When The Originals season 1, episode 3 “Tangled Up in Blue” aired this week there was a lot that happened. Can’t remember? Check out our recap of the episode so you’re ready for the next one!
Last week we saw the first truly original episode of The Originals, no pun intended, and now we get another! Check out our The Originals season 1, episode 3 “Tangled Up in Blue” recap below.
- The episode starts with Haley reading Elijah’s diary entry from August, 1359.
- It seems that in the hundreds of years they’ve been alive, neither Rebekah nor Klaus have changed much.
- Haley asks what the plan is to get Elijah back. Plan A: Just ask Marcel! Easy-peasy. Plan B: War. Slightly more difficult.
- Klaus teaches his new vampire minion how to drain a vampire’s blood, and also tells him about vervain and compulsion. Smart move? Maybe not.
- Rebekah goes to the shop that Haley visited to get the wolfsbane, and gets the witch to tell her who she ratted Haley out to. In a totally and completely badass way.
- The witch, Katie, who ratted out Haley, is in love with Marcel’s right hand man, Thierry, who just became the key in Klaus’ plan.
- Klaus, Rebekah and Sophie discuss their plan: Cast a locator spell to find Elijah, while Katie performs a much bigger spell at the same time. This way, hopefully, Davina will only sense Katie’s spell and not Sophie’s. But this will almost be a death sentence for Katie.
- Turns out that Katie’s boyfriend, Thierry, is the one who “found” Jane-Anne. So Katie ratted out Sophie’s sister to Marcel.
- Rebekah invited Cami to Marcel’s party to make sure Marcel is distracted during the execution of their plan.
- Klaus orchestrated it so that the man he drained of vervain, a vampire, attacks Thierry’s girlfriend, ensuring that Thierry kills him, putting himself on Marcel’s bad side.
- Klause and Rebekah head to the party and, much to Klaus’ initial dismay, meet up with Cami. We see obvious sparks form between Klaus and Cami during their discussion, and it turns out that the “on again, off again” relationship that Rebekah has explained to Cami was in fact Marcel, Cami’s date, and Cami begins to realize that Rebekah is a bit of a bitch.
- Haley is hanging by the pool and sees a wolf in the bushes. A supposed werewolf, maybe?
- Katie and Sophie start doing the spells they need and we get a glimpse of Davina sensing it. Turns out she doesn’t need to hang by her Ouija board all day because the dreams just come to her.
- Davina starts randomly scrambling on a piece of canvas and that’s how she realizes it’s magic.
- Klaus gets the recipe to make new daylight rings and makes his buddy vamp give it to Marcel, stating, “We found this at Thierry’s girlfriend’s place.” Thus eliminating all trust that Marcel had in Thierry.
- For the crime of killing another vampire, Marcel sentences Thierry to “100 years in the garden.” Where is this garden and why is it so terrible?
- Apparently Devina sketches the face of the witch who’s performing magic, as we see when Katie attacks Marcel and his group for hurting her boyfriend.
- Then Klaus kills Katie before she’s about to kill Marcel.
- Because Katie’s dead, the magic link between her and Sophie is broken, and Sophie is unable to finish the locator spell to find Elijah. They were almost there, and then Rebekah stops Sophie from trying again because then Davina will sense her magic.
- So, essentially, that entire plan failed, and they couldn’t find Elijah because Klaus killed Katie.
- Apparently, “the garden” is not so much filled with lovely plants and flowers as it’s a cave where Marcel buries all his enemies in cement and lets them desiccate.
- By saving Marcel’s life, Klaus got his trust and therefore a favor: Marcel is letting Klaus get his brother back! YAY!
- In one of the final scenes, Cami and Klaus have a serious connection before Klaus compells her to give Marcel another chance.
- Marcel tells Davina he’s going to give Elijah back, but she refuses because the Originals are dangerous. She wants to find out how to kill them first.
- Haley had a witch friend of Sophie’s help her figure out what the gender of the baby is, and then tells Klaus that her baby is a girl.
- We find out that when the witch found out the gender of the baby, she also got…possessed, shall we say, and started muttering out something in an unknown language. The episode ends with us wondering what it was.
Well, that’s it for the recap! It was ridiculously intense, and this goes to prove that Julie Plec intends The Originals to be one hell of a ride, and we can’t wait to see how it plays out.
