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.

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.
This reunion isnt going to come easy.
(Plus, Ivys cute and Vincent isverysingle.)
(Reminder: Hes a super Original now.)
But thats when Hope shows up and throws her father across the room.
Not the reunion she probably expected, but its kind of perfect.
Klaus compels Declan to forget their entire interaction before once again leaving Hope.
He can hear the evil whispers when hes near her.
He knows its not safe.
With that, Hope will return home, where, DID I MENTION THERE WAS A BOY?!
Earlier in the day, Roman showed up on her balcony.
It seems word spread around the school that Henry killed himself and Roman wants to pay his respects.
He feels bad about the fact that his friends bullied Henry.
As for Roman and Hope, theyre CUTE.
is home to NiKlaus Mikaelson, her father, which makes her the mythical tribrid freak show.
But that doesnt make Roman turn away.
Hope tells him to run seeing as how her father will literally wear your spine as a necklace.
So leave he does.
And then Klaus enters.
But before we get to that chat, lets deal with the Henry of it all.
Josh and Marcel head to the bayou and successfully convince the wolves to hand Henry over.
But before they bury him, Marcel and Josh question him about Hayleys disappearance.
Marcel very quickly realizes that Henry is protecting his sire…which means Hope was behind her mothers disappearance.
And that brings us back to Klaus and Hopes confrontation.
After all, he used to put his family members in coffins and use them as leverage.
He heads out to get her when Hope uses magic to shut the doors.
She is going to get her talk regardless of what Klaus wants.
Sorry I interrupted your murder orgy, she tells him.
Plus, he cant forget the horror in her eyes when she saw him.
I was nine, she tells him, I saw this scary monster who looked like my dad.
Hope then struggled with the man she saw that night and the one who called her a princess.
I didnt know which version of you was real, she says.
Klaus says that, in his experience, fathers always cause pain.
Hope is surprised that hed call her broken.
Maybe youre right, she says.
Maybe that little girl you miss so much would be better off if she never loved you at all.
She then opens the doors and allows Klaus to leave, which he does.
Meanwhile, Freya and Keelin yep, Keelins back for now!
You know, normal angsty teen stuff.
Across town, Ivy is helping Vincent get a read on Hope.
That is if Vincent cant change her course.
But Marcels protective of his sister of sorts.
Speaking of those two, Hope pays Marcel a visit just as hes putting Henry in the garden.
Im supposed to be worth it, she says.
Im supposed to be better.
She tells him that Klaus thinks shes broken before revealing that shes scared her dad doesnt love her anymore.
Marcel reassures her thats not true.
And you are good.
Show me anybody who says otherwise and Ill eat em.
Yep, I love these two so much.
He tells Hope what happened and promises that this is his fault and he will fix it.
He called Alaric and made arrangements for her to return to Mystic Falls tonight.
Once he knows shes safe, he will find Hayley.
Just then a snake comes out of Hopes mouth the ultimate sign that its time to go.
He tells his daughter that he loves her and leaves.
Freya, realizing she has to stay, tells Keelin to go, see the world, and breathe.
I cant be the reason your whole life is on hold.
She cant be helpful to her family with that burden on her heart.
I cant love you and my family at the same time, she tells Keelin.
I dont want you to stay.
With that, Keelin walks out.
But the question is: Who killed him?
