Season 2, Episode 22 (Ashes to Ashes)

I started watching The Originals because I loved these characters when they were in The Vampire Diaries. I wanted to see how they were when they weren't part of the cast of The Vampire Diaries, so I decided to give it a try.

And I fell in love with the show right away. I loved the entire first season and the entire second season. It's just as addicting as The Vampire Diaries. You get attached to the characters and their lives.

They are back to a town that they considered home a long time ago and try to rebuild what they once had as a family. But of course, things never go the way anyone wants them to. There is constant bloodshed. Plans and betrayal. You don't know what is truth or what isn't. Whether someone is good or bad.

One thing, even at times it could be a lost cause, these sibling always come back to is family. It means the most to them after being together for centuries and enduring what their mother brought down onto them. No matter the betrayal that the siblings cause upon each other, they always stick together. Though Klaus daggers them. They are still there for him.

Onto the episode, since it was the second season finale.

In the previous episode, it seemed that Klaus was betraying everyone. If you know Klaus you would know that yes, he does betray his family, but he has reasons for doing everything he does. So I didn't believe he would outright betray everyone.

In this episode, we get to see what he was really up to. And boy was this episode a roller coaster. So many things happen. (I'm not going to go into detail because I don't want to spoil anything.) He figured out what needed to be done to get rid of the threat. Trying to get his family to be on his side and agree was the harder part. In the end, things work out the best you could expect. Klaus even showed raw emotion. He doesn't show emotion, often and when he does, I love seeing it. Yes, he is a bad guy, but he isn't at heart. He is just doing what he can for those he loves. He goes about everything in a bad way, but he does care.

The season didn't end on a major cliffhanger, but has left me with questions nonetheless. I can't wait until season three, so I can see what the characters are going to do after all that has happened to them.

Does anyone watch this? If so, how do you like seeing the Mikaelson's having their own show?
