Rebekah was rocking with Hope in a rocking chair at their new home while she tells Hope a story about their lives. She tells the story that was including Klaus standing on the balcony overlooking the French Quarter, Francesca and her brothers attacking the vampires, Genevieve making the moonlight rings, Klaus being weakened by the rings drawing on his strength, and Hayley mourning Hope's "death" at the memorial for the fallen in the Battle of New Orleans.
"Once upon a time, there was a majestic king, who lived with his noble brother in a kingdom where music and art were celebrated. The king did not foresee having a child, but he lived in an enchanted land where all things were possible. In time, he was blessed with a beautiful baby daughter, for whom he wished only peace." Rebekah tells as Hope coos at her. "Still, the king had demons who pursued him. There was a ruthless beast who wanted to take the kingdom for her own. Armed with a pack of untamed creatures, she drove the other magical creatures from the land. And, there was a wicked sorceress with enchanted stones that weakened the king every full moon. Seeing the shadow his enemies cast upon his home, the king was driven to send his beloved princess away, convincing all who remained that she was forever lost." Rebekah recalls before taking a deep breath and continues with the story.
"The king, in his sorrow, turned away from the world. The castle closed its doors, and the kingdom fell. Some say that the only light that shines in the castle illuminates the shadow of the once majestic king in the room meant for his child. But, as the ruthless beasts took rule over the fallen king's realm, little did they know that he and his brother would not rest until their enemies were vanquished. For, they believed that one day, they would heal their kingdom and bring their precious princess home, so that she might live happily ever after."
Klaus stands at the window of Hope's nursery, looking down on the street, as Elijah approaches him from behind and places a comforting hand on his shoulder. Somewhere else, Rebekah lays Hope in her crib, setting Klaus' carved wooden knight next to her before turning out the lights and leaving her to sleep.

Klaus was listening to Mozart on a record player while he furiously tried to stretch a canvas over a wooden frame for a painting. When he tears through the canvas, he angrily throws the canvas across the room, just as Elijah returns from his meeting.
"AGHHHHHH!" Klaus yelled out angry.
Elijah picks up the canvas and inspects it. "I suppose we shall have to call this your "white period."
"I'm missing a crucial color in my palette - that of my enemies' blood." Klaus declared.
"Well, I recommend a Venetian red, with a dash of rust..." Elijah suggested.
"It's been months! I've adhered to our plan: sit and do nothing, sell our grief. And now, my child is safely away, and another full moon is upon us - another night of pathetic weakness as the moonlight rings steal my strength!" Klaus exclaimed, losing his temper.
