[Salvatore's House]

(Stefan calls someone)

[Woods]

(Klaus is in the woods. His phone rings. He answers. It's Stefan)

Klaus: Portland is fantastic once you can get over all the whiney music and healthy-looking people. It's literally a breeding ground for werewolves

Stefan: Your father's dead

Klaus: What did you say to me?

Stefan: Oh, my mistake. Not your actual father, and not dead. Mikael. Daggered. What do you want me to do with the body?

Klaus: Well, first, I want you to explain to me exactly what happened

One Hour earlier

[Salvatore's House]

(Stefan, Elena and Damon enter the library)

Stefan: All right, we'll say that Mikael followed Elena in here. He tried to grab her so he could use her as bait

Elena: And you, what, vervained him?

Damon: No, we vervained him. The guy's an original. Make it realistic

Stefan: Ok. Fine. We vervained him and in the process discovered that he had a dagger

Elena: Which he planned to use on Rebekah. But instead...

Stefan: We drove it through his heart

Elena: And what happens when he asks to see Mikael's body?

Damon: Good point. You, my brother, have been compelled to do what Klaus says. So if the idea is to lure him back here and k*ll him, the last thing we need is you getting tripped up and tongue tied

Stefan: Well don't look at me. I'm just in charge of getting him back here

Elena: Klaus is smart. If we tell him that Mikael's dead, he'll want proof

(Mikael enters)

Mikael: Then I shall be dead

(He puts a dagger and a vial of white oak ashes on the table)

Elena: What if he wants to see in person?

Mikael: Well, it means our plan is working. Klaus will absolutely want to see my body. You lure him here, and I will k*ll him

Stefan: With what? Those daggers won't work on him

Mikael: Well, I'm in possession of a stake fashioned from the wood of the ancient white oak tree The one that left these ashes when it b*rned

Damon: Where is it?

Mikael: Not here. Knowing its location is my insurance policy

(He puts the dagger in the vial containing the white oak tree ashes)

Stefan: Against what?

Mikael: You leaving this in my heart. You see, a vampire can't dagger an original without dying. So... it falls to you

(He holds the dagger toward Elena)

Elena: You want me to actually dagger you?

Mikael: Klaus will leave nothing to chance. Especially when it comes to trust

Back to one hour later

[Salvatore's House]

Klaus: I want to see him. I want to see his rotting body for myself

Stefan: Well, he's here

(He gets up and looks at Mikael's body. Elena and Damon are here)

Stefan: Come by whenever

Klaus: If you're lying to me, Stefan, your compulsion will expose you. So answer with your life. Is what you're saying the truth?

Stefan: It's true. I saw it with my own eyes

Klaus: I want to talk to Rebekah

(He looks at Damon and Elena and turns himself)

Stefan: That's not a problem. She's right here

(He looks at Rebekah and gives her the phone)

Rebekah: Hello, Nik

Klaus: Rebekah, love. What's this I hear about Mikael's tragic run-in with a dagger?

Rebekah: It's true. He's finally out of our lives for good. I miss you. I'm miserable here

Klaus: I'll be home soon

Rebekah: Good. I'll see you then, brother

(She hangs up, looks at Mikael and then gives the phone to Stefan)

Rebekah: He bought it. He's coming home

(Elena is relieved. Rebekah leaves the room. Stefan looks at Elena and Damon)

Damon: Now was that easy or what?

Elena: Let's just get this over with

(She removes the dagger from Mikael)

[Salvatore's House]

(Rebekah is painting her nails. Mikael wakes up)

Rebekah: Finally. Took you long enough

Mikael: Rebekah...

Rebekah: Whatever fatherly rubbish you're thinking, save it. Nothing you say matters to me

Mikael: I see. Where's my dagger?

Rebekah: Elena has it. So you can forget your plans to use it on me

Mikael: You were never the one I was after

Rebekah: Nik was my family. If you were after him, you were after me

Mikael: He blinded you, Rebekah. He k*lled your mother

Rebekah: I know what he did. And he'll pay for it with his life. But Nik was not born a k*ller. None of us were. You did this to us when you turned us into vampires. You destroyed our family. Not him

Mikael: Rebekah…

(She leaves)

[Gilbert's House]

(Elena is looking in her closet. Bonnie is sitting on her bed, looking at the symbols pictures)

Elena: I hate everything in my closet. I have nothing to wear to homecoming

Bonnie: So don't go. Let's stay home, order take-out and over-analyze ancient hieroglyphic thingies with Alaric

Elena: We have to go. Caroline will k*ll us

Bonnie: Oh, Caroline actually has a date

Elena: You know that you can talk to me about Jeremy, right?

