Episode 6:
We're back! Silly scheduling putting a rerun last week.
Vincent has a crime board for tracing The Hollow. 1953, 1992. Why always 4 locations? Elijah arrives. What do you want? Can we pretend to be civilized? Vincent says We're supposed to be civil? Does Marcel know that? I can't find him. Elijah says invite me in. Vincent asks where Marcel is? Elijah says detained until we can be sure he's not under this thing's influence. So you have a plan. A festive one. Vincent invites him in to see what he's up against.
Hayley's not happy Klaus is throwing a party. Klaus says the fake party is to celebrate the truce. To weed out members for The Hollow. Hayley says Hope is with Mary. She's looking for Freya.
Elijah looking at the murder board. Vincent says if you know what you're looking for, it's always The Hollow, and always in a pattern of 4. It's a ghost. Elijah thinks there has to be someone that can speak to this thing's strengths and weaknesses. Help me find them. I'm counting on you.
Freya and Kellin at the bar. Tells her about the party. Hayley arrives.
Josh's place. The chick is there. He says normal people knock. She's focused on event planning. No one's seen Marcel in over 24 hours. Josh says he's locked in a dungeon. She says I'm your plus one. He wasn't going to go. She says this might be our one chance to get Marcel out. I'll deal with Klaus, you find Marcel, or I'll reconsider letting you live.
Freya and Hayley. Hayley tells her about the man that killed her parents. I know where they were killed. I hoped you could do a reading. Freya says violent deaths have a specific energy. you might not like it. Hayley doesn't think there's a choice.
Elijah says you've outdone yourself. Klaus agrees. Too bad these linens will soon be covered with blood. Elijah admonishes him. Klaus says I'm a creature of bloodshed. They argue about how to deal with the threats. Tonight is about subterfuge, not killing. Elijah pleads to let the sins be his, not Klaus'.
**Seeing Klaus with Hope really has Elijah committed to Klaus's redemption. More fervently than he's ever done over 1000 years, really, as he's willing to take the world on his shoulders as long as Klaus's soul is saved for the sake of his daughter.
Music and the party in full swing. Elijah greeting entrants.
Klaus visits Marcel. Marcel tells him to go straight to Hell. Klaus has the Tunde blade. I can use it at my leisure. Marcel says use it or go back to your stupid party. Klaus is happy he can hear the party. Freya assured it. Also assured he's invisible to anyone outside their bloodline. There are people that care that would see you free. Josh. Vincent. Sophia. Tell me about her. Marcel says don't worry about her. She's a mercenary. It's just business, with some pleasure. Klaus looks forward to meeting her.
Elijah addresses the guests. tonight we celebrate an alliance between our family and Marcel Gerard. Unfortunately, as is his fashion, he's unfashionably late. Let's raise a glass to New Orleans. Klaus toasts. Our stay is a brief one. Grievances in the past. To new friendships. Cheers.
Josh and Vincent chatting about Marcel. Got a plan? Vincent is shaking hands with everyone for a reason.
Sophia brought a weapon for her witch. The Hollow will have Klaus. Don't worry about it.
Vincent tells Klaus it was a nice speech, but I don't think anyone bought it. Klaus tells him to go back to figuring out who's working with The Hollow. Klaus will continue to play host.
Josh looking around the house. Looking for a secret door.
Freya and Hayley in the woods. Enter a house. It's a wreck. Positive this'll work? Freya can feel the energy. It'll work. Are you sure you want to? Hayley always wondered what her parents were like, what they thought of me. If this can help us fight the thing that came after my daughter, let's get it over with.
Klaus puts the blade in a safe. impatient with Vincent. Vincent was reading all the guests. He can put the energy in the deck of cards and it'll help find their culprit.
Freya chants. Hayley gets flashes of memories. Sees their deaths. One of them dropped something below the floor. She punches through for it. A storage key.
Vincent works the Tarot cards. They'll help us find the common clue. Look at the details. The common thread. Snakes. Vincent will see someone in the presence of a snake. We find them, we find the person allied with The Hollow. Klaus says by all means, let's find the viper in our midst.
**Sophia doesn't want Marcel harmed, but what does she get out of working with the witch for The Hollow? Can't only be money.
**Was Marcel truthful about it being only business with benefits? Doesn't seem to be that for her. And he seems to like her company. It's not what he had with Rebekah, but that doesn't mean he's without caring.....
Storage unit. Hayley can't open it. Sealed with a spell. freya gets past it. Open the door. Family stuff is in here. Hayley wants to do this part alone. She found a family photo.
Vincent searching for the enemy.
Elijah notes Klaus is confident. Klaus believe Vincent will get it done. Besides, he knows if it doesn't work we'll be forced to kill everyone here.
Vincent sees the witch holding a snake. Signals to Klaus and Elijah. Elijah reminds him remember the deal we made. So Klaus will chat with Sophia instead.
Freya arrives at the party. Sees Kellin having a good time.
