What occurs when the twins turn 22 on 'Legacies?' Only OG 'Vampire Diairies' fans will have in mind...
You don't wish to watch The Originals or Vampire Diaries to enjoy the CW by-product, Legacies, but it unquestionably doesn't harm. Fans discovered this the arduous manner on last week's episode when Jo Laughlin (Alaric Saltzman's first love) faced Alaric about the twins' upcoming birthday.
To briefly recap, sisters Josie and Lizzie had been visibly disillusioned when they discovered that their mother Caroline would not be attending their Sweet Sixteen. Before returning to the Afterlife, Jo, who happens to be the twins' biological mom, asked Alaric an important query — one OG Vampire Diaries and The Originals fanatics without a doubt know the answer to.
"Do they know what happens when they turn 22?" Jo requested, to which Alaric answered, "No, not yet. And we don't want them to know until we've exhausted all our options." It used to be quickly published that Caroline was skipping their birthday to observe a lead to prevent the twins from ever wanting to know the answer.
So, what occurs when the twins turn 22?
In six years, the women might be forced to go through The Merge, which is when the more potent twin absorbs the power of the weaker sister, leaving the survivor as the brand new leader of the Gemini Coven.
This is something Jo is aware of all too neatly. On Vampire Diaries, Jo had a dual named Malachai "Kai" Parker. To keep away from having to merge, Jo concealed her magical powers in a knife. This caused Kai to be trapped in a prison international, which he ultimately escaped — to kill Jo, who was once pregnant with Josie and Lizzie at the time, proper prior to her wedding ceremony to Alaric. TBH, we're nonetheless not over it.

Anyways, Jo and Lizzie had been then placed in Caroline's womb through the coven, which is how they survived — and why Caroline is made up our minds to save lots of her daughters from having to accomplish the ritual, or "merge" when their time comes.
Where is Caroline on Legacies?
Since the twins' birthday — and conceivable merge — is still years away, this quest Caroline is on explains why she has been noticeably absent from the CW sequence. However, it's unclear when audience will in truth see Caroline, performed through Candice King, on Legacies. "We’re going to hear her and feel her a lot. I don’t know when we’ll see her. I, of course, would like to see her anytime," display runner Julie Plec defined to Entertainment Weekly. "The door is open. But the girls are dealing with the fact that their mother, who has raised them, is a little absentee lately."

While the twins are visibly dissatisfied on the display about their mother's absence, it is all for a excellent purpose, as we mentioned above. "Alaric knows [Caroline is] actually off doing other things that have to do with the long-term survival of their daughters," Julie added. "So the mystery of, where is Caroline, why isn’t she coming home for their birthday, that kind of thing is gonna be part of our story in the hopes that one day we’ll be able to have her walk through the doors as well."
And Candice is able to return to her CW home. "Never say never," she stated of her return. As anticipated, fans can not wait. "Totally forgot the twins were supposed to fight each other to death at 22. At some point... Caroline needs to show up tho," one viewer lately tweeted earlier than some other added, "I don’t want anything to happen to the twins on merge day... Caroline better find a loophole! However, I believe that Josie would be the stronger twin in the equation!"
