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.

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.
Klaus recognizes his daughters crazy eyes and turns to witchcraft to help her.
When Hope puts it on, the whispers finally subside.
Unfortunately, the metal burns her skin, and shes forced to take it off.
Hes not really buying that the brakes gave out in her car.
And its really uncool that they had a funeral without him.
He decides to drown his sorrows at the bar.
Elijah follows him there and pretends to be a well-dressed man who just needs a drink.
He and Declan discuss their depressing love lives, and Declan shows Elijah an engagement ring.
He was going to propose.
Right outside, Lisina rallies her fellow werewolves to help rebuild the float.
Theres no way the night walkers can run them out of their city.
Keelin is there to help, which means Freya is not far behind.
Speaking of lovers, I think Vincent and Ivy are about to be on everyones ship list!
There is all sorts of side-eye going on, and flirty giggles.
He really wants to make his move, but Ivy is all about the pending war between the vampires.
She knows the witches will have to take a side.
Ivy leaves to help with the float, and a creepy voice echos from the crypt behind Vincent.
Threatening Vincent, which is a big no-no.
Its all a huge mess.
Emmett is a bully and promises a fight when the sun goes down.
And Josh boldly tells Marcel that Emmett is doing exactly what Marcel did years ago.
He wanted vampires at the top of the food chain, and they lived that way for decades.
This has to stop, and Marcel knows it.
The werewolves continue to prepare for Mardi Gras.
Lisina rambles on about how her mother was the queen of the parade one year as Keelin barely listens.
Shes too busy watching Freya from across the room.
A man walks up with a suitcase in his hand and apologizes to Lisina.
Then a bomb goes off.
We add Lisina to the ever-growing deceased roster.
Fortunately, Keelin was spared.
Vincent comes rushing in and finds Ivy alive.
All bets are officially off.
Vincent mugs down with Ivy and later, in a room full of candles, Freya proposes to Keelin.
Love is in the air!
She is desperate to find some absinthe for a spell and tears the house apart looking for it.
Then she heads to Rousseaus to borrow some absinthe from the bar.
There she finds Declan (shes happy!)
and Elijah (shes mad.)
With a simple twist of her hand, Declan falls asleep.
I suppose Klaus needed something a little more powerful?
Its Hope against Elijah now, and Hope is winning.
She swipes her arms back and forth, and claw marks cut through Elijahs perfectly pressed shirt.
She rips him to shreds and then leaves when an agitated Klaus calls her name.
Poor Declan wakes up to see Hope somewhat killing her uncle, then he witnesses Elijah heal.
He claims, Something isnt right.
Elijah finally tells the innocent bystander that he lives in a town full of werewolves and vampires.
Throw a stone in a crowd and youll probably hit one.
You know who else is happy?
it seems the incessant whispering stopped after she beat the crap out of her uncle.
Shes very concerned about her rage being quieted by violence.
Klaus looks at her and smiles.
If anyone knows how to use violence to feel better, its this guy.
The mentor meets the mentee.
Emmett shows up with an army.
Marcels group prepares to fight with wooden arrows.
Suddenly, the army disappears.
They were an astral projection.
Emmett begins to laugh, reminding Vincent that he warned him to pick the right side.
Vincent realizes this is Emmetts way of punishing him for choosing incorrectly.
He takes off running toward the cemetery, where Ivy and the other witches are praying for peace.
Ivy collapses in Vincents arms.
Its time to put another mark in the death column.