Bonnie: I don't need to talk about it. He fell in love with his ghost girlfriend and lied about it. What's done is done

Elena: You have to talk about it. He hurt you, Bonnie. I'm mad at him too

Bonnie: You're mad at your little brother. You'll yell at him a little, teach him a life lesson. You can't really be mad like I'm mad

Elena: Bonnie…

Bonnie: And you shouldn't have to be. He's your brother. So no, I can't really talk to you about it

[Salvatore's House]

(Elena and Damon are in his room. There's a lot of w*apon on the bed)

Elena: We can't trust Rebekah not to turn on us

Damon: Oh, really? Because those original vampires are usually so reliable

Elena: Bonnie was right. Rebekah may be mad at Klaus now, but he is her brother

Damon: Her lying, mama-k*lling, dagger-happy brother. The wolfsbane's ready

(She rejoins him in the bathroom. The wolfsbane is in the sink)

Elena: There are too many things that can go wrong with this plan. Too many people who can make it go wrong

Damon: Well, I am formulating a secret contingency plan

Elena: Really? What is it?

Damon: Well, if I told you, then it won't be a secret

(Stefan enters)

Stefan: I need to borrow a tie

Damon: You have your own ties

Stefan: I'm 162 years old and I'm going to a homecoming dance. I need better ties

Elena: You could not go

Stefan: I'm compelled to protect you. And if I look at your track record at high school dances, it's pretty tragic. My luck you'll go ahead and get yourself m*rder*d by the homecoming queen

(Elena is closing one of the wolfsbane grenades but Damon stops her)

Elena: I know how to do it. Alaric taught me

Damon: Elena, if this thing blows up in our face just remember only one of us heals quickly

(Stefan comes back with ties)

Stefan: Ugh, please tell me that you have a better plan than wolfsbane grenades

Damon: Never you mind, brother. The less you know, the better

Stefan: My freedom from Klaus rests entirely upon you two executing your plan perfectly. So, excuse me if I'm a bit cynical

Elena: You're the one that we should be worried about. If Klaus asks you one wrong question, whole thing falls apart

Stefan: You do have reason to worry. But if I look back at our history of epic plan failures, it's usually because one of us let our humanity get in the way. So if I'm taking odds on how this thing goes down, it's certainly not gonna be me who screws it up. I'll see you at Homecoming. I can't wait

[Mystic Falls' High School]

(Tyler and Caroline are preparing the bus for homecoming)

Caroline: Hey, can you hand me the glitter g*n?

(He gives it to her)

Caroline: Thanks

Tyler: Hey, can't we ditch the decorating and go grab a bite?

Caroline: Oh, I have a thermos in my bag

Tyler: I mean a real bite. Rebekah knows some people who like to be fed on. They're into it. We don't even have to compel them

Caroline: Ok, first of all, I finally almost just got your mother to stop hating me. So I probably don't want to get caught in some weird vampire threesome with her son. And secondly, quit hanging out with Rebekah, the evil blood slut

Tyler: Just keep the claws in tonight at the dance, ok? For me?

Caroline: So who has the misfortune of being compelled to be her date?

Tyler: Matt said he'd take her

Caroline: Wait, you set her up with Matt?

Tyler: She wants to go to the dance, and he didn't have anyone to go with. He drinks vervain, she can't feed on him. What's the big deal?

Caroline: The big deal, Tyler, is that Matt is an innocent, good person who should not be going to dances with evil blood sluts

Tyler: Matt's a guy, Caroline. And Rebekah's hot. Don't overthink this

Caroline: This is a sire thing, isn't it? Please tell me this is some weird family extension of your sire bond to Klaus

Tyler: I'm here hanging streamers and have glitter all over my hands. If I'm sired to anybody, it's you

[Salvatore's House]

(Rebekah is in Stefan's bedroom, getting ready for Homecoming. She's wearing the red dress Elena picked. She's looking at herself in the mirror when Elena enters the room)

Elena: Getting a head start, huh?

