The Salvatore brothers keeps Elena locked up but find her almost stoically resistant to their attempts to rekindle her emotions through pain and fear. Warned by Katherine, who wants him out of their lives, against a dangerous witch of the Deveraux coven in New Orleans, Klaus returns there. He finds the city, which he once ruled and fled, dominated by his then friend Marcel Gerard, who refuses to share his secret to control witches. Elijah follows, having failed to make Rebekah abandon the humanity dream and consent in an Originals reconciliation, to offer Klaus an olive branch and seek an alternative way to break their infertility curse. —KGF Vissers

Quotes
Klaus: [lamented] For a thousand years, I lived in fear. Any time I settled anywhere, our father would hunt me down and... chase me off. He made me feel powerless and I hated it. This town was my home once. And in my absence, Marcel has got everything that I ever wanted. Power, loyalty, family. I made him in my image and he has bettered me. I want what he has. I want to be king.
Elijah: And what of Hayley and the baby?
Klaus: Every king needs an heir.

the back door pilot for the Originals

Originals became a fantastic success and this episode was the beginning of that, the introduction to new orleans, Marcel kamile and the rest of the cast of the spin off and it was a interesting way to start off with this episode showcase which shows klaus side of the story while the offical first episode of the originals is from Elijah's point if view.n honestly both version are really great but the Elijah one is a bit better
