[Lockwood's cellar]
(Caroline is trying to hold the gate. Matt is holding the g*n. Tyler, the wolf, tries to break the gate)
Matt: Caroline, let me help!
Caroline: Get back, I got it!
Matt: Caroline, the door's not going to hold
Caroline: Come on! Tyler, please!
(Matt sh**t Tyler several times)
Caroline: Matt! No, hey, no! It's Tyler!
Matt: He's trying to k*ll us!
Caroline: Wait!
(Tyler is laying on the floor)
Caroline: He's wounded
Matt: Caroline, stay back
Caroline: We can go around him
Matt: Are you nuts?
Caroline: You're not going to sh**t him again, ok? Matt, take my hand
(Matt is holding the g*n toward Tyler)
Matt: I got it
Caroline: Matt, take my hand
(He takes her hand. They rushes outside the cellar with Caroline's super speed)
[Alaric's apartment]
(Katherine and Damon are looking at his werewolf bite)
Katherine: So that's what a werewolf bite looks like
Damon: Yep
Katherine: It's not that bad
Damon: Will be
(He gets up)
Katherine: So that's it? You're just... Going to die?
Damon: Well, that depends. You know anything about a cure?
(She doesn't answer)
Damon: Me, either
(He puts he's jacket on)
Katherine: 145 years and no last good-bye?
Damon: You don't get a good-bye
(She intercepts him)
Katherine: No. Don't leave mad
Damon: Us ending on up on good terms isn't exactly on my bucket list, Katherine
Katherine: Klaus made me call Jenna to lure her out. There was nothing that I could do. I didn't have a choice
Damon: That's why I gave you the vervain. So you had a choice
Katherine: It was her or me. I chose her
Damon: I helped you. You owed me. Now when Klaus dies, you're going to walk out of here without a scratch
and Elena's aunt dies. Somehow you're the only one that wins. How'd that happen?
Katherine: I didn't let love get in the way
Damon: Enjoy eternity alone, Katherine
Katherine: What are you going to do?
Damon: I'm going to offer myself as a replacement to Klaus
Katherine: He won't take you. He saw your bite; he said that your blood is impure. I'm sorry, Damon. But Jenna's dead, there's nothing you can do about it
[A quarry]
(Elena and Jenna are sitting on the ground)
Jenna: oh, my head. What's wrong with me?
Elena: Do you remember what happened?
Jenna: You called me. You were so scared. Oh, ah, I should have realized that it wasn't you. The second I walked out of the house, someone grabbed me. A vampire
Elena: Klaus. It was Klaus
Jenna: He made me drink his blood. And I don't... I don't remember anything after that
(She looks around her)
Jenna: Where are we? What happened?
Elena: We're at the quarry. He brought us here
Jenna: Why don't I remember anything?
Elena: Jenna, do you remember... When I told you how someone becomes a vampire?
Jenna: Yeah, if you die with vampire blood in your system, it's... Oh, god. He k*lled me
Elena: Jenna, listen to me. Listen to me; everything's going to be ok. I'm going to get you out of here
Jenna: I'm a vampire?
(Greta arrives)
Greta: And I bet you're hungry
(Elena sees a rock on the floor and tries to rush over it but Greta throws her away with her powers and creates a circle of fire around Elena. She can't get out of the circle)
Greta: Don't bother trying to get through. I spelled the circle. You're trapped. No matter what you do
Elena: Greta... Please, just- just let her go
Greta: Klaus chose her
(She cuts her wrist with the rocks and gets closer to Jenna)
Greta: Drink it
Elena: Jenna, don't!
Jenna: I can't
Elena: Let her go. Hey!
(Jenna drinks the blood from Greta's wrist)
Elena: No!
Greta: That's enough
(She gets up)
Elena: It's going to be ok
(Greta creates a circle of fire around Jenna)
Elena: Look at me. Hey, look at me
(Jenna turns her head. Her face has changed)
Elena: It's gonna be ok. It's gonna be ok
[Abandoned house]
(Jeremy and Bonnie are reading grimoires)
Jeremy: this is useless. All these grimoires. There has to be something in here to keep Elena from becoming a vampire
Bonnie: And we'll keep looking. Until the last minute
(Elijah, Stefan and Alaric arrive at the house)
Elijah: The sacrifice is completed in stages as the full moon sets. First the werewolf is k*lled, then the vampire. Finally the doppelganger. Once Elena dies, the curse will be broken. Klaus will become hybrid
Alaric: So when do we att*ck?
Elijah: Elena's death will activate his dormant werewolf side. He'll be vulnerable during the transformation. That's when bonnie comes in
Stefan: And you're sure bonnie will survive this?