Rebekah: Embarrassing truth. This is my first high school dance

Elena: Ever?

Rebekah: I never really had time for high school before. Nik and I were always moving around. Running. Anyway, I didn't want to leave anything to chance. Have you heard any more from him?

Elena: No. But I'm sure that when he does return, he'll do it with flair

Rebekah: And Damon and my father are all set with their plan?

Elena: Yes

Rebekah: Don't tell me. I don't want to know. I just want to go to the dance and leave the rest to Mikael

Elena: I know it's really hard. So thank you for helping us get Klaus back into town

Rebekah: Just be careful. I've been running for 1,000 years for a reason. Mikael is not a good person. And he definitely can't be trusted. No one in my family can

Elena: Are you ok?

Rebekah: I've spent my whole life loving and hating my brother with equal measure. I never thought that I would be the one to help drive a stake through his heart. No tears. I... I don't want to ruin my makeup. How do I look?

Elena: You look amazing. But you're missing one thing

(She shows her the necklace)

Rebekah: My mother's necklace

Elena: You should wear it tonight. May I?

(Elena puts the necklace around Rebekah's neck)

Rebekah: Thank you

(Elena finally drives the dagger through Rebekah's heart)

Elena: I'm so sorry. I can't leave anything to chance either

(Rebekah falls on the floor, dead)

(Elena is sitting on Stefan's bed. Damon puts a sheet above Rebekah)

Damon: In the back. Harsh

Elena: It had to be done. Rebekah was never going to be completely on our side

Damon: Hey, I'm not judging you. It's very Katherine of you

Elena: Not the way to make me feel better about myself, Damon

Damon: It was a compliment... Sort of

Elena: Stefan is right. Someone's going to let their humanity get in the way and screw this whole thing up. And it's probably going to be me

Damon: Elena, you just daggered somebody. You're going to be fine

Elena: But I feel bad about it. I care too much. That's the problem, Damon. I'm the weak link

Damon: If it makes you feel any better, she's not really dead

Elena: Do you trust him? Mikael?

Damon: Nope

Elena: What about Stefan?

Damon: No. Not as long as he's under Klaus's control

Elena: Then we need a better plan

Damon: I know what to do. You're just not going to like it

Elena: Why not?

Damon: Because when this all goes down, I don't want you having any part of it

Elena: What does that mean?

Damon: Do you trust me?

Elena: Yes

Damon: Then you have nothing to worry about

[Mystic Falls' High School]

(Everyone is in front of the gym. The police are here. Tyler rejoins Caroline)

Caroline: What happened?

Tyler: The gym's flooded. The dance is canceled

Caroline: Excuse me? Well, what are we supposed to do now?!

[Salvatore's House]

(Elena is on the phone with Caroline)

Elena: So does that mean I don't have go?

Caroline: You wish. No, Tyler's moving the party to his house

Elena: Kegs and beer pong for homecoming? That's... different

Caroline: Just say you're still coming

Elena: I'll see you there

(Someone knocks on the door. Elena opens. It's Matt, wearing a tuxedo for Homecoming)

Matt: Elena

Elena: Matt, hey. Um, slight problem with your homecoming date

Matt: What happened?

Elena: How would you feel about a back-up date?

[Lockwood's Mansion]

(My morning jacket is performing outside. Everyone is cheering the band. The house is packed with all the students. Caroline and Bonnie arrive)

Caroline: How did he plan a better party than me so fast? Is that a band outside?

Bonnie: Who are all these people?

Caroline: This is weird. Where is Tyler?

(She goes into the house. Bonnie follows her)

(Stefan is outside. Tyler rejoins him)

Tyler: Hey, Stefan. What's up?

Stefan: Hey, Tyler. Nice party you got going on here

Tyler: Thanks, but I'm not the one throwing it. I'm just doing what Klaus wants

Stefan: What do you mean?

