Starting with Rebekah's choice to take a side in which appears to be a critical battle between Klaus and Marcel. Klaus is angry with Elijah and Rebekah for their accusations, wishing to dagger them again for a couple of centuries. Elijah is suffering from Klaus' poisonous bite with Hayley taking care of him, while he is Hallucinating and recalling a painful memory from the past. Hayley finally meets a member of her own family and starts to know a bit more about what has happened to them. Marcel has a plan to deter Klaus, a plan that he will regret later when Klaus gets really furious.

My brothers and I are the
first vampires in history.


The Originals.

Three hundred years ago,
we called New Orleans home.

I was happy here...
for a time.

Now, we've returned,
only to find a miracle.

Niklaus, the girl is carrying
your child.

And with it, a new responsibility.

I will always protect you.

You have my word on that.

But our family has many enemies.

Klaus destroyed
everything good in my life.


So, I'm gonna take away
the thing he wants most.

These threats should have united us.

Instead, Klaus has driven us apart.

Why should I help you
after what you did to Elijah?

You're my family.

Klaus will never stop
trying to control you.

What do you want?

My brother expects my loyalty'

as he has for 1,000 years,
but now, perhaps,

We time to make a different choice.

I should never have come back here.

This is the town
where 1 fell in love...

...and where love failed us.

I assume you know
who I'm talking about.


You should know, Marcel and I

are not on the best of terms
right now.

But you are an active
priest, are you not?

Ready and able to
hear my confession?

Usually, the word "willing"

falls somewhere in that sentence.

Are you even Catholic?

I've been on this earth
for 1,000 years.

I can't say for certain that
I believe in anything like a God,

but I need absolution...

...from someone, anyone.

So will you hear my confession
or not?

Bless me, Father, for I have sinned.

I am a liar, a betrayer.

I have conspired
against my own blood.

And I doubt even your God
could save me.

Have you spoken to our
good friend Marcel today?
