New Orleans

Three days ago

Hayley sits in the nursery, writing a note to her daughter when Klaus comes in and teases her. Hayley looks up, "Do you want to touch her?"

Klaus bends down and puts his hand on Hayley's stomach and is surprised and happy to feel a kick.

Hayley looks down and smiles, "You did a nice job with the nursery I'm impressed."

"It was Caroline's design, I just bought the furniture."

Hayley narrows her eyes. "Then we need a new nursery. Just because you're dating the 'queen of everything' does not make it ok for her to have any contact with my daughter. Caroline is not allowed to come anywhere near my child."

Klaus glares at the pregnant werewolf, "As the father of said daughter and boyfriend of Caroline I also get a say in what happens in my daughter's life, and I want her to meet her step-mother. Caroline is going to make a wonderful step-mother and if you say she can't come anywhere near the baby then I must say that neither can anyone from the bayou."

Hayley bolts to her feet, infuriated, "I'm a nine-month pregnant werewolf, do not mess with me!"

Klaus looks Hayley right in the eye. "And I'm the Original Hybrid. Do not mess with me."

Outside Mystic Falls

Present Day

"I'm going to kill Tyler."

Caroline cries in Enzo's arms, Rebekah sobs with Stefan's still grey body in her lap. Katherine mourns quietly beside Nadia, who also regrets the loss of a friend. After a few moments, Caroline looks around at her friends. "What do we do?"

"We need to tell Damon his brother is dead."

Rebekah wipes away some of her tears and looks up at them. "Davina…"

Caroline, Katherine. and Nadia look at her with confusion. "Davina?"

"Davina is bringing back Kol…can't she just bring Stefan back too?"

"Sounds like a good idea! Enzo and I will take Stefan to Whitmore and call Damon, you three call Davina."

Rebekah runs a hand through Stefan's hair. "I don't want to leave him."

Caroline bends down to the blonde, broken Original. "You love him."

Rebekah considers Caroline a friend – she considers all of them friends, she's even warming up to Katherine. She was a lot more likable after her turn as a human, and if she could accept Caroline and Klaus, then she could accept Katherine loving Elijah. It helps knowing the doppelganger would do anything for her eldest brother.

"I do love him, I never stopped. And I never got the chance to tell him."

"Stefan loved you too, and we will get him back. He's my best friend and I know he'd do the same for me. We'll meet back at home."

Klaus bursts into the church and sees Hayley on the altar ready to give birth, witches standing around her. He runs over to them, easily beheading one witch, another flinging him to the wall and immobilizing him, leaving him only able to watch and threaten.

Monique delivers the baby while Hayley cries and begs to hold her. The witch indulges her request, placing the baby in her arms. For a moment, Hayley looks up at Klaus, but he just stares at the bundle in Hayley's arms and smiles

And then in a blink of an eye, Monique slits Hayley's throat, stealing the baby from her.

Klaus roars threats, but Monique simply snaps her fingers, and with a crack, Klaus's necks snaps and he falls to the ground.

Davina goes to the compound to tell Klaus she will do the other spell for him when she sees all of Marcel's men laying on the ground bleeding. She also sees Cami helping Marcel who has a bite mark. Vaguely, she remembers Klaus saying his blood is the cure for a werewolf bites. Marcel tells her where they fought and Davina goes to the road and puts her hand over the blood and it lifts off the pavement and the car and into a cup. Kol is next to her.

"You need a couple more supplies for the spell, we need to hurry. This place only has a few more hours."

Davina looks over at her ghost almost-boyfriend. "Let me handle this first then we'll get the supplies and bring you back."

"I'm hallucinating because you're talking to yourself and I saw blood float."

Davina looks over at her dying friend. "You shouldn't be walking and I wasn't talking… it's complicated. This is Klaus's blood, it'll heal you."

Caroline and Enzo lay Stefan on the couch in the lounge area at Whitmore, Caroline crying again when Damon and Elena come in.

Elena looks up and expected to see Caroline but didn't expect to see her being comforted by Enzo. Damon is devastated that his little brother is dead. "Caroline, Enzo. how did this happen?!"

"After I woke up, Stefan and Enzo were making sure I was ok when Tyler came up to us and asked where his wife was. Stefan told him his wife died and Tyler attacked him…he ripped out his heart."

While Elena cries next to Stefan, Caroline needs to tell Damon something without being overheard. She hugs Damon and lowly whispers in his ear, "We're going to get Stefan back. I know a witch in New Orleans who is bringing someone else back and she can bring Stefan too. We still have Bonnie too."

"Thank you Caroline."

Caroline nods and goes back over to Enzo. Damon takes charge, "We need to get him away from prying eyes."

Klaus wakes up and only has one thing on his mind – find his daughter. He's leaving the church when Elijah runs in. "What happened?!"

"I was bettered. Hayley gave birth but the witches kidnapped the baby and snapped my neck. I'm going to kill every last one of them then raise my daughter with Caroline."

Elijah looks around and sees a dead Hayley on the altar. "What do we do about Hayley?"

"Leave her."

