I am 100% sure Shannon originally planned for Fitz to be the only love interest. Keefe just suddenly popped up out of nowhere and she saw that he was the only real match for Sophie...

In Halifax, Nova Scotia
Elijah woke up before anyone and sat down in the garden of the house they were inhabiting while they were in Nova Scotia. Taking a photo from his bag, his mind wondered back to the events a few months back.
Tumblr media
Flashback
Mystic Falls, The Mikaelson House
"I suppose you are who I think you are!" Elijah said coolly.
The woman was calm not fearing the vampire and then introduced herself.
"My name is Eilif. I am Esther’s cousin -like you have been told by my messenger."
"Where is Klaus?" the vampire wanted to know, still not moving or showing any pleasant emotion to the woman.
"Your cousin is safe," the woman replied, "but at present I cannot tell you where his body is - not before we resolve the family matter and his allegiance to this family."
"What family? Klaus is my brother!"
"No. He is your cousin - as I am your mother!" the woman said looking at the vampire with apprehensive, but steady eyes.
“What are you talking about? You are not my mother - my mother is Esther.”
“No, she is not. It is a long story. The time has come to reveal your true identity.”
“What?” Elijah looked at the woman in completely disbelief. Elijah drew a deep breath.
“I am a norn. A being that dwells between the world of men and the world of keepers of universe, living in the place the humans called heaven, but in actual fact my home is the wind, the river, the woods, the mountains, the gletschers, the meadows. We are keepers of  nature, we can see and hear things but can never meddle, unless the elders ordered it in certain occasions. This time I could not stand by and let you, my son, nor your cousins be warned of the danger that is arising. I could have left you clues, but my mother's heart prevailed this time. I wanted to step out many times and made myself known to you, especially after you had become a vampire. That had changed so much for me. You becoming a supernatural being, made it more easily to follow you.”
“Are you ok?” Elena said breaking the Original’s thoughts as she stepped out into the garden.
“I am fine. Just - thinking about - everything - her.” Elijah said putting the frame with the picture down on the table.
“It is kind of still mind-blowing that you are - a prince.” Elena said.
“I am not.”
“But your father was a king.” Elena then said. “This is so like Games of Thrones.
“Excuse me?”
“Nothing. It’s a TV show - and books - nevermind. She said that more is to come and that all this with the Hundings is far from over.” Elena now reminded the vampire.
“Yes.This is why I wish I could get in touch with her.”
“She said that she won’t be able to come back - or?”
“There must be a way.” Elijah said, and then put a small smile on, his eyes sparkling with warmth. “I wanted to tell you that I - had fun last night - as Kol would put it.”
“I’m glad. We need to have fun. Too much sad things happened - and Caroline and - other would want us to have fun, too. But talking about Caroline - I called Jeremy this morning. They didn’t get in touch with him. He tried, but it looks like the link is broken or something.” Elena said.
“Well, one good thing is - they are together.” Elijah said.
“Yeah. And we haven’t lost them completely.

Meanwhile
In Yarmouth, Nova Scotia
Francesca Guerrera sat down with one of her confindantes.
"You done it?! And did you manage to find the amulet?!
"No. The old woman wouldn't talk. It wasn't in the house." Oliver said.
"We need it for the unification ritual,"Francesca said,"it's in their family. Where the hell has the woman hid it?!"
"According to the legend you need the blood of the werewolf trinity of the three oldest bloodlines...and Jackson is dead?! Plus, the ancient witch that apparently has the spell still is nowhere to be found?!"
"I have it all covered. I will let you on a little secret if you promise to be the faithful wolf you swore in blood to be."
"I swore more than that my Queen" Oliver said.
"I know. This will also be a test of your fidelity" Francesca said.
Oliver now eagerly waited for her to let him in on the secret and she said smirking, "Jackson Dumas is alive!"
"Why the pretence?!" Oliver shoot up.
"To break Hayley's spirit."
"But she still has the girl. How is it breaking her spirit?!"
