After heading back to the compound, the first thing Ophelia wanted to do was find Klaus. She arrived at his room, only to open the door to find Klaus standing over Elijah's unconscious body, one hand on his elder brother's forehead and the other on his chest. Klaus started to groan in pain and breathe heavily, causing Ophelia to become a bit worried.

"What the hell are you doing, Klaus?" Ophelia asked him concerned as she walked toward him.

Klaus jumped in fright, clearly startled as he turned to face her, still panting for breath. Ophelia frowned, noticing the blood dripping from his nose, "Are you okay?"

"Perfect fine," Klaus assured Ophelia, still panting, "I'm trying to enter Elijah's thoughts to wake him," He informed her as he gestured to Elijah's body, "Esther's locked me out."

Just then, Hayley entered the room, walking past the two and closer to Elijah without a single word said to them. "Is this rash a side effect of the witchy acid-trip he's on?" She asked Klaus as she looked down at the rash on Elijah's neck after pulling down the collar of his shirt to get a better look at it.

Klaus frowned slightly, clearly not noticing the rash before Hayley said something. Hayley backed away from Elijah, standing beside Ophelia as Klaus examined the inflamed skin, "I haven't seen this since I was a child," He informed the two girls, "Mikael would return home from battle more blindly temperamental than usual, and our mother would use the petals of a rare Merlock orchid to put him to sleep. She would mend his men with a spell, and then wake him with the roots of the same plant," He paused, turning his head to look at Ophelia and Hayley, "If she has access to it now, then maybe it also grows in the Bayou."

"It does," Ophelia informed Klaus, causing him to give her a questioning look. He was clearly confused as to how she knew that, "I've used it before myself. It was about fifty years ago, but I used it on one of the vampires Marcel turned when I sent him to the garden. It's a long story, but I do know it has to still grow somewhere in the bayou. I just don't know where."

Klaus nodded his head in understanding, "You two stay with the wolves and mind the fort." He instructed.

As Klaus walked past the two hybrid females to leave, Hayley rolled her eyes in annoyance, "I'd rather rip your mother's head off." She commented, causing Ophelia to smile.

"I second that," Ophelia spoke up, agreeing with her friend.

Klaus didn't find amusement in what they had said and gave them both serious looks, "Stay clear of her. Both of you. I mean it," He warned them, "She already got to the two of you once. What would happen if Elijah were to wake and find you a victim of her madness, Hayley?"

Hayley hesitantly nodded her head, "I won't go after her," She assured him, "I promise."

Klaus was silent for a moment before averting his gaze over to Ophelia, who frowned, "What?" She asked him, acting as if she didn't know that he was waiting for her to agree. She sighed when Klaus' face became even more serious looking, "Fine, fine. I promise I won't go anywhere near you psychotic mother."

"Good," Klaus replied, staring at Ophelia for a moment longer before he left the room.

Ophelia watched him leave and once he was out of sight, she turned to face Hayley, who was looking down at Elijah's body, "So what's the plan?" Hayley asked Ophelia, finally turning her head to look at her.

"I may hate Esther, but in the little time that I've known her, I have learned a few things from her," Ophelia informed her before pausing and Hayley impatiently waited for her to continue, "I promised Klaus I wouldn't go after her and I always keep my word. Instead, I'll go after everything that she loves, which includes..." She trailed off, waiting for Hayley to finish for her.

Hayley's eyes widened in realization, "Finn," She stated and Ophelia nodded.

"Yup," She replied, "Let's go. We have a plan to create."

Hayley smiled, just before following Ophelia out of the bedroom.

Before heading to Marcel's loft, Ophelia and Hayley headed to the Bayou, where Jackson was having a funeral for Oliver all by his lone self. It was dawn and the sun was barely out.

They found Jackson, sitting on the dock, drinking from a glass bottle of whiskey. Ophelia and Hayley shared a glance with each other before walking down the dock, over to Jackson.

"I'm so sorry, Jack," Ophelia spoke up quietly, a sad look on her face, "We both are."

"No, this is bull, Ophelia," Jackson complained as he stood up, turning to face Ophelia and Hayley, "Crescent tradition says you have a funeral at dawn, and no one is here. That loyalty...Loyalty's gone."

