We’ve been anxious to meet Tatia since we first heard about the girl that drove a wedge between Elijah and Klaus. This week, we finally get our chance.

After last week’s epic installment of the Mikaelson family saga, we are most anxious to see where tonight’s episode takes them. We are well aware that tonight is the big episode in which Nina Dobrev will appear, allowing us all to FINALLY meet the one and only Tatia. The girl that drove a wedge between Klaus and Elijah. The girl that became the doppelganger blood sacrifice to bind the vampire curse to their bones.

We could not be more excited! Here is everything you need to prepare yourselves for tonight’s episode. It’s sure to be a wild ride.

Synopsis for ‘The Originals’ season 2, episode 5, ‘Red Door’

“THE VAMPIRE DIARIES’ NINA DOBREV APPEARS IN FLASHBACKS AS TATIA, THE ORIGINAL DOPPELGANGER — In order to show Elijah (Daniel Gillies) that her plan is what’s best for him, Esther forces him to relive a time long ago when he loved a young woman named Tatia (guest star Nina Dobrev). With the help of Marcel (Charles Michael Davis), Hayley (Phoebe Tonkin) is determined to find Elijah, who has gone missing, but is torn when she discovers that Klaus (Joseph Morgan) is also in trouble. Elsewhere, Cami (Leah Pipes) finds herself in a dangerous situation when Mikael (guest star Sebastian Roche) takes her hostage as a way to lure Klaus to him, and Davina (Danielle Campbell) makes an upsetting discovery about Kaleb’s (guest star Daniel Sharman) true identity. Lastly, a violent confrontation ensues when Klaus comes face-to-face with Mikael. Michael Robison directed the episode written by Declan de Barra & Diane Ademu-John (#205). Original airdate 11/3/2014.”

Sneak Peeks

Is this Klaus showing… restraint? Clearly Cami has some sort of hold on him, because no one has been able to talk Klaus off the ledge that easily in, well, probably centuries.

It’s good to know that even when they’re bickering, Hayley still cares enough about Elijah to know when his disappearance is out of character.