Elijah: If she can deliver him to the brink of death, I'll finish the job myself
(Stefan phone rings. He answers. It's Damon)
Stefan: Damon
Damon: You're not going to like what I'm about to say
Stefan: Cut to the chase. Is the sacrifice happening or not?
Damon: It's happening. I tried to stop it, but it got... Complicated
Stefan: We're sticking with the original plan. We're meeting bonnie right now
Damon: He's got Jenna, Stefan
Stefan: What?
Damon: He got Katherine to lure her out of the house
(Stefan looks at Alaric)
Alaric: What is it? What's wrong?
Damon: He's going to use her as the vampire in the ritual
Stefan: Oh, my god
[A quarry]
(Jenna and Elena are in separate circles of fire. Elena is looking at Jenna, who's sitting on the ground)
Elena: How are you feeling?
Jenna: I feel like myself... Only not. Everything is brighter. The fire's hotter. Part of me is terrified, but there's another part of me that doesn't want to feel anything
Elena: Vampires can turn off the part that's human. That's the part that hurts
Jenna: I'm gonna die, aren't I?
Elena: No! Jenna, I'm not going to let that happen. I don't care what I have to do
(They hear someone screaming)
Jenna: Who's that?
Elena: That must be the werewolf
(Greta arrives with Jules and throws her on the ground. Jules is hurt)
Jules: What's happening to me?
Greta: I cast a spell to slow down your transformation. Your insides are trying to tear themselves free
(She creates a third circle of fire around Jules)
Elena: Greta, witches are supposed to maintain the balance in nature. It's your duty to them to keep this curse sealed
Greta: My duty is to Klaus! The new order
(Klaus arrives)
Klaus: Glad to know I still have a dance partner
(He looks at Elena, Jenna and Jules)
Klaus: Hello, my lovelies. Are we ready?
[Lockwood's mansion]
(Matt and Caroline enter the house and close the doors. Matt looks through them)
Caroline: Do you see anything?
Matt: We're not safe here. If that thing wants in, it's getting in
Caroline: How did you even know what I was? I compelled you to forget!
Matt: I was on vervain. I faked forgetting so I could spy on you. It was your mom's idea
Caroline: Wait, my mom knows?! You told her. Well, what'd she say?
Matt: Your mom hates vampires. She grew up hating vampires. She'll probably always hate vampires
Caroline: Well, what about you?
Matt: What about me?
Caroline: Where does this leave us?
Matt: Stuck in this house. Trying not to get mauled to death by our friend
[Salvatore' house]
(Someone keeps knocking on the door)
Damon: heard ya
(He feels dizzy suddenly but he opens the door. It's John)
Damon: Great. I was just thinking about getting a bite to eat
John: Elena hasn't returned any of my calls for days. I need to see her
(John enters)
Damon: Well, you're a day late and a daughter short, John
John: What are you talking about?
Damon: Klaus has her. Sacrifice goes down tonight
John: How could you let that happen? You were supposed to keep her safe. Wasn't that the sum total of your plan; to keep her safe?
Damon: She is safe. I fed her my blood
John: You what?!
Damon: When Klaus kills Elena in the sacrifice, she will come back to life. Granted, as the thing you hate most in the world, but no one really cares what you think
(John tries to punch him but Damon pushes him against the wall)
Damon: You do not want to mess with me right now
John: You ruined her life. You know that, right?
Damon: I know, john. I took her choice, destroyed her future. Trust me, I get it. It actually gets worse
John: How could it possibly get any worse?
[A quarry]
(Klaus gives the moonstone to Greta)
Klaus: I spent 500 years looking for this. I hate to part with it
Greta: The moon has passed its apex. Remember everything you need to do?
Klaus: I remember
(Greta throws the moonstone in bowl, destroying it)
(Elena, Jenna and Jules are still in 3 separate circle of fire. Jules is still hurting and she looks at Elena)
Jules: Everything I did... I was just trying to help Tyler
Elena: Are you Jules?
Jules: I didn't want him to be alone!
(Klaus looks at her)
Klaus: Shall we?
(The circle of fire disappears around her. Her transformation begins so she runs but Klaus catches her and rips her heart out. Jenna and Elena are chocked)
[Abandoned house]
(Jeremy and Bonnie are still reading the grimoires)
Bonnie: Which one are you reading?
