arguing, perhaps you'll allow your older sister to offer you a deal. I think she cast Finn out of the witch's body!
Klaus says what could you possibly offer us? Freya says I speak the truth. The threat to Hope came from Finn, not me. Our mother destroyed him, like she did you, me, everything she touched. Klaus says we know nothing of you. She shows them her memory of Dahlia taking her. She says Dahlia will come for Hope and she has the power to kill anyone unless we kill her first. You have no idea what it took to escape her or what it cost to do so. I've sent Father to procure items I need. Klaus doesn't want to accept this. Elijah agrees to hear her out. He says I accept your identity, but that doesn't mean I trust you. She says I look forward to earning your trust.
Hope won't stop crying. Hayley's getting frustrated. Jackson takes Hope. Says Aiden is back. We lost one. Mikael got him. Jackson says Aiden played it right. Kept them scattered. My way would've been a slaughter. Hope quiets. He lays her in her crib. Hayley takes his hand. They kiss. Then go into the bedroom. She rolls on top and removes her shirt.
Rebekah and Marcel looking at Eva's record. Marcel says it's good you're in her body instead of Eva. Rebekah says I still don't have her consent. He says it makes sense why you won't kiss me. She says she doesn't want to. uh huh. Keep telling yourself that.
Hayley tells Klaus you can thank Jackson for the quiet. He tells her Finn is no longer a problem. But my father is on the loose. I need your pack to find him. She says no. You won't use the pack to settle your old scores. If Mikael comes here, the pack will protect Hope, but that's it. Klaus says if they don't fight on my side, they won't remain alive at all. She says try to use Hope to manipulate me again and it'll be the last you see of either of us. Yeah! Tell him, girl!
Klaus continues to be his own worst enemy. Sigh.
Elijah and Gia discuss. You got your man. She says you didn't thank me. He says nice job, Gia. Really appreciate the help. She asks if everything is always 10 steps ahead of the game with you? He says your opponent often needs to think they're winning until they're not. She says I told you, you needed a woman to mess things up for you. She asks him to help her out of this dress. The zipper is stuck. He stands, does it, and kisses her neck. She turns and kisses his lips.
Hayley and Jackson on the bed with Hope between them.
Rebekah asleep. Marcel puts a blanket over her.
Klaus at a bar with Aiden. Your pack is cured. Your pack is at peace, and yet Jackson takes his leadership for granted. You need a new leader. Someone who can lead the pack into a new future. Someone like you. I can help you become the leader your pack deserves. Aiden asks what's in it for you? Klaus says swear your pack will protect my daughter. That's all that matters to me. Think about it and let me know your decision.
Rebekah wakes? Wanders. Finds 2 teens making out. Eva slashes the neck of the boy and steals the power from the young witch.
Next ep - Eva causing trouble. Dahlia coming to town.
