I suspected when I saw the preview that Klaus ordered the wolves to be killed because Tyler got all the vampires worked up about hybrids. Why would he even want a hybrid army that would be sired to the baby? Maybe he also learned from the hybrid failure in Mystic Falls and isn’t interested in reliving that all over again. Chances are one of them would figure out how to break the sire bond (like Tyler did) and they’d turn on him just like the hybrids did in Mystic Falls.
Although Elijah coming to take Hayley away to somewhere “safe” does make me think he may be planning on taking the child away from Klaus once she’s born. At the moment I don’t think Hayley needs to be “saved” and I’m not sure why Rebekah & Elijah think so. I’m pretty sure Klaus has no plans to harm her/the baby. Elijah and Klaus were on pretty horrible terms in Season 2 of TVD (to the point that Elijah was ready to actually kill him) and I really think Elijah’s interest in Hayley is going to wind up driving them back apart. Klaus did tell him in the last episode that he already thinks that Elijah is going to swoop in and take away the baby and the closer Elijah & Hayley get the more I think that it might happen. I also think that if Elijah takes away Klaus’ only child that could be the final nail in the coffin for them – that’s not really something that they should be able to come back from.
I think Klaus & Hayely really just need to sit down and discuss their situation. It seemed obvious Klaus hadn’t really thought ahead to what was going to happen once the baby was born. I have a hard time imagining Klaus actually taking care of the baby – so it would probably work out better for him to work out some sort of arrangement with Hayley where she’ll take care of baby once it’s born and do things like feed her and change her diaper.
I like Father Kieran. I think that leaving him alive was probably a good idea. Although the incident with the humans really illustrated why Klaus is so horrible at being a leader – he can’t politic. Marcel was able to come to an agreement with the humans and that seemed to be working – why not just leave it alone? Klaus also really doesn’t have any regard for human life so I can’t say that I’m surprised he didn’t give into the demands of the Faction.
I’m really starting to like Josh. I really like his friendship with Davina. He’s the only person who doesn’t want something from her and isn’t using her.
I do like Klaus & Marcel teaming up and working together. I’m not sure how long it’s going to last – but I like it.
Are any of these werewolves actually Hayley’s family or are they just really distant relatives like third cousins twice removed (which most people don’t consider to be family)? I know Shane said her parents were dead and so far we’ve only met Eve but it doesn’t seem like Hayley has met any aunts, uncles, cousins, or long lost siblings yet. Those werewolves have obviously been there for decades and are capable of taking care of themselves – I’m not so sure they appreciate that Hayley keeps sending in Original Vampires to “protect” them.
As memory serves back on TVD Elijah told Elena that Mikael killed Klaus’ biological father and his entire family once Klaus trigged the curse. Rebekah later told Elena that Mikael went on a rampage and killed half the village. Obviously some of the werewolves survived and they have descendents now – but I don’t see how they would remotely qualify as being Klaus’ family. The paternal side of his family was wiped out by Mikael over a thousand years ago. Maybe he had some distant cousins or whatever back then – but I don’t really understand why Klaus would care at all about their descendants. Klaus obviously didn’t consider the werewolves to be his family back when he was turned into a vampire – he instead chose to go back to Europe and never sought them out and there’s been nothing to suggest that any of the werewolves ever sought him out either. I was completely baffled as to why Klaus asked Father Kieran to protect them. I also don’t understand why Rebekah and Elijah have suddenly decided to care about the werewolves.
I think it would actually be better if Elijah & Rebekah stay put and don’t move in with Klaus. If they’re content to stay where they are I see no reason for them to leave. I don’t understand at all why Elijah thought that Klaus would want to move back in with them though. They obviously can’t seem to all co-exist living in the same house and even back on TVD Rebekah moved out of Klaus’ house and got her own place at the beginning of Season 4.
I don’t understand what’s going on with Rebekah at all. In Season 3 of TVD it really seemed like her and Klaus were really close and that she had pretty much chosen to stick with him. Even once everyone was undaggered and she could have left town with Elijah, Kol or Finn she chose to stay with Klaus. It was in Season 4 after Klaus chose to save Caroline over her and she threw away Elena’s blood that their relationship imploded. I do find it ironic that she’s claiming to try to make amends with Klaus while continuing to try to plot against him with Marcel.
It was obvious that Marcel was never going to chose Rebekah though. If he really wanted to be with her he would have left town with her when she offered. I don’t understand why Rebekah keeps falling for guys who don’t really care about her. We’ve already been down this road with Stefan and Matt (and to some extent Damon – since she did sleep with him twice and was under the impression that he might care about her).
I was disappointed that Davina didn't allow Camille to just leave town.
