SALVATIRE SCHOOL-DAY
[MG is putting free Kaleb posters on walls with vamp speed.]
Girl: (to Josie) I'll vote for Lizzie. But I want to borrow that pink sweater she has. [Josie gives her the sweater.]
Girl: Forever. [They shake their hands.]
"Isn't this a bribe?" Said Davina.
[Josie walks away and Penelope and Josie make eye contact.]
SALVATORE SCHOOL-GYM-DAY
[Rafael wakes up. Everyone has left except Lela.]
Lela: Good! You are awake. I can leave now.
"I left her there to wait for Rafael." Explained Audrey.
Lela: Oh and word of advice. Watch your back.
Rafael: Are you threatening me?
Lela: No, i'm warning you. If you haven't noticed it yet, whole pack loves Audrey and with the way you acted, you made enemy out of pack.
Klaus and Kol look pleased with outcome.
Lela: Good luck. You will need it.
Rafael: (scrowls) Why are you all even so loyal to her?
Lela: Why are we so loyaly to Audrey? Because she is our friend, our family and our Alpha and she cares about this pack and not thinking about it as weapon (glares) like you. She always helps us.
Rafael: She didn't help me.
"She did what was necessery." Said Klaus.
"She gave you chances, but you wasted them all." Defended Freya.
Lela: First of all, she already told you why she couldn't do it! And secondly, you don't order her! You know that she has never thrown anyone out of pack before? She is the best Alpha, you just kept pushing and made her do it.
Audrey smiles.
Rafael: The best Alpha?
Lela: Yes, the best Alpha. She was the one who helped everyone of us after we activated curse, she helped us understand what being a wolf means, she taugh us how to defend ourselves, she listens to our every problem without complaining. She was the first person, who supported me when i came out as trans. [Rafael looks little surprised.]
Mikaelsons look proud of Audrey.
Lela: Not even my parents... did, but she supported me and helped me accept who i am. She was the one who scared of everyone who were bulling me and i'm not the only one she helped. She was the one, who found out about Megan being in abusive realtionship and got her out of it, She was the one who helped Alex when he lost his mother, she was the one, who helped Eka when she had PTD and panic attacks. She gave us not just pack, but home here.
"You are good Alpha." Complimented Elijah.
"Thank you." Said Audrey.
Lela: She took care of us and we will take care of her. She erned our respect and loyalty and you... You will never get that. You have no idea what a great opportunity you missed, Rafael Waithe. [Lela turns around and leaves conflicted Rafael.]
"She is very loyal. It's good to have people like her on your side." Said Marcel. Audrey nodded.
SALVATORE SCHOOL-Day
Emma: All right. Voting is now closed.
[Students apploud.]
Emma: Let's get started. [Paper gets into Emma's hand from magical box.]
Emma: The werewolf representative will be... Audrey. [Werewolves cheer and apploud.]
Stefan, Caroline and Mikaelsons apploude for Audrey.
Emma: All right, settle down. Thank you. Next up... The vampire representative will be... Kaleb.
"What?" Said Davina.
"I knew he was planning something!" Said Klaus.
"But how?... Mg." Realised Caroline.
[Vampires cheer and apploud. Others look shocked. Upset Mg sits back down.]
Emma: All right, guys. [Vampires are still cheering.]
Emma: Settle down! Thank you.
Lizzie: Showtime. How do I look? [Josie helps her fix outfit.]
Emma: And the witch representative will be... Josie.
Everyone looks surprised except Audrey and Hope.
"But Josie didn't participate." Said Caroline.
[People are whispering. Josie looks in Penelope's way. Penelope shows Josie a fingergun.]
Emma: Thank you all for voting. And congratulations to our newly elected representatives.
DORIAN'S COTTAGE-DAY
Dryad: There were so many in that grove. Do you not remember any of us?
Alaric: But she knew you. She knows your name, that you're a vampire.
Oliver: I'm not sure what's going on here, but... we've never met before.
"How could he not remember her? I'm sure i would remember if i met nymph and relationship with her." Said Kol.
[Oliver moves to leave, but Dryad stops him.]
Dryad: In the forest, there was a clearing next to the river. The bed would blossom with daffodils every spring.
Oliver: Yeah, I walk there every day. It's where I proposed to my wife.
"Wife?!" Asked Caroline and Davina.
Dryad: You are married.
Oliver: Yeah.  [Dryad tears up.]
Oliver: Why did you ask me about the clearing?
Dryad: (holding her tears back) I'm sorry. I made a mistake. I thought you were someone else.
"Oh my god. It's so sad." Said Carolien. Everyone looks at Dryad sadly.
SALVATORE SCHOOL GROUND-DAY
Landon: You said you'd help me get answers. I didn't even want to do this.
Hope: Don't blame me because you're not special.
"Cruel." Said Damon.
"You are the one talking." Said Hope.
Landon: I apologized for lying to you. I explained why I took the Knife. Why are you still so mad at me?
Hope: I'm not mad. I couldn't care less. [Landon shows Hope the sphere that light up red.]
