[Mystic Falls' Hospital]
(Elena rejoins Matt]
Matt: How's Mr. Saltzman?
Elena: Resigned to spending the night in observation, so long as I promise to change the lock on the house. So I talked with Bonnie earlier. Her and her mom are fine
(While they wlak, someone is watching them from behind a window)
Elena: Have you talked to Caroline?
Matt: Yeah. She's holding it together, considering how close she and her dad used to be. Any word on who was behind all these att*cks?
Elena: No. Sheriff Forbes said that there's no real suspects at all.
(Elena and Matt are in the parking lot)
Elena: How are you dealing with everything? I mean, you keep getting dragged into all this
Matt: Honestly... I'm kind of lucky. The only thing that I have to worry about for tomorrow is showing up for my shift at the Grill
Elena: Thank you for everything today. Really
Matt: Get home safe
Elena: Thanks
(He goes to his car and leaves. Elena enters her car and drives but she hits something. She immediately goes out of the car to see what she just hit but there's nothing. When she turns herself she's face to face with Rebekah)
Rebekah: What? Drive much?
Elena: Rebekah...
(Rebekah strangles her and pushes her against the car)
Rebekah: Surprised? You drove a dagger through my back, Elena. It hurt
(She's about to bite her but Elijah catches her and pushes her against the car, strangling her)
Rebekah: Elijah
Elijah: Leave
(He realeases her. Rebekah looks at him)
Elijah: Are you challenging me?
Rebekah: You're pathetic
(She looks at Elena)
Rebekah: Both of you
(She leaves. Elijah looks at Elena)
Elijah: Well... I believe we have a little catching up to do
[Gilbert's House]
(Elena is in the kitchen with Stefan and Damon)
Elena: It was their mother Esther who was sealed in that coffin
Stefan: As in the original witch?
Damon: What? How is she even alive? I thought her hybrid freak show of a son ripped her heart out a thousand years ago
Elena: I don't know. I'm guessing she has a couple of connections in the witching community. Elijah said that she wants to live in peace with her family, including Klaus
Stefan: She was supposed to be the w*apon to help us k*ll Klaus
Elena: Yeah, well, not anymore. At least, not according to Elijah
Stefan: That coffin was the only thing stopping Klaus from tearing us to shreds
Damon: Anyone else feeling a little used right now?
Elena: Look, Elijah promised me that his family wouldn't hurt any of us. I believe him
(Someone knocks on the door. Elena goes to the door and opens it. She looks around but no one's here. She sees an envelope with her name on it. She takes it. Stefan and Damon are here. She opens it. It's an invitation)
Damon: What is it?
Elena: It's an invitation
(She reads it)
Elena: "Please join the Mikaelson family this evening at seven o'clock for dancing, cocktails, and celebration."
Stefan: Who the hell are the Mikaelsons?
Elena: The original family
Damon: It's not bad enough they're moving into town. Now they want a housewarming gift?
(Elena turns the invite and sees a note from Esther)
Elena: Wait. There's a note on the back. "Elena, I think it's time we finally meet. Esther"
[Klaus' House]
(The originals are getting ready. Kol is looking at himself in the mirror)
Kol: Rebekah, tell me how handsome I am
Rebekah: Ah, Kol, you know I can't be compelled
(Finn smiles. Klaus enters, angry)
Klaus: You went after Elena? What is wrong with you?
Rebekah: Here we go
Klaus: Do you want another dagger in your heart?
Kol: Again with the dagger threats? Don't you have any other tricks?
(Klaus looks at him)
Klaus: Oh, go back to staring at yourself
Kol: And who are you, my father?
Klaus: No, Kol, but you're in my house
Kol: Then perhaps we should go outside
(Esther arrives)
Esther: Enough! Niklaus, come
(Klaus rejoins her and they go in another room)
Klaus: Rebekah wasn't even out of her box a day before she tried to ruin my life. What happened to peace, acceptance, family?
Esther: You put daggers in their hearts. You want them to go down on their knees and kiss your feet for reuniting them?
Klaus: So it's a crime to want our family to be as we were?
Esther: You need to give it time, Niklaus. I've had a thousand years on the other side to be angry and to heal. I'm here to make sure this family does the same
Klaus: I just don't understand. I k*lled you, and still you forgive me
Esther: It's been my dream for a thousand years that this family could be as one. Forgiveness is not a chore. It's a gift. Now, who are you bringing to the ball this evening?
