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.

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.
Together, theyre making sure the celebration will once again go off without a hitch.
At least thats Vincents plan, but Joshs phone keeps buzzing with texts from Marcel.
The man might be miles away in New York, but he can never really let his city go.
And thats why theyre not together…thats also why Hayley has found herself a new man.
At least, thats the plan before Hayley gets the call from Hopes school.
And he seems rather impressed that Hope Marshall of all people got suspended.
As he puts it, its cool.
So yeah, meet the bad boy that Hope clearly has a crush on.
Henry asks, Your dads not going to kill me for getting you suspended is he?
But Hope wouldnt know because he cant bother to be a dad.
Freya doesnt agree immediately, but shes certainly thinking about it.
However, Keelin and Freya arent the only couple thats found happiness over the years.
The first object is a wedding dress that he saw Rebekah eyeing.
The second is the drawing of the house he designed for them all those years ago.
And the fourth object?
I MEAN COME ON!!
At this point, Rebekahs crying, but Marcel anticipated that.
Hes prepared two envelopes If you say yes and If you say no.
All she has to do is pick one.
But she cant, not yet.
Not with her family in the state its in.
And what state is that you ask?
Klaus responds, Now you sound like my brother.
He was my lone star.
And now Im definitely crying.
Rebekah quickly calls Klaus and tells him he has to leave…now.
She agrees to meet him later.
For now, she has her hands full.
It seems Kol is enjoying married life with Davina in Belize.
His response: Hello, love.
And in those two lines, were reminded of the unbelievable chemistry between these two.
Speaking of Hope, why is Klaus avoiding her?
Caroline, always realizing what Klaus is up to, figures out that hes not just killing random people.
Rather, hes methodically picking off all members of one family.
In Elijahs current state, he wouldnt know an enemy if he/she sat down next to him.
And for once, Klaus is the one having to look out for Elijah.
I find Im not good without Elijah, he admits.
This is worse than if he were dead.
After all, he knows what its like to be raised by a monster.
And cue Caroline calling him on his crap.
Mikael is dead, and she tells Klaus, Get over it.
Stop using Mikael as an excuse to be a bad father!
And now Im reminded of what these two can do with the simplest line.
I have missed this.
With that, Caroline heads out, and as for Klaus, well, well get back to him.
But despite it all, Vincent tells Freya she should go to Keelin.
Their conversation is interrupted when Henry shows up with the bartenders dead body.
He just killed a vampire, and this isnt going to end well.
Almost immediately, the city is divided with the vampires wanting to get their hands on Henry.
By the time Freya gets home, the fountain is running red, and thats just the beginning.
It seems Rebekah decided to pay her brother a visit.
It was the one that read if you say no.
From there, Marcel sent Josh a text: Hes coming home.
As for Rebekah, she went to have a chat with Elijah.
Is it odd having strangers confide in you?
she asked, to which he responded, I guess I just have that kind of face.
Rebekah, speaking for all of us, told him, I think its a nice face.
Hope picks up and tells her father that Hayleys missing.
Im on my way, he tells her just as the city starts to rain blood.
So yeah, Id say were at a tipping point.
And if this is only the beginning of the end, what is the end going to look like?
All in all, I really liked this premiere.
But once you get used to it, it does work.
Lets just hope raining blood is as bad as it gets.