Tyler: It's not a party, man. It's a wake

(Klaus goes on the stage and take the mike)

Klaus: Good evening everyone! I want to thank you all for being here with me to celebrate. It's been a long time coming

(Matt and Elena arrive)

Elena: So much for homecoming

Matt: This is weird. Us being here together

(She sees Caroline)

Elena: There's Caroline. She doesn't know anything. Act normal

(Caroline rejoins them)

Caroline: Hey, Klaus is here

Matt: What?

Caroline: Yeah, apparently our sired hybrid friend Tyler thought it'd be ok to let his "master" throw a party. Well, I expected more surprise

Elena: I've learned not to be surprised by anything Klaus does. I'm going to go find Bonnie

(She leaves. Caroline looks at Matt)

Caroline: What's going on? And what are you two doing here together? I thought you were supposed to be with Rebekah

Matt: Plans changed. I need a drink

(He leaves)

(The band is still performing. Elena is going down the stairs. Stefan is with Klaus)

Stefan: Quite the homecoming

Klaus: I've been planning my father's funeral for 1,000 years. Granted, in no version of it were any of these people invited. But you get the idea

Stefan: So what now? You just stop running?

Klaus: Now I reunite my family

Stefan: Your family. You mean, the people you cart around in caskets?

Klaus: None of that matters anymore. Mikael's gone. Bygones will be bygones

(A girl with a tiara passes by them)

Klaus: Seems the homecoming queen still walks among the living, which leaves me to believe Rebekah isn't here. Where is she?

Stefan: I have no idea. I thought she was coming with Matt

Klaus: Oh, be honest now, Stefan. Where's my sister?

Stefan: I said I have no idea. Now, would you like me to take you to your father?

Klaus: Well, it wouldn't be a party without the guest of honor, would it? Bring him to me

Stefan: All right. Perhaps there's something in it for me? My freedom from your compulsion

Klaus: Oh, you want your freedom? Well, once he's dead and his w*apon destroyed, you'll have your freedom. It'll be my pleasure to give it back to you

(Stefan leaves)

[Salvatore's House]

(Damon is pouring himself a glass of blood. Mikael enter the room)

Mikael: Did my daughter go to the dance?

Damon: Yep. You missed the photo op. Did you get the stake?

Mikael: I did

Damon: I'm not going take your word for it. No offense to your honor and all

Mikael: None taken

(He takes the stake from his jacket. It's not an usual stake.)

Damon: Fancy. May I?

Mikael: It's the only w*apon on this Earth that can k*ll an original. So I think I'll hold on to it. No offense

Damon: I'd offer you a drink, but Katherine tells me you're more of a vampire on the rocks kinda guy

Mikael: Well, technically, you could still offer

Damon: Why feed on vampires? Don't tell me it's for the smooth aftertaste

Mikael: I had a hand in creating vampires. But the blood lust was never my intention. Over the centuries, I learned to feed from the predator not the innocent

(Stefan enters)

Stefan: Change in plans. Klaus is back. He's at the Lockwood's and he wants your body delivered to his doorstep

Mikael: I'm afraid he's in for a colossal disappointment

Stefan: Well, he's certainly not going to come here. I hope your plan didn't depend on that

Damon: Didn't depend on that

Stefan: But you do have a plan. Right?

Damon: Oh, yeah. We got a plan, right? It just doesn't involve you

(Mikael rushes on Stefan and drink his blood. Stefan collapses)

Damon: Couldn't just break his neck?

Mikael: It certainly occurred to me

(He leaves. Damon takes his jacket and a bag, looks at Stefan and leaves)
[Lockwood's Mansion]

(Tyler and Klaus are outside, on the stairs looking at the band and the crowd)

Tyler: My mom would seriously freak if she saw all these people here

Klaus: Your mother won't be a problem. I compelled her to go to church and pray for your friends

Tyler: What are you talking about?

Klaus: I want you to look around. There's Bonnie. There's Elena and Matt. There's your pretty little girlfriend Caroline. Their big dance was wrecked tonight and who came through with a party? You did. What a pal. But who are all these other people here?

Tyler: I have no idea. I've never seen half these people in my life

Klaus: Well, that's because I invited a few dozen friends of my own

(He shows him some people)

Klaus: That's my friend Mindy. I picked her up along the way in Kansas. Did you know that there's an entire bloodline of werewolves in the heartland? There's Tony, from North Dakota, and let's not forget the Seattle contingent

Tyler: Hold on. Are those people all hybrids?