(He smiles)
Klaus: Don't be ridiculous. You're lucky I'm even going
Esther: Well, I wish you would reconsider. It's going to be a magical evening
[Gilbert's House]
Elena: If Esther wants to talk to me, maybe I should find out why
Damon: Well, that's a dumb idea. She already tried to k*ll you once
Stefan: No, Elena's right. Bonnie was led to open that coffin for a reason. I think there's more to this than just some family reunion
Damon: Can we go back in time to the old Stefan who cared if Elena lived or d*ed?
Stefan: What for? That's your job now
Elena: Stefan has a point, Damon. I should find out what she wants
Damon: You can't protect yourself
Stefan: Ok, fine. Then I'll go
Damon: You pissed off enough originals to last a lifetime. I'll go
(He takes the invite from Elena's hands)
Elena: Hey!
Damon: End of story
(He leaves. Stefan and Elena look at each other)
[Caroline's House]
(Caroline looks at her phone and listen a voicemail from Tyler)
Tyler: Caroline, it's Tyler. I know I should have called sooner. I just kind of freaked out and left. But I heard about your dad, and I'm sorry. I'm really sorry, Caroline. I'm out doing what he said. I'm going to fix myself and come home to you. I love you
(She hangs up. Someone knocks on the door. She goes at the door but nobody's here. She sees a package. She takes it and goes to her bedroom. She sees the invite and turns it. There's a note from Klaus "Save me a dance. Fondly, Klaus")
Caroline: Seriously?
(She opens the package. There's a beautiful dress)
[Mystic Grill]
(Caroline and Elena are sitting at a table)
Elena: It's all so weird. The originals are throwing a ball, like an actual ball
Caroline: It's some twisted Cinderella fetish is what it is. And why does the evil witch wants an audience with you?
Elena: I have no idea. There's only one way to find out
Caroline: I thought you told Damon and Stefan that you weren't going
Elena: I did, which is all the more reason why I need a drama-free bodyguard
Caroline: Well, I think a Salvatore would look a lot better in a tux, and by that, I mean Stefan
Elena: I can't deal with either of the Salvatores right now. Whatever Stefan's feeling, he's channeling it all against Klaus, and Damon... it's just not a good idea
Caroline: Why? 'Cause you two made out? Bonnie spilled the beans
Elena: I was gonna tell you. It's just after everything happened with your dad...
Caroline: Elena, when you and Matt kissed for the first time freshman year, you called me the second it happened. I don't hear about this till now? From somebody else?
Elena: I'm sorry. It's just I... I don't even know how I feel about it yet. All I do know is that... Just used to be so much easier
(Rebekah arrives)
Rebekah: Careful, Caroline. It's all well and good till she stabs you in the back
Elena: What are you doing here? I know your mom's rules. No hurting the locals
Rebekah: Get over yourself, Elena. It's not all about you
(She rejoins Matt and gives him an invitation. Caroline and Elena look at them)
Caroline: Oh, my god. She's inviting him to the ball. Why is she inviting him?
Elena: Probably to get this reaction from us
Caroline: What time is this stupid dance?
[Klaus' House]
(It's the ball. Everyone is dressed up. Damon rejoins Carol)
Damon: Hello, Carol
Carol: Hello
Damon: Hanging out with your new besties?
Carol: I'm the mayor, Damon. When the oldest, deadliest family of vampires moves into your town, you welcome them with a smile
Damon: Well, at least you know who you're borrowing that cup of sugar from
Carol: They've assured me they want peace, and I've assured them that I'd enforce it
(Kol rejoins them and kisses Carol's hand)
Kol: Mayor Lockwood. We haven't formally met. Kol Mikaelson. I hope your lovely town embraces us just as much as we plan to embrace it
Damon: Damon Salvatore. Have we met?
Kol: I've met a lot of people, And you don't particularly stand out
(He leaves. Elena arrives . Damon looks at her)
Damon: Excuse me Carol
(Stefan rejoins Elena)
Stefan: What are you doing here?
Elena: I could ask you the same thing
(Damon rejoins them)
Damon: Surprise, surprise. Nice tux
(He looks at Elena)
Damon: You're not supposed to be here
Elena: Well, I am, And I'm not leaving until I find out what Esther wants, so shall we?
(Stefan gives her his arm. She looks at Damon. He does the same. They enter)
[Caroline's House]
(Caroline is looking into her wardrobe but doesn't find anything. She looks at Klaus's box, containing the dress)
[Klaus's House]
(Klaus is speaking with a woman. He sees Caroline and looks at her)
Klaus: Good evening
Caroline: I need a drink
(She leaves)
(Elena is at the bar. Finn rejoins her)
Finn: Elena Gilbert, I presume. I'm Finn Mikaelson. You're here to see my mother
Elena: Is she here?
