Having been on a call with Marcel, Davina walked back into the bar and bumped into her date, the witch who had stood her up, Kaleb.

"Kaleb? What's happening?" she asked as people began to leave the bar.

"Some fellow just announced they were closing for a private party," he replied. Davina suddenly saw some werewolves surrounding them.

"We should leave now," she said anxiously.

"And what's your rush, sweetheart? Why don't you stay and party with us?" one of the wolves approached them.

"Get out of our way. Now," Davina said angrily. When the wolf didn't move, she thrust out her hand and he fell to the ground under a pain infliction spell.

"Can you do that with the rest of them, or...?" Kaleb asked nervously as other wolves began to surround them.

"...Not all at once."

A wolf lunged at Davina and shoved her across the room. Kaleb shoved him back, but was thrown across the room and into some glass bottles. As the wolves began to attack her, Davina twisted her bracelet, probably a magical one, and started chanting.

"Jwen mwen vennez ça maintenant," she chanted. A wolf grabbed her and was about to bite her in the neck, when Mikael appeared and threw him back.

"You filthy dogs," he said. Then he snapped some necks and ripped out some hearts. The wolves began to attack Davina again, and her bracelet, which she used to control Mikael, fell off. When he saw, he smiled. "Well, now. What an interesting turn of events," he picked Davina up by her shirt and his vampire face came out. "I'm going to enjoy this, girl."

As he was about to bite her, he was shoved off by someone who didn't recognize him at first, before she gasped.

"Father?" Keira asked in complete shock. Mikael was surprised for a moment, before he decided to explain who Klaus and Kol had inherited their manic smiles from.

"Hello, daughter. I'd hoped to see your brother first, but we have some unfinished business as well," he said. Keira growled and lunged at him, her father seeming to be trying less hard to beat his favorite child.

Keira managed to get the upper hand and twisted his arm backwards, breaking it.

"You little witch," Mikael said, flipping her over his shoulder and snapping his arm back into place. His daughter stood up with supernatural speed.

"Not anymore, thanks to you," she replied.

Marcel sped in and knelt by Davina, Kaleb watching the chaos in shock. "We're getting out of here."

"No! Marcel, I need my bracelet. I can use it to control him," Davina said frantically. Marcel noticed the bracelet and sped to get it.

Mikael pulled out the white oak stake, causing his daughter to lose her focus, and pinned her against the bar. She screamed in pain as he pierced her chest with the wood, pushing him away as much as she could.

From the bottles he had landed in, Kaleb suddenly muttered a few words only Keira heard, and Mikael flew back. Davina fumbled to get her bracelet on as Keira gasped in relief.

"STOP! Go back, NOW!" Davina yelled sternly at Mikael. He noticed she had her bracelet back, and then sighed and left angrily. Keira glared at Davina in horror.

"You resurrected my father?!?" she said angrily. Marcel looked at Davina, disappointed, before Davina shook her head and stormed out. Marcel followed, and Keira turned to Kaleb.

"Uh," he started.

"I know that spell you just said. I wrote it," she said. Kaleb smirked, and Keira smiled. "I don't believe it."

"I don't know what you're talking about," Kaleb said, standing up.

"Oh come on, brother, I taught you that spell for god's sake. You're not Kaleb Westphall. You're Kol Mikaelson. I would recognize that smirk anywhere."

Kaleb sighed. "Guess the act is over. For you, anyways. Please, don't tell anyone."

Keira smiled. "Of course not. Although, this Mikael problem might have to become public. Anything else you'd like to tell me?"

Kol looked down.

"Big brother, you know I could always tell when there was something you wanted to say."

"Finn is back too. He's possessing the witch Vincent Griffith. Please don't tell anyone that either."

"Is that all?"

Kol's phone dinged and he looked down at it. "I think our brothers can tell you the rest."

Keira walked up the into the compound, with a new secret and new information, also in complete panic. She walked in to Elijah and Klaus in Klaus's study.

"We're all here. Good. It is worse than we thought," Klaus said, too distracted to notice his sister panicking. He basically ripped the lid off a bottle of liquor and took a big gulp. "I met the witch, Cassie. I studied her-- her presence, the way she carried herself, the fervor with which she voiced her hatred of our kind. I looked into that girl's eyes, and, I swear to you, my siblings, she's not just guided by our mother. She is our mother."

Keira stared at him, overwhelmed, knowing that now four dead people had been resurrected. "What is happening?!?"

"I'm going to kill her. I will boil her bones and feed them to the dogs, if that's what it takes," Klaus said furiously.

"Nik-"

Klaus panicked. "What? What could possibly be more important than the return of our mother?"

Keira stared at him. "Our father just tried to kill me! Our father! I saw him standing there in the flesh as you do now. He was enslaved with some spell cast by Davina. He holds the stake. If she chooses to release him..."

Klaus and Elijah were visibly shocked by this revelation. For a second, Keira considered telling them about Kol and Finn just to push them over the edge, but decided not too since she always favored Kol anyways. Klaus looked even more determined.

"Well, then there's only one question we need to ask, isn't there? Which of our parents do we kill first?"

The next day, Hayley was munching on fruit from the assortment of breakfast foods on some random tray when Klaus came out to join her.

"So, which restaurant's missing a compelled chef?" she asked.

Klaus looked confused. "It's certainly a card I've played in the past, but I had no hand in this..."

"Hmm. Well, then, I guess we have Elijah to thank?" Hayley replied.

Elijah came down the stairs at the mention of his name. "This wasn't my doing... sister?!? Come down!"

Keira came down and saw the food. "Not me, if I was the one who did it there would be a lot more vamp friendly... uh, snacks."

"Then, where did this all come from?" Hayley asked.

The silver lid on one of the platters began to rustle. Klaus looked uneasy, but lifted it, and two black starlings flew out. All four of them ducked instinctively, before standing up straight again. Noticing that the birds were starlings, the three Mikaelson's present all exchanged looks, while Hayley looked confused.

"What the hell was that?" she asked. Keira looked down at an invitation on the platter.

"Dinner, your home, 8pm," Elijah read.

"An invitation from our mother," Klaus said. Everyone exchanged looks in concern.
