Hayley is back, and she is one angry hybrid.
They have bigger problems than their blast-from-the-past buddy Lucien carrying on about white oak remnants and prophecies.
Jackson arrives, with nothing but a tree trunk to cover his bloody, beaten, fully nude body.

How can there be so much manliness in one opening scene?The Originalswriters totally get me.
Unfortunately, if shes caught striking those of her kind, she could inadvertently start a civil war.
After finding some pants, Jackson and Elijah accuse Klaus of doing something to Hayley.
Klaus promises he had nothing to do with the hunters.
Jackson knows that something is wrong.
Its a full moon, and Hayley would never miss time with her daughter.
Elijah laughs, reminding Klaus that Hope is probably going to leave of her own accord one day.
Cami has more important things to do than be Klaus emotional sounding board.
Theres a killer on the loose and a new hot detective to impress.
(PS: How cute is Will Kinney?
Its good to have Jason Dohring back on my small screen.
Be still myVeronica Mars-loving heart!)
It turns out, Lucien is all about challenging authority.
Sounds like someone who may have a splinter of white oak, if you ask me.
She can stay human.
She makes Klaus promise that he will talk to Lucien or worse.
What he cant stop is the sexual tension in that moment.
Elijah conducts business through the open door, inquiring why Luciens Kingmaker corporation insists on killing wolves.
Elijah calls it butchering.
Lucien calls it population control.
Then he starts talking smack about the hybrid Klaus knocked up.
It landed in his jugular.
It was gross and cool at the same time.
Jackson uses this distraction to pounce on Lucien and bite him.
Someone is not playing games and needs to be invited in, pretty hey.
Klaus calls him Brad, Chad, and Brody in one conversation.
It was as awesome as the dudes popped collar.
He compels Brad to hit the road because he needs Freya to perform a locator spell on Hayley.
When she does, Freya cant find her its as if she doesnt exist.
(Thank you cloaking spell.)
All of a sudden, Jackson begins to transform.
Hayley begins to transform too.
We see Davina pleading with the ancestors to keep the curse dormant.
If she does this for Hayley, she can get close to Klaus.
The flame ignites, and both Jackson and Hayley stop transforming.
When daylight breaks, we find Elijah sauntering around the apartment as Lucien struggles with his growing wolf bite.
Elijah informs him that he needs Klaus blood to heal his wound.
Lucien blows him off, irritated that none of this will matter thanks to the pending sire war.
He knows that if he kills Klaus, he will eliminate all of his enemies.
This makes Elijah pause.
Lucien babbles on about how the Mikaelsons are no longer immune to death.
NEXT: Wont you be my neighbor
For Davina, death has already arrived.
Klaus invites Lucien over to drink his blood, but Lucien refuses.
He has his own cure thats tucked away in a suitcase.
Im sure Klaus will be thrilled when he learns of this new fact.
Klaus hangs up with Lucien just in time to see Hayley knock Freya into a brick wall.
Klaus stops dead in his tracks as Hayley beats him silly, begging him to fight back!
She turns around to see Hope, standing by the very dangerous balcony.
Safety first, supernaturals.
Hayley scoops Hope up in her blood-stained arms.
She weeps as Klaus looks on sadly.
My guess is that hes not thinking about germs like I am.
This is a good thing since he wont be allowed in the apartment.
The lease will be in Jacksons name.
Elijah isnt the only one cleaning up messes.
Davina attends the burial service of the 11 witches.
After earlier offering the families a place under her protection, one of the witches sons approaches Davina.
As it turns out, Freya believes that there is a terrible shadow over her brothers and Rebekah.
They will all fall: one by friend, one by foe, and one by family.
Someone call your darling sister.
Its time for the Mikaelsons to stand united again.
Who do you think will be the biggest threat?
Or is it Aurora, who is acting like on the short end of crazy?
And what souvenir will Tristan bring his sister back from New Orleans?
Heres hoping is something more exciting than a Bourbon Street T-shirt.
