Vincent and Marcel were finally able to track down the witch that was kidnapping children in episode 4 of "The Originals" Season 4. But the witch is somehow connected to Vincent and he may have lured the Mikaelsons back to New Orleans.
According to Fansided, the current witch problem in New Orleans started eight years ago when Vincent's (Yusuf Gatewood) wife, Eva Sinclair (Maisie Richardson-Sellers) who is pregnant, wanted to leave town to avoid Marcel's (Charles Michael Davis) crackdown on witches. Vincent asked for six months to get rid of Marcel but had trouble finding the magic that could take him out.
His luck changed, though, when a book with the ouroboros symbol appeared that has powerful sacrificial magic. What's shocking about the book is that it is in Vincent's handwriting. Regardless, he started sacrificing animals in hopes of using the mysterious new power.
Unfortunately, it's not enough and Eva figured out they needed to sacrifice something that is loved so she started with the family's pet bird. She kept on doing this until eventually the dark power consumed her and she started kidnapping and sacrificing kids instead.
Screener TV reports that the dark power has totally consumed Eva, which turned her into a demon. With that, there was already no hope of helping her. Vincent doesn't know what happened to their child after that.
Now the mysterious power is back and it's corrupting someone else into doing the same, kidnap kids and sacrifice them. Marcel and Vincent was able to track down the new witch and beat him but it was a hard-fought battle.
Upon saving the kids, Vincent discovers that the kids are linked to a spell that uses personal totems. There are five totems but four kids, which means the fifth one was intended for Hope (Summer Fontana), who was spending time with her father Klause (Joseph Morgan).
The fifth totem's connection to Hope explains why she woke up in the middle of the night while feeling cold. Freya (Riley Voelkel) identified that the sickness that Hope is feeling is related to magic. Hayley (Phoebe Tonkin) got a note from Vincent claiming he can save her, but they need to return to New Orleans.
Though the person being controlled by the dark power is already defeated, it looks as if the dark power itself is still active as Detective Will Kinney (Jason Dohring) stopped the ambulance that was carrying the kids Vincent and Marcel saved. The detective slashed the throat of EMT then drove off with the ambulance.
It seems as if the Mikaelsons are walking into a trap to bring Hope back to New Orleans to make it easier for the dark power to kidnap her. Well, fans will soon know in "The Originals" Season 4 Episode 4 which airs on April 7. Check out the promo for episode 4 in the video below.
