Happy to be back in his arms, she keeps her pain and desperation of being with her daughter again locked away. She spends time as a wolf to try and stay calm, but she knows that Elijah will never truly accept that part of who she is, even in death. When she thinks that she will spend what seems like forever alone in her longing for Hope, Klaus suddenly appears in the bayou. With someone to finally understand her pain fully, she starts to feel better. But when they are brought back to the living, what will happen when they all have a second chance to live?
