As Klaus continues his search, he finds that the witches who live there are trying to overthrow Marcel and that they plan to use Hayley, who is carrying Klaus' child, in their plans. After Elijah arrives to help and persuades him to stay, Klaus decides return the city to his command with his brother by his side. Rebekah is offered a spot in Klaus' new domain, but she turns them down.
