(looking around) What is all this?
You don't remember? We went to the opera house together. It was your first full day back into New Orleans' society after Klaus removed the dagger from you. It's a memory that only you and I share.

S1 E15Unfinished Business
A mutual law of nature, Marcel, is the strong always take from the weak.
Well, if you were so strong you wouldn't have run away from New Orleans like a little bitch all those years ago.
I will fight for my family until my last breath.
And I'll fight the witches until mine.
You do not want to end up on the wrong side of me.
Oh, Rebekah Mikaelson, you do not want to end up in the wrong side of me.
Well, how may I ask was this particular vision interpreted?
Pretty much that your baby would bring death to all witches.
Oh well, I grow fonder of this child by the second.
You don't look well.
Well, only this morning I had a mystical dagger embedded in my chest. So, I'd say I'm holding myself together quite well.
You're the one they call honorable.
Yes, that's what they call me. And yet, I followed my brother here to New Orleans to engage in a war. So, I ask you: does that sound honorable to you?
You don't look well.
Well, only this morning I had a mystical dagger embedded in my chest, so I'd say I'm holding myself together quite well... Davina, I believe that you and I have the power to end a war between witches and vampires before it truly begins. I, by keeping my brother in line; you, by behaving like your true self—not some tool for Marcel or the witches.
Any why should I trust you?
Well, for one thing, in spite of a ravenous hunger, I have not tried to take your blood.
We had a deal! You protect my unborn child, I dismantle Marcel's army. And whilst I've been busy fulfilling my part of the bargain, you allowed Hayley to be attacked and almost killed by a gaggle of lunatic witches.
I had nothing to do with it, I swear. Hayley and I are linked, remember? She dies, I die.
What the bloody hell is a Harvest?
It's a ritual our coven does every three centuries, so that the bond to our ancestral magic is restored. We appease our ancestors, they keep our ancestral power flowing.
Any why haven't I heard of this?
Because a Harvest always seemed like a myth. A story, passed on through generations like Noah's ark, or the Buddha walking on water. The kind some people take literally, and some people don't.
Well, this might spice things up. I just heard about a bunch of dead witches out in the bayou. The kind of damage a werewolf might do, only there was no full moon. I have an informant out there I need to meet and I would love for you to go with me.
Dead witches in the bayou. Sounds like less of a problem, and more like a cause for celebration.
Well, something killed them. And may still be out there. And with your blood the only cure for a werewolf bite, I would love for you to accompany me.

You've never cared about witch business, Sophie. And now, you have the gall to reveal our private dealings to an outsider.
You have to find another way.

You think we do this lightly? The vampire presence in the Quarter is growing stronger, we need more power to fight them off. Harsh times call for harsh measures.
So, enlighten me. What did you mean when you said you had to die?
That's what the Harvest was. They said they'd put us four girls in a state of, like, peaceful limbo as part of the offering. And then later, at the Reaping, we'd awaken and be reborn. I never got as far as the limbo part, which means the Harvest isn't complete. That's why the witches are so freaked out. The Reaping is just around the corner, and if they don't finish it before then, it's over. All I have to do is wait it out.
(about the Harvest) You're the one who stopped it.
Kieran knew every detail from Sophie. After his nephew's massacre in the church, he was so torn up. He left town just before the Harvest. But on his way out, he came to me, and he asked me to stop the Harvest. He knew I didn't want the witches getting any more power. And I do have a rule about people abusing kids, so, I did what he asked.
You'll keep your promise about my mother's spell book?
I will. You know, difficulties aside, I value my family above everything. I am sorry that yours failed you.
You brother, Klaus handed you to Marcel in a box, yet you still don't give up on him?
Well, I've given up on giving up. It's an affliction. I will fight for my family until my last breath.
No one hurts my family and lives. No one.
