(Elena is reading Jonathan Gilbert's journal)
1864
[Gilbert's house]
(Jonathan is eating with Honoria Fell and a man)
Jonathan: With the dying embers of the fire at Fell's church, the scourge of the vampires had passed. And though w*r raged all around us, our town was safe from the demons of the night... Or so we thought. For the monsters we drove to their fiery deaths had begat new monsters.
(They hear a noise)
Honoria: Did you hear that?
(Thomas looks trough the window and takes a Kn*fe)
Thomas: Stay here
Honoria: No, Thomas
Thomas: It's all right, dear, the vampires are all dead
Jonathan: Yes, Honoria... they b*rned in the church. We're safe now
(Thomas leaves)
Honoria: Please, Jonathan. I'm worried
Jonathan: Very well. I shall go too
(He rejoins Thomas outside)
(Thomas is outside looking around him. Jonathan rejoins him)
Jonathan: I can prove there are no vampires
(He takes the magical compass but he doesn't react)
Jonathan: See?
(Suddenly the compass works showing that there is a vampire. When he turns himself, Thomas is gone)
Jonathan: Thomas? Thomas?!
(Thomas body falls on the floor. Honoria gets out of the house)
Honoria: Thomas!
Jonathan: No, stay inside! Get back in the house!
(The vampires kills her and goes toward Jonathan)
Jonathan: I knew I was about to die. You can not run from a vampire. I saw the vampire who k*lled me. I recognized him. Stefan Salvatore

(Elena is surprised. And look at Stefan through the window)
[Gilbert's lake house]
(Stefan is outside, looking at the lake. His phone rings. He answers)
Stefan: What's going on?
Damon: Well, I showered. I shaved. Had breakfast. Very relaxed
Stefan: That makes one of us
Damon: I did hear one piece of good news though. Tyler Lockwood ran away from home last night.
Stefan: How do you know?
Damon: Well, I heard it from sheriff Forbes, who heard it from a very distraught Carol Lockwood, thus, ending our werewolf chapter, bringing us to...
Stefan: ...k*lling Elijah
Damon: Exactly
Stefan: Well, it's not going to be easy. He's crafty
Damon: Well, I've got a crafty little dagger
Stefan: He's an Original. We don't know what all that encompasses
Damon: Oh, trust me, Stefan. I'm gonna dot all my t's. I don't want any surprises
Stefan: Wow, Damon, tell me you're actually gonna be careful for once
Damon: Yes, Stefan, I've become you. How tragic for both of us. Got to run. I've a m*rder to plan. Busy day
(He hangs up)
[Somewhere in Mystic Falls]
(Elijah and Jenna are walking)
Jenna: The old Fell property actually starts just beyond that fence
Elijah: Ah, the Fells... one of the Founding Families
Jenna: Why do you say it like that?
Elijah: My research showed me that this area was actually settled almost two full centuries earlier. It was a migration of townsfolk from the northeast, um, it was Salem, to be precise
Jenna: Massachusetts? As in the witch trials?
Elijah: Which means the ever lauded founding families... They didn't actually found anything
Jenna: Well, I bet it was the men who made a big deal about being founders back in 1860. Men are very territorial
Elijah: Yes, they are
(Alaric rejoins them)
Jenna: Elijah, this is my friend, Alaric Saltzman
Alaric: Yeah, I got your message about walking Elijah here through the old property lines. I thought I would tag along. You know being a history buff and all. Where to next?
Elijah: I'm pretty curious about the freed sl*ve property owners. Some say, you know, the descendents of the slaves are the true keepers of American history
Jenna: Well, I only brought the surveys. I got the list in the car. just give me a sec
(She goes to her car leaving them alone)
Elijah: Alaric Saltzman. So you're one of those people on Elena's list of loved ones to protect
Alaric: So is Jenna
Elijah: You don't have to be jealous. I don't really pursue younger women. It's a joke, Ric, lighten up
Alaric: Right
[Mystic Grill]
(Jeremy arrives and sees Bonnie. He smiles and rejoins her)
Jeremy: Hey, whatcha doin'?
Bonnie: Thinking about last night
Jeremy: Yeah, yeah. Me, too
Bonnie: It was a tough spell. I could feel it draining me. I need practice
Jeremy: Yeah, well, uh, maybe, I don't know… Maybe you should come over tonight. We can practice. Get stronger
Bonnie: Yeah, sure. Thanks
(He sees Luka coming toward us)
Jeremy: Ah, incoming
Luka: You want to tell me what the hell happened yesterday?
