In this episode, we learn two things. The first, everyone one screwed up. By everyone I mean Klaus. And Haley. And Davina. And, you get the point... Secondly, we learn that the entire cast can do a mean pouting face. For an example, just re-watch every scene, or continue reading to view the rest of the screencaps. You'll see what I mean.

This season, Davina is possessing good style, but lacking good judgement. Trapping mama wolf? Not the best move. Especially on the only night she can see her daughter. Even I understand that, and I am not Reagent witch of New Orleans. Either way, Haley strikes up a deal for her freedom from Davina and the curse laid upon the pack by Dahlia.

Meanwhile, Haley's husband, and wannabe husband are worried about where she is. Controlling baby-daddy, is more worried about the baby. I am aboard all three of those ships.

Not sure how I feel about Detective Will and his relationship with Cami. First, he accuses her of being up to no good based on her family history. Then, he says she is caught up in something she doesn't understand and acts as if he suspects nothing now. Men...

Cami's pouting face is the epitome of my feelings towards Will Kinney.

After brutally murdering more witches than expected, Hayley finally makes it home just in time for a brawl with Klaus. They fight until the cutest moment in Originals history, when baby Hope begins to walk. Elijah, the peace maker, finds a solution for the issue of custody and Haley now lives in the apartment across the street with Hope and Jackson. Finally some hope for Hope!

More family drama ensues because Klaus refuses to stay out of his sisters' love lives. Good for Rebekah, she escaped, and is probably in a relationship that has lasted more that 5 minutes without Klaus around to interrupt. Poor Freya now has to live with the overprotective psycho.

Freya determines that the prophecy told by Lucian (who got impaled in the throat previously, which was pretty amazing) is correct and Rebekah, Klaus, and Elijah will all fall...
One by friend...
One by foe...
One by family...

Will baby Hope be the one to kill one of the Mikealsons? She does have unknown powers...

Your favorite family is back...

After Dahlia was vanquished at the end of season 2, the only villains challenging the remaining Mikealsons are each other. As usual, Klaus seems to be the main issue of conflict between the family and the rift between he and Elijah seems to grow larger by the second. We do, however, get to see all of the Mikealson siblings together (sans Freya) at the beginning of the episode which began with a flashback. This flashback, spread throughout the entirety of the episode, introduces what the conflict of season 3 will be: sire lines.

Our new antagonist, Lucian, is an age old vampire and "drinking buddy" of Klaus's, who comes to town warning of friction between the three sire lines: Klaus's, Rebekah's, and Elijah's. The flashback tells the story of how Klaus and Lucian met, but doesn't fully elaborate on the other sire lines besides some clips of an unknown girl.

In the Bayou, Haley is dealing with the wolf curse with Elijah's help and a team of gunmen have been trapping and killing the wolves that live in the bayou. Elijah, of course kills them and all is well - for now. When Hayley transforms into a human on the next full moon, she is being held captive by Davina, who has been threatened by her people and needs Hayley to do something for her.

Cammile, poor Cammile, is continually caught up in vampire business that she doesn't want to be a part of. Although I ship Cammi and Klaus, I agree with Cammi when she says he can't just trespass into her home. Not only does she have to deal with Klaus, but is an unknown serial killer slitting the mouths of innocent humans and she is asked to help with the case. At the end of the episode it is reveal that the killer is Lucian, which was no surprise.

On our departure day, we decided to head back to Olde Town Conyers on the way home because we knew they were setting up for filming. Sure enough they had already started setting up, and the door to the Jardin Gris was OPEN. I wasn't able to get a picture but I looked inside and it looked just like this:

So, I am guessing that they actually do film inside.

They were hanging signs everywhere and setting up tables with fake ketchup and mustard bottles.

Remember this picture from Olde Town Conyers (Day 1)?

Well, here it is on day two-

Is it just me or were those lamp poles not there before?

They had all of their spread out and ready to go for season 3 episode 3, so be on the lookout!

After going to the Wickery Bridge, we decided it was time to go to Olde Town Conyers, where they film some of The Originals. We had arrived in Conyers on a Sunday, so when we got to Olde Town Conyers, nothing was open, which made for good picture taking opportunities, but we could not go in any of the shops. We pulled in and parked on one of the side streets and the first thing that I laid my eyes on was the Jardin Gris Voodoo Shop.

It was incredible to be able to stand right in front of where they film so many things. The Jardin Gris is not an actual store, I guess they just rent it out for filming.

After walking around and looking at all the cool stores (which we couldn’t go inside), we saw a filming notice on the window of one of the shops. It said that they would be filming for The Originals the day after we left, and setting up the day we leave. My mom and I were pretty bummed that we wouldn’t get to see any filming, but we did keep walking around to see what else we could find.

Most of the shops had balconies with ornate wire railings, that made everything look like Bourbon street.

They use different street names for when they shoot The Originals, but these were not real either, they just looked cool, like something right out of New Orleans.

This building looked a lot like it could have been Rousseau's but I was never quite sure.

They also had some cool little Voodoo shops, not associated with the show, that had all kinds of different things.

This is my favorite image from that whole trip to Olde Town Conyers because it shows you the full view of the street and it really felt like I was standing in a scene in The Originals

I have a bunch more pictures to share with you, but we just walked all over the place taking pictures in Olde Town because it is just a neat little place. We went to all the places that they said the would be filming, and I recognized a few, see if you can too.