Ophelia sighed in defeat as Jackson walked past her. Knowing Ophelia wasn't going to speak up, Hayley decided to do it instead, "We're standing around here moping over Ollie's boy when there's a war to be fought," She commented, "Ophelia and I understand that you have to grieve, Jackson. You waited for her, she and I will do the same for you. But our people need their alpha."

Ophelia lightly snatched the bottle of whiskey from Jackson's hand. She placed her hand on his shoulder as she looked up at him, giving him a sympathetic look. She gestured for Hayley to follow, just before walking off the dock.

After getting Aiden to meet with them, Ophelia, Aiden, and Hayley walked into Marcel's loft, where Marcel was sitting on one of his couches in the main room, "Where is your Alpha?" He asked as soon as he noticed the group.

Ophelia sighed, both she and Hayley sharing a glance with each other, "Unavailable," She replied annoyed.

"So, you brought Junior Varsity?" Marcel asked, slightly amused, "You know, Ophelia, I'm getting a little tired of you and Hayley using my place as a den for wayward wolves."

"Is this place really yours, Marcel?" Ophelia questioned the vampire, who was quick to shut up, "Last time I checked, I bought this place a couple decades ago with my own money. I've just been letting you live here since it would be going to waste," She paused, letting out a large sigh as she shrugged her shoulders, "Anyways, we came here because we're going after Finn today and we thought you'd maybe want in on the fun."

Marcel leaned forward, clearly interested as he placed the book he had in his lap down on the coffee table. "I'm listening."

Hayley and Aiden took a seat on the couch across from Marcel while Ophelia continued to stand, "Well," Aiden paused, clearing his throat, "It's not going to be easy. He's surrounded by a pack of juiced-up wolves. He doesn't have a weakness." he explained.

"He does, actually," Marcel informed them as he pulled out his phone, causing Ophelia to give him a questioning look, "And I have her on speed dial."

Hayley, Ophelia, and Aiden stared at him in confusion, forcing Marcel to elaborate, "He's got a thing for Cami," he told them and Ophelia nodded her head in understanding.

Hayley began to give Marcel a concerned look, "Klaus will go ballistic if we get Cami involved in this." She commented.

Marcel jokingly glanced around, "Well, Klaus ain't here," he replied, causing Ophelia to smile and shake her head, "And Cami, well, she's got this thing about people telling her what she can and can't do."

"Reminds me of a certain someone," Hayley muttered quietly, referring to Ophelia, who rolled her eyes after hearing her remark.

"I wouldn't be talking, Hayley," Ophelia retorted with an attitude, "You're just as bad."

Marcel smiled at them in amusement as he placed the phone to his ear.

Soon after, Marcel had called Cami, Josh arrived and the group all sat together in Marcel's loft as Aiden placed a map down on the coffee table, "Cami said Vincent wants to meet at Preservation Hall. But, he won't be unprotected," He explained to the group, pointing to various spots on the map, "There will be wolves positioned here and there."

Ophelia watched closely as Marcel pointed to another spot on the map, "Can we keep this alley open?" he asked him curiously.

Aiden nodded his head in response and Hayley immediately spoke up, "Alright. I'll wait there and rip Vincent's head off."

"As much as I love that idea," Ophelia paused, letting out a sigh, "He'll just body jumped. "

Just then, Cami entered the loft with a large box from Kieran's old apartment. Without her even being close to the box, Ophelia could almost feel the magic radiating off objects in it, "Vincent's head stays on. He'll have a hard time answering questions without it."

Cami walked over and placed the box down on the table in front of the group. Everyone began to look through the box while Ophelia cautiously walked over to it to find it filled with dark objects. She recognized most of them as the ones Kol had made with two witches in 1914, one of which happened to be of the Claire family, an ancestor of Davina and a distant relative of Ophelia.

"Sweet, its a big box of dusty old junk," Josh sarcastically commented, "We're saved."

Ophelia couldn't help but smiled as a smile grew on Aiden's face, clearly finding the boy's comment funny. Ophelia knew for a fact something was going on between the two of them and she was all for it.

"They're dark objects my uncle left for me. I've been cataloging them according to Kieran's notes. As far as I can tell..." She trailed off, pointing to the objects, "These can be used against witches specifically."

Ophelia finally reached her hands into the box and pulled out an old pair of shackles on a large iron chain, "Kinky." Hayley commented, causing Ophelia to smile slightly as she playfully rolled her eyes.

