PLANTATION HOUSE

Klaus, Elijah, Hayley, Rebekah, Jeremy, Sophie, and Father Kieran are waiting in the backyard of the plantation house, where they've dug a grave for Esther, when Nicole arrives to join them. It's still pouring down rain, and they're all standing under umbrellas. Klaus puts Nicole between himself and Jeremy. "Did you find them?" Klaus asks. Nicole nodded with a solemn expression. "Will he bring her?" He persists. "Yes Dad. He'll bring her." Nicole said frustrated. Father Kieran looked at Klaus. "Are you ready to do this?" Klaus took a deep breath, looked at his siblings and nodded. "Always and forever." Klaus takes a dagger out and slices his palm open, dripping the blood over Esther's grave. He hands the blade to Rebekah, who does the same, along with Elijah, Nicole, Hayley, who is standing in for her and Klaus' baby and lastly Jeremy, who offered to help considering he is Nicole's other half. Once they've all dripped their blood into the grave, Father Kieran takes the knife and throws it into the grave as well. "It's done." Father Kieran says. "Now to the cemetery." Klaus says looking at the group.

LAFAYETTE CEMETERY

The Mikaelson's, Jeremy and Hayley have joined Sophie at the cemetery, where they're waiting for Marcel and Davina to arrive to complete the Harvest. Suddenly, flames start to erupt near the entrance, startling everyone. "Fire." Sophie states. After a moment, Marcel appears, carrying Davina in his arms. As he walks toward them, flames follow them in a trail that licks at Marcel's feet. Once they get to the altar, Marcel sets her down, and Sophie holds the ceremonial dagger over the flames before she heads toward Davina. "Do you believe in the harvest?" Sophie asks. Davina nods nervously. "I believe." Once she says the words, Sophie raises the blade and slits Davina's throat with it. Davina gasps in shock and grabs at her throat before she falls back. Marcel catches her and lays her down on the ground. Nicole hides her face in Jeremy's chest to hide her tears for Davina.

Just then, the rain stops, and Davina's skin glows gold as the magic leaves her body and flows into the earth. "After the Harvest comes the Reaping. Their sacrifices made and accepted. We call upon our Elders to resurrect the chosen ones." Sophie says completing the harvest. Nothing happens, and the rest of them look around at each other uneasily. Sophie begins again. "We call upon our Elders to resurrect the chosen ones..." Still, nothing happens. Sophie becomes flustered and is near tears. "Resurrect your chosen ones... Please? I beg..." When it becomes clear that something has gone wrong, Sophie falls to her knees and sobs. "No!" Sophie begins to sob even harder. Nicole, Hayley and Rebekah pull together and start to cry. Jeremy rubs Nicole's back trying to comfort her. Elijah and Klaus both look depressed, but not as much as Marcel, who shoots Klaus a look of hatred before vampire-speeding away.