Klaus: Well, they also love a good party. And they, like you, are sired by me. They wish to serve their master. So if anyone should so much as make a move against me, they may feel obligated to retaliate. Feel free to warn your friends

(He leaves)

(Tyler is in his bedroom with Caroline)

Tyler: What are you up to with Klaus?

Caroline: Nothing

Tyler: He's on to you, Caroline. Whatever you all think you're about to pull off, he's 2 steps ahead of you

Caroline: Ok, I don't know what you're talking about

Tyler: You're lying to me

Caroline: Heh, you know, actually, I'm not. I don't know anything. And even if I did, I wouldn't tell you about, because you're sired to team Klaus now. And you can't be trusted. So can we please just go back to the party?

(She goes toward him but he injects her vervein in the neck. She collapses and falls on the floor)

(Elena is listening to the band, alone. Klaus rejoins her. She's very uncomfortable)

Klaus: Where's your date?

Elena: Getting me a drink

Klaus: Well... Seems I have you to thank for Mikael's demise

Elena: He came at me. I didn't have a choice

Klaus: Still I'm impressed. It's not easy for a human to dagger an original

Elena: It wasn't the first time

Klaus: Right. Elijah. You seem nervous

Elena: I'm not nervous. I just don't like you

Klaus: Right. Straight to the point then, shall I, love? People have been after me for 1,000 years. And I am always one step ahead. So whatever it is you're thinking of trying, go for it, give it your best sh*t. You won't succeed

(Damon arrives. One hybrid is here)

Hybrid: Invite-only, vampire

Damon: Here's my rsvp. Hybrid

(Damon rips his heart out and enters the house)

(Caroline is unconscious. Matt checks up on her)

Matt: What did you do to her?

Tyler: It's just vervain. She'll be fine. But I need you to get her out of here as fast as possible

Matt: What's going on?

Tyler: Something's going down against Klaus, and this house is full of hybrids like me that can't let anything happen to him

Matt: What do you mean, "can't"?

Tyler: I can't explain it. I can't fight against it. I just know that I need to protect him no matter who gets in my way

Matt: By attacking Caroline?

Tyler: I'm protecting her, Matt! This is the only way to keep her safe. Please. Just get her out of here safely. Get everyone out

(He leaves)

(Tyler is downstairs. Damon catches him and goes with him in his father office)

Damon: As the host, you should know those hybrids don't make the best first impression

Tyler: Whatever move you're making, Klaus is going to be ready for you. He'll k*ll anyone at this party if he has to

Damon: Tell someone who cares

(They fight. Damon is about to k*ll him but Bonnie arrives and provoque a migraine with her powers. They scream and put their hands on their head. Tyler finally collapses)

Damon: Ugh! What the hell is wrong with you? You're not supposed to witchy migraine me

Bonnie: You weren't supposed to k*ll Tyler

Damon: He tried to bite me

(The stake to k*ll Klaus is on the floor. Damon takes it)

Bonnie: What is that?

Damon: Nothing

Bonnie: Oh my God. Is that the... Why do you have it?

Damon: Because I'm the only one who could get inside the house

(Klaus is playing beer pong. Mindy arrives)

Mindy: You have a visitor

Klaus: Well, tell my visitor I'm on the brink of victory here

Mindy: He said his name is Mikael

Klaus: Then we mustn't keep him waiting. Move everyone out back. I'm going to have a little chat with my dad. Tony, you know what to do

(He goes to the front door. Mikael is outside)

Mikael: Hello, Niklaus

Klaus: Hello, Mikael. Won't you come in? Oh, that's right. I forgot. You can't

Mikael: Or you can come outside if you want

Klaus: Or I can watch my hybrids tear you limb from limb

Mikael: They can't k*ll me

Klaus: True, but it'll make a hell of a party game. All I have to do is rub these 2 fingers together, and they'll pounce

Mikael: The big bad wolf. You haven't changed. Still hiding behind your playthings like a coward. You only forget. They may be sired by you, but they're still part vampire. And they can be compelled by me

(Mindy arrives with Elena. Mikael takes her)

