We have your weekly review of last night THE ORIGINALS episode 15 called, “Le Grand Guigno.” It’s New Orleans in 1919 and we are treated to some jazz music inside a jazz club. People are dancing and having a good time. Klaus is standing with Elijah and the Queen of the werewolves. Klaus says that it’s a first they have werewolves, vampires, witches, and dirty cops drunk as clams and happy as stotes. The Queen says you’ve got to love this city. Elijah says to a new era, calibration in the face of prohibition. He hands out shots. The Queen says to your darts, their booze, and our theaters to hide it under, your welcome boys. They clink the glasses and do the shots. Klaus tells her he has to think of a way to thank her personally. She walks away touching him as she goes. Elijah tells Klaus he never would have thought it possible the unification of New Orleans. Klaus tells him they did it. Elijah tells him that the vision was all his.
In the present Klaus is laying in bed with the dagger still in him. Elijah comments that this was all Klaus. Cammie shows up and runs to Elijah when he calls her. Cammie ask if he found a way to help her uncle. Elijah tells her he can try but forts he needs her help. Cammie tells,him she doesn’t have time for games her uncles curse gets worse everyday. Elijah takes her bet and raises it, he tells her his brother has a mystical torture device buried in his chest, and the mother of his child is missing so he can assure her he has no time for games either. Cammie ask what Elijah needs her to do.
Cammie is with Elijah and they are in the bedroom with Klaus. Cammie seems surprised that the dagger the witch gave her is in him. Elijah tells her every second it is in Klaus it causes him untold suffering. Cammie ask who stabbed him. Elijah tells her he did. Cammie looks at him incredulously. Elijah tells her he is now going to remove it and she might want to step back. Cammie ask why she is there. Elijah tells her it’s because of all the people there she is the only one he wouldn’t immediately slaughter. Bet that makes her feel special, how could it not. Elijah cuts Klaus open, rams his hand in and takes the dagger out while Cammie watches in what can only be described as sickening awe. Elijah tells her that Klaus speaks of her with a rare degree of respect. Elijah tells her he needs her to watch over Klaus and feed him, from her wrist. Cammie points out they have bags of blood. Elijah tells her he wants him to drink blood with vervain so it will burn and he will drink it slower. Elijah tells her perhaps she could use the time to talk him out of killing his baby sister. Elijah tells Klaus it was not his desire to bring him pain but he will not see him hurt Rebekah, he fears that Sabine is making a final move against them, he intends to,find her and end this. Klaus tells Elijah he will pay for this.
Celeste gets the tape ripped off her mouth by Haley who has her tied to a tree. Celeste Ask if it’s payback and the tells her she is sorry she tricked her she wants after them. Eve ask Celeste if they were just collateral damage that she almost burned Haley and Jackson to death in that fire. Celeste starts moving and Haley fires a shot next to her. Haley tells her to be careful that sudden movements make her jumpy, she cocks the gun, and homicidal. Celeste ask Haley if she is going to kill her. Haley tells her no that she knows better and she knows all about her. She knows she likes to off herself and then jump into other peoples bodies, and that’s not going to happen there. Haley knows she can’t kill her. Celeste ask her what she wants. Haley tells her back in the nineties she inhabited a witch named Brynn Devereaux, Marcel had her put a curse on a pack of werewolves so they could only be human on a full moon. Celeste admits that was her and thinks Haley wants revenge. Haley wants her to undo the curse.
Klaus is laying in bed. Cammie is sitting on the bed she says she never thought she would be feeding a vampire and that her sixteen year old self would think she is really cool right now. She puts her wrist up to Klaus’s mouth. He bites. Cammie tells him to slow down, she ask if the vervain burns. Klaus tells her as she may have yet to realize the line between what brings them pain and what sustains them is far thinner than one imagines. Cammie ask if he is talking about her blood or his need to hunt down the people he loves the most. Klaus tells her he is to weak for one of her talks right now. Cammie says Rebekah is his sister how can he hate her so much. Klaus tells her it’s because she has managed to do to him what no one has for a thousand years, rip his heart out.
Back in 1919 we see Rebekah walking in the club. Klaus and Elijah are watching from a distance. Klaus tells him to look at them pretending to be a part when they are so clearly a pair. Klaus gets up to talk he brings attention to two people who have been sneaking around behind his back, he says with this new era we require more progressive attitudes to match. With that he gives Marcel and Rebekah is blessing to be together. Klaus tells,the band to begin to play again. Klaus walks over to Rebekah and tells her over the years she has thwarted her loves to protect her, but they don’t have to run anymore they found a home. He kisses her on the cheek and tells her to be happy.
Back in the present Klaus is sitting on the bed getting dressed. He tells Cammie that he let his guard down, NAND gave into happiness. He tells her it turns out they had already betrayed him, and brought to town the one thing he had been running from for centuries, his father (played by Sebastian Roche who is better known as Jerry Jax on General Hospital.) Cammie tells,him he is consumed by revenge he will never achieve, Elijah implied that Rebekah and Marcel could be anywhere in the works by now. Klaus tells her he isn’t so sure about that.
Marcel and Rebekah are siting in a car at a stop sign. Rebekah flashes back to sometime in 1919 and she is talking to Marcel about Genevieve having summoned her father over six months ago and nothing, the spell must have failed. Marcel tells her they dodged a bullet. Rebekah tells,him she is on her way to a meeting. She kisses him on the lips and leaves. Marcel watches her leave and so does her father.
Back in the car Rebekah tells Marcel that Klaus will chase them to the ends of the earth and he will find them that no one can run forever. Marcel tells her that have to go with their plan then.
Klaus explains they will need a cloaking spell and they will need a witch for that.
Marcel tells Rebekah they need Davina, they will bring her back them take her with them out of town and she can hide them from Klaus so he can never find them. Rebekah tells him they don’t even know which witch to kill. Marcel tells her then they will kill all of them.
Klaus says there is only one place they can go. Marcel turns the car around. Klaus says home.
Monique is laying in a crypt and gets upset when Elijah shows up. Monique tells him one day his kind will not be allowed in there. Elijah tells her that day isn’t today and he needs her help to find Celeste she has taken someone very important to him. Monique can’t understand why he thought she would help, she tells him Celeste is their to help them. Elijah tells her all she wants to do is destroy his family. Monique ask why that would be a bad thing. Elijah tells her that his mother was a powerful worth and because of her power now flows through Monique’s veins, he tells her once Celeste has done what she has always down she will jump into another body and disappear leaving the witches powerless. Monique tells him he is wrong. Elijah gives her a page out of his mothers Grimoire and tells her Celeste used a similar spell for the body jump, if what she says is true when she sacrifices herself all of her power will flow back into the earth however if she has lied and tries to take another body that spell will deliver her to a very different destination. Elijah ask her to please locate Celeste. Monique gives sigh of one that is about to give in.

Rebekah’s father says until this afternoon he didn’t understand why Marcel had sent for him, but now he does, he did it for love. Marcel tells him he better not lay a hand on Rebekah. Her father tells Marcel that he won’t hurt Rebekah, truth to be told she was always his favorite, and that Marcel can have the town but one condition he has to tell him where his sons are.
