Long ago, Aurora and Klaus were very much in love. Once she found out he was a vampire, she desperately wanted to become one. The two share their deepest, darkest pains and secrets. Aurora talks about killing her mother during child birth, which makes her an abomination. Klaus then reveals that he killed his mother, and no one knows. They vow to never speak of their crimes again.
Later, a depressed Aurora tries to kill herself after Tristan bans her from seeing Klaus. Rebekah arrives and gives her blood to heal. She scolds Aurora about being so foolish. Once Rebekah leaves, Aurora kills herself again to become a vampire. Klaus and Aurora’s passion grows. However, the Mikaelson family needs to flee because people are on to them. Aurora wants to go with them, but Elijah forbids her. She then brags about knowing Nik better than him. He compels her (using it for the first time) to tell him Klaus’s secret. After hearing it, he compels her to tell Klaus that she sees him as a monster. She does this and breaks Klaus’s heart.
Angry about Elijah’s betrayal, and egged on by Aurora, Klaus confronts him. The brothers engage in a knock down drag out fight. Klaus even bites Elijah to infect him with wolf’s venom.
The witches have a festival. They must bring Davina presents, so she invites Jackson and Hayley to be her body guards. Hayley gives Davina some advice to stop trying to be like the other Regents and be herself. This works out because she escapes an near career destroying moment: Van tries to use a voodoo doll to expose her involvement in his mom’s murder. Davina tries to appeal to his loyalty to the coven to get him to stop his quest against her. He leaves without accepting her offer. Later, Davina thanks Hayley for her advice by releasing her from her fear. She lifts the curse, and now Hayley doesn’t need a candle to stay human.
Meanwhile, Vincent and Cami follow Lucien. He gets annoyed by it, and grabs Cami. He then kills a man, like the serial killer. After the latest murder, Kinney starts to suspect Cami might be the serial killer. When he sees her secret room of dark magic, he arrests her.