"You are one dumb wolf. Sexy, but dumb. You don't know about anything if love, being alpha and wolf families?! "
"The whole pack would look after the young?!"
"Not if you prove that the young is not from their bloodline" Francesca said.
"Hayley had the girl with someone else and not with Jackson?! But he claimed her as her own?!"
"Yes. But her father comes from an ancient bloodline too. And we have the trinity we need. It worked perfectly"
"Who is the father of the child?!" Oliver asked.
"Mason Lockwood" Francesca said.
*
In Halifax
Kol woke up with a slight headache. The magical herbs to control him had a side-effect and he hated taking them, but he knew that if he stopped, he wouldn’t be able to keep his blood lust under control, as well as his temper.
Too many werewolves in the club proved to be too much for Kol. It was good Elijah managed to anticipate Kol's seizure moment when he ripped into a woman. He managed to get him off, compelling the woman to forget what had happened. Elena was right behind him to heal the girl. To Bonnie it looked like they just did everything in two seconds. Kol was fuming, but Elijah was convincing enough to bring him back into his mellow state somehow.
“Good morning” Elijah said to his brother Kol as he and the other’s joined him in the kitchen.
"I thought you have things under control?!" Elijah said angrily, but still in a very calm manner.
"I don't need a babysitter?!" Kol sifted.
Elijah sighed a little. He didn't want to continue with the argument or act like a smart older brother.
"It wasn't my intention, but you have to exercise control. You need to manage it a little bit better! We don't want to attract unwanted attention. At least not till we get more information." Elijah said.
Kol agreed. Controling his emotions and instincts have never been his strong point, not even as a child. His heart ached for being tossed away by Sophie, spuring emotions that made him want to lash out.
Elijah's phone buzzed and he looked at the message that Elena sent.
'Following a guy with a triple crescent tattoo. Couldn't be compelled"
He updated Kol about the message.
"So, the night proved to be fruitful. You know what such good luck means?!'
"Yes. Too good to be true. They know we are here!" Elijah said.
"You are not worried about Elena?!" Kol asked.
"She can handle herself. She is not a hopeless little girl"
"No, she is very much a shield-maiden, I see why you admire her so much." Kol said. "I admire her for a lot more than her ability to fight."
“You’re in love with her, aren’t you?”
“And what if I am?” Elijah said tilting his head making a little pout.
"Not surprising - knowing your history with the doppelgangers.” Kol remarked.
“This is different. Also, everything about me and Tatia wasn’t true.” Elijah said.
“About you killing her, but that night at Samhain - you were together?”
“We were - but -”
“What?”
“She didn’t want to commit.” Elijah said.
“Oh, really?”
“Yes.” Elijah said followed by a silent sigh.
“I am out. Still hungry. This pig’s blood is vile.”
"I thought you’d be homebound. Wasn't Sophie supposed to be here by now -or is your heart swayed in another direction?!" Elijah referred to Kol and Bonnie’s good time the night before.
"The Bennet witch?! Hm -she’s got spunk, I must admit that." Kol said chuckling a bit.
*
Elsewhere
Elena and Bonnie followed the crescent tatoo guy to his destination. He walked into a house that looked very expensive, in a wealthy part of the city.
"He couldn't be compelled." Elena said to Bonnie."But it wasn't vervain?!"
"It was hilarious watching you play a silly drunk explaining to him that you see psychodelic something in his eyes. Still can't get over it that you can do all vampire stuff and you are not one?!"
"Feels weird too, trust me. I can be an actress, right! Never thought of that"
"We are now high school drop outs." Bonnie remarked.
"I know. When all this is over, I will do school. Did you know that Elijah actually has degrees in arhitecture, World literature several times over."
"He seriously went to university?!" Bonnie couldn't believe it.
"Yep. When he was a man, it was expected of him to be a warrior and a farmer, but he loved construction."
"So weird when you talk about them as normal humans who had dreams and wishes," Bonnie remarked,"so, what’s this thing about you doing drama?! I thought you wanted to be a doctor?"
