In Esther's study

Finn is sharpening a knife while Esther is burning some sage. There's a knock on the door.
Esther: That'd be the girl.
Finn walks over to the door and opens it, revealing Elena standing there alone.
Finn: You're alone. Wise choice.
Elena walks in and notices Esther holding the sage.
Esther: It's only sage. I've spelled it so we can speak freely without fear of being overheard. That'll be all Finn, thank you. Finn leaves. You must have a million questions for me Elena. Please.
Esther gestures towards the sofa and they sit on it.
Elena: How are you alive? Are you a ghost? Or...
Esther: Not exactly. When I died the witch Ayana preserved my body with a spell. She was a close friend of mine, an ancestor of your friend Bonnie.
Elena: So that's why only Bonnie and her mother could open up the casket.
Esther: They complete the Bennett bloodline. I drew power from them and their ancestors who were with me on the other side.
Elena: So you've been on the other side for a thousand years?
Esther: Nature's way of punishing me for turning my family into vampires. But there is a way for me to undo the evil I created.
Elena: You're gonna help us kill Klaus, aren't you?
Esther: One thing at a time Elena. For now, I simply need your help.

Outside the mansion:

Caroline is outside, admiring the horses. Klaus approaches her.
Klaus: You like horses?
Caroline: I'm not talking to you until you tell me why you invited me here.
Klaus: I fancy you. Is that so hard to believe?
Caroline: Yes!
Klaus: Why? You're beautiful, you're strong, you're full of light. I enjoy you.
Caroline: Well I'm spoken for. By Tyler.
Klaus: But I thought you two ended things.
Caroline: Yeah, because of you and your freaky sire bond with him.
Klaus: So you aren't spoken for. You know, horses are the opposite of people. They're loyal. My father hunted me for a thousand years and the closest he ever came was the day he killed my favorite horse. He severed its neck with a sword as a warning.
Caroline: Did you ever consider sitting down with your father and talking it out?
Klaus: Well, I'm afraid my relationship with my father was a little bit more complex than yours.
Caroline: Maybe so. But I let my father go with no regrets. And to answer your question, yes, I like horses. But I also like people and they actually like me so I'll be inside.
Caroline leaves.

In Esther's study

she's lighting some candles.
Esther: I understand Rebekah shared the story of my family. How I upset the balance of nature by turning my children into vampires.
Elena: She said you did it to protect them from the werewolves.
Esther: It's true. But in no time at all, they began to feed on human blood. They ravaged the town with no remorse. Eventually, Niklaus turned against me.
Elena: How are you gonna kill him? He's immortal.
Esther: It will take time, magic, and your assistance.
Elena: What do I have to do with it?
Esther: My children believe I'm holding this ball to celebrate our reunion. But in truth I've gathered them together to perform a ritual. The first step requires blood from the doppelgänger. Only a drop. Its essence will be in the champagne toast later on this evening. Will you do it or shall I?
Esther is holding a long thin knife in her hands. Elena looks taken aback, but after a moment's consideration she removes her glove and gives her finger to Esther to prick. Esther pricks it and squeezes the blood into a glass chalice that's filled with liquid.

Esther: Elijah is more suspicious than the others and I am sure the mirlin witch is suspicious, so they may need more persuasion. But they must all drink at the toast in order to be linked as one.
Elena: wait you are going to kill Clara too, and What do you mean "linked as one"?
Esther: You said yourself Klaus can't be killed. But tonight's spell links all my children together, so that if one goes, they all go and for the witch she will try to stop me if I didn't kill her first.
Elena: What?
Esther: I love my family, Elena, but they are an abomination. I betrayed nature when I created them. It's my duty to kill them.

In the Foyer

Kol is walking with Rebekah.
Kol: I'm itching to kill something. What are we waiting for?
Rebekah: The mayor cornered me. Give me fifteen minutes to lure Matt outside.
Kol: Outside? What's wrong with right here on the stairs? Make a spectacle of it.
Rebekah: You sound like an idiot, Kol. Mother would kill you if you ruined her party. See you outside.

Rebekah left and kol saw Clara walking so he went to her.

Kol: is it not the famous black witch
Clara: what do you want kol
Kol: I just want to know you more is there something wrong with that
Clara: of course not but knowing your family for long I know you don't talk to people with out wanting something
Kol: OK you caught me there i am interested in your magic
Clara: I can feel that
Kol: so would you give me a chance to be your friend
Clara: sure it is not like you are the first mikaelson to be my friend
Kol was gaming to say something when Clara saw elena coming downstairs
Clara: kol if you excuse me for a minute
Kol: but we didn't...
Clara: I will catch with you later

Clara went from the back so elena can't see her

In the foyer

Damon is waking up.
Stefan: Easy, buddy. Don't want you doing anything stupid.
Damon gets up and rushes at Stefan.
Damon: Where's Elena?
Stefan: Exactly where she belongs, talking with Esther.
Damon: What did you do?
Stefan: Ah, don't blame me. This was all her, right down to the broken neck.
Stefan pushes Damon off him.
Stefan: You know, maybe you should stop being such a controlling dick, Damon.
Damon: Wait. Hang on. I'm the problem here?
Stefan: You're a liability, brother.
Damon: I'm trying to keep her alive, Stefan.
Stefan: Yeah, well, your emotions are getting in the way of our plan.
Damon: My emotions? How is this even happening right now?
Stefan: Maybe because you care too damn much.
Rebekah and Matt are walking outside through the cars parked on the lawn.
Matt: So...What are we doing out here?
Rebekah: Just taking a break from the polite chit-chat.
Matt: It's freezing. Let me get my coat.
Matt walks over to his car and opens the door.
Rebekah: This is your car?
Matt picks up his jacket from the car set.
Matt: Yep. He closes the car door. If I could compel myself a Maserati, I would. But I can't.
He puts his jacket over Rebekah's shoulders.
Rebekah: Oh! I'm a vampire. We don't...Thanks. She looks around briefly. Let's go back inside. I got all the fresh air I need.
Kol standing in the background watching coldly.

In the foyer
Elena is standing alone. Elijah sidles up to her he saw Clara hiding behind elena
Elijah: So how was my mother?
Elena: Intense.
Elijah: And for what reason did she need to speak with you in private?
He offers her a glass of champagne. Elena notices Esther on the staircase looking at her.
Elijah: Elena? Should I be concerned about my mother's intentions?
Elena: She just wanted to apologize for trying to have me killed.
Elijah: So it's true, then? She's forgiven Klaus?
Elena: It's true.

Elena left and elijah went to Clara
Elijah: so?
Clara: shh she is looking
She went outside and elijah followed her Clara made sure no one was looking and made a spell so no one could hear them

Clara: this bitch
Elijah: so she is trying to kill him
Clara laughing: not just him all of us
Elijah: what do you mean us
Clara: she is trying to kill all your sibling and me saying that I will stop her
Elijah: and what are you going to do
Clara: just tell them not to drink the champagne
Clara stopped the spell and her and elijah went to tell the others

Crystal rings. Esther addresses the guests from the staircase. She has a glass of red-tinged champagne in her hand.

Esther: Good Evening, Ladies and Gentleman. Waiters are coming around with champagne. I invite you all to join me in raising a glass. It provides me with no greater joy then to see my family back together as one. I'd like to thank you all for being part of this spectacular evening. Cheers!
Everyone: Cheers!
Everyone drinks from their glasses, including all the Original vampires.

Clara went inside but it was too late Clara took two glasses and give one to elijah
Elijah: what are...
Clara: cheers
She drowned the glass in one shot so elijah looked at her and did the same