Hope: Fine. It's easier to be mad.
Landon: Why?
Hope: Because it is.
Landon: Or maybe it's because you feel like if you stop being mad, you're letting your guard down, and the legendary Hope Mikaelson couldn't possibly do that.
Hope: When I let my guard down, people disappoint me. [The sphere glows blue.]
Mikaelsons look at Hope empatheically and sadly.
Landon: Growing up in the foster system... every time I got sent someplace new, I'd hope that this would be the right place. You know, like, uh,
"click your heels three times," "no place like home" kind of stuff. Just somewhere I actually belonged. But it never was. You know, and you can only hold out hope for so long and-and be hurt by so many people before its starts to seems impossible to trust someone new. Especially when they lie to you. So, for the last time, I'm sorry. I broke your trust. I don't want to do it again. [The sphere glows blue.]
Hayley smirks smugly.
"I still don't like him." Scrowled Klaus.
Hope: Thank you.
Landon: But if this goes the wrong way, can you just make sure that Raf doesn't, um, follow me this time? As much as I want to stay here, he needs to. He finally found a home he deserves. I'm not gonna take that away from him.
"Sweet." Said Audrey.
[Landon walks away and sees, one of the pack girls-Eka, glaring at him.]
Landon: Oh. Hi.
Eka: You don't belong here.
Landon: Yeah. Everyone keeps saying that.
Eka: Leave! And take Rafael with you. This is last warning. [Eka punches Landon.]
"Eka" sighed Audrey.
Landon:  Wait, wait. [Eka punches again, but Landon manages to block it. Eka retails by kicking him in stomach. Landon is thrown away and he rolls down. Eka looks shocked. She clearly didn't mean to seriously injure him. She looks down at Landon panicked and runs away.]
SALVATORE SCHOOL-HOPE AND AUDREY'S DORM-NIGHT
[Rafael, Audrey and Hope are watching unconscious Landon.]
Rafael: I'm gonna tear Eka apart.
Audrey: No, you are not.
Rafael: She's gonna pay for what she did.
Audrey: She didn't mean to. She shouldn't have done this, but she realised it and came to me. That's why we found Landon!
"Exactly. She won't do it again. Excpecial after i warned her and She was already so nervous. She regreted it and learn her lesson." Said Audrey.
Rafael: She could've killed him.
Audrey: Eka is part of my pack and she is under my protection. You... will stay away from her. [Hope looks at Audrey and Rafael annoyed.]
Hope: (to Rafael) You want to do something to help him? Take a walk to the herb garden and get me some hazelwood root. [Audrey looks at Hope amused. Rafael leaves.]
"What is it for?" Asked Marcel.
"She made it up." Said amused Freya.
Landon: What does hazelwood root do?
Hope: Make him cool off before he realizes that I made it up.
Landon: Raf's had a... a rough couple of weeks. [Landon glares at Audrey.]
Audrey: (scrowls) His own fault. [Hope gives Audrey a look. Audrey rolls her eyes.]
Hope: (to Landon) Guess we can cross "supernatural healing" off the list.
(Laughs) I'm sorry that this happened to you... I know how badly you want to stay here, but this school is full of people like Eka. Some of us are nicer, some of us have more control, but all of us are capable of doing what she did.
Do you honestly think that you're safe here?
Landon: Yes, I do.
Audrey: (snorts) Then you are stupid.
Hope: (to Landon) You should rest.
SALVATORE SCHOOL-LIZZIE AND JOSIE'S DORM-NIGHT
[Lizzie is sitting on floor, trying to meditate and calm heself.]
Josie: Can I...
Lizzie: Shh.
Josie: ...get you anything?
Lizzie: I said, "Shh." I'm trying... to rise above it. So let me freaking rise.
Some chuckle. Caroline sighs at clear sibling issuies.
[Josie goes to Lizzie.]
Josie: Okay, I don't know why Penelope had them vote for me. It doesn't make any sense.
Lizzie: What's done is done, Jo.
Josie: Well, I can step down, and then they'd have to go with the runner-up.
Lizzie: Great minds think alike. I already asked Emma if we could do that.
"You could at least ask Josie, if she wanted her thrown." Said Audrey.
Josie: And Emma said no? Well, then we can ask Dad.
Lizzie: She said yes, except... it turns out... I wasn't the runner-up, either.
SALVATORE SCHOOL- CELLARS-NIGHT
[Kaleb is sitting in cellar, smirking.]
Kaleb: Let me guess. There's been a mistake. I won the popular vote, but not the electoral college.
MG: No. You won fair and square, besides the part where you stabbed me in the back.
Kaleb: Ooh. [Kaleb walks toward Mg.]
Kaleb: Doesn't feel too good, does it?
"Mg hasn't betrayed him! He was caught because he slipped up." said Caroline.
MG: Emma sent me to come and get you.
Kaleb: Okay. [Mg opens the door.]
MG: I only wanted to be elected so that I could fix things between us.
Kaleb: You did. We're even now.
