"I want to talk to my daughter" Liz said once Finn opens the door. It's been a few days since Elena's died and Liz wants answers, answers she knows Claire has.
"Now's not a good time" Finn warns her.
"It's urgent" Liz insists before squeezing her way into the room. Finn went to say something but Caroline comes into view.
"Mom, hi" Caroline smiles at her. "I'll talk to her" Finn nods before walking back up the steps towards Claire. "What can I do for you?"
"I need to talk to Claire" Liz said. Caroline's smile disappears.
"Now's really not a good time" Caroline told her. Liz frowns her eyebrows and tilts her head.
"What happened to Elena Gilbert?" Liz questions crossing her arms. Caroline sighs running a hand through her hair.
"Elijah, can we use your study?" Caroline questions. Liz looks around but doesn't see Elijah. The noble Mikaelson responds from inside Claire's room. "Come on" Caroline leads her mother into the study so they can speak privately. Caroline closes the door behind them.
"What's going on here?" Liz questions sternly. "I know you and Claire are in all of this trouble somehow and I need you to talk to me. Tell me what is happening." Caroline sighs. "I have been out of the loop for long enough and now two people are dead. Start talking"
"Where would you like me to begin?" Caroline asks sitting down on the couch. Liz continues to stand.
"How about you start with Carol Lockwood's death" Liz snipped crossing her arms.
"Tyler was planning on killing Klaus. His plan failed and Klaus killed Carol in retaliation." Caroline told her bluntly. Liz's eyes widened and she sat down not expecting this.
Liz knew the Mikaelson's were behind Carol's death but she thought she would have to try harder for this kind of information. She knew Klaus is dangerous but the way he acts around Claire, she honestly didn't want to believe her suspicions.
"And you didn't think to tell me this?" Liz asked raising her eyebrows. Liz felt slightly betrayed. Her two daughters, her twins, knew information on the mayor's death and they kept it to themselves. They harbored a murderer, they withheld information. That wasn't how Liz raised them.
"What would you have done? Arrest Klaus?" Caroline asked raising her eyebrows. "Klaus would have tried to kill you before you had the chance." Liz presses her lips together and shifts in her seat. "I'm sorry Carol died" Caroline told her truthfully. "We couldn't stop Klaus, it won't happen again." Caroline reassures her. Though Caroline didn't know if that would happen. Everything's changing and Caroline didn't think the deaths were going to stop with Elena.
"But it did"Liz said. Caroline frowns her eyebrows. To her knowledge, Klaus hasn't killed anybody else. "Elena Gilbert is dead but you already knew that" Caroline tenses. She realizes that she thinks Klaus killed Elena. "What happened?" Caroline hesitates but then explains.
