Landon leaves the library and runs into Raf, "Who's doing the magic analysis?" he asks his best friend. "I think Ms. Featherwood," Raf replies. "We can do it ourselves. It shouldn't be too hard to figure out," Landon says. "What are you doing?" Landon asks as he notices the bag that Raf was carrying. "Getting the hell out of here," Raf says. "You don't want to wait for the results?" Landon asks. "Is waiting around gonna change anything, Lan?" Raf asks. "Look, I...I just can't sit here," Raf says. "Okay. Whatever you need, I'm there," Landon says.

"This seems like a bad idea," Klaus says. "Everyone in the school is getting ready to help you so you can survive, and you are going to leave them all in the dust," Klaus asks. Lizzie turns to Grace, "Can I say it," Lizzie asks. Grace shrugs, "If you want to," Grace says. "THIS IS WHY LANDON DOES NOT COME UP WITH THE PLANS," Lizzie shouts. 

Alaric bursts into the Necromancer's crypt with a cloth bag, "We had a deal!" the headmaster argues. "Oh, I'm well aware and coursing with black magic as a result. So you'd do well to watch your tone," the Necromancer argues. Alaric dumps the contents of the bag onto the ground and Chad's head rolls to the Necromancer's feet. "Oh, see, that's more like it. But you really didn't have to get me anything," the Necromancer says as he picks up the head. "Oh...I'll be damned. Is this?" he asks. "Your former acolyte," Alaric says. "Chad. I knew him well, Horatio," the Necromancer says. "Oh, stop playing games. This was all your doing," Alaric growls. "Hardly. We sealed our pact with a covenant spell. I obviously upheld my end of the bargain, hence the magic I now possess. I severed my connection to them, just like you asked, no strings attached," the Necromancer says. He begins laughing and Alaric looks at him annoyed, "What is so damn funny?" Alaric asks. "I followed your word to the letter, but as I was the one who brought them back to life..." the Necromancer says. "It was dooming them all over again," Alaric says. "Precisely!" the Necromancer exclaims. "So they are gonna die?" Alaric asks. "The wolf, most definitely. By sunrise, I'd imagine," the Necromancer replies. "But the phoenix...ah, it's doubtful. I'm not sure he was ever technically d*ad, to be honest, given his powers of resurrection," the Necromancer continues. "And what about Alyssa?" Alaric asks. "Chin up. One out of three ain't bad," the Necromancer taunts. "Mm," Alaric growls angrily. "Fine. Be that way," the Necromancer says as Alaric storms out of the crypt. 

Klaus and Kol exchange a look, the hybrid nodding his head. The two Originals wanted to get rid of Alaric altogether. They no longer wanted to watch their daughters have to pick up the pieces from Alaric's problems. 

The whole of Mystic Falls is covered in a ruby red hue, a figure walks through the woods to Steven's Quarry. "What the hell," Faith says. She breaks through the trees to find a large tree standing in the center, "This was not here before," the girl says. "Oh, bloody hell," Henrik says. Faith turns to see her Uncles, "Oh, good lord," Finn echoes. Finn nods his head toward the tree line behind Faith. The Mikaelson girl turns to see a woman with a head of blonde hair, smiling at her.

"Camille," Klaus says. "The sky," Rebekah says. Grace snorts, "What about it," the girl says sarcastically. "When you died it was closer to pink than red and now it's closer to red," Rebekah says. Faith nods, "It's ironic when we realize why," the girl says.