Mikael: Come out and face me, Niklaus, or she dies

Klaus: Go ahead. k*ll her

Elena: No, Klaus. He'll do it

Mikael: If she dies, this lot will be the last of your abominations

Klaus: I don't need them. I just need to be rid of you

Mikael: To what end, Niklaus? So you can live forever with no one at your side? Nobody cares about you anymore, boy! Who do you have other than those whose loyalty you've forced? No one. No one

Klaus: I'm calling your bluff, father. k*ll her

Mikael: Come outside and face me, you little coward. And I won't have to

Klaus: My whole life you've underestimated me. If you k*ll her, you lose your leverage. So go ahead. Go on. k*ll her. Come on, old man. k*ll her. k*ll her!

(Mikael laughs. Klaus sheds a tear)

Mikael: Your impulse, Niklaus. It has and will forever be the one thing that keeps you from truly being great

(He stabs Elena. She falls on the floor. Klaus is shocked. Mikael laughs. Damon rushes over Klaus and stabs him with the stake. Klaus screams. The hybrids start moving. Damon missed the heart. Elena gets up. It was actually Katherine. She smiles)

Mikael: Katherine...

(She pulls the pin out of two wolfsbane grenades)

Katherine: Kaboom!

(She throws the grenades on the hybrids. Damon takes off the stake and is about to drive it through his heart but Stefan rushes over him and pushes him away from Klaus. Stefan is above Damon)

Damon: What are you doing?!

(The stake is next to Klaus. He takes it and rushes over Mikael. He drives the stake through his heart. Mikael burns. Stefan is still above Damon)

Damon: What the hell did you do?

Klaus: He's earned his freedom.

(Stefan gets up and looks at Klaus)

Klaus: Thank you, my friend

(He compels him)

Klaus: You no longer have to do as I say. You're free

(Stefan closes his eyes and reopens them. Then he turns himself. Damon has disappeared)

[Caroline's House]

(She's on her bed. Tyler enters)

Tyler: Are you ok?

Caroline: What do you think?

Tyler: I'm sorry I stabbed you. It was the only thing I could think of to get you out of there

Caroline: "Oh, hey, Caroline, I'm worried about what might happen this evening. So maybe you should just go home and watch 'Dancing with the stars?'"

Tyler: If you knew all your friends were going to get together and try to take down Klaus, would you have left?

Caroline: No

Tyler: So there you go. I saved you from your own stubbornness

Caroline: This isn't funny, Tyler! How am I supposed to be with you when you're sired to him?

Tyler: I need you to understand, Caroline

Caroline: Understand what? That you're one of the bad guys now?

Tyler: Understand that this is who I am. There's nothing that I can do about it. Klaus can't be k*lled. I can't be fixed. Understand that I'm ok with it

Caroline: But how are you ok with it?

Tyler: Because it's better. I don't have to turn, Caroline. Not unless I want to. I never have to go through that pain again. If being sired to Klaus is the price that I have to pay, so be it

Caroline: But you don't have any true control over yourself

Tyler: I never did before. The full moon controlled me. After everything that we've been through you've been there for me through all of it. Don't turn your back on me now

Caroline: Tyler...

Tyler: Right

Caroline: I just...

Tyler: Got it

(He leaves)

[Salvatore's House]

(Elena is with Damon)

Elena: How did this happen?

Damon: We thought of everything, Elena! Klaus having hybrids. Mikael turning on us. We brought in Katherine so you weren't in danger. Anything that could have gone wrong, we were prepared

Elena: I don't understand. Stefan wanted Klaus dead more than anything. That's what we were counting on

Damon: We blew it

Elena: Where's Katherine?

Damon: She ran for the hills, like usual. The minute things got bad. Who blames her? Klaus would have crushed her. I had him, Elena. I had Klaus. This could've all be over!

(He throws the bottle in the fireplace. Elena catches him and takes his face in her hands)

Elena: Damon, hey... Hey, listen to me we'll survive this. We always survive. Trust me

Damon: We're never getting Stefan back. You know that, don't you?

Elena: Then we'll let him go. Ok? We'll have to let him go

(His phone rings. He answers. It's Katherine)

Damon: Not interested in the play by play of our failure right now, Katherine

Katherine: I'm just calling to say goodbye. I don't know what to tell you. You had a good plan, Damon. And that's high praise coming from me

Damon: It's not very comforting at the moment. You going back into hiding?

