Hope Mikaelson, a student at the Salvatore School for the Young and Gifted, assists her headmaster Alaric Saltzman in recruiting werewolf Rafael to the school.
Alaric assigns the students community service as punishment for the fight that broke out after the game, which Lizzie blames Josie and Alaric for. Hope is also there for using black magic, and starts to bond with Josie.
Alaric agrees to hold elections for a student honor council consisting of one representative from each supernatural faction before leaving to meet with Dorian. Rafael seeks out each of the front-runners for confirmation that they will let Landon stay at the school.
