Season 3: Episodes 6,7,8
Multiple Episodes

The scream Åse had let out left the whole room tensed. On the Mystic Falls side of the room everyone looked scared of the female Original. The entire time she had been seen on-screen she hadn't been this angry. It was the same with her sitting only a dozen feet away and literally threatening them. On the Originals side they all had the same expression of surprised anger. This was mostly because of Mikael's name being spoken.

While all of the Originals were afraid, Åse and Klaus seemed to be the tensest. Mikael believes that they were both abominations who should perish from this world. They hated him with every fiber in their bodies.

Klaus would never say it loud, but he was scared of Mikael. The man he grew up knowing as his father, the man who had abused him, the man who had chased him across the Earth for a thousand years just so he could kill him, was his biggest weakness. Klaus Mikaelson hates weakness.

Åse had to close her eyes to restrain her powers. The way she reacted on-screen was exactly what she wanted to do now. Yes, she had the same fear as the other Originals, but it was for a different reason. She was more afraid of Mikael being able to kill part of her family than herself. The fact that she and the rest of the Originals have had to deal with him for a thousand years has made her extremely bitter and angry.

The room had been stewing in an extraordinarily tense silence for several minutes. The screen had been black the whole time as to let everyone have a break while they processed what was happening. After only a few more minutes of silent anger and fear the screen lit up with another message.

Dear everyone,

The next three episodes will be summarized in shorter clips.

You will be shown the most essential bits of information for your future.

Everyone was slightly confused but didn't comment because the screen turned on.

The first thing everyone saw was Damon walking down the stairs in the boarding house as loud music played. When he reaches the bottom, he has to step over two dead girls that he looks at in slight disgust. Continuing to walk through the house he reaches the living room and sees girls playing a bloody game of twister with Stefan spinning the wheel. As he walks in Stefan says, "Uh oh. Alexandra. Left hand, please." The girl gets up and walks over to the vampire with the designated limb extended. Stefan casually feeds from the girl when Damon speaks up. "Hey, the two brunettes on the stairs owe me a Persian rug." Wiping any blood from his lips Stefan replies, "You mean they owe us a Persian rug. It's my house, too, brother." Not waiting for a response, he holds up the spinner and with a smile he asks, "Ooh. Would you like a spin?" Damon disregards anything his brother just said as he says, "So this is what Klaus had in mind when he compelled you to protect Elena?" As if it was obvious Stefan gestures towards said ladies and says, "These ladies are helping me be all that I can be." Damon is quiet as he just shakes his head.

Stefan was just about done seeing two different personalities of himself. He had been thinking about it since he saw the evidence that he was compelled to hate the Ripper. If he thought about anything the most it would be how free he must feel without Åse's compulsion constantly drilling itself into his mind.

On the other side of the room Åse was biting her bottom lip to suppress the smile wanting to break out. She had seen the conflict on Stefan's face and discreetly read his mind to see what he was thinking so hard about. She was not disappointed. Noticing his wife's expression Klaus gently took her hand in his to grab her attention. When Åse looked his way, he just quirked a brow in question. Not saying anything Åse pointed with her free hand over to the Mystic Falls side of the room.
