♪

I'm sorry, Officer.

If this is about the moaning

coming from my dorm room last night,

it seems to have stopped.

It's not. Is there an adult I can speak to?

Someone in charge?

Sure. My father's the headmaster.

I'll go wake him up.

You're Alaric Saltzman's daughter?

Yeah.

One of them. Why?

I'm afraid I have some bad news.

You scared me.

I thought that you left.

You gave me a whole speech about

how you deserved better than that, remember?

Well, I'm glad that it left an impression.

So, what do you want to do today?

Cleo's back, thanks to you.

So I think we should celebrate.

Josie!

What the hell was that?

Lizzie.

Bad luck comes in threes, right?

In my experience,

it can be more than that.

Why do you ask? Because from what

you've told me, the last two guys

that crashed here are dead.

Raf's still alive. Technically.

And before this place was a school,

this room belonged to a vampire by the name of Stefan Salvatore.

Who died.

Kind of like Landon,

if Cleo's right about what happened to him.

Assuming she is,

Landon made the ultimate hero move.

And he's number three.

Athletes are superstitious.

Maybe that's why people think we're dumb.

We'll assign you your permanent room

after you talk to Dr. Saltzman.

Hey. Man, I thought you'd be more excited

about us being Super Friends.

Even if I don't know what my powers actually are.

We'll figure it out.

I mean, you, me

and Lizzie

at the same school?

What could go wrong?

MG.

Lizzie needs you.

How long have you been in here?

Most of the night.

Inspiration strikes at strange times.

I'm glad to hear that, 'cause I could damn sure use some.

You could not sleep, either?

How could I? Thinking about everything

that happened with Landon,

how I handed Hope over to Malivore

and sold out the whole school along with her.

Just trying to think of some way

to make up for it.

I miss Landon, too, but...

I can't help him,

so I'll help you.

The only question is how? Yeah, I-I don't know.

You j... I just figure you're the expert on forgiveness.

You know, I mean, you straight-up tried to murder Hope

and now, now you're part of the Squad.

So you...

I'm sorry. That was...

Bad joke.

You know, sometimes we laugh so we don't cry.

If you wish to be forgiven,

you need only be honest with your friends.

Our friends.

They will understand,

as they did when I told them my story.

Let's go find them.

See if you're right.

This isn't right.

Our father spends practically his whole life

protecting this town, and now his life

is in the hands of doctors who aren't even smart enough

to know what an actual animal attack looks like.

Lizzie, I understand

how hard this is, but you need to calm down.

How can you say that when they are

cutting into him right now?

When Mr. Williams is in Shanghai, visiting Emma?

When Mom's halfway down the Congo,

ironically looking for a way to save our lives?

There's no need to answer that, because MG's blood

could fix whatever is wrong with Dad in a second.

If he makes it off the table.

Lizzie,

I hear you, okay?

But so can everyone else.

Who cares? No one here takes us seriously.

The staff won't even tell us what's going on,

except that our father was assaulted.

Maybe hit by a car.

All we know is that he's fighting for his life.

We've already lost Landon.

Dad's gonna pull through.

There's no reason to think of any other outcome.

Okay?

MG.

What did your vamp ears hear?

Dr. Saltzman is out of surgery. He's stable.

Thank God. Okay, when can we see him?

More importantly, when can you see him?

Soon.

But I don't think I'm gonna be able to fix

what's wrong with him.

We just heard what happened.

How's Doc doing?

Where's Hope?

Is there a problem or something?

Several.

None worth wasting my breath on.

I didn't come here to talk, either. I came here to drink.

Grab me a bottle of tequila.

I'm gonna need a chaser.

Who's this

My Aunt Rebekah.

It's been too long, little one.

Thought you'd be happier to see me.

I was happy. And then I saw you.

Look, lady,

I know you have a fancy accent and all,

so maybe you don't get it.

She don't seem to want you here.

Yes, well, what I want

is another song.

Because you're right, I'm a very fancy bitch,

and country music is for garbage people.

Run along and change it, will you?

Sure.

Freya told me what happened.

Sorry I wasn't there for your big day, but

I'm here now.

Shall we make up for lost time?

How, a Mikaelson family lecture?

Hope, this is my worst nightmare.

I always thought of myself as the fun aunt, and yet,

here you are, looking at me like I'm an old.

Dear God, please tell me I used that right.

Close enough. What kind of fun did you have in mind?

Weird first day, huh?

Yeah. The weirdest.

Thank you for the save.

Why aren't you at the hospital?

