- "Hello, is anyone here?" Sonia yelled as she, Eric and Megan entered empty Fangtasia.
The lights were turned on just where the bar was, the rest of the club was dark so they assumed that no one was there.
- "I can bet they are upstairs." Megan told them.
- "Wanna check out?" Eric asked.
- "If you want to piss them off, be my guest." Sonia told him.
Eric just smiled at her and went upstairs, but Natali and Kol weren't there either. The three of them stayed at the club until they didn't show up.
An hour later Kol and Natali were entering Fangtasia and just as they stepped in they've smelled fresh blood, a lot of fresh blood. They've looked alerted not knowing who came into their club, but they were revealed when they spotted their friends in the dark corner of the club.
- "Hey, guys, what are you doing here?" Natali asked as they approached them.
- "We got tired of traveling so we decided to stop by." Sonia replied and smiled at her, "Where have you two been?"
- "We were with the witches." Natali told her.
- "So Kol, you are seducing New Orleans witches again?" Sonia says and glances at him.
- Kol smirks, "Something like that."
- "But I think he lost his charm." Natali stated.
- "Ha. Ha." Kol says, " I'll never lose my charm."
- "If you say so." Natali tells him.

As they've promised to the witches Kol and Natali went to Dowager Fauline mansion that was now an asylum for witches. Some witches that they were working with them a few months ago were trapped there because they've used very dark magic that Natali taught them.
A boundary spell was put on the mansion in 1914 by one of the witches that had an alliance with Klaus. Any witches who would enter the house would be trapped there for eternity. The spell was cast by chanting over the head of porcelain doll, which was propped on the post of the fence in front of the mansion. The only thing Natali needed to do is to siphon the magic from it and the spell would be broken.
Coven of witches that were called The Kindred put themselves in charge inside of the Fauline's asylum. They were alerted when the boundary spell was down and knew that something's up. Before they've prepared themselves to fight Natali burst open the front door giving everyone a chance to escape. The two of them didn't care who will escape and who they kill. They just came for the witches that they knew were still on their side. The Kindred tried to fight, but they were easily killed by Kol while Natali searched for the witches. The witches were under the influence of Lobelia pills and because of them, they were unable to focus and concentrate in order to practice magic.
After every last one of their witches was rescued from the asylum they came back to Fangtasia where others were waiting for them. The witches were happy to see their friends again.
Sometime later Rebekah came into Fangtasia, seeing as she walked in that the witches were practicing magic and when she looked towards the booth where Kol and Natali are usually sitting at she saw Eric with them.
- She walked towards them and asked, "Eric what are you doing here?"
- They all looked towards her when they noticed her, "Well this is awkward." Natali remarked.
- "I know we said we won't see each other anytime soon but I couldn't resist coming back here." Eric told her.
- "You came alone?" Rebekah asked.
- "No. Megan and Sonia came with me." Eric replied.
- Rebekah nodded, "Oh, okay." then she looked at her brother and Natali saying, "I just came to tell you that mother is going to put me into another body."
- "I should have known that you'll be the one who would take her offer." Kol told her.
- "That's the only way I can be human again." Rebekah told him in defense.
- "You will regret it." Natali says.
- Rebekah rolls her eyes, already knowing why Natali thinks she will regret it, "When I'm old and wrinkly, you can dump me back into my old body. Nik already has a coffin he can store me in."
- "So who's body is she gonna put you in?" Natali asked.
- "I don't know. I'm going to see her now and I have a plan to stop her." Rebekah tells then.
- "What plan is that?" Kol asked.
- "I'm gonna give her my blood and when we kill her she will become a vampire, so that means she won't be able to body jump again." Rebekah explained.
- "That's actually a smart plan." Natali stated.
- "And I don't want you two to try and stop me from doing it. I've also convinced Elijah and Nik to let me do what I want. That won't mean I'm on our mother' side." Rebekah tells them when she saw that the two of them glanced at each other she added, "Promise me."
- "Okay. We promise we won't stop you." Natali told her.
- "Thank you." Rebekah smiles.

Esther is getting ready to pour herself and Rebekah some tea while they discuss Esther's offer, but Rebekah just quips, "You can't possibly expect me to discuss giving up eternal life over tea!" before gesturing to the nearby shelf and instructing her to break out the red wine instead, "Give me some of that red over there." Esther just laughs in amusement and does what she's told as Rebekah asks her to give her the sales pitch.
- "I only offer what you already want." Esther begins.
- "And how do you presume to know that?" Rebekah asks.
- Esther breaks down what she knows best about her children, "Elijah's happiest when there's order and music. Klaus, when he's the center of attention and in control. But you are my only child capable of unfettered joy." She hands Rebekah a glass of wine and adds, "And, you're happiest amongst humans. I've seen you yearn for that life. For love."
Esther then conveniently takes her eyes off of Rebekah and as she does so she continues speaking, "Our wishes are aligned in this, my daughter. Mine, to free you from this curse, and yours, to be human."
- "I'd be giving up everything I've ever known for a memory of something I once was." Rebekah replies since Esther would know something is up if she didn't at least argue a little, "Power for weakness. Strength for frailty. Eternal life for a brief human existence."
- Esther squeezes Rebekah's arms affectionately and makes her own closing argument, "The choice is simple - another thousand years of never having what you want, or a handful of years when you do."
Rebekah looks nervous. She glances to the side, before turning back to her mother and taking a deep breath.
- "Well, then. To the end of an era. I'm in." Rebekah says.
Esther was visibly happy, she smiles and places her glass of wine on the table before turning towards a table where she was preparing a spell. Rebekah uses that time to quickly puts a few drops of blood into her mother's glass before Esther again turned towards her.
- She and Rebekah toast their wine glasses before Esther saying, "Let us begin!"
Rebekah looks into her mother's eyes as she takes a long sip, but Esther just brought her glass closer to her mouth before saying loud and clear, "You think you can fool me?"
Rebekah furrows her eyebrows and looks confused at her, then Esther places her glass back on the table and continues speaking while looking at Rebekah, "I know there was your blood in my wine, you want to turn me into a vampire so you can kill me."