"Ah, I remember these," Marcel spoke up, sharing a glance with Ophelia, "Don't you, Lia? A hundred years ago, the Human faction waged a war against the Voodoo Queens. They had a traitor spell these manacles. Slap 'em on a witch, they can't do magic as long as they're on." He paused, grabbing the shackles from her hands, "So let's keep these away from you, okay?"

"Don't have to tell me twice," Ophelia muttered quietly, gladly allowing him to take them from her.

"Alright, well, we're not going to get the handcuffs of doom on him while he's surrounded by a werewolf entourage," Josh commented and Aiden immediately looked up at him.

"I can do that." He proposed and Hayley immediately looked over at Cami.

"Cami, if we do this, you're the bait," She reminded the blonde human, "Are you sure you're okay with that?"

The whole group turned to the blonde while she looked at them all nervously. After a moment, she shook the feeling off and responded with, "Make it look convincing. The guy's really smart."

Soon enough, the plan was all set, which included Cami meeting Finn at the Preservation Hall to act as though they were on a real date. During the date, Ophelia would call Cami, forcing her to take the call outside. While doing so, Hayley would come up behind her and bite her on the neck to make the attack look more real. When Finn made it outside and saw Cami's body, Ophelia would grab Cami and vamp speed her to St. Anne's Church. While doing so, Aiden would convince the Mikaelson brother that he had no idea about the attack on Cami, which would force Finn to search for Cami on his own.

After enacting that part of the plan, Aiden hung up on Finn and turned to Hayley and Ophelia, who sat with Cami, making his way over to them, "Well, he bought it," He informed the group, "His locator spell will bring him here without the bodyguards."

Just as Hayley was about to feed Cami her blood, Ophelia spoke up, "No need for that," She said, causing Hayley to give her a confused look, "Well, we don't want her accidentally being turned into a vampire now, do we?"

She sighed out, lifting up her hand and placing it just above the wound on Cami's neck. She closed her eyes, taking a deep breath before muttering a quick incantation.

Hayley watched in shock as Cami's wound instantly healed. Ophelia opened her eyes and removed her hand from Cami's neck. Cami's eyes widened as she ran her fingers over the place that used to have a bite wound, "I will never get used to that," She muttered under her breath before turning to Hayley, "Honestly, I always thought having a woman's mouth on my neck would be more erotic."

Ophelia quietly chuckled before looking up at Josh and Aiden, "Let's get all these lights off, alright?" She ordered and the whole group immediately obeyed her.

"Okay, tell me the plan one more time," Cami told Hayley and Ophelia after Josh and Aiden walked off to kill all the lights.

"Aiden's gonna get Vincent to the altar and then Ophelia and I are going to jump him," Hayley explained to Cami, "He's powerful though, so we only have a few seconds to get the shackles on him."

"Where's Marcel?" Cami asked Ophelia concerned.

"I had him go look for Davina," Ophelia replied with a sigh, "She's back in town and I don't really trust that Kol's keeping her out of the trouble. I believe that he's doing quite the opposite."

"Overprotective parents stuff, I see," Cami commented.

"If you want to call ripping Kol Mikaelson into a thousand little pieces protective parents stuff then, yeah, that's it," Hayley replied, causing Cami to chuckle.

Meanwhile later, after Aiden went outside to meet with Finn, the doors flew open soon after and Aiden was thrown in, unconscious.

Worried for his well being, Josh vamp-rushed to his aid, only to turn his head to see Finn entering with a grin on his face.

He extended his arms around, allowing all the candles to light. The flames on the candles flared up before going back to normal as he lowered his arm.

Josh slowly stood up from the ground, facing Finn. Finn twisted his hand, breaking Josh's neck. As Josh dropped to the ground, Finn looked around for Cami, "Camille? Camille!" he called out loudly.

Just then, Ophelia vamp sped over to Finn, tackling him to the ground. After she stood up, Hayley appeared beside her, "First we're gonna kick your ass, and then I'm going to take my pack back," She growled at Finn.

"Your pack?" Finn asked her amused, "Last I checked, your pack was blindly following me."

"Wanna talk to us about following?" Hayley questioned Finn with an attitude, "How do your mother's boots taste?"

