Damon comes back to life angry. Stefan tells Damon his emotions are getting in the way of their plan. Matt strolls outside with Rebekah. He lends her his coat. She's touched. She wants to go back inside. Elena tells Elijah his mother really has forgiven Klaus. Elijah takes the champagne toast. Esther makes the toast. All the Mikaelson kids drink. Klaus shows Caroline a Monet he stole. The bracelet he gave her once belonged to a princess. She notices his sketches. He brags, offering to show her the world. She asks why he needs his hybrid servant army and asks why he doesn't give Tyler his life back. Klaus has had enough and tells her to go. Caroline lectures him, telling him it's clear because his father didn't love him, he doesn't try to connect with anyone, just compelling them or siring them instead. But that's not how it works. She takes off the bracelet and leaves it. Rebekah tells Kol she changed her mind about Matt, saying she doesn't want to ruin their mother's night. Kol is irritated. Damon tries to manhandle Elena to leave. She tells him she worried he'd try to be a hero and ruin everything. He tells her he loves her. She says that might be part of the problem. Caroline comes looking for Matt. |
