Quotes 

• Freya Mikaelson : Locator spells in twelve ancient languages? I thought you weren't allowed to do magic outside of the classroom.

  Hope Mikaelson : Catch-up reading.

  [chuckles self-consciously] 

  Hope Mikaelson : I'm trying to make up for being suspended.

  Freya Mikaelson : Mm-hmm.

  Hope Mikaelson : Keep my grades up.

• Hope Mikaelson : I've got to get back to work, Aunt Freya.

  Freya Mikaelson : Sure, sure. I mean, I could... just leave. After an eleven-hour drive to see my only niece... or... we could get comfy, stuff our faces with deep-fried glory, and you could tell me about that cute guy you had hidden in your room last week.

• Hope Mikaelson : I'm the one who put the cloaking spell on her. Maybe I could try to lift it without being in the same room with her.

  Freya Mikaelson : And the fact that it's never been done in the history of witchcraft isn't going to deter you?

  Hope Mikaelson : I can't just sit around and do nothing.

  Freya Mikaelson : All right then.

  [nods, smiles] 

  Freya Mikaelson : Let's get to work.

• Hope Mikaelson : So, I'm, like, cursed? Predicted to be the downfall of what, my family... New Orleans... the world?

  [groans] 

  Freya Mikaelson : [shakes her head]  I have no idea. But you deserve to know what's going on. And we both need to prepare for the possibility that... things might not work out the way we want them to.

  Hope Mikaelson : You mean for my Mom to die.

  Freya Mikaelson : [shakes her head]  For what happens inside of you... anytime tragedy strikes. When your emotions are tested in ways... you couldn't even imagine.

  Hope Mikaelson : How can *anyone* prepare for that?

  Freya Mikaelson : You... aren't just anyone, Hope. You're a firstborn Mikaelson witch... with a terrifying amount of power... even... without the darkness that your family is keeping you away from.

  Hope Mikaelson : So what? I'm so sensitive, everyone's afraid I'm just gonna flip out?

  Freya Mikaelson : [chuckles]  Well, when people like you and me flip out...

  [shakes her head] 

  Freya Mikaelson : entire villages can burn. Look, I know what it's like to have your family *thrust* you into a situation where... the world is on your shoulders, and... you're not at all sure if you have the strength to carry it.

  Hope Mikaelson : And how's that working for you?

  Freya Mikaelson : Not well. That's why I'm not with the woman I love.

  Hope Mikaelson : So then, why don't you just go back and deal with that and leave me to go try and find my mother?

  [on her way] 

  Freya Mikaelson : Hope, stop!

  Hope Mikaelson : Why, so you can keep stalling me?

  Freya Mikaelson : You can't shut down, or it will eat you up inside.

  Hope Mikaelson : Leave me alone!

  Freya Mikaelson : Hope...!

  Hope Mikaelson : [yells]  I said *leave me alone!*

  [her anger causes inferno of flames] 

  Freya Mikaelson : Hope, stop it!

  [Hope's anger cools off and the fire dies down] 

  Freya Mikaelson : Are you ready to talk now?
