Josie borrows the prism and decides she'll talk it out with her subconscious. To a surprise, Dark Josie appears before her. She doesn't understand why a dark version of her has appeared. Dark Josie says it's because she knows that something is coming and she needs to embrace her darker self.

Josie says that she would never tap into her dark part and Dark Josie disagrees. Her subconscious tells her that she's been hiding inside her, waiting for the perfect time to break free. But she is just as gullible as ever. Dark Josie is really just her subconscious projection. Josie admits that she does feel something coming but won't practice dark magic and doesn't trust anything her dark self has to say. Though her subconscious tells her to drop the prism and she'll disappear. Josie does and Dark Josie disappears. Her subconscious is practically harmless. She believes the prism to be malfunctioning, but deep down she must want to hear what she has to say. She does know all of her weaknesses and knows how to fix her. Dark Josie tells her that if she really doesn't want to talk to her, all she has to do is just drop the prism. Josie doesn't and they chat.

Her subconscious tells Josie that if she wants to prepare physically, mentally, and magically against the threat coming towards them she needs to embrace the other part of her. Josie doesn't want to hear her opinion about how to practice magic. She asks how to be stronger. Dark Josie answered that she needs to embrace her dark self. The problem is that she's a tribrid and she's not embracing her full potential on her witch part.

Using the prism, she's sure that her subconscious still remembers aramaic. With the page in hand, Dark Josie translates; to the thing that you've faced before will return and be more powerful and cause more destruction physically and mentality. Thee Tribrid who will be known as Hope Mikaelson and her friends will get a form of retribution, chaos, strife, and pain. A new game will begin. Josie stunned knowing who it is and Dark Josie says that she knows what she has to do. Josie refuses her once more, not going to let her dark side take control of her. Josie however doesn't understand. She already lives within her. Josie is about to stop the conversation when her subconscious mentions if she doesn't start listening then maybe she isn't as strong and good as she claims to be. Josie asks what she means by that. If she's so strong and good, why is she so afraid of her own power, she wonders. And if she's so good how could she let her friends die. She explains what black magic actually is. She explains magic is never good or evil. It's what the user intention is with it. She also says that Hope isn't afraid to use and she's strong and good so why is Josie afraid of it. She tells Josie to break the mora miserium and take all that black magic in to boost her power. She tells her to fight off all the evil thoughts and to use the magic for good if she doesn't want to turn dark. Josie goes over and grabs the sandclock and looks at her darker self who nods at her. Dark Josie watches as Josie throws the mora miserium on the ground, breaking it allowing all the dark magic to go inside of her.
