Trivia
- Antagonists: Lucien Castle, Aurora de Martel and The Ancestors.
- Lucien can easily overpower Klaus.
- Klaus is stabbed by Lucien with Papa Tunde's Blade.
- Lucien brings Klaus to his Penthouse and tortures him along with Aurora.
- Lucien informs Freya and Elijah that as the Ancestor's champion they won't let any harm come to him or for him to be bound as this was shown when they undid Freya's seal that held him.
- Aurora has taken the serum, but is yet to activate it. She was prevented from doing so by Cami and Hayley's arrival at the penthouse to free Klaus.
- The deed to the Mikaelson compound has been put in Freya's name so it's impenetrable to other vampires.
- Lucien learns that Aurora used him to get revenge on Klaus and never truly loved him.
- Vincent is removed as Regent in this episode and replaced by Van Nguyen.
- Vincent is told by Van that the witches plan to take back New Orleans from the vampires and the reason the Ancestor's replaced him as Regent is because he was in contact with the shunned Davina as well as associating with vampires.
- Van Nguyen is the new Regent, he's also the third new Regent in less than year following Davina Claire and the most recent Vincent Griffith.
- Kol will desiccate if he steps out of New Orleans.
- Klaus keeps Hayley from Aurora as she has taken the serum and that if she's killed she will become a Beast like Lucien.
- Freya plans to study Aurora's serum infused blood to try and find a way to defeat Lucien but far from the city outside of the Ancestor's reach.
- Aurora is captured by the Mikaelsons.
- Cami is bitten by Lucien.

Behind the Scenes
- This episode marks Leah Pipes' 50th appearance as Camille O'Connell.
- Jesse Warn has directed numerous episodes of Spartacus and Arrow, so his knowledge of fight sequences is particularly deep. Also, he set the bar high for The Originals when he directed the massive Klaus vs. Marcel’s Army battle in season 1’s “River in Reverse.” Needless to say, the cast, crew, and writers were incredibly excited to give him three fight scenes to work with in this episode. With Jesse’s guidance, our stunt coordinator, Dave Morizot, had a field day with all three fights, and our cast came to play when we filmed them. Extra special props to both Joseph Morgan and Andy Lees, who were so prepared for their fights that what you see on screen is 95 percent actually them. Their stunt doubles had exceptionally boring days warming the bench.
- We love showcasing real regional bands, and in this episode we were able to get both Ruby Velle & the Soulphonics from Atlanta and Blackfoot Gypsies from Nashville performing their own original songs. Shortly after doing this episode, Ruby Velle & the Soulphonics went on to perform at SXSW.
- In the Klaus-Lucien alley fight, Joseph’s stunt double Jeremy left his warming bench and was hurled into that car by an air ram. The crushed windshield you see was the actual result of his impact. He got it in one take, it was amazing, and he walked away without a scratch. All hail professional stunt people.
- The “blood” in the bag that Nathaniel’s drinking from is actually a tasty cherry and pomegranate-flavored corn syrup mixed with a thickening agent for proper consistency.
- While we were filming, our first assistant director Tony got engaged to his girlfriend Katherine! They met working together during the first two seasons of The Originals. Congrats to them.[2]
