- Title: Legacies – Everything That Can Be Lost May Also Be Found
- wiki: link
Legacies pulls in several familiar faces from The Originals as Hope’s (Danielle Rose Russell) family makes a concerted effort to reach her humanity. Rebekah (Claire Holt), Marcel (Charles Michael Davis), Kol (Nathaniel Buzolic), and Freya (Riley Voelkel) are all brought back as is the Michaelson family home in New Orleans where the distribution of her father’s ashes becomes the key to giving Hope’s humanity a fighting chance at retaking her body. Fans of The Originals should enjoy the reunions, although I was half-expecting them to find a way to work in the characters who didn’t make it through the show in one form or another. While the episode ends with her humanity restored, her darker self isn’t gone completely suggesting a new status quo for the character moving forward.
The ongoing god storyline continues with more betrayals as the bodies of the gods fall into the hands of Ben (Zane Phillips) whose motivations towards his family aren’t exactly what Lizzie (Jenny Boyd) and Aurora de Martel (Rebecca Breeds) expected. After teasing the possibility for several weeks, the gods have awoken. Can the tribrid and her friends, including Lizzie who has returned home, hope to stand against them? Our heroes have apparently lost a demi-god on their side but may have found an ally in Jen (Piper Curda) whose father isn’t going to be happy with when he learns she didn’t awake them after Malivore’s defeat.
