I also got a tumblr account so that's where I reblogged most of the gifs I used tonight (I wish I knew how to make my own gifs)
Alright so here is a jotted recap of the episode with my initial thoughts included throughout and after the episode. I do it this way because my memory sucks when it comes to recalling things that don't revolve around my OTP for the series.
SEASON 3
Don't forget: light blue are thoughts, red is sneak peek parts
Once again, I apologize for the format if its out of alignment...again -_-
**MAJOR SPOILER ALERT**

My Tumblr Page for 3x14]
Synopsis: AN EXCITING CROSSOVER WITH “THE VAMPIRE DIARIES” - With the threat of the prophecy looming over their heads, Klaus (Joseph Morgan) and Elijah (Daniel Gillies) find themselves rendered useless inside a magical trap, while Aya (guest star Tracy Ifeachor) and The Strix’s coven of witches move forward with a risky spell that could take one of them down for good. Elsewhere, Freya (Riley Voelkel) leads the charge to get her brothers back and enlists the help of Marcel (Charles Michael Davis), Hayley (Phoebe Tonkin) and Stefan Salvatore (guest star Paul Wesley), an old friend of Klaus’, whose unexpected arrival may be the key to their survival. Finally, Davina (Danielle Campbell) moves forward with a dangerous plan that brings her one step closer to reuniting with Kol.
