Finally, after waiting for this to happen, Katherine was happy. She had gotten Mikael on her side and now, tonight, Klaus would be caught off guard and, if things turned out as planned, she would finally see Klaus dead and she would be free. To top it off, she had daggered Rebekah and stashed her in the cell in the basement of the Salvatore boarding house. If she lived tonight, it would be a plus. If not, who cared? She had lived the best she could for 500 years. If she died tonight, it would be worth it.



That night, trusting Mikael to kill Klaus and trusting him not to permanently kill her, she acted as the doppelganger and the hostage.
"Come out and face me, Niklaus, or she dies," Mikael threatened.
"Go ahead. Kill her," Klaus replied.
"No, Klaus. He—He'll do it," she told him, acting out the part quite well. She had always been a great deceiver.
"If she dies, this lot will be the last of your abominations," Mikael said, speaking of the few hybrids around who were still alive.
"I don't need them. I just need to be rid of you."
"To what end, Niklaus? So you can live forever with no one at your side? Nobody cares about you anymore, boy! What do you have other than those whose loyalty is forced? No one."
"I'm calling your bluff, father. Kill her."
"Come outside and face me you little coward. And I won't have to."
"My whole life you've underestimated me. If you kill her, you lose your leverage. So go ahead. Go on. Kill her. Come on old man. Kill her. Kill her!"
Mikael chuckled.
Mikael pulled out a dagger and stabbed her a few times in the back.
She gasped in pain, before everything went black.



When she woke up, Klaus had just killed Mikael and Klaus was alive. Knowing Klaus wouldn't be distracted for long, she did what she was always good at. She left and got in her SUV and drove out of town as fast as possible, running. She wasn't going to stay behind to find out what his punishment would be for her for trying to get him killed.