Meanwhile, Kol and Natali went to the compound where Klaus and Elijah were and saw that with them there were Davina, Cami and Marcel. The moment they came they've found out that Esther prepared Cami's body to be a vessel for Rebekah. No one liked that, especially Klaus and Natali offered to help them break the spell.
- "Why would you help? You don't care about Cami." Davina says.
- "But I care about Rebekah and I'm sure she wouldn't want to possess a body of Klaus' potential lover and Marcel's ex-lover." Natali tells her, glancing between the three of them and they couldn't say she wasn't right.
- "Unless Marcel would like that, but I think it would be a bit-" Kol spoke and Cami finished, "Awkward?"
- Kol looks at her with a smirk, "I was gonna say kinky."
- Natali chuckles, "Well, let's get started." she says before starting to prepare for the spell she is about to do in order to break Esther spell that made Cami's body a vessel.
REBEKAH'S AND ESTHER'S P.O.V:
Rebekah looks surprised that her mother knew about her plan since she only told her brothers and Natali. She took a step backward and Esther stepped towards her.
- "I don't know what you're talking about." Rebekah says.
- "You're well aware of what I'm talking. It was your plan." Esther tells her.
When Rebekah saw that this isn't going to go as they've planned she tried to run away, but Esther didn't let her, so she snapped her neck.
Esther prepared everything for a spell as well as Natali. But when she started chanting nothing was happening. Her spell was broken and she had no way to put Rebekah into another body, it was too late to find another one that suits her.
NATALI'S AND KOL'S P.O.V:
After she made sure that the spell was broken both of them left to the cemetery to find Rebekah and to see if she managed to get rid of Esther. On a halfway to the tomb where Esther's supposed to be they stumbled upon Rebekah. She was using a vampire speed to run but stopped when she saw them.
- "I.. my plan didn't work out." Rebekah quickly told them.
- "You didn't kill Esther?" Natali asked.
- "No. She somehow knew about the plan." Rebekah told them.
- "I somehow feared that this would happen." Natali stated, "I'll get rid of her don't worry."
- "How?" Rebekah asked.
- Natali turns to Kol and tells him, "Remember those big crystals we have at our playhouse?" Kol nods and she continues, "Bring them here and place them around her tomb."
When Kol and Rebekah left for the crystals Natali walked into Esther's tomb seeing that she was preparing some kind of spell again.
- "You're the one who reversed my spell." Esther remarked as she felt her presence.
- "Yes, I did." Natali tells her stepping closer, "How did you know about Rebekah's plan?"
- Esther turns around to looks at her with a small smile, "I have eyes and ears everywhere."
- "Really?" Natali says, "Maybe you were ready for Rebekah's plan, but you're not ready for mine."
- I'm always a step ahead." Esther assures her.
- Natali shakes her head, "Not this time."
- Esther narrowed her eyes at her, trying to figure out what Natali means by that, "Aren't you tired of living like this for a thousand years?" she asks.
- Natali laughs under her breath, "I know what you're trying to do, but the only person desperate enough to fall for your crap is Rebekah."
- "It's done." Kol says entering the tomb.
- "Kol, what's done?" Esther questions him.
- "We're done with you." Natali says and simply flicks her wrist and snaps Esther's neck with her powers.
The crystals that Kol placed around the tomb were enchanted to block every spirit from leaving that room. So when Natali killed Esther she couldn't jump into another body and later they've returned her soul back to the ancestors' world.

Knowing that the only way for Esther to know about their plan is if one of the witches that were in Fangtasia when Rebekah was speaking about it must be a spy, Kol and Natali headed back there to find out who.
They've called all of them to come to a meeting, but of course, they didn't tell why they were calling them. When all of the witches came Natali secretly used a spell to seal all doors and windows, so no one can try to escape.
- Natali and Kol were standing on the podium and witches were in front of them, "We called you here because we have a spy in this room." Natali spoke looking over every witch, "Whoever was working for Esther know that she's dead now and no one will help you."
- "So who's the traitor?" Kol questioned.
- "They won't tell even if they know." Natali stated, "But because we weren't that loud while we were talking about our plans, only one of the few witches that were sitting in the booths next to us could be a traitor."
Natali watched how witches that were sitting in two booths next to them were acting, she was looking for the one who seemed the most nervous.
- Natali took a step towards them, "One of you told Esther out plans." she stopped in front of the witches and held her hand out, then blew truth dust in their faces, "So which one of you is it?"
- "It was me." A witch said against her will.
- Natali smiles at her, "This was easy." she then grabbed a witch by her throat and pulled her onto the podium, so that everyone could see what happens to the traitors.
- "I knew that this day would come, but I would suggest to everyone else, do not make the same mistakes." Natali told other witches before she began siphoning magic from witches body and witch gasped loudly. Natali's wrist turned red hot and in a matter of seconds, the witch was dead.
