[Alaric's appartment]
(Klaus/Alaric opens the closet and takes 2 shirts. Katherine is tied to a chair)
Klaus/Alaric: Oh! Who is this guy, Safari Sam?
(He shows the shirts to Katherine)
Klaus/Alaric: Ok, bad, or badder?
Katherine: The dark colors suit you better
Klaus/Alaric: Oh, thank you, honey. Ok, pop quiz. The dagger and white ash are in the Salvatore's possession, correct?
Katherine: The dagger was used to k*ll Elijah. You'll find him in the basement of the Salvatore house
Klaus/Alaric: Ok, that dagger needs to stay exactly where it is. The last thing I need to do is resurrect Elijah. Ohh, that guy is a buzzkill
Katherine: Don't forget you're on the outs with your girlfriend Jenna
Klaus/Alaric: Right. Elena's aunt. For all the lies about Isobel. What else?
Katherine: That's it
(He gets closer to her and touches her face. She seems afraid)
Klaus/Alaric: Oh, so jumpy
Katherine: Please, just... k*ll me. I've told you everything that I know
Klaus/Alaric: You see, I believe that you believe that but what would you not know? What could they be keeping from you? Hmm? Anything? Tell me
(She looks at him and he compels her)
Katherine: They were trying to see if Bonnie could find a way to k*ll an Original without a dagger
Klaus/Alaric: Bonnie the best friend? And then you said she didn't have her powers anymore
Katherine: She doesn't or didn't. I don't know. You kidnapped me, remember? I'm kinda out of the loop
Klaus/Alaric: Well, we'll have to get to the bottom of that
Katherine: Please, just k*ll me, Klaus, and be done with it
Klaus/Alaric: And show you kindness? I've searched for you for over 500 years. Your death is going to last at least half that long
(He takes a Kn*fe from his pocket)
Klaus/Alaric: I want you to take this Kn*fe... And s*ab yourself
(She takes the Kn*fe and stabs her thigh)
Klaus/Alaric: Now take it out
(She takes it out. Her wounds heals)
Klaus/Alaric: Now while I'm gone, I want you to do that over and over and over again and if you get bored, switch legs
Katherine: Where are you going?
Klaus/Alaric: I'm gonna go lay eyes on my precious doppelganger
(He kisses her on the forehead)
Klaus/Alaric: Oh, don't look so glum, Katerina. The fun is just beginning. Again, please
(He leaves. Katherine stabs herself again)
[Salvatore's house]
(Elena and Bonnie are with a lawyer. Elena is signing papers)
Lawyer: Please sign here and here
(She takes the pen)
Elena: Okay
Bonnie: So this place is all yours? They just gave it to you?
Elena: For now. As sole owner, I'm the only one who can invite a certain type of person in here, if you know what I mean
Bonnie: Your own personal safe house
Elena: That's the idea
Bonnie: Wouldn't want to clean it
(Elena laughs)
(Stefan and Damon are waiting outside)
Damon: You really think Bonnie can take on Klaus?
Stefan: She said she could channel enough witch's power to k*ll him. Elijah thought that would work and he was an Original, so…
Damon: We just need to find him
Stefan: Yeah
Damon: Could she do one of those witch tracking spells?
Stefan: Nope. Not without something that belongs to Klaus. Believe me, I already asked
Damon: Do you think he k*lled her?
Stefan: Katherine? Probably
Damon: It's not like she didn't have it coming
(Elena opens the door. The lawyer leaves)
Elena: Thank you, Mr. Henry
(Stefan and Damon can't enter)
Elena: I'm sorry. I completely forgot
(She looks at Stefan)
Elena: Stefan. Would you like to come inside my house?
Stefan: I would love to. Thank you
(He enters. Elena looks at Damon)
Damon: What are we, 12?
Elena: One of us is. If I let you in, do you promise to obey the owner of this house?
Damon: No
Elena: Seriously, Damon. My way. You promised. I call the sh*ts. No lies, no secret agendas. Remember?
Damon: Yes, Elena. Sure
Elena: Then please, come in
(He enters and looks at Stefan)
Damon: Shut up
(Bonnie rejoins them and gives Elena her jacket)
Elena: Thanks
Stefan: Wait, where are you going?
Elena: To school
Stefan: Huh?
