The prophecy has loomed large over the Mikaelsons’ heads all season long, but after Elijah and Marcel’s triumph last episode, we can’t help but wonder if maybe The Originals could beat this thing.
Step one to beating the prophecy was figuring out how to get around that whole “One by family” part. Thanks to Rebekah, that portion has been dealt with, and Elijah can fully trust Klaus now. The other two parts, “One by friend, and one by foe,” have been dangling over their heads.
Thanks to the last few moments of The Originals season 3, episode 12, we know that Aurora has taken the only substance that can permanently dispatch an Original and turned it into White Oak bullets. While we can’t imagine The Originals actually killing Klaus or Elijah, we can’t help but worry a little. It’s been a long time since there’s been any White Oak in the equation. If she did succeed in hitting either of them with one of the bullets, it’s pretty clear that the enemy part of the equation would have been fulfilled.
The one good thing about the White Oak being used for bullets is that if they can all be recovered after Aurora’s shooting spree, they will be easier to dispose of, or to hide, whichever the Mikaelsons think is best.
The Original family is in the best shape they’ve been in yet in regards to the prophecy. Elijah can trust Klaus thanks to Rebekah’s sacrifice, Marcel has control of the Strix and is working with Elijah, and Klaus knows that Aurora is in possession of the White Oak. The only way things could be better is if Aurora was a neutralized threat and they had the White Oak back in safe hands, but we’ll leave that task to Klaus in this week’s episode.
If the Originals are going to beat this thing, they have to keep an eye out for each other with both friends and enemies. In fact, the only times the Mikaelsons should feel truly safe nowadays is when they are surrounded by other Mikaelsons. We can only wonder if a time in the season will come when the Mikaelson compound will be shut off from all outsiders, but for now, they will just keep chipping away at the threats around them.
We discovered at the very end of The Originals season 3, episode 12, “Dead Angels,” that Aya and the Strix are working on finding a way to separate the sires from the sirees. While the implications of this could mean both good and bad things for the Originals, it would keep their deaths from ending their entire sire lines, and could therefore take the targets off their heads as far as this whole war of the sirelines business is concerned.
