As the guys argue in the living room about Davina's sudden disappearance, Diana sneaks outside to check on her niece. "What going on, Hayley?"

"So the witch is missing, huh?"

"Yeah," Rebekah says, joining the conversation. "Walked right out of the front door, apparently. Know anything about it?"

"No, although I did tell her that the witch Elders were dead."

"And that helps how?" Diana asks.

"Yeah, why would she care, when the witches tried to kill her in their ritual?"

"I think it was more that Marcel didn't tell her that the one thing preventing her from being free had been eliminated."

"Great, just amazing." Diana mutters.

"Hey, I was just telling her the truth. She's the one who realized they were just using her to keep their control over the witches."

"Yeah well, I've never been a fan of the boys club. Just wait, Elijah will join them and the three of them will be impossible. Used by the witches, lied to by Marcel, manipulated by Elijah, threatened by Klaus. Just like a modern-day Casket Girl."

"Are you talking about Davina or yourself?"

"Does it matter? Either way, us girls have got to stick together." Rebekah leaves. "I mean, there's someone else we can ask." They go to Elizabeth's room. "I don't know anything." Elizabeth claims.

"Really?" Diana asks.

"Yes. I told her if we could make amends and she said yes and next thing I know, she's gone. Plus, I know that she knew that if she would've told me, I would've told you immediately. I mean, it was my job to keep an eye on her."

"Actually, it still is." Hayley replies.

"Well, I though I'd get a little help considering that she's living here now." Hayley looks away. "If anything, it was probably a certain someone who couldn't keep her mouth shut about certain plans."

"That's it. You two have to stop fighting." Diana says as Hayley gets a call. She sees it's Sophie. "Um, I have to take this."

"Sure." Diana sends her off. "What the hell do you want?" Hayley says to Sophie as she stands in an empty room. 

"I know you don't trust me, but you need to listen. Everything is about to change. Davina's on the loose."

"Figured that out on your own, huh? Remind me again why I should give a damn?"

"I need something from you so that the witches can complete the Harvest."

"On what planet would I help you witches get more power? All you've done is hex me left and right."

"You'll help me because if we don't complete the Harvest, our access to magic will fade for good, which doesn't bode well for your family."

"What do you know about my family?"

"You're from the Crescent Wolf bloodline. Marcel forced a witch to curse them so they'd be trapped in wolf form."

"And I should keep listening to you because...?"

"Because my bloodline executed that curse. Help me complete the Harvest, and I'll undo the curse for you."

"But what can I do?"

"I need to consecrate the remains of a powerful witch so I can absorb their magic. I know of one whose body was never found. Her name is Celeste DuBois. I believe you and she have a friend in common?"

"Elijah..."

"Story goes that when she died, he buried her in a secret spot at her request. All you have to do is find out where."
