Esther is plotting to cause some serious havoc as The Originals continues with its second season on The CW this month.

Esther Mikaelson (Sonja Sohn), mother to Elijah (Daniel Gillies) and Klaus (Joseph Morgan), has some big plans for her children. She claims she wants to save them, whatever the cost, and it won't stop her from leaving a trail of chaos in her wake.

Esther has already been responsible for Oliver's (Chase Coleman) death, but her plans for Cami (Leah Pipes) over the next few episodes might just be even worse.

"The exact purpose that Cami will serve to Esther made me jump out of my seat and be like, 'Oh my God, that is horrifying'" declared producer Michael Narducci in discussing the show with E! on Monday.

"You won't see it coming," he warned. "Going forward, Cami will have an important part to play in Esther's plan."

The recent Mikaelson family reunion in New Orleans will also draw back Rebekah (Claire Holt) for Episode 8. The actress has made a few guest appearances since she left the show halfway through Season 1, though her returns have been few and far between.

"We will be seeing Rebekah," insisted Narducci. "She has been off raising Hope and we've always said on The Vampire Diaries and on The Originals that Rebekah longed for a return to humanity."

While this "longing" might make Rebekah more likely to take Esther's offer of a human existence, there are other factors to consider. She's still responsible for keeping Hope safe, which is something her status as an "original" has helped with so far.

Then of course there is the fact that, centuries ago, Esther made a pact which sacrificed every first-born child in her family line for the rest of eternity. This includes Hope, if these evil forces can get through the child's vicious and protective hybrid parents.

The Originals continues on The CW with its second season Mondays at 8 p.m. ET/PT.