Klaus sees the bite marks on Elijah's neck and bites into his wrist. "Here, if we're going to save my daughter I need you by my side and at full strength." Elijah drinks Klaus's blood, the wounds knitting together instantly.

Meanwhile, Davina goes back to the compound with the blood. "There's only enough for one," Marcel tells her weakly.

She can't bear to choose between her father figure and her best friend.

Marcel tells her that he will be fine and Josh drinks the blood.

Rebekah, Katherine, and Nadia are in the kitchen calling Davina who is getting things she needs for the spell. "Hello."

Rebekah is trying not to cry, "Davina, we need your help!"

"What's wrong Rebekah? You sound like you've been crying."

That catches Kol's attention who is right next to Davina, pointing at things she will need. "I was – I still am. I need you to bring back Stefan Salvatore, he just died and I love him. Please tell me that when you bring Kol back, you can you bring Stefan back too!"

"Rebekah loves someone new every week."

Davina looks over at Kol and relays what he said. "I have loved Stefan for over ninety years," Rebekah sobbed. "Please Davina, he is my only chance at happiness, tell Kol to find Stefan."

Davina tells Kol what Rebekah said. "Fine, as her big brother I will do this, but just tell her she owes me."

Davina, now knowing she has to bring two people back, grabs more ingredients and tells Rebekah what Kol says. Rebekah feels hope for the first time in a long time. "Tell Kol I love him and thank you, and when he comes back give him a big hug for me."

Davina smiles to herself. This is why she helps the Mikaelsons – they fight like animals but at the end of the day, they love each other. "I will."

Stefan watched Damon put the blanket over his corpse. As he is watching over his friends, the wind begins to pick up until he's forced to hold onto the wall but the strength of it drags him backwards. Suddenly, a hand grabs him and holds him steady. The hand belongs to his oldest best friend, Lexie.

Everyone is ready to leave Caroline and Enzo have to go back to their house and Damon and Elena have to find Bonnie. Elena hesitates, she doesn't like Caroline with Enzo. "I'm not leaving Caroline with him."

"Him?! He has a name, it's Enzo and he's my friend."

Elena isn't used to Caroline standing up to her. "He's a killer Caroline! You've only known him for, what, two days?"

Caroline goes to say something but Enzo interrupts. "I got this, Gorgeous."

"Yes, I'm a killer, but from what I have been told so are you, so is Caroline. Damon has killed as many people as I have, if not more, and you love him. So am I really all that different?"

Caroline just lost her best friend and can't visit her mom anymore, this is more than she can take. "STOP! Yes, Enzo has killed people but so have we all and he's my friend. Stefan died right in front of me, now Enzo and I are going to find a witch while you and Damon find Bonnie."

Elena is speechless. Caroline never speaks to her like this.

"Tombs are empty, grounds are deserted, she's not here."

Klaus is scared for his daughter, she is only a couple minutes old and already people want to kill her. "She has to be, the harvest took place here, the reaping, they're getting more power from their ancestors in this spot."

"Niklaus, she is not here and we are wasting time."

Klaus sees the same statue they have seen three times, vamping to the top of the crypt and looks around. From this vantage point he can see the same area they're in duplicated thousands of times. "It's some sort of illusion."

They've been in the cemetery all night. Elijah is frustrated and worried about his niece, growing more frustrated by the second. "My only concern is that child, I couldn't save my Katerina but I will save this child. All of this is your doing. did you think with all your scheming and the enemies you've made every day of your life that you could bring a child into this world and she could have a happy life?! That we could live and thrive as a happy family?"

"That was your fantasy brother!"

"No brother, that was our hope, this was our family's hope. Before I came here I gave up what made me happy, my Katerina. Then I was told I was going to be an uncle so I put everything I had into protecting that child. Trying to take my mind off Katerina, thinking we would see each other years, maybe centuries later, but then I find out Elena shoved the cure down her throat and turned Katerina human. Then she dies months later and no one told me. I let her in! I don't let people in, and now Katerina is dead and my niece is about to be murdered by witches. You have broken me."

Elijah is on the verge of tears and sits down on one of the steps. Klaus sits next to him and puts his hand on his older brother's arm. "You can tell your niece about the great love of your life when we save her."

Elijah looks over at his younger brother with hope in his eyes and can see the determination in his eyes.

Caroline and Enzo arrive home, during the ride Caroline had to explain who Kol and Davina are to Enzo. They join the others around the island in the kitchen. "What did Davina say?"

"Kol is going to look for Stefan, and she will bring them both back."

"Now we just have to find the witches who didn't stop the spell – what are their names?"

Enzo is the only one has met them, "Liv and Luke."

Damon calls Caroline and tells her that they're killing all the Travelers and that Bonnie is going to do a spell.

Liv and Luke, Damon's other witches, are driving away from Mystic Falls and bickering with each other when they see Katherine and Nadia in the middle of the road. They stop the minivan and look behind them and see Caroline and Rebekah. Enzo vamps to both sides of the van and throws them out. Rebekah vamps to Liv and holds her in the air crushing her throat. "Rebekah, we need them!"

Rebekah drops her and Luke runs to his twin. Katherine looks over at the blonde twins with a sneer, "If you're going to escape the scene of the crime, take back roads and do a protection spell so people can't track you."

