    • Quotes

      Freya Mikaelson: Hayley is gone? You need to get her and the baby back here. Immediately.

      Elijah Mikaelson: When Dahlia has been defeated. For now they are safe.

      Freya Mikaelson: [starts preparing ingredients] Nowhere is safe from Dahlia. And you will have no chance of ending her without that baby.

      Elijah Mikaelson: What are you saying?

      Freya Mikaelson: Dahlia is protected by a powerful magic. We have collected items that represent her vulnerabilities: sacred soil, the ash of a fallen Viking... and the blood of the witch who broke her heart.

      Elijah Mikaelson: Yours.

      Freya Mikaelson: Yes. I will use these ingredients to create a killing ground... where Dahlia will be rendered mortal. But... we need to lure her there, Elijah.

      Elijah Mikaelson: Are you suggesting... that I position my niece as bait?

      [Freya looks up]

      Elijah Mikaelson: Oh, how wonderfully convenient... to offer this strategy when Niklaus... has been removed.

      Freya Mikaelson: Klaus could not be reasoned with.

      Elijah Mikaelson: You can't honestly believe that I will allow you to do this.

      Freya Mikaelson: What I believe is that you will make the right choice. For Hope. There is no other way to keep her from the miserable existence I endured. One of slavery under a tyrant.

      Elijah Mikaelson: Of course, if Dahlia... does die, you will also be free of that tyranny. No more running, no more hiding. So do not insult my intelligence by painting your actions as selfless.

      Freya Mikaelson: If you will not bring Hayley back here... I will find Hope myself. As I said... there is no other way!
