Inside of the laboratory in one of the Kingmaker offices, Klaus gently removes the werewolf venom-removing apparatus from one of the werewolves' face when Kiara joined him.

"Help me with this one." Klaus says to the quadribrid.

Kiara and Klaus work together to help the werewolf, a middle-aged man, out of his restraints and gently help him sit down before Macy bites her wrist and offers it to him but the wolf pushes her wrist away.

"No vampire blood..."The man weakly declines.

"That's okay. The others drank. I'm a hybrid. It's okay, we won't hurt you." Kiara sighed.

The werewolf looks at them hesitantly, and Kiara nods in encouragement and said "Go on."

The werewolf reluctantly drinks the blood while Klaus brainstorms what they've just learned.

"He needed their venom. He harvested the venom he needed, then reverse-engineered a vaccine. Clever stuff." Klaus explained as he looks around, eventually finding a small refrigerator that he opens to find a vial of cloudy white liquid.

"And her? The dead vampire?"Kiara asked as she jerks her head to the dead vampire woman who is still strapped to the exam table.

"It was the wolf venom that killed her. Just Lucien testing his cure." Klaus explained examined the vials.

"Why does he need to test out something he knows already works?" Kiara frowned, puzzled.

Still searching for answers, Valerie finished helping the last of the werewolves when Klaus hangs up his phone and returns to the main room in the laboratory to talk to Kiara.

"Freya's safe." Klaus announced.

"What about the others?" Kiara asked.

"They are okay. And Finn's in a bad way. Some kind of werewolf bite. Elijah thinks I should return home and heal him. Ease his pain."Klaus shrugged.

"Nik, you should go. As soon as these last few recover, I'll get them home, gather what I can, and torch this place." Kiara mumbled.

"No. Finn can purge it himself. He's earned the agony. Besides, you know how much I love burning things to the ground." Klaus chuckled.

"Nik, when you said that you wanted to work together for Bianca and Wyatt's sake, I wanted to know what that looked like. And now, I do. I appreciate you helping me rescue the wolves, but if there is any chance of making Finn an ally, you should take it. Go." Kiara said as she entwine her hand with his.

Once Klaus leaves the building to aid Finn, Kiara pours gasoline all over the laboratory, including the dead vampire's corpse, while the middle-aged werewolf man watches her. When she's done, she walks over to speak with him.

"Go outside and tell the others to keep their eyes peeled for trouble. As soon as this place burns, I'll take you back to the Crescents." Kiara instructed and the man shakes his head.

"I'm not from there. One was. He died last week. We're from the seven packs: Deep Water, Malraux, BasRoq, Barry, Poldark... I'm a Paxon." The man frowned.

"Wow. They had to look long and hard to find one of you." Kiara blinked.

"They wanted our venom. They hey kept... pumping it into her over and over and over again. Then they'd heal her with some drug. Except the last time. They shot her up with something so powerful... there was no saving her." The man says, nodding as he walked toward Kiara and pointed to the dead vampire.

The tribrid looks horrified by this information for a moment before returning to the task at hand and she spoke "Go. I'm gonna burn this hellhole."

The man nods sadly and leaves. Kiara, looking furious, reaches into her pocket and pulls out a lighter before lighting it and throwing it at the feet of the dead vampire before she turns and walks away. The laboratory quickly bursts into flames behind her.