Katherine: At least my life's not boring. Goodbye, Damon

Damon: Take care of yourself, Katherine

(They hang up)

[Katherine's Car]

(She's driving. Stefan is on the passenger seat)

Katherine: He doesn't know where it all wrong

Stefan: He doesn't need to know

(She stops the car)

Katherine: Are you good from here? I need to put about a million miles between myself and Klaus as soon as possible. Stefan…

Earlier

[Salvatore's House]

(Stefan is awake. Katherine is here)

Katherine: Stefan

Stefan: Elena

Katherine: Not exactly.

(She throws a blood bag next to him)

Katherine: Pep up. I only got a minute before they realize that I'm not at the party

[Lockwood's Mansion]

(We see again the conversation between Klaus and "Elena" at the party. But now we know it was Katherine)

Klaus: You seem nervous

Katherine: I'm not nervous. I just don't like you

Klaus: People have been after me for 1,000 years. And I am always one step ahead. So whatever it is you're thinking of trying, go for it, give it your best sh*t. You won't succeed

Katherine: It won't be for lack of trying

(She moves forward but Klaus stops her)

Klaus: Now you'd be smart to tell Damon to mind his manners tonight. 'Cause if I die, I've already insured that he'll die along with me. Even in death, my hybrids have their orders. So you k*ll me, you're k*lling him too

Back in the present

[Katherine's car]

Stefan: How did you know that I would stop Damon?

Katherine: I didn't. I was just hoping that you would want to

Earlier

[Salvatore's House]

(Stefan finishes drinking the blood bag and gets up)

Katherine: If Klaus gets k*lled, he's taking Damon down with him.

Stefan: So pull the plug on the plan

Katherine: And face the wrath of Mikael? We'll all be dead. Ok, look. I know that you've turned off your humanity and that you don't care. So there's only one solution

Stefan: And what's that?

Katherine: Care, Stefan. Care enough to save Damon's life. Because I'm going back to that party and I'm seeing this plan through. Klaus will be k*lled and we'll have our freedom. But then Damon will be dead. Your brother will be dead, Stefan. Unless you care enough to do something about it

Back in the present

[Katherine's car]

Stefan: You've wanted Klaus dead for 500 years. Why would you risk all that just to save Damon's life?

Katherine: I wasn't just trying to save Damon's life, Stefan. I was trying to save yours. Your humanity. Let's just say I like the old you better

Stefan: Nah. Come on, Katherine, you don't care about anyone but yourself. You never have

Katherine: You and I both know that that is not true. I loved you. I loved Damon too. Humanity is a vampire's greatest weakness. No matter how easy it is to turn it off, it keeps trying to fight its way back in. Sometimes I let it

Stefan: I can't let it all back in. I don't want to. Not after everything I've done

Katherine: Of course you don't want to. But if you don't let yourself feel, you won't be able to do what I need you to do next

Stefan: What's that?

Katherine: Get mad

[Salvatore's House]

(Rebekah's body is in a cell. She still has the dagger in her. Her phone rings. It's Klaus)

[Somewhere]

(Klaus is somewhere, on the phone, trying to reach Rebekah. There are trucks around him)

Klaus: Rebekah, where are you? Pick up the phone, darling. Daddy's dead. It's time for a family reunion

(He hangs up. His phone rings. It's Stefan)

Klaus: Stefan. Miss me already?

Stefan: I'm just calling to thank you for my freedom

Klaus: I like to believe I'm a man of my word. More or less

Stefan: The thing is, it came at too high of a price. You took everything from me, Klaus

Klaus: Let bygones be bygones. Trust me, resentment gets old

Stefan: You know what never gets old?

(Klaus opens the truck. The coffins have disappeared)

Stefan: Revenge

Klaus: No!

Stefan: What's the matter, Klaus? Missing something?

(Stefan's in a house. Ha have the coffins around him)

Klaus: What are you doing?

Stefan: I'm just enjoying my freedom

Klaus: I will k*ll you and every one you've ever met

Stefan: You do that and you'll never see your family again. I wonder, Klaus. As someone who's been one step ahead for 1,000 years. Were you prepared for this?
