22/23 - Night Of A Thousand Years/ When the Leveee Breaks Through.

MIKAELSON COMPOUND

[Hayley, Rebekah, Klaus, Freya, and Elijah are convening in the dining room to discuss what has just occurred]

KLAUS: [displeased] Isn't that the point of a fortress? It does a better job of protecting you when you stay within its walls?
HAYLEY: [annoyed and embarrassed] Okay! We get it. Now, let's just figure out what the hell we're gonna do.
KLAUS: [shouts] What I would like to do is take a strong leash--
ELIJAH: [politely cuts him off] --Children, please. Niklaus, your ire is justified. However, Hayley is quite right.
[Hayley shrugs and gives Klaus a smug look]

ELIJAH: We need to find a new strategy. Freya, if you please?
FREYA: [sighs defeatedly] The spell you described... Dahlia calls it "kenning"-- using proxies to watch her enemies from afar.
[Klaus looks at her, half-suspicious, half-curious, and Freya pauses, looking overwhelmed]

FREYA: But, I've never seen it done on quite this scale.
[Hayley sighs in frustration, looking overwhelmed]

HAYLEY: Awesome. So, basically every Hurricane-chugging, boob-flashing tourist on Bourbon Street is a potential spy.
FREYA: The good news is, I know a little about how her magic works.
[She gestures at a tray she has set up that has a silver tea kettle and five tea cups full of brown liquid on saucers]

FREYA: This tonic will at least prevent her from using any of us.
[Rebekah and Freya each reach for a cup. When the others don't move, Rebekah looks around at them]

REBEKAH: Well, come on! This should work like a charm!
[Elijah sits down at the table, and he and Hayley each grab a cup as well. However, Klaus remains standing where he is and doesn't move to join them, and Rebekah raises her glass]

REBEKAH: Bottoms up!
[The four of them drink their tonics, and Elijah holds out the fifth cup for Klaus, who simply stares at it]

ELIJAH: [sighs in annoyance] Niklaus, is there something you wish to contribute?
KLAUS: [shrugs] I prefer biscuits with my tea.
[Elijah rolls his eyes as he sets down Klaus' cup and mutters under his breath]

ELIJAH: Of course.
KLAUS: [ignores him] Besides, our minds are far too strong to be invaded by kenning spells.
[Elijah rolls his eyes again and sips his tonic]

KLAUS: No, what we experienced was a test-- Dahlia's watching to see how we respond to aggression. She's preparing for battle. My guess is sooner, rather than later.
HAYLEY: Well, if she was watching us, she would know that we have our own army.
ELIJAH: She also knows where we are. And, given the immense nature of her power, we simply do not know what to expect from her. What we need is to create a new stronghold. Something that Dahlia knows nothing about. A sanctuary from any witchcraft.
FREYA: That's a fine strategy. I offer another-- we can use Jackson to trace her magic back to its source. Find out exactly where she is.
[Everyone looks to Hayley, who considers this for a moment. She looks over at Klaus, who merely smiles and raises his eyebrows at her, before she sighs reluctantly]

HAYLEY: Fine. Do it.
KLAUS: [pleased] Good! Then it's settled. Off you pop to your respective tasks! Me? I've always been of the opinion that the best defense is a good offense. So, I'm going to find a way to murder that godforsaken witch.
[He smiles evilly]
Klaus? A voice calls. Hayley frowns. Get the twins Out of the woods Dahlia killed the witch who's been watching she's almost there if she's sensed you've been there she's that much closer to finding you and ending you guys sincerely Avaz.

Klaus looks at Hayley. Get all of the wolves and send them to the Sachet Place ancestors made it to even people like dahlia couldn't get through it. Hayley nods as her and Jackson flee.

LAFAYETTE CEMETERY

[A saddened Davina has arrived to where Kol/Kaleb Westphall has been buried in the cemetery, and she leaves a bouquet of flowers at his tombstone before brushing the stone with her fingertips. Judging by the number of identical bouquets surrounding the tomb, Davina has been here often since his death. After a moment, Klaus appears behind her, and when she senses his presence, she sighs in annoyance]
