The idea came from me being an absolute Damon Lindelof fangirl, showrunner Julie Plec tells EW. What Damon did magnificently throughoutThe Leftoverswas to have singular point-of-view episodes. I found it to be so impressive and so powerful. Credit: Annette Brown/The CW I knew it would be different, Morgan says. The result is a man that Gillies describes as brand new. Hes at the genesis of who he is again, Gillies says....

Theres a lot of pressure that comes with being Hope Mikaelson. ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: What was your introduction to this show? That was a lot of fun. Credit: Bob Mahoney/The CW And the fact that her mom is missing probably only heightens those emotions.For sure. Its a little hard on her. You definitely get to see Hope in some of her glory for the first time. Its the first time [shes opened up] to anyone besides her family....

Spoiler alert: This post contains plot details from the series finale ofThe Originals. Klaus Mikaelson did it. In the final moment ofThe Originalsseries finale, he was redeemed. Credit: Skip Bolen/The CW EW spoke withOriginalsshowrunner Julie Plec about the endingthe happy, the sad, and the untold. ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: When you first pitched the show, you had an arc for Elijah and Klaus. At what point did them dying together become part of the plan?...

Klaus hasnt been there to cause problems. Klaus has seemingly reverted back to his old nasty self as he wreaks havoc across the globe. But the other Mikaelson siblings arent nearly as destructive. Credit: Bob Mahoney/The CW Rebekah and Marcel have given it a go at trying to be together, Plec says. They have made an attempt at actually finding happiness in their relationship. And Kol has gone off and married Davina and is living a blissfully codependent, dysfunctional-family-free era....

(And, of course, magic.) And as for Hopes father, Klaus, the past seven years have been a trying time. So its no surprise that Rebekah decides to call in some backup in the season 5 premiere. Credit: Bob Mahoney/The CW Seeing as how she cant go check on her brother, she asks Caroline to catch up with him. Remember: Theyre both parents now. Theyve come a long way from the people who hooked up in the woods outside Mystic Falls....

But forOriginalsfans, we know our fate: This episode is quite literally the beginning of the end. So far, it seems theyve kept their vow to protect Hope, though it has taken its toll. Regardless, its now the school that Hope has called home for seven years. Credit: Bob Mahoney/The CW - And it seems shes made a friend. So apparently were finding Hope in that rebellious teen stage. Speaking of New Orleans, its currently living a peaceful existence....

And tonight, he got what he has always deserved: an entire hour devoted solely to him. Although, the Elijah we saw in this episode was not the stoic Elijah weve come to know. Without his memories, this Elijah was just a guy looking for some answers. Credit: Annette Brown/The CW And hed find them. All he knows is that he needs food. But what he doesnt know is that those pork rinds in the vending machine wont do the trick....

Well, unfortunately, it does seem that Hope has a few scars. Although, she certainly isnt broken. We start the second episode of the season with Hope remembering the last time she saw her father. Credit: Bob Mahoney/The CW When she was nine, she used magic to visit him. Only, she interrupted him literally ripping a womans heart out. But Klaus makes sure hes long gone by the time she gets there....

In fact, death has always been one of its strong suits. But before we get to all the sadness, lets start with, well, some anger. With the Hollows magic inside her, Hope is trying everything she can think of to handle her rage. Credit: Bob Mahoney/The CW But seeing as how she doesntwantto hurt Klaus, she gets another idea. (Hint: It has curly blond hair and some truly gorgeous eyes.)...

Hope uses magic to reunite the siblings in ‘The Kindness of Strangers.’ Elijah Mikaelson is back. The cufflinks are on. Credit: Curtis Baker/The CW The tie is nice and tight. The daylight ring once again rests on his finger. And as much as it hurts him, Im pretty sure it hurts me more. As for who created it, Freya shows up just in time to accuse Vincent. Once they have all five keys, which will be hidden somewhere meaningful, they can initiate the door....

That was the case with Hayleys goodbye. Yeah, its not great. But thats an issue for another day. Credit: Curtis Baker/The CW For now, we have a goodbye to get to. She signs the letter, with all my sorrow and with love for you and your family. Its no however long it takes, but well take it for now. Also in New Orleans? It seems Greta has more followers that Antoinette realized, and theyve gathered to pay their respects....

Hey, writers, hands off Kol. Hes too pretty to kill off. Before we analyze the death count, lets do a quick roll call to refresh our memories. Credit: Carin Baer/The CW Freya helped her, so shes on Klaus list. Its just like theHunger Games, but with werewolves, witches, and vampires. We know these guys mean business because all the Mardi Gras floats have been torn apart. Oh no they didnt....

TALK ABOUT A TURN. But before we get there, lets start at the beginning. In other words, hes running around town threatening people like its your average Tuesday. Credit: Annette Brown/The CW (Sorry,hisaverage Tuesday.) And once hes done with the threats, he even compels the humans to lend a helping hand. Specifically, he compels the police force to try and find Hayley. But Marcel can tell somethings up. Just then, a note is delivered to the compound....
