DAHLIA: [voiceover] We define ourselves by our family.

At the MIKAELSON COMPOUND, Klaus is still laying in a coffin, where the golden dagger Kol and Davina made is still stabbed into his chest, desiccating his body. Rebekah and Elijah stand beside him, looking conflicted and guilty about what they've done to him

[voiceover] From birth, we share their names...

In the BAYOU, Hayley, Jackson, and the rest of the Crescent pack are busy unloading their vehicles while Hayley holds onto Hope and Mercy protectively

DAHLIA: [voiceover] ...Entrust them to protect that which we hold most dear.

Suddenly, Klaus awakens with a gasp, only he is no longer laying daggered in the compound-- instead, he is laying on the ground in a village near a forest where he is half-leaning against a stone wall that wraps around a small cottage. He breathes deeply as he takes in his surroundings, and eventually notices that Dahlia is standing in front of him with a small smirk on her face

And thus, Niklaus, you find yourself here with me.

[sighs] Dahlia.

He looks down at his chest to find that the dagger is gone, but he is still bleeding from a wound right in front of his heart

What have you done to me? [He stands to his feet and approaches her] Where is my daughter?

He lunges for Dahlia, but she vanishes into thin air, only to reappear behind him. This only makes Klaus more frustrated

Get out of my head!

DAHLIA: [smiles patronizingly] I'm not in your head. You're in mine. And, seeing as you lie daggered by your own beloved brother, you have no choice but to listen. [Klaus looks at her warily] I have a proposition for you! Come along.

She starts to walk away from the cottage, farther into the village, and Klaus looks unhappy and suspicious as he reluctantly follows behind her. As he does so, the sound of Dahlia's song played on a violin is heard around them]

ST. LOUIS CATHEDRAL

Elijah has just arrived in the bell tower of the cathedral to meet with Freya and determine the next step in their plan. Freya has begun to panic when Elijah updates her on recent events

Hayley is gone?! You need to get her and the babies back here, immediately!

[calmly] When Dahlia has been defeated. For now, they are safe.

Freya frantically starts setting up the components of a spell

Nowhere is safe from Dahlia, and we will have no chance of ending her without the twins

E [slightly suspicious] What are you saying?

Dahlia is protected by a powerful magic. We have collected items that represent her vulnerabilities-- sacred soil, the ash of a fallen Viking, and the blood of the witch who broke her heart.

Yours.

Yes. Now, I will use these ingredients to create a "killing ground" where Dahlia will be rendered mortal, but... we need to lure her there, Elijah.

[not impressed] Are you suggesting that I position both of my nieces as bait?

Freya stops setting up her spell, but remains speechless, which Elijah takes as a "yes"

Well, how wonderfully convenient, to offer this strategy when Niklaus has been removed.

Klaus cannot be reasoned with.
