Rebekah:(voiceover) For centuries, people have come to New Orleans looking for a fresh start. Looking to find adventure, fortune, and even love. Young society women imported from France with the promise of marrying a proper New Orleans gentleman like the legendary Casket Girls.

*Flashback, New Orleans, 19th century, Three French women are traveling by horse and carriage, accompanied by a driver and a male chaperon*
French woman: Excuse me, sir, how long before we arrive at the Governor's house?
Rebekah:(continues in voiceover)Little did they know that the men who awaited them were far from proper, and not at all gentle.(The carriage carrying the three women stops as they approach a group of men with torches and alcohol in the middle of the road who are blocking their path. The men are shouting as they swarm around them and shake the carriage. The women scream until the shaking stops, when the sound is suddenly replaced by the shouts of the men outside. They look around, frightened and confused. The man inside the carriage slowly opens the door and looks around at the devastated of deceased and bloody men scattered on the ground. Afraid, he tries to retreat back into the carriage, but is quickly pulled back out by an invisible force. After a moment, the carriage door opens, and Rebekah appears, dabbing a dribble of blood from her lips)
Rebekah: There, there little lambs, all the bad men have gone away. (She begins speaking French)You're safe here, please forgive the disorder.(She returns to speaking English)Us girls have got to stick together. Now, is there anything you want to take with you?(Rebekah helps the women out of the carriage and retrieve their trunks from the back. Afterward, they all abandon the carriage and the carnage and flee the scene with their belongings)

*Present day, French Quarter,New Orleans is abuzz with mills of people in town for the annual Casket Girls Festival. A horse and carriage is seen driving down the street while people dressed up in old fashioned costumes and wedding dresses drink on the sidewalks. Rebekah walks down the street with a smile on her face as she takes in the party atmosphere*
Rebekah:(voiceover)The Casket Girls legend lives on, now celebrated in typical New Orleans fashion with stylish costumes and supernatural flair. It's a yearly reminder of how woman can be oppressed by selfish men and how they can triumph when brave enough to fight for themselves.

*Cami's Apartment,Cami is screaming in agony on the floor while Davina magically strips the compulsion from her mind. While she works, Josh stands in the background and examines the notes Cami has left around her room*
Camii:(cries)Oh god, it hurts!(Davina knees down in front of her)
Davina:(sympathetic)I'm sorry, Cami. It's the only way to break Klaus' compulsion.
Josh: Believe me, I know what it's like. You're okay. And hey-- all these notes that you made? It's very Momento of you. Nice work.
Cami: We've been at this all night. I don't understand what's happening to me, I don't understand any of this--
Davina: But you will. I will unlock every stolen memory, undo every piece of mind control that any vampire has ever done to you. When I'm done, you will understand all of it, and you'll be free. (beat) I can stop, if you want me to.
Cami:(determined)No, don't stop. I want to remember everything.(Suddenly a transparent Aria appears beside them. Only Davina can see her)
Davina: Aria?
Cami:(she looks around but doesn't see her)where?
Aria: Davina, what are you doing here? Why did you run away?
Davina: I can't trust anyone over there anymore, everyone lies.
Aria:I haven't.
Davina: I know but still...
Aria: well am not going to make you come back but I would like for you to.
Davina: I...I just need some time.(Aria nods)
Aria: I understand
Davina:(she thinks for a minute before looking back at her) can you help me with Cami? I am trying to undo her compulsion with a spell but it's a bit painful for her.
Cami: a bit!?(Aria chuckles)
Aria:I do know a spell but a little warning she will get knocked unconscious.
Davina: I am sure she will be fine.
Cami: What are you planning?
Davina: Don't worry about it.
Aria:alright then.(she whispers a spell and a little ball of light appears in her hand, she then throws it towards Cami who gasps as her head is thrown back and her eyes go completely white as she starts to have flashback of everything that Klaus compelled her to forget, she screams and then passes out; she looks at Davina) when she wakes up, she will remember everything.
Davina: Thank you.
Aria:Of course.(she then disappears and Davina then looks at Cami)
