The Originals season 1, episode 11, “Après Moi, Le Déluge,” aired tonight and left us shaking in our boots! Check out our recap of the episode and let us know what you thought!
An Attack of the Elements
-Elijah starts narrating a story of witches and how they’ve been a force to be reckoned with for centuries. There’s never been an all-powerful one like Davina.
-Marcel comes in to talk to Davina and make peace with her, but she keeps throwing him against the wall.
-Davina starts mysteriously coughing up dirt.
-The entire place starts shaking randomly, and Klaus thinks it’s Davina and NOT an earthquake.
-Davina claims she didn’t mean to do it, and that there’s something wrong with her.
-Elijah wants to know why this power she can’t control is manifesting in an aggressive manner, and he decides to see Sophie.
-Before he leaves, Haley tells her about the deal she made with Sophie to help her find Celeste’s remains.
-Elijah tells Haley that Celeste didn’t want to be found, and Haley broke his promise to her.
-Sophie meets with Sabine to tell her the plan to become an Elder witch. If they consecrate a powerful witch, then the witch who does it gains her power and becomes an elder.
-Elijah catches up with Sophie to tell her she shouldn’t go through with her plan.
-Sophie says one person wasn’t ever meant to hold that much power and it will tear her apart, and take them down with it. They need to go through with the harvest.
-The are four stages: The Earthquake, wind, water and fire. Each stage worse than the last.
-Rebekah sedates Davina so the elements can stop.
Rebekah: Alliance Maker Extraordinaire
-Marcel does not want the harvest to happen, because it means Davina has to die.
-However, Klaus and Elijah and the rest of the gang believe it’s the right thing. They believe she’ll resurrect.
-Rebekah visits Sophie at the bar, and wants her to make a decision. She wants Sophie to form an alliance with her because Marcel and Klaus don’t fight fair.
-Marcel takes Davina away from the Originals’ house, not caring what Klaus says.
Klaus DOES Care
-Rebekah and Klaus find out that Marcel took Davina, they split up to look for them.
-Haley was preparing cans to take out to her family in the bayou, but Klaus doesn’t like her going alone so her goes with her.
-Sabine works with Elijah to help use a tracking spell to find her.
-Marcel wins over Davina’s trust as she wakes up and he promises that no one will touch her.
-Klaus asked Cami’s uncle to give people shelter, and now he needs another favor. He needs the reverend’s resources to help find Davina.
-The people in the church are werewolves: Klaus’ clan that he wants to keep safe.
-There is no magic in Celeste’s bones and Sophie can’t consecrate them, so they need to find another dead witch to consecrate: the Originals’ mother.
Welcome to Waterworld
-Elijah goes to his siblings with the idea and Klaus is on board, but Rebekah does not want to hand her mother’s magic to the witches to use.
-Just as they’re deliberating, rain — also known as the third sign (water) — starts falling and convinces Rebekah they need to consecrate her mother’s remains.
-Rebekah visits Thierry and he tells her Marcel’s place of refuge by the docks, where he’s holding Davina.
-Rebekah then finds them and tells Marcel that keeping her from the witches is killing her.
-And then Davina starts coughing up water.
Enough is Enough
-It’s pouring and the Originals are at the grave site where they’re going to consecrate their mother and start slicing their hands open. Because, you know, what’s magic without blood?
-Back in the grave, Sabine and Sophie are enchanting the knife they’re going to use to cut Davina’s throat. The other three girls who died before are there perfectly preserved.
-Davina says it’s all right, that she wants to be sacrificed. She’ll die either way, and if one of them means taking out everyone else with her, then she’d rather not do that. She’s had a lot in her life and is ready to die.
-As fire starts its stage, Marcel brings Davina to the sacrificial alter just in time.
-Sophie cuts Davina’s throat, and the rain and fire stops.
Not According to Plan
-The harvest is completed, and now they must do The Reaping to resurrect the chosen ones.
-However, it doesn’t seem to be working. Sophie calls upon the Elders to resurrect the chosen ones.
-It didn’t work, and now everyone is angry. Cue Marcel throwing everything around, blaming Klaus for it.
-Marcel doesn’t care about the vampires; he hates that Davina is dead.
-Klaus tells Marcel he feels his pain, felt it when he thought Marcel was dead several years ago.
-Haley asks Elijah for forgiveness, but Elijah says that love is so rare he still feels betrayed.
-Haley says that she won’t choose the dead over the living, so why is he? They almost kiss, but he walks away.
-Rebekah and Klaus really thought the plan would work. Four witches were supposed to rise but none did…so where did the power go?
-A montage shows three people dressed in old time clothes coming out of the cemetery.
-Sabine brought them back, and reveals that she is Celeste.