Liv has her breathing back to normal, "You want to do this again?"

Nadia stands next to her mom. "Stefan's dead."

Liv and Luke look over at the other two girls and see the sadness in their faces. "I'm sorry, but if both doppelgängers were alive Markos would've been able to finish his spell."

Rebekah is the oldest one here and she is taking control, "You're going to bring him back."

"If both doppelgängers are alive, witch magic goes bye-bye and all you vampires are goners."

"That's the thing about vampires – we always have a plan B. We're going to kill all the Travelers."

"Our coven would kill us."

"We can't risk it."

Rebekah snaps Luke's neck, "I don't care about your coven. Now, your brother's on the other side with Stefan, think you can risk it now?"

Liv bends down and holds her twin. Rebekah looks down at her, "You now want the same thing as we do. So do the spell and if you tell anyone that you saw me or Elena or the other brown haired vampire, you will be joining your brother. The only person you saw was Caroline. Are we clear? " Liv nods, scared of Rebekah.

The witches have the baby in a basket and are getting ready. Monique carries the basket to the altar in the middle of the cemetery with Abigail on her left, and another witch on her right. "It's time."

xxx

The Travelers are moving the 'Welcome to Mystic Falls' sign while Markos is explaining to an annoyed Sheriff Forbes that Mystic Falls is their's, and they moved the sign to where the spell started. Markos's guys drag Tyler out of a van and across the line and leave him in Mystic Falls. Liz watches as Tyler's eyes glow yellow then he yells when his werewolf fangs receded back into his gums, then the sun is burning him and finally, his neck snapped. "Oh my god."

Liz has to call Caroline to make sure she is alright. Bonnie is looking in grimoires when Tyler appears, "Bonnie what's going on?"

"Tyler, you died and I'm working on a way to bring all of us back."

"I died?! And what do you mean by all?"

Bonnie looks in her grimoire, "You, Stefan, Me, Alaric, and Grams. But first I need you to pass through and help Alaric, he's looking for the others and a witch that can teach me the spell." Tyler nods and Bonnie touches him.

xxx

Lexie and Stefan walk into the grill and are talking about Alaric when Kol walks in. "I thought I would find you here. You can always count on a Salvatore being at the grill."

"Kol…"

Lexie doesn't know who this is, "Who are you?"

"Kol Mikaelson. You really do have a thing for blondes, Stefan."

Lexie and Stefan share a look, Stefan looks annoyed and Lexie has actually never met any of the Originals though she has heard of them. "Mikaelson – as in Klaus Mikaelson?"

"You heard of my brother! Klaus Mikaelson is the Original Hybrid, I'm just an Original Vampire, but I have a message for you Stefan."

"A message from who?"

Kol pours himself a drink, "Rebekah, She and everyone are trying to bring you back but I have a very powerful, very hot little witch. They asked my little witch if she could bring you back too, so you have to come with me to New Orleans."

Stefan looks at Kol then looks at Lexie, " Bonnie's bringing me back, I don't know your witch."

"Suit yourself, but I'm going to give you some advice. Over the course of our long lives we have had to be tough and without weakness. Only a couple of people in our whole thousand years have been able to see past the monsters and see our human sides. Caroline, my little witch, Katerina, and you."

Stefan is shocked, he knows he has something with Rebekah but Kol is being nice. "Why are you being nice?"

Kol pours another glass. "You see over here; all I could do is watch my siblings and I saw how upset they were. So, when Bonnie dropped the veil and I saw Rebekah she was shocked to see me. I don't like when my siblings are upset unless I'm making them upset. You make Rebekah be the girl she was a thousand years ago. So are you coming?"

Stefan doesn't really know Kol, he never really interacted with him when they were both living. "I'm going to stick with Bonnie."

"Fine, I have to get ready for my own resurrection, then I have a date."

"Class is in session First assignment – anti-magic border, what do you have for us?"

Damon looks at the map and there's a big red circle around Mystic Falls. "The cemetery is not in the no-magic perimeter."

Caroline and her group are still with Liv. "Hey Professor Salvatore, not everyone can see the map."

"Donavon you had one job!"

Damon takes a picture and sends it to Caroline and Enzo. Caroline sends the picture to Rebekah, Katherine, and Nadia. "Next order of business – mass murder."

Matt puts a blueprint of the whole town on the table. "There is a gas line that runs under the town, a leak would cause a deadly mass explosion."

"We're not blowing up our town, and why is Caroline with Enzo?"

Damon is frustrated his younger brother is dead, they can't enter their town, and people are living in his house. "Says one of the only two people in this group who can currently live in the town, and Caroline and Enzo are friends."

Elena doesn't like this plan and doesn't like Caroline being friends with Enzo. "I agree with Matt, we can't blow up the town."

"Liz will convince the Travelers to gather somewhere inside, meanwhile at seven tonight Jeremy and Matt will turn on the gas, let it leak and have ten minutes before anyone can smell it. You clear out, big boom, travelers gone, resurrection spell starts, loved ones come back."

Caroline is worried about her mom "I don't want my mom to be killed."

