A Streetcar Named Desire

A Streetcar Named Desire is a crossover and the fourteenth episode of the third season of The Originals and the fifty-eighth episode of the series overall.
==Summary==
AN EXCITING CROSSOVER WITH THE VAMPIRE DIARIES — With the threat of the prophecy looming over their heads, Klaus and Elijah find themselves rendered useless inside a magical trap, while Aya and The Strix's coven of witches move forward with a risky spell that could take one of them down for good. Elsewhere, Freya leads the charge to get her brothers back and enlists the help of Marcel, Hayley and Stefan Salvatore, an old friend of Klaus', whose unexpected arrival may be the key to their survival. Finally, Davina moves forward with a dangerous plan that brings her one step closer to reuniting with Kol.
==Plot==
Aurora doesn't see a need for Aya's help, as she already has a weapon to kill an Original, which will stop Tristan's suffering at the bottom of the ocean. Aya tells Aurora there's a way to sever the link between the Originals and all vampires.
She has one of her witches, Cynthia, put Aurora in the chambre de chasse to be with Tristan. There, he tells her that The Strix didn't forsake him; and although his body drowns, he can read and play music in the chambre, and see her as well.
Elijah tells Freya where Rebekah truly is, which she is not too happy about. But if Elijah had really died, no one would've known. She speaks about the prophecy; Rebekah has fallen, so that leaves friend and foe. They have many foes, but not many friends. Immediately after she says this, Klaus introduces Stefan to her and vice versa.
Marcel visits Davina, who is almost ready to sever the link. He is worried, as it might not work, and the Mikaelsons aren't happy because they took Jackson's heart to make this spell work. And Jackson was their friend, to both the Mikaelsons and Marcel and Davina.
Freya puts a paste of a rare herb on Stefan, which will mask the wound's magic from serving as a beacon to Rayna Cruz. Stefan asks why everyone is so eager for him to leave, and she tells him about The Strix and what they're trying to do. Elijah gets a call from Hayley; the Crescent Wolves found Aurora.
Hayley finds a bound Lucien, who has nearly desiccated. He tells her to get Klaus out of there. Meanwhile, Klaus and Elijah find Aya and the Strix putting an unconscious Aurora in the back of their car. Cynthia uses her magic on them, chanting; they wake up in the chambre de chasse, where Tristan and Elijah taunt them about their upcoming demise.
Klaus and Elijah's bodies lie in the pool at the Davilla Estate. Aurora brings up Camille into the conversation, to hurt Klaus. Tristan tells Elijah he's grateful for the 100 years compelled to think he was Elijah, as it's taught him how to not be Elijah but instead the opposite.
Lucien warns Marcel and Hayley that it's not just about severing the sirelink, but stopping an execution as well. Aya will test the spell's success by firing a white oak bullet into Klaus; either way, it's a win-win for her, but all of Klaus' sireline will die with him. Stefan joins in to help Marcel and Hayley.
Strix from all over the world are flying in to see the spell truly takes off, so every entrance and exit will be guarded. Stefan suggests Marcel needs to simply get them past the front gate undetected. Freya can't channel Finn's power, since Finn is all for Klaus and Elijah's demise, so she decides to use Lucien to channel enough power to enter the chambre de chasse, to get her brothers out.
Lying in the back of Marcel's car, Stefan and Hayley talk. He scratches the herb paste, which alerts Rayna who immediately heads to his location. They lie in wait, after Marcel gets past the front gate to the Davilla Estate.
Marcel talks to Davina, telling her Aya plans to kill Klaus, and that the spell is too risky. He'll die, and Josh too, if it fails. Davina is upset that he thinks she can't do it, and tells him Klaus has had his turn having power over them all. She's determined to see it through.
Aurora tells Klaus that not only did Elijah rip her and Klaus apart 1000 years ago, but Klaus too ripped Aya away with Elijah and the Strix, all in the name of "always and forever," a concept she believes ensures them both to spend eternity alone. Klaus turns his back to her, to which Aurora says she's struck a nerve.
Now it's Elijah's turn. He says Tristan, aside from his deception and abuse,has repeatedly isolated and abandoned Aurora; Tristan knows what they've all known, that she's a deranged child who can't be left unsupervised. The greatest mercy he ever paid Klaus, Elijah says, was compelling her to leave him. "Et violà," 1000 years later, and Klaus came to that conclusion on his own. Aurora's eyes brim with tears, and Elijah says he's struck a nerve.
Aya and the vampires get distracted by Rayna's arrival. Hayley sneaks in; she and Marcel snap the remaining vampires' neck.
Freya comes into the chambre. Klaus tells her to take the Queens on the chessboard, as the women he and Elijah betrayed represent them. Elijah wakes up first, killing the witches. Klaus wakes up and tries to attack Davina, but she knocks him back and finishes the spell. She faints afterward.
Aya is beyond sad that she's still linked to Elijah, and begs him to use the gun on her or otherwise she'll kill him to end herself. He hesitates, and Hayley comes up from behind and daggers her.
Tristan and Aurora hug each other as the representational chambre falls apart. He goes back to his body, drowning. Aurora is sealed inside the walls where Klaus' painting of her used to be, leaving her to desiccate.
In the cemetery, Klaus tells Stefan to do right by Caroline, and Stefan tells him to do so too, for Hayley, who risked her life for Klaus. 
Klaus nearly falls over. Freya tells him he hemorrhaged an enormous amount of mystical energy, enough to create a nexus vorti. She tells him to get a good night's rest.
Davina is in the attic of St. Anne's Church. She mixes Klaus and Elijah's blood with Kol's ashes, chanting. Kol appears in front of her, naked, and he tells her he never doubted her. They smile at each other.
