After the monstrosities of Tyler De'LaRose, Gandhi, and The Hollow, the Original Vampire family experience bigger issues in Chicago. All though they are miles away from New Orleans, the ancestors tend to target them in a very threatening way. One that effects Hope's sixteenth birthday and possibly the rest of her entire life. Not only that, but an old enemy from years ago tends to show for a revenge show on the side of the ancestors and Vincent. Hopefully Klaus takes advantage of the spirits speaking to him from the black box. Or maybe they're doing way more than just speaking to him.
