Faith and Hope are in the cemetery vising the graves of Bill, and Tom the two people that Hope and Faith accidentally killed, Hope put a yellow rose into the vase for Bill. Faith puts another yellow rose into the case for Tom.

Klaus walks closer to them.

"You didn't have to come" Hope said.

"I wanted to make sure you guys are all right" Klaus said.

"I don't know why we leave flowers. Doesn't do them any good" Faith said. "It's not much of an apology for killing someone"

"Unintentionally. You two rid the city of those vermin. You've nothing to apologize for" Klaus said.

"Don't make it sound so noble" Hope said. They turn to look at Klaus. "We killed a few bad guys. But it was as much to get ride of the magic out of us as anything else"

"Besides, it's not like it lasted more than a few hours" Faith said.

Klaus looked at Hope and Faith's arms, seeing the lines had returned.

"Well, as least they get their revenge next week when the full moon comes" Hope said, looking at Bill's photo.

"However much you dread your first transformation, once you go through it, you're gonna feel better" Klaus said.

"We don't know if we dread it. Or if we could just turn and never turn back" Faith said.

"Mom said that after the pain, it's one of the best feelings in the world, I just can't believe we have to do his without her" Hope said.

Klaus looked away for a moment, holding back his emotions. "I know no one can replace your mom, but I do want to help" Klaus said.

"We know. We need to be alone" Hope said.

"Dad, can you please not tell mom. I just don't think I can handle another disappointed parent." Faith said.

"Faith, I'm not disappointed in you. This is on me so please just don't think so low of yourself." Klaus explained to his eldest daughter.

Faith just stayed quiet and Klaus shook his head yes acknowledging the question Faith had asked before.

Hope turned to Bill's grave and Faith to Tom's that happened to be next to each other since they were brothers.

Klaus saw the veins on the back of Faith and Hope's neck, growing concerned.



Hope and Faith are still standing in front of Bill and  Tom's memorial.

Davina walks closer, seeing the veins on the back of Hope and Faith's neck.

"Hey" Davina said.  

Faith and Hope turned around.

"Auntie Davina" Faith said, running hugging her aunt. They pull apart and Davina wipes some tears from Faith's eyes.  

"You guys okay" Davina asked.

"No" Hope said. "I'm pretty sure we just drowned the memorial"

"We're sorry about Josh" Faith said.

"Thank you. How's your heads?" Davina said.

"Buzzing" Hope said.

"I can make you guys a tea that should help, and never underestimate the power of wedding champagne" Davina said. 

"Do you think they'd let us skip the wedding?" Faith asked. "It's just with the way that we feel, we don't wanna ruin the day" Faith said.  

"You two missing it would ruin the day. Look, I know that you guys have a lot going on right now, but you know, one thing I learned as a girl with the world on her shoulders at 15 is that you need to live in the moment. Josh taught me that. Go on. I'll catch up with you two" Davina said.
