Jackson is sitting outside Hayley's old shack in the werewolf encampments, where he's whittling a tree branch with a knife. After a moment, Hayley comes out with a broom and joins him
Uh, why do people keep leaving broomsticks on the porch? [Jackson sees her and smiles widely] Seeing as I'm not much of a "sweep while the soup's cookin'" kind of gal.
Jackson smiles even wider as he chokes back a laugh
Well, back in the day, it wasn't easy getting a preacher out here. So, if you were engaged, and you couldn't wait... then the community would let you jump the broom.
Hayley gives him a look that is visibly confused and oblivious to the sexual connotations
Couldn't wait for what?
Jackson can barely hold in his laughter and gives Hayley a significant look. She looks at him, puzzled, and Jackson starts giggling before Hayley finally understands the joke and clears her throat awkwardly in understanding
Oh!
[giggling] Yup.
Hayley waves the broom in the air before unceremoniously dropping it on the floor
I would have been happier with a panini press...
Jackson laughs hysterically, and she smiles at him goofily
It's just a tradition!
[clearly uncomfortable] Yeah! Got it.
They sit in awkward silence for a moment before Hayley changes the subject and points to the tree branch in his hands
So... what are you working on?
Jackson stands up and moves onto the porch, where he walks toward a sheet-covered mound in the corner
Oh! I started on these for your little girls when you lived here before. Now that they alive-- [He pulls off the sheet, revealing one fully-finished and one half-finished baby cribs made out of wood with a crescent moon carved into the headboard underneath it]-- I figured it was time to finish this one Jackson says pointing towards the unfinished one .
Hayley stares at the nursery in amazement, and after a moment, she smiles at him. Jackson clears his throat
Something else... I'm getting word from a few packs outside of Louisiana? They wanna be here for the wedding! They want in on the Unification ritual!
[confused] I thought the ritual only affected the powers of the wolves in our pack?
[excitedly] Unless they recognize me as their Alpha. Then your power becomes their power!
You think their Alphas will step down and bow to you?
[nods] They're coming here today to do just that.
Hayley looks around, clearly overwhelmed by this news
They want what you have, Hayley. I mean, we all do. I mean, a couple of weeks after the wedding, you are gonna have one hell of an army to protect your little girls.

BELL TOWER OF ST. LOUIS CATHEDRAL
Finn and Freya are sitting opposite each other, drinking mugs of tea while they catch up on what has been going on
I'm here because of a spell Dahlia cast, placing me in a deep sleep for a century, only to then wake for a single year of life. I've repeated this cycle for hundreds of years. It started as a way for us to stay young and beautiful. She said if a witch can't be immortal, this was the next best thing. But, in time, I realized that all her stories were paired with lies.
