With just a couple more weeks left before 'The Originals' season 2 premieres, the CW has released official stills for the first episode!

TV's favorite original vampires face new threats with the unexpected return of their parents. The very angry Mikael "remains ever-intent on killing Klaus - even if he has to go through Davina to do it."

Esther, on the other hand, "is fueled by a consuming and twisted love for her children as she devises a disturbing plan to reunite her fractured family..." This plan will not only hurt Klaus, Elijah and Rebecca but everyone they hold dear as well.

Teaser photos (via Hypable) for the first episode have heightened fans' excitement even more.

Murderous rage and hunger plagues Hayley while Klaus looks frustrated at his weakened state due to the moonlight rings in the werewolves' possession. Klaus confronts Marcel, while Elijah tries to talk to him while he paints. The usually composed Elijah feeds off of someone in what looks to be a park.
