THE NEXT MORNING at St. Anne's Church, Mira is sitting atop of the altar.

[Mira's Outfit]

Two witches brings Agnes inside the church and sits her down in a pew.

"What is this?" Agnes asked.

"You're here because I want you to be here, Agnes." Mira said, and looks at the two witches. "Thanks, you can leave."

The two witches walks away, leaving Agnes with Mira.

"Of course, Mira Leuven. The Rebellious She-Wolf." Agnes said.

"I know of you, Agnes." Mira said, gently leaping off the altar and sauntered up to Agnes. "I know about you, Sabine, and Bastiana have been scheming together."

"So, what are you gonna do? Destroy me? The witches will turn on you." Agnes said.

"I'm pretty sure you know I'm half witch, Agnes. So, I don't give a damn." Mira said, and magically inflicts an aneurysm spell on Agnes, making her nose bleed, and ceases her magic. "And I also know that the witches have been plotting against Klaus as well."

"Jane-Anne and Sophie?" Agnes said.

"Nope. I keep tabs on everything." Mira said to her. "And by the way, and for the last time, Jane-Anne and Sophie are my best friends. My family."

Agnes and Mira exchange looks at each other. And Mira uses her wolf-speeds to hold Agnes in a chokehold.

"I'm not gonna destroy you, Agnes. I'm just gonna magically inflict pain on you." Mira said.

"Miranda?" Elijah said.

"Hi, old bestie, I'm just having a chitchat with Agnes." Mira said to Elijah.

"Miranda, you will do no such thing." Elijah said, slowly walks in the aisle.

"Oh, boo-hoo, you're ruining my fun." Mira said to Elijah, gently holding Agnes in a chokehold.

"Miranda, release Agnes." Elijah said.

Elijah and Mira mildly looks at each other. And she slowly lets go of Agnes.

"Okay, now, what?" Mira asked Elijah, cheekily.

Elijah vamp-speeds to Agnes and snaps her neck, killing her instantly. Agnes's dead body falls onto the floor.

Elijah and Mira exchange looks at each other.

"I assume that you had a score to settle, Elijah." Mira said.

"Indeed I have settled the score." Elijah replied to Mira. "And it would seem you and Niklaus have rekindled your relationship."

"He and I have." Mira replied. "How are you and Hayley? Are you two good?"

Elijah looks at Mira, knowing that she's just messing with him. "Hayley and I are good." and slowly walks away.

And Mira small smiles.

⚜️⚜️

Out and about in the Bayou, Mira is snacking on a beignet, enjoying the warm breeze.

Suddenly, she's wolf-sped by someone, making her drop her beignet on the leafy ground and falls onto the ground.

Mira looks up at the person, who is her estranged mother, Elaine Leuven.

"Hi, Miranda." Elaine greeted her daughter.

"Hi, Mommy. Missed you." Mira greeted her mother with a annoyed scowl. "You made me waste my half eaten beignet."

"Aww, don't pout, you can always get yourself another one." Elaine said to her. "I haven't seen you in years."

"Well, it's years too late for you." Mira said, getting up to her feet, and wolf-sped her mother to a tree truck in a gently chokehold. "Why should I not tear out your stomach guts?"

"Because I'm your mother." Elaine replied.

"Wrong answer." Mira with a straight face.

"I know I've hurt you by leaving you and your father." Elaine said.

"My father's dead you deadbeat bitch." Mira said, letting go of Elaine and slowly walks away from her.

Elaine composes herself and looks at her daughter, Mira. "I know you resent me for leaving."

"You think I was pissed because you left? No, I was pissed because you left my father. I had to take care of him and myself. So, pardon me if I'm not in a happy mood for a mother-daughter amending relationship."

"I came here for you." Elaine said to Mira.

"Well, too damn bad, Elaine. I don't need you. I'm perfectly capable of taking care of myself." Mira said, and wolf-speed away.

MIKAELSON COMPOUND

Klaus slowly walks into the study and sees Mira sitting on the sofa with her feet propped up on the coffee table with a bottle of bourbon in her hand.

"Mira?" Klaus said.

"My deadbeat mom is here." Mira tells him. "So, I needed a drink to ease myself."

"Your mom, as in Elaine?" Klaus said, processing what his girlfriend has told him. "She's here in the French Quarter?"

"Yeah." Mira said, taking a swig of her bourbon bottle. "There I was, taking a stroll in the Bayou, and suddenly, there she was. And plus, get this, she wants to make amends with me."

"And what did you say?" Klaus asked.

"I told her to go to hell." Mira said.

"That's a bit harsh isn't it?" Klaus said.

"Says the man who has daddy issues." Mira said, referring to Mikael.

"Aren't we an intricately pair?" Klaus said with a small smile, sitting down beside her, gently taking a swig of the bottle of bourbon.

Mira small smiles to herself. "You were right, Klaus. You and I are kindred spirits."

Klaus and Mira exchange small smiles at each other and shares a kiss.

Mira's phone buzzes in her jeans pocket. She pulls out her phone and looks at it.

Davina

Mira answers her phone. "Hey, Davina. How are you?"

"I'm fine, but I need to talk to you about something. Can you meet me in the Lycée in the Lafayette Cemetery?" Davina asked on the phone.

"Yeah, sure, I'm on my way." Mira replied on the phone, and hangs up her phone, glancing at her boyfriend, Klaus. "Don't drink all the bourbon." she said, getting up and walks away.

"There's plenty of bourbon in the cellar." Klaus said.

"Yeah, I know." Mira said.

Klaus and Mira exchange playfully teasing smiles at each other.

LAFAYETTE CEMETERY

Mira slowly walks into the Lycée and sees Davina sitting at the table.

"Davina?" Mira asked the young Claire witch, sitting across the table from her. "Are you okay?"

"Not really." Davina replied. "I've been contacted by Mikael."

"I thought he was dead?" Mira said.

"He is. And he's been trying to get me to resurrect him. But if I do, Klaus will kill me." Davina said.

"No, he won't. Unless, he wants to handle me." Mira said. "But there's something else. Elaine Leuven."

"Who's Elaine?" Davina asked.

"My estranged deadbeat mother. She's a werewolf and a blood addict." said Mira.

"A blood addict?" Davina said.

"Elaine's addicted to blood and a werewolf." Mira said.

"Where is she now?" Davina asked.

"Don't know and don't care." Mira said. "By anyhoo, Mikael wants you to resurrect him so he can destroy Klaus, am I right?"

Davina nodded. "Yeah. What am I gonna do if Mikael contacts me again?"

"I don't know, Davina." Mira said, not knowing herself.

Davina and Mira exchange worried looks at each other.

ROUSSEAU'S

After feeding on some customers, Eliane Leuven has blood smeared on her blouse and mouth.

"Who the hell are you?" Camille asked Eliane, having just walked inside the Rousseau's bar.

"I'm Elaine. Elaine Leuven. You know of my daughter, Mira Leuven." Elaine said to Camille.

Camille becomes worried. And Elaine smirks at her.
