MIKAELSON COMPOUND

When Klaus returns home, he finds Marcel in the courtyard, angrily throwing furniture into the walls. Klaus approaches Marcel to try to calm him down. "That won't bring her back, you know." Klaus says walking closer to Marcel. Marcel is furious. "This is YOUR fault! I should have never let you anywhere near her!" Klaus is hurt. "Marcel." Marcel ignores him. "This city was fine before you came. We were fine! Davina was safe, she was in control! If you hadn't gotten her worked up, if you hadn't killed that boy!" Klaus tries to reason with him. "My condolences the girl is gone. But don't lose perspective. We still have our community. The vampires of this town..." Marcel was blind with hatred for Klaus. "I don't CARE about the vampires! She is dead! Do you hear me?!" Klaus becomes overwhelmed and hugs Marcel tightly as he begins to sob. "I'm sorry. You may think I know nothing of your grief, but you are wrong. In the days after I fled this city, I thought you were dead. It was years before I could speak your name, so keenly did I feel that loss. I'm sorry." He lowers his voice to a whisper. "I'm sorry." He says and Marcel begins to calm down.

FRENCH QUARTER

Elijah and Hayley are walking down the streets of the Quarter on their way back from the cemetery. Both are quiet until Hayley finally breaks the silence. "Are you ready to forgive me yet?" She asks. Elijah sighs. "It's not that easy, Hayley." Hayley stops and stands in front of him. "Elijah, I was wrong to go through your journals, I was wrong to tell Sophie about Celeste, but after everything that happened today, I don't know why we can't see past this." Hayley says trying to understand him. "And you of all people should know why. During my fever in the Bayou, you were inside my mind. You know what Celeste means to me." He says. "Don't you mean meant to you?" Hayley asks confused. "No. Do you have any idea how rare love is? In a thousand years, I have found it but twice, and when I have, I have honored it." Elijah becomes stern. "I know what a promise means to you, Elijah, but you made it two hundred years ago. I live in the now. If I feel something, I act. If I want something, I take it. I won't choose the dead over the living, so why are you?" The two stand so close to each other it appears they're about to kiss, but at the last moment, Elijah pulls away. Hayley looks disappointed. "I'm sorry, Elijah." Hayley says and walks away, leaving Elijah confused and standing in the street.

MIKAELSON COMPOUND

Klaus, Nicole and Rebekah are having a drink in the study and recapping the day's events. "This whole thing was doomed from the start, you know? Yes, we saved the city, and I'm not complaining about the witches losing their power, but this did not go down the way I thought it would." Nicole glared at him. "Yeah well I'm complaining." Nicole said downing her drink and getting up to pour herself another. Klaus turned to Rebekah. "You surprised me, though. You were quite resourceful today. How did you find them down at the docks?" Klaus asked Rebekah. Rebekah smiles impishly. "You're not the only one with clever little spies in the quarter, Nik. Your daughter was a big help as well considering she was halfway there." Klaus smiled at her. "Sometimes I think I don't give you your due, little sister." Rebekah sighs sadly. "I knew Elijah's plan was mad, but I really thought it would work." Klaus' smile dropped into a straight line. "So did I. I was sure Davina would survive. There was so much life in her." Nicole slammed her glass down disrupting them. "I wanna know what the happened to all the power? Four were supposed to rise, and none did. We just lost four innocent girls! Where the hell did all that power go?!" She was yelling. Rebekah and Klaus exchanged worried glances.

LAFAYETTE CEMETERY

Sabine is still in the tomb, where she is completing the spell she started earlier in the day. She takes a small poppet and slices the throat open, and pours the blood within the poppet into a small goblet holding the potion from earlier. She drinks it and is imbued with power. Suddenly, three people in various locations in the cemetery rise from their graves-- the witch Bastianna, who did the first attempt at the Harvest, a red-haired female dressed in a flapper dress, and a young African American man in a suit. They all three meet at the front gates of the cemetery. "Why are we here?" The red head asks. "Someone brought us forth. Who?" The gentleman asks. Sabine appears before them and smiles. "I did." Bastianna is in shock. "Sabine! What's the meaning of this?" Sabine chuckles. "Bastianna, I've had to endure people calling me 'Sabine' for almost a year now. I'd appreciate it if you'd call me by my real name... Celeste." She said with an evil smirk creeping onto her face. Trouble was just beginning.
