*At the Abbatoir/ Newly-returned Mikaelson Compound. Klaus has set up a dinner table in the courtyard to celebrate his return to leadership over New Orleans and his repossession of the Abbatoir compound from Marcel. The vampire army, including Marcel and his closest friends, are seated around the table, and Klaus and Hayley are seated at each end and Aria and Rebekah sits next to Hayley while Elijah and Katherine sit next to Klaus. Klaus then calls for everyone's attention to give a speech by tapping his glass with his fork*
Klaus: Let us begin with a toast to our shared gift: immortality. After a thousand years, one might expect life to be less keenly felt, for its beauties and its sorrows do diminish with time. But, as vampires, we feel more deeply than humans could possibly imagine.(Klaus gestures toward a group of waiters and waitresses to have them join them at the table, one for each guest)Insatiable need, exquisite pain...(The servants slit their wrists with knives, filling the cups with blood for the vampires)Our victories, and our defeats.(He looks at Marcel who looks away. Klaus then raises his glass in a toast to the others)...To my city, my home again. May the blood never cease to flow...
Marcel: (lifts his glass) ...and the party never end!(Marcel looks over at Diego, who has his own flashback)
*Flashback, to the pit,Diego and Marcel are discussing their new arrangement*
Diego: I just don't get it, man. We would've stayed with you to the end.
Marcel: Aria was right, we stand no chance with against her but you're still my people. Now, just follow my lead. Trust me, it ain't over yet.
*Present day,Mikaelson Compound*
Diego: (raises his glass) To New Orleans.
Klaus: (repeats)To New Orleans!
Everyone:New Orleans.(Everyone at the table drinks)
Klaus: I understand that some of you may have questions regarding the recent change in leadership, and I invited you here tonight to assure you that you are not defeated. No, my intentions moving forward are to celebrate what we have. What Marcel, in fact, took and built for this true community of vampires.
Diego: What about her? (He points to Hayley at the far end of the table)The wolf.
Elijah: What about her?(suddenly Aria rushes towards him and grabs him by neck)
Aria: No one is allowed to touch or even go near her,do you understand? (She tightens her grip on him and then looks at vampires around her)DO YOU ALL UNDERSTAND!!(they all quickly nod as Diego just continues choking) Do you understand Diego?
Diego:(while choking) yes...(Aria then lets him go and walks back to her sit while Hayley smiles)
Klaus: Had you'd let me finish, Diego, you would saved yourself from almost getting burn alive, of course, one further matter I would like to address.(He walks over to the other end of the table where Hayley sits)As many of you know, the girl is carrying mine and Aria's children. Consequently, I trust you will all pay her the appropriate respect. However, I understand that some of you are concerned by this vicious rumor that I intend to use the blood of our child to create hybrids. I assure you I do not.
Hayley: (smirks sarcastically)Father of the year.
Aria: Hayley.(she then looks at the other vampires) and I can assure you that even if he wanted, I would never let him use them like that.
Klaus: (mildly frustrated)It appears I will have to earn your trust. Very well. We'll eliminate the root of your anxiety. You see, how can I sire any hybrids if there are no more werewolves alive in the Bayou to turn?
Aria: Klaus!
Elijah: Niklaus, you must not!
Rebekah: leave it to Klaus to be the one to end the life of the werewolves of the bayou.
Katherine: there goes the Neighbourhood.
Hayley:(horrified) What? Klaus, no!
Klaus: (ignores all of them) So-- eat, drink, and be merry. And, tomorrow, I suggest you have yourselves a little wolf hunt. Go ahead, have fun. Kill them all!
*Mikaelson Mansion,A blue truck is parked outside the plantation house. Movers are packing up what appears to be a big painting into the truck as Kol and Jeremy watch*
Jeremy: you guys have a lot of junk inside.
Kol: and that's just Rebekah's things, but the good thing is that we aren't going to take all of the stuff that's inside, only the important stuff. The things we don't really use can stay inside since thanks to you, no random vampire can just sneak inside.
Jeremy: Well it's a good thing you hired these guys to do it because that's a lot of so-called "important"stuff.
Kol: Yes, I definitely hired them.
Jeremy: You compelled them, didn't you?
Kol: You gotta save money where you can.
Jeremy: But you're rich!
Kol: I'm saving up that money to show off to my future girlfriend.
Jeremy: Oh that's smart.(Kol nods)
