CHARLES MICHAEL DAVIS: The last episode was the entire grieving process, I think.
What were the last two stages of grief?
Well definitely find out in the next episode how he copes and how he accepts Davinas death.
It makes sense for the vampire grieving process to happen in hour.
[Laughs]Yeah, hes been alive for hundreds of years so hes had practice at it.
Does he consider Vincent an ally at this point?
Hes not a questionable ally as far as intentions go that makes it easier for Marcel to trust him.
Is there anyone else he feels like he can turn to?
Thats the thing: You cant trust Josh because hes there sometimes and thes not there others.
[Laughs]With Vincent, he wears his emotions on his sleeve.
So Marcel cant trust anyone whos stoic, which means hes really never trusted any of the Mikaelsons ever.
So I think theres a little bit of relief with Vincent.
I now want an episode of Marcel yelling Use your words!
[Laughs]Im not a mind reader for Christs sake!
When you say theres nothing going on, I dont know what that means!
You cant keep saying youre fine!
[Laughs]The familys getting smaller and smaller, so theres nothing they can do but stick together.
Is he actually considering taking this serum?
Its hard to say with him.
He can be impulsive, like we saw in the pilot, he just killed Jane-Anne.
His emotions can get the best of him.
You have to think about what state was he in when he received the offer.
The audience will also be trying to get a read on Marcel and where hes at.
Sure, I mean why stop there, why not run for president?
[Laughs]Like Kanye West said, No one man should have all that power.
Im sure Marcels a huge fan of Kanye West.
Im just happy were seeing Marcel again.
He hasnt been too involved lately.
What has he been up to?
He has a book club.
Hes tearing up Amazon.com.
You should see his queue of recently purchased books.
