And with anticipation high following this awesome Originals trailer, the network has released a handful of new photos from the special episode.
They include an angry Klaus, a contemplative Klaus and a couple looks at Daniella Pineda, who guest stars Thursday as a witch named Sophie and who will be a series regular in the fall if all goes as planned.