Jeremy: Emily Bennett's has a section on spells she did for my ancestor Jonathan Gilbert
Bonnie: Yeah, I think she had a thing for him
(He looks at her)
Jeremy: There's something on a resuscitative spell she was working on
Bonnie: I saw that, too. She just didn't explain what it did, exactly
Jeremy: Maybe Jonathan wrote about it in his journals. You know, I can have Stefan bring them
(They hear someone)
Bonnie: someone's here
(It's Alaric)
Jeremy: Hey, what are you doing here?
Alaric: Elijah and Stefan are upstairs
(He looks at Bonnie)
Alaric: You mind if I have a second with Jeremy?
Bonnie: Sure, yeah. Of course
(She leaves)
Jeremy: What's the matter?
Alaric: Jeremy... Something's happened to Jenna
(Bonnie is outside with Elijah and Stefan)
Bonnie: Why did he take Jenna?
Elijah: A punishment for meddling
Stefan: Klaus was going to use Tyler and Caroline but Damon rescued them
Bonnie: Then we need to go. Now. Before Jenna's been sacrificed. I can k*ll Klaus myself
Stefan: Bonnie... If you use that much power, you'll be dead. We've already been through this. It's not an option
Bonnie: Neither is letting Jenna die
Elijah: Well, Stefan would agree with you
Stefan: We're going to offer another vampire. One that he'll want more. Me
[A quarry]
(Klaus is holding Jules' heart above the bowl so the blood pours in the bowl)
Klaus: Tell me it's working
Greta: It's working
(Jenna and Elena, still in two separate circle of fire are talking)
Jenna: The day that the lawyers called to tell me that I was going to become your guardian, you know what my first thought was? Isn't there someone else who can do this?
Elena: Jenna, there was no one else who could have gotten me and Jeremy through all of that
Jenna: It's just the thought that I almost passed up taking care of you
Elena: But you didn't. You put your entire life on hold to help us
Jenna: Look around, Elena. I failed you
Elena: You didn't. I failed you. I'm so sorry. Listen. Being a vampire, it intensifies your guilt. But it also makes you stronger and faster. You can fight back. I'm gonna get through this. I'll be ok. I need you to believe that. Promise me, when you get the chance... Run
(Jenna nods)
[Lockwood's mansion]
(Caroline is sitting on the couch. Matt is looking through the window)
Matt: You don't think I k*lled him, do you?
Caroline: No. No. It takes a lot more than wooden b*ll*ts To k*ll a werewolf. He's still out there somewhere. Do you think my mom wants to k*ll me?
Matt: I don't think your mom knows what to do with you
Caroline: Yeah, well, I don't really know what to do with me, either
(They hear a noise)
Matt: what is it?
Caroline: Wait. Don't. Don't sh**t
(She rushes over the doors)
Matt: What the hell are you doing?
(She looks through the doors and sees Tyler, naked)
Caroline: Give me your jacket
Matt: What?
Caroline: Your jacket, take it off
(He takes his jacket off. She takes it, goes outside and puts it on Tyler. She strokes his hair. Matt is looking at them. Tyler opens his eyes)
Tyler: Caroline?
[Abandoned house]
(Elijah and Stefan are outside)
Elijah: Bonnie did a locator spell. They're at Steven's quarry
Stefan: I'll head over there first and you'll follow with bonnie when it's time
Elijah: Just as the moon hits its final phase. She's to stay hidden until then. He cannot know that she's alive
(He looks at Stefan)
Elijah: You're very honorable
Stefan: Are you? Because this whole plan is, um, it's contingent upon your honor, Elijah
Elijah: I won't fail you
Stefan: Klaus is your brother. I know I've wanted to k*ll my brother a thousand times. I've never been able to
Elijah: Well, Klaus was not my only brother. I had siblings; Parents. I had a family. Over the centuries, Klaus hunted them down one by one and he took them from me. He scattered them across the seas where their bodies couldn't be found
Stefan: You want revenge
Elijah: Sometimes there's honor in revenge, Stefan. I won't fail you
Stefan: Please end this
(John rejoins Bonnie and Jeremy. He has a box)
John: I brought the Gilbert journals. I think I know the spell you're talking about
Bonnie: Where's Damon?
John: Upstairs. Alaric wanted to talk to him
(Alaric and Damon are talking)
Damon: He did what?!
Alaric: He wasn't going to let Jenna die
Damon: We have a witch. She kills Klaus. No one has to die!
Alaric: Except for Bonnie
(Damon punches the wall)
Damon: God, Stefan, damn it!
Alaric: Hey, are you ok?
Damon: I'm fine. Well, that's my brother for you. Always cleaning up my messes
[A quarry]
Klaus: Hello, Jenna
Elena: Let her go. I understand that I have to die, but she doesn't!