Bonnie: Sorry?
Luka: Don't play dumb. You both were here and...
Jeremy: And?
Luka: And that's all I remember. One minute I'm playing pool and the next I'm waking up in a bathroom stall
Bonnie: Sorry, Luka, but everything seemed normal yesterday. I brought you a coffee and we played pool
Luka: See, I think you're lying
(Jeremy gets up)
Jeremy: And I think you need to back off
(Luka looks at them and leaves)
[Gilbert's lake house]
(Stefan enters while Elena is reading Jonathan Gilbert's journal)
Elena: Are you still mad?
Stefan: Yeah, I'm still mad
Elena: We had a difference of opinion, Stefan, we're not always gonna agree on everything
Stefan: Elena, you've agreed to sacrifice yourself to Klaus. To say that we have a difference of opinion is the understatement of the century
Elena: You would know
(He looks at the journal)
Stefan: What does Jonathan Gilbert have to say?
Elena: A lot. It's insane the things he wrote in his journal that he kept from the founding families. Stuff that nobody knows. Stuff that... You never told me
Stefan: We were, uh... We were angry at the founding families for what they did to Katherine. We wanted revenge. I didn't know about Jonathan Gilbert's ring yet. I didn't know that he would... that he would survive
Elena: He describes you as a monster
Stefan: That's what I was. I want you to know the truth... But I want you to hear it from me. In the weeks after I became a vampire, I relished in it. I took it to the darkest place I could
1864
(Stefan is drinking blood from a woman, she's dead. Two women are dancing)
Stefan: Who wants to die next?
Woman 1: Me, I'm next
Woman 2: Me, you promised me
(He looks at the woman who's playing piano)
Stefan: What about you? You know if you don't pick up the tempo, you're going to lose your head. Snap. Snap
(He rushes over one of the women and drinks her blood. Damon arrives)
Damon: Company, brother?
Stefan: I brought enough to share
Damon: Are you mad bringing them here when the entire town is hunting us?
Stefan: Damon, if you're worried about the founding families, please don't be. They're all dead or about to be
(Damon rushes over one of the women and compels her)
Damon: Leave this place. Never think of it again
(He compels the other)
Damon: Same for you. Leave this place. Never think of it again
Stefan: Damon, don't be like this. I'm just having some fun
Damon: Staying alive is more fun, Stefan. We have to be more careful than this. More clever. Like Katherine was
Stefan: Look what that got her
Damon: I'm done here. With you. I'm leaving town
Stefan: You hate me. I know. I know. An eternity of misery and on and on. I know, but you don't have to leave town. Damon, I'll do better. I promise
Damon: No, you will get us k*lled. I'd rather leave you to do that to yourself.
(He leaves)
Nowadays
[Gilbert's lake house]
Stefan: I wasn't myself then. I was full of guilt. What I did to my father, to my brother. I had to turn it off. It was the only way I could survive
Elena: It sounds like you were Damon
Stefan: I was worse
[Mystic Grill]
(Alaric, Damon and Andie are at a table)
Damon: Other than the lecture on the history of Mystic Falls, did you get anything out of Elijah?
Alaric: No, it was boring. Of course, Jenna thinks he's charming
Damon: You sounded jealous. Sound a bit jealous?
Andie: Kinda do
Alaric: Maybe we shouldn't talk about this here
(He looks at Andie)
Damon: Andie, she's been compelled not to divulge my secrets. Haven't you?
Andie: Uh-huh. Mmm. My lips are sealed
(Damon and her kiss. Alaric looks at them)
Alaric: This is too weird
Damon: I just need the right opportunity
(He sees Jenna and Elijah)
Damon: Ah, there's Jenna with her new boyfriend. Hi
(Elijah and Jenna rejoin them)
Jenna: Hey, guys
Damon: So I hear you two had quite a meeting of historical minds today
Jenna: Yeah, I guess you could say that.
Alaric: Well, as much as I'd love to continue this, I've got papers to grade
(He gets up)
Andie: No, you know what? We should continue this. Let's have a dinner party
Damon: Ooh, my girl. Full of good ideas. I'll be happy to host. Say tonight. Maybe?
Andie: It's good for me. Jenna?
Alaric: I don't know if tonight works...
