[Chicago]
(Klaus and Stefan are in a clothing store, drinking champagne and waiting for Rebakah whose trying clothe)
Rebekah: There has to be more to this dress
Klaus: There's not
(She gets out of the fitting room. She wears a dress)
Rebekah: So women in the 21st century dress like prostitutes, then. You know, I got dirty looks for wearing trousers
Klaus: You wore trousers so women today could wear nothing
Rebekah: And what is this music? It sounds like a cable car accident
Stefan: It's dance music
Rebekah: People dance to this?
Stefan: Hmm
Klaus: Are we done?
Rebekah: And why are you so grumpy?
Klaus: I needed one thing from you for my witch to find out why my hybrids are dying, one thing. Your necklace. And you lost it
Rebekah: I didn't lose it. It's just been missing for 90 years
(She looks at Stefan)
Rebekah: So what do you think?
Stefan: I like it
(She doens't seem saisfied)
Stefan: What? I said I like it
Rebekah: I can always tell when you're lying, Stefan
(She goes back into the fitting room. Klaus look at Stefan)
Klaus: Nice one, good work
Stefan: You're the one that pulled the Dagger out of her
Rebekah: I heard that
Stefan: All right. I'm going to get some fresh air
(He gets up. Klaus pours himself some champagne. Stefan is abou to go out and sees Kaherine across the street. She makes him a sign so he follow her)
[Gilbert's House]
(Damon and Elena are cooking)
Damon: I just don't know why you want to bring chili to a potluck. Everybody brings chili
(Alaric enters)
Damon: Hey, Ric
Alaric: What's up?
Elena: What time do you want to go to the Lockwood party?
Alaric: Ah. Those founders parties aren't really my thing
Damon: Show up, there's going to be nine other people that brought chili
Elena: It's an old family recipe, ok?
Damon: Yeah! I know. I knew your old family. They made sucky chili
(He smiles. She laughs. Alaric look at them)
Alaric: Why are you here, exactly?
Damon: She knows
Elena: He thinks I'm going to break. I'm not going to break. I am just going to keep making chili, pretend like I didn't just spend the entire summer looking for someone who didn't want to be found
Damon: She's in denial
(She whispers)
Elena: I'm not in denial
Damon: No?
(He gets closer to her and touches her necklace)
Damon: You're still wearing this necklace. Isn't this the reminder of your unbreakable bond with Stefan?
(Alaric watches them)
[Chicago]
(Stefan rejoins Katherine)
Stefan: What the hell are you doing here?
Katherine: You two look chummy. Klaus' your new bestie?
Stefan: You know, if he finds out you're in Chicago, you're dead
Katherine: Happy to know that you still care. So tell me if I'm wrong... Rebekah's necklace that Klaus is looking for... That's the necklace that you gave to Elena
Stefan: Bye, Katherine
Katherine: Hey, hey. Wait. You're up to this thing, tell me...
Stefan: They don't know where the necklace is. I just have to keep them from figuring it out. I have it all under control
Katherine: Please, tell me you have a better plan
(He doesn't answer)
Katherine: You do. Come on, Stefan. You're not the diabolical type. Whatever you're planning,
it's not going to work
Stefan: Well, if the most diabolical woman I know can't seem to figure it out, then I must be doing something right
Katherine: Uh-huh. I forgot. You're bad now. Don't get too cocky. Klaus is smarter than you. He's smarter than everyone. And I've heard about that sister. Be careful. She'll ruin you
Stefan: Happy to know you still care
(He leaves)
[Gilbet's House]
(Jeremy is in his bedromm, asleep. He wakes up. Anna's lying next to him. He's shocked and gets up)
Anna: Jeremy
Jeremy: Anna!
Anna: You heard me
Jeremy: What are you doing here?
Anna: Wait, like heard me, heard me, or did it sound more like a...
Jeremy: Where have you been?
Anna: I need to know you can hear me
Jeremy: You drop in, you tell me not to trust Vicki, and then you disappear?
Anna: Jeremy! Tell me you can hear me
Jeremy: Yeah, yeah, I can hear you, all right? What the hell! What is it?
