Two hundred years ago, it was my art studio. It became a tomb for my memory of you. I thought if I painted what haunted me, I could free myself of you forever. In all my years, I have never been more wrong about anything.
Klaus to Aurora

Beautiful Mistake is the sixth episode of the third season of The Originals and the fiftieth episode of the series overall.

Summary[]

THE STRIX MAKE THEIR MOVE — When Elijah and Freya realize that Rebekah may be the target of the Strix's latest plan, they do whatever it takes to protect her. Elsewhere, Klaus spends time with Aurora to figure out where her loyalties lie, while a dangerous run-in with a member of the Strix leads Hayley and Marcel to make an unsettling discovery. Finally, an elaborate scheme created by Lucien leaves Cami faced with a difficult decision to make and Detective Kinney fighting for his life.

Plot[]

Klaus is upset at what he's heard over the phone, and Aurora wakes up in his bed. Knowingly, she says she'll tell him everything he wants to know.

Twenty-four hours earlier, Freya performs a spell that lets her spirit visit Rebekah (in Eva's body) and they share a drink. She tells her Elijah and Klaus are on intermittent speaking terms, and Rebekah says she's very close to bringing back Kol. After Freya comes back to her body, Rebekah is attacked by Aya. She dies, and Rebekah is returned to her original body.

Freya sees the ruined courtyard, and her two brothers having calmed down from a fight. They tell her Lucien and Tristan are allied together against the Mikaelsons, and they've come to an understanding that they must kill their first-sired.

Will Kinney tells Camille that she needs to reveal what she's hiding and he'll protect her, but Lucien arrives and knocks him out, and Camille shortly after. She awakes in his penthouse; he wants her to find an ancient medallion, while he has Will compelled to cook a meal for him. He finds out about the supernatural world, and realizes Camille's brother had been involved too; that's why he committed murder.

Meanwhile, Hayley is tailed by Shen Min, a Strix, and while fighting, she manages to knock him out.

Elijah tells Freya that he had compelled Tristan, Lucien and Aurora to believe they were the Mikaelsons. For a century, they were on the run from Mikael. But then the real Mikaelsons were daggered, and the compulsion ended.

Freya gets a headache and a feeling, saying they need to contact Rebekah immediately. She tries to send Rebekah a letter by magic, but her hands become bloody because there's no magical connection from the witch body anymore.

Klaus shows Aurora around the city, but Aurora knows he's interrogating her. He offers to buy her lunch, and she feeds on a woman. Aurora tells him about the hundred years running from Mikael, and how they lost everything when the compulsion had finally ended. Tristan and Lucien scoured the world looking for weapons, anything, that can kill an Original.

Rebekah fights with Aya and a few other Strix, and Aya is the only one standing now. Freya, however, comes in the form of spirit, and snaps their neck. But Rebekah refuses to return home, because she needs the spell to bring back Kol.

Elijah gets a call from Marcel about Shen Min, and very worried, orders Marcel to execute Shen Min immediately. He and Freya then visit Rebekah. Elijah, thinking he'll see Rebekah later that night, returns to his body to handle Shen Min. Since there's no point in arguing, Freya lets Rebekah find the witch she sought after.

Klaus shows Aurora a painting he did of her, two hundred years ago. He hid it in the wall, as a tomb for his memories of her.

Shen Min nearly kills Marcel and Hayley, but Elijah arrives just in time. He compels him, but all Shen Min reveals is that (1) he was following Hayley to remove her from the playing field, because she's an obstacle to whom they truly want, which is Davina Claire, and (2) Tristan needs her to activate a weapon against the Mikaelsons. Shen Min removes his daylight ring, unwilling to give him more information despite the compulsion. He burns away.

Camille gets Lucien to heal Will, and after trying to trick him but failing, she gives him the medallion. Lucien compels Will to forget everything.

Rebekah finds the spell, but Aya got to the witch first. The spell turns into flames. Freya's spirit returns to her body, knocked out. Aya daggers Rebekah.

Back to where the first scene of the episode takes place, Aurora tells Klaus she had two of her sireline secure Rebekah's body. Rebekah is safe out of the hands of Tristan.

Trivia[]

  • Antagonists: Lucien, Aya and Shen Min.
  • This is the 50th episode of "The Originals".
  • This episode marks Rebekah Mikaelson's first present day appearance this season.
  • In this episode we learn of a new resurrection spell for Kol, that involves his ashes and the blood of two of his siblings.
    • Unfortunately, the pages containing the spell itself was destroyed before anything could happen.
  • Elijah revealed to Freya that after they fled France, the Mikaelson siblings settled in Tuscany, Italy.
  • Rebekah's spirit returns to her original body in this episode as Aya slits Eva Sinclair's throat.
  • It is revealed that the cause of the The Trinity's hatred for the Originals was due to the fact that Elijah compelled Lucien, Tristan and Aurora to be Klaus, Elijah and Rebekah respectively so that Mikael would chase them while the Originals fled.
    • The compulsion wore off when the Originals were daggered by Brotherhood of the Five in 1114 A.D.
    • Despite this, Mikael still chased after The Trinity, so as a result, they swore vengeance against the Mikaelson family and spend centuries looking for weapons that would kill them until the truth about the sirelines were revealed, thus forcing them to incapacitate the Originals instead so they wouldn't die themselves.
  • Aya incapacitated Rebekah by using a dagger designed to dessicate a vampire with one thrust. The dagger used by Aya must be similar to the Silver daggers except a vampire can use one on an Original Vampire and not die.
  • Aurora reveals that she hijacked Tristan's plan to capture Rebekah by getting vampires from her bloodline to disguise themselves a Strix members to retrieve Rebekah's body and ensure her safety.
  • It is revealed by Aurora that the weapon used to defeat the Originals for good is a Dark Object called the Serratura. It is capable of producing an impenetrable barrier so that no one can break in or out by any means. Tristan and Lucien intends to use this to lock Klaus, Elijah, and Rebekah, possibly to trap them inside forever so that no one may harm them.
  • Under Elijah's compulsion, Shen Min revealed that he was sent to go after Hayley because she was in The Strix's way to get to Davina who they need to activate the weapon against the Originals.

Klaus: "I'd love to know whose side you're on. But it would be rude of me to ask such a discourse from so beautiful a woman without first buying her lunch. Wouldn't you agree?"