"I don't know. I wanted to be a doctor like my dad, but now I don't know."
"The way things go, I kinda doubt we will ever have a normal life." Bonnie said. “It also gets me that you are this enhanced human and that you can compell and do like everything the Originals do.”
“It’s crazy - yeah. Ok. Let’s look for the - whatever we are looking for.”
They collected enough info about the place. Elena now called Elijah. The witch and the doppelganger caught a taxi and went back to the Compound.
*
Back in the Mikaelson’s current compound
"When the witches channelled the Hunding magic and their covens, the balance between our two worlds was disturbed." Sophie said over the  video call from New York.
"Right, and that means exactly what?" Rebekah said waiting for a very bad answer.
"It's our fault, too." Sophie continued.
"Sophie, please no riddles. Tell us what is going on?!" Rebekah urged the witch to speak clearly.
"They used a very potent dark magic. And I have done that too, with enhancing your ability to fight against them."
Stefan now jumped into the conversation, "And now we have strange side effects, right?!"
“Yep.” Sophie said.
"I don't feel anything." Rebekah uttered.
"Not yet. I tried to check things out about it, but I have no knowledge of it. I will need to get to Eilif somehow."
"Elijah said that she would not be coming back?!" Rebekah said.
"Well, we need to get hold of her. The disturbance is not only here, but also in the spirit world." Sophie said.
"Don't tell me that Sigrid Mikaelson has something to do with it?!" Rebekah scoffed a little.
"I have not found anything about her. That is why we need Eilif." Sophie replied and looked at Elijah, who came into the living room.
“Can you get to - my mother?” Elijah asked.
“I will try.” Sophie said. “We need answers.”
“Right.” Elijah said, and updated the witch on Elena and Bonnie finding the place where the triple crescent guy lived.
“They are something called ‘the shadowhunters’ - directly linked to Hell,” Sophie said, “and according to what I know - the Hell witches!”
“Hell witches?!” Elijah repeated.
“Yes. Do you know about them?”
Elijah went quiet, nodding a little.
“Right, you guys, I will see what else I can find here. See you in NOLA soon.” Sophie said.
“Yes.” Rebekah said and as Sophie hung up, she turned to Elijah. “You ok?”
“Yes, I’m fine.”
“You are still our brother, same as Klaus. Nothing’s changed.” Kol said.
“I know - still - “ Elijah started but stopped.
“It’s always and forever no matter whether you are a Mikaelson or not.” Rebekah said. 
“Thank you.” Elijah put a small smile on. So many things had changed in the past months, some good and some awkwardly unusual. With all the strange revelations, they were closer than ever, and his heart was glad.
*
In the spirit world, Klaus and Caroline found themselves in an unusual place, as they finished their talk with Lexi, and as they tried to get out of Caroline's house, they found themselves in Yarmouth, Nova Scotia. But there was no town, only a viking settlement.
"Where are we?" Caroline asked. "I know this is so weird in this world, but how do we get to do time traveling?"
"There is no time here." Klaus explained." I believe this is some foul magic."
"And I thought, being dead will exempt us from the whole thing." Caroline said.
"Well, the note about finding Sigrid Mikaelson didn't come by regular post?!" Klaus said.
"No. It would be too weird to have something regular." Caroline said. She looked at him now as there was a certain change in him as if he got fond memories return to him from time passed. "You look like you have come home?!"
Klaus smiled a little in his usual fashion and took her by the hand, "Come...let us walk through the village."
Soon it was clear to them that they could not be seen by the people. They could not hear them, but only observe them. Till a woman came up to them. Klaus recognized straight away by the woman's dress that she was a witch. She addressed him in old norse, asking him to follow her into the woods.
"Ok- can you translate?" Caroline sifted.
"We are ghosts and before that we were vampires and she actually summoned me!"
"You, of course!" Caroline was miffed.
"Sorry love, us." Klaus said.
"I bet it is a Mikaelson thing" Caroline remarked.