Jenna: I'm free
Elijah: It'd be a pleasure
Damon: Great
[The tomb]
(Katherine's body is desiccated. Damon gives her blood)
Damon: Great. Drink up. Good girl
(She drinks)
Damon: I've come bearing gifts. I didn't have time to properly shop, but I did get a couple of things. Hmm?
(He gives her some clothes. Katherine's normal again thanks to the blood)
Damon: Wow, that blood did the trick. You're almost pretty again
Katherine: What is it you want, Damon?
Damon: Guess who's back in town? Your old friend, John Gilbert
Katherine: Really. Why?
Damon: Says he loves his daughter, Wants to protect her from Elijah and big, bad Klaus
Katherine: Touching
(She gets up and takes a jacket from the clothes Damon brought)
Damon: Yeah, right. He told me this old wives tale about how to k*ll an Original
Katherine: And you want to know if it's true. If it was, I wouldn't tell you
Damon: Now, why not? I mean, you want Elijah and Klaus dead as much as I do
Katherine: Klaus, yes. Elijah, no. He's compelled me to stay in here. If he dies, I'm stuck forever
Damon: Sucks for you
Katherine: Forget it, Damon. k*lling Elijah would be a su1c1de mission. You can't do it
Damon: Can so
Katherine: Can't
Damon: Even with a dagger and a little white oak ash?
(She seems surprised)
Katherine: No. Damon, if you k*ll Elijah, then I'm stuck in here forever
Damon: You're really scared
Katherine: Just get me out of here first and then I'll help you. I'll... I'll help you k*ll Elijah or... or protect Elena. Whatever you want
Damon: I get you out of here and your ass is sipping Klaus-free margaritas on some unknown island somewhere. No way
Katherine: That's not true. I'll stay. Damon, please just don't do it
Damon: Well, thank you, you've told me everything I need to know
Katherine: I've told you nothing
Damon: You have. You have indeed confirmed that it is possible to k*ll an Original, which I will do tonight. Guess who's coming to dinner?
[Gilbert's lake house]
stefan: For weeks I kept spiraling. I was completely driven by the desire for blood. Hunt, prey, k*ll. That was all I knew
Elena: How come no one caught on to what you were doing?
Stefan: Mmm. There was a w*r going on. The thing about wartime. Endless, anonymous blood supply
1864
[The woods]
(Stefan is drinking blood on a dead man when he sees a woman. he follows her and turns around her to finally jumps on her. but she turns herself above him. Her face has changed. It's Lexi)
Lexi: Ah! What kind of an idiot are you?
Nowadays
[Gilbert's lake house]
Stefan: Alexia Branson, as she was known back then
Elena: Lexi? Your best friend Lexi? That's how you met her? What was she even doing in Mystic Falls?
Stefan: She had heard it was a good place for vampires. You know, had no idea that they'd all been massacred. Needed a place to crash, so I brought her home with me
1864
(Lexi and Stefan enter the Salvatore's house)
Lexi: I'd say it isn't necessary to take me in, but you did try to eat me and well, with dawn coming, beggars can't be choosers. Or should they be?
(She sees girl's bodies)
Stefan: I, um...I meant to dispose of those
Lexi: My God, you're a ripper
Stefan: A what?
Lexi: There are good parts of being a vampire and there are bad parts. You're the bad parts. Well... we're going to have to change that
Nowadays
[Gilbert's lake house]
Elena: Are you okay?
Stefan: Talking about her brings up things I'd rather forget
Elena: Like Damon k*lling her?
[Salvatore's house]
(Jenna and Andie are preparing the table for the dinner)
Andie: So what's going on with you and Alaric? I feel like there's some tension
Jenna: I don't know. I really like him. It's more than like and I want it to work, but I can't help but feel that he's hiding something from me. And then I've got John whispering things in my ear about him
Andie: Like what?
Jenna: Things I don't want to believe. Things I don't believe, not if they're coming from John's mouth
Andie: Oh. Well, there you go, then. Trust is the key to any relationship. I mean, I am so grateful that Damon tells me everything
(Damon and Alaric are in the library)
Alaric: This is a bad idea
Damon: There's no such thing as a bad idea. Just poorly ex*cuted awesome ones. Here
(He gives him a glass of scotch)
Alaric: No. I don't like the idea of Elijah being in the same house with Jenna
Damon: Jenna's perfectly safe. Besides, it's just a fact-finding mission. It's totally harmless
Alaric: Just a fact-finding mission
Damon: Yeah
Alaric: Listen, no sneak att*cks. No surprise plans. Nothing that's gonna put Jenna in harm's way. Ok?
