Later, during a meeting of all the nine coven elders led by Davina in the Lafayette Cemetery, Kara, one of the Ninth Ward Elder, is seen at the meeting held by Davina; before the end of the meeting, she turns to leave. Davina exclaims that she has not dismissed her, in retaliation, Kara uses a spell to fracture Davina's hand and encircle her in fire. A clear message that she is not submitted to Davina regency.
In You Hung the Moon, Davina enters into a deal with Hayley: the werewolf must kill Kara without the blame falling on Davina, who does not want to trigger a civil war in the witch community. That same morning, just before dawn, Hayley goes in the Versailles neighborhood and bites Kara to death and is immediately attacked by a circle of Versailles witches that give her pain infliction; the werewolf starts to slaughters them, driven by unexpected strength. Later in the morning, Marcel shows Davina the result of a mysterious massacre that claimed the lives of twelve witches, dismembered and burned in the public square. Marcel comes to the conclusion that behind the massacre there is Davina and scolds her, saying that now the witches will turn against her. Later, the witches of New Orleans are shown consecrating the bodies of the twelve Versailles witches who were part of the Ninth Ward Coven, massacred and burned in a square of their neighborhood. Van Nguyen, son of Kara, threat Davina saying that he will find out who killed his mother and that he will expose the Regent as the murderer, making her chase away from the city by the Elders.
