Recap:
Hayley and Jackson taking a walk with Hope. A violinist starts playing a creepy song. A promise made is a debt to be paid. A man offers a black dahlia flower. Klaus grabs him and says show yourself, witch! Then Dahlia speaks through Jackson.
Home. Klaus yelling at Hayley. Elijah tells him to hush so they can plan. Freya makes a tonic so Dahlia can't use them. Klaus doesn't want to drink. The rest so. Klaus says that was a test. Dahlia is preparing for battle. Elijah says we need a new stronghold, a sanctuary from all witchcraft. Freya says we can use Jackson to trace her magic to the source and find Dahlia. Klaus says off to your tasks. I'm going to find a way to murder that witch.
Davina in the cemetery. Klaus visits her. Says he's concerned. She spends a lot of time in cemeteries for a teenager. He wants her help to find Mikael. She says she's busy. He says you're not the only one that grieves my brother. Resurrection spells are tricky. They need a remnant of the deceased and I have Kol's ashes. She makes the deal.
Josh and Aiden in bed. Phone buzzes. Aiden says it's Jackson. But it's Klaus. Aiden takes it once Josh is in the bedroom. Klaus tells him Jackson was compromised. Serve as my eyes and ears at the compound. Report anything I should know. Aiden says sure. Klaus says good lad.
Jackson takes the tea. Says I can feel Dahlia. She's nothing but darkness. Let's take Hope and the pack and leave tonight. Running is what wolves do. I know every inch of that Bayou. It'll at least buy us some time. She says what about the family. He says Dahlia's their family, too. This isn't our war, and it certainly isn't your daughter's.
Davina tells Klaus that Josh won't be happy about Klaus manipulating Aiden. She says it must suck to be you all the time. He says it hasn't been a picnic. She says you have something to lose, too. How does it feel? Then a taxi stops. Mikael. Klaus confronts him. Mikael insults him. Klaus says our interests might be better served by joining services. How about it, Father? Care to join your bastard son on a witch hunt?
St. James Infirmary. Josephine with Marcel and Elijah. This place served as neutral ground for a long time. Elijah asks her to do a spell so no magic can be done inside these walls. She say this is not our fight. Elijah says anyone standing aside and allowing my family to be threatened, I'd be forced to consider an enemy. She proposes an idea then. A blessing combined with a disruption spell.
Klaus and Mikael in a restaurant. Klaus has the stake. Orders a bourbon. Asks Mikael if he's completed Freya's task. Mikael says there are 3 elements. Do you want to take them? He tosses insults again. Klaus says if you truly thought me weak, you'd stake me now. Join me, and both our daughters will be free. If we lose, then at least you die knowing the bastard got his due.
Freya preparing Jackson for the spell. She channels through Rebekah. Jackson yells in pain, the Rebekah drops Freya's hands. Rebekah says you're the reason Dahlia's able to cast such powerful spells. She's channeling you! Freya says I had no idea. She must've found me. Hayley says get away from my husband! Rebekah gets between her and Freya. Rebekah says I want to trust you, but you're bonded to Dahlia. I'm sorry, but it's better you go. Please.
Mikael and Klaus. Mikael says I don't need your help. You're a little boy desperate for a daddy. Klaus says 1000 years ago, perhaps. But I'm vicious and hateful now, just like you. It makes us uniquely suited to murdering that witch. Our daughters' lives depend on it. Alright, Niklaus. Tell me what you propose. Klaus says we have the means. All that remains is to go for the kill. Dahlia blasts glass at them through the waitress. Mikael is ready to run after her. Klaus says One final hunt. Do try to keep up, old man. Heh.
Freya on the street. All the people stare at her. Dahlia finds her. There you are, after all these centuries. Hello, my Freya. Freya is terrified.
Dahlia lets the people go. Did you make a promise to your wretched siblings? Did they welcome you with open arms? Freya asks what are you going to do to me? Dahlia says you were always an ungrateful child. Soon enough, you'll beg me to take you back. Soon I'll be the only family you have left. You should know better than to defy me. A lesson your father and brother will soon learn.
Elijah is not happy with Rebekah and Hayley. He tells them about the sanctuary. Marcel will escort Hayley and Hope there at 9. Elijah says we can't win this fight without Freya whether we trust her or not.