"She will be fine Blondie, and if she happens to get hurt after we save everyone you can feed her some blood and heal her."

Matt looks around at everyone and his friends on the phone. "Just in case this plan doesn't work, do we have a plan B?"

Damon smirks, knowing this will get a reaction from everyone. "Yes, if we fail we all move to New Orleans."

Elena is having the worst couple of weeks, first she has blanks in her memory, then she was kidnapped, now Travelers are taking over their town and have kicked them out."No! The Originals live in New Orleans, I would rather walk into Mystic Falls than live in the same town as them again."

Caroline rolls her eyes and looks over at Rebekah who is quietly laughing. "They aren't that bad, but let's focus on plan A."

Damon inwardly laughs at what Caroline said, knowing why she said it. "I agree with Blondie."

"What is happening? Caroline would say that she was the only one in town Klaus liked, why are you agreeing with her?"

"Enough, let's just save our town. Can you promise me my mom won't get hurt?"

Damon knows how much Liz means to Caroline. "I promise, Caroline."

Rebekah gets a text from Klaus.

I need you to come to New Orleans, my daughter was born

Rebekah pulls Caroline aside. "I need to go, Klaus needs me. The baby has been born and is in danger."

Caroline is so happy for Klaus and worried for her new step-daughter. "Go, Klaus needs you more than us. I'll text you when Stefan comes back."

Rebekah never guessed when she met Caroline two years ago that she would become family and friends with her. "Thank you Caroline, for everything." Caroline and Rebekah hug and Rebekah leaves. Caroline goes over to Katherine and whispers in her ear, "The baby was born, you're an aunt!"

Davina's in the compound and is looking at the spell to bring Kol back. "What's a nexus vorti?"

Mikael is in the room still trying to convince her to bring him back while Davina's waiting for Kol to come back with Stefan. "I will tell you if you bring me back."

"Go away, I am only bringing Kol and your daughter's boyfriend back."

"Kol is an idiot and Rebekah is incapable of having love."

Davina glares at Mikael, "Go away, I am not bringing you back and Kol is not an idiot."

" Thank you darling, who are you defending me to?"

Davina looks over at her other ghost, (after this, if she sees another ghost it will be to soon), "Where's Stefan, he's supposed to be with you."

Kol leans against the desk. "He didn't want to come, said he had another witch bringing him back."

"Whatever, do you know what nexus vorti is?"

"It means a rare occurrence, something so infrequent it's almost a miracle, like an astrological event."

Miracle… like a miracle baby? I have to use Klaus and Hayley's baby to bring you back?"

Kol looks at his witch, "No, I think you just have to use the power."

Monique raises the baby in the air while Abigail and another witch chant.

Davina is putting all her ingredients on the floor in her salt circle there was a bracelet, a pocket watch, a key, and a compass. "Kol, it's time!"

Kol gets in the circle, Davina closes her eyes and starts chanting. Kol hunches over in pain, Mikael takes advantage of his weakness, and tries to snap his son's neck but Kol fights back. Davina has her eyes closed, still chanting, Mikael is still fighting when Kol yells out in pain.

The only witch Alaric could find on the other side was Silas. Silas is teaching Bonnie the Traveler spell in the crypt where she's going to bring everyone back. "Az vezat ezvet."

Bonnie is annoyed that Silas is teaching her she is pacing, "Az vezat ezvat."

" Ezvet, I feel like I'm teaching calculus to a baby."

"I'm sorry, I'm nervous about unleashing a plague and bringing everyone back."

Silas misses human contact, "Oh I have been upgraded to a plague? How biblical, considering I will kill a bunch of people in an epic all-exclusive way, but some people will be safe like you, Caroline, my shadow-self and some others."

"Why are we safe?"

"You're bringing me back; Caroline's love life is my favorite reality show and Stefan is my shadow self – is it a crime for him to be so moody all the time?"

Bonnie is annoyed, "Just teach me the spell."

Klaus and Elijah run into another crypt, "We've been in here twice already, we're running out of time"

"We have to move faster!"

"They're smarter."

Klaus and Elijah both turn around and see a dazed Hayley. "I woke up in the church and I felt this hunger. I can feel her."

Davina is chanting in Latin and Kol and Mikael can feel the life coming back into them. They're still fighting each other when Davina passes out.

Mikael stands up and takes a big breath –he is alive again. Kol rushes over to Davina to see if she's alright.

Hayley, Klaus and Elijah get to the center of the cemetery and see Monique with a knife above the baby. Elijah throws a vase and it hits Monique's arm and she falls backwards and drops the knife. Monique runs to grab the knife while the other two witches grab hands and bring forth the ancestors who throw Klaus, Elijah and Hayley backwards.

"You don't stand a chance to beat us here. We're at our strongest hour, you don't just go up against three of us, you go up against all of us."

Mikael is in the courtyard and finds Diego who is dying, he drains Diego and all the other vampires.

Davina wakes up on a couch and Kol is in front of her drinking some blood. "I did it, you're here!"

Davina hugs Kol happily." Yes, but we have an even bigger problem now."

"What is it?"