Finn: Her request did not include your friends
Elena: They're protecting me. You may not know, but your mother's already tried to k*ll me once
Finn: If you want to see my mother, you'll need to be alone
Elijah: Uh, if everyone could gather, please
Finn: Excuse me
(He leaves)
(Everyone gathers in the hall. The originals are gathered in the stairs)
Elijah: Welcome. Thank you for joining us. You know, whenever my mother brings our family together like this, it's tradition for us to commence the evening with a dance
(Esther rejoins them. Damon and Stefan look at her)
Damon: Do you see who I see?
Stefan: Oh, yeah
Elijah: Tonight's pick is a centuries-old waltz, so if all of you could please find yourselves a partner, please join us in the ballroom
(Elena sees Esther going upstairs. She goes toward the stairs but Damon stops her)
Damon: Don't even think about it
Elena: She wants to see me alone, Damon
Damon: Well, it sucks to be her, then. Was I not clear this morning?
Elena: I was invited
Damon: You have to tell me before you walk into a lion's den
Elena: Why? So that you can stop me?
Damon: Yes
(He raises his hand)
Damon: It would be rude not to dance, you know
Elena: It is tradition
(She takes his arm and they leave. Stefan looks at them)
(Everyone is in the ballroom, dancing the waltz)
Damon: You look stunning, if it isn't obvious
Elena: Thank you
(Caroline is dancing with Klaus. She looks at Matt and Rebekah, dancing together)
Klaus: I'm glad you came
Caroline: Well, it was either caviar or sympathy casseroles
Klaus: I heard about your father
Caroline: Don't. Seriously
Klaus: Very well. On to more mannered subjects then, like how ravishing you look in that dress
Caroline: I didn't really have time to shop
Klaus: And the bracelet I gave you, what's your excuse for wearing that? You know, you're quite the dancer
Caroline: Well, I've had training. I happen to be miss Mystic Falls
Klaus: i know
(Damon and Elena are still dancing. He makes her turn and then Stefan catches her and they dance)
Elena: He dances, and I didn't even have to beg
Stefan: Well, mayor Lockwood dragged me out here. Couldn't exactly say no
(Caroline is now dancing with Matt)
Caroline: What are you doing? Why are you here with the she devil?
Matt: What was I supposed to say, no? And why the hell are you here with Klaus?
Caroline: Don't even get me started
(Elena and Stefan are still dancing)
Stefan: Took you about 30 seconds to put Damon in a mood
Elena: He's just looking out for me
Stefan: I think he needs to figure out that you can look out for yourself
(She whispers in his hear)
Elena: I need to talk to you
Stefan: Ok, so talk
Elena: I... not here
(They leave)
(Damon is dancing with Rebekah. She's looking at Caroline and Matt, who are dancing together)
Damon: Stop staring. It's creepy
Rebekah: Of course she looks beautiful. Nik gave her everything she's wearing
Damon: Well, you're no dog yourself
Rebekah: Was that supposed to be a compliment?
Damon: You tried to k*ll Elena last night. You don't get compliments
Rebekah: Caveman
(He looks around)
Damon: Where is Elena?
(Stefan and Elena are outside)
Elena: If Esther's secretly on our side, we need to know, but I can't get to her with 2 bodyguards
Stefan: Why are you telling me this?
Elena: Because Damon won't let me anywhere near her without protection, and you care about k*lling Klaus more than you care about anything, so... What? Am I wrong?
Stefan: No, you're not wrong. What do you need me to do?
Elena: Make sure that I can get into that room with Esther alone
Stefan: You sure you can do this?
Elena: I can do this. When we were together, you used to let me make my own decisions. You trusted me. After all this, at least that hasn't changed
(Kol rejoins Rebekah)
Kol: Where's your date?
Rebekah: Flirting with his ex
Kol: You've changed, Becca. You know, settling for mortals is the first sign of weakness
Rebekah: I'm not settling. I brought him here to k*ll him. He's Elena's friend. If he dies, she suffers. But I've already been scolded once, so I was hoping you'd help your baby sister out
Kol: And spit right in the face of mother's rules? I'm in
(Damon rejoins Elena in a room)
Damon: I got your text
(Stefan rejoins them)
Damon: What are we doing in here?
