The normally blonde siphon witch stands behind the mic,
"I'm here today to deliver the eulogy for Elizabeth Jenna Saltzman. Lizzie was more than one thing," she begins.
"She was a witch, a daredevil, a lover," the girl says. The crowd begins to erupt in murmurs, "Was she a saint? Eh, who's to say?" Lizzie, under her disguise, says. "But I can say this. She was the absolute best of us," the girl finishes.
The crowd erupts into laughter, "She was a kind soul," the girl continues trying to ignore the laughter but it grows in volume, "She was kind, and nice," the siphon says more forcefully this time. "And sometimes she was just tired or having a bad day, or whatever," the girl says with a roll of her eyes." And she was my cousin""You all think you knew her, but you didn't," the girl says. The girl notices that no one is paying attention anymore as they laugh, "You're all wrong!" she shouts as the teens storm away.

"Bad reaction in," Klaus starts. "Three," Rebekah counts. "Two," Kai continues the count. "One," Kol and Davina say in unison. "My reaction is totally justified,"
Lucifer says.
As Lizzie storms out, someone else storms in or more like bursts in. The windows burst, and the glass covers the crowd. "Oh brother," Ash whispers. Lucifer uses his magic and comes out of the new broken window covered in blood.
Herink appears next to his nieces and nephews and sits, "Oh, bloody hell," the Original says. As soon as the dark-haired Mikaleson appears, the laughter stops, "You are all hypocrites," Lucifer says as he comes behind the mic. "I mine as well. Just kill you all now," Lucifer adds. Lucifer uses his vampire speed and bites into someone's throat, the dark haired Mikaelson uses his magic and makes the entire crowd's blood vessels pop. In the commotion, no one notices that the person Lucifer drank from was a vampire. Lucifer stops his magic and disappears in the blink of an eye.
"You just killed that person," Caroline exclaims. "That person is a vampire," Lucifer argues, his tone sounding as if he is speaking to a small child.
In Josie's subconscious, the pig leads ivy to a cabin in the woods. The pig knocks on the door, and it creaks open,
"That's strange. He's always home," he says. "Hello? Mr.
Huntsman. I brought a nosy friend," the pig announces.
Ivy scoffs, the pig sniffs the air, "Oh, stew's on. He must be nearby," the pig announces. "Ah. Nice," the Tribrid says sarcastically. "Sweetie, if you think that's enough to stop the Darkness, you are crazy," the pig says. "Probably, but I'm not going down without a fight," ivy says as she picks up an ax. "What do you say?" Ivy asks brandishing a knife. "Are you in?" she asks. "I-I would be no use in battle, the pig says. "I-I know, I bluster a lot. But, uh, I just get so scared, and then I say dumb stuff when I'm scared," the pig stutters. "Yeah, I know," he says. "1-I could finish the stew, though," the pig decides, heading over to the pot of stew.
"Maybe find some bread. Uh, make you a nice meal before you go off to die," the pig taunts. "That'll do, pig," ivy retorts. The pig turns and glares at the girl, and despite herself, ivy smirks. "Don't press your luck, kiddo," he
mutters.
Josie turns to her cousin ivy  and smiles, ivy knew how to make good of a dark situation, and that is exactly what the girl was doing.
Mr. Pig opens the lid to the pot. After a moment, the hunter's head bobs to the top. "Ah..." he squeals. "It's a trap!" he warns. Ivy turns to the pig, and then there is a roar right outside the door. "Little witch, little witch," the wolf taunts. Ivy uses her magic to close the door and barricade it. "Let...me...in!" he growls, accenting each word with a pound on the wooden door.
"What kind of fairytale is this," Bonnie asks. "Did you used to have these fairytales as bedtime stories," Kol asks. The twins nod, "yikes," the Original mutters. The teenagers  Salvatore and Mikaelson  exchange a look with their younger cousin and they have a conversation with their eyes. The bedtime stories could be worse.
Josie opens her eyes, and they are black, "ivy Salvatore Mikaelson... are you in my head?" she asks. She then falls to the ground as she enters her own mind prepared to fight
Ivy.

"She figured it out," Damon says. "Too late," Josie and ivy say in unison.
Alaric gasps awake and looks around, "Wh-What, what's going on?" he asks. The Necromancer announces himself,
"This pub's under new management," the Necromancer says. The former vampire hunter slams a glass bottle onto the bar to make a weapon. The Necromancer chuckles, "Dr.
Saltzman! He'll make us fight you," Raf says. "Don't," he adds. "He just wants to talk," Alyssa says. "It's true. I have an offer for you," the Necromancer says. "I'm not making any deals with you," Alaric growls. "Not even if it saves your daughter?" the Necromancer asks, catching Alaric's attention. "Turns out we both want the same thing. To get that black magic out of her and send her home," the Necromancer says. "Yeah, but I'm doing that without your help," Alaric says. "By which you mean that little suicide mission into her mind?" the Necromancer says. Alaric gives him a look shocked that he knew about that. "Ah, it's going to fail, I'm afraid. She already suspects you're up to something. It's only a matter of time before she figures out what you're up to and puts an end to it," the Necromancer says. "I wouldn't care either way, but.. The Necromancer trails off. He sighs before continuing, "..I want that black magic for myself, and that wretched girl out of my life. The good Josie is still in there, deep down. I've seen it," the Necromancer says. Alaric turned to his two students and the innocent bystander Chad, "You set them free, too. No strings attached," Alaric bargains. The Necromancer chuckles and shrugs, "Why not? I'll raise these puppets, then I'll sever my tie with them," the Necromancer says as he circles the puppets. "Can you bring back Landon, too?" Raf asks. "Of course," the Necromancer says, waving it off.
Raf exchanges a look with Alaric, "You said you wanted a way to save both of us. Come on, you gotta do it," Raf says.
"Listen to the lad," the Necromancer says. "Yeah, but there's no way I can trust you," Alaric says. The Necromancer picks up a grimoire, "An unbreakable covenant spell, then," he says. "If both of us don't hold up our end of the bargain, neither of us gets what we want," the Necromancer says. "You lose your puppets, and I lose me magic. No exceptions," the Necromancer says. The Necromancer snaps his fingers, and the three puppets leave the bar, "When you've made up your mind, you know how to signal me," he says, following the puppets.
"Is it going to fail," hope asks. "Or is it already on it's way to succeeding," Mikaya adds. "He knows that if he is going to give an inch, he should get a mile in return," Klaus says. "And that spell is iron clad," Kol voices. "No one said anything;" caroline says. "I was beating the peanut gallery," Kol replies.
The wolf knocks down the door and uses some sort of magic to throw ivy into a wall. The wolf growls as it approaches the pig. The pig squeals as the wolf grabs onto him, and the wolf begins to eat the small pig as ivy looks up at the scene. "No!" she shouts. The wolf groans as ivy  uses her magic to stop them. Ivy uses an ax to kill the wolf, "Pig!" Ivy shouts as she watches the curly tail go deeper into the wolves mouth. In her anger, ivy slices the wolves mouth. In her anger, ivy slices the wolf's torso, and a hand pops out of the wolf's chest. The hand is closer to human than pig and when the girl rises to her full height, she looks up at ivy and ivy's eyes widen when she sees Josie dressed like she belongs in a fairytale. "What's going on? Where's Pig," ivy asks, looking around the cabin. "Oh, uh...l-I was the pig," Josie admits nervously. "I thought if I disguised myself, the Darkness would leave me alone," Josie explains.
"You were the pig?" Ivy asks, letting her mouth drop open in shock.