Damon: Scout's honor
(Andie arrives)
Andie: Hey, Jenna needs help with the wine
(Alaric leaves to help Jenna. Damon waits for him to be gone and then opens a wooden box from which he takes the dagger and the white oak ash)
Andie: What's that?
Damon: Dessert
(He puts some of the ash on the dagger)
Damon: Elijah's stronger than me. Faster than me. It's all about the element of surprise
Andie: Ah, it's too bad. I like him. He's very old-school. Classy
Damon: Which is why you should encourage the gentlemen to take their after dinner drinks in here while you do coffee in the kitchen with the girls
(He hides the dagger with the glasses)
Andie: Hmm. That is a little too sexist for me
Damon: Stop talking
(The ring bells. Jenna opens the door. It's John. Damon rejoins them)
Jenna: Who invited him?
Damon: John! Surprise... Leave
John: When Jenna told me she was coming to a dinner party for Elijah, I decided I couldn't miss out on all the fun and games
Alaric: There are not going to be any games tonight, John. It's just a friendly dinner party
Damon: What he said
[Gilbert's house]
(Jeremy opens the door to Bonnie)
Jeremy: Hey
Bonnie: Hey
(He takes her bag)
Bonnie: Thanks. That thing weighs a ton. I'm starving. You guys have any... food?
(She enters the house and sees a lot of candles in the living room)
Bonnie: Oh, God. Heh! This is a date
Jeremy: No, no it's not like a date, date. More of a hey, I kissed you, and I thought you liked it, um... hang thing
Bonnie: Jeremy, I need to make sure Elena is cool with this before anything else happens
Jeremy: I didn't realize my sister had approval over who I'm with
Bonnie: She's my best friend, I tell her everything and this whole hang thing might freak her out
Jeremy: All right, all right, so we'll, um... We'll hang out, eat some food, work on some spells. It's not a big deal. But you did... You did like it, right?
(She smiles)
Bonnie: Yeah. I liked it
[Salvatore's house]
(Damon opens the door. It's Elijah)
Elijah: Good evening
Damon: Thank you for coming. Please, come in
Elijah: Just one moment. Can I just say that if you have anything less than honorable intentions about how this evening is going to proceed, I suggest you reconsider
Damon: No, nothing, nothing dishonorable. Just getting to know you
Elijah: Hmm. Well, that's good. Because, you know, although Elena and I have this deal, if you so much as make a move to cross me, I'll k*ll you and I'll k*ll everyone in this house. Are we clear?
Damon: Crystal
(Elijah sees Jenna, smiles and rejoins her in the house)
Elijah: Jenna. Wonderful to see you again. How are you? Nice to see you. You look incredible
Jenna: Thank you
(They are all sitting around the table for the dinner)
Jenna: I hate to break it to you, Damon, but according to Elijah, your family is so not a founder of this town
Damon: Hmm, do tell
Elijah: Well, as I mentioned to Jenna earlier, a faction of settlers migrated from Salem after the witch trials in the 1690s. Over the next hundred years they developed this community where they could feel safe from persecution
Jenna: Hmm. Because they were witches
Andie: Yeah, but there's no tangible proof there were witches in Salem
Damon: Andie's a journalist. Big on facts
Elijah: Well, the lore says that there was this wave of anti-witch hysteria. It broke out in the neighboring settlement, so these witches were rounded up. They were tied to stakes in a field together and, uh, b*rned. Some say you could hear the screams from miles around us. They were consumed by the fire. Could you pass the...
Jenna: I wouldn't repeat this to the Historical Society
John: It's starting to sound a little like a ghost story to me
Damon: So why do you want to know the location of these alleged massacres?
Elijah: You know... a healthy historian's curiosity, of course
Damon: Of course
[Gilbert's lake house]
(Stefan rejoins Elena. She's reading one of Jonathan's Gilbert journal)
Elena: Jonathan Gilbert got crazier and crazier. I guess that's what happens when you spend your life obsessed with vampires
(She takes another journal and starts reading)
Elena: He researched the Originals
Stefan: You're kidding
(He rejoins her on the couch)
Elena: Later in life, Look
(She shows him the journal)
Elena: Pages and pages of questions and scribbles. What's that?
