(You know, because five years and 10 months is totally the same.)
Talk about a big to-do list for a single mother.
Inside New Orleans, a.k.a.

Essentially, New Orleans is doing great.
Hes taken up residence in Luciens beautiful penthouse, and hes even got a new sidekick.
Theres even talk of sigils being drawn on walls and secret midnight meetings.
But Marcels not too worried.
If its a witch problem, hell simply talk to Vincent.
Vincent agrees, even supplying the witch community with enough groceries so they dont have to leave home.
(Its there that we meet Maxine, the hot single mom Vincent has his eye on.)
Marcel then heads to the compound to chat with Klaus.
If Marcel throws him a big party, Alistair shouldnt be a problem.
Spoiler: The party doesnt work.
Klaus might be a weakened version of himself, but hes still Klaus.
He likes to feel powerful, needed.
And once he does?
Hell kill Klaus, thereby wiping out the entire family.
Marcel tells Alistair that they will settle things at the Mikaelson compound… at midnight.
Klaus advises Marcel to let him handle Alistair.
Apparently, Alistair only responds to one language and Klaus speaks it fluently.
(Hint: Its bloody.)
Marcel then wastes no time in dragging Klaus out for all to see, chains and all.
NEXT:The Haylijah reunion youve been waiting for
But no one else is dying today.
Marcel steps up and snaps Klaus neck.
He got what he needed, and now he can set everyone else straight.
He tells them that he keeps Klaus alive for his blood, so that he can cure werewolf bites.
He keeps him alive for collateral in case the Mikaelsons return.
And he keeps him alive because he can.
Marcel put him down and he will keep him down.
Now, with all that said and done, its time to celebrate.
(Anyone else having pilot flashbacks?
King Marcel is back!)
Well, because hes Klaus.
I am the source of the approval you seek, the impossible alpha tells Marcel.
Even though Marcel now technically has more power, he still cant escape Klaus shadow.
As Klaus tells him, inside, you are weak.
And thats when Marcel stabs Klaus with the Tunde blade… again.
But with every problem he solves, a new one pops up.
Marcels informant lets him know that theyre popping up all over the city.
Outside New Orleans, a.k.a.
So, leaving Hope in Marys hands, Hayley packs up the Mikaelsons and heads to Austin, Texas.
What if she just needs groceries?
Can you imagine parking that thing?)
Once in Austin, Hayley finds Keelin, the member of the seventh pack.
But when Alistairs men show up, Hayley is forced to speed things up.
She kidnaps Keelin and takes her to a warehouse where she can extract her venom.
And you know what that means!
Then, as he simply stands behind her, she knows hes there.
He then puts his jacket around her shoulders before she turns to kiss him.
Talk about a reunion!
Hayley tells him that shes perfect and that she made her mom promise shed get her family back.
That means theres one person left, and as Elijah says, Lets go get him.
This cant be good.
