RECAP:

LOCKWOOD MANSION

It's nighttime. A half-full moon is in the sky.

Carol: opens the front door and lets Liz in.

Sheriff Forbes: Carol, what's so urgent that you called an emergency council meeting at this hour?

Carol: I didn't call the meeting, Liz.

They walk towards the living room together.

Carol: He did.

Dark Vampire Alaric: is in the room with all of the other council members. Join us, Sheriff. I was just telling the council about our vampire problem. Or should I say your problem.

Sheriff Forbes: What do you think you're doing?

Dark Vampire Alaric: Well, perhaps you and the mayor can enlighten the group on the strides you've taken to eliminate the issue. Oh, that's right, you haven't. You see the Sheriff, a woman we elected to keep our families safe and town secure, has a vampire for a daughter.

The council members gasp and look at her.

Dark Vampire Alaric: And our lovely Mayor, a son who is half-vampire, half-werewolf.

Carol: Why are you doing this?

Dark Vampire Alaric: These women are hypocrites. They claim to spearhead our defense against the supernatural presence, then cover up the violent attacks committed by their children.

Sheriff Forbes: That's enough. We're done here. It's time to go. starts to leave....

Dark Vampire Alaric: rushes to the doorway and blocks her way out.

The Council members seem surprised by Alaric's speed.

Dark Vampire Alaric: Sit down, Liz. We're just getting started.

KLAUS MANSION IN THE PARLOR ROOM

Hope: speeds towards the parlor room. He isn't here? Dad?! Where is dad?!?

Henrick: speeds towards the parlor room. I checked everywhere.

Rebekah: speeds into the room. and he isn't answering his phone.

Sage: Before we think something bad happened to him what if he was the one who daggered Elijah. It's not like he hasn't before.

Rebekah: He cleans up after himself or has one of his witches to put us in coffins immediately.

Hope: start hyperventilating.

The room starts to shake.

Rebekah: Hope, you need to breathe.

Hope: BREATHE?! My dad is missing? Uncle Elijah been daggered? Something is going to happen and I hate not knowing what that is. How can I breathe?

The room is shaking the more she gets into her feelings.

Henrick: moves his hands from Hope's shoulder to elbow gently to soothe her.

Hope: calms a bit.

Henrick: looks Hope into the eye. "Copy my moves, sweetheart." breathes in.

Hope: copies Henrick and breathes in.

Henrick: Breathes out.

Hope: copies Henrick and breathes out.
