Dance Back from the Grave

Elijah Mikaelson: You may doubt him, but today I saw Niklaus demonstrate mercy towards an enemy. Tell me that's not progress.

Rebekah Mikaelson: Please, Elijah, who do you think convinced Klaus to let Thierry out?

Elijah Mikaelson: Why would you do such a thing?

Rebekah Mikaelson: 'Cause despite Klaus' reprieve, Thierry despises him. I like that about Thierry. I also like that he used to date a witch, so he knows about French Quarter covens. Maybe he could lead me to whoever stole off with the Harvest magic.

Elijah Mikaelson: Rebekah, we are all devastated by the outcome of this ritual.

Rebekah Mikaelson: That's just it. There was no outcome. We both know that power like that doesn't just vanish. I think someone stole it, I'd like to know who, and then I'd like to make an ally out of them.

Elijah Mikaelson: To what end exactly?

Rebekah Mikaelson: I'm tired of being threatened and controlled by our tyrant brother. If you want to stop a bully, you need the power to stand up to them.

Elijah Mikaelson: I expected such behavior from Niklaus. It's so very disappointing when it comes from you, Rebekah. Do you not see that in his way, he is making an effort here? He's invited us back into our family home. He yearns for our family to be reunited.

Rebekah Mikaelson: Yes. He's in a brilliant mood now, but for how long? It's his trick, Elijah. He lulls you into a false sense of camaraderie and kinship, and then he turns on you like a snake. I fall for it every time, and wind up with a dagger in my chest for all my trouble. No more.

Elijah Mikaelson: I believe that He's approaching some semblance of peace here. Leadership may in fact be a good thing for him. Now, sister, please, I ask you, if you cannot support him, then at least do nothing to provoke him.
