To say Alaric was mad at Hope is an understatement

To say Alaric was mad at Hope is an understatement. Or angry is more like it, considering that the Mikaelson Tribrid tried prying info from The Necromancer. "I mean, how could you be so reckless?"

Alaric asked her before Hope closed the door to his office. "You weren't getting anywhere."

"And so you took it upon yourself? And how did that go?"

"Not well." Hope admitted to Ric.

"Yeah? Well, I have it under control, Hope."

"Oh, really?" Hope asked in a disbelief tone as she strides to Alaric's desk and picks up an empty bottle of bourbon from the garbage. "Then you want to explain this?" Then she picks up a full one from the desk drawer. "Or this? Or anything else that would explain your utter lack of progress?" Hope raised her voice as well at him.

"I am grieving, Hope." Alaric matched her tone.
"And maybe you should try that sometime instead of pushing everyone away." Hope scoffs at that as Ric continues. "Look, I am trying to protect you. That thing is a master manipulator.
It resurrected my fiancé, and Eli's dad and now his mom. Who knows how he's gonna take it when she disappears. It raised a cemetery of zombies and it brought back Rafael's dead girlfriend, so let's just talk about the ways in
which it could torment you, starting with your dead mother, ending with your dead father, and how about all the ghosts of all the people that you killed in between, huh?" Hope looks away with the tears almost building up at the mere mention of her mom and dad. "I can't believe you'd do this."

Hope shakes her head as the anger in her builds up and if one should remember that Hope isn't just Klaus' daughter, she's Hayley's daughter to. And this proves it with how she talks to Ric. Almost channeling her spirit. "Don't do that. You don't like that I broke your rules as a headmaster? Fine, punish me. But don't you dare
play disappointed dad, because you are not my father."

"Oh, I know that." Alaric replied as he sees Hope walking away from him. "And where are you doing?"

"To finish what I started. And after, I'm going to see if Eli's okay. Seeing as you're among the few gang that forgave his dad's murderer again." Hope harshly replied to him.

"Like hell you are." Before he can get to the door.

"Cloditay." Hope spelled the door.

"Hope..." he tries opening the door but it's no use. "Hope!" He kicks at the door in frustration.

Eli trailed Kaleb and MG quietly and sees the former with a kid from town. Which has Lockwood thinking that whatever Kaleb is going to do can't be good, so he stays close.

"Okay, young grasshopper. It's called Snatch,
Eat, Erase. All right? I read about it in Dr.
Saltzman's books about those Salvatore dudes that used to live in our school."