Damon: No, no, no. We didn't create a safe house for you to leave it
Stefan: Yeah, guys, Klaus is out there. We know that
Elena: Right. But where? No one knows. Look, I really appreciate what you guys are doing. And I'll be able to sleep at night knowing that I'll be safe here, but I'm not going to be a prisoner
(She looks at Damon)
Damon: Your way, Elena
Bonnie: Don't worry, I'm ready. If he shows his face, I can take him. Know how
Elena: The way I see it, next to Bonnie is the safest place that I can be. Come on
(They leave. Stefan looks at Damon)
Stefan: Wait, um, coming
(He leaves with them)
[Caroline's house]
(Matt knocks on the door. Liz opens the door)
Liz: Caroline left early for school
Matt: I know. I came to see you. I don't know what to do. What to say, how to act around her
Liz: You can't let on that you know
Matt: She wants me to take her to the dance. What am I supposed to do?
Liz: Take her to the dance
Matt: I'll never get away with it. She knows me too well, she'll figure it out
Liz: Damn it, Matt, just do it. She's my daughter. She's my baby. I just, I need some time
Matt: I know, but...
Liz: Look, if what Caroline told you is true, she's not the only one. The Salvatore's are vampires. The Gilbert family is in on it. Tyler Lockwood is God knows what
Matt: A werewolf
Liz: There's no one in this town I can trust. I just need to take a b*at and figure out what to do
Matt: That'll never fool her
Liz: Yes, you will. As far as she knows, you don't remember anything. Buy me some time. Please, Matt
[Mystic Falls' high school]
(Everyone sits down. Elena takes the poster for the decade dance and shows it to Stefan with a smile. He says no. then, she shows it to Bonnie. She says yes. Elena looks back at Stefan. Alaric/Klaus arrives)
Alaric/Klaus: Hello, class. Are we learning today?
Dana: With the decade dance tonight, we've been covering the sixties all week
Alaric/Klaus: Right. The sixties
(He sees Elena. He looks at her for a while and turns to the board)
Alaric/Klaus: The, uh, ahem...
(He writes on the board)
Alaric/Klaus: The sixties. I wish there was something good I could say about the sixties, but... Actually, they kind of sucked. Except for the Beatles, of course. They made it bearable. Uh, what else was there? The Cuban m*ssile thing, the... we walked on the moon. There was Watergate
Elena: Watergate was the seventies, Ric. I-I mean, Mr. Saltzman
Alaric/Klaus: Right. It all kind of mushes together up here, the sixties, seventies. Thank you, Elena
(Caroline rejoins Dana but sees Matt)
Caroline: Hey, Dana. Um, can you take care of these?
Dana: Sure
Caroline: Ok, thank you
(She gives her some posters and leaves)
(She rejoins Matt)
Caroline: Hey
(He kisses her)
Caroline: What was that for?
Matt: Just practicing for tonight
(She laughs)
Matt: So I... found a suit. If you still want me to be JFK
Caroline: Perfect
(Bonnie and Jeremy are in the cafeteria)
Jeremy: Do you think Elena knows what it's going to take for you to do that Klaus spell?
Bonnie: No, and you're not, either
Jeremy: Well, she's gotta know you can't do it
Bonnie: You don't know I can't. Have a little faith in me
Jeremy: That's not fair. You can't harness the power of a hundred dead witches. It'll k*ll you
Bonnie: Shh! We don't know that for certain. You promised to keep my secret, I'm trusting you. I'm going through with this, and if you tell anyone, I swear...
Jeremy: what? What are you gonna do?
(Elena rejoins them)
Elena: Hey, Jer. How you doing? Are you ok at the house alone with John?
Jeremy: It's not ideal
(He gets up)
Elena: You haven't heard from Jenna, have you?
Jeremy: It looks like she's staying on campus instead of coming home. I'm late for class
(He leaves. Elena sits down with Bonnie)
Elena: What's going on?
Bonnie: I told him he had to dress up tonight and he got all uptight
Elena: Oh
(She laughs. Dana rejoins them)
Dana: Hey, Elena, there you are. Ok. This is going to sound freaky, but this totally hot guy just asked me to ask you if you're going to the dance tonight
Bonnie: Tell him she has a boyfriend
Dana: You could at least meet him. He'll be at the dance tonight. Look for him. His name is Klaus
Elena: I'm sorry, what did you just say?