Anna: I've been trying to get you to hear me for days. Yelling your name and screaming
Jeremy: You have?
Anna: What changed? I've been trying to get through to you, why now?
Jeremy: I was dreaming about you
Anna: You were dreaming about me?
(She sits down on the bed. He sits down next to her)
Jeremy: I can't believe this is actually happening. That you're actually here
Anna: I'm here
(Someone rings the bell. Elena opens the door. It's Caroline. She has a dish in her hands)
Caroline: I come bearing gifts
Elena: Please say that's not chili
(Bonnie comes in)
Elena: Bonnie!
Bonnie: I'm back!
(They embrace each other)
Bonnie: I leave town for the summer and everything goes to hell for the both of you
(Caroline and Elena look at each other. Jeremy goes down the stairs)
Jeremy: Bonnie!
Bonnie: Jeremy
(She rushes over him and the kiss and embrace each other. He looks over Bonnie's shoulder. Anna's here, looking at him)
[The street]
(Liz and Damon are walking)
Damon: So mayor Lockwood called your gay ex-husband to t*rture your vampire daughter
Liz: Yes. I've been keeping him detained to make sure the vervain's out of his system. So you could, you know...
Damon: Can't we just k*ll him?
Liz: No, Damon! He's Caroline's father
Damon: He sounds like a douche-bag to me
Liz: Yeah, well, just 'cause you and I are on ok terms doesn't mean that I'm a suddenly a big advocate for your "lifestyle"
Damon: Is that what you told him when you two got divorced?
[A cellar]
(Liz and Damon go down the stairs)
Liz: Double check him for vervain before you compel him
(They enter the cellar where Caroline wes detained. Bill is tied to a chair and has scotch tap on his mouth. Damon removes it)
Bill: You brought another vampire into this?
Liz: It's the best thing for all of us, Bill
Damon: So, Bill, I hear you're into the whole daddy-daughter vampire t*rture thing
Bill: I was trying to help her
Damon: Well, if there's anyone who doesn't need help, it's your annoying control freak of a daughter
(He bites him on the neck and drinks some of his blood)
Damon: He's vervain-free
Liz: Just erase his memory, Damon
Damon: So, Bill, I have a question. What makes you think that you can change the basic nature of a vampire?
Bill: The mind's a powerful tool. It can be trained and retrained. You just have to be strong enough
Damon: Oh, yeah? I completely agree. I actually happen to love mind control, myself
(He compels him)
Damon: You will leave town immediately. All you remember is you came to bring your daughter back to school shopping
[Gloria's bar, Chicago]
(Stefan enters. Gloria is sitting at a table. Klaus and Rebekah anre at the bar)
Rebekah: You left us
Stefan: Yeah, sorry. Retail therapy was making my head explode
Klaus: Tell me about it
(Stefan looks at Gloria)
Stefan: What's she doing?
Klaus: She's failing
Gloria: It's hard to find something when you don't have anything to go on
Rebekah: So use me. I only wore it for a thousand years
Gloria: See? Now this one offers a solution
(Rebekah sits on the table)
Gloria: All right, give me your hand, sweetheart
(Rebekah gives her her hand)
Stefan: She's, uh, she's looking for the necklace, huh?
[Gilbert's house]
(Elena, Caroline and Bonnie are in the kitchen)
Bonnie: The problem with my dad's normal side of the family is normal made for a really boring summer
Caroline: After the last few days, I would k*ll for a normal family
(She helps Elena decant the Chili in a casserole)
Caroline: Since when did you learn how to cook?
Elena: Damon helped a little
Bonnie: Damon's helping you cook now?
Elena: Both of you stop judging. He's just trying to be a good... ow!
Caroline: Ahh! Did I splash you?
Elena: No, no, my necklace
(She takes it. Her skin has burn)
[Gloria's bar, Chicago]
(She still has Rebakah's hand)
Gloria: I can sense something
(Stefan seems a little bit worried)
[Gilbert's House]
Elena: It b*rned me
Caroline: Maybe it's a sign you shouldn't be wearing it
Bonnie: Caroline...