(She gets closer to the fire)
Klaus: Careful
Jenna: Elena, don't
Elena: No, Jenna! We can't leave Jeremy without a family
(She looks at Klaus)
Elena: I followed your rules; I did everything that you asked. I didn't run. Please
Klaus: Well, well
(He raises his head)
Klaus: I don't recall you being on the guest list
(Elena and Jenna raise their head. Stefan is at the top of the cliff)
Stefan: I'm here to talk
Klaus: Very well, then
(Klaus rejoins Stefan at the top of the cliff)
Klaus: What can I do for you, Mr. Salvatore?
[Abandoned house]
(Damon is talking with John, Jeremy and Bonnie)
Bonnie: We found something in the Gilbert journals
John: Jonathan journaled the story of a mother who called on Emily's services. The woman's baby was sick; dying. Emily cast a spell that would bind a woman's life force with her child
Damon: Skip to the save Elena part
John: Well, the child d*ed, but the mother's life force flowed through her, restoring her to life
Jeremy: We already know Elena's going to come back to life but she'll be a vampire
John: Not if her soul remains intact
Damon: Her soul, really? You're going to put your faith in some act of god mumbo jumbo?
John: I refuse to let Elena become the thing I've spent my life protecting her against. And you can call that god or mystical energy, whatever you want, but yes... I'm putting my faith in it
[A quarry]
(Elena and Jenna are looking at Stefan and Klaus)
Jenna: What's going on?
Elena: I-I don't know. You can hear them. Your senses are heightened. You can hear anything. Just focus on them
(Klaus and Stefan are at the top of the cliff)
Stefan: You don't need to k*ll Jenna. I'll take her place
Klaus: Oh, I don't know. I rather appreciate the symmetry of three women- Three goddesses- Sacrificed at nature's altar
Elena: What are they saying?
Jenna: I can't-I can't make it out
Elena: You can do this. Just relax. Focus
Stefan: Don't play games with me. You'll get what you want
Klaus: You're quite the hero, aren't you? I've heard that about you
Stefan: Just make the trade. Me for Jenna
(Jenna has heard everything)
Jenna: Oh, my god
Elena: What is it?
Jenna: He wants to take my place
[Lockwood's mansion]
(Caroline closes a door and rejoins Matt)
Matt: How's Tyler doing?
Caroline: Sleeping. He should better by morning. He just... He needs some rest
Matt: Good. So this is your life now, huh?
Caroline: Never a dull moment
Matt: You know, these last few days with you have been so great, and fun and so Caroline
(She smiles)
Matt: I-I thought that I might be able to get past this whole vampire thing
Caroline: But you can. Matt...
Matt: I don't know if I can, Caroline
Caroline: Matt!
Matt: I get it. This is your life now. You know what my life is, car? My life is an absentee mom. And a bunch of bills to pay, and school, and a job, and it sucks sometimes. But it's my life. and... I think that I just want to live it without all of this
[Abandoned house]
(Bonnie is casting a spell on John)

Bonnie: It's done
Damon: That's it? Let's go
(He leaves. John opens his eyes. Bonnie looks at Jeremy)
Bonnie: I'll be back soon
Jeremy: Wait, what do you mean? No, I'm coming. I need to be there. I need to make sure you guys are ok
Bonnie: And who's going to make sure you're ok?
Jeremy: I've got my own ring. Look, I'm not taking no for an answer
(She kisses him. He collapses. John catches him)
John: Just go. I'll stay with him
(Bonnie and Damon go outside. Elijah and Alaric see them)
Elijah: It's time
Alaric: All right. I got the weapons in the car
Elijah: Bonnie's the only w*apon we need
(He goes out but Alaric can't get out. He's trapped)
Alaric: Bonnie! What is this?
Bonnie: I can't put anyone else at risk
Alaric: I can't stay here with Jenna out there!
Bonnie: I'm sorry
Alaric: You can't do this! Damon?
Damon: Sorry, buddy. She's right
Alaric: No! You can't do this
(They leave. He's upset)
Alaric: Bonnie! Bonnie!
[A quarry]
Jenna: Elena...
Elena: I have to do something. This can't happen. None of it
(Klaus and Stefan arrive)
Klaus: Quite the predicament. You know, it's funny, All this talk about preserving family, and here's Stefan, Granting your wish
Elena: Stefan…
Stefan: It's okay
Klaus: Well. Who's it going to be, Elena?
Elena: No
Klaus: Oh, don't worry. There's actually no choice
(He stakes Stefan in the back)
Elena: No! Stefan! No!

