Intricate spells, family sacrifices, old bones, glowing blue eyes, angry covens, bloody blades.
Who can keep up?
How are they going to do that?

Like I said, its complicated.
The sacrifice of an Original is even better.
This would have been a light and breezy exchange if Hayley hadnt shown up dampening the mood.
Elijah never came home after going over to Marcels the night before.
Typically, the family would turn to Vincent for help, but hes up against his own problem.
It appears the church has been desecrated as a warning to the covens.
The Hollow wants them to align with her.
How do we know that?
Sofya walks in and tells Vincent.
Her eyes glow that Smurf blue.
Sofya all but flirts with Vincent, taunting him with tidbits of their history together.
Come on, Vincent!
Everyone knows what happens when the Hollows host bodys eyes turn blue.
Vincent strolls into the Mikaelson compound with news.
The Hollow has Elijah and she wants the jaw bone.
PS: Theres not going to be an exchange.
She needs Elijah to die to channel the energy from his sacrifice.
(Thank you, monologue No.
Just as I shout, Let Hope have a crack at it!
the Mikaelsons whisk the young girl away so they can have a family meeting.
Vincents goal is to vanquish the Hollows spirit.
Marcels goal is to save Sofyas body.
Klaus goal is to kill everyone.
Freya and Hayley just want to find Elijah.
My goal is to not develop a headache from all the details Im trying to keep straight.
Vincent suggests they use the element of surprise.
Then Vincent will cast a spell that buries her.
Elijahs death will mean something!
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
Several of us have a problem with ELIJAH being sacrificed.
I vowed a long time ago that I would boycott this show if Daniel Gillies was ever killed off.
There has to be another way.
Freya agrees with me.
She and Vincent are going to study old grimoires and find a loophole if it kills her.
Back at the cabin, the Hollow is toying with Elijahs emotions.
She speaks of brotherly love, family bonds, and how sins pass from one generation to another.
Then he passes out.
Gillies is working on his Emmy reel with this performance.
Freya is feeling angsty too.
Especially when Vincent keeps reminding her Elijah has lived a thousand years.
Hes been there, done that.
What she may not know is that eventually, everything dies!
Freya remembers Finns death.
She also remembers how she trapped Finn in her bejeweled necklace that one time.
Why cant she do that with another brother?
NEXT: The ultimate sacrifice
Get ready for monologue No.
2, courtesy of Freya.
Shes going to make a run at place Elijahs soul in the pendant after the Hollow is stabbed.
Its not going to be easy and its going to take all of her magic.
In other bad news, hes been poisoned for so long he may not survive the process.
Klaus steps in and offers to be the sacrifice.
No one is on board with this plan, but all agree since time is running out.
Klaus watches as Keelin plays with Hope.
He doesnt say goodbye, but Hope feels something is off.
All parties have their marching orders.
Vincent has been given the ceremonial task of executing Klaus with the death thorns.
Joseph Morgans almost-tears were EPIC.
Hes so good at that.
He puts on the pendant and lays down on a concrete slab surrounded by every candle in Louisiana.
He makes her a deal: Sofyas body for the jaw bone he stole from the Mikaelsons.
She puts all of her bones together and stuffs them into that tree.
Marcel stabs her in the back and waits for, fingers crossed, Sofya to wake up.
Remember, this is the moment Vincent is supposed to be killing Klaus.
Vincent tries to talk them down, while Klaus rolls his eyes.
That sacrifice can not be complete.
Why there isnt a phone chain to explain this hiccup in the plan is beyond me.
Which is exactly what they just ran out of.
Outside, Marcel turns to find a huge blue orb lingering.
The Hollow knocks him down and promises to build her kingdom on top of the fallen kings ashes.
Then the Hollow runs (floats?)
to the cabin to stop Freya from messing up her sacrifice.
Klaus arrives just in time to give Freya the pendant so she can stuff Elijah in it!
The plan does not work.
Theres a blue dementor currently sucking the life out of Elijah.
Suddenly, the Hollow explodes and is gone.
Elijah starts to desiccate.
Freya cant put him in the pendant because it is broken into pieces in her bloody hands.
Klaus puts Elijahs body in a coffin in the front room (sure) of the compound.
He begins shouting at his sister to DO SOMETHING.
Freya cant feel or hear Elijah in the pendant.
Her tears are upsetting.
Klaus tears are tragic.
Hayleys lone tear is heartbreaking.
Hes screaming, but hes alive.
Like I said before, give Hope a shot at the Hollow.
I bet she can take her down.
With that said, how is the Hollow out there and Elijah alive?
Is he sort of alive?
Was Elijah fully sacrificed?
Does that make the Hollow weaker?
Did I miss something?
I know she is a definite threat because Vincent tells the witches to leave.
Then he takes a trip to Marcels.
Remember the journal that gave Vincent all that power from the Hollow once upon a time?
The one he gave to Marcel with the instructions to kill me if I ever ask for this again?
Marcel gives it to him.
And promises Vincents death will be quick if things get out of hand.
Let me tell you.
THINGS ARE ABOUT TO GET OUT OF HAND.
Watch out, Mikaelsons.
