‘The Originals’ recap episode 313: ‘Heart Shaped Box’

On The Originals this week, Aurora tries to eliminate the Mikaelson brothers by using Freya as bait.

Klaus tortures the police chief because he can’t find Aurora. Freya argues with him, saying Aurora’s been cloaked. She goes to her room to try another locator spell but it goes haywire. Aurora is in Freya’s room.

Aya asks Davina to work with the other witches. Davina says they would slow her down. All she needs for the delinking spell is the binding agent. She needs Kol’s help. Aya gives her a Hand of Glory candle to open a window to the afterworld. Davina can see Kol until the candle burns away. Aya promises to make it permanent if Kol gives them the needed information.

Klaus and Hayley visit the tree where Jackson’s heart is buried. Klaus offers to keep her busy and distract her from her grief by having her watch over Cami.

Klaus gets a call from Elijah that Aurora has Freya. Elijah found a poem with clues to her whereabouts.

In a cabin in the woods, Freya wakes under the influence of the potion Tristan used to keep Aurora under control. She can’t focus enough to attack Aurora with magic. Aurora shoots her with one of the white oak bullets.

Hayley confronts Cami about stealing the white oak horse. Cami says she needs space to adjust to being dead. Hayley hands Cami her coat and tells her to follow.

Elijah and Klaus come upon Aurora’s cabin. Klaus says the stronger smell of Freya’s blood is coming from the West, so they split up. Elijah takes the cabin, Klaus looks for Freya. They promise that Aurora will die today.

Elijah finds the woodworking tools from the white oak bullets. Aurora puts a gun to his back. He asks for Freya. Aurora says she’s dying, if not already dead. She tells Elijah that she’s waiting for Klaus to find them so he can watch Elijah die.

Klaus finds a marked grave. Freya is buried alive. He digs up the grave, but the inside of the casket says, “Guess Again.” There are dozens of burial sites across the ground. Freya uses her necklace’s connection to Finn to take her blood above the ground for Klaus to see.

Hayley takes Cami to the church arena to teach her how to fight her enemies. Cami says she doesn’t need to fight – she has her dark objects. Hayley says she needs to embrace the fact that she’s a vampire now and learn to defend herself.

Marcel promises Davina that he’ll help her raise Kol if she sticks by his side. Davina lights the Hand of Glory. Kol appears. Aya comes in and tells him he’ll remain a ghost unless he proves useful. Kol says he’ll only talk to Davina.

Aurora tells Elijah that she wishes to kill him to put Tristan out of his misery, as well as to destroy Klaus. Klaus and Freya come through the door. Aurora tries to shoot Elijah but Freya has just enough magic to deflect the bullet. Aurora runs. Klaus goes after her.

Kol tells Davina the spell is impossible to break. She knows he’s lying. He says she won’t like the answer. Someone has to die. Davina figures out she needs an unsired heart – Hayley’s.

Aya asks her witches to listen in on Kol and Davina through the candle. Marcel tries to stop Aya from going after Hayley, but she snaps his neck.

Aurora shoots Klaus in the shoulder. She tries to take another shot, but he impales her with a trespassing sign and disappears.

Hayley is fighting Cami when Davina calls to warn her about the Strix witches. Hayley tells Cami to run, but she takes out the first witch with a dark object. The other witches then debilitate them and try to remove Hayley’s heart by magic.

Klaus knocks the gun from Aurora’s hand. They fight and she gets it back. Elijah shows up and she shoots him in the chest. Aurora runs and Klaus tends to Elijah.

Davina wants to help Hayley. Kol tells Davina if he takes her down, her link to the Strix witches will take them down as well. He uses magic from the candle to knock her unconscious.

Klaus tries to dig the bullet out of Elijah’s heart. Elijah tells him to go after Aurora and kill her instead, but he won’t leave him. To stop Elijah’s heartbeat from moving the bullet closer to his heart, Klaus breaks his neck. He then digs out the bullet.

Aya fights Hayley, but Marcel stops her. He tells Aya the Mikaelsons will kill the Strix before they can do the spell. Marcel tells her to give him a few hours to find a work-around. She gives him until midnight before she kills him and returns for Hayley.

Hayley tells the Mikaelsons that the Strix are trying to break the sire link. She suddenly realizes that they don’t need her heart – they can take one that’s identical to it. During their unification ceremony, Jackson’s heart became her duplicate. Klaus says they need to dig it up to stop the Strix. They need the sire line to remain unbroken so the Strix will help them fight Aurora.

Davina wakes and promises to bring Kol back soon. He tells her Aya doesn’t keep her promises and asks her to leave the coven. Davina says they can take them on together after he’s back. They kiss goodbye and he disappears.

Jackson’s heart has already been stolen. Elijah and Klaus comfort Hayley.

Marcel gives Jackson’s heart to Aya. He says she should thank him for saving the lives of everyone in the Strix. He tells her if she gets in his way again, he’ll find a way to kill her.

Klaus carves a new horse for Hope. He tells Freya that he will always come for her because she’s family.

Aya follows Aurora and offers her help in taking out the Mikaelsons.