Hayley kicked her foot upwards, kicking Vincent in the face. As he fell to the ground, Ophelia thrusted her hand forward, about to cast a spell on him. She tried, but found herself unable to, "What the hell?" She muttered under her breath as she frowned in confusion.

She thrusted her hand forward once more, finding herself unable to do magic.

"Can't use magic?" Finn questioned Ophelia with a grin on his face, "Tell me what you did you with Cami and maybe I'll help you get it back."

"Go to hell," Ophelia growled at him, only to have Finn suddenly use his magic to throw both females backward.

Ophelia gasped as she quickly sat up, shocked at how he was able to overpower her easily since she didn't have her usual upper hand of magic, "Hybrids die by losing their head or their heart. Without your magic, you won't be able to fight back as easily," Finn explained as he stood up, "I think that given the choice, I'm going to take the organ that got the two of you into this mess in the first place."

"Le specto tre colo ves bestia! Le specto tre colo ves bestia!" Finn chanted angrily.

Suddenly, both Ophelia and Hayley clutched their chests as they started to spit up blood. Ophelia looked down at the white shirt she was wearing to see the front of it now had a bloody stain of where he was starting to rip out her heart.

Out of nowhere, an arrow pierced Finn through his shoulder from behind, and he screamed out in pain. He turned to see Jackson, with Ansel's bow and quiver of arrows in hand, jumping down from the balcony. He shot another arrow into Finn's thigh, causing Finn to crawl up to the sacristy to get away from them.

Before Finn could react further, a healed Cami appeared and slammed the manacles onto his wrists. He gaped at her, clearly feeling betrayed by her role in this plan. He tried to fight against her with magic, but the manacles were blocking him.

"You would have done the same thing to me, Finn," Cami told Finn, who was completely stunned as he stared down at his hands, trying to process what had happened.

After dealing with Finn, Cami rushed over to Hayley to make sure she was okay while Jackson rushed over to Ophelia to check o her, "Are you okay?" He asked her worriedly as he brushed her hair off her face with his hand, "I'm so sorry I made you wait. I shouldn't have done that."

"No," Ophelia argued, placing a hand on the side of Jackson's face, "Your time was awesome," she told him as she laughed in relief, which caused Jackson to laugh also.

Jackson helped Ophelia stand up before she walked over to Finn. Without saying a single word, she dug her hand into his jacket pocket, finding a clay doll, "I should've known," She commented, realizing that the same thing that had happened to her three hundred years ago had happened again.

Ophelia dropped the claw doll to the ground, just before stomping on it with her boot so hard that it shattered. She closed her eyes, letting out a breath of relief as the magic returned back to her, "You idiot, the plan with the clay down didn't work with the French Quarter coven three centuries ago when they tried to take my magic, what made you think it would work now when I'm stronger than ever?"

Ophelia let out a scoff, just before walking away from Finn.

Several moments later, after everyone else had left, Ophelia entered St Anne's church to find Jackson lighting candles in the church, "We put Finn in the back of Josh's car," She informed Jackson as she walked over to him, "They're taking him back to the compound."

"Is Aiden all right?" Jackson asked her concerned, not quite looking her in the eye.

"I think after putting some ice on his head and a glass of bourbon, he'll be totally fine," Ophelia jokingly replied, a smile on her face, "Jackson, how did you know where to find us?"

"While stuck in wolf form after I triggered my curse, I found myself drawn to you. It was easy to track you," Jackson admitted, "Call it animal instinct."

Jackson walked past Ophelia as he walked past her, "Jackson," She called out and Jackson turned to her.

"You know, I never told you this, but for the past two centuries, the wolves of the bayou hoped that the day you came to join the pack again, you would agree to marry a member of my family. Hayley was the next in line to marry me after you. Ollie used to give me so much hell for it, but I waited for you," He explained to her, "I mean, girls came and went, but I've never met any quite like you, Ophelia. You see, the pack, they were so sure that together you and I could change things for the better."

"Jack, the girl the pack was waiting for was Ophelia Labonair, the daughter of Diana Labonair. Me? I'm Ophelia Rose, the first ever tribrid and queen of New Orleans. The same queen that happens to have poor taste in men." She explained, "I'm sorry, but I'm not the same girl you were waiting for."

"No, you aren't," Jackson replied, "You're better." He smiled slightly at Ophelia before leaving, off to go back to the Bayou.
