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!

Sadly, this is the last post on the adventure to Mystic Falls, but if you want to read more about this trip click here

After our Sippin' and Nibblin' at the Twelve Oaks it was time for dinner. My mom and I cleaned ourselves up after a day in the Georgia heat and headed over to the one and only Mystic Grill.

Although the outside looks identical to the Vampire Diaries’ Mystic Grill, the inside is not so similar. The owners did a good job trying to make it look as close as possible. First of all, they kept the logo.

They also had plaque’s dedicated to the characters, I like Alaric’s chair in the bar the best. (The lighting in there was not that good for picture taking)

At the restaurant I had a ceasar salad and my mom got the shrimp and grits. My ceasar salad was delicious. I added some chicken, which made it taste even better. The dressing had sort of a lemony taste, and there were sun dried tomatoes in the salad. The croutons were also made of cornbread. My mom loved her shrimp and grits. We were planning on ordering the salted caramel cheesecake, which we saw on the online menu and were really looking forward to having, but they didn’t have it so we ended up skipping dessert. After dinner we decided to head up to the roof to see the town while the sun was setting.

We decided to walk to the Covington graveyard and see the places they filmed there but their was a water main break so we could get in. We just walked back into the square to take more nighttime shots.

Back at the hotel we were exhausted after a long day of fun, but sad that the trip was coming to a close.

Afternoons in Georgia get hot, and my mom and I were ready to get out of the sun and check in to our bed and breakfast, but the light was just right so we snapped a couple more pictures of Mystic Falls.

We got the pictures we wanted and headed to the B&B. We picked out a place called the Twelve Oaks Bed & Breakfast, knowing that Vampire Diaries had been filmed there. This Twelve Oaks inspired the Twelve Oaks in Gone With the Wind, and was built in 1836. It was a gorgeous home that was three stories, each room decorated perfectly. We stayed in the Salvatore Brother’s Study on the first floor to follow the theme of the trip.

It still had the original shower, which took a while to figure out but was definitely a great feature to the room.

They had a beautiful formal dining room, which they filmed the very first founder’s party of 1864 in.

My mother and I decided to go on a little photoshoot so we would never forget how beautiful this house was.

There was even an old-fashion pool!

This is the view from the back of the house

Gorgeous view from the front… #Nofilter

They even had a Southern Sippin’ and Nibblin’ hour where they had delicious strawberry lemonade.

Overall it was an amazing experience and the owners/staff were so nice and we were treated great. In the morning they made us french toast stuffed with cream cheese and berries. I would definitely go here again!
