Evangeline, Elijah, and Finn were in the compound, watching the video Vincent left for Davina and Kol at St.James before he and Lucien left with Freya, "Before they forced me to take her, they had me put up a cloaking spell, so we can't be tracked. Now, Lucien's taking us out of town someplace, I don't know where... but there's a loophole."

He stopped as Elijah paused the video as Evangeline ran a hand over her face in anticipation and Finn turned to the couple, asking, "Just how am I the loophole?"

"Didn't you stay in Vincent's body for a while?" Evangeline huffed out, guessing, "Maybe that's it?"

"She is right, you got housed in one of the most powerful witch bodies in the city-- Vincent's," Kol supported her theory, explaining, "And, even after all this time, there's still an echo of a body-soul connection between you two."

Elijah opened the video once again as Vincent continued elaborating on the loophole, "And Davina, that's where you come into play. I need a powerful witch that's off the Ancestors' radar."

They watched as Vincent used a knife to cut his palm and left her some of his blood in a small vial for Davina to use in a spell, "I want you to find the thread between me and Finn."

Elijah once again shut off the video, turning to Davina, asking, "Have you ever done anything like this?"

"I don't even know if it's possible," Davina replied, holding up the vial of blood as it was clear by the look on her face that she didn't want something bad to happen to either kidnapped witches, "But, I do have Vincent's blood. If I can take Finn's blood and do the spell right, I should be able to track Vincent down."

Finn looked upset as he paced around the room, "I should have sensed something was wrong when Freya didn't call. Now Lucien has a head start."

"This is my fault," Evangeline claimed, shaking her head, "I shouldn't have let Lucien in here, this was all his scheme for Marcel to get the bullet for us then you and Elijah fighting over it and of course he would present the idea of Freya keeping it."

He looked over at Davina, shooing her away with his hand as he ordered patronizingly, "Go, witch. Tend to your spells. I won't rest until she's found."

Kol scoffed in disbelief as he looked around the room at Finn and the others, visibly having difficulty keeping his temper in check, "Behold, the selfless martyr! First, he wants to rip Davina's head off for trapping him in his body. Now he can't wait to be spelled."
