Trivia[]
- Antagonists: Elijah (flashback), Mikael, Esther, Finn, and Kol.
- Both Klaus and Davina learn that Kaleb is really Kol Mikaelson, having been possessed since before the events of Rebirth.
- Kol discovers that Davina is working on a way to unlink Klaus' sire line by combining and reciting Esther's spells for sire bonds and linking backwards, which he finds quite clever. He also discovers the binding element she plans on using, Kandahar root, and kills it so it is no longer a viable ingredient.
- Camille tells Klaus that she was wrong in not letting him kill Mikael when he had the chance.
- Mikael feeds on Camille and this is the first time Mikael voluntarily fed on a non-supernatural human instead of a witch or a vampire. Though he prefers vampire blood to that of humans, but will drink the latter if he has no other choice.
- Mikael reveals to Cami that when Klaus was born, he was overjoyed and loved him, seeing him as having "the eyes of a warrior."
