==Trivia==
*There's a five year time jump, placing the events of this episode in May 2019, 14 months after the events of TVD's series finale.
**In those five years, there was peace with even a truce between vampires and witches.
**There is no truce with the werewolves.
*This is the first season premiere not to feature Kol and Rebekah Mikaelson.
*Hayley tells Mary that she had found a witch to siphon Rebekah's hex and found a cure for Freya's poison.
**Valerie Tulle may be the witch Hayley is talking about as she's the only remaining siphoner besides Josie and Lizzie Saltzman.
*Klaus is now kept chained up in the Mikaelson compound by Marcel.
*Marcel, Josh and Vincent mention Camille.
*Alistair was yet another vampire who was compelled to slaughter his family as well as his entire estate and was used to distract Mikael so that Klaus could escape.
*Hayley demonstrates the ability to transform into her wolf-form and to complete change within a few seconds, which is typically unheard of.
*The beast anti-venom is finally created by Freya, her magic amplified by five dark objects, using Klaus' blood mixed with the venom of seven werewolf packs. It successfully cures Elijah and Kol though there was only enough for two doses.
**Freya's amplified pain infliction spell shows that one only needs to completely destroy a vampire's brain to kill them rather than a complete decapitation. Keelin described this phenomena as "melting".
*This episode marks the 30th appearance of Joshua Rosza on The Originals. He is a recurring character with the most appearances.

:Vincent: "It's a beautiful day outside. Streets are packed with tourists, they're drinking beers, they're chasing beads, headed out on the vampire walking tour of New Orleans. They think it's a myth: just part of our city's charm. Well, we know better. Just like we know that there's a storm coming. This week marks five years since the fall of the Mikaelsons. Five years of peace and we paid a high price for that peace. We witches, we earned that peace. We snatched back our freedom, we severed our link with our ancestors. To take back our city, we back Marcel Gerard. Now since then, we fought hard to build this community and in the next week, as we celebrate our independence, that community will be challenged."

:Marcel: "All right, look, I'm asking you, especially this week, handle your community. Keep them in the cauldron. Find out who's stirring up trouble, and when you do, get 'em to stop."
:Marcel: " I have him right where I want him. He's not going anywhere."
:Alistair: "Then I want to see his suffering with my own eyes."
:Hope: "Do you have to go?"
:Hayley: "I do. But I'll be back very, very soon. And I won't be alone. I'll call you every night before bed, okay? In the meantime, you listen to Mary. Deal?"
:Hope: "Deal."
