Damon: And of course it's empty. Great job, you stupid witches.

And back at Klaus Haus...

Rebekah: Don't mind me. Now, I'm renovating. *Throws vase*

Vase: *Shatters*

Klaus: I just want us to be a big, happy family, you know, like we apparently never were.

Elijah: Don't worry. None of us will be alone, again, Klaus. Do you hear my italics-of-exclusion, when I said us?

Finn: You're staying behind, to ponder how my English is so perfect, even though, when you daggered me, it did not exist in its current form.

Rebekah: We're leaving you, Nik, as soon as I kill your wet nurse, to ensure you'll be alone -- always and forever, or at least until someone else from that damnable Petrova line pops out a doppelganger.

Klaus: If you run, I will hunt you all down.

Elijah: Then you'll become everything you hate -- our father. Notice my italics-of-exclusion around our?

Klaus: I'm the hybrid. I'm the hybrid. I'm the hybrid. I'm not scared of you.

Elijah: You will be, when we have that coffin.

Elijah: *Snivel*

Front Door: Someone is opening me.

Eloise Hawking, the Maybe not so Original Witch: *Strides in*

Rebekah: Mother!

Klaus: Hrrufferrumph hrrufurrrumph.

Eloise Hawking: Look at me. Do you know why I'm here?

Klaus: To kill me?

Eloise Hawking: Niklaus, you are my son, and I am here to forgive you, and to show off my mad Modern English skills, too.

Finn: Like mother, like son.

Klaus: ???!!!???

Eloise Hawking: *Gives the hairy eyeball to the rest of her spawn* I want us to be a family again.

Audience: That cannot be good.

Daniel Faraday: You're telling me.

And yeah, here's where I should insert some commentary, I suppose, but I can't. This episode really broke me, y'all, so I'm making a hasty retreat. Please grade the episode at the top of the page, and then come join us in the forum, where it's always a family affair.
