==Throughout The Originals Series==
===Season Three===
In For the Next Millennium, Kara 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.
In You Hung the Moon, Kara is assassinated in front of her café by Hayley who made a deal with Davina to free her from the curse. Her body (along with 11 other witches) are found the next day. A young man, Van, inquires about his mother and breaks down, realizing his mother is among the bodies. Her son is later seen mourning to her body at the cemetery.
In Wild at Heart, she appears before Davina and Kol on the Ancestral Plane and attacks them in retaliation to her death. She is then telekinetically pushed away and banished to an unknown part of the dimension by Ariane as they escape.
In Where Nothing Stays Buried, she appears along with other Ancestors in front of a recently deceased Davina, stuck in the Ancestral Plane. Kara had planned to use a magical stone called "La Gemme Vital" to shred Davina's soul as the ultimate punishment. Kara starts chanting, holding the stone in front of the young witch, and the symbol on the stone starts to replicate with a cut on Davina's forehead. The spell is interrupted by Freya Mikaelson, who calls back Davina's soul to the mortal plane and places her in a protective circle at the Abattoir. When the Mikaelson witch realizes that she can use Davina as bait to channel the Ancestors, she channels her to steal Ancestral Magic which ultimately sends her back to the Ancestral Plane. Kara and a group of spirits appear around them, reprising the curse where it was stopped. As Freya channels Davina, bolts of blue lights appear from their chests, coalescing at Davina. Kara, at this point, finishes carving the symbol on Davina's forehead by pointing the Gemme Vital towards her, shredding her soul as the young witch screams in extreme pain.
