Quotes 

• Elijah Mikaelson : You may doubt him, but today I saw Niklaus demonstrate mercy towards an enemy. Tell me that's not progress.

  Rebekah Mikaelson : Please, Elijah, who do you think convinced Klaus to let Thierry out?

  Elijah Mikaelson : Why would you do such a thing?

  Rebekah Mikaelson : 'Cause despite Klaus' reprieve, Thierry despises him. I like that about Thierry. I also like that he used to date a witch, so he knows about French Quarter covens. Maybe he could lead me to whoever stole off with the Harvest magic.

  Elijah Mikaelson : Rebekah, we are all devastated by the outcome of this ritual.

  Rebekah Mikaelson : That's just it. There was no outcome. We both know that power like that doesn't just vanish. I think someone stole it, I'd like to know who, and then I'd like to make an ally out of them.

  Elijah Mikaelson : To what end exactly?

  Rebekah Mikaelson : I'm tired of being threatened and controlled by our tyrant brother. If you want to stop a bully, you need the power to stand up to them.

  Elijah Mikaelson : I expected such behavior from Niklaus. It's so very disappointing when it comes from you, Rebekah. Do you not see that in his way, he is making an effort here? He's invited us back into our family home. He yearns for our family to be reunited.

  Rebekah Mikaelson : Yes. He's in a brilliant mood now, but for how long? It's his trick, Elijah. He lulls you into a false sense of camaraderie and kinship, and then he turns on you like a snake. I fall for it every time, and wind up with a dagger in my chest for all my trouble. No more.

  Elijah Mikaelson : I believe that He's approaching some semblance of peace here. Leadership may in fact be a good thing for him. Now, sister, please, I ask you, if you cannot support him, then at least do nothing to provoke him.

• Rebekah Mikaelson : [attacks traitor]  I should rip out your coward heart!

  Thierry Vanchure : Wait, Rebekah! We made a deal to take out your brother, but at the end of the day, it's every man for himself.

  Rebekah Mikaelson : [with loathing]  I am so sick of self-serving narcissists!

• Elijah Mikaelson : I asked you to cease these petty moves against our family, and yet you conspire with this fool. Is this what it's come to? Making moves against your own blood?

  Rebekah Mikaelson : Don't you try to shame me. Nik grows more powerful by the day, and you do nothing but encourage him.

  Elijah Mikaelson : I offer him my counsel because it is clear to me that he means to make the city our home. Now, perhaps, leading these

  [exasperated sigh] 

  Elijah Mikaelson : derelicts will curb some of these impulses, grant him some degree of happiness.

  Rebekah Mikaelson : You always talk of Nik's happiness, but for a thousand years, he's always robbed me of any chance of my own. What about me, Elijah? Am I not a concern for you?

  Elijah Mikaelson : We all make our sacrifices in the name of this family, Rebekah, but know this. I will never stand against you or Niklaus.

  Rebekah Mikaelson : What about Hayley? Nothing I conspire to do, none of my treachery, will harm this family as much as your feelings for her. You're a hypocrite, Elijah! You would choose love over family, and then condemn me for doing the same.