Klaus: It's time
(The circle of fire disappears. He holds his head toward Elena but she doesn't take it and goes to the altar. He rejoins her and looks at her)
Klaus: Thank you, Elena
Elena: Go to hell
(He bites her and drinks her blood. Stefan looks at her, powerless. Elena looks at him too. Klaus releases her. She falls on the ground, she's dead)
Klaus: I can feel it. It's happening. Yes, yes!
(The transformation begins. But Bonnie arrives and throws him on the ground. Damon kills Greta.)
Klaus: You were dead!
(Bonnie uses her powers and makes him suffer. He screams. Damon carries Elena's body and lays her next to Stefan)

Klaus: I can take you to them. I give you my word... Brother
Bonnie: Do it or I'll take you both out
Elijah: You'll die
Bonnie: I don't care

(Before she can do anything, he leaves with Klaus)
[Abandoned house]
(Alaric, Jeremy and John are waiting. John is writing something. Jeremy is reading one of Jonathan Gilbert's journals)
Alaric: we should have heard from them by now
Jeremy: Did you read all this?
John: I did

John: She saved her daughter. She found peace
Jeremy: John...
(He gets up and gives a letter to him)
John: I need you to give this to Elena for me and also this

(Caroline is sitting next to Tyler on the couch. He wakes up and he's hurt)
Caroline: Ooh, yeah, you got sh*t but it's healing
Tyler: You were right. I shouldn't have come home
Caroline: No, you just... Should have never left. And you shouldn't leave again
Tyler: You're kidding, right? This is the second time I've tried to k*ll you
Caroline: Well, no friendship is perfect. Matt broke up with me
Tyler: I'm sorry
Caroline: Yeah, well, you know, instead of just bailing on me again, you could just say... "Thank you, Caroline, for taking care of me. And I'm sorry that I tried to chow down on you again. "
(She cries)
Tyler: Hey. Hey. Come here
(He embraces her)
Tyler: Thank you, Caroline. For taking care of me
Caroline: You're welcome
[Gilbert's house]
(Damon and Stefan are in suits)
Stefan: We all set?
Damon: Yeah. Plenty of room with the gilbert family plot, and I compelled two of the grave diggers to do the dirty work. How's she doing?
Stefan: She lost the only parents she had. She's in shock
(Elena is wearing a black dress. She's getting ready and looking at pictures of her parents and Jenna. Jeremy rejoins her. He's wearing a suit)
Elena: I'm almost ready
Jeremy: Take your time
(He gives her John's letter)
Jeremy: John wanted me to give you this. And this
(He gives her John's magical ring)
Elena: Jeremy... I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry that you've lost so many people
Jeremy: I still have you
(They embrace each other. Then he leaves her alone. She sits down next to her window and starts reading John's letter)
John: "Elena... it's no easy task being an ordinary parent to an extraordinary child. I failed in that task."
[A cemetery]
(Alaric, Stefan, Bonnie, Caroline, Damon, Jeremy and Elena are all looking at a grave. Elena's holding 4 roses)
John: "And because of my prejudices, I failed you. I'm haunted by how things might have played out differently. If I'd been more willing to hear your side of things."
(She puts two roses on the grave)
John: "for me, it's the end. For you, a chance to grow old and someday do better with your own child than I did with mine. It's for that child that I give you my ring."
(Elena goes in front of her parent's tombstone. She cries and puts two roses on the ground)
John: ""I don't ask for your forgiveness or for you to forget. I ask only that you believe this. Whether you are now reading this as a human or as a vampire, I love you all the same as I've always loved you, and always will. John. "
(She looks at Damon and then gets up. She's still crying. She rejoins Jeremy, Bonnie and Caroline. Damon leaves. Stefan rejoins him)
Stefan: We're going to head back to the house
Damon: I think I'll skip the coffee and tea cakes
Stefan: Damon, she needs us right now. All of us
Damon: And then what's the plan, Stefan? The curse is broken. How does one go about k*lling an all-powerful wolf vamp and his two-faced older brother?
Stefan: I have no idea
Damon: You need to get an idea. Fast
Stefan: We will. I'm not going to let Elena lose anybody else
Damon: I wouldn't make any promises, brother
Stefan: What's that supposed to mean?
(Damon shows him the werewolf bite)
Damon: Tyler Lockwood bit me. It's actually more of a nip, really, but there it is
Stefan: We'll find something. A cure
Damon: There's no cure, Stefan
Stefan: We kept Elena human, right? We found the way when there was no way. Hey. I will do this
Damon: You want to do something for me? Keep this from Elena. Last thing she needs is another grave to mourn
(He leaves alone. Stefan looks at him)
