Plot[]
Finn is struggling to locate Hope, but fails and the map goes on fire. Freya walks in, but Finn doesn't recognize her. She reveals herself by speaking of what they used to do as children.
Rebekah is unhappy with a painting of her original form, as Klaus had drawn her chin differently. Elijah, on the phone, isn't amused, and doubts whether Freya is who she says she is. Klaus asks how she's still alive, before realizing how ridiculous that question is, considering everyone in their family has managed to cheat death. He wants to know if Dahlia is still alive, but Rebekah hadn't had time to ask, and Klaus gets upset since the matter is so important. Rebekah also finds out Hayley is getting married to Jackson.
In the bayou, Jackson reveals a crib that he was working on when Hayley was still pregnant. He also reveals that a few packs outside Louisiana want to be in on the unification ceremony, so, Hope will have all the protection she needs.
Klaus discovers Finn has Marcel. Kol comes back. Rebekah wants to slap him, but he stops her, saying he needs help. Finn has cursed him in Kaleb's body and will die soon. They only believe him because, as a boy, Kol never lied once he's been called out on the act. Kol says Finn is trying to get a secret out of Marcel, but Marcel knows nothing of it. However, Kol says Finn has the means to get it out of him.
Freya reveals that Dahlia put a spell on her, a spell that puts them to sleep for a hundred years and wake with only one year of life. She's repeated the cycle for hundreds of years. Freya fled from Dahlia long ago, and she's been running ever since.
Finn needs to find Hope, and Freya says nothing is impossible. As powerful as Finn is, Freya found him. She helps him find Hope.
Finn needs Marcel to run an errand for him, and kills a few of his crew to get him to do it.
Kol wants to know the secret, but he hasn't earned the right. Kol can't locate Finn or Marcel, and Klaus tells him to get Davina, but he doesn't want her to know he's sick. Klaus says if they can use his own spell (used on Kol to keep him from jumping) against Finn, he can simply kill Finn and their troubles would be solved. He gets inside Kol's head, but sees Kol's plan to create a dagger for him. He goes ballistic, and attacks Kol.
Camille has Elijah fix the house as a way of taking his mind off his PTSD issues.
Marcel tells Hayley about Finn's plan. He needs her blood, most likely for a locator spell. He knows about Hope.
Kol takes off, since he's always the odd one out of the family, and leaves them to find Finn themselves. He gives them pain before walking out of the compound. Rebekah says Klaus' temper will be the end of him one day.
Kol goes back to his lair, crying, and Finn calls him on the phone. Finn needs Klaus' blood, and will undo the curse on Kol in exchange.
Rebekah assures Klaus it would take a hundred witches to find Hope, but Klaus reminds her of Esther's flock of starlings. Kol walks in, putting Rebekah to sleep and attacking Klaus with his magic. He talks of how he's wronged, dead but never mourned, and has a family who don't care if he lives or dies. He goads Klaus to kill him, but Klaus doesn't, because he's still family. Kol tells him Finn needs his blood, and asks why he'd want it. He implies he'd risk his life to help Klaus; and that he knows enough about dark magic to know he's hexed, there's no reversing what Finn has done. Kol would rather help Klaus than to help Finn.
Hayley goes to Jackson for his blood, walking into a ritual involving all the alphas who have come for the unification ceremony. It requires a bit of their blood.
In the bell tower of St. Louis Cathedral, they find it empty except for the remnants of a spell. Finn has already found Hope, they realize, and simply distracted them by "needing" their blood. Kol sees a runic tile with the symbol meaning "baby," and realizes Hope is still alive.
Just as Elijah gets a call from Klaus about Finn, Finn walks in. He reveals Freya helped him, and then he daggers Elijah to put him to sleep for awhile.
Kol says they need to overload Finn with power, because no witch can handle so much of it. He promises to get Rebekah in her original body if it's the last thing he does. Klaus brings a bag full of dark objects, which Kol recognizes half of it is his.
The spell doesn't work, so Klaus lets them channel him. Kol uses Papa Tundé's blade on him, and they try again.
Marcel's crew are lost in the bayou, and attack the alphas. Marcel and Hayley hold them off while the alphas get to safety.
Elijah wakes up and puts a knife into Finn. Finn uses his magic against Elijah, and Elijah gets thrown against the wall. Gas leaks across the house.
Kol's spell works, and Finn is vulnerable. The vampires fall unconscious, Finn's spell is broken. Meanwhile, Camille is heading to the house, but the car stops in front of the house on its own, and won't start.
After Finn goes on and on about Elijah's wicked deeds and taunts him about Tatia, and how Hope isn't safe, Elijah takes off his ring and reveals to Finn about the gas. He puts his hand in front of the sun, and the house explodes.
The car starts back up, and Camille looks in the backseat at Hope.