Kol holds Davina's hands in front of him. "Mikael is alive. He got in the circle and we fought while we were being brought back, but he's gone and I know my father. He's going to be going after Klaus."

"We have to do something."

Kol goes over to the circle, picking up the bracelet and putting it on Davina's wrist. "Remember what I told you, if anything went wrong with the spell whoever you brought back would be linked to this bracelet."

Davina looks down at the ordinary metal bracket on her wrist. "So I control you and Mikael with this bracelet?"

Kol remembers making the bracelet as he runs his thumb over it. "Exactly."

"I don't want to control you."

"Hey, if being controlled by a beautiful witch is the only side effect of being alive I will take it."

Davina smiles and looks up Kol. He leans in and kisses her. Davina smiles and puts her arms around his neck and kisses him again. Kol never thought he would find someone who made him as happy as Davina makes him. "So, what do we do about Mikael?"

Kol thinks, still holding on to Davina. "We could keep him in the attic of the church..."

Caroline comes in with Enzo carrying Liv, "Did you find a Traveler that's going to save Stefan?"

" Yes."

Caroline looks around the crypt, "Thank you, whoever you are."

Silas knows only Bonnie can hear him and Caroline is one of his favorite people in Mystic Falls. "Only the perfect specimen of a man, tell Caroline I said congratulations."

"It's a moody old lady, kind of senile. Who said congratulations?"

Enzo laughs a little, Caroline doesn't know any old women but she does know a really old vampire who likes messing in her love life when he was alive. "Silas is helping you."

"How did you know it was Silas, and why he is congratulating you?"

"I took a guess there would only be one person congratulating me from the other side. He was doing that because when he was looking for you, he appeared to me and told me I should break up with Tyler because I was never going to be happy. He was right, Tyler and I went our separate ways, and I'm much happier. Now we'll call Damon and tell him we're ready."

xxx

Klaus, Hayley and Elijah take off in different directions in the cemetery, Hayley goes right, Klaus goes left, Elijah goes right down the middle. Klaus finds Monique picking up the knife and he breaks it. "You threaten to kill my girlfriend and now you try to murder my daughter?!"

"Your girlfriend had it coming and your daughter will help us."

Klaus punches Monique in the face then bites her. He drops her and goes to get the baby. Hayley is fighting her way through the ancestors they throw her through a crypt. Monique gives Klaus an aneurysm and he falls to his knees.

Elijah is being thrown back again when he sees an iron rod, he grabs it and throws it. It goes past the ancestors and right into Abigail's stomach pinning her to the crypt they're outside of. The ancestors are only half in number now. The other witch goes and grabs what's left of the knife and holds it over the baby but when they try to move she puts up a fire wall. A flying star is thrown in her stomach, causing a thousand cuts across her body.

Marcel vamps over to the baby and picks her up and vamps away. Klaus kicks Monique who loses her balance and concentration and falls to the ground, defeated.

xxx

Liz knows about the plan, Caroline had filled her in and Damon had promised she wouldn't be hurt. Her watch read 6:42pm, so she heads for the exit when Markos stands in her way and won't let her leave. "Where do you think you're going?"

Liz just wants to leave and be reunited with Caroline and make sure she is ok. "I'm taking my own advice, I think it's time I evacuate."

"We could use someone like you, have a drink with me and allow me to convince you this can still be your home."

"My home is a place my daughter can visit."

Markos grabs Liz by the arm and drags her to sit down. "Right, your vampire daughter. That relationship was doomed from the beginning, she's a vampire not of this earth while you are a human who will grow and pass, like it's supposed to be."

Liz knows she shouldn't say this but he just insulted her and Caroline's relationship. "You were dead and now you're not, what's earth's rule about that?"

"My people needed me."

xxx

Klaus walks into the compound and sees Marcel holding his daughter off to the side. Marcel looks at all his dead friends. "I didn't make it back in time. They trusted me and I let them down."

"Looks like the wolves came back."

The baby in Marcel's arms stirs and both men looks down at her. "You took my daughter so I would heal you and your friends."

No matter how many times he and Marcel fight, he still thinks of him as his son. "Here."

"This bite… all these vampires are the last chapter to a story I started a century ago when I brought Mikael to town. I'm sorry."

Klaus bends down and puts a hand on Marcel's shoulder. "You saved my daughter's life, you deserve this."

Klaus holds out his wrist for Marcel to bite. The wounds heal, and the baby starts cooing. "May I? "

Marcel hands his adoptive sister to his father. The baby starts to cry "Shh, shh."

Klaus is speechless, he never thought in his thousand years he would have a daughter. She has light olive skin, plump little cheeks and arms, little flecks of blonde hair and dark blue eyes. "Hey there."

xxx

Bonnie comes out of the crypt, the spell finally learnt. The wind starts picking up, Silas holds onto a tree, so does Alaric. Bonnie grabs them both and then lets go of Silas and he flies right up in the wind and disappears.

Klaus puts his daughter in her crib and is watching over her while Mikael comes up the stairs. The baby wraps her tiny finger around Klaus's, and he is speechless. He has never felt this feeling of unconditional love before. He knows Caroline has feelings for him but this is something entirely different.

