who used magic to discover that the Hollows magic is slowly killing Hope.

Josh and Ivy they need a bit of happiness.

And thats why they move their wedding date up to … TODAY.

That is if he can climb his way out of the dark hole hes in.

That letter is from Andrea, a.k.a.

Thats when he starts to remember their time together in France.

It seems Andrea went to visit Elijah during their years apart.

He seems to be, but hes also seemingly enamored with this new woman in front of him.

(Good lord, Id forgotten how great their chemistry is!)

By the end of the night, he asks if shes ever felt like she were destined for someone.

Yes, she responds, as hearts break everywhere.

Then she kisses him on the cheek and walks away from what would be their final real moment together.

The memory is too much for Elijah.

(His words, obviously).

But he knows this: He couldve saved her.

And for that, hes not ready to forgive himself.

Hes also not ready to help his family, which is very unlike him.

You helped me more than you could ever know.

I realized Id been holding onto things that I shouldnt.

Ill never forget my time in France.

Until then, be happy.

Regardless, it was a beautiful farewell for a couple that I was worried wed seen the last.

(Next: Freya and Keelin tie the knot!)

After all, nothings going to change if they keep going about the faction business the same way.

Okay, NOW to the wedding, which is almost called off!

Because Freya realizes theres something she hasnt told Keelin: She doesnt want kids.

And when she tells Keelin that the topic is non-negotiable, they end things … for about five minutes.

If Freya and Keelin were to bring a child into this world, they would never cause it pain.

You always put your family in front of yourself, Rebekah tells Freya.

you’re able to break the cycle.

Freya then tells Keelin that shed be open to the kid discussion one day in the future.

As for now, they need to get married!

So together, Klaus and Elijah escort Freya to her forever.

Klaus admits that he didnt tell her.

Now THIS is the stuff Ive missed.
