The bells of St. Louis Cathedral started to ring in the same tune as Dahlia's song, the sound of which echoed through the Quarter and into the compound. In the compound's courtyard, Freya was staring at Hope's car seat, which has the golem inside it. Directly upstairs, Rebekah was lighting a white candle on a table, where Freya had written out the notes for the spell she will perform to create the illusion that Hope and her magic were located in the compound with them. Milana, Elijah and Marcel stood nearby, staring at the woman.
This plan had to work. They needed to draw Dahlia out and then kill her.
“Sinete exa vana vintante com. Sinete exa vana vintante com.”
Downstairs, Freya picked up the golem and stared at it. Suddenly, the spell kicked in, and the golem suddenly appeared to be Hope. Freya clutched the imitation of her niece in her arms and waited anxiously for the plan to begin. Rebekah continued chanting the spell. “Vana vintante com.”
Milana stepped towards the door when footsteps were heard approaching the compound. Milana couldn't see the woman, but she knew it was Dahlia.
She stepped out of the room and stood against the wall. Freya was purposely standing right in between all three of Klaus' paintings in an effort to lure Dahlia into the killing ground, but Dahlia stopped right in the doorway into the room.
“I come all this way to collect what is owed to me, and whom should I find?” Dahlia said, looking at the woman who had been at her side for decades.
“Auntie, please listen. I betrayed my siblings, so I could procure this child,” Freya told the woman.
Dahlia started to walk into the courtyard, but once again stopped just short of the killing ground. Milana let out a soft sigh, and she looked into the room to see Rebekah still continuing with the spell to maintain the illusion of Hope's presence. “Sineste exa vana vintante com. Sineste exa vana vintante com.”
“I offer her to you now, and in exchange, I only ask that you release me from my obligation to you.”
Dahlia tilted her head to the side and took notice of one of Klaus' paintings on the wall behind Freya while she considered this offer. After a moment, she started walking closer to Freya, but still didn't cross into the killing ground. Milana rolled her eyes, wondering when they'll finally be able to kill this woman.
