This last remnant of Kol's original form could allow Davina to cast a resurrection spell and bring him back.

Night Has A Thousand Eyes Clip
- Davina (to Klaus): "What do you want Klaus?"
- Klaus: "Well, perhaps I'm merely concerned about you. You do seem to spend an inordinate amount of time in graveyards for a teenager. It's a rather morbid habit."
- Davina: "Well, I am touched by your concern. Anything else?"
- Klaus: "Now that you mention it, there is one matter with which I can use your help. Mikael. It appears my sister Freya, has dispatched him to gather some items I require and seeing as how you brought him back from the dead, I'm guessing you have the means to find him."
- Davina: "Sorry. I'd love to help, but I'm busy mourning another dead boyfriend."
- Klaus: "Do you think you're the only one who grieves my brother?"
Sneak Peek
- Josephine: "Well, this was quite the place back in my day. St. James Infirmary. Vulgar, Filthy, Loud. Some of the best nights of my life. But I assume you didn't go through all this trouble on my account."
- Marcel: "As you know for years, this place served as neutral grounds for both our communities. A place where all were welcome and safe."
- Elijah: "And in keeping with that tradition, we'd like to invite you to cast a spell. One that would prevent the use of any magic within these walls."
- Josephine: "You'd ask me to create a place where my kind would be utterly helpless?"
- Elijah: "My dear Josephine, powerful as you are, surely you've must have sensed this grave new threat?"
- Josephine: "And I am without empathy but I have a responsibility to the witches. This is not our fight."
- Elijah: "Well then. I do hope you understand that anyone willing to stand aside and allow my family to be threatened.... I would be forced to considered an enemy."
Inside Clip
- Klaus: "She's preparing for battle. My guess is sooner rather than later."
- Hayley: "Well if she was watching us, she would know that we have our own army."
- Elijah: "She also knows where we are and given the immense nature of her power, we simply have no idea what to expect."
- Hayley: "Awesome."
- Mikael (to Klaus): "Well. Well. Well. Well."
- Davina (to Mikael and Klaus): "So you two are friends now?"
- Klaus: "Absolutely not. We're merely aligned out of necessity for the purpose we both enjoy the most: Glorious murder."
- Dahlia (to Mikael and Klaus): "Let us begin."
- Mikael (to Klaus): "We are well met. So be it. Are you ready?"
- Klaus: "I was born ready."