Because sometimes,

being in a relationship with a Saltzman sister

means realizing you aren't a Saltzman sister.

Besides, I hate hospitals.

So take it easy in here, okay?

How do you manage

being with a Saltzman?

Um...

theoretically speaking.

Are you seriously asking me for romantic advice?

I know that I gave you a really hard time

when you were dating Maya.

But in my defense,

I probably would have seen things differently

if I would have known that you were a werewolf.

Thanks.

But are we theoretically talking about Lizzie?

Then damn, dude, you do need help.

I don't even know how she feels about me,

just that...

I'd like to do something for her.

Let her know that she's not alone in this.

Well, when you put it that way,

it seems like we have the same problem.

I got through to Finch.

Hope's not at the school and...

And, obviously, I missed something big while I was gone.

Just a magic mirror call with Professor Vardemus,

who told us what I was afraid of.

Doc's in a coma.

Our blood-- it can't wake Dr. Saltzman up.

And it turns out the human brain

doesn't heal so easy.

It's the same way with certain diseases.

The doctors finally came by, too.

And they said that we won't know

what we're dealing with until Dad wakes up.

If.

Perhaps there is a way to wake Dr. Saltzman and learn

what happened to him.

How?

Another vampire power.

The same one you used to reach me

when I was trapped in Malivore's mind.

A head dive.

She's right. If I can get you two in there

and you can find Doc, then... Then we might be able

to bring him back with us.

It's a good plan.

But for all we know, a monster could have attacked Dad,

so sorry, Kaleb, but I'm not willing to trust someone

who sold us out to Malivore.

Guess that means it's up to you.

I deserved every bit of that.

I just wish there was something I could do.

Perhaps there is.

Because if Elizabeth is right

and there's another monster out there,

Dr. Saltzman isn't the only person you wronged

who might be in danger.

Or need help, after what happened to Landon.

I'm gonna find Hope.

Aren't you gonna finish your drink?

Yeah, I think I'd better slow down.

Maybe I'm an old after all.

That's not the drink I was talking about.

I've had quite enough of that.

Besides, she's almost empty.

So what?

We can drain her dry, pop another open.

You said you wanted to have fun.

Forget everything that happened here today.

Leave. But always remember that country music is awful.

I'm surprised you kept up the act as long as you did.

Must have been torture for you.

What's torture is watching you go through this on your own,

when you have a family who loves you

and who has experienced exactly what you are.

Please come home with me.

You have no idea what I'm going through.

What am I missing?

Is being a Tribrid

really that different than being a vampire?

This isn't about what you're missing, Auntie Bex.

Your humanity.

♪

It's too late.

My humanity switch flipped the second

that sword went through Landon.

But I got to say,

it really seems to be working for me.

I got so sick of being controlled by my emotions.

It's like: love, lose, grieve, repeat.

I am finally free.

So don't try to talk me out of it. I'm not coming back.

Then why did you bring me here?

To send a message.

Make sure that my, um, little friends stay away, too.

Well, I don't think they'll listen.

I'll make it loud and clear.

Hope, this isn't you.

Oh, it is.

I know you've been trying to stop this from happening

since I was a little girl, but, uh...

...you were only holding me back.

'Cause I finally realized...

...I am my father's daughter.

And I'm cool with that.

Dad!

Dad.

Wake up, Dad.

We're here. Please.

I don't think he can hear you.

Because that's not him.

This is just his last memory.

Which means we know who attacked him.

That we need to warn the others about...

Screw Hope.

If she was here right now,

I would kill her.

I don't think that's possible.

A-And I don't think you mean that.

Doesn't matter.

You heard her.

Her humanity is off.

And the last thing she wants right now is to be around us.

So if you want to protect our friends,

it's better if they don't know.

Because they'll go after her.

And she'd probably murder them, too.

Stop saying that. Dad's not dead.

Well, then where is he?! I don't know.

But we're in his mind, so he has to be here somewhere.

Those are just... Memory Dad's.

Those stupid boots Mom got him for Christmas.

I know. But in the memory, he came from over there.

What the hell went that way?

His psyche? His soul?

Only one way to find out.

♪

♪

This isn't a memory.

This is an actual nightmare.

Utter chaos, wanton destruction,

borderline death.

Our 11th birthday party.

Though I remember it being

pretty sweet. How?

We got into a fight with Dad

because we invited everybody but Hope.

Then he brought her anyway, and she turned

our cake filling into worms.

So you Motus'd her into that bouncy house,

and she tried to Incendia

your party dress. So...

I put up a shield spell and it deflected hers

and set our presents on fire.

