Now here's a show to bite into.
Welcome to Miss Mojo,
and today we'll be counting down our picks for the top 10 shocking moments from The Originals.
[It's fine. He can't come in.]

For this list, we're looking at the moments from the show that made our jaws drop,
and had us asking: What the hell?
Even though the Mikaelsons did wreck havoc on The Vampire Diaries,
We're strictly sticking to this spinoff.
Oh, and expect some spoilers.
[I loved you...]
Number 10: Cami dies in Klaus's bed .
[You have to.]
[So you can be the light for your little girl.]
Every supernatural show needs its resident human,
and Camille O'Connell filled that role for a while.
As a human, her life was always in the balance.
But we thought she stood more of a chance after turning into a vampire.
But alas, Cami doesn't survive a fatal bite from Lucien despite the gang's attempt to find a cure.
Her death was upsetting and hard to watch since she and Klaus were finally in a good place.
They even expressed their love for each other in his dream of their perfect day together.
Watching Cami die proved that the show is willing to make hard choices for the sake of a good story.
Number 9: Rebekah and Marcel's Secret.
[If this is the only way to get it, then..]
[I hope my mind doesn't change.]
When you're thousands of years old, secrets
have a way of piling up.
But they also always have a way of coming out.
Rebekah and Marcel have been kept apart from each other by Klaus for more than a century,
but the two of them keep a deadly secret.
Back in 1919, Rebekah had Genevieve
tip-off Michael, their murderous father, about Klaus's whereabouts,
so that he could kill Klaus, and she would finally be free from him.
She instantly regretted her choice, and infected Genevieve with an influenza soaked rag,
expecting her to die.
[I'm so sorry Genevieve.]
But when Genevieve returns in the present day,
she reveals Rebekah's mistake in the most brutal way possible when she links the sibling minds.
It's vengeful and devastating in the best way possible.
[Nik, it isn't true.]
[I want to believe you, sister.]
Number 8: Dahlia's arrival.
Shows like this are only as good as the big bad of the season, and Dahlia more than lived up to expectations.
Feared and revered as the one witch who could take down Klaus and kin.
Her threat hung over the entire season
even though she wasn't present for the majority of it.
[It is the magic that will draw Dahlia.]
Dahlia may be the aunt of the Mikaelson siblings,
but she was willing to sacrifice baby Hope for her chance at immortality.
Her entrance to New Orleans struck fear in the heart of every supernatural being,
and her threatening of Freya sent chills down our spines.
[After all, once I am done with these poor souls, I'll be the only family you have left.]
Number 7: Rebekah and Marcel kiss.
Rebekah and Marcel have always been destined for one another,
but time and time again, Klaus has stood in the way of their union.
Just when it seemed like they would give up in fear of Klaus's wrath,
Rebekah turns up at Marcel's door under the premise that she was there to say goodbye.
[Say it.]
Right.
The tension between these two was played up quite nicely in the scene,
and reached a boiling point when Marcel grabed Rebekah and pulled her
in for a lot more than a farewell kiss.
Their kiss came as a delicious surprise
since their attraction to each other is off the charts.
Number 6: Elijah enters Francesca's house uninvited.
[So I suppose that means this house now belongs to the public.]
Rule 101 of the Vampire World is that a vampire can't enter a human's home uninvited.
But that doesn't mean there aren't ways around that.
In a moment of brilliant game play, Elijah arrives uninvited at Francesca's home.
He stands just outside the threshold to tell her a wonderfully poetic story about how Al Capone was nabbed for tax evasion.
[A failure to pay his taxes, I suppose the devil's in the detail, isn't?]
The moment builds as Elijah reveals he got the city to declare her
home a protected landmark, therefore making it public property.
Surprise, surprise, Elijah enters the house.
And it's just another moment proving that Elijah isn't one to be messed with.
Number Five: Klaus guilts Rebekah and Elijah.
If there's one thing Klaus loves to wax poetic about, it's loyalty to the family above all else.
After Rebekah betrays Klaus to help Marcel, Klaus single-handedly takes on Marcel's army and wins.
[MARCEL! Come and finish this!]
But the win is bittersweet, since his sister was the cost of the fight in the first place.
Feeling betrayed by both her and Elijah, who questions his motives for protecting his unborn child,
Klaus shows his vulnerable side when he gives a speech about how much family truly means to him.
Even though he's often portrayed as the show's villain,
you can't help feeling sorry for him since he seemed so hurt by them.
[Look the other way sister,
while you repeat the same cycle with Marcel, falling again for a man you shouldn't be with.]
We're just as surprised as his siblings are by
how raw his emotions seem to be.
[You chose to stand against me.]
Number 4: Elijah takes out the witch.
In a town as cutthroat as New Orleans, allegiances shift on the daily,
and it's unclear whom you can trust.
[I thought it would leave a fitting message.
Don't touch my family.]
Klaus and Elijah have never seen eye to eye on the witches,
With Klaus believing that none of them can be trusted, and Elijah willing to negotiate.
But all of that changes when Agnes, one of the head witches, tricks Hayley and endangers her baby.
Just as Klaus is about to kill Agnes,
Elijah makes a surprise appearance to do the honors himself as he proclaims:
[No one hurts my family and lives.]
He's badass, and he's brutal as he kills off Agnes and almost everyone around her,
snatching their hearts off their chests left and right.
Number 3: Jackson and Haley's wedding.
No one ever saw this one coming,
since Hayley's character spends most of her time caught between the two Mikaelson brothers.
But when it's revealed that her marriage to Jackson, an Alpha werewolf,
would allow for the rest of their wolf pack to control their shape-shifting powers and gain maximum strength,
their union seemed inevitable.
When Hayley's wedding to Jackson happens, it's actually pretty sweet,
especially for the show.
It's made better by the fact that their vow exchange and kiss bring the packs together
as evidenced by all the glowing werewolf eyes in the audience.
Number 2: Elijah and Klaus Face Off.
[Why must you keep hopping on about the baby?]
Based on their interactions on The Vampire Diaries,
audiences knew they were in for a ton of family drama when The Originals started.
The show makes good on that promise from the first episode,
when the two brothers spar over whether Klaus should protect his baby with Hayley,
who Elijah believes can bring them all together.
They fight dirty in the Mikaelson family,
and just when we think the two of them have come to a resolution,
there's a major twist at episode's end.
Klaus daggers Elijah, claiming that he can't lead a revolution when his family's around.
[Forgive me, my brother.]
Seems pretty harsh, but this is just child play when it comes to Klaus.
[If I'm going to win this war,
I have to do it alone.]
Before we unveil our number one pick, here are a few honorable mentions.
[From this day forward I am nothing less than your worse...]
[You make sure to tell that little girl stories of her crazy auntie Bex.]
Number 1: Elijah and Hayley have sex.
As one of the show's biggest will they or won't they couple,
we surely thought these two were a won't.
Why?
Klaus was their obstacle given that Hayley is his baby mama,
and Elijah is his brother,
which are circumstances that don't exactly make for the best hook up scenario.
[I should just...]
But as the show went on and Klaus somewhat backed off,
it felt like that ship might have sailed.
What's even more complicated about their timing, is that Hayley told Elijah
she would have to marry Jackson in order to release the werewolfs from the witches.
[I have to marry Jackson.]
Despite all this, these two had one of the sexiest and romantic love scenes on the show to date.
