In the Mikaelson Family Mansion, Klaus is feverishly trying to get the piece of white oak stake out of his back. He is scratching his own flesh off, leaving the wound on his back a bloody mess, when Lamar enters.

"Niklaus, we need to talk." He hears Klaus groan in pain. "What happened to you?"

"Silas. He attacked me. He stabbed me with the white oak stake. A piece of it is still inside me."

"Oh my god, Nik, that could kill you."

The injured man laughs humorlessly. "Well, I certainly feel like I'm dying."

Lamar reaches for Klaus' face, stroking it. When he speaks, he doesn't sound like Lamar.

"Hey. As much as I would love to watch you die, you still haven't found me that cure."

"Silas!" he exclaims, pushing the man away and falling to the floor.

"That's right. Last night I looked like Shane, today I look like Lamar, and tomorrow-who knows?"

"Show me your real face," Klaus demands through gritted teeth.

"Now why would I do that when I can look like whomever I want you to see?" Silas approaches him, who shudders in fear. "Resist me all you want, Klaus, but until you bring me the cure I will bring you nothing but misery." He disappears and Klaus relaxes painfully.

A while later, the real Lamar shows up shouting for the downed hybrid.

"Nik! You've been blowing up my phone and now I can't even find you! If this is a prank, I swear I'll desiccate you."

"Go away."

"Nik? Where are you?" He finds Nik shirtless sitting on the floor, leaning on a piano seat. "What happened?"

"I need more time. Stop hounding me!"

Lamar stares in disbelief. "Hounding you? You messaged me to come here, many times might I add. I'm only here so that you'll stop and I can continue on with my life."

He looks at the other man with hope. "Lamar. Is it really you?"

Lamar looks surprised. Nik struggles to pull himself onto the piano seat and lean against the piano.
"Prove it to me."

"I don't know what your problem is, but I'm not bouta waste my time on your bullshit. Bye, Nik." He turns around and starts to leave.

Nik calls out, panicked. "Wait, please. Silas. He stabbed me with the white oak stake." Lamar turns around, crossing his arms. "There's a– a piece of it stuck inside me."

"Why would Silas attack you?"

"Well, I was in no position to ask questions. Suffice it to say, I'm hurt. So you can understand why I called you."

The black haired man laughs softly. "You cheated on me and you think I'm the person to call for help?"

"If I die, you and Calix will, too."

Lamar thinks for a moment and walks closer. "What do you want me to do?"

Nik lets out a relieved sigh. "Well, it's quite simple, really. I need you to cut the stake out of me."

He looks down at a pair of bloody pliers lying on the rug. Lamar looks at them, perturbed.

Moments later, Nik is bracing himself against the piano while Lamar uses the pair of pliers to try to dig out the white oak stake.

"Oh, my god. You do have a heart."

Nik yells in pain through gritted teeth as Lamar moves the pliers in his back.
