## Plot

King Arthur tells his children’s caretaker and tells her to take the kids and flee Runne. Alice is worried about the prophecy being fulfilled regarding the destroyer of worlds but King Arthur tells her that it doesn’t exist and to relocate to earth with the children. He goes to his children and tells them that he loves them before bowing his head in respect. Alice looks at her fake documents and leaves with the children.

They run towards Rachela Ventura who uses her powers to send Alice, Simone, Zoie, and Kira to earth. For weeks, Alice lived in a homeless shelter with the children without a job in fear that the kids would reveal their powers to someone while out of her sight. A year after arriving to earth, Alice and the children meet a man by the name of Levi at the park in New York. He reveals that the king left the money for them and apologized for bringing the money late. Alice discovers that the cash contained an address that becomes the home for her and the children and rejoices after realizing that King Arthur had been prepared. They later move into their townhome located in New York.

Years pass and they live their lives normally but Kira (aged 5) makes it known that she can read minds confirming to Alice that she was the first to have her powers. Alice demands that Kira not tell anyone to which Kira understands. Kira’s powers grow leaving Alice no choice but to secretly train her to control her powers.

Alice trained Kira in combat as well as taught her to control her powers of creating force fields, cloning, and telepathy. Kira was in complete control of her powers by the age of 7. One night, Alice tells the children goodnight and enters Zoie’s room but is shocked and scared when she sees Zoie’s eyes are black through the mirror.

Zoie (aged 9) turns around after Alice calls her name but looks normal. Afraid, Alice says goodnight and retreats to her bedroom worried. Kira heard Alice’s thoughts which makes it hard for her to sleep. She enters Zoie’s room to attempt to read her mind only to hear the sounds of destruction. Scared, she runs to her room and hides with her behavior changing.

Years later, the sisters grow apart and Alice’s health declines due to cancer. Kira sits at Alice’s death bed and the two speak with Alice telling her how proud she is of them. She reveals that there’s money in a bank account left for all of them with Simone’s side being her college fund. Alice passes away peacefully. Simone and Zoie return home to see Kira sitting at the bed, holding Alice’s hand, and crying.

Simone freezes realizing that Alice was dead but Zoie doesn’t believe it. She demands that Alice get up before crying and begging for her to stay stating that she isn’t prepared for her to leave. Prepared for the moment, Kira and Simone tells Zoie to let her Rest In Peace. The sisters hold hands as they realize that they’re now alone in the world. Alice’s funeral is arranged and anonymously paid for. Afterwards, Simone leaves for college. Kira leaves for basic training in the military, and Zoie leaves the home to move in with her boyfriend.

Three years later, Zoie Mikaelson sits in the car outside of a hotel. In room 226, Chris (Zoie’s boyfriend) is cheating with Phoebe (Zoie’s best friend). She recalls meeting Phoebe a day after Alice’s funeral while also revealing that she had begun hearing voices in her head but never told anyone yet the voices stopped at the age of 17. On her 20th birthday, she begun to move objects with her mind and decided to train herself on controlling her powers in secret.

As she watches Chris give Phoebe roses, Zoie recalls a memory between the two where Phoebe shows up with the promise ring that Chris had given to her, Zoie is confused and wonders how her ring was found in Phoebe’s car, she asks to hang out but Phoebe declines stating that her fiancé keeps her busy, Chris asks Phoebe if her fiancé is fine with her never wearing her engagement ring and Phoebe responds saying that they aren’t married yet. Returning to the present, Zoie stares at a ring identical to the one that Chris had given her seemingly confirming that Chris and Phoebe were secretly engaged.

After watching the room from afar for hours, Zoie enters the hotel room and catches them in the act. Zoie notices a speaker in the room as static begins to pick up from the object. Upset, Phoebe and Chris begin to apologize but Zoie doesn’t react to their apologies due to the voices making their return in her head. Phoebe recalls meeting Zoie, revealing that Zoie had been a very kind woman who was afraid of loneliness. Chris walks to Phoebe and begins to comfort her angering Zoie even more.

Phoebe rushes forward and begs for forgiveness stating that she doesn’t want to lose Zoie to which Zoie responds that Phoebe is going to lose her life. Angrily, Zoie uses telekinesis to snap Phoebe’s neck leaving Chris in shock and panic. Chris grabs a gun from his pocket and attempts to shoot Zoie but is overpowered by Zoie’s ability of puppetry. She makes Chris shoot himself in the head. The sound of the static from the speaker stops as Put Your Head On My Shoulder plays. Zoie walks over and lays her head onto Chris’ shoulder.

The following day, Zoie sits in the bathtub with a cigar and builds the courage to contact her youngest sister, Kira Mikaelson whom she has not spoken to for three years. They discuss their mother’s parenting but Kira is more concerned as to why Zoie has contacted her. Realizing that she’s truly lonely, Zoie silently cries as she catches up with Kira. Kira ends the call and realizes that something was wrong.

