Okay, so I was rewatching some old clips of ‘The Originals’ the other day, just kinda flipping through, and this thought just smacked me right in the face: does Davina actually die in the show? I mean, for real, stay-dead die. It’s one of those things where you think you remember, but then you’re like, “Wait, did that really happen, or am I mixing it up with another character?” because, let’s be honest, a lot of folks bite the dust in that series.
My first instinct was to rack my brain. I remember Davina Claire, the super powerful young witch. She was a big deal, especially in the early seasons. I recalled a lot of drama surrounding her, particularly with the Ancestors and all that Harvest ritual stuff. But the specifics of her ending? That was a bit hazy.
So, I decided to do a little digging. I didn’t want to just google it straight away and get a blunt answer. I like to sort of… re-experience the journey, if you know what I mean. I started thinking about her major storylines. The Harvest girl, yeah, that was huge. She definitely “died” then, but it was part of a ritual, and she came back. So, that doesn’t really count as a permanent exit, right?
Trying to Pinpoint the Moment
I kept thinking. There were so many threats, so many enemies. The Mikaelsons themselves were walking disasters for anyone who got close. I seemed to remember her getting tangled up with Kol, and that usually spells trouble for anyone involved with that family.
Then it clicked! I remembered something about the Ancestors being super ticked off with her. They were a constant pain. I pulled up some episode summaries, just skimming through season three and four descriptions. That’s usually where the big character arcs reach their peak or, well, their end.
And there it was. Yes, she does die. It’s a proper, significant death, not just a ritualistic one.
- First, there was the whole thing in Season 3. Freya, in a desperate move, used Davina as a conduit to channel the Ancestors’ power to kill Lucien. This severed Davina’s connection to the Ancestors, and then Kol, under their influence, actually killed her. That was a gut punch. Her soul got shattered by the Ancestors, which sounded pretty permanent.
- But then, ‘The Originals’ being ‘The Originals,’ there’s always a loophole or another magical fix, isn’t there? She was trapped in the Ancestral Plane, suffering. Eventually, they managed to bring her back, but she was no longer an Ancestral witch of New Orleans. She was just a regular witch again, which honestly, was probably a relief for her.
- However, the story doesn’t quite end there neatly for everyone. If you’re thinking about her final fate by the end of the entire series, she does survive. After being resurrected, she eventually leaves New Orleans with Kol. So, she gets a relatively happy ending, all things considered.
So, the answer to “does Davina die?” is a bit of a “yes, but…” situation. She experiences death, a pretty traumatic one at that, and her soul is tormented. But she is eventually resurrected and lives on. It’s not a straightforward “yep, she’s gone for good” like some other characters. She goes through hell, literally, but makes it out.
It was quite the journey to piece that back together. These supernatural shows, they love to play with death, don’t they? Makes it hard to keep track sometimes, but that’s part of the fun, I guess. Glad I took the time to refresh my memory on that one. Davina was a tough cookie.
