NEW ORLEANS -- MIKAELSON COMPOUND

The next day, Ana Coleman-Mikaelson gently walks down the stairs and into the courtyard and sees a silver platter with a dish on a table.

"Klaus? Elijah?" Ana called out to the Mikaelson Brothers.

Both Klaus and Elijah gently walks down the stairs and into the courtyard where Ana is.

"Did you guys make any food?" Ana asked.

"I didn't." Klaus said.

"Neither did I." Elijah said.

Ana gently takes the silver dish lid off, revealing two freshly-baked beignets.

"I guess Christy sent these two beignets." Ana said.

"Christy usually sends something with a note-card." Klaus said. "This wasn't her."

"Then, where did the beignets come from?" Ana asked.

Elijah gently picks up a note-card. "There's a note-card." And gently hands it to Klaus.

Klaus gently takes the note-card from Elijah and looks at it. "This isn't Christy's handwriting."

Klaus, Elijah and Ana exchange looks at each other and.

Klaus's phone buzzes in his pants pocket. He takes out his phone and looks at it.

Unknown number

Klaus answers his phone. "Whoever this is, I'm not the person to play guessing games with."

"Hello, Klaus. Did you miss me?" said the female voice of Charlotte Petrova on the phone.

Klaus becomes bewildered. "Charlotte Petrova?

"Did you receive my beignets along with my note-card?" Charlotte asked.

"How the bloody hell are you in New Orleans?" Klaus asked her.

"I'm pretty sure you can guess, Handsome." Charlotte said.

"Marcalos resurrected you." Klaus said. "Stay away from me." And he hangs up his phone.

"Charlotte Petrova? Your crazy bitchy ex-girlfriend?" Ana said.

"Can you handle her, Niklaus?" Elijah said.

"I can handle her, Elijah." Klaus said.

Ana looks at the two beignets and sits down at the table. "Well, I'm gonna eat the two beignets."

Klaus and Elijah exchange looks at each other.

ROUSSEAU'S

Klaus sits at the bar counter with a small drinking glass of bourbon.

He takes a swig of her bourbon. The door opens and closes.

And Charlotte slowly walks up next to him. "Hello, Handsome."

Klaus looks at his crazy ex-girlfriend, Charlotte Petrova. "Charlotte."

shortly after . . .

Klaus and Charlotte exchange tense looks at each other.

"How is Marcalos's Underworld Palace?" Klaus asked.

"So, we're skipping the "Hellos", Klaus?" Charlotte said with a small grin. "And by the way, Marcalos's Underworld Palace is dull and boring."

"What are you doing here?" Klaus asked.

"I'm enjoying the fresh air, considering that I have 24 hours before I flame out and goes back to Marcalos's Underworld Palace." Charlotte told him.

"You can enjoy the fresh air somewhere then." said Klaus.

"Have a drink with me?" Charlotte asked.

Klaus just looks at Charlotte. "What part of "stay away from me" did you not understand?"

Klaus and Charlotte exchange tense looks at each other. He finishes the rest of his bourbon in one gulp and gets up, walking away.

Now, outside, Klaus walks away and Charlotte vamp-sped him into a nearby alleyway.

"What is with you?" Charlotte asked. "I'm just simply trying to make small talk with you and you just walk away from me."

"I don't know why you've been resurrected, but I am not in a mood for any of your nonsense. So, stay the bloody hell away from me." Klaus told her and walks away from her.

And Charlotte rolls her eyes, annoyed, and gently leans sideways on the brick wall.

Max slowly walks inside the Grand foyer. He and Christy exchange looks at each other.

"Max?" Christy said.

"Hello, Christy." Max greeted his childhood best friend in his British accent with a small smile. "What are you doing here?"

"Chief Advisor business and a last meeting with The Loyalists." Christy told him. "What about you? What are you up to?"

"Well, as General Commander, I have duties as well." Max said.

"What's the militia base up to?" Christy asked.

"Nothing much." Max said, gently leaning on the staircase railing. "General Markos just contacted me on my wrist comm about a meeting and some equipment." And glances at the binder that Christy has. "What's with the binder?"

"I'm just looking over the shareholder and investments." Christy told him.

