Sneak Peek

 * Alaric: "Block with your hand."
 * Hope: "I got it."
 * Alaric: "If you had, I wouldn't have to say it."
 * Alaric: "Cheater"
 * Hope: "You should really let a vampire start doing my training. You're getting a little old for me to break your human bones."
 * Alaric: "How dare you."
 * Alaric: "You and Landon have a thing or something?"
 * Hope: "I don't have things."
 * Alaric: "Yes, I'm well aware of your quest to avoid of all emotional tendencies. It's obviously something."
 * Hope: "I liked him. He's normal. "
 * Alaric: "Let's keep him that way. We survive here because we follow the rules. We can't get sloppy about it."
 * Hope: "You're the one that tells me I need to get out more."
 * Alaric: "I tell you that you need to stop locking yourself in your dorm room, binge watching Cutthroat Kitchen. I don't tell you to go out on Friday night with a human."
 * Hope: "You know, you can just be my headmaster. All this other stuff is not in the job description."
 * Alaric: "I attempt to make an actual friend here and we can re-evaluate this relationship"

 * -|Trivia=
 * This episode was originally named after the series, Legacies; however, it was changed for reasons unknown, to This is the Part Where You Run.
 * This episode's title is a line from Landon Kirby and also by Hope Mikaelson.
 * The Salvatore School stays involved with Mystic Falls just enough by participating in town events so as not to draw attention to the school.
 * Lizzie is revealed to have a temper, of which Alaric is trying help his daughter control through the use of her mind; i.e. through mediation and breathing exercises. He believes that her late birth mother's ancestors left her with a legacy of darkness.
 * Landon takes a knife of unknown supernatural origin. Hope and Josie use Dark Magic to try to locate him with the knife, though seemingly, the knife reacts to the spell and glows, resulting in the death of everyone on the bus Landon is on, with the exception of himself.
