Plot[]

It's night. Camille is driving, trying to find a pay phone, and Hope is crying. At an empty store, she gets out and brings Hope with her. She hears noise and threatens to gouge their eyes out if they try anything. Elijah says that's not necessary, and Camille asks what happened. He replies it's a discussion for the road, and they leave.

Hayley wants to leave to meet her daughter who's on the way to the compound with Camille and Elijah. But Klaus tells her she needs to reunite the packs and marry Jackson, if Hope is going to have an army to protect her.

Davina wonders why Kol didn't think to call her for help, but Kol is pleased that their having a proper spat; it's as if they're going steady. Kol suggests they work on the dagger.

Jackson and Aiden burn the bodies of the alphas. Aiden says the werewolves will want revenge, but Jackson replies that he'll make it clear it was the witches who used dark magic on the vampires. Klaus comes and brings a bag of heads of the werewolf alphas who refused to relinquish the moonlight rings.

Freya arrives in a morgue, and unzips a bag with a severely injured Finn with her protective pendant on him. She performs a spell to heal him. At the same time, Kol and Davina perform the spell that will create the dagger to put Klaus to sleep. It works. Davina kisses Kol, but Kol's nose begins to bleed. He lies and says it's because of the spell, it's too powerful not to have any physical effect. Finn wakes up in the morgue.

Rebekah brings Hayley a wedding dress. She's gonna miss the wedding, because she has to help Kol. Rebekah also tells Hayley she may be marrying a Kenner, but she'll always be a Mikaelson.

While preparations are underway, Jackson meets Hope for the first time. Elijah looks on.

Elijah goes to Klaus, and Klaus warns him not to dissuade Hayley from marrying Jackson. Elijah begins to think Klaus bullied Hayley's decision, but Klaus says Hayley is simply putting family first.

In her room, Elijah begins to tell Hayley something, but Hayley stops him. Ever since she first saw him, she felt everything for him, but he's never spoken about his feelings, but Jackson has, and she thinks she'll be happy with him. Elijah sheds a tear.

Jackson gives Hayley a necklace, the stone is moss agate. She was born under a planting moon, so it's her mineral totem. He wants her to have something that is hers, as she's wearing Rebekah's dress and getting married in Klaus' house.

The wedding goes on, and Elijah watches with Klaus. After Jackson kisses his bride, the wolves' eyes become amber for a moment. The unification ritual is complete. They have a reception, and Klaus publicly announces Hope to the wolves, and invites Jackson and Hayley to live in the compound.

Hayley says she didn't know Klaus would, but Elijah has decided to move out and help Marcel with his new community.

Davina finds Kol all weak, and he tells her he's dying. She and Rebekah try to help as best they can, but it's useless. Kol wants to be alone with Davina, and they have a last dance in the cemetery. Klaus, Rebekah and Elijah are on their way to the cemetery to be with him in his final moments. Rebekah promises to bring him back.

Freya tells Finn that Dahlia will find Hope through her magic, as it will serve as a beacon.