It is revealed that she is a colonel in the army. Kira recalls the night that she attempted to read Zoie’s mind confirming that she sensed great danger from Zoie which made her flee from the home and towards the military. Kira used her powers in secret while during the fights in the military. Her thoughts are cut off by Liara Morgan entering the room. Liara is concerned about Kira but Kira pushes her friend away. Disappointed, Liara leaves as Kira picks up her phone to call Simone.

Simone Mikaelson arrives in New York for the first time in three years. She recalls leaving New York the day after Alice’s funeral because she couldn’t take being there knowing that Alice was not there. She became a student at the University of Pittsburgh and had been working on becoming a doctor. After receiving Kira’s phone call, Simone was left with no choice but to rush back home.

She arrives at the home nervously and runs into Levi who she doesn’t remember. He tells her that Alice knew that they’d leave so she gave him the position of the landlord of the home where he had been taking care of the home since they all had moved out. Simone thanks him and enters the home. She walks into each room to see that everything still looks the same.

As she steps into Alice’s room, Kira makes her appearance known and the two reunite stating that they’ve missed one another. Simone asks what’s the issue and Kira tells her that something is off about Zoie but Simone views it as Zoie being herself. Realizing that Simone wouldn’t understand because she wasn’t aware of their powers, Kira tells her that she is trusting her gut and that they should pay Zoie a visit.

Meanwhile, Zoie is called to the police station after the bodies of Chris and Phoebe were discovered. Detective Barnes is already suspicious of Zoie and begins to question her. Zoie pretends to be upset and lies. She tells the detective that she was suspicious of Chris and Phoebe’s relationship but had nothing to do with their deaths. Detective Barnes is still not impressed and begins to question her more.

Zoie gets fed up and reveals that she knows Detective Barnes thinks of her as the suspect. Detective Barnes urges Zoie to tell the truth but Zoie continues to lie by claiming Chris murdered Phoebe before committing suicide. Zoie reveals that she is controlling everyone in the station and has shut off all video and audio surveillance. She begins to control Detective Barnes and demands that he ends the case confirming that she killed Chris and Phoebe. Under Zoie’s mind control, Detective Barnes agrees and Zoie leaves the building erasing everyone’s memories of her.

The next day, Zoie is sitting in her apartment in a trance. Kira and Simone shows up to Zoie’s apartment. Kira breaks into Zoie’s apartment by unlocking the door with telekinesis proving that she had powers too shocking Simone. Kira and Simone snap Zoie out of her trance and Kira tells Zoie that she knows she killed Chris and Phoebe. Zoie denies it but Kira tells her that she knows because Zoie is thinking about the moment she murdered them.

Now understanding that Kira had powers like herself, Zoie asks Kira how long she’s had her powers. Kira claims to know nothing which upsets Zoie leaving Simone even more confused. Upset, Zoie begins to make the television turn on and Simone’s phone begins to lag. Static is heard and the radio app pops up on her phone before Tonight You Belong To Me is heard from the speaker. Zoie blocks Kira’s airways stopping her from breathing but Kira uses her power of telekinesis to push Zoie away.

Kira confesses to knowing about her powers since she was five but was told by their mother to never tell anyone including them. Kira asks Zoie how she killed Chris and Phoebe. Zoie confirms that she killed them comparing it to ecstasy. She tells them that she enjoys the blood and sounds of screams. Disappointed but also afraid, Kira calls Zoie a murderer and tells her that what she did wasn’t okay.

She reveals that Alice told her that they were all special and asks that they now protect one another but Zoie doesn’t want to protect anyone but herself stating that they shouldn’t pretend that they care about each other. Kira realizes that Simone will have powers to which Simone calls them crazy.

Later, all three sisters are sitting in a restaurant and discussing the possibility of Simone having powers. Kira reveals that their mother had powers and could turn herself invisible. Zoie feels the urge to kill again and watches the male worker. Kira reads the man’s mind and tells Simone that he’s thinking about what he did the previous night. She says that the man sexually assaulted someone causing Zoie to be even more interested in the man.

Zoie greets the man and learns his name is Evan. The two begin to flirt before exchanging numbers and agreeing to meet for a date. Kira attempts to read Zoie’s mind but learns that she can no longer do so. They leave the restaurant and begin to search for clues about the exact source of their powers. Zoie shows Kira and Simone the rest of their mothers belongings. They find two books but find nothing but the words prophecy, the great one, the supreme one, and the chosen one. Kira and Simone worry that Zoie has lost her humanity but Zoie leaves confirming that she had a date.

