(Rebekah is sitting in the bathtub, holding a glass of champagne in one hand and her cellphone in the other.)
Rebekah: You mean to tell me, after all these years, Marcel is alive and well?
Elijah: Quite. Our brother seems to have wandered into a war zone. And I haven't been able to find him. Marcel, who Klaus sired and brought up beneath his own wing, now rules a menagerie of savage vampires running wild, killing in public for any human to come upon. Witches are held in subjugation. I doubt Niklaus had any idea what he was walking into.
Rebekah: Sorry, what was that? I stopped paying attention at "our brother".
Elijah: Rebekah.
Rebekah: Our hateful, traitorous bastard of a brother, who's negated any sympathy I once had for him by his repeated efforts to ensure neither you nor I know happiness outside of his own selfish universe.
Elijah: Always and forever, Rebekah, that is what we once swore to each other.
Rebekah: Consider this me calling take-backs.
Elijah: Well, you've called take-backs dozens of times over the centuries and yet when our father found us and chased us from this very city...
Rebekah: I may be old, Elijah, but I'm hardly senile. I know very well I stuck with Klaus, and not three years later he stuck a silver dagger in my chest and sent me into a magical slumber for ninety years. Do you know why? Because I had the audacity to try and live my life on my own without him.
Elijah: Enough. I believe our brother's in trouble, so what ever is going on between Marcel and the witches, it's dire enough that they'd risk bringing an Original back to town. The witches have lured him here, I'd like to know why.(Elijah hangs up the phone.)
(Present time, An alley behind Rousseau's, New Orleans)
(Elijah is standing in front of
"Rousseau's". Sophie Deveraux leaves the restaurant through a backdoor. She goes to a little table with burning candles on it. A dog barks somewhere. Sophie starts crying and talking to her dead sister.)
Sophie: Oh, you got me into this, Jane. Give me the strength to finish it.
(The door snaps shut. Sophie turns around. Suddenly, two vampires jump into the alley.)
Sophie: The doors work, you know.
Vampire 1: You're doing magic?
Sophie (raising her voice): I'm praying to my dead sister. Go ahead, pay your respects.
Vampire 2: Don't make this a thing, Sophie. The hybrid was looking for Jane-Anne. Marcel wants to know why.
Sophie: I'd say ask her yourself, but I guess you can't, seeing as Marcel killed her.
(One of the vampires speeds up and grabs Sophie. But suddenly, he disappears. Sophie looks around, afraid; the second Vampire is confused. Something falls to the ground. It's the heart of the other vampire. The second vampire looks up and then turns around to attack Sophie, but before he reaches her, he is also grabbed by a dark shadow. The vampire gets thrown at the wall, a dagger stuck in his chest. Elijah stands near Sophie, looking at the dead vampire.)
