"In all my travels, France never disappoints. Now I find I'm physically drawn to the place, as if locked in an orbit I'm helpless to alter. I suppose we're all satellites orbiting those we love. Recently, though, I'm left to orbit from afar, and to pass the time by dropping in on old acquaintances. Entres nous, in , the Gatineaux family and I had a little falling out. I'd really like to put that to rest. So if you'll just... stand aside? You must've heard of me. Klaus le Fou? Klaus le Dement? Niklaus der Morder? No? Nothing?"

The bouncers heart gets ripped out. Caroline holds it up."I was gone a week and already threatening the tourists."

"Hello Love." All the frightening people waiting in line looked at him. He took a bite out of the heart she was holding before spitting it out."I myself Prefer Klaus the mad and this is my beautiful wife. Do spread the word."

Hayley, Freya, Josh and Vincent were in Rouseau's dealing with Martigras prep."Okay so we should probably get back to Mardi Gras prep."

Josh looked at Vincent."Oh, come on, Vincent, we got this. All right? It's gone off without a hitch for, what, seven years now?"

"Josh, that's because we haven't taken it for granted in seven years. Let me remind you: moments of prosperity are invariably followed by times of great pain, unless we remain vigilant."

Freya raised her glass."Thank you Mr.Buzzkill"

"Okay, Freya, what you gotm Mardi Gras Prep." Vincent asked.

"The witches will be working on their float in the city of the dead."

Josh looked up from his phone to Vincent"Yeah. Uh, actually, maybe we should offer them some sort of incentive."

Hayley looked at him."Seven years of peace and prosperity not enough?