Dana: His name's Klaus. I know the name's stupid, but I swear he's hot
(Bonnie looks around them)
Bonnie: Where is he? Is he here?
Dana: I don't know
Bonnie: She's being compelled
Dana: But he wants to know if you'll save him the last dance. How cute is that?
[Salvatore's house]
(Stefan, Damon, Bonnie and Elena are in the living room)
Damon: So we go to the dance, we find him
Stefan: Really? How are we going to do that? We don't even know what he looks like
Damon: Something tells me he's not going to be 16 and pimply
Stefan: He could be anywhere at any time. He compelled somebody at school
(He looks at Elena and Bonnie)
Stefan: I guess it's not as safe as you guys thought, huh?
(Someone knocks on the door. Alaric/Klaus enters)
Damon: There you are
Alaric/Klaus: Sorry I'm late
Damon: Hey, I need you to put me down as a chaperone at the dance tonight. Klaus made his first move
Elena: Ok, so we find him and then what, hmm? What's our plan of att*ck?
Bonnie: Me. I'm the plan. He has no idea how much power I can channel. If you can find him, I can k*ll him
Alaric/Klaus: That's not going to be that easy. I mean, he is the biggest, baddest vampire around
Damon: Alaric has a point. I mean, what if he...
(He rushes over Bonnie but she throws him on the other side of the room with her powers, without touching him)
Stefan: Well, I was impressed
Bonnie: It doesn't matter if he's an Original. I can take down anyone who comes at me. I can k*ll him, Elena. I know I can
[Alaric's apartment]
Alaric/Klaus: Ah, you're right. This witch is all juiced up and aiming to k*ll
(Katherine legs are bleeding)
Katherine: That's terrible
(The warlock is in the kitchen)
Alaric/Klaus: We're gonna have to k*ll her, Maddox
(He opens a drawer)
Alaric/Klaus: Do you think this Alaric guy has anything vintage?
(He looks at the shirts and sees that there's something under. He opens it and sees a lot of weapons to k*ll vampires)
Alaric/Klaus: Crossbows, wooden b*ll*ts and automatics? Who is this guy, again?
Katherine: He's the local vampire hunter
Alaric/Klaus: Ahh. Well, that explains the clothes
Maddox: All I could find. Guy likes his bourbon
(He gives him a glass. Alaric/Klaus takes it)
Alaric/Klaus: I knew there was something about him I liked. There's a high school dance and I'm gonna need you to take out witch bitch
Maddox: If she has that much power, she can sense me coming from a mile away. I won't be able to get near her. You have to do it
Alaric/Klaus: In this body? I'm a Haggard history teacher. She can easily hurt me. I mean, not me, Klaus me, but you know what I mean
(Katherine is listening to them)
Maddox: No witch could handle channeling that much power. It'll k*ll her. It would k*ll me. You just have
to make her use it
Alaric/Klaus: You mean like provoking her to death?
Maddox: Won't take long. Just keep attacking her until it kills her. His body, Alaric's, will last longer than hers will
Alaric/Klaus: How? He's human
Maddox: I can help in that department. I can do a spell to protect you
(Alaric/Klaus looks at Katherine. She lowers her head)
[Caroline's house]
(Caroline is all dressed up. Liz arrives)
Caroline: There you are! You almost missed me. How do I look?
Liz: Jackie O?
(Caroline laughs)
Caroline: Duh
Liz: You look good
Caroline: Thanks. Is everything ok?
Liz: Ughh, just some work stress
Caroline: Well, you work too much
(Matt knocks on the door. Caroline laughs and opens the door)
Caroline: Mr. President
Matt: Hey
Caroline: Hi
(She tries to kiss him but he looks at the sheriff and goes back. Caroline laughs)
Matt: Sheriff
Caroline: Sorry
Liz: Have fun
Caroline: We will
(Matt looks at the sheriff and leaves)
[Salvatore's house]
(Stefan and Elena are in his bedroom. She's looking into some boxes)
Elena: Your relatives were such packrats
(She takes two outfits and shows them to Stefan)
Elena: Ok, so what do you think? Twiggy or sexy hippy?
Stefan: Ooh. You know it's not too late to back out, right?
Elena: And what, miss out on all the fun?
