The girls walk into the gym and see Raf using a punching bag. "Hey," says. Grace smirks, "Have something against the bag?" she asks. "I'm almost done here," Raf says. "And then I'll get out your way," he adds. "You know, no, actually, I could use a sparring partner," Hope says. "If she doesn't punch someone, she's gonna fall asleep," Faith says. "Yeah. All right," Raf says.

"Why do I feel that they would make a very cute couple," Rebejah says. "Nope," Klaus, Grace and Lizzie says at the same time.

"You're being too gentle," Hope complains when Raf does not punch her very hard. "I'm punching you with half my weight," Raf says. "Give me all of it," Hope says. "That's gonna hurt," Raf says. "No, it's not," Hope says. "Don't make me take you down. I have no desire to be alpha here," Hope taunts. "Hope. You good?" Raf asks when the girl falls partially to the ground. Then she turns around and punches Raf. "Damn, woman," he says. Grace and Faith laugh making the other two laugh as well. "I'm really sorry about all the things that happened to you in your life that made you so good at brawling, but I really needed that just now," Hope says. "Listen...I don't mean to get in your business, but...be cool with Landon, okay?" Raf says. Grace growls, "I know him, and he's not gonna believe that he's welcome here until he's about to graduate. He's gonna be waiting on the other shoe to drop. And look, if-if you're gonna drop that shoe, all I ask is that you... you be gentle, okay?" Raf explains. "What makes you think that there's another shoe?" Grace asks. "Where we're from, there's always another shoe. Sometimes it's-it's an actual shoe or...a belt. But you get the point. Look, if you're cooling off on him, fine. But just don't lie to him," Raf says. "I'm not cooling off on him," Hope says. "Why have you been avoiding him?" Raf growls. Faith also growls, "Because there's a lot going on," Faith says. "It couldn't hurt to be a little more honest about it," Raf says. "We're being as honest as we can," Grace says. "Yeah. And somewhere still in that is a lie," Raf accuses. "You've never lied to protect someone?" Hope asks. "No, Hope. I haven't," Raf says. "Well then, lucky you," Grace says, leaving with her cousins.

"Maybe they are keeping secrets from him for good reasons," Kol growls. "Maybe you should just stay out of their business," Davina adds.

"Dr. Saltzman," Landon says entering the office to see Dr. Saltzman with the three Mikaelson girls. "You've decided to take you up on your offer and get the hell out with every other sane person here," Alaric asks. "No, actually, I took your advice and I stayed busy, and I think I found something. Let's pretend for a second that the research isn't wrong. Maybe the Night Hag can't hurt us in real life. Maybe the Night Hag can't leave the astral plane and get a hold of the urn, so maybe we are not dealing with a Night Hag," Landon explains. "Well, if it walks like a Night Hag, and talks like a Night Hag, what else could it be?" Alaric says seemingly dismissing Landon. "That's exactly what I was wondering, so then I started going through all these books, and boom," Landon says showing him the book. "What's an Oneiroi?" Hope asks. "It's a black-winged shapeshifting dream demon from Greek mythology," Alaric says. "Yeah, of course he knows what it is," Grace growls. "Why would one monster disguise itself as another monster?" Landon asks. "So we don't know how to kill it," Faith mutters under her breath. "The Oneiroi sounds freaky enough. Because if we knew what it actually was..." Landon says. "We'd know how to stop it," the three Mikaelsons says. "Hope, kiss him for me," Alaric says, Faith shakes her head.

"Don't you dare," Klaus shouts. Hayley glares at him. Hope again puts her face in her hands embarrassed, Josie however looks away. "Two," Lizzie mouths to Grace.

"A black-winged what?" Kaleb asks. "Shapeshifting dream demon," the Mikaelsons deadpan. "I know it sounds bad, but now that we know what the creature is, we can fight it," Grace says. "How the hell are we supposed to kill a dream demon?" Raf asks. The three girls exchange a look, "Leave that part to us," Grace says. "But since we can't fall asleep without compromising the location of the urn, we need someone else to pull it out of the dream plane and into our waking reality," Hope says. "Not just anyone, it's got to be one of the three of us," Faith says. "I'll do it," Grace says. They all turn to her, "What," Hope and Faith say at the same time. She pulls them out into the hallway, "Listen, we have vampire blood running through our veins all the time," Grace says. "If it kills me, I'll just come back to life and I already have a daylight ring," Grace says.

"Why do you have a daylight ring," Kol asks. "We both do," Faith says. "Just in case something happens," Grace adds.

"So, Freddy Krueger," MG asks Landon while the Mikaelson girls talk. "Like I said, how the hell are we supposed to do that?" Raf asks. "If it's anything like the movies, we just grab and pull," MG says. "Yeah, okay. Is it too late to get on the, uh, evacuation bus? Raf asks. "No. I mean, I'm not gonna ask all of you to stay for this, it has to be your choice," MG says. "I'm not leaving unless Hope does," Landon says. Kaleb laughs, "We already know the answer to that, so... I'm not leaving Landon behind," Raf adds. 'I'm a founding member of the Super Squad, so I can't bail," MG says. "Y'all gonna get yourselves killed. But if MG stays, I stay. No child left behind," Raf says.

"It's nice to see that they all work together," Freya muses. "Especially since the girls seemed so closed off," Elijah adds.
