In *One Wrong Turn on Bourbon*, Finn receives a package at his current home in Greece and opens it to find out what it is. Upon opening it, he gets sucked into Chambre de Chasse and it's revealed it was created by his daughter, Artemis. She then tells him they have much to talk about. Finn also notes this is the first time he's seen his daughter in five years and questions her about what's going on.

Artemis tells him to find the way out and shows him some of her past memories as he does so, after showing him why she's doing this in the first place. The first memory was Artemis asking her mother, Athena, about her father and how she wishes she could've met him. Artemis then remarks how thinking that and believing her mother's words about him was stupid. The second memory is Artemis finding her uncle Klaus' memoirs and finding out that Finn had tried to kill her and her cousins, Jack and Hope, when they were infants. This prompts her to ask her mother if Finn really did love her at all.

Artemis then tells Finn her feelings of angry about the situation and how it's unlikely she'll ever forgive him. Finn states that he sorry and he didn't believe Artemis to be his biological daughter at the time, but that doesn't excuse his actions or the pain she feels from it. He accepts that Artemis will likely never forgive him and says he loves her. He then find the key and leaves the Chambre de Chasse, returning to his body.

In *We Have Not Long To Love*, Finn walked into the room that Artemis was in with her cousins; Jack, Hope, Jax, Nina, Lily, and Adella. Finn tried to talk to Artemis but she used her magic and threw him against the wall before leaving the room and saying that was a warning. Later Artemis was studying one of her late grandmother's grimoires, in which she noticed a ripped which promoted her to call her Aunt Aria.

Artemis talked with Ariana before mentioned she remember reading that her aunt, Ariana, had cursed Finn in the past. Ariana retorts that she shouldn't talk about this with her and Artemis begs her too. Ariana states that the body Finn is dies for good if he dies in that body. She questions why and Ariana vaguely answers. Ariana then states that she doesn't like the man, but she wants Athena to be happy and that Finn does make her happy and has apologized for what he did.

Artemis then asked how Ariana could forgive him and said that his past actions can't be excused but is nonetheless trying to make up for it. She then states that she knows for a fact that Finn loves Athena and would die for both his wife and his daughter. She then finishes off stating Artemis doesn't have to forgive him, but should give him another chance. Kol then added that he doesn't like his older brother but they now have an understanding. Artemis then ends the call.

Artemis later came over to her father and said that she does still hate him, but she'll let him try and be a father to her. He questions her sudden change of heart towards him and she replies that he treated her like a princess and she looked up to him when she was little and that she has waited for that man, her father, to come back. And then the question of where to begin was asked and had Finn smiling.
