‘The Originals’ season 3 spoilers: Joseph Morgan directs ‘Behind the Black Horizon’

Originals -There are some big events coming on “The Originals” later this season, and who better to oversee some of them than the show’s male lead? Joseph Morgan is behind the April 8 installment entitled “Behind the Black Horizon,” and at the center of the story is going to be a kidnapping.

Also, this just so happens to also be the episode that will bring you an appearance from Zach Roerig as Matt, as the synopsis below makes it clear that he won’t be too thrilled to see two members of the original family in Mystic Falls:

“When its discovered that Freya (Riley Voelkel) has been kidnapped and is in the hands of a dangerous new threat, the Mikaelson brothers are forced to put aside their differences in order to save her before it’s too late. Following a lead that brings them to Mystic Falls, Elijah (Daniel Gillies) and Finn (guest star Casper Zafer) run into deputy Matt Donovan (guest star Zach Roerig), who does not take well to new vampires in his town. Meanwhile, Klaus (Joseph Morgan) and Hayley (Phoebe Tonkin) work together to uncover the motive behind one of Lucien’s (guest star Andrew Lees) secret agendas, while a troubling shift in Kol’s (guest star Nathaniel Buzolic) behavior leaves Davina (Danielle Campbell) concerned for their future together.”

For people who are super-particular about the timeline, one of the interesting things about this story will be getting another chunk of Matt’s missing time between where “The Vampire Diaries” ended up earlier this season, and where it jumped forward before it went on hiatus. This is going to be a fascinating episode, and we imagine that the tables will have turned for at least some of the characters. At the top of the list could certainly end up being Kol or Davina.
