[s3e22] The Bloody Crown < ESSENTIAL · WALKTHROUGH >

: To save his family, Klaus accepts a sentence of "agonizing life" via the Tunde Blade. This sacrifice serves as the anchor for a spell cast by Freya, which links the siblings' lives to Klaus and pulls them into a dream world (chambre de chasse) to keep them in stasis until a cure can be found.

: Marcel uses his lethal bite—enhanced with seven-strain werewolf venom—to infect Elijah and Kol. Freya is also poisoned, leaving the siblings on the brink of death.

: Hayley escapes New Orleans with baby Hope and the coffins of the sleeping Mikaelsons, beginning a five-year journey to find a way to save them. Critical Reception
