Legacies returns from its mid-season hiatus still focused on our dead trio attempting to get out of Limbo and Hope‘s (Danielle Rose Russell) missing humanity as she shows up in Professor Vardemus‘ (Alexis Denisof) classroom, in a fun reveal, to ask his opinion on the mystic crypt she’s been keeping Lizzie (Jenny Boyd) inside. Eventually Lizzie escapes, but the revelation that Hope is her sire creates a new relationship between the pair as Lizzie can no longer harm Hope and must follow her commands (which the show immediately begins having fun with). Both this storyline, and what unfolds back at the Salvatore School, open a new storyline for the series on the subjects of gods.

  • Title: Legacies – Season Three
  • wiki: link

The Third Season of Legacies continues to focus on Malivore as the Necromancer (Ben Geurens) attempts to bring back the creature. Much of the season also deals with Hope‘s (Danielle Rose Russell) reaction to the loss of Landon (Aria Shahghasemi) whose return would be teased in a number of ways. We also see the exit of Rafael (Peyton ‘Alex’ Smith)  as a core character and the introduction of a new character in the muse Cleo (Omono Okojie) whose past connection to Malivore makes her an ally, albeit one with secrets, and the struggle to keep the school open when many parents pull their children out of a place where monsters attack on a daily basis.

All 16 episodes are collected on DVD. Highlights of the season include the Star Wars inspired episode, Josie (Kaylee Bryant), Hope, and Lizzie (Jenny Boyd) spending time in a cult, and a musical episode.

Working as the show’s mid-season finale, “I Can’t Be the One to Stop You” plays on subverting expectations as Lizzie (Jenny Boyd) catches up to not-Hope (Danielle Rose Russell) who is actually Aurora de Martel (Rebecca Breeds) walking around in Hope’s body and we’re teased with a team-up between the two prior to Lizzie helping Hope get back her body. However, what she earns for her trouble is a broken neck (although not apparently a lasting death). Despite a tease that Hope’s humanity had returned, our tribrid remains an emotionless killer who now has an undead friend to deal with (along with a crazy vampire still plotting revenge).

Hope‘s (Danielle Rose Russell) mission to take down the Triad heats up before the episode, and the season, takes an unexpected turn. After eliminating both the witch and werewolf factions, Hope runs into trouble during her confrontation with the re-introduction of The Originals character Aurora de Martel (Rebecca Breeds) who is still holing animosity to Klaus and his entire family. In a season where Hope has become the potential new big bad, Aurora brings back the idea of The Originals body-swap to give her control of Hope’s nearly indestructible body.

The western theme of the episode comes from Lizzie (Jenny Boyd) taking a trip into the therapy box where she becomes the daughter of a schoolteacher to be hung at dawn for the violence caused by a murderous outlaw Hope (Danielle Rose Russell).
