ST. ANN'S CATHOLIC CHURCH

Father Kieran has put up a "Substance Abuse Anonymous" sign in order to meet with some city officials. The mayor is pissed. "So, a few tourists go missing. Okay. We can spin it, no problem. But do you know how hard it is to sell a gas leak story to the city council when a bunch of church windows magically explode?" Father Kieran tries to remain calm. "Mr. Mayor, what is this, an electoral debate? Marcel overstepped. I will handle it." Klaus enters through front doors. "Easier said than done. Marcel is quite the little warrior." The sheriff tries to stop him from entering, but Klaus breaks his fingers.

The mayor is scared but stands his ground. "Who the hell are you?" Klaus keeps walking. "My name is Klaus. And you lot are the Faction. Pillars of the community who maintain the city's supernatural balance. Well, I should know. I created this group. Only, in my day, it was a bunch of pirates and corrupt politicians." He looks around at all the men and smirks. "Looks like nothing's changed." 

Kieran is unimpressed. "One thing has: it's exclusively human now. No vampires allowed, especially no Originals." Klaus laughs. "I haven't come to join! I've come to ask this group to utilize it's considerable resources to find a witch Elder called Agnes. All I need is an address." Kieran approaches Klaus. "And, uh, why would we want to help you?" Klaus smirks. "What if I told you that Agnes was the answer to a question you've been asking since you ran screaming from this town? That she is the witch who hexed your nephew, Sean?" Kieran is in shock. "We'd need some time to discuss..."

Klaus grows impatient. "I DON'T. HAVE. TIME." Kieran chuckles loudly. "Nor do I like being asked to wait." Kieran isn't liking Klaus' tone. "You may have all the vampires in this town cowering in fear, but right now, you are dealing with the humans. And unless you plan on killing all of us, I politely suggest you do as I say, and give us time to discuss it." Kieran gestures widely to the other men in the room. Klaus leans toward Kieran and lowers his voice. Klaus smirks. "You know what I like about you, Father? Is you're aware of our reputation, and yet still, you stand tall against me." He pauses. "Admirable! You have one hour." He turns and leaves the church. Once he's gone, Kieran turns and addresses the Faction. "I want that witch. Cell phone records, our guys in the 9th..." The mayor looks around confused. "For the vampire?" Kieran sighs. "No. For me."

Upstairs in the attic, Davina continues to work on the unlinking spell Elijah gave her. She holds her hands over the knot and reads the incantation from the page. She's clearly unfamiliar with Latin and mispronounces the words. "Phesmatos omnio legares coldate sangorium." Davina stares at the knot, which doesn't move or change. She exhales in frustration and runs her hand through her hair before angrily hitting her easel.

MIKAELSON MANSION

Hayley lays in bed with Nicole next to her; fanning her as Rebekah blots sweat from her forehead and chest with a washcloth. Rebekah is growing impatient. "Stop fussing, will you?" Nicole glares at Rebekah. "Elijah will be here any minute Hayley. Just stay calm." Hayley groans. "I feel like I've been microwaved."

Rebekah tries to make Hayley feel better. "Hey! Just because you're carrying a baby doesn't mean you get to act like one! I'm sure my little niece is healing you up as we speak." Nicole nods in approval of Rebekah's words. Elijah runs in with Sophie. Rebekah stands to greet them. Nicole is appalled when she sees who Elijah has brought with him. "What the hell is she doing here Elijah?" Sophie sighs. "I'm trying to help." Rebekah scoffs. Nicole is fuming now. "Help?! You're the reason we're in this bloody mess!" Rebekah pulls Nicole back from killing Sophie. "Why aren't we unlinked with this witch already, Elijah?" Rebekah asks. Elijah puts a hand up. "Nicole; Rebekah, let her do what she can."

Sophie sighs. "I may know a way to slow the fever down. But, I'm gonna need some special herbs." She turns and looks at Rebekah. "I'll text you a list." Elijah nods at her in encouragement, and though Rebekah does not look pleased to be being ordered around again, she eventually relents and smiles at them patronizingly. "Fine. Happy to play the fetch girl." Rebekah stomps out of the room, and shoves the washcloth she was using into Elijah's chest as she leaves. "I'm coming with you! I don't wanna watch Hayley and her baby die because of this selfish bitch." Nicole spat as she pushed past Sophie. She paused and walked backwards next to her. "If anything happens to that baby or Hayley; it won't be Klaus you should hide from because it'll be me who finds you; And I'll torture you till you beg for death." With that she left the room. Elijah and Hayley couldn't help but smirk at Nicole's threat.
