   Summary

   “Under the greenwood tree,
   Who loves to lie with me
   And tune his merry note,
   Unto the sweet bird's throat;
   Come hither, come hither, come hither.
   Here shall he see
   No enemy
   But winter and rough weather.”
   - William Shakespeare, As You Like It

   A deviation in story from the end of season 4.

   Elijah does not choose to have his memory, his promise of always and forever taken from him--instead, he struggles on his own and in time, his self-imposed masochism exacts a dangerous toll.

   In the land beyond, a solution presents herself.

   OR

   Elijah Mikaelson finds himself a therapist (too bad she's dead).