(He gets closer to her)
Stefan: Hey
Elena: All this time spent worrying about Klaus. I think I convinced myself that he's not real but he is
Stefan: And tonight, we will put an end to him
(They kiss)
Elena: I love you
Stefan: I want you to tell me that when the night's over
(They kiss again)
Damon: Any time tonight
[Mystic Falls' high school]
(It's the decade dance. Everyone's dancing. Alaric/Klaus arrive, dance and rejoins Dana and her date)
Dana: Nice outfit, Mr. Saltzman. Totally far out
Alaric/Klaus: Thank you, Dana. Thank you. Now who is your date?
Chad: It's Chad, Mr. Saltzman, from third period
Alaric/Klaus: Chad, of course. How would you and your friends like to earn a little extra credit?
(Bonnie and Jeremy are outside)
Jeremy: Wait
(He takes off is ring)
Jeremy: Look, I, um, I want you to have this
Bonnie: If you're asking me to go steady, I think that was the fifties
Jeremy: No, I'm serious, Bonnie
Bonnie: The ring won't work on me, Jeremy
Jeremy: But it was made by a witch
Bonnie: To protect from the supernatural, not for someone who is
Jeremy: Well, I have to do something. I can't just... I can't just let you get yourself k*lled
Bonnie: Just because a bunch of dead witches gave me a warning doesn't mean I'm going to die
Jeremy: So you're saying there's a 50-50 sh*t you won't? Look, I'm sorry. But... you know I don't have the best luck in the girlfriend department
Bonnie: Hey. Listen, I... I can't explain it. But I can feel them. I'm empowered, Jeremy, I can do this. I know I can. I'm strong enough
(She embraces him and sees Damon)
Bonnie: Damon
Damon: Evenin'
(He enters. Elena and Stefan rejoin them)
Elena: hey you two. Oh, you look nice
(She embraces Bonnie)
Bonnie: You too
Stefan: You guys ready to do this?
(Everyone is dancing. Dana goes on the stage)
Dana: Thanks for being here, everybody. We have a special shout-out tonight
(Elena, Stefan, Bonnie, Jeremy and Damon stops in front of the stage)
Dana: This is for Elena. From Klaus
(A song starts playing. Elena seems stunned)
Damon: That was a lame, cheap sh*t. He's just trying to bait us
Elena: I know everyone here
Stefan: Maybe he's not here. Just wants us to believe that he is
Damon: It's a party, people. Blend. Let him come to us
Bonnie: Good idea
(She takes Jeremy's arm)
Jeremy: No, no, I really don't feel like dancing
Bonnie: Too bad
(They go on the dance floor. Damon sees Alaric/Klaus)
Damon: There's Ric. I'll be back
(He leaves)
(Damon rejoins Alaric/Klaus)
Alaric/Klaus: Special dedication, huh? This guy's a little twisted
Damon: I'm not impressed
Alaric/Klaus: No?
Damon: Let me know if you see anything out of whack
(He leaves)
(Jeremy and Bonnie are dancing so are Elena and Stefan. She sees Caroline and Matt arriving)
Elena: Caroline's here. They don't know what's going on. We have to tell her
Stefan: I'm on it
(He looks at Damon and leaves. Damon takes Elena and they dance)
Damon: How you doing?
Elena: Um, freaking out a bit. You?
Damon: Cool as a cucumber. Come on, remember the last decade dance? The vampires were all, "ahh!" And you were all, "aahh!"
Elena: Right. And you won
Damon: Yes! We did
(He makes some moves with her)
Elena: You're good at this
Damon: I've got moves you've never seen
(She laughs)
(Matt and Caroline are in the dance floor)
Caroline: Dance with me
Matt: I'm a really bad dancer
(She laughs and takes his arm)
Caroline: I know better than that
(They dance. He's weird)
Caroline: What?
Matt: You look really pretty tonight
(Stefan rejoins them)
Stefan: Hey, guys
Matt: Hey, man, what's up?
Stefan: Hey. Do you mind if I steal your date for a moment?
Matt: No, not all. I'll get us something to drink
Stefan: Thanks
(Matt leaves. Stefan dances with Caroline)
Caroline: What's wrong?
Stefan: Klaus is here
Caroline: What?!
Stefan: Yeah
Caroline: Where?
