Rebekah and Elijah were talking in the study. Rebekah went to the bar and poured herself a drink.
"It's not too early for scotch, is it, with all the witchy shenanigans and subterfuge afoot?" she asked him.
"It is entirely too early if one intends to drive, yes," Elijah told her.
"Funny, I don't have any plans to go anywhere," Rebekah replied.
"She's not safe here. You have to take Katerina to the plantation house until this is over," Elijah decided.
"Are you worried about Katherine, or whether or not you can trust me?" she inquired.
"It's precisely because I trust you that I'm asking you to do this," Elijah said, trusting the fact that Rebekah wouldn't kill Katerina as long as Katerina was only human. He knew that Katerina could take care of herself sure, but it was still not safe for her while all of this was happening.
"Here's a novel idea—why don't you let Katherine decide for herself? Why are you dictating her fate?" Rebekah replied. She knew what it was like for someone else to be in control of what you wanted, instead of doing things that you wanted.
"You know why," Elijah reminded her.
"Then perhaps you should take her yourself," she replied.
"I can't legislate my feelings or actions. So, would you kindly do this for me?"
"You know the doppelganger loves to be told what to do," she said sarcastically. "She's not gonna like it. But I will do it for you, if only to end this silly quarrel."
Rebekah and Katherine were at the plantation house and were walking toward the front porch.
"I thought I was gonna have to drag you to the plantation kicking and screaming," Rebekah admitted.
"Yeah, well, we all just wanna protect me, right?"
Rebekah raised her eyebrows in disbelief. "Hey, I'm on your side, remember?"
"I know. I'm sorry. It's just, I've never seen Elijah like this, hiding me away some place just to try to keep me safe from everyone. For all we know, our enemies could be not too far from here," Katherine replied, before entering the plantation house with Rebekah.
Celeste in Sabine's body was walking down a street in the French Quarter, when she realized that she was being followed by Elijah. She turned around to face him.
"Elijah. To what do I owe the pleasure?"
"My family needs an ally among the witches, and you've helped us in the past. Perhaps together we can avoid an unnecessary conflict," he suggested.
"They may be willing to make a deal, if it were with the noble Elijah. But there will never be any peace as long as it involves Klaus," she answered him.
"Is that what all this is about? You want my brother out of town?" he inquired.
"I'm just telling you how they feel. My people are scared, they're desperate, but they're not dumb."
"Let's walk together. You can take me on one of your famous tours," he suggested.
