Rebekah parks in front of the Mikaelson mansion, leaving a message on her phone as she gets out. Beth, inside, hears something and walks warily down the stairs.

"Elijah, if not answering your phone is part of your clever plan to get me back to this godforsaken city, then well done. I'm here, and I'm worried. Now pick up before I kick in your bloody door." Rebekah said as she stood on the phone

Rebekah walks up the front steps and opens the door. She walks in as Beth comes down the stairs, wielding a fire iron.

"Who the hell are you?" Beth asked

"Oh, you must be the maid. My bags are in the car – get them, will you?" Rebekah said

Beth, smiling wryly, puts down the iron poker.

" Hello. Not the maid." Beth said

"Right. You're that human girl my brother, Klaus, knocked up. I was expecting to see some kind of supernatural, miracle baby bump. Guess you're not showing yet. It's Beth, isn't it?"

" You have your brother's manners."

"And his temper, too, so watch it. Where's Elijah?" Rebekah asked

"Beats me. He's long gone" Beth said

"What do you mean, "long gone"?"

"Well, one minute he was here making epic promises about protecting me in this predicament that a bottle of scotch and some bad decisions got me into – he was all poetic about how we're family – and then Klaus told me he bailed. Guess that's what I get for trusting a vampire." Beth said

"Elijah is not just any vampire, and he doesn't break promises. Which means Niklaus has done something dastardly and Klaus-like. Klaus! Get out here and tell me what you've done with our brother, you narcissistic, back-stabbing wanker!" Rebekah said as Klaus opens a pair of doors and enters the room.

" Enough with all the shouting. Little sister, I should have known. I assume the six dead vampires were your doing?"

"They were very rude."

Adelaide walked in and glanced around

"Anyone know where Elijah is" she asked as Beth saw klaus pull a face

✨✨✨

Beth sat in the house with Adelaide as Klaus' phone starts buzzing. He checks it, stands and moves to leave.

"Where are you going?" Rebekah asked

" It appears the night is not quite over, yet. I'm off for another drink with Marcel." Klaus asked

"Elijah told me about your plan to take apart Marcel's empire piece by piece. I don't remember it involving you two drinking New Orleans dry together."

"I know you don't have many friends, Rebekah, but what some friends do when they get together is they drink. And when they drink, they tell secrets. Marcel has somehow found a way to control the entirety of witches in the Quarter, and I aim to uncover the 'how' so I might take it for myself. Finding Elijah didn't make my to-do list today."