Mikael is coming down the hallway to the nursery and Klaus gets a weird feeling. Mikael gets ready to go past another door when he finds he can't move anymore, the Nursery a few feet away.

He turns around and Davina is standing there with Kol sneaking up behind him. His neck snaps and he crumples to the ground. Klaus goes down the stairs and there's nothing there. He goes back to the nursery and takes a picture of his daughter.

Mikael wakes up and feels like his insides are being pulled out. "Why is this happening?"

Davina is outside the attic door, she has already spelled the attic to not let Mikael out. "You intervened in my spell and you tried to kill one of your sons just so you could kill another son!"

Mikael is furious, he hates people referring to Klaus as his son. "That boy is no son of mine! I will kill him!"

"No, Klaus needs to be alive."

"Why do I feel like this?"

"I added something to the spell just in case you decided to intervene." Davina holds up the bracelet on her wrist. "You are controlled by me now"

Liv is in the crypt lighting candles. Her phone reads 6:59pm and she starts chanting. The clock in the town square chines seven. Matt breaks a pipe and Jeremy turns the gas on.

Liz is still in the grill while Markos is eating and asking questions. "Do you smell that?"

Markos follows Liz to the supply room and when Markos bends down Liz hits him and then texts Damon there here go now. Markos grabs Liz's leg.

Damon is getting ready for his part in the plan. When Elena appears, he tries to convince her to go away but Elena won't take no for an answer. Damon drives across the line and experiences getting shot again. Elena starts choking as he drives faster and right into the Grill. There's a big explosion, killing everyone inside.

Caroline and Enzo are with Liv, who is still chanting. Bonnie is outside when all the Travelers come up to her. Markos touches her and she yells, Elena and Damon come running up to her and pass through to the Other Side. Bonnie tells them that they need to come back here. Elena appears inside a destroyed grill next to Damon's car

Elijah and Hayley have chained Monique in a tomb. "Why were you going to sacrifice an innocent baby for more power? "

Monique knows there's no getting out of this one, she is going to die soon. "It was the ancestors that decreed it."

Elijah grabs her by the face and turns her head so she us facing him. "And who told them to do that?!."

Monique knows she failed the witches. "I'm surprised you have to ask, it was you who convinced your siblings to concentrate her on New Orleans soil."

"Esther. Not even death will stop my mother from seeking the annihilation of her own flesh and blood."

"It's not the end, as long as that child lives, the witches and Esther will never stop coming for it's been decreed she will not live."

Monique starts bleeding out of her eyes, "They're coming for me, I can feel it, I failed them!"

Hayley storms out of the tomb. Elijah snaps Monique's neck to put her out of her misery.

Damon wakes up and looks over and sees a burned Markos and Liz under a pillar. "I promised you and Caroline I would not let you die and I plan on keeping that promise."

Damon tries to lift the pillar and it's too heavy for him. Alaric finds him and helps, together they move the pillar and prop it up on a toolbox. Liz moans awake, thankfully she only has a couple cuts. Liv is still chanting, blood is running down her nose, Luke passes through Bonnie and goes in to tell Liv she has to stop or it will kill her.

Caroline and Enzo have been watching over Liv, "If she stops we don't get our friend back, if we don't get our friend back you will die, and in the next few hours there isn't going to be an Other Side."

"She's my sister, I will not let her die for a vampire."

"Stefan is like a brother to me. We wouldn't need your sister if you didn't kill Stefan. You choose the wrong doppelgänger to kill."

Enzo looks between the chanting witch and her now alive twin and Caroline. "Come on Gorgeous, let's go wait for Stefan outside."

Hayley is in the rocking chair with her daughter while Klaus and Elijah are in his room. "We should have known it was our mother."

Elijah looks through the open doors and can see his niece. "You said Alaric Saltzman killed our mother."

"He did, but you should know by now nobody really stays dead in this family."

"We will fight every enemy that comes for your daughter, we will build a fortress."

"I will not have her live like a prisoner."

Elijah comes up with an idea. "Then we leave here. All of us, including Caroline."

Klaus loves that Elijah is including Caroline into the family. " Wherever we go, people with power or revenge will find us and use my two weaknesses. She has gained all of our enemies and none of our defenses."

Elijah feels defeated that he can't save his family. "Stay or leave, we condemn her."

Hayley is in the doorway. "Caroline is not coming anywhere near my baby, but there is a third option."

"Why can't Caroline come near my niece? Caroline is family."

Hayley growls, "I want to be the only mom in my daughter's life, Caroline has everything! She had Tyler, she has Klaus, she does not get to have my daughter too."

Klaus quips, "My daughter can't have two moms, but if you ever marry a werewolf in the bayou she can have two dads?"

Elijah knows Klaus and Hayley do not get along, sometimes it amazes him that they even hooked up in the first place. "Hayley, what is your third option?"

Hayley is holding her daughter close to her, clearly reluctant. "I grew up in a war zone. My parents were slaughtered, and I was unloved. I made a promise to my baby and myself that I wouldn't do that to her and now on her first day on this earth she has a grandma hell bent on destroying her, and I have to drink her blood to transition into a stupid hybrid. We need to send her away while we clean up the mess we made."

