A girl with long, wavy dark brown hair who is wearing a long, white dress frantically runs for safety toward a red door at the end of a hall. Elijah, shirtless and covered in blood from head to toe, slowly stalks her as she whimpers in fear and desperately tries to open the door. When the girl turns around, it is revealed that the girl is Coney, who looks back at Elijah in sheer terror and continues pounding on the door to no avail. Elijah finally grabs her by the arm and turns her toward him, but it's no longer Coney, it's another girl with lighter brown hair. He grabs her by the hair and turns her neck toward him before vamping-out and feeding on her as she cries in protest.

Coney wakes up, gasping, covered in sweat, crying, her heart beating fast. She wipes her forehead of sweat and gets up, taking deep breaths and trying to calm herself down. What was that? Why was she seeing this? She felt like she was invading his privacy, and she didn't like it. She ignores it, changes, and goes back to sleep.

The next day, Coney arrives at the apartment to visit Marcel, who she finds pouring himself a drink at his bar.

"So, those werewolf kids you helped get out of the Quarter made it to the safe house up north," Coney asks. She smiles at him gratefully, and he seems pleased by this news.

"Great! My good deed for the decade," Marcel says.

He hands her a drink, but she politely declines it by holding up her hand. "No, I'm good. Maybe the vampires and my sister's free wolves can work together after all."

Marcel smiles and says, "The enemy of my enemy is my friend!" He casually sips his drink.

"Anyway, thanks... for helping," Coney says.

He shakes his head and says, "Don't thank me. Thank Elijah."

Coney frowns and says, "I would have, but I can't get a hold of him. I looked around the compound, thinking he'd be there..."

"Really? I thought you always have tabs on him?" Marcel says, surprised.

Coney awkwardly says, "I mean, we haven't really been on the best terms lately. He wouldn't just disappear, though."

Marcel processes this information for a moment before saying, "Uh, last I knew, he was gonna keep the wolves distracted. Your boy Oliver was gonna help."

"I couldn't track down Oliver, either," Coney says worried. Marcel frowns in concern. "If they're both missing..." Coney realizes that Elijah must be in trouble. "My dream," She says and turns to leave.

"Where you goin'?" Marcel asks, exasperated.

"To find them," Coney says.

"Not on your own, you're not," Marcel says. Marcel sets down his drink and rushes after Coney as she walks out of the apartment.

While they were in the car, Coney has a vision.

It's the morning after Klaus triggered his werewolf gene. Klaus sits in the forest, naked, covered in blood, and surrounded by the dismembered corpses of several men that he killed while he was transformed into a wolf. Elijah finds him a moment later and looks at him with sympathy as Klaus struggles to hold back his tears.