That night, Evan is running and hides under his bed. The two met up at his apartment for the date because Evan wanted to sleep with Zoie. He recalls inviting her inside his apartment, eating pizza, and talking to her before kissing her and opening his eyes to see her staring at him with black eyes.

Returning to the present, Evan watches as Zoie creepily enters the bedroom and warns him to not scream. She looks under the bed and finds Evan before apologizing. Evan asks Zoie why she is doing what she’s doing but she ignores him. She pulls him from under the bed and uses telekinesis to bring all knives from the kitchen and stabs him. Declaring that he is a rapist, Zoie watches the life leave Evan’s body.

She returns home and Kira notices the blood on Zoie. Kira tells Zoie that she will get caught for killing innocent people. Zoie tells her that she does not kill innocent people. Simone agrees with Kira. Upset, Zoie prepares to attack Simone but decides against it and leaves.

The next day, Zoie finds herself in a garden. She’s happy to learn that she no longer feels the urge to kill or hears the voices in her head. She meets a woman but the woman is more concerned about Zoie. After revealing her name to the woman, the unknown woman rushes towards Zoie saying that something was true and that there was another out there. Confused, Zoie asks the woman who she is but the woman is more shocked at the fact that Zoie isn’t afraid. The woman tells her that she will find out soon and demands that Zoie wake up.

Suddenly, Zoie wakes up and finds herself in her bedroom. She goes to Simone and Kira and tells them about her dream. Frustrated by the voices in her head, Zoie yells for the voices to shut up and get out of her head. Simone and Kira are confused but Zoie asks them to keep her distracted. Kira answers that her powers are telekinesis, the ability to create force fields and telepathy. Zoie finally opens up a bit and tell them that she has telekinesis and master puppetry as powers but hears voices in her head so she doesn’t know much about what her power is.

Simone looks into Zoie’s eyes and realizes that the Zoie she grew up with was still there but needed help getting back to her old self. Zoie cries and says that she hates that she enjoyed killing. Simone takes the opportunity to try and speak to a now vulnerable Zoie. Zoie returns to her evil self and grabs Simone by the neck and tells her that she shouldn’t try being the big sister after she left during her time in need. She drops Simone and leaves the apartment. Now angry, Simone urges Kira to stop Zoie.

Kira walks the streets of New York to find Zoie and is shocked to see most of the buildings in the area had no electricity and people were running. She notices that the wind had picked up and runs into someone who tells her that she’s going the wrong way. Zoie stands in the street and listens to the voices in her head as they get louder. Kira arrives and tells Zoie that she has now put all of them in danger by revealing her powers to the world. Zoie ignores Kira’s warning and tosses a car toward Kira but Kira uses her powers to stop it. Kira uses her powers to bind Zoie causing her to freeze but is soon overpowered by Zoie. Zoie forces Kira to stop breathing but Kira uses telekinesis to push Zoie away from her.

Zoie attempts to kill Kira but Kira begins to make Zoie hallucinate by showing Chris and Phoebe. Simone arrives but is pushed back by Kira. Upset that Kira played with her mind, Zoie prepares to attack Kira once again by saying that she has crossed her and will reap what she sows. Simone arrives but Kira pushes her away and creates a force field around the small area to protect the rest of New York leaving a few residents in hiding, Zoie, and herself in the middle of the force field. Kira demands that Zoie stops but Zoie begins to take the energy from the force field and prepares to use it as an attack on Kira.

Simone panics and accidentally teleports herself into the force field confirming that her powers had finally arrived. Zoie has a mental breakdown due to the voices in her head and releases the energy into the force field hitting everyone inside. Kira drops the field and runs to Zoie before hugging her. She’s happy to see that Zoie looks like herself again.

Zoie apologizes as they hug stating that she didn’t mean for any of the issues to happen. Simone joins and the sisters celebrate the arrival of Simone’s powers. People that were hiding in buildings begin to come out of hiding but are now showing changing. Simone asks what’s happening. Kira confirms that the energy Zoie released in the force field must’ve reached the people who hid in the buildings within the field.

She realizes that they are no longer the only people on Earth with powers since Zoie has accidentally created Superhumans. Zoie watches as everyone panics but says nothing as she believes that she has returned to normal since she could no longer hear voices in her head. As a woman screams, static from the radio of one of the cars could be heard and Mr Sandman plays. Zoie hears a single voice in her head singing along to the song with the lyric “bring me a dream” but she smiles confirming that the dark side of her remained.

## Trivia

• Simone is the last to get her powers.

• The static is due to Zoie tuning the radio as she thinks of a song to play so her victims can hear. This is because she enjoys music.

• Kira is aware that the radio static is a warning from Zoie herself.

• Mr. Sandman’s lyrics hints at Sebastian Morningstar’s book, Don’t Go To Sleep.

• Since Kira left without permission in the Army, she is considered AWOL.
