 Sophie chops up vegetables while she talks to Sabine, who is sitting on one of the tables. When Sophie sees her sitting on the kitchen prep table, she gestures toward her and makes a face. "I cook on that, you know!" Sabine doesn't take to Sophie's tone. "Don't get cranky with me! I'm the only witch who still likes you." Sophie stirs her gumbo before turning to Sabine "Yeah, it's not like I'm trying to save the witch heritage or anything." Sabine shrugs. "They'll come around. They're just old-school and scared."Sophie scoffs. "Scared of what? Your prophecy about the hybrid baby? Agnes and her freak-show minions had a real field day with that one." Sabine shakes her head. "I can't help what I see, Soph." Sophie smiles. "Well, if you're psychic, I'm Martha Stewart!"

She walks toward table to grab some celery. "Scootch!" Sophie returns to her table, and Sabine hops down to join her. She sees a shadow in her peripheral vision and gets suspicious. Suddenly, two people in black masks come out and lunge toward them. "What the...?" One of the masked people backhands Sabine across the face, and she as she falls, she hits her head on the table and falls unconscious. Sophie tries to fight the other two masked people off, but they blow some powder in her face that makes her pass out as well.

Rebekah scrubs at the bloodstains in the carpet while Klaus continues to read 'A Poison Tree'. "Poetry about poisoned apples from dead trees. Looks like someone's worried about impending daddy-hood to an infant." Klaus shakes his head. "Nonsense. Elijah's back. In his presence, all problems turn to pixie-dust and float away!" Rebekah side-eyes him and grins, and Klaus grins back. Elijah hears them talking about him and joins them in the living room. "Strange, I don't recall any pixie-dust from the darkness of the coffin I was recently forced to endure." 

Elijah opens Esther's grimoire and flips through it. Rebekah watches him. "What are you doing with Mother's spellbook?" Elijah studies each page with ambition. He's looking for something. "Well, in exchange for my freedom, I promised the witch Davina that I would share a few pages from Mother's grimoire to help her learn to control her magic. I thought we'd begin with a little un-linking spell." Rebekah and Klaus look at each other in confusion. Rebekah is stunned. "Wait, you want to use her to un-link Hayley from Sophie Deveraux?" Elijah nods. "Sophie brought us here under false pretenses! She doesn't just want us to take down Marcel and his minions, she wants to take Davina back. So, she yolked her own cause to ours with magic threats and half-truths! Well, no more. As of now, our deal with Sophie Deveraux is null and void." 

Klaus and Rebekah smile wryly at each other. "Niklaus, I need you to come with me. I need five minutes alone with Davina. You need to make certain that I am not interrupted by Marcel or Nicole." He points to Rebekah and thinks for a moment before giving his order. "You stay here and watch Hayley." He turns and leaves the house. Rebekah is annoyed. "How did I get elected super-nanny?" Klaus frowns. "More importantly, who put him in charge?" Klaus reluctantly follows Elijah out of the house.
