As The Originals nears the end of its third season, some important questions will be brought up.

On Friday, Collider posted an interview with executive producer Michael Narducci who opened up on what this season was about and how it put so many souls in danger.

""It's very dangerous to be an associate, ally, friend or loved one of a Mikaelson," Narducci said. "We lost a lot of people along the way this season. Jackson died, and over the course of time, Tristan was buried at sea. Now, we're getting to a world where some of our other allies are definitely being placed in jeopardy. Cami was turned into a vampire. Freya has been abducted and shot and buried alive."

With only a few episodes left of the third year, the producer revealed what everyone's going to be thinking about- one of the big ones being if there really is such a thing as redemption and forgiveness for these characters' situations.

"We have to wonder whether the vow of 'always and forever' is a beautiful thing, where you place your family above everyone else, even at the cost of others, or whether that kind of behavior leads to injustice that will someday be answered, whether you want to believe in karma, or you just want to believe that, if you make enough enemies over the course of history, those enemies will come back to haunt you and destroy you."

As these thoughts play out, there's a good chance they'll linger when the fourth season premieres.

"Can this family survive? Is there any atonement that can make up for the sins they have committed, over the course of history?" Narducci pondered. "How will the Mikaelsons deal with the return of their greatest enemies and the sins they have committed and the fall-out of everything they've done to honor their vow of 'always and forever?'"

The Originals airs on Fridays at 9 p.m. ET on The CW.