They stopped at a point in the woods where a white oak tree stood among different pine trees.
Caroline could see Klaus cringe seeing the tree.
Then the woman spoke again in old norse, "What is she saying?" Caroline was annoyed for not understanding a word.
"Basically, the Hell witches spoke to her and apparently the disturbance in the spirit world believe it or not is ours to resolve," Klaus turned to Caroline, "according to her, the Gods have sent for us"
"Gods, right?! What else will I hear, seriously, does she know that we are vampires?!"
"Actually, we are not vampires anymore, just ghosts, who apparently according to her have a direct link to Asgard!" Klaus smirked a little.
Caroline rolled her eyes and huffed.
They could both see that the witch looked in awe and slight horror as she saw a woman appear  from nowhere and addressed Klaus and Caroline.
With a hand wave she closed the veil between the witch and them.
"She needn't know what is coming yet!" Skuld, one of the norns said to Caroline and Klaus.
"Who are you?" Caroline wanted to know.
"My name is Skuld, people refer to me as the norn of the future, although fate is such a diverse thing and it is interwoven like the roots of Yggdrasil. If it wasn't so all would be so much easier. Anyway, not to divert from the serious matter, which is the disturbance in magic and balance of the natural world.  We can hear, see, know things but we cannot directly participate, although it has been done before, and because of it mayham is in front of our doors."
"This is going to be lengthy!"- Klaus then said.
Skuld smiled a little "yes, it will. It started a long time ago, people say before time. Vampires, that you were, are also creatures from before time. "
"Just tell us what we have to do! I guess we have to save the spirit world?!"- Caroline interrupted.
"Yes. If you put it that simply. I am here to pass my magic to you and make you a valkyrie, although you already are one!" Skuld said to Caroline taking hold of her hand.
Caroline could feel the same surge of magic go through her as Sophie had done with the enhancement spell.
Caroline could now sea a seal on her wrist as if she was branded. Klaus heard stories as a boy about shield-maidens who would tatoo the valkyrie wings.
"The Hell witches are like no other witches you have seen so far. They will use magic and swords like they are one." Skuld said.
Caroline now looked at her and asked her about how and when it was going to happen.
"You will know. Soon. Gather your army. I will see you again.” Skuld said and as she appeared, she disappeared.
"Ugh, this is exactly like it happened with Elijah's mom!! They come and go and leave you with no real clue!!" Caroline said and then looked at Klaus as if she just realized what had happened. "Am I supposed to lead a ghost army against those Hell witches?!"
"It appears to be so!" Klaus said smiling at her cheekily and looking at his beloved with great admiration, before he pulled her into a kiss, "I knew there was something so much more to you!”

Flashforward
Tumblr media
”We should check everything about the Hell witches. I remember reading about them once when I lived in Marrakesh in the 13th century.” Elijah said.
”We go to Marocco?” Elena cocked a quizzical eyebrow at the Original.
” Yes. There is someone I used to know. An old acquaintance of mine, Aya Al-Rashid knows about them.”
”Ok. Let’s go then.”

Tam and Linh don't have a destination, they have a direction: north, away from their pursuers and their past, and hopefully towards a new life where the twins can live in safety. Sophie and Dex think they have a good thing going-- two cousins, slaying vampires and evading the law. That's all about to change.

“I think there’s something nearby,” Linh whispered. She shook her head. Tam hated how tired she looked. Tired, and small. “It’s the voice again. I think. It’s quieter, but…” “It’s still there.” He squashed a surge of frustration. “Well, at least it’s being helpful this time. Do you know how far?” She stopped walking, putting out her hand to halt him. The rain ran over her fingers and into her face as she tilted her head back. “It’s… near. A quarter of an hour’s walk, maybe. But--” she stiffened, her nails digging suddenly into his arms. “But there’s danger nearby, too.” Her eyes flew open, sharpening as she looked at him. “Be wary.” He pulled his arm back, unsettled. “Danger nearby. Got it.”
