It's the bromance of the millennium

In a world full of witches, werewolves, vampires and hybrids and their ever-shifting alliances on The Originals, there is one relationship that has survived 1,000 years and will probably survive 1,000 more (yes, kinda like that Twilight song): Klaus (Joseph Morgan) and Elijah (Daniel Gillies).

The immortal brothers, who have been feuding off and on for a millennium, are mad at each other YET AGAIN after Klaus found out about how Elijah compelled Klaus' first love, Aurora (Rebecca Breeds), to leave him 1,000 years ago. (In all fairness, it was immediately after Elijah found out that Klaus had killed their mother and blamed it on their father. Which seems worse, but whatever.)

But Morgan tells E! News that he thinks the Klaus-Elijah relationship will endure despite the hardships. "I feel they're never going to leave each other," he says ahead of tonight's episode. "They're tied to each other. Who else is there? It's been 1,000 years. There's no one else. There's Rebekah. She's the only other one. No one else could possibly understand them, and they hate each other and love each other at the same time so I think maybe they'll find some silent peace."

In the meantime, they'll band together for a good cause when they attempt to find out what nefarious things their first vampire sires, Lucien (Andrew Lees), Tristan (Oliver Auckland) and Aurora, are up to via a sure-to-be totally normal Thanksgiving dinner. "They'll all hold hands and give thanks to each other," teases Morgan. "No drama!"

Just kidding! This is The Originals. It's going to be dramatic as hell as Klaus and his siblings try to figure out what the trinity is up to (and where the heck Aurora is hiding Rebekah). "Freya shows up like a Mikaelson bull in a china shop and that's where things start to spiral out of control," he adds.

For now, Klaus and Elijah and their newly discovered older sibling, Freya (Riley Voelkel), will team up to figure out how to survive the dire prophecy that the Mikaelsons will fall. All three of them are the biggest threat facing our favorite dysfunctional supernatural folk.

"I sort of see them as one problem, the trinity—a combined threat, each of our first sires," Morgan says. "Really, it's trying to discern who's working together and what their true motive is. It's quite difficult. It's sort of a taste of our own medicine, really. I wouldn't pick one over the other because they're switching around like the bloody ball under the cup. It's the three of them, and that's what makes it so infuriating."

The Originals airs Thursdays at 9 p.m. on The CW.
