The Originals season 5 spoilers: Will Hope orchestrate Mikaelson family reunion?

Originals season 5

There are many different things that CarterMatt is hoping to see on The Originals season 5, but at the top of the list could very well be a Mikaelson family reunion. At the time that the premiere episode picks up many of these characters are, unfortunately, going to be many years apart from each other. It’s going to be very difficult for them all to get back together — really to the point where some characters may consider it impossible.

Luckily, teenage Hope Mikaelson is one of the few characters who doesn’t feel that way. She still remembers from her childhood what it was like having her family around and there’s a part of her that is going to miss it. As a matter of fact, she’s going to do what she can to bring everyone together … with a little bit of help, of course:

Speaking in a new interview with TVLine, show creator / showrunner Julie Plec had the following to say when it comes to how Hope can be the catalyst to this story:

“Hope goes to great lengths, and not necessarily always on the up, to find ways to be reunited with the people that she loves … When you’re a 15-year-old at a boarding school, that involves breaking some rules and possibly relying on some cute, charming, young male assistance to help you escape where you are so you can get home.”

One of the things that we’re most looking forward to seeing when it comes to Hope’s story is simply just getting a better introduction to who she is. It’s hard to speculate on her behavior or capacity for risk-taking when there is so very little known about her. It’s not fair to speculate on her based on her parents; she’s spent so much time at the supernatural boarding school that she may actually take after Caroline more so than anyone.

Ultimately, you have to think that a reunion will happen eventually with her help — and when it does, it should be the emotional tear-jerker many fans have been waiting to see over the years.