Klaus meets Sophia. I'm so glad the lack of invitation didn't keep you from attending. She asks where is Marcel? He didn't come home last night. Klaus tells her to not be so clingy.
Elijah requested a private audience with the witch man. Who brought 2 goons. Vincent calls him the high priest of The Hollow. Witch says when you severed the link with the Ancestors, you allowed it to come back. taunts Vincent. Elijah takes care of the goons. Then tells the witches to stop attacking each other. Tells Vincent to leave. Then the witch to sit. Let's start again.
Klaus and Sophia dancing. She asks again where Marcel is. He mocks the thorns on her wrist. She tells him about the thorn bracelet she's wearing. He threatens her. She says try it and the Hollow's followers will make sure you and Elijah will be dead tonight. He asks how much of this rose bush is there? She says enough to kill all of you ten times over. Give me Marcel, or die tonight.
**She's definitely needing Marcel for more than money. What's she about?
Hayley goes through baby toys, searching. finds a teddy bear. Feels something in it. A jaw bone?
Sophia has the thorns to Klaus' neck. He's calm. Offers a bargain. Hand over your weapon, expose the Hollow's allies, and I make sure you leave unscathed. What about Marcel? We release him after the party.
Vincent and Freya. He says we've got nothing to talk about. She thanks him for helping her family. He's helping Hope. Only cares about the kids. Freya knows why he hates her. I did what I had to do. Have all your battles been free of casualties? Congratulations, it must be nice. Everything comes at a cost. At the end of the day, we only answer to ourselves. He gets a text. He has to go. Kellin comes over.
Elijah says tell me what it wants. Witch says it needs to feed. Children are appetizers. But it needs power. Marcel will do nicely. In the meantime, I'll take Vincent as a show of good faith. The Hollow is rather angry with him. Elijah says the covens would declare war on my family. Witch says that's my terms. Vincent now, Marcel later, and your family will be spared. Do we have a deal?
**Elijah, it's not worth it. Hayley told you we have to be better. Don't forsake the one person in New Orleans who understands The Hollow even close to how your enemies do.
Outside the building. Klaus and Vincent approach 2 of the Hollow's goons. Klaus takes the weapons. Vincent says I was you, once. It took away my family, my wife, left me with nothing. I hate vampires, but I'm willing to stand beside him against your master. That right there should show you how bad that master is. Klaus takes it as a compliment. Then hurts the men. forsake the Hollow or die now.
Elijah doesn't believe the bargain. I grew up on a Viking farm, I'm familiar with the scent of fertilizer. For the last time - What does it want? Witch says it wants to become flesh. My offer was a courtesy. It will take what it wants, Vincent and Marcel regardless. But if you stand in our way, we'll destroy your family. We came here tonight for one thing and we already have it! The Hollow will not be stopped. Elijah takes him to the people and exposes him as an errand boy of The Hollow. Dangles him over the balcony. My family will do everything in it's power to remove this scourge from New Orleans. I recommend you do the same. He rips the witch's heart out. Klaus doesn't look happy. Elijah looks both guilty and defiant.
**Another brother conversation coming. Elijah did say he'd deal with any threats tonight. Of course, his demonstration was usually what Klaus does for the public.
Sophia sits. Klaus meets her. She asks for Marcel. We had a deal. Where is he?! Klaus says tucked away safe and sound until we've dealt with the Hollow. Do you hate me on general principle, or for something specific. She tells a story about a wedding 500 years ago. I went to get more wine and returned to you feeding on my sister. Wedding party and my entire family all dead. I hid and watched what you did. He's terribly sorry, but he's glad he confiscated her weapons. She tells him to be careful. I've hated you a lot longer than I've known Marcel.
Vincent says hell of a show, Elijah. Elijah did what he had to. And your quite welcome. Dominic wanted you dead. Our alliance is essential. I don't bargain and I'm done with reason. What about you? Vincent rejects his hand and leaves.
Freya apologizes to Kellin for Elijah's violence. Kellin wasn't disturbed. Tells freya she can make her own life. One thing about Elijah killing that guy, it cut the party short. I was just starting to have fun. Freya suggests a jazz bar.
Sophia in Josh's loft again. He calls her creepy. Again. She wants what he found. He got in the dungeon. Saw nothing. Smelled sandlewood. Davina taught me that means something's cloaked. Marcel is down there.
Elijah asks if he got all the weapons. Klaus isn't sure. Can't ask Dominic because of you. Elijah asserts to let me handle it. Because of Hope. Tells him this thing wants to be reborn. Hayley says it's looking for something. 4 somethings. My parents hid this. Who has the other 3? Elijah says Dominic. He said he found something here. Klaus goes to the safe. There was one bone. A dead witch needs their body to come back.
Opens the safe.
The Hollow minions chant over the body. Give him the blade. Dominic. He's alive.
Next ep - Freya vs Dominic. Vincent asks Elijah if he remembers being human. No. Marcel seems to be out again. Klaus looks to be trying to destroy the jawbone so The Hollow can't get it.
