The next episode of "The Originals" will be interesting and intense as Elijah and Hayley will end up attending a wicked gala devised to initiate Marcel into an ancient order of vampires.

Last Thursday, fans saw just how depraved the sired vampires -- Tristan, Aurora, and Lucien -- are capable of being in the last episode.

A preview video of the upcoming episode, which is titled "A Walk on the Wild Side," reveals that Marcel will receive an offer to join The Strix, which is an ancient order of vampires. However, Elijah and Hayley crash his fancy initiation dance, which may turn violent and deadly.

According to CarterMatt, the synopsis reads as follows:

"In order to uncover what his old acquaintance Tristan (guest star Oliver Auckland) is really up to in New Orleans, Elijah (Daniel Gillies) considers attending a gala thrown by a mysterious group of ancient vampires known as The Strix, while Hayley (Phoebe Tonkin) invites herself to attend with him. There, Marcel (Charles Michael Davis) is approached with an enticing offer made by a mysterious woman named Aya (guest star Tracy Ifeachor), but he quickly realizes that things are not always what they seem. Elsewhere, when a vital component of Lucien's (guest star Andrew Lees) plan goes missing, he and Klaus (Joseph Morgan) form a tentative alliance in order to find it. Riley Voelkel also stars."

In a recent interview with Entertainment Weekly, Riley Voelkel opened up about her character, Freya Mikaelson, and how she is adjusting now that she has finally escaped the confines of her evil Aunt Dahlia.

"Now that Dahlia is gone, she's really let her hair down and is having fun and experiencing modern time for the first time. She's having a few drinks," said the actress, adding, "She's closer to the family now. They've really accepted her and she's not used to that, so she's for the first time having people who are actually fighting for her. Everything she ever wanted was this family and now she's part of it, so that's the big change."

Voelkel also talked about how protective Freya is over her family and how much she loveswatching over baby Hope. Although, now that Hayley is back, she's going to become a bit more like "auntie Freya," according to Voelkel. "She'll always hold that role a little bit."

The actress went on talking about how much Freya wants her family to remain united.

"She doesn't have the same resentment that they have towards each other, so she really wants the whole family to stay together," Voelkel said. "Now that they're all in danger and she's the only witch of the Mikaelsons, she definitely tries to take care of things. They come to her to do all of the spell work, the witch work, all of that. She's definitely feeling the pressure because this is all she's ever wanted and now it could be taken away."

Season 3 Episode 4 of "The Originals," "A Walk on the Wild Side," will premiere onThe CW on Thursday, Oct. 22 at 9 p.m. ET.