Stefan: We have no idea. But keep your eye out for anything that might be weird, ok?
(Bonnie and Jeremy are dancing. Damon rejoins them)
Damon: May I?
(Jeremy looks at him and leaves. Damon dances with Bonnie)
Bonnie: You heard Jeremy and me talking, didn't you?
Damon: Is it true?
Bonnie: Yes
Damon: The part about you having a 50-50 sh*t of surviving? Is that true?
Bonnie: He was upset. I didn't want him to worry
Damon: So you lay it out on the line for Elena, no matter what
Bonnie: No matter what
Damon: Good
Bonnie: You can't tell her
Damon: Your secret's safe with me, but I mean... With all that power, isn't there a way to increase your odds?
Bonnie: Careful, Damon. I might start to think you actually care
Damon: We wouldn't want that
(Elena rejoins Jeremy. She looks at Bonnie and Damon)
Elena: What are they up to?
Jeremy: Who knows?
Elena: Is there something going on, Jer? You ok?
Jeremy: Fine. I'm fine
(He leaves. Stefan rejoins her)
Stefan: Everything all right?
Elena: I'm not sure
(Jeremy is in the hallway. Stefan rejoins him)
Stefan: Jeremy. What are you doing? Elena thinks we should stick together
Jeremy: Yeah, I'm fine. I've got my ring. It's... it's Bonnie
Stefan: What is it? Hey, you got something on your mind, spit it out
Jeremy: If Bonnie takes on Klaus, channeling all that energy's going to k*ll her
Stefan: What?
Jeremy: But she doesn't want Elena to know, 'cause if Elena knows, she's gonna try to stop her. And it's Elena that could turn up dead, so... What am I supposed to do?
(Everyone is dancing. Damon is dancing with two girls. Bonnie looks at him and smiles. Elena rejoins her)
Elena: I need to talk to you
(They leaves. Damon's looking at them. Bonnie looks at him. Stefan rejoins Damon)
Stefan: Come here, come here, come here. Please tell me you didn't know that Bonnie was on a su1c1de mission
Damon: Oh, great. Jeremy told you and of course you told Elena
Stefan: Yeah, I told her. You promised her no more secrets
Damon: I changed my mind
(Elena and Bonnie are outside)
Elena: How could you not tell me?
Bonnie: 'Cause I knew how'd you react
Elena: No. No way, it's not an option
Bonnie: It's our only option
Elena: Then we'll find another way, ok? Bonnie, you're not dying to save my life
Bonnie: I have the power to save you! If I don't use it and something happens, that would k*ll me more
Elena: I can't let you
Bonnie: Just answer one question... if the situation was reversed, would you do it for me?
(Elena doesn't answer)
Bonnie: So you know I have to
Elena: No. No!
(Jeremy is in the hallway. Chad and two other students rejoin him)
Jeremy: What's going on, guys?
Chad: You ok, Gilbert? You don't look so good
Jeremy: Dude, seriously? Wrong day, wrong guy
(They start fighting. The two other boys punch Jeremy. Stefan and Damon arrive. One of the guys throw a stake on Damon with a crossbow)
Damon: Let me guess... Klaus says hi
(They have weapons. Stefan rushes over them and fights them. Damon catches another boy and is about to k*ll him)
Stefan: No, no, no, no, don't k*ll him. He's compelled
Damon: So?
Stefan: So, the whole thing's a distraction. Go find Bonnie and Elena. I got this. Go
(Damon throws the guy against the lockers and leaves)
(Alaric/Klaus rejoins Bonnie and Elena)
Alaric/Klaus: Elena!
Elena: What is it?
Alaric/Klaus: He has Jeremy
Elena: What?
Bonnie: What?!
Alaric/Klaus: Yeah, Klaus has Jeremy. Come on
(They follow him in the school. They're running in the hallway)
Elena: Ok, so where are you taking us?
Alaric/Klaus: Just a little further
Elena: What... Something's not right
Bonnie: Where's Jeremy?
(They stop. He laughs)
Alaric/Klaus: I just had to get away from that dance. The sixties, uchh. Not my decade
(He laughs)
Alaric/Klaus: I mean, whose call was that, anyway? I much prefer the twenties. The style, the parties, the jazz
Elena: Alaric. Are you on vervain?
Alaric/Klaus: Now why would you ask me that question, Elena?