Did we really invite Wade?

Lizzie, focus.

Why would Dad want to revisit this disaster?

That's easy.

This is the day he realized that Hope is evil.

He took our side over hers for once.

Remember? He took her into his office for hours.

The whole school was gossiping about it.

In my smallest moments,

I used to dream about what he said to her.

Then you're about to find out.

Because if you're right,

that's where he should be.

I am so disappointed in you.

Oh, good. We're just in time. We're not.

We're too late. Look at his clothes.

It's Memory Dad, not Dad Dad. We need to keep going. Shh. I don't

want to miss the best part. I mean, what you did was irresponsible,

reckless,

violent, even. They started it.

Hope, we have talked about this

so many times. It's not fair.

They get to have their own party.

Their whole family comes.

But yours can't.

They don't even remember me. But you're right--

it's not fair.

Oh, you have got to be kidding me.

Shh. So what am I supposed to do

when Lizzie and Josie are mean to me?

Be stronger than them.

Because you are.

What good is being strong

if I have to hide it?

Look, I know it's hard. But only the strongest can.

Can I go back to my room now?

I promise I won't burn anything else.

I have a different form of discipline in mind.

There's, um, a new art exhibit at the museum in town.

But I love art. It reminds me of my dad.

What kind?

Modern.

That's stupid.

Just blocks, lines and colors.

Then maybe if you can find the beauty in that,

you'll be able to find the beauty

in what we've just talked about, too.

Can we get ice cream?

Sure.

But, uh,

let's sneak out this way. Okay,

maybe you were right

and we don't need to be here. I mean,

our dad is practically on his deathbed

and all he is thinking about

is how he could have been a better father

to Hope Mikaelson,

who freaking put him there.

How does that make sense?

I don't know.

But we need to stick to the plan and find Dad.

Because if we don't, we'll never understand.

No other outcomes, remember?

Fine. But where are we supposed to go next?

Oh, sweetheart. Let me help.

I don't want your help.

Why don't you get that?

Because your humanity is off.

Which you explained to me wasn't even your choice.

It's the best thing that's ever happened to me.

No one craves tetanus this much.

What I crave is freedom.

The ability to choose my own fate, go wherever I want,

be whoever I want.

Forever.

Such is the blessing of immortality.

And also the curse.

When your emotions are heightened,

being a vampire can be indescribably beautiful.

The sights, the sounds--

sadly, in this moment-- the smells...

all are beyond the limitations of the human experience.

But what's the point if you don't appreciate it?

I mean, you tell me.

You're the one who wants to be human again.

I've lived as a vampire for over a thousand years.

I've experienced everything the world has to offer.

Except those experiences that being a vampire

makes impossible.

I was envious when Niklaus and Hayley

had the miracle that is you.

But I would gladly give up that dream.

I would give you the cure if you wanted it.

You're a hypocrite.

So why don't you stop trying to be a martyr

like my father and go live whatever life you want.

Just let me do the same.

You're right.

I am a hypocrite.

I always hated it when Niklaus did this to me.

♪

You're being a little extreme, don't you think?

I've already sent the construction crew home, Emma.

Because we can't open this school

if it means admitting Hope Mikaelson,

and you know it.

I mean, this psych evaluation

you did on her--it has

more red flags

than a Georgia football game. Of course it does.

She's a Mikaelson.

But I thought the point of this place

is helping children like her.

There is no one like her.

This girl might be the most powerful supernatural

who ever existed, and she's a ticking time bomb.

I didn't write those words.

Well, maybe not exactly.

But tell me what happens, in your professional opinion,

if we take on this risk and screw it up.

Honestly?

It would likely haunt us for the rest of our lives.

Vampires, witches, werewolves,

all united by a single purpose.

To kill monsters. You see, Malivore's dead.

Destroying you is the only thing

the school,

my whole life after this day became about one thing--

protecting the both of you

and making sure you remain protected,

even after I was gone.

That's why you changed your mind.

Why you let Hope join the Salvatore School.

You know, at first,

all I could think about was how big of a risk it was.

How her turning out to be like her father

would hurt you or Josie or anyone else at the school.

You know, but then I just started seeing it another way.

I figured if you both turned out

as well as you have in spite of being raised by me,

so could she.

You know, I saw a world where the three of you became friends.

Family.

The kind that would do anything for each other,

you know, in case something happened to your mother or me.

You know, uh, she would protect you

and you would protect her, you know,

in case I got myself killed.

Or worse...

...let you down.

Which I have.

So please forgive me, Lizzie.

And you, too, Milton,