"We could hangout with each other sometimes, you know. We grew up together. We're childhood besties and we also had a former romantic relationship." Max said.

"Yeah, we did. That's bygones now." Christy said.

"Yeah, so have a drink with me at Rousseau's whenever you officially come back home?" Max asked.

"Sure." Christy told him. "How's Gia and Marion?"

Max small smiles at the mention of his wife and daughter. "My favorite girls are doing fine. Marion has an arts and crafts hobby."

"Really?" Christy said.

"Yeah, she's made those pasta necklaces and draws pictures. Me and Gia puts them on the refrigerator." Max said.

"Arts and crafts sounds fun." Christy said.

"Yeah." Max said. And glances at the armband monitor that Christy wears on her right arm. "You're still recovering."

Christy glances at her armband monitor. "Yeah, it monitors my vitals. But I'm okay."

"Alright then, I'll see you at Rousseau's." Max said and walks away.

That afternoon, Christy is with The Loyalists in a meeting. It's her last meeting. And they're talking about the shareholders and the investments.

"By our calculations, our investments has increased and decreased. But everything is well thus far." Loyalist Malliades said.

"So, is that how the system works?" Christy asked.

"The system works for everyone here at Mount Orasani, Milady Christiana." Loyalist Aris said.

"That's a good thing, right?" Christy asked.

"Absolutely, Milady Christiana." Loyalist Makias replied.

"Okay, then." Christy said. And looks around at The Loyalists. "The meeting is concluded."

Everyone gets up and walks away.

"Kreutzer?" Christy said.

"Yes, Milady?" Kreutzer said.

"Can you meet me at Hagarth's Tavern? I would like to talk to you about something." Christy asked.

"Of course, Milady." Kreutzer said with a bow of his head and walks away.

HAGARTH'S TAVERN

Later that afternoon, Kreutzer and Christy are sitting across from each other at a bench table. Teif brings them a platter of two copper mugs of Meiji tea and gently sits them both on the bench table.

"Thanks, Teif." Christy thanked her.

"You're welcome, Milady." Teif said and walks away.

Christy looks at Kreutzer. "Thanks for meeting me here. I'll be a short moment."

"Of course. What would you like to discuss with me?" Kreutzer asked, taking a swig of his copper mug of Meiji tea.

Christy gently folds her arms on the bench table. "Well, before the meeting, I went over the calculations of the shareholders and the investments, and I found a little delay."

"What is the delay?" Kreutzer asked.

Christy gently slides the binder across the table from him. Kreutzer looks at a red circle that Christy had.

"The second bar graph was somehow decreasing. I don't know, but I just thought I should tell you, since you're the head Loyalist." Christy said.

"I will check on this delay at once, Milady. Thank you for bringing this to my attention." Kreutzer said.

"You're welcome." Christy said, taking a swig of her copper mug of Meiji tea.

"I've been spending some time with my parents, and so, as your granddaughter, I thought it would be nice to spend some time with my grandparents for a little while." Christy said.

Dimitris and Celia exchange small smiles at each other and looks at their granddaughter again.

"Thanks, Grandma." Christy said.

Dimitris, Celia and Christy sits at the kitchen countertop with their chocolate soufflés.

Dimitris, Celia and Christy are exchanging playful laughter while eating small spoonfuls of their soufflés.

"The culinary chefs could've made these soufflés." Celia said.

"I know, Grandma, but you know me, I cook my own food and bake my own sweets." said Christy.

"You have a sweet tooth for desserts." Dimitris said.

"Yeah, I was always told when I was a little kid, to eat my food and then, dessert." Christy said. "How's everything with the Elder Gods and Goddess?"

"Everything's alright with us." Dimitris said.

"Unfortunately, we have to take our leave." Celia said.

Christy, Luna and Trinity exchange playful chuckles through the video chat.

"Where's your father?" Christy asked.

"He's out and about in the French Quarter." Trinity told her. "Will you be there at the upcoming parade?"

"Yeah, I'll be there." Christy said. "Actually, I'm done with my last meeting here so I'll be home soon."

"We can't wait to see you Mom." Luna said with a small smile.

"I can't wait to see you girls too." Christy said to her daughters. "Okay, then. I gotta go. I'll see you two and your father soon."
