Davina's powers begin taking a greater and greater toll on her. Soon after arriving back at the compound, she finds herself coughing up dirt. Soon after that, earthquakes shake the city of New Orleans. Desperate for answers, Rebekah turns to Sophie. Because the Harvest ritual is incomplete, Davina now possesses the power of three witches, along with her own power. These four symbolize the elements: earth, wind, water and fire. As Davina deteriorates, they will manifest as forces of supernatural destruction, one after the other, with each wave greater than the one that preceded it.
Sophie manages to convince the siblings that Davina must be sacrificed in order to save both her and the city. She and the other sacrificed girls will be resurrected, so it's not she'll be killed for real. Klaus, Rebekah and Elijah all agree to deliver Davina to the witches, but Marcel, desperate to protect his charge, abducts her from the compound. While the sibs search for her, Sophie completes the ritual to absorb power from Celeste's bones. At least, that's what she tries to do, but it seems somebody has already absorbed her powers. Where to find another unconsecrated dead witch at this late hour, though? The Mikaelsons volunteer their mother, whom they happen to have stashed away in storage.
As first the gales blow through the city and then torrential rains begin to fall, even Davina realizes she must be sacrificed to save the lives of others. Marcel brings her to Sophie, who slits her throat and asks her ancestors to bring back all the sacrifices. Crickets chirp. Nothing happens. Davina and the other girls seem to be dead for real, forever, and it's pretty awful. Marcel is completely devastated, and Klaus, for once, acts like a decent fellow and consoles him.
All through this, Hayley has been asking Elijah's forgiveness for her part in this whole mess. She intruded on his privacy, gave up Celeste's bones and made Elijah break his promise to his dead love. But where did all of Davina's power go when she died? It went to three formerly dead witches who rise that night from their graves. The fourth witch rose one year earlier, somehow, and she's been parading around as that annoying tour guide, Sabine. In truth, she is Celeste herself (one presumes she possessed Sabine and that's why Elijah didn't recognize her), and she has plans for those newly risen witches. Stay tuned for the full weecap.

Elijah opens with a brief history of witches to let us know there's never been one who's all powerful -- until Davina. He and Klaus wonder why Davina's drawings seem to indicate that Celeste is an imminent force of evil when she's been dead for 200 years.
While they muse on that, Marcel brings her up some sustenance. "Go away!" Davina shrieks, throwing him and her breakfast across the room with a mere gesture. She's not quite ready to forgive him or even look at him after Klaus killed her boyfriend. She waves her hand and hurls a series of objects at him.
"That's going well," Klaus remarks downstairs. "If you're trying to win the girl's trust, perhaps poisoning her one true love was not the most splendid idea," Elijah says. Glasses shatter upstairs. Klaus sighs. "Young, old, dead or alive, witches are a pain in the ass!" Heh.
Suddenly, Davina begins to cough up dirt. Like, garden-fresh actual dirt. Klaus bursts into her bedroom just in time to witness this bizarre turn of events.
Meanwhile, Hayley wants to talk to Elijah about something. Before she can say word one about her little betrayal, though, the earth begins to rumble beneath them. It seems the whole city is shaking in its figurative boots.
Rebekah rushes upstairs to see the teen witch, assuming at first that Davina is acting up. It soon becomes clear that the girl is sick and didn't mean to cause all the ruckus.
The fellas convene to figure out their next step. Klaus is mostly upset that Davina is useless to him this condition, while Marcel seems more concerned about her actual well-being. Elijah decides to consult with Sophie.
Hayley stops him before he leaves the compound. "If you're going to see Sophie, there's something you should know," she says. She blathers some exposition about how she came to help Sophie (family! curses! wolves!) before Elijah finally stops her. She confesses that she went through Elijah's journals to find out where Celeste was buried. "I know it was stupid and snoopy, and I should have just asked you," she says. No, you probably should have just told Sophie to take a hike. Elijah says Celeste wanted never her bodies to be found by the witches, that she didn't want her power going to them. In light of what happens at the end, it seems clear that she had ulterior motives in asking Elijah to bury her. "You not only violated my privacy, you have broken my promise to her," he says. Hayley cries, but she doesn't apologize.