Elena: He's being compelled
Alaric/Klaus: Nope. Try again
Elena: What's going on?
Alaric/Klaus: Ok, I'll give you a hint. I am not Alaric
Elena: Klaus
Alaric/Klaus: Surprise!
Elena: Oh, no. No, it's not possible
Alaric/Klaus: Just relax, Elena. I'm not here to hurt you. You're not on my hit list tonight
(He looks at Bonnie)
Alaric/Klaus: But you are
(She throws him against the wall with her powers. He gets up)
Alaric/Klaus: Now, did I mention that I knew a witch? You're gonna have to hit me a lot harder than that
(He rushes over her so she throws him against a display case. He laughs)
Alaric/Klaus: By all means... Fire away!
(He gets up)
Alaric/Klaus: If you k*ll this body, I'll just get a new one. Maybe Jeremy
Bonnie: Go. Run. Run!
(They run. Bonnie closes the doors with her powers. Damon rejoins them)
Damon: What happened?
Elena: Klaus is in Alaric's body
Damon: What?
Bonnie: He's possessing it or something
(He looks at Elena)
Damon: Go find Stefan. Now
Elena: Okay
Damon: Now
(She leaves. Damon and Bonnie are alone)
Damon: Can you k*ll him?
Bonnie: He's got some kind of protection spell
Damon: You have the power of a hundred witches. Break it
Bonnie: I'm trying! If I k*ll Alaric, he'll just possess someone else. He knows I have my power, Damon. He's trying to k*ll me
Damon: No. Klaus does not get to win tonight, no way. You still willing to do whatever it takes to k*ll him?
(Elena is on the dance floor, looking all around her. Caroline sees her. She's with Matt)
Caroline: Hey! Are you ok?
Elena: Um...Yeah. I'm just... I'm looking for Stefan
(She sees him)
Caroline: Seriously, what's wrong?
Elena: Uh, just, um, stay with Matt, ok?
(She leaves to rejoin Stefan)
Matt: What was that about?
Caroline: Oh, you know, just same old drama
(Bonnie is in the hallway, alone. She enters the cafeteria. Alaric/Klaus is sitting on a chair, a Kn*fe on his hand)
Alaric/Klaus: What took you so long? Now, do you want to do this the easy way or the hard way?
(She breaks his wrist with her powers. He replaces it)
Alaric/Klaus: The hard way. Got it
(He gets up. She breaks his shoulder with her powers. He groans)
Alaric/Klaus: What? You'd k*ll your favorite history teacher?
Bonnie: It's what Alaric would want. And he'd want you to suffer first
(Her nose bleeds)
Alaric/Klaus: Look at you
(She wipes her nose)
Alaric/Klaus: Is that all you got?
Bonnie: Let's find out
(Elena and Stefan are running in the hallway, Damon rejoins them)
Damon: There you are
Elena: What are you doing? Where's Bonnie?
Damon: She's doing what she has to do
Elena: What?
Stefan: Where is she?
Damon: Stefan, let her do this
Stefan: Damn it, Damon, where is she?!
(Bonnie is still fighting Alaric/Klaus with her powers. Her nose is bleeding a lot. Elena and Stefan arrive)
Elena: Bonnie, no!
(Bonnie fights Alaric/Klaus. Elena screams. Stefan tries to open the doors but he can't. bonnie looks at Elena with a smile and then she falls on the floor. Everything stops. Elena and Stefan open the doors and rush over Bonnie)
Elena: No! Oh! Bonnie! Bonnie, Bonnie!
(She takes Bonnie in her arms. Stefan looks around them. Alaric/Klaus is gone)
Elena: Stefan, she's not breathing!
(She cries)
Elena: Stefan! Stefan, I can't find her pulse! Stefan! Do something, please! Stefan, please! Just give her blood, do something, please!
Stefan: It's too late. I'm sorry
(Elena's still crying)
Elena: No! No. No, no, no, no, no! Bonnie! Bonnie, please, no! No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no!
(Damon arrives)
Damon: Stefan, get Elena out of here. I'll deal with this
Elena: What do you mean, deal with this?
Damon: The sheriff can't know about this. Last thing we need's another mysterious death
Elena: This is Bonnie!
