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.

(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.
All thats on it is an address.
(And Im reminded how much I enjoy these two together.)
Once inside the house, they find lots of blood and a chair where Hayley was clearly tied up.
There are ropes laced in wolfs bane and vervaine.
On top of that, theyre covered in nails.
And on the wall, the words freak filth crossbreed are written in blood.
Upon hearing this, Vincent takes off, determined to save his fellow witch.
But its Ivy who stops him.
Of course that all changes.
Then, a box with a note is delivered to Klaus.
Remember that fine line Klaus was walking?
This is when he crosses it.
He kills both the witch and vampire hostages before Vincent stops him from killing Josh by snapping his neck.
Marcel is then left to deal with Klaus.
He ties him up in chains and puts him in a coffin.
Theyve always been threatened by the crossbreeds, which means that Hayley was taken by a vampire.
Until Marcel can trust them, they will fall in line, he says.
There will be no more daylight rings, and anyone who questions their rule, will lose their head.
With Klaus by his side, Marcel is demanding control of the city.
And I, for one, love the idea of the two of them ruling this city together.
(Next: Freya pays Hope a visit)
But Vincent wont be joining them.
And thats not something Klaus wants.
He claims its a message from enemies I thought I buried long ago.
Nobody knows, but Freya wants Hope to be prepared for anything.
Its incredibly cute, but Freya interrupts.
Hope apologizes for earlier, and together, theyre left to figure out what to do next.
(Um, you go finish your conversation with Roman, thats what!!)
All in all, the Marcel-Klaus stuff was the strongest stuff of the hour for me.