Caroline: What, I'm just saying. If you're going to be "cooking" without Stefan
Bonnie: Let me see it
[Gloria's bar, Chicago]
(She casts a spell)
[Gilbert's House]
(Bonnie looks at the necklace and touches it but it's like an electrik choc. Elena drops it. Bonnie and Elena look at each other. Elena seems shocked)
[Gloria's bar, Chicago]
(Gloria drops Rebekah's hand and looks at Klaus and Stefan)
Gloria: I found it
Rebekah: So where is it?
Gloria: It doesn't work like that, doll. I get images. There's a girl with her friends...
Rebekah: Yes, a dead girl with dead friends, if I don't get my necklace back
Gloria: Well, I'll have to dive back in to get the details
Klaus: So dive
Gloria: I need more time. And space. You're harshing my ju-ju
Klaus: We can wait
Gloria: I'm sure you can. But that's not what I asked
Stefan: Hey. Hey, you know, why don't we just come back later. I'm hungry anyway. I'll let you pick
who we eat
(Klaus looks at Rebekah and they leave with Stefan)
[Lockwood's Mansion]
(Elena and Caroline are sitting apart from the party on a bench. Bonnie rejoins them with her grimoire)
Bonnie: I have an identification spell that might be able to tell me what magic affected the necklace.
(Elena gives her her necklace)
Bonnie: It's going to take a while, so tell me if anyone's coming, ok?
(Caroline looks at Elena)
Caroline: So you're not, like, switching Salvatores, are you?
Elena: What?
Bonnie: Caroline...
Caroline: Stay focused
(She looks back at Elena)
Caroline: As your friend who worries for you daily, what is the deal with you and Damon?
Elena: There is no deal. He's been just as focused on finding Stefan as I have
Caroline: Yeah, but that doesn't make him any less Damon. If my own father, who I love dearly, can't change me. No one's changing Damon. Not even you
Elena: Look, why are we even talking about this?
Bonnie: Hey guys
(The necklace is levitating)
Caroline: What are you doing?
Bonnie: I'm not doing anything. It has its own magic
(Caroline and Bonnie look at Elena)
(Damon is looking at the Chili made by the founding families. Alaric rejoins him and gives him a beer)
Damon: I'm going to let you in on a little secret... Founders parties are just an excuse for the council to gather in back rooms and plot against vampires
Alaric: Hey, uh, I think you need to take a b*at with Elena
Damon: Excuse me?
Alaric: Whatever it is you two have going on, I think it's a bad idea
Damon: I don't really think it's your problem, Ric
Alaric: It is my problem. I'm supposed to look after her, and this is me doing that
Damon: What do you think I'm doing?
Alaric: What I think is you need to take a b*at
(Liz rejoins them)
Liz: Damon? Sorry. Uh, the mayor just called the council meeting
[A warehouse, Chicago]
(Klaus and Stefan are on a couch drinking from two girls. Rebekah looks at them)
Rebekah: My girl's dead. I'm bored
(Klaus looks at Stefan)
Klaus: You weren't kidding about being hungry
Stefan: Yeah. It's been a long day
Klaus: Try being related to her
(Klaus laughs)
Rebekah: You're being mean. And why are you being mean? You used to love me
Klaus: It's been 90 years, Rebekah. Give him a minute
Rebekah: Why are you taking his side?
Klaus: Because, my dear sister, I feel pity for any man who doesn't give you what you want
Rebekah: Will you stop making me out to be a brat? I am not a brat!
Klaus: A thousand years of life experience says otherwise
Stefan: Well, you're no picnic, either. I mean, I've only spent one summer with you and I feel like I want to blow my head off
(She laughs)
Rebekah: Fantastic
(He gets up)
Stefan: I need to go
(He leaves)
Rebekah: Where's he going?
Klaus: To write a name on a wall. It's a long story
[Lockwood's Mansion]
(Jeremy enters an empty room and closes the door)
Jeremy: Anna? Look, where are you? We don't have much time
(She appears)
Anna: We've got all the time in the world
Jeremy: I'm sorry about before. I just got, um, distracted
Anna: It's fine. I get it. Why haven't you told her?
Jeremy: Well, she's been gone all summer
Anna: Yeah, I know that. Now why haven't you told her, really?