Klaus has Davina doing another favor. Mikael and Klaus bicker. She's doing a binding spell. Dahlia's soil, Viking ash, and blood of Freya. Davina asks what do you want me to do? Klaus says bind those ingredients to a weapon. Mikael gives her a knife. Klaus isn't surprised he has one. Mikael says perhaps you can dull it later. Klaus tells Davina he'll honor their bargain. i swear it on my daughter's life. She says I hope you know what you're doing.
Hilarious to see Mikael and Klaus almost getting along, bickering with insults.
Freya comes back to the compound. Tells Elijah I saw Dahlia. She moves tonight. Klaus and Mikael will be her next victims. She begs him to help her save them. Dahlia will lure them in a trap. To any dark power. Ground stained with the blood of the innocent.
Mikael and Klaus come to the church. Dahlia appears. Let us begin. She has minions. Mikael says we are well met. So be it. Ready? Klaus says I was born ready. They fight. Dahlia gave her acolytes power and uses magic against Mikael and Klaus.
Jackson in his room. Aiden arrives. Jackson says shut the door. I don't take you being my right hand for granted. You're the only one I can trust with this. I need to get Hayley and Hope out tonight. Aiden says Klaus will kill you. Jackson says Klaus would kill me over dirty dishes. I have a route mapped out. Get a car and meet me at exactly 8:45. Marcel arrives at 9. The wolves will need a leader while I'm away. Up for it?
Klaus and Mikael get up and get back in the fight.
Josh finds Aiden. Josh heard the phone call with Klaus. Vampire hearing, dude. Aiden says I didn't want to involve you. Josh asks what's going on. Aiden says there's a big escape plan and if I don't tell Klaus.... But Jackson has watched over me since I was a kid. Josh says we'll figure this out.
Klaus and Mikael killed all her minions. She applauds. And then throws magic at them. In grand tragedies, all the heroes die. Mikael drops the knife. They're collapsing in pain.
Jackson finds Hayley. She doesn't want Hope to be around if Klaus and Elijah lose. Do you think this is the best plan to protect her? I do.
Dahlia appreciates their passion to keep fighting. Still, too little, too late. She tosses Klaus. Then Makes Mikael suffer. Freya says enough! Dahlia says they're using you. Freya says no, you used me. no more! Mikael attacks Dahlia. Stay away from my daughter! She tosses him. Elijah feeds Klaus. She tosses Elijah. Klaus leaps at Dahlia and smashes into the altar. Elijah stands.
Marcel arrives and Hayley and Hope are gone. Josh says there's no sign of them. Marcel says fan out and find them now.
Jackson and Hayley waiting for Aiden. It's 8:52. Aiden sits in a car. Marcel finds the couple. Hayley says took you long enough. Going to Algiers now.
Dahlia appears to the family again. She has the knife. She renders it useless. Dahlia says I seek that which is owed to me and nothing more. Give me the child and you may live. Deny me and ....well, I can't imagine you hunger for more of my power.
Aiden tells Josh that he told Jack that he was delayed in traffic. He bought it. Josh, I'm so sorry about all this. Josh says me, too. If Klaus hurt you, I'm going to have to seek vengeance, and we know how that will go. This isn't your fault. This is what Klaus does. I've been on my own my whole life, and then there was you. You are my pack and I would die for you. Aiden says we'll figure this out together.
Klaus drinking. Rebekah asks where's Dahlia now. Elijah says she could be anywhere. Klaus says he wasn't impressed. Mikael says she wanted us to reveal our weapon and we did. Rebekah speaks and Mikael recognizes her words. Freya is mad that you used the ingredients on one weapon. We've lost all advantage. Klaus attacks Mikael. Holds the stake at his heart. You despise me and I want to know why. Mikael says I don't know. I just did. Klaus says are those your final words? Mikael says Freya, I'm so sorry. I love you. Klaus stakes him and she screams. Mikael reaches toward her as he falls. His body lights on fire. Klaus says Viking ash is rare, but all you need is a burning Viking corpse. Freya grieves.
Josephine finds Dahlia playing the violin. Dahlia offers to help her hands. Josephine weeps in joy. Dahlia, I assume. Indeed. Now I must use you to send a message. Josephine says there's no promises an old witch can make to another. No. May I? One last tune? She plays the violin with love. Dahlia slits her throat. So unfortunate!
