Elijah and Klaus discuss the history of Lucien, Aurora, and Tristan. They realize that Lucien could represent both "friend" and "foe" in the prophecy, so their future murderers remain unclear.

Lucien compels Detective Kinney to let him talk to Cami, and Vincent insists on accompanying her. Lucien tells them his story. Marcel feels unappreciated. Cami is still in search of the killer.
