MARINETTE: What do you want from me?
JEK: Maybe a fairy tale will help.
MARINETTE: If you're going to tell me that my father is a vampire and that my mother is human, you might as well not. Alya told me everything, including the part about how your master killed my father when I was still a baby, and about the true roll I play in the vampire realm.
JEK: So, you know that your father is Lord Maksis? Am I right?
MARINETTE: Yes, I know.
SABINE: (wakes up) Marinette.
MARINETTE: (Runs up to her mom) Mom, I'm here!
SABINE: Marinette, I'm so sorry about all of this. A sweet, gentle, and innocent girl like you shouldn't have to carry such a burden like this.
MARINETTE: It's ok. It's not your fault, mom. You had feelings for dad. There's nothing to be mad about. I wish I wasn't given the grimoire. I just want everything to go back to the way it was before.
(Jek walks up to her)
JEK: If you trust me, I can make it all better.
MARINETTE: Really? And just how do you plan to do that?
JEK: It's a secret. One that I think the Devil King himself should tell you.
MARINETTE: Devil King? You mean Lord Nesta?
JEK: The one and only, my dear. He will release you from the burden of the grimoire, and use its power to punish those vampires for their long history of treachery and treason.
MARINETTE: Wait a minute. How would he exactly remove the grimoire?
JEK: Even I don't know. Our king would never default something so sacred to underlings. But you, my dear are running out of options and time. Like your friends told you, the grimoire and its extraordinary power will be unleashed on your 18th birthday. Either you choose to surrender the grimoire, or it's the end of the road, for you, your friends, and your mother.
MARINETTE: (Looks down for a minute to think) What about my mother?
JEK: She'll be fine. As I said before, we devils only lie when it's necessary.
MARINETTE: (Sighs) take me to Lord Nesta.
Jek takes Marinette into a portal that leads to an underground grotto. A boat waits for them, and takes them through the tunnel that leads to the other part of the devil realm.
MARINETTE: This'll all be over soon, mom. I promise.
At the school (in the hallways)
NATHANIEL: Marinette, where are you?
ALYA: Please be ok, girl.
On the top of another building
Adrien looks at the blood moon
ADRIEN: Oh, no. (looks at his king crown) Marinette
Outside the school (the fountain)