"No, you heard Monique, as long as this baby will survive she is in danger."

Klaus gets up and goes over to his daughter. "Then we will be the only ones that know she is alive."

"What is it that you are suggesting brother?"

Enzo and Caroline get outside as soon as Tyler passes through Bonnie. Tyler runs over to Caroline and kisses her, "I love you."

Caroline pushes Tyler back and is about to snap his neck when Tyler notices something, "Wait!"

Caroline has a look of disgust on her face, "What?"

Tyler picks up a rock and cuts himself but it doesn't heal. "I'm not a vampire anymore."

Enzo wants to go home, it's been a long day and the only person he can stand is Caroline. "So when I kill you for assaulting my friend you will stay dead?"

"Who are you? And I would go through Bonnie again."

"I'm Lorenzo, but my friends call me Enzo."

"Wow Caroline, you really know how to pick them. First Klaus was all over you and now you have Enzo? You really do have a thing for accents, don't you?"

Caroline glares at Tyler, ready to kill him. "Leave before I start feeling snap happy and kill you. With the Other Side collapsing, you wouldn't be able to come back."

Tyler can't believe Caroline is talking this way to him. "You will come back to me."

Caroline and Enzo share a knowing look and laugh, "No I won't, trust me."

"I'm not leaving until you agree to be my girlfriend again!"

Caroline is sick of Tyler and can't see what she saw in him in the first place. "'Again' means I would have had to be your girlfriend in the first place, but we just slept together."

Tyler just wants everything to go back to the way they were before Caroline met Klaus and Enzo, where she just wanted to sleep with him and do anything for him. "Caroline, I love you and I want you back, I made a mistake."

"Tyler I will say this one more time, if I have to repeat myself I will kill you. I don't love you. I never did, you took me for granted, used me, sometimes even threatened me. And now you're going to stand here and tell me you want me back and you love me?! You more than one mistake. I want nothing to do with you, now leave me alone."

Cami is walking down the street when she sees Francesca Guerrera giving an interview on how they're going to rebuild their city after last night's horrible attack. Then she sees the memorial for everyone and sees a memorial for Baby Mikaelson. Cami runs into Klaus's bedroom, "I'm so sorry Klaus."

Klaus just wants Caroline and his daughter, "Go away."

Cami didn't leave, actually moving closer to him. "No, you need someone."

Klaus turns around, his eyes glowing yellow. "I do have someone, I also have my siblings, I don't need nor want you."

Cami still has feelings for Klaus. "I don't want to leave you."

Klaus compels her, "Leave now, go mourn my baby at home." Cami runs away crying.

Bonnie, Stefan and Lexie are on the Other Side, "It's time to pass through, this place is going down!."

"I can't find Damon!"

Stefan volunteers to stay behind and look, Bonnie grabs Elena passing through to the land of the living. Bonnie starts coughing up blood but Stefan catches her and is passed through to the land of the living. "Stefan!

Stefan looks around, realizing he's alive. "No, no, I was just catching her as she was falling, we haven't found Damon yet."

Bonnie walks away on a mission to find Damon while Caroline goes over to hug Stefan.

"Welcome back to the land of the living mate." Enzo pats him on the back. Elena is crying, she needs Damon to make it out alive.

Lexie comes up to Bonnie and notices that everyone who passes through her is killing her. Markos comes up to them, Lexie fights him. Markos gets sucked up into the wind and Lexie finds peace and disappears.

Damon and Alaric come up to Bonnie, she touches Alaric to bring him back. In the crypt, Liv is still chanting while Luke is watching her and determines that this is too much for his sister. He starts chanting another spell, stopping her and blowing out the candles. Bonnie touches Damon and nothing happens, she tries again and still nothing happens.

Elijah is on the balcony overlooking the courtyard when Klaus joins him. "Did Marcel play his part?"

"He found a stillborn baby in upstate Louisiana and let me compel him to forget what he knows of my daughter in exchange for vials of my blood."

"The witches will have to believe us; the fourth harvest girl will soon wake and the covens will rebuild if they sense your child lives. They will hunt her."

Klaus doesn't want his daughter to leave but knows it's best thing for her. "The witches will believe what we tell them, we just have to sell it convincingly."

"All that's left is goodbye."

Hayley is packing up some stuff for her daughter and puts the letter she wrote in the bag. Elijah picks the baby up and pricks her finger, and Hayley drinks her blood completing her transition.

Klaus takes the baby while Hayley and Elijah grieve in public.

Stefan Caroline are sitting on a bench, Enzo is leaning against a tree. "I lost both Lexie and Damon."

Caroline feels sad for Stefan but if she's being honest with herself she's going to miss Damon too. "Hey, I know this won't make up for losing your best friend and brother but you still have me, Enzo, Katherine and Nadia."

"Why didn't you include Rebekah – where is Rebekah?"

Caroline looks down, she hates to do this especially now. "Stefan, Rebekah's gone. Klaus called and needed her so she left, but I told her I would text her when you came back."

Stefan has tears in his eyes. "My best friend, my brother, and the girl I love all taken from me in one night."