Alaric stands before the self named Suped Squad, "I wish I had better news. We don't have much time," he says gravely. "Super Squad always saves the day. What do you need us to do?" MG asks. "Anything we can," Alaric says. "We should also make a plan for if...things don't go our way," Kaleb says. Grace snorts, "And here I thought I was the cynic," the dark haired Mikaelson says. "What?" Grace asks when Lizzie glares at her. "We got to be realistic about our odds here. Right?" Kaleb says. "You leave the worst-case scenario up to me. In the meantime, just keep looking for loopholes," Alaric says addressing the whole group. "Jed, the pack should be with him right now," he says. "Pack can't help with this, Dr. S," Jed says. "Why not?" Alaric asks upset that the wolf was arguing with the headmaster. "A dying wolf separates himself from the pack. We have to respect his privacy, keep our distance unless he chooses to reach out to us," Jed explains. "Is that how you'd want to be treated?" Alaric snaps. "Sorry. It's just our nature," Jed explains. "He's right," Grace says. "Wolves and in turn werewolves have a biological response when they are dying to separate themselves from the pack so that the pack can get used to them being away," the dark haired Mikaelson interjects. Jed nods at Grace silently thanking her for backing him up. "Lizzie, the witches...have them keep trying any and all healing spells," Alaric says turning to his daughter. "Already on it," Lizzie says turning to Grace. "Plus, we gave Raf an elixir that links him to the lunar cycle. It's a Band-Aid, but it will hold off his symptoms until the morning," the dark haired Mikaelson adds. "When he drops dead," Kaleb mutters. The group gives him a look, Grace however looks out the window with a far off look in her deep brown eyes. "I said that out loud. I am so..." the vampire trails off. "My point is, if anyone can find a way to save him, it's us," Alaric says. "There's only one problem with that," Hope says coming into the room. "Rafael took off. He's gone," she adds. 

"There," Kol says. Davina turns to him confused, "That's where Grace figured out that he could be turned," Kol says. Grace looks down and Lizzie interlaces her fingers with the Mikaelsons fingers.

New Orleans

Kol and Klaus find Rebekah in the sitting room of the compound, "Bekah," Kol calls out. "There is something we need to tell you," Kol says. "It's Faith, isn't it," she asks. "Bekah," Kol tries. Rebekah shakes her head with tears in her eyes. Kol sees Rebekah's meltdown before Klaus does and uses his vampire speed to catch her before she falls onto the ground in a heap of tears. "It's okay," he whispers. Rebekah shakes her head, "I know what you are feeling right now, but trust me, it will be okay," Kol whispers to his younger sister. "The feeling that you cannot do anything to help her," he says. "But know this," Kol says as he pulls away from Rebekah. "Our girls were raised by us," Kol says, gesturing between himself and Klaus. "So whatever happened to Faith, whoever killed her, they suffered," Klaus says darkly. "I hope whoever killed my daughter, suffered immensely," Rebekah says. 

Rebekah holds her hand out for Kol and he reciprocates the action. "Our girls are badass," Kol whispers. Rebekah smiles despite the situation, what she said before was true. She had spent a thousand years with her brothers, she not only saw the bad parts of them but she saw the good parts about her brothers as well. She could always count on Kol to understand a little about how she was feeling, she could count on Elijah to see her side of any argument and deep down she knew that Klaus would protect her with his life.  

Landon and Raf pull up to the werewolf's Dad's cabin. "This is your big dope plan? Camping?" Landon asks. "Yeah. A whole lot of fishing, grilling and chilling. Like we did just when we were ordinary kids," Raf says. "Come on, dude," Raf says. "Yeah, sounds like the perfect day," Landon admits. "Oh, yeah, it's gonna be. Hey, I hope you don't mind me bringing my dad along for the fun," Raf says. "The more, the merrier," Landon agrees. "Walt has no idea that we're even coming. I'm-a go surprise him," Raf says. "I'll get our stuff," Landon says as he opens the trunk to grab their bags. Raf heads into the cabin, "Yo, Pops," he calls out. As the werewolf moves more into the room, "Hello?" he asks. After a couple of minutes, Raf comes out of the cabin to see Landon closing the trunk. "What's wrong?" Landon asks. "He's not in there," Raf says. "Oh. Okay," Landon says. "Uh...You want to just wait or...?" Landon asks. "It's fine. We can just go," raf says. "Go? Go where?" Raf asks as he sits at the table. "It's-it's not a big deal. I'm scared," Raf admits. 

"I feel bad for him," Rebekah says. "But," Freya adds. "They are still dumb," Rebekah says.
