The Originals season 5 episode 13 live stream: Watch online

In the series finale, The Originals will bid farewell to the always and forever Mikaelson clan.

Last week’s episode of The Originals closed with Klaus clutching a white oak stake to his chest. Klaus’ impending death is now not so impending. CW released a photo of the final episode, “When the Saints Go Marching In,” via TVLine. It features Klaus and his family reunited back in New Orleans. If Elijah talks Klaus down from taking his own life, then the white oak stake could still be in play.

We’re on tenterhooks waiting for Klaus’ fate. He threw on his superdad cape in this final season, and it would be out of character for him just to abandon his daughter Hope in the new Legacies series. How will the writers arrange for helicopter parents Caroline and Klaus to be absent from the future escapades of Hope, Lizzie, and Josie?

Will it be a #Klaroline end game or a #Klamille very end, end game?

Amidst Mardi Gras revelry, the original family will say goodbye. Elijah remains set to take the cape of martyrdom from Klaus. Will he absorb the dark magic from Klaus and stake himself? Or have Klaus’ magical antics released a more horrid threat?

As the song lyric title suggests, the end is nigh, and it’s time for a last judgment.

I’m still hoping for the return of Mikael, so Elijah can save his family and redeem himself. Elijah has received forgiveness from his kin for his part in Hayley’s death, yet Elijah is unable to forgive himself for standing by while Mikael abused Klaus centuries ago. It will be a fight to the double death. Take your pick of weapons, lads. Here’s a stake and here’s an old paintbrush made from a tree — presumably, the white oak tree.

On a completely different tangent, let’s see Klaus’ past love Aurora released from her sleeping spell in the basement … Okay, it’s impossible to wrap up every storyline.

Here’s the very brief synopsis:

"Intent on saving Hope’s life, Klaus’ plan will change the lives of the Mikaelson family forever. The series finale."