Jeremy: I don't know. You know, I don't even understand how any of this is possible
Anna: Well, it's kind of a push and pull. I'm pushing from the other side trying to contact you, and sometimes, like just now, if you pull...
Jeremy: The other side? Is that... Is that what it's called?
Anna: That's what I call it. I'm all by myself here. It's like I'm a part of your world, only no one can see me. I'm just... On the other side
Jeremy: Wait, what about Vicki?
Anna: Whenever you say you see her, I feel something. A darkness. And when I try to tell you not to let her in, something crazy happens. Like, she's trying to push me out
Jeremy: Like the windows breaking
Anna: Just be careful. Try not to let her in. 'Cause she can't get through if you're not open to it. You don't understand how amazing it is to finally be able to talk to you. I'm all by myself here. I mean, I don't have anyone
(She touches his hand but he doens't seem to realise until he sees it. She takes her hand back)
Anna: I'm sorry. I know you can't feel anything
Jeremy: Do it again
(He raises his hand. She touches it and smiles)
[Gloria's bar, Chicago]
(Stefan enters and sees Gloria)
Gloria: There you are
Stefan: Thought you were resting
Gloria: Well, now we both have a secret
Stefan: What did you see?
Gloria: It's what I heard that's interesting. You know, the girls with the necklace, they were talking about you
Stefan: Yet you didn't tell Klaus. Why?
Gloria: 'Cause I wouldn't help that hybrid half-breed with anything. The necklace is a talisman from the original witch herself. I want it
Stefan: Well, I'm sorry. I can't help you
Gloria: Don't be difficult. You know, I'd hate to have to tell Klaus what a liar his sidekick is
(He rushes over her but she turns her head, looks at him and provocs a headache.
Gloria: Guess I've got to get it out of you the hard way, huh?
(He falls on the floor)
(Stefan is shirtless and lying on a table. There's candles everywhere. Gloria has a Kn*fe)
Stefan: What is this? Why can't I move?
Gloria: Relax. It's just a little paralysis spell. Nothing major
(She cuts his forearms with the Kn*fe. There's a recipient on the floor to collect the blood)
Gloria: Just got to get the information out of your pretty little head. You know, witches nowadays, they're into that new age stuff, but... I'm a little more old school voodoo
(She takes little iron hooks and puts it in the forearms wounds. He screams)
Gloria: This will stop that pesky healing
Stefan: I won't tell you anything
Gloria: You don't have to
(When the blood falls on the recipient, there's some smoke)
Gloria: You feel that? That's your essence. Your spirit. It lets me make a connection. Herbs help, too. Diviners, sage, witch hazel
(She takes something)
Gloria: But my personal favorite...
(She rubs her hands)
Gloria: Vervain
(She puts her hands on his chest. He screams)
[Lockwood's Mansion]
(It's the secret coucil meeting)
Liz: There have no been no incidence of question since spring. It's been quiet
Carol: Anyone else have anything to add to the minutes? Damon?
Damon: Ah, no, I think the sheriff covered it, mayor Lockwood. Looks like we've made it through the worst
Carol: Well, I have nothing new to add, so thank you all for coming
(Everyone leaves. Carol, Damon and Liz stays. Bill enters)
Bill: I have a question. Do you three think that everybody on the council is clueless...Or just stupid?
(They look at him, surprised)
[Gilbert's House]
(Bonnie and Jeremy are in his bedroom. There's candles and grimoires)
Bonnie: Ok, tell me if you see anything in these grimoires that involves precious medals or a symbol that resembles a necklace
Jeremy: Well, can't you just ask all the dead witches you were channeling?
Bonnie: I don't have access to them anymore. They cut me off
Jeremy: Since when?
Bonnie: Since I brought you back to life. I messed with the balance of nature and there were consequences. Hey. I'm sorry. I know I should have told you. I told Elena when it happened. I just didn't want you to feel weird about it, you know?
Jeremy: Hey, no, no, look, you don't have to apologize for anything. Ok? You didn't do anything wrong
Bonnie: Elena said you've been having kind of a hard time since then
Jeremy: No, I'm fine. You know, just been, ah, a little out of it lately. So should I concentrate on the older books? Or, uh, I mean, how old is this necklace?
