Season 2 of the supernatural drama begins with Klaus (Joseph Morgan) plotting his revenge against the Guerrera werewolves and vowing to take down anyone who poses a threat to baby Hope's existence. Meanwhile, Elijah (Daniel Gillies) watches helplessly as Hayley (Phoebe Tonkin) spirals downward while mourning the loss of her daughter and struggles to adapt to her new hybrid status. Exiled by the Guerrera werewolves, who now control the French Quarter, Marcel (Charles Michael Davis) reels over the destruction of his vampire family and attempts to rebuild his home with the help of Josh (Steven Krueger). Elsewhere, Vincent (Yusuf Gatewood) recruits unsuspecting teens into a werewolf army; and Klaus and Elijah turn to a new witch (Sonja Sohn) to help them outsmart their villainous mother (Alice Evans).
