Trivia

 * This fight has shown a new side of Elijah. How much is this battle with the Trinity going to affect his position as the moral compass of the group?Narducci: What we're going to try to do is unpack some of Elijah's (Daniel Gilles) history and show you that this nobleman has this pretty interesting fatal flaw.Yes, he has ethics, principles and a code that he follows but you understand that he has a very strict hierarchy where anything can be thrown out the window if it is in service of family. He's done some bad things that he had no reason to do bad things to, but he did it in service of family. Going forward, particularly in one of the first episodes of the new year we're going to see some of Elijah's back story. We're going to examine his relationship with The Strix. We're going to understand that he believes very much in always and forever, and in doing so he may have condemned himself to a very difficult immortal existence.
 * Who could ever get by Klaus, even if he’s sleeping, and how? That is something that you should be asking. We will definitely reveal the answer and all the details very early in the first episode back.
 * When will we see the plan to make their “parents” go away start percolating? We will see the chaos of Tristan’s plan in episode 10, the first one back in 2016. The Trinity want to use this medallion which can lock their sires away forever. If the Originals are locked away, they cannot die. This means their sire line cannot die, and an eternal imprisonment for the Originals, which is a fate worse than death. But that is what Tristan (Oliver Ackland) and Lucien (Andrew Lees) and Aurora (Rebecca Breeds) seem to want at the moment.
