The Originals season 5 episode 3 preview: The new Elijah Mikaelson

What lies ahead on The Originals season 5 episode 3? Let’s say that it’s rather complicated. Most notably, it’s a chance to learn so much more about who Elijah Mikaelson is now in the aftermath of losing his memory. This is a very different sort of episode than we’ve seen so far since it could be somewhat intimate and personal. As a fan of Daniel Gillies’ work, this is one that we’re especially excited about. It is rather necessary to get us from where we are in the season right now to where we are going to be by the time in which we arrive at the home stretch. There are relationships to repair and for Elijah in particular, so many important things that he is going to have to re-learn.

If you do want to get a little more insight now as to what’s coming, be sure to check out The Originals season 5 episode 3 synopsis below:

WHO IS ELIJAH MIKAELSON? – In the immediate aftermath of having his memory erased by Marcel (Charles Michael Davis), Elijah (Daniel Gillies) awakens to find himself in the middle of nowhere and without a clue as to who he is. Unable to control his instinctive vampire ways, Elijah encounters Antoinette (guest star Jaime Murray), a beautiful and free-spirited vampire, who helps him navigate his new life. However, a run-in with Klaus (Joseph Morgan) threatens to destroy the peace he’s finally found. Joseph Morgan directed the episode written by K.C. Perry & Michelle Paradise (#503). Original airdate 5/2/2018.

There are of course two other great things about this episode beyond just the Elijah story — Joseph Morgan directing this episode (something we always appreciate) while also getting a chance to see Jaime Murray, one of the most underrated actors of the past several years, play a big part of the story.
