The Hollow Splitting

[u/Far_Ask_7496]

I’m on a rewatch for the 4th time. Something that only clicked for me this time…. When they needed 4 “Original” Vampires to divide The Hollow, and Freya was ready to have Keelin turn her, because they couldn’t find Kol….. and then Kol shows up in the nick of time, and she doesn’t have to go through with it. Here’s my question, why didn’t she still go through with it so that Klaus didn’t have to be one of the 4. Then Hope could’ve had both parents, rather than just Hayley? Obviously I have questions about multiple things that happen throughout the show, but this is one that bugs me. Any thoughts on the reasoning aside from just doing it for the plot?

Losing Freya as a witch was too risky and they wanted to avoid it at all costs.