(Damon looks at Stefan)
Damon: Get her home. Now
(Stefan catches Elena and helps her to get up)
Stefan: Hey, hey, hey
Elena: No. Jeremy. Oh, my God, Jeremy. What about Jeremy?
Damon: I'll find him
(Elena gets up. She looks at Bonnie's body, crying and screaming. Stefan takes her and they leave. Alone, Damon closes Bonnie's eyes)
(Damon puts Bonnie's body in the trunk. Jeremy rejoins him)
Jeremy: Damon! Hey, I got your message, I can't find anyone. Where's Elena, where's Bonnie?
Damon: We need to have a little talk
[Salvatore's house]
(Elena is sitting next to the chimney. Stefan rejoins her with a glass)
Stefan: Hey. Here, drink this
Elena: I can't
Stefan: Yeah. Yeah, you can. Yeah. Yeah, you can
(She takes the glass but cries)
Elena: This is my fault
Stefan: No, no, no, no, no. No. Hey. This was Klaus. Listen to me. Klaus did this
(Damon arrives)
Elena: What did you do with her?!
(He looks at Stefan)
Damon: Will you please calm her down?
Elena: Don't talk like I'm not standing right in front of you
Damon: Please calm down
Elena: You knew! Didn't you? You knew that if she harnessed all that power, that she would die, didn't you?
Damon: Yes. Yes, I knew
(She slaps him)
Damon: You need to listen to me, and prepare for what I'm about to say. Bonnie had to die. Klaus using Alaric's body was a total surprise. She wasn't prepared for that. And he wasn't going to stop, and we weren't going to be able to stop him until he knew she was dead. He had to believe it
[Abandoned house]
(Bonnie is laying on the floor. Jeremy is lightening candles. She wakes up. He rushes over and embraces her. They laugh with joy)
[Salvatore's house]
Damon: She cast a spell. She's alive, Elena. Bonnie's ok
(He goes to the stairs. Stefan follows him)
Stefan: You know, you could have told me
Damon: How do I know when you're going to go blabbing things to your girlfriend?
Stefan: You even understand what you put her through?
Damon: See, that's why I didn't tell you. 'Cause you would have never been able to do it. Don't get me wrong, Stefan. I don't mind being the bad guy. I'll make all the life and death decisions while you're busy worrying about collateral damage. I'll even let her hate me for it. But at the end of the day, I'll be the one to keep her alive
(He goes upstairs)
[Abandoned house]
(Jeremy has his laptop on his legs)
Jeremy: You sure it's safe here?
Bonnie: Yeah, I'm sure
(He takes something from his bag)
Bonnie: What is that?
Jeremy: It is MiFi. If we're gonna be stuck here, then we might as well have Internet
Bonnie: You don't have to stay down here with me
Jeremy: Hey, look, I'm not letting you out of my sight
Bonnie: I... I need you to talk to Elena for me. Tell her how sorry I am for what Damon and I had to do
Jeremy: Well, um... Why don't you tell her yourself?
(He turns the laptop so Bonnie can see Elena thanks to the webcam)
[Salvatore House]
(Elena is talking with Bonnie via webcam)
Bonnie: Elena, I'm so sorry
Elena: It's ok, it's ok. I just needed to see you from myself
(Bonnie's crying)
Bonnie: There wasn't enough time for me to tell you
Elena: It's ok, seriously. Damon explained it all to me
(Damon is in his bedroom. Elena rejoins him)
Damon: Ugh. Look. Klaus had to think she was dead. Your reaction had to be real
Elena: I understand why you did what you did. Klaus was fooled, and Bonnie's alive
Damon: Here's to duplicity
Elena: But let's get one thing straight, Damon. Bonnie will not die for me, I will not let that happen
Damon: We need to k*ll Klaus, Elena. Real Klaus. Who will probably be coming to pay you a visit soon now that he knows that Bonnie is dead. She's the only one who can do it
Elena: We'll find another way
Damon: I hope so
Elena: Look, I shouldn't have hit you
Damon: Apology accepted. Let me be clear about something. If it comes down to you and the witch again, I will gladly let Bonnie die. I will always choose you
(She doesn't say anything for a moment)
Elena: Good night, Damon
Damon: Good night
(She looks at him and leaves)
(She goes in the basement. Opens the cellar, looks at Elijah's body and removes the dagger. She sits down next to the body)