Bonnie: Old
(She laughs. he sits down. He opens a grimoire, takes a necklace and looks at it. Anna is behind Bonnie)
Anna: Jeremy. The darkness. It's here
(Suddenly all the grimoires are on fire. They're surprised)
Bonnie: Jeremy!
(She removes the grimoire on Jerem's lap with her powers and puts out the fire with her powers)
Bonnie: Are you ok?
Jeremy: What the hell just happened?
Bonnie: I have no idea
[Gloria's bar, Chicago]
(Stefan is still on the table. She takes some red pouder and rub her hands with it)
Gloria: I'm impressed. You've got discipline, Stefan. It's not going to do you much good, but... Just let go, honey
(He puts her hands on his chest. His skin burns and he screams)
Gloria: There you go, there you go
(She see images of Stefan and Elena together and him giveeng her the necklace)
Gloria: There's the girl with the necklace. You love her. You'd do anything for her. And you have. A lot of darkness, a lot of guilt. All to keep her away from Klaus. Why would he be interested in one girl?
Stefan: Don't do this. Don't do this
(She sees the sacrifice and Klaus k*lling Elena)
Gloria: She's the doppelganger. She's supposed to be dead, and that's why Klaus can't make hybrids, isn't it?
(She laughs)
Katherine: This is creepy
(Gloria turns herself. Katherine's here and she puts a stake through her neck. Gloria falls on the floor, dead. Katherine looks at Stefan)
Katherine: Maybe you do need my help, after all
[Lockwood's mansion]
(Elena and Caroline are talking)
Caroline: Did Stefan ever tell you where he got the necklace?
Elena: No. And I never asked. Hopefully Bonnie will be able to figure it out
(Alaric rejoins them)
Alaric: Please tell me it's time to go
Elena: Beyond. Where's Damon?
Caroline: Probably off somewhere doing bad things to good people. Consider me the honesty police
(Sunddenly she's not okay)
Elena: What is it?
Alaric: What the matter?
Caroline: It's my dad
(Elena and Alaric turn themselves to look at Bill)
Elena: Why would he even show up here?
Caroline: I don't know. But I can't...
Elena: I get it. I'll call you later
(Caroline leaves and goes upstairs)
Alaric: Ok, what's that all about?
Elena: Speaking of doing bad things to good people...
(They leave. Damon rejoins them)
Damon: Wait, wait, Houston, we have a problem
Elena: Where have you been?
Damon: Managing Bill Forbes. Apparently he's impervious to compulsion
Alaric: How?
Damon: I have no idea. But he threatened to out me. Don't get me started on the irony of that
Elena: What did you do to him? How do you know the compulsion doesn't work?
Damon: That's not the most important piece of information I mentioned, Elena
Alaric: What does he want?
Damon: He wants to control the council. Says it's been compromised
Alaric: It has!
Damon: He wants to put vervain in the town's water supply
Elena: Maybe it's not a bad idea. I mean, it'll help you keep yourself in control now that Stefan's not here to...
Damon: To what? To keep me in check? Make me behave? I should have k*lled him this morning
Elena: He's Caroline's dad, Damon
Damon: Yeah, and when I k*ll him, she'll have one more parent than we do
Alaric: Oh, come on, Damon!
Damon: You're repeatedly k*lling my buzz today, Ric. Step aside
Alaric: Yeah, it's not going to happen
Damon: Your temporary funeral
(He kills Alaric by breaking his neck)
Elena: Damon, no! What is wrong with you?!
(He looks at her and leaves)
[Gloria's bar, Chicago]
(Stefan is putting Gloria's body in a sheet)
Katherine: I've been thinking about your diabolical plan
Stefan: Oh. Do tell
Katherine: Well, you must know that Klaus is too paranoid to ever fully trust you. But the sister, she loves you like it was yesterday. She's the easier Mark. But you can't just pretend to care, because Klaus will know better, so you do the opposite. You bond with him; Make her feel left out. That will only make her want you more
Stefan: Oh! So you mean, I'm, uh, I'm taking a page out of the Katherine Pierce playbook
Katherine: The only question is why, Stefan? I mean, I get it, you want to keep Klaus away from Mystic Falls, but...What else do you expect to get from it?
