## Throughout the Originals

### Season One

In *Always and Forever*, Alex, Elijah, and Klaus are in the process of moving into the house. Elijah, Rebekah, and Klaus all mention at some point that they were happy as a family the first time they lived in New Orleans. They have currently taken up residence with Elijah in this house because Marcel is currently occupying their former family home, The Abattoir. However, Klaus quickly daggers Elijah in his study in this house, after which Alex takes to sitting in the same study reading Elijah's journal in his absence. Alex also made Klaus allow Hayley to stay with them here in the house.

When Rebekah arrives in *House of the Rising Son*, she tells Alex about a time when the siblings were visitors in the house – back in 1820, when the house belonged to the governor of New Orleans. In the present day, she and Alex search the house from top to bottom for Elijah.

In *Tangled Up In Blue*, Klaus is seen in the basement of the mansion, compelling Josh, one of Marcel's new vampires, to drain another of blood to get all the vervain out of his system so he too can be compelled. Sabine and Alex are seen in the kitchen trying to determine the gender of Alex's baby.

In *Fruit of the Poisoned Tree*, Elijah, Sophie, and Alex are in the pool trying to lower Alex's temperature to stop her from miscarrying her baby. When Marcel comments about not being invited to the house, Klaus tells him he'll have to ask Elijah, who he is sure would love to host Marcel and Davina after their recent hospitality to him.

In *The River in Reverse*, Klaus moves out of the house taking Alex with him, after a falling out with Elijah and Rebekah over both of their recent betrayals.

In *The Casket Girls*, Alex returns here to find out the location of Celeste's grave from Elijah's journals.

In *Crescent City*, Elijah asks Rebekah to take Alex to the Plantation House in an attempt to keep her away from the war festering in the Quarter. Alex agrees to stay there only if she can host a house party for the Crescent Clan werewolves who will be in human form due to the full moon. Rebekah loses track of Alex while dancing with the werewolf, Oliver at the party while Alex meets Jackson and Arielle inside. After the witches with the help of the werewolves subdue Rebekah; they trap Alex, Jackson, and Arielle in the house by setting it ablaze. Elijah rescues them and while he searches the nearby woods for his sister; Alex, Jackson, and Arielle stand outside and watch as the house burns.
