Diana is with Tyler. "So, you practically told him to f-off?"

"With violence...yeah." Suddenly, a girl walks in. "So, this is where you've been hiding, huh?" Tyler turns around and sees her. He gets up. "Hayley?!"

"Hey, Lockwolf!" They hug each other tightly for a long moment. When she pulls away, she cups his neck in her hands before she shoves him roughly in the chest. "Ass! I thought Klaus killed you." She looks at Diana. "Who's the pretty lady?"

"That's Diana...Klaus's..."

"Ex-wife."

"Of course, ex. Who would wanna be with him?"

"It was an arranged marriage...I'm sorry, you look familiar."

"I don't... remember you." Hayley says as Diana approaches her, brow furrowed in concentration. "Andrea? I never thought I'd see you again."

"Who's Andrea?"

"You, silly. You're my niece. Well, not niece but you're my sister's descendant. I knew it."

"No...no, what? You're a Marshall?"

"No...you're a Labonair."

"What's that?"

"You don't know your past? Andrea or Hayley...you're no Marshall."

Upstairs in the study, Hayley picks up a picture and looks at it when Klaus appears in the doorway behind her. "You're a new face." Hayley turns around and looks at him. "And I take it from your accent you're an old one. Klaus."

"My reputation precedes me. Hopefully not all bad."

"A little bad. Mostly repulsive."

"So, you're a friend of Tyler's? That's strange, he's never mentioned you." Diana walks upstairs. "Ew."

"Hello, love."

"Call me love again and I'll rip out your heart and eat it like an apple."

"I have a feeling that's gonna hurt."

"More you than me, but that's the purpose."

"I was just here meeting Tyler's new lady friend."

"And cheat on me...again?"

"I'm not like that."

"But you are." Hayley looks at the tension between them. "Go, aunt Di."

"What did you just call her?" Klaus furrows his brows. "It's a family reunion, now go back to the hole you crawled out of."

"I came here for a reason. To see Tyler."

"You visit him like he's your son."

"Well, if my son is in New Orleans..."

"Because of you."

"I have no other choice than to look for the next best thing."

"Or you could just be a good dad." Klaus walks away and goes looking for Tyler. "Now where were we..." Diana says turning to Hayley.