Stefan: You know what's funny? You keep talking to me like I actually trust you enough to tell you anything
Katherine: Oh, come on, Stefan, we're beyond that. I saved you from Hilda the high voodoo priestess
Stefan: Ok. I knew them, back in the twenties. They were running from someone. Someone who scared them
Katherine: A hunter. I heard stories about him centuries ago
Stefan: Don't you want to know why an original vampire who can't be k*lled is afraid of a vampire Hunter?
Katherine: If you're planning on making a move against Klaus... I want in
Stefan: That's good. It's good to want things, Katherine
Katherine: Stefan...
Stefan: Katherine. I'm in this alone. If you're looking for a diabolical partner in crime, I suggest you look elsewhere
(He leaves with Gloria's body on his shoulder)
[Lockwood's House]
(Tyler enter his bedroom. Caroline is sitting on his bed)
Caroline: How was football practice?
Tyler: What are you doing here?
Caroline: Hiding out from my dad. He's here
Tyler: Are you ok? Do you want me to kick his ass?
Caroline: Yes. No. I bought him the shirt he's wearing, it is really expensive
(He touches her shoulders)
Caroline: And through everything... He's still my dad. You know?
(He embraces her and touches her hair)
Caroline: God, you reek!
Tyler: What?
Caroline: That is bad
Tyler: No, this? This is sexy
Caroline: No! It's really bad
(He takes off his shirt and they start to make out. She's on top of him when her phone rings)
Caroline: Oh! Hang on, my phone
Tyler: Oh, come on!
(She answers)
Caroline: I'm only answering in case it's a friend emergency
Elena: It's an emergency
(Bill is in the office, pouring himself some scotch. Damon enters)
Damon: Whoa, whoa. Is that scotch? I figured you for an abstainer
Bill: Everything in moderation. Keeps the mind clear from...influence
Damon: Like vampire compulsion
Bill: Yeah, I tried to tell you...
Damon: Yeah, yeah, powerful tool. Got it. I'm impressed. Can't say I've ever seen that before
Bill: Well, it takes a certain human focus. It's a skill that I've been honing for decades. Plus, your technique... Is a little lazy
Damon: Duly noted. I'm curious. Why not just expose us to the council?
Bill: I know you think I'm the bad guy here, Damon, but I would never expose my own daughter to those morons
Damon: It's a pretty risky move, taking me on, don't you think?
Bill: I knew what I was risking when I didn't leave town, but I figured... You're not self destructive enough to k*ll the sheriff's ex-husband
Damon: Makes you the third person to underestimate me today
(He rushes over him, bites him and drinks his blood. He stops. Bill is on his knees)
Damon: Whoo. You know, with all this behavioral modification going on around here, I almost forgot how good blood tastes when it's...Fresh
Bill: What are you going to do? k*ll everybody who discovers your secret?
Damon: No, I'm not going to k*ll you, Bill. I'm just going to find pleasure in perfect little moments like this
(He bites him again but Caroline stops him, throws him against the wall and then throws him through the window. The she rushes over Bill)
Caroline: Daddy! Are you ok?
Bill: I'm fine
Caroline: Here. It'll heal you
(She bites her wrist)
Bill: I said I'm ok
Caroline: Grow up
(She makes her dad drink her blood)
Damon: Let me teach this ass-wheel a life lesson
Caroline: Just get out of here
Damon: Or what?
(She hits him on the face and he throws her on the desk. Then he strangles her)
Damon: I'm stronger than you, little girl
(Elena enters)
Caroline: Well, I'm angrier!
(She breaks his arm. Then she takes his head, nuts it and throws him against the wall. Then she gets up and leaves with Bill. Elena's still here)
Damon: Bummer. I love a good girl fight
(He has blood on his mouth)
Elena: You can't do this anymore, Damon. Not in this town. Not around me
Damon: Why not? It's nothing I haven't done before. Why is it suddenly so important for everyone to keep me in check?
