        Marcel walks along Dauphine Street as he gives instructions to a group of his vampires. "Big event tonight, a lot of people drinking, a lot of eyes watching. I don't want any trouble, which means no witches. Send word through the Cauldron-- any witches come here, we kill them. And, while you're at it, no Originals, I don't like how Rebekah's been snooping around. I got my girl Cami coming, her and a little friend of hers, I want eyes on them at all times-- eyes only. Alright? I don't want anyone getting anywhere near either of them. Everybody's got a post, everybody keeps an eye out. You cool?" The vampires look at Marcel in agreement for a moment before walking away.

It's night time now. Davina smiles broadly as she walks down Dauphine Street in a white sundress, looking at all the people and listening to the music. Marcel and Davina walk into Rousseau's, which is teeming with people drinking and listening to a brass band play up front. "So, is it everything you hoped for?" Davina shakes her head enthusiastically and giggles. "Yeah!" Davina spots a young boy yelling for a friend near the bar, whooping for the band members. "So, we should probably go over the rules." Davina sighs. "I won't talk to anyone about anything. I won't say anything about witches, or vampires, or Originals, or you." Marcel nods at Davina and smiles, and she smiles in embarrassment in return."You said you weren't going to hover!" Marcel looks at her incredulously, and Davina laughs.

THE BAYOU CLINIC

It's dark, and Agnes drives Hayley up to the obstetrician in the Bayou in her car. Owls hoot in the background. "This is the doctor's office?" Agnes smiles. "Dr. Paige is only this far out because Marcel's men kept terrorizing her patients. Go! She won't bite!" Hayley nervously exits the car and walks toward the clinic. Once she's out of earshot, Agnes calls someone on her cell phone. Agnes frowns. "Send them in now and tell them to do it quickly."

ROUSSEAU'S

The young boy Davina was watching earlier is on stage with another band, playing a fiddle. Davina continues to watch him intently. Over at the bar, Marcel keeps an eye on Davina as he chats with Cami. Nicole walks in waves to Cami and makes her way to Davina. Marcel and Cami are catching up. "It's good to see you. I was worried you thought I was some hothead after that display at the Masquerade." Cami smiles pleasantly. "We all have our hot-headed moments!" She shrugs. "Anyway, I'm almost done here until clean-up, so the two of us girls can hang out if you need to go schmooze, or whatever." Davina leans over to butt into their conversation "You know, he was supposed to stop hovering like, ten minutes ago." They exchanged glances and smiled to Cami, exasperatedly. "See what I mean? Authority issues! I'll go talk to the mayor-- he actually knows how to show some respect!"

Cami walks over to Nicole, gestures towards Davina and watches Davina stare at the boy, and smiles as she approaches them. "Soooo, what's his name? Hot guy with the fiddle?" Davina blushes. Nicole nudges her. "His name is Tim." Cami smiles encouragingly. "I knew he would be here, he always performs at these kinda things." Nicole was curious. "How long have you two known each other?" Davina smiles dwelling on memories. "Since we were ten." Cami looks at her expectantly, and she continues. "I had to leave school, and I didn't get to say goodbye. So, I was just hoping to talk to him tonight." The band finishes their song, and all the patrons of the bar whoop and applaud them. Davina continues to smile and watch Tim play. Nicole got a text from Rebekah; excused herself from the girls and left.
