The Originals: Any Hope For Haylijah?


Can they get the magic back?

             Since season 1, Elijah and Hayley were my favorite couple and it seemed that they would go off on a romantic adventure but in "Rebirth" we see how things between them have drastically changed. Hayley is going through a very rough time after she had to give up her daughter and pretend that she's dead. But is this a minor set back?


The brooding Elijah is smoldering

         Why must Elijah be so self sacrificing? Also why does it make him even hotter? Elijah's been around a temperamental, immature, emotionally infantile person for a thousand years to know what they need to cope, but given that Hayley has a bit of nobility of her own I suppose he thought she would mourn then get back up on that horse but instead she's eating said horse and a few witches. Not to say that Elijah is sexist but he's old fashioned. He's used to being the knight in shining armor but he sees that Hayley is not the damsel in distress type. Elijah's right to be concerned that perhaps Hayley's baby daddy is being a bad influence (despite the fact that it was Elijah who told Klaus to grieve with Hayley instead of alone).  


Hayley seems very forgiving

       As for Hayley she's having an identity crisis and it doesn't matter if she's now half vampire she's still going to fight for the wolves. Even if that means partnering up with Oliver, that traitor. Klaus is the same way. He's fighting for the wolves of his biological father's pack so he and Hayley are going to bond more closely. By the way where the hell did Hayley's betrothed Jackson go? Did he die or runaway? Can we clear that up? 


Perfect rebound for Elijah

       So Elijah is the only Original Vampire left in New Orleans that is pure vampire (besides Mikail). Like Hayley, Elijah may gravitate towards his own kind rediscovering the "purity" of being a vampire. I just know that Elijah seems pretty lonely. He loves his family but he's becoming the odd man out. Marcel asked Elijah to tutor new vampire Gia. Maybe being a mentor to a young, pretty vampire is the rebound Elijah needs. Since Elijah and Hayley are immortal they have all the time in the world to get the magic back. Hayley and Elijah just need some space. Hopefully absence makes the heart grow fonder.  


Best not to ruin that nice suit