Elena: Because I don't want you to be what other people think that you are
Damon: What? A monster? Sorry to disappoint you, Elena, but last time I checked, I was still a vampire!
Elena: I guess I wish that you didn't have to act like one!
Damon: I am not Stefan. How about you stop trying to turn me into him?
(He leaves)
[Gilbert's House]
(Jeremy is in the bathroom, washing his hands)
Bonnie: Hey, Jeremy. There's ashes everywhere
Jeremy: I'll go grab the vacuum
Bonnie: No, I got it
(She leaves. Anna apears)
Anna: Are you ok?
Jeremy: Don't
Anna: What?
Jeremy: Bonnie's here, ok? You've got to stop
Anna: I was just trying to warn you. I felt something bad. Dangerous
Jeremy: You... you just can't pop up every time she and I are together
Anna: It's a two-way street, Jeremy. I only pop up when you're thinking about me. That's why you haven't told her. Isn't it? You don't want her to know you still care
Jeremy: I can't do this right now. I can't. This is just too much
Anna: I'm sorry. I shouldn't have said that
Jeremy: Good-bye, Anna
Anna: Don't! Jeremy, please. Don't shut me out
(Her voice is less clear. Jeremy closes his eyes and when he reopens them, Anna's gone. Jeremy goes in his bedroom. Bonnie's there)
Bonnie: What's wrong?
Jeremy: You asked me before if something was wrong and I said no
Bonnie: Yeah
Jeremy: That was a lie. I was lying to you. When you brought me back to life...
(Anna is in the bathroom, looking at them and crying. Her voice seems to be far away)
Anna: Say you can hear me, Jeremy. Please!
Jeremy: Something Happened...
Anna: I am all alone!
[A warehouse, Chicago]
(Stefan looks at the coffins and stops in front of one. He touches it but Rebekah's enters so he removes his hand)
Rebekah: You're back. Finally. Nik went to check on the witch
(She looks at the coffin)
Rebekah: Dreary, isn't it? The family cargo
Stefan: Hmm. Why don't you undagger them?
Rebekah: Because he would hunt me down and k*ll me. He's a vindictive little bastard, my brother
Stefan: But you still care about him. Why?
Rebekah: Well, I hated him for a long time. It was exhausting
(She sits down on the coffin and Stefan sits next to her)
Stefan: You know, when I met you two, you were both on the run
Rebekah: Also exhausting
Stefan: Who were you running from?
Rebekah: What do you mean?
Stefan: Last night I saw you, there was a man looking for you. You both seemed afraid. I just... I wouldn't think Klaus would be afraid of anybody
Rebekah: No one in this world is truly fearless, Stefan. Not even Niklaus
Stefan: Who was that man?
Rebekah: I can't. Please
(She gets up)
Rebekah: If Nik knew we were talking about this, he would...
Stefan: No, no, no, I'm sorry
(He gets up)
Stefan: Just forget I asked. Ok?
Rebekah: He told me about the girl you loved. The one that d*ed. He also told me that you're only with him because he saved your brother
Stefan: It's true
Rebekah: I think he secretly admires that about you. You'd sacrifice anything for family. Don't tell him I told you that
Stefan: Your secret... Is safe with me
(She kisses him)
Rebekah: Do you think you'll ever love anyone like you loved that girl?
Stefan: One day, maybe
Rebekah: I can always tell when you're lying, Stefan
Stefan: What? I'm not...
Rebekah: Don't bother. Your kiss already gave you away
(Kaus enters)
Klaus: Gloria's gone. She's cleared out. We need to find a new witch immediately
(He stops and looks at them)
Klaus: What's going on?
Rebekah: Something's wrong. He was asking about Michael. He's not with us, Nik. I can sense it
Stefan: She's wrong. Klaus...
(Klaus rushes over him)
[Salvatore's House]
(Damon pours himself a drink and another drink. Then he goes to the coach. Alaric is still dead. Damon waggles his glass next to Alaric's ear)
Damon: Wake up!
(Alaric wakes up)
Damon: It took a bit longer than usual, huh? Might want to get that ring checked. Hope it's not going bad
Alaric: You k*lled me
Damon: You pissed me off
Alaric: You k*lled me!
