The Originals season 5 episode 5 to be big flashback story

When The Originals season 5 episode 5 comes on The CW on Wednesday, May 16, there is one word we’d use to describe it: Flashbacks. This is going to a chance to head back in particular to 1930’s Germany for a story that could be somewhat mysterious. Does it involve Antoinette? We do think that season 5 episode 5 synopsis suggests that this is possible:

FLASHBACKS TO 1930’s GERMANY – A mysterious clue sent to Klaus (Joseph Morgan) leads him one step closer to finding Hayley. Antoinette (guest star Jaime Murray) opens up to Elijah (Daniel Gillies) after her past comes back to haunt her. Meanwhile, Marcel (Charles Michael Davis) makes a decision that puts him at odds with Klaus. Finally, Hope (Danielle Rose Russell) takes matters into her own hands to fix the mess that she’s created. Riley Voelkel and Steven Krueger also star. Jeffrey W. Byrd directed the episode with teleplay by Jeffrey Lieber and story by Bianca Sams & Jeffrey Lieber (#505). Original airdate 5/16/2018.

If we are seeing a little more of Antoinette’s past, it could be a way to further understand why she is the person that she is. Yet, if it’s not about her, then the possibilities really are endless since there are so many different characters and also avenues to explore with everyone.

Beyond just Antoinette’s story, though, this is a good reminder that the search for Hayley is really paramount to a lot of different characters at the moment. We’re hoping that she’s not MIA for the majority of the season, but it does seem as though we’re going to have some sort of gap of time in which we don’t see her. We just don’t like the idea of The Originals ending without getting a chance to see some more of these characters together — the entire family, Hayley included, is one of the reasons for the series’ great success to date.
