The first, and possibly only, appearance by Landon’s mother (Ayelet Zurer) fills in some of the remaining blanks about Malivore and Landon’s (Aria Shahghasemi) connection to it. Heading in as back-up when Landon gets into trouble, Hope Mikaelson (Danielle Rose Russell) and Alaric (Matthew Davis) are able to help convince Seylah than Landon is indeed the son she gave up years ago (while also learning the dark secret behind Landon’s birth and why he is tied to artifacts of the Hell dimension). “Maybe I Should Start from the End” also reveals the existence of a shadowy government agency protecting the pit while also secretly taking out magical creatures on the down low.

The undead come calling in both “Mombie Dearest” and “Death Keeps Knocking on My Door” in a pair of episodes that help to explain just where all the mystical creatures are coming from and why they are so driven to find the knife. On Lizzie (Jenny Boyd) and Josie Saltzman‘s (Kaylee Bryant) 16th birthday the school is visited by Jo Laughlin (Jodi Lyn O’Keefe), their biological mother and the love of their father’s life. In “Death Keeps Knocking on My Door” its Rafael‘s (Peyton Alex Smith) girlfriend (Erinn Westbrook) who returns from the grave. The arrival of each, and the rise of less lovable zombies in the school’s graveyard, can be traced back to the Necromancer (Ben Geurens), the latest forgotten mystical creature who is driven by forces he doesn’t understand to acquire the knife. Geurens proves to be a fun guest-star as he toys with Hope Mikaelson (Danielle Rose Russell) and the others for his own pleasure.

When two students from the rival high school go missing, Alaric (Matthew Davis) sends a team of students to investigate. Paired together on their undercover investigation, distrust continues to be an issue between Hope Mikaelson (Danielle Rose Russell) and Landon (Aria Shahghasemi). When initial evidence points to a vampire, MG (Quincy Fouse) is forced to make a difficult choice and comes clean about Kaleb‘s (Chris De’Sean Lee) nocturnal habits, however the real threat is revealed to be a giant arachnid feeding on the students of the school while searching for the mystical dagger. The arachnid turns out to be a formidable threat, but nothing a trio of witches can’t deal with, but another mystical disturbance and the revelation of Kaleb feeding on local girls raises tensions between the school and local law enforcement.