Damon: Ric, no hard feelings, all right? I was on a bit of a tear. Everyone was trying to tell me how to behave
Alaric: Well, maybe they finally realized you're just a d*ck
(He gets up and leaves)
[Mystic Falls' Square]
(Elena and Caroline are speaking)
Caroline: I'm not going to say I told you so
Elena: Thank you
Caroline: But I did tell you
Elena: Ok, you and Damon were both right. I was trying to change him. But if he wants to be in my life...
Caroline: Wait. I... It's been a long week, so I'm just going to be blunt. It doesn't matter what he does, Damon's gotten under your skin
Elena: That's not true
Caroline: God, just admit it, Elena, ok? You are attracted to him! In all of his bad brother glory
Elena: No
Caroline: Wait, no, you're not attracted to him, or no, you just won't admit it?
Elena: I can't, Caroline! If I admit it, if I even thought it for just a second... What does that say about me?
Caroline: It says you're human, Elena
(She sees her father)
Elena: Do you need me to...
Caroline: No, I got it
(Caroline rejoins Bill)
Caroline: Hey
Bill; Hey. Don't worry, I'm going to go back home before somebody kills me
Caroline: How's your...
Bill: Oh, healed
(He shows her his neck)
Bill: Thank you. For coming to my rescue
Caroline: You're welcome
Bill: Bye, Caroline
Caroline: Daddy. I'm going to be ok
Bill: You're a vampire, sweetheart. I don't think you'll ever be ok again
[Lockwood's mansion]
(Alaric is talking with Liz and Carol)
Liz: I understand where you're coming from, but...
Alaric: The Gilbert family is a founding family, and they deserve to have a voice on the council. I'm taking care of them, I should be that voice
Carol: That's not the way it works, Mr. Saltzman
Alaric: Oh, really? Well, then tell me how it does. The council's job is to protect the people of this town. Now your daughter's a vampire and your son's a werewolf. So who's looking after the actual people? Some of them may be family or friends, but they are still supernatural. They don't follow our rules or our laws, they look after themselves, and that's what we need to do. I'll see you at the next meeting
(She gets up and leaves)
[Mystic Grill]
(Katherine rejoins Bonnie at a table outside)
Elena: Hey there
Bonnie: Hey
Elena: I just saw Jeremy. He said that you still have my necklace?
Bonnie: Yeah, I haven't figured out what's going on with it yet
Elena: I know. But I just... I feel weird without it. The whole Stefan of it all
Bonnie: Okay
(She gives her back her necklace)
Bonnie: Did Jeremy also tell you that he's been seeing ghosts of his dead girlfriends this summer?
(Elena is surprised)
Elena: What?
Bonnie: Vicki and Anna. He's been talking to them
Elena: You're kidding
Bonnie: I wish. It's because I brought him back to life. The witches said there would be consequences. Guess they were right
(She turns his head to look at the waitress)
Bonnie: You know, what am I supposed to...
(Elena has disapeared. It was actually Katherine)
[Salvatore's House]
(Damon opens the door. Elena's here)
Damon: I'll accept written apologies only
(She smiles. It's Katherine, not Elena)
Katherine: Are you two lovebirds fighting already?
Damon: Katherine. Wonderful. What do you want?
Katherine: I'm just a girl looking for a partner in crime. Feel like hitting the road? Getting the hell out of dodge?
Damon: Impeccable timing. I was told I need to take a b*at
Katherine: Is that a yes? I'll drive
Damon: Why not? Walls are starting to close in on me around here. Where are we going?
Katherine: Away from here. That's all I'm going to give you for right now. But believe me... It's good
(She shows him Elena's necklace)
[A truck]
(Stefan wakes up. Klaus' looking at him)
Stefan: Just give me a chance to explain myself, ok?
Klaus: No need. I'm not mad, I'm just curious. Rebekah seems to think you're holding onto something. A piece of your old life. The thing is, she's got flawless instincts, borderline supernatural. So I thought I would check it out. See for myself what it is you've been hiding
(He opens the truck. They're in Mystic Falls)
Klaus: Welcome back to Mystic Falls, Stefan
