| “ | My whole life the witches of this city have lived in fear. Vampires run wild, children are sacrificed. Nobody took charge. Now, be honest have any of you stood up to the vampires? The Mikaelson's? No? Well I have, and I have won. Now, I might be young, but the truth is, I know better than anyone here what we're really up against. And, I can help build a peace, or I can burn our enemies to the ground. | ” |

Summary[]
A FAMILY DIVIDED — After discovering that he's been betrayed by his own siblings, Klaus teams up with an unlikely ally and sets off on a warpath, hell bent on revenge. Amidst the news that Klaus is on the loose, Elijah, Rebekah and Freya move forward with their plan to lure Dahlia to the compound and take her down once and for all. Meanwhile, Hayley and Jackson attempt to escape through the flooded bayou, even as Marcel finds himself hunted by a dangerous new threat. Finally, Davina is presented with an offer that could allow her the chance to bring back Kol, though it will require her to make a life-altering decision. Cami and Vincent also appear.
Plot[]
As the thunderstorm continues, Rebekah and Davina are ready to begin the unlinking spell. Klaus feeds on two people, but it isn't enough, so Dahlia hypnotizes several more people for him to feed. Rebekah tests herself by cutting her finger, and Davina doesn't have the cut on hers—the spell worked.
Mary combines Solomon's seal and snapdragon and burns them, which will help them tell when magic is afoot. If the smoke is white, they're in the clear; if it's black, there's a hex; if it's red, they're in real trouble. Mary and Hayley see the smoke is black, as the storm is unnatural.
At the compound, they find out Klaus has escaped. Rebekah calls Camille to ask her to reason with him.
Dahlia is getting impatient, and Klaus points out that his siblings could evade Dahlia until she slumbers for another century, or she could follow his plans.
While Rebekah wonders how Klaus got freed, Freya figures it was Dahlia's plan all along—frame Klaus for Aiden's murder, divide the family, and win him over to her side. Freya has finished the spell, she reveals, and gives Elijah the knife to kill her.
Gia has found out from Marcel that Josephine is dead and wants to know who to kill. Elijah says they'll kill no one and wants her to leave to safety, as it isn't the time for them to be having this conversation, but Gia counters that there is never the time. Elijah kisses her and asks for her to leave. She goes back to Marcel's place.
Klaus snaps Marcel's neck and bleeds him of vervain. His siblings are bound by bonds of friendship and romantic entanglements, and he intends to use that against Elijah and Rebekah. He compels Marcel, ordering him to keep Rebekah from interfering and to kill her if she escapes.
Rebekah is in another room chanting, maintaining the spell that gives the doll an illusion of Hope, and Freya is holding "Hope" in wait of Dahlia while Elijah is hidden with the knife. Freya says she betrayed her siblings to get Hope away and give to her, but once Dahlia has come close enough, Marcel interrupts Rebekah's chants and "Hope" crumbles into clay. Klaus attacks Elijah and Dahlia puts Freya into slumber early.
Klaus forces Elijah to watch as a compelled Gia takes off her daylight ring and burns. Elijah attacks Klaus in rage, but Klaus gets the best of him and uses Papa Tunde's blade. Camille tries to reason with him, but he bites her. She falls unconscious.
Klaus finds the pack, and the wolves unsuccessfully attack him. Mary takes Hope and drives off, while Jackson and Hayley take on Klaus. But Dahlia uses the Crescent Curse on Hayley, and linked with her, the pack turns too.
Meanwhile, Davina becomes Regent of the nine covens after convincing the witches that they need her, especially since no one else has stood up against the Mikaelsons and lived.
Dahlia says she'll bond Hope to her, and once she can channel her power, she'll keep her safe from all harm. However, Klaus stops her, as she offered an alliance that would benefit Hope but now Dahlia wants to link Hope to herself while she suffers from the sleep spell. Dahlia claims she'll free herself, but Klaus points out Hope is just a baby and more likely won't be able to handle it. He offers Dahlia an alternative—use him. Since she requires power to be immortal without the need to sleep for a century, why not channel him who already has eternal life?
Camille gets the blade out of Elijah and tells him Klaus secretly whispered in her ear that it was all a trick to get Dahlia to trust him. Elijah says she's lost her mind, and Klaus too. Camille tells him Klaus had to make it look convincing, and that she knows the secret to killing Dahlia.
