‘The Originals’ season 2, episode 5 preview: ‘Red Door,’ and the Nina Dobrev appearance

There has been no season 2 episode of “The Originals” that we have anticipated more than next week’s “Red Door,” mostly because it features the special appearance from Nina Dobrev as Tatia, the woman from Elijah and Klaus’ past. She was first referenced many years ago on “The Vampire Diaries,” but thanks to a new plan orchestrated by forces against Klaus, we’re going to see so much more of it rather than just hearing about it.

Take a look right now at the episode’s synopsis, if you haven’t seen much about the hour already:

“In order to show Elijah (Daniel Gillies) that her plan is what’s best for him, Esther forces him to relive a time long ago when he loved a young woman named Tatia (guest star Nina Dobrev). With the help of Marcel (Charles Michael Davis), Hayley (Phoebe Tonkin) is determined to find Elijah, who has gone missing, but is torn when she discovers that Klaus (Joseph Morgan) is also in trouble. Elsewhere, Cami (Leah Pipes) finds herself in a dangerous situation when Mikael (guest star Sebastian Roche) takes her hostage as a way to lure Klaus to him, and Davina (Danielle Campbell) makes an upsetting discovery about Kaleb’s (guest star Daniel Sharman) true identity. Lastly, a violent confrontation ensues when Klaus comes face-to-face with Mikael.”

While “The Originals” hyped up Dobrev’s appearance in the attached promo, the way that they did it was almost subdued, like they didn’t want to give away everything just yet. Obviously, there is much more here still to come.
