‘Legacies’ Exclusive: The Boys Figure out What to Do Without Hope

With Hope Mikaelson (Danielle Rose Russell) turned to the dark side, there’s a power vacuum in the Super-Squad on The CW’s Legacies. And in Decider’s exclusive clip from this week’s episode, “You’re a Long Way From Home”, the boys try to figure out what to do next — only to be waylaid by an invisible Ethan (Leo Howard).

In case you’re a little behind on the series, a few episodes back Hope finally made the big decision she’s been dreading for years: die, in order to awaken her vampiric side, and become the mythical tribrid, a combination of vampire, werewolf and witch. Unfortunately, this led directly to her having to kill her boyfriend Landon (Aria Shahghasemi); and the moment she did, her humanity switched off, protecting her from the pain… And turning her bad.

Now, Hope is travelling around the country, doing whatever she wants — including sending her former mentor Alaric (Matt Davis) into a coma. Last episode, the Super-Squad (aka the students of the Salvatore School) found out Hope was responsible for the attack on Alaric, and now just need to figure out what to do next.

Enter the team of MG (Quincy Fouse), Kaleb (Chris Lee), Jed (Ben Levin) and Wade (Elijah B. Moore), who are trying to deal with whatever supernatural madness is afflicting the school this week.

“We have to try again,” says MG. “I just don’t know why we keep failing so hard. We must be missing something.”

Kaleb knows what it is, though: “A leader! We’re so used to relying on Hope that we never made a plan B. And Final Destination New Orleans is telling us exactly what happens if actual Hope comes back to the school and we don’t have one.”

Presumably Kaleb is talking about the body of a flunky left in a bar in New Orleans, discovered by Kaleb and Cleo (Omono Okojie) last week, who had been burned to a crisp and filled with darts. Into the discussion, though, comes invisible Ethan — who probably won’t be making leader any time soon.

Check out the rest of the clip above. Legacies airs Thursdays at 9/8c on The CW.
