Theres faith that Freya can whip up a spell to fix even the most harrowing of situations.
Theres a deep, abiding love for family above all else.
As in the small witch living in the creepy New Orleans compound with a bunch of Originals.

On the outside, hes decaying in a posh coffin.
So, hes mostly dead.
But that doesnt matter in vampire world.
How do I know this?
Because vampires start dropping right and left at a dance party in the French Riviera.
The sibling duo immediately recognize this trend and bolt for New Orleans.
An Original has died and heads are going to roll.
That mind part is the key ingredient.
Otherwise, its like setting a cast with a broken bone.
Say it aint so.
Elijahs confinement isnt the only problem.
Marcel does not receive the recommendation as good news.
Hed rather go solo.
Greatest idea in the history of never.
Marcel finds the Hollow dragging a dead witch and placing the body into a pile of more dead witches.
You know, the same ones who pledged their loyalty to the cause.
Marcel calls her crazy (Does this guy have a death wish?)
and vows to never serve the Hollow under any circumstances.
The Hollow says Sofya is as good as gone.
Thats when Marcel attacks.
He bites her neck and his mouth turns black, right before he starts coughing up acid.
Thats going to hurt in the morning.
She screams at him and his body is pitched into the air and then slammed to the ground.
Magic herself into the pendant and find Elijah in his memories.
Shes transported to a long, white hallway lined with doors.
Each one has a different marker.
This was before he wore collared shirts and ties.
She shutters at the site (me too) and calls his name.
He walks right through her and then disappears.
Freya goes through another door and finds Elijah, properly collared, slaughtering people in the courtyard.
This time he sort of hears her before he disappears.
A door with an M monogram is full of happier memories with the entire family wearing horrific wigs.
Theres still no recognition of Freyas presence.
This is going to take F-O-R-E-V-E-R.
Meanwhile, Rebekah and Kol arrive to help Klaus with a little task.
There are eight thorny stakes of death and the original rose bush that needs to be destroyed by fire.
This trio is on it!
Kol interrogates a witch who mentions that nothing can stop the Hollow, including the ancestors.
Klaus stakes the witch and Kol attacks his brother.
Why didnt he tell him the ancestors were back?
He slips in that Davina has changed in a dark sort of way, but Kol doesnt care.
Klaus tries to explain that the harvest girls are the only ones who can bring her back.
Elijah killed them all.
Another vampire has gone rogue.
Klaus and Rebekah continue to search for the other stakes.
He needs one to save Sofya.
Klaus all but laughs.
Marcel is hunting stakes.
Rebekah and Klaus are hunting Marcel.
Kol is trolling the cemetery for witches.
The Hollow is probably on Bourbon Street wreaking havoc.
There is a solution, though.
She needs more power.
She needs help born from her familys bloodline.
Bonus points if shes adorable and has red hair.
Its Hopes time to shine, people!
With Hope and Freya on the outside, Hayley steps in the circle to locate Elijah.
Hayley sees a red door.
Hayley begs him to look at her.
He does, then vanishes.
Hayley returns to the hallway and slowly approaches the red door.
She finds several dead bodies and spies old-school early Original Elijah feeding on a woman.
Well, it was the torso of a woman.
Also, he sees Hayley and is not a happy camper.
She runs through a back door, screaming for Freya to get her out, and Elijah follows her.
He attacks and she cant seem to snap him out of his rage.
NEXT: Blast from the past
Things arent much better on the outside.
Kol tries to trade dark magic items with some witches in exchange for a conversation with Davina.
They respond by giving him a witch headache and then break his neck.
Across town, Marcel locates the last stake.
Of course, Rebekah steals it.
He asks Klaus to hey let him use the stake to save the one he loves.
Rebekah perks up, asking for the name of this lucky woman.
Marcel shares Sofyas name.
Rebekah softens and gives him the stake since she recognizes that Marcel is fighting for love.
He used to look at her that way too.
Everyone gets a little teary, except Klaus who manages to refrain from rolling his eyes.
Marcel promises to burn the stake once Vincent has siphoned out the magic.
Back at the compound, sweet Hope is freaking out that her mom is seizing in the circle.
Freya agrees to let Hope in the pendant (YES!)
with the understanding that she is forbidden from opening doors.
Hope hops in the circle and Freya magics her in.
While Elijah is beating the crap out of Hayley, she hears Hope call out for her.
A maternal instinct to protect her daughter gives Hayley the power to overcome Elijah.
She takes off back to the cabin, only to be cornered by Elijah again.
This time, he bites her.
Hope starts screaming for her mother.
Hayley begs Hope to stay there.
He swears he is himself before apologizing to Hayley for nearly killing her.
Hope returns to the real world, followed by Hayley.
They leave Elijah in the hallway to think about what hes done.
Now its up to Freya to get him out.
Rebekah asks Freya to drop Elijah in another body.
I stand up and threaten for the third time this year to quit this show if that happens.
Thankfully, Freya says Elijah has to remain in his body.
Its going to take a big sacrifice to get him out.
A sacrifice like the Hollow.
In the courtyard, Klaus applauds Hayley for saving the day.
He immediately realizes she is shaken to the core.
Klaus knows she saw things and reminds Hayley they are all monsters.
Hes the best of the Mikaelsons.
He always has been.
She wants him to do the same, but he already has one foot out the door.
He places a white rose in Davinas headstone and it immediately dies.
Well hello there, Hollow.
Naturally, she tells Kol she can bring Davina back to life.
Then she actually does it!
What in the world?
With a swipe of a knife through her palm, Kol hears Davinas scream.
He finds her in a crypt looking fresh as a daisy.
Her hair is flawless.
Kol reaches to embrace Davina in her cute off-the-shoulder sweater dress but is denied by a force field.
Davina and the Hollow are linked.
If Kol wants to keep Davina safe, he has to belong to the Hollow.
Much like Marcel, Kol will do anything for love.
Including selling his soul to the devil.
