Quotes 

• Eva Sinclair : [finds her sister constructing a marker for Mikael]  Freya... I am so sorry.

  Freya Mikaelson : About what? Certainly not our father. I alone mourn him... as I alone loved him. And now... because of Klaus... my father was taken from me once more.

  Eva Sinclair : I never knew the man you are mourning. He showed more tenderness to you yesterday than we have ever seen. All I can recall is his terrible temper... his awful cruelty... Especially to Klaus.

  Freya Mikaelson : That is not an excuse.

  Eva Sinclair : Isn't it? I know that Klaus can be infuriating... treacherous even, but there is no one better to have by your side against someone like Dahlia. Klaus wants Hope to be save just as much as you want your freedom. We need to work together.

  Freya Mikaelson : How can you defend him? *I* was abducted by Dahlia, spent years under her control, and yet he acts as if I am the enemy. I have given... you all every reason to trust me... and still Klaus rejects me. In all honesty... I cannot understand why you continue to trust him.

  [walks away, turns back:] 

  Freya Mikaelson : You and Elijah have a choice. From now on, it's either Klaus... or me.

  [goes off] 

• Freya Mikaelson : I had a feeling I would be seeing you.

  Elijah Mikaelson : I understand you built a marker for Father. I wish to contribute this.

  Freya Mikaelson : [it's a holstered knife, Mikael's, which she remembers from all those centuries ago]  How did you...?

  Elijah Mikaelson : Niklaus stole from Mikael long ago. He would use it... to carve these tiny little wooden figurines for Rebekah and myself. Like your own, his was not a happy childhood. Art was something of a sanctuary for Niklaus. It remains so to this day.

  Freya Mikaelson : Do you tell me this so I might sympathize with him? As you do incessantly. I assume Rebekah gave you my ultimatum.

  Elijah Mikaelson : I don't accept ultimatums. Nor will I make a choice between yourself... and Niklaus.

  Freya Mikaelson : I will not trust my freedom to an alliance with Klaus. It means you will fight Dahlia alone, and you will lose.

  Elijah Mikaelson : You came to us, tired of running, and desperate to be free, and searching for the kind of strength that can only come from family. Now, with or without you, Klaus and I will defeat Dahlia, and I would prefer you to be by our side.

  Freya Mikaelson : You would ask me to stay and watch as we all become Dahlia's chattel?

  Elijah Mikaelson : Stay... and we defeat Dahlia together. Or you may leave... and consign yourself to a life of solitude. My sister, is there really any choice?

  Freya Mikaelson : [considers this, and then:]  Swear to me that you will not allow Klaus to be our undoing.