(She shows him a drawing of a dagger ans starts reading out loud)
Elena: "The wood from one tree and one tree alone, an ancient white oak would bring death to an Original vampire. When the tree b*rned, all hope was thought lost." He was trying to figure out how to k*ll an Original
(She reads out loud again)
Elena: "But the ash from the tree was saved and witches forged a dagger to which the ash could be bonded. This alchemic bond provides the necessary poison"
Stefan: Elena...
Elena: I wonder if this is true. I mean, do you think this dagger actually exists?
Stefan: I know it does... Because John gave it to Damon
Elena: John gave Damon the w*apon that's supposed to k*ll Elijah? This one?
(She reads out load again)
Elena: "It must be brandished by humans alone, for it will bring death to all demons who wield it"
Stefan: John's trying to get Damon k*lled
(Stefan rushes toward his phone)
[Salvatore's house]
Damon: Does anyone care for some cognac? I have a bottle I've been saving for ages
Alaric: None for me thanks. Nine bottles of wine is my limit
[Gilbert's lake house]
(Stefan is calling Damon but he doesn't answer)
Stefan: Why is your phone off? Call me
Elena: What's going on, Stefan?
Stefan: Damon is planning on k*lling Elijah. Tonight
[Salvatore's house]
(Damon looks at Andie)
Andie: The gentlemen should take their drinks in the study
Elijah: I have to say the food was almost as wonderful as the company
Andie: I like you
(Jenna gives some plates to John)
Jenna: Here you are, gentleman, make yourself useful. Hmm?
Alaric: Here, here. Put me to work
Jenna: Um, I got it
Alaric: Hey, Jenna, are you... are you ok?
Jenna: Yeah, fine, Ric
(She leaves. John looks at him)
John: I suspect this is my fault
(Alaric grabs him)
Alaric: What did you do now?
John: I merely mentioned you haven't been completely honest with her about your dead wife
Alaric: You son of bitch
John: I think I've been very clear with you, Ric. I want my ring back
(he leaves. Alaric's phone rings. He takes it)
Alaric: Hello. Slow down. Slow down. Stefan?
(Damon and Alaric are in the library)
Damon: So, let me guess. In addition to the moonstone, the doppelganger, the lion, the witch and the wardrobe, you need to find this witch burial ground
Elijah: Because I feel as though we've grown so close, Damon, I'll tell you yes. Do you know where it is?
Damon: Maybe. Tell me why it's so important
(He gives a glass of scotch to Elijah)
Elijah: We're not that close
(He looks at the books)
Elijah: It's quite a collection you have here
Damon: Hmm
Elijah: It's a funny thing about books. Before they existed, people actually had memories
(Damon takes the dagger but Alaric and Andie interrupt them so he hides the dagger again)
Alaric: Gentlemen, we forgot about dessert
Andie: Elijah
Elijah: Miss Star...
(He leaves with her. Alaric write on a paper that if he uses the dagger, he'll die with Elijah)
(Andie and Elijah rejoin Jenna and John)
Jenna: Sorry, guys, dessert is taking longer than I thought. I usually just unwrap food
Andie: So... I know this is a social thing, but I... I would really love to ask you some more questions about the work that you're doing here
Elijah: I'd love to answer
Andie: Great, that's so great
(Damon and Alaric rejoin them)
Andie: Ric, would you do me a favor and grab the notebook out of my bag?
Damon: Elijah, did John tell you he's Elena's uncle/father?
Elijah: Yes, I'm well aware of that
Damon: Of course, she hates him, so there's absolutely no need to keep him on the endangered species list
(John looks at him. Alaric doesn't find Andie's notebook)
Andie: Ric, it's in the front pocket. On the... you know what? Excuse me, guys. Sorry
(She rejoins Alaric)
John: What I'd like to know, Elijah, is how do you intend on k*lling Klaus?
Elijah: Gentlemen, there's a few things we should probably get clear right now. I allow you to live solely to keep on eye on Elena. I allow Elena to remain in her house living her life with her friends as she does as a courtesy. If you become a liability, I'll take her away from you and you'll never see her again
(Andie comes back with her notebook)
Andie: Ok. My first question is when you got here to Mystic...
