Can you direct me to a good way to get up to speed with The Originals while being able to skip the gross parts featuring Hailey? And... pretty much everyone else that isn't Klaroline?
Okay so @klarolinemag does these recaps for TO that you can find here. They’re obviously quite biased because they’re written by well… Klaroline shippers so, if you ship KC you’ll probably enjoy them. They also comply twitter reactions from each episode but I’m not sure if those were just for TVD.
The wikia pages for each season give you a good concise breakdown of each of the season in chapters which describe the events that took place.
I’ve compiled a list of all Klaroline/Caroline/The Originals related scenes that occurred since The Originals was announced. Below that, you can find a summary of the back story to the Originals.
Here are all the Klaroline bits that have occurred since The Originals began.
In 3x20 Klaus and Caroline dance (partly so Klaus can antagonize Tyler), he mentions he’s leaving town but says he’d offer to let her come with him but say that he knows she isn’t ready to accept his offer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NiG1lke40AY&ab_channel=BestVampireShow
Not sure you’re going to want to watch this one but in 4 x16 before Klaus and Hayley have sex Hayley requests that Klaus free Tyler in return for giving up more of Katherine’s secrets. When he refuses she says that she’ll never get her chance with Tyler just like Klaus will never get his chance with Caroline, then they sleep together which leads to the plot of The Originals: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TJn1iW_gmYc&ab_channel=ElenaDamian

In 2x07 of the Originals, Klaus’ biological father is resurrected and they talk. Ansel talks about how he watched Klaus from the other side and mentions Caroline but this line was cut from the scene.

Basically, TO began because as you know Klaus originally used Katherine for the doppelganger sacrifice in the 1400 but she escaped and became a vampire ruining his plans. As revenge, he hunted her for years. In order to buy her freedom, she offered him information.
The information was about Hayley, a werewolf that came to MF to track down the family she was separated from her whole life.
Tyler met her in the Apaltions when he was trying to break Klaus’ sire bond and she helped. She then came to Mystic Falls and made a deal with Shane that she’d get him 12 unsired hybrids for sacrifice to complete the spell to wake Silas.
So she betrayed Tyler and got the hybrids killed.
This happened because Tyler and Caroline were going to ruin her plans so she told Klaus about the hybrids unsiring themselves and he killed them.
Hayley had briefly met Katherine in New Orleans and exchanged information with her in exchange for info about her parents. When Katherine sends someone to kill Hayley, Klaus rescues her and they have sex. Hence mystery magical miracle baby is conceived.
The witches of New Orleans get wind of this information about Hayey and use it as leverage as they want to get rid of Marcel (a vampire Klaus saved from slavery as a child and the sired as an adult) who was ruling New Orleans and restricting the witches freedom.
So they lured Hayley to New Orleans and link her to another witch Sophie Devereux (who’s sister was publically murdered by Marcel). Once Klaus is convinced that’s his child he then becomes enraged and jealous because Marcel has control of a city he once had control of and TO begins.
