The witches have gathered to say goodbye to Sophie, who, unbeknownst to most, was killed by her niece Monique. Monique stands emotionless outside the Deveraux tomb with a candle as a man lays bricks over Sophie's grave. Elijah appears and quickly takes out three people at vampire speed, Monique is not phased, but other witches gasp. Elizabeth takes her. "My siblings have been taken. Where are they?" Elijah asks the teen.

"You're interrupting my Aunt Sophie's consecration." The vampires look back. "What? How?" Elizabeth asks.

"Aunt Sophie was a casualty of war." Elizabeth narrows her eyes at the witch's response. "Monique, I recommend you give me what I want. Unless, of course, you'd like me to level this place and everything in it." Elijah says.

"That won't be necessary. I have a message for you from Celeste." She raises her hand toward Elijah and starts casting a spell on him. Elijah, suddenly uncomfortable, pulls at the collar of his shirt. When he rips open the top button of his shirt, he sees the name Theresa tattooed on his chest. Monique continues the spell as many more names appear on his body, including the familiar name Sabine. "To find what you're looking for, follow the path she left behind."

Sofia and Sasha are walking through the cemetery. "So, this is where Monique broke out?" Sasha asks.

"Yup. Seems like the harvest worked after all."

"Such a shame we couldn't get Davina back."

"We will. Soon enough." 

"Hey!" They hear a voice. "What the...?" Sofia grabs Sasha. "You two. Who is the youngest?"

"M-me." Sasha mutters. Suddenly, she feels something go inside her. "Are you okay?" Sofia asks.

"I feel...I feel... great."