(alaric arrives and drives the dagger through Elijah's heart. He's dead. Everyone's surprised)
Alaric: Now, get rid of him before Jenna comes back with dessert
Damon: All right
[Gilbert's lake house]
(Elena is outside. Stefan rejoins her)
Stefan: Elena, we need to talk about this
Elena: What good is talking if you and Damon are just gonna lie to me? If you don't like my decisions, that's fine. There's nothing I can do about that but if you ever go behind my back again, I'll...
Stefan: you're gonna what? Hmm? What are you gonna do, Elena?
Elena: It's my life
Stefan: Yeah, exactly. It's your life and I'm gonna do everything I can to make sure that you live it
Elena: Then what? This... this... this trip through the past. You being honest. Was there any truth to that or were you just distracting me?
Stefan: I was telling you about a time when I thought everything was lost. When I had given up because that's exactly what you're doing right now
Elena: That is not what...
Stefan: Yes, it is! Even if you don't want to admit it. You are giving up... and Lexi? she wouldn't let me give up. I'm not gonna let you
1864
(Stefan and Lexi are surrounded by dead soldiers. They're walking)
Lexi: All of these men are dead or dying. What does that make you feel?
Stefan: Nothing. I feel nothing
Lexi: Because you shut out the part of you that was human. The part that lets you feel
Stefan: Is that not the point?
Lexi: Well, there is a better way. You simply have to want it
Stefan: Is it better?
Lexi: Not at first. You can't choose what you feel. You have to let it all back in. The pain and the look in their eyes when you took their life. The cries of their loved ones
Stefan: Why would I want to do that? Hmm?
Lexi: Because once you can hurt, you can love. Love, Stefan. That's the point. Everything is intensified when you're a vampire. When we hurt, we really hurt. But when we love...
Nowadays
[Gilbert's lake house]
Stefan: Lexi showed me that there was another way. And from that day forward, I started fighting for it. For my own survival. That's all I want you to do. I just want you to fight for it
[Salvatore's house]
(Alaric and Damon are in the cellar with Elijah's body)
Alaric: Now, you said there wasn't going to be any v*olence
Damon: Says the guy that did all the k*lling
Alaric: Hey, I took the sh*t because I saw an opening, not because I planned to do this with Jenna in the house. Now, you can't lie to me like that. Hey, I am your friend, damn it. And you don't have any friends. So, no more lying
(Damon nodds and leaves)
[Gilbert's lake house]
Stefan: Elijah's dead. Alaric did it
Elena: Originals believed in truth and honor. It was forbidden for a vampire to k*ll another vampire. So, the dagger would take both lives. And as long as the dagger stays in place, the Original, for all intents and purposes, is dead
[Salvatore's house]
(Damon rushes in the cellar but Elijah's gone)
[Jonas and Luka's appartment]
(Elijah opens the door. He has blood on his chemise)
Jonas: What happened?
Elijah: I need you to find Elena. Now
[Gilbert's house]
(Bonnie is practicing on candles)
Jeremy: Ah... now, that is cool. How does it work?
Bonnie: It's called channeling. Siphoning power from something... another witch... the Moon, an element
Jeremy: So, technically, you could channel me
Bonnie: What?
Jeremy: Well, I'm an element, sort of. I mean, isn't... isn't the human body mostly water?
Bonnie: You're right. Let's... see what happens
(They get closer and she puts her hand on his chest but suddenly Jonas arrives)
Jeremy: What the hell are you doing here?
(Jonas throws him on the wall with his powers)
Bonnie: Jeremy!
Jonas: What did my son tell you? What did he tell you?
Bonnie: He told me about your daughter. I know Klaus has her and I want to help you get her back. But i want us to work together. Please
(He grabs her face)
Jonas: This is for your own good
(He cast a spell)
Bonnie: No! No. No!
(He releases her. She's crying)
Jonas: If any harm comes to my son because of what you did, you will answer to me
(He leaves and realeases jeremy from the wall. Jeremy rushes over Bonnie)
Jeremy: You ok? It's ok. What happened?
Bonnie: He took my powers
[Gilbert's lake house]
(Elijah arrives at the house. He grabs some rocks. Elena and Stefan are outside. Stefan hears something)
Stefan: He's here
(Elijah throws the rocks on the door. She explodes. Elena and Stefan are inside)
Elena: You have to go. I need to talk to him alone
Stefan: Elena...
