The Originals recap: 'Wild at Heart' 

'The Originals': Leah Pipes pitches a potential Cami spin-off

EXCLUSIVE VIDEO: 'The Originals': Nathaniel Buzolic returns as Kol

Between vampire Cami, the return of Kol, and the fact that a children’s toy could be the thing to kill the Originals, there’s a whole lot to love about this episode. And I haven’t even talked about the part where Elijah unbuttoned his shirt and hopped in a pool. Let’s recap!

We start at a Strix dinner — surely this can’t be all their members, right? — where Aya pays tribute to Tristan before calling in her witch, Ariane, to reveal whether everyone around the table can be trusted. Apparently, Ariane and her fellow witches looked at the heart of each individual to see if their motives were pure, and somehow, Marcel passed the test. With that, Aya informs them all that they must stick around through the end of the prophecy, because a threat to their sire is a threat to them.

It’s a notion that Elijah shares when Aya call him. He knows that there’s a weapon out there that can kill an Original, and Elijah’s top priority is finding it. Klaus, however, has a different top priority: inding Cami, who’s finished up a few blood bags and hit the town. Yeah, giving her a daylight ring probably wasn’t Klaus’ best decision (though it definitely wasn’t his worst, either).

Just then, Hayley shows up at the compound with the news that Cami left early this morning. She then asks if she and Hope can move back in. As Klaus puts it, the upside to being a part of the Mikaelson clan is “you will always have a home here.” (The downside is that you’ll probably die.)

Elsewhere, Cami’s enjoying herself at Rousseau’s, where she compels some local jerk to empty his bank account and use it all to tip the bartender. And also to wear his baseball cap like an “adult,” which is amazing. But of course, it takes Klaus about two minutes to find Cami and convince her that if she needs to learn about being a vampire, she might as well learn from the best. (Define “best” though.)

So while Klaus coaches Cami, Josh tries to help Davina, who’s being ignored by all the local witches. (That’s essentially the definition of being shunned, to be fair.) But when Aya pulls up and takes Davina away, she has a proposition. Apparently, the Strix has its own coven called The Sisters. And it just so happens that they’re the only coven capable of casting the spell to raise the dead. If Davina promises to join the Sisters, they’ll bring Kol back.

With the spell in hand, Davina decides she needs some advice from the only witch she trusts, which is Kol. So her plan is simple: Take some poison that stops her heart, head to purgatory, ask him if the spell is real, and then return to the land of the living using her connection with Josh. Josh obviously hates this plan but is left with no choice when Davina takes the poison without asking.

Just like that, Davina wakes up in purgatory — which is really just an empty New Orleans, which would suck, to be honest — where she runs into Kol. Only, this time, he looks a little different. See, she fell in love with Kol as a witch — a.k.a. with Daniel Sharman’s face — and now, Kol is a vampire, which means he has Nathaniel Buzolic’s face. Thankfully, he still has an accent and the good old Kol charm to prove himself. Now, they have to get to a place where the ancestors won’t find them.

Fun fact: Ancestors hate pubs! And luckily, there are a ton of those in NOLA, so that’s where Kol takes Davina. But their reunited kiss is less than satisfactory. Kol’s worried she preferred the other look, but she claims she’s just adjusting. As she later tells him, “And for the record, I like this face just fine.” I mean, have you seen it?!

But when Davina shows him the spell, he claims it’s a fake. He’s obviously lying, but only to protect her. He recognizes that the spell must’ve come from the Strix coven and warns Davina that she should find another way. “Nothing is worth what they’ll make you do.” And that’s when the ancestors find them…
