She asks him why he does not sit down with his father and Klaus tells him it is not possible.
Esther tells Elena that when her children were changed to vampires they ravaged the town. Instead of sticking to animal blood they went for people. Now she wants to undo the wrong – at least that’s what she says… . She wants to kill Klaus and she needs Elena’s help. She tells Elena the ball is actually a ritual and she needs Elena’s blood – only a drop and Elena lets her take it. She is going to put her blood in the champagne and that will start the magic.