Elena: Stefan, I'm ok. He can't come in the house
(Elijah gets closer to the house)
Elijah: You know, I might not be able to enter this house... But I'm a very patient man. I'll wait you out
(Elena goes at the door but stays inside)
Elena: They shouldn't have done what they did
Elijah: The deal is off
Elena: I'm renegotiating
Elijah: You have nothing left to negotiate with
(She has a Kn*fe in her hands. She shows it to him)
Elena: I'd like to see you lure Klaus into Mystic Falls after the doppelganger bleeds to death
Elijah: Stefan won't let you die
Elena: No, he won't. He'll feed me his blood to heal me, and then I'll k*ll myself and become a vampire, just like Katherine did. So unless you want that to happen again, promise me the same as before... promise me... You won't harm anyone that I love. Even if they've harmed you
Elijah: I'm sorry, Elena. I'm going to have to call your bluff
(She stabs herself in the stomach. She's bleeding. Elijah rushes over her but he can't get in)
Elijah: No! Yes. Yes, you can have your deal. Let me heal you
Elena: Give me your word!
Elijah: I give you my word!
(She goes outide and goes in his arms. He takes her in his arms but she kills him with the dagger. he falls on the floor. He's dead. Elena falls on the floor too. She's bleeding. Stefan rushes over her and gives her his blood. Damon rejoins them)
Damon: Little tip. Don't pull the dagger out
[Gilbert's house]
(Alaric rejoins Jenna in the kitchen)
Alaric: Where did John disappear to?
Jenna: Maybe the same place the rest of the dinner party ran off to
Alaric: Look, Jenna, I'm, uh... I'm so sorry tonight was...
Jenna: what happened to Isobel?
Alaric: You know, John should have never brought that up
Jenna: That's not an answer
Alaric: He's just trying to stir up trouble
Jenna: That's not an answer, either
Alaric: I can't talk about this, Jenna
Jenna: I keep thinking that maybe it's me. Maybe I'm reading into things. I should trust you. That's what a relationship is about, right? But then I think that maybe John is right and maybe you're not being honest with me. So... are you being honest?
(He doesn't answer. She cries)
Jenna: Right, ok. ...that was an answer
(She leaves. John enters the kitchen)
John: Well, that was awkward. You know, I can clear all this stuff up about Isobel tomorrow, if you want Or not
(He takes the magical ring off)
Alaric: You want it? Take it. It's yours
(He puts the ring on the table and smiles)
Alaric: And after what you did to Damon... You're gonna need it more than me
(He leaves)
[Salvatore's house]
(Damon, Stefan and Elena are in the cellar with Elijah's body. Damon search on him and finds the moonstone)
Damon: Uhh! What do we have here? A little moonstone bar of soap. I'll hold on to this
Elena: So, that's it. I mean, as long as we keep the dagger in there, then he stays dead
Damon: Pretty much
Elena: Ok, then... Good night. You know, you guys want me to fight, fine, I'll fight. But if we're gonna do this, you can't keep anything from me anymore. From this moment on, we're doing it my way
Damon: That seems fair
(She looks at Stefan)
Stefan: Okay
Elena: Okay
(She leaves)
Damon: Seems like she's had a change of attitude. How did you get through to her?
Stefan: I told her a little story about when I was making the wrong decisions and somebody showed me there was a better way
Damon: Lexi?
Stefan: Yeah. You remember her?
1864
(Damon is leaving. Lexi intecepts him)
Lexi: Going somewhere?
Damon: You must be the vampire I hear my brother complaining about
Lexi: That would be me. And you must be the brother who hates him
Damon: We are at irreparable odds
Lexi: You know the hate you're feeling towards Stefan? Towards everyone? You think you have it under control but you don't. It will get the best of you
Damon: Help him. He needs it
Lexi: I'll help him
Nowadays
[Salvatore's house]
(Damon goes in his bedroom and hears someone in the shower)
Damon: Andie? I thought you left
(He goes to the shower and when he sees that's Katherine, he's stunned)
Katherine: Hello, Damon. Hey, do you have a robe?
Damon: How did you get out?
Katherine: I knew that if I begged you not to k*ll Elijah, that's exactly what you'd do. Little known fact... Originals can compel vampires. But as soon as they die, the compulsion wears off
Damon: And you knew
Katherine: And I'm still here. I didn't run. I meant what I said to him, Damon. I'm going to help you
(She's naked)
Katherine: So... How about that robe?