Caroline pulls Stefan in for a hug and rubs his back. "I know, I know, why don't we go home and we can honor those we lost today."

Stefan nods and follows the other two to the car. Caroline texts Rebekah.

Stefan is alive. He asked for you. He loves you

Klaus is on a deserted back road in front of his car holding his daughter when another car pulls up in front of him and Rebekah gets out and wipes some tears off her face. Klaus sees his sister is crying. "Hello sister, what's wrong?"

Rebekah loves her brother and is excited to see her niece, but she misses Stefan. "Stefan died last night in my arms and I just got a text from Caroline saying that he's back and he's asking for me and that he loves me."

Klaus looks at his sister and can see that she loves Stefan too. He approves of Rebekah being with Stefan. "You will be reunited with Stefan, and thank you for doing this."

"Always and forever, Nik."

Rebekah looks down at her niece, she's so precious. "She looks like you."

Klaus smiles down at his daughter. "You need a witch you can trust to do cloaking spell."

"I will get one."

"No one can find her."

"I know what to do."

Klaus looks at his daughter for the last time. "This city would've seen you dead but I will make it your home and every soul that wishes you harm will be struck down. As sure as my blood runs through your veins, you will return to me."

Klaus kisses his daughter on the forehead, then on the cheek. Klaus hands her to Rebekah along with the wooden solider he gave Rebekah when they were kids. "In spite of our differences, there's no one I would trust more with my daughter's life."

Klaus hugs her and kisses her on the cheek. "Be happy sister."

"She will be happy, Nik, I promise. Does she have a name?"

"Hope. Her name is Hope Caroline Mikaelson."

Klaus starts to tear up. Rebekah smiles, "You and Caroline are so lucky to have found each other."

Klaus looks down at Hope one last time. "Thank you sister."

Enzo pulls in to the mansion's driveway when Katherine and Nadia come running out. "Is Stefan alive?"

Caroline gets Stefan out of the car, "A little help here?"

Enzo grabs Stefan's other side and they get him in the house and in the living room. Caroline turns to Katherine, "Damon didn't make it."

Katherine loved to play with the Salvatore's but she did care for them in her own way. They used the elevator to get an inconsolable Stefan to bed while everyone else went to their rooms. Caroline sits on her balcony in her pajamas crying when she calls Klaus.

Rebekah drives away and Klaus gets in his car when his phone rings. "Hello my love."

Caroline can tell he's trying not to cry. "What's wrong? Is it the baby? What's going on?"

Klaus tells her everything that happened that day from the birth, the witches trying to kill his daughter, the werewolves taking over the town, Hayley becoming a hybrid, Esther trying to kill Hope, and sending her away for her safety with Rebekah.

"What's her name?"

Klaus pulls into the compound. "Hope Caroline Mikaelson."

"My name is your daughter's middle name?"

"You and Hope are the two most important people in my life, I wanted you to be together forever."

From her balcony, Caroline is looking into the backyard. "Thank you."

Klaus sits on his bed. "Rebekah told me Stefan died and then came back, how are you?"

Caroline tells him everything from that day, knowing he would hate the part where Tyler kissed her.

"Tyler kissed you?! I'm going to kill him."

"No, you won't, if anyone is killing Tyler it will be me. How about we compromise and if we kill him we do it together? He has hurt both of us, he kissed me today and was terrible in bed and cheated on me, he unsired himself and all your hybrids and has tried to kill you several times."

Klaus smiles, he never thought he would be talking about murdering Tyler Lockwood with Caroline. "You really have changed. We have had quite a day."

Caroline snuggles into her blanket. "Yeah, a big day and big losses…looks like we both lost our wars."

"We lost our battles, the war is still going on."

"Can you explain that to me please, because from where I'm sitting it seems like we lost. I can't see my mom, you sent your daughter away, and Damon and Bonnie are dead. Yes, I haven't been friends with Bonnie in months but Damon and I have an understanding, he is also one of the few people who know we're together."

"We will fight whatever is in our way to reaching our goal. You will be reunited with your mom and I will be reunited with my daughter. When I am, you will be by my side and will meet her. The Caroline Forbes I know doesn't quit until she has what she wanted. Why did you tell Damon?"

"Thank you, and the Klaus Mikaelson I know won't quit either. I was thinking about spending the whole summer down in New Orleans. Damon asked me to name one time I was unpredictable and incredibly reckless and I told him I slept with you. He laughed at me so I slapped him, then he stabbed me with a pool cue. When I got back from New Orleans, Damon put the pieces together. "

"Be careful when you come here, werewolves have taken over the city and kicked all the vampires out. The only vampires left are me, Elijah and Hayley."

"I will leave tomorrow."

"See you tomorrow, my love. Goodnight."

Caroline gets in her own bed " Goodnight Nik."

Bonnie and Damon are holding hands as a big white light swallows them both.

At the cemetery, a gravestone that says Cassie is broken in two and a teenager with brown hair and a dirty white dress walks pass and looks both ways and goes left. She puts a flower on a gravestone when a young gentleman dressed in a dirty suit joins her. "Come along, we have much to do."

"Yes mother."

They leave. The gravestone they were at said Esther.
