Gracie runs round the trees as Elijah and Kol talk with Jenna about the old estates "The old Fell property actually starts just beyond that fence." she tells them. "Ah, the Fells. One of the Founding Families." Elijah says. "Why do you say it like that?" Jenna asks. "Our research showed me that this area was actually settled almost two full centuries earlier. It was a migration of townsfolk from the northeast, um, it was Salem, to be precise." Kol explains. "Massachusetts? As in the witch trials?" Jenna asks. "Which means the ever-lauded founding families...didn't actually found anything." Elijah tells her. "Well, I bet it was the men who made a big deal about being founders back in 1860. Men are very territorial." Jenna says. "Yes, they are." Elijah responds as Alaric walks over. Kol smiles and goes over to Gracie, picking her up "Elijah, Kol, this is my friend, Alaric Saltzman." Jenna introduces as Gracie waves. "Yeah, I got your message about walking Elijah and Kol here through the old property lines. I thought I would tag along. You know being a history buff and all. Where to next?" Alaric asks.

"We're pretty curious about the freed slave property owners. Some say, you know, the descendents of the slaves are the true keepers of American history." Kol smiles. "Well, I only brought the surveys. I got that list in the car. Just give me a sec." Jenna responds, walking to her car. "Alaric Saltzman. So you're one of those people on Elena's list of loved ones to protect." Elijah says, keeping up the pretence. "So is Jenna." Alaric responds. "You don't have to be jealous. I don't really pursue younger women. It's a joke, Ric, lighten up." Elijah tells him, patting him on the shoulder as he walks off. Kol follows him with Gracie still in his arms "We going home now?" Gracie asks in confusion. "Just for a bit Little Witch, then we'll do something like promised." Kol tells her with a smile. "Otay Papa Kol." Gracie smiles. Kol puts her in the car, Elijah smiling at how much Gracie is bring the family back together.

Once back at the Boarding House, Gracie runs in and over to Finn who is reading an old grimoire "Hello Unca Finn." she smiles. "Hello Lili, you have fun with Elijah and Kol?" Finn asks her. "Yeah, i did lots of running round the trees." Gracie smiles. Finn smiles and closes the grimoire "How would you like to learn a new spell later?" he asks. Gracie's face lightens up "Yeah, I like learning new ones." she smiles. Finn chuckles "Okay, we'll do it once I've spoken to you parents about it." he tells her. "Otay." Gracie nods, hugging him before running off again. "Speedy child coming through." Klaus chuckles as she runs past him to the kitchen, following her. Stefan chuckles and picks her up "Where you off to?" he asks. "Finding you, can I have lunch now pwease?" she asks. "Okay, what you want?" Stefan asks. "Uhhhh... ham sandwich, with cheese and grapes pwease." Gracie decides. "You want a cookie or cupcake after?" Stefan asks. "Cupcake pwease." Gracie smiles. "Okay, why don't you go find mummy?" Stefan suggests, putting her down. "Otay." Gracie nods, running off again. Stefan smiles as he watches her go "She's very special girl." Klaus smiles. "She is." Stefan nods, beginning to make Gracie's food.

Gracie sits at the table colouring while eating her lunch "Mummy, you do my hair later?" she asks, looking at Rebekah who is reading next to her. "Course I will Baby Girl." Rebekah smiles, kissing her head. Damon and Lexi walk in looking irritated "What's up with you two?" Stefan asks, putting Gracie's cupcake on her plate and giving Rebekah a kiss. "Daddy! Where my kiss?" Gracie pouts. "Sorry Baby." Stefan chuckles, kissing her head. "John Gilbert is back in town, he wants to meet with everyone for a dinner party." Lexi explains. "Apparently we're hosting. Alaric and Jenna are coming along aswell." Damon adds. "Why do we have to host?" Rebekah asks. "No idea." Damon responds, trying to steal one of Gracie's grapes. "My grapes Unca Damey, not yours." Gracie tells him. "I'm not allowed even one?" Damon pouts playfully. "No, get your own." Gracie responds, popping one in her mouth. Damon puts a hand to his chest "My niece wont share with me." he complains playfully, Gracie giggling at him. "You'll get over it." Stefan chuckles, kissing Gracie's head.
