The Originals Season 2 Episode 6 revealed crucial information about the history of the Mikaelson family, namely Klaus' parentage and Esther's bargain so that she could have children with Mikael. Seeing it all unfold is but one reason to watch The Originals online this week.

Elijah remains trapped in his dream state courtesy of Esther while she attempts to persuade Klaus to join her. Should he take her up on the offer, she will put him into the body of a werewolf so that he may live out his days in his true form. She also promises information about his biological father.

Klaus denies her offer and tells her that he refuses on the grounds that she came after his child and family. Esther tells him he doesn't understand and Klaus vows to make her pay.

Meanwhile, Hayley has a plan to free the werewolves from the witches' spell but in order for it to work, Jackson must reclaim his rightful place as their Alpha. He's still licking his wounds over Oliver's betrayal and refuses to have anything to do with saving Oliver and becoming the leader. His mysterious friend Ansel agrees to help Hayley rescue Oliver.

Cami learns the truth about Vincent's identity and decides to use herself to distract him, against Marcel's judgment.