(Stefan breaks Damon's neck. He looks at Elena)
Stefan: Well, better hurry up. Won't be down for long
(She leaves)
(Elena is in the corridor. Elijah rejoins her)
Elijah: Elena. I understand my mother requested to see you
Elena: Uh, yeah. Why? Is something wrong?
Elijah: Well, her ability to forgive my brother after everything he's done to destroy this family strikes me as a little strange to say the least
Elena: Do you think that it's an act?
Elijah: It has me asking questions I never thought I'd ask. Can I depend on you to tell me what she says?
Elena: Of course. I'll find you later, ok?
(Esther and Finn are in a room. Someone knocks ont the door)
Esther: That'll be the girl
(He opens the door. It's Elena)
Finn: You're alone. Wise choice
(He closes the door. Esther is making something burn)
Esther: It's only sage. I've spelled it so we can speak freely without fear of being overheard. That'll be all, Finn. Thank you
(He leaves. Esther looks at Elena)
Esther: You must have a million questions for me, Elena. Please
Elena: How are you alive? Are you a ghost or...
Esther: Not exactly. When I d*ed, the witch Ayana preserved my body with a spell. She was a close friend of mine, an ancestor of your friend Bonnie
Elena: So that's why only Bonnie and her mother could open up the casket. They complete the Bennett bloodline
Esther: I drew power from them and their ancestors, who were with me on the other side
Elena: So you've been on the other side for a thousand years?
Esther: Nature's way of punishing me for turning my family into vampires. But there is a way for me to undo the evil I created
Elena: You're here to help us k*ll Klaus, aren't you?
Esther: One thing at a time, Elena. For now, I simply need your help
(Caroline is outside, looking at a horse. Klaus rejoins her)
Klaus: You like horses?
Caroline: I'm not talking to you until you tell me why you invited me here
Klaus: I fancy you. Is that so hard to believe?
Caroline: Yes
Klaus: Why? You're beautiful. You... you're strong. You're full of light. I enjoy you
Caroline: Well, I'm spoken for. By Tyler
Klaus: I thought you two ended things
Caroline: Yeah, because of you and your freaky sire bond with him
Klaus: So you aren't spoken for. You know, horses are the opposite of people. They're loyal. My father hunted me for a thousand years, and the closest he ever came was the day he k*lled my favorite horse. He... he severed its neck with a sword as a warning
Caroline: Did you ever consider sitting down with your father and talking it out?
Klaus: I'm afraid my relationship with my father was a little more complex than yours
Caroline: Maybe so. But I let my father go with no regrets. And to answer your question, yes, I like horses, but I also like people, and they actually like me. So I'll be inside
(She leaves)
(Elena is still with Esther)
Esther: I understand Rebekah shared the story of my family... How I upset the balance of nature by turning my children into vampires
Elena: She said you did it to protect them from the werewolves
Esther: It's true. But in no time at all, they began to feed on human blood. They ravaged the town with no remorse. Eventually Niklaus turned against me
Elena: How are you gonna k*ll him? He's immortal
Esther: It will take time, magic, and your assistance
Elena: What do I have to do with it?
Esther: My children believe I'm holding this to celebrate our reunion. But in truth, I've gathered them together to perform a ritual. The first step requires blood from a doppelganger.Only a drop. Its essence will be in the champagne toast later on this evening
(She takes a giant needle)
Esther: Will you do it? Or shall I?
(Elena takes off her glove and give her hand to Esther. Esther pricks Elena's finger with the needle and pours the blood in a glass)
Esther: Elijah is more suspicious than the others, so he may need more persuasion, but they must all drink at the toast in order to be linked as one
Elena: What do you mean "linked as one"?
Esther: You said yourself Klaus can't be k*lled, but tonight's spell links all of my children together so that if one goes, they all go
Elena: What?
Esther: I love my family, Elena, but they are an abomination. I betrayed nature when I created them. It's my duty to k*ll them
(Kol drags Rebekah apart from the party)
Kol: I'm itching to k*ll something. What are we waiting for?
Rebekah: The mayor cornered me. Give me 15 minutes to lure Matt outside
Kol: Outside? What's wrong with right here on the stairs? Make a spectacle of it
Rebekah: You sound like an idiot, Kol. Mother would k*ll you if you ruined her party. See you outside
(She leaves)
(Damon wakes up. Stefan's here)
Stefan: Easy, buddy. Don't want you doing anything stupid
(Damon gets up and rushes over Stefan and pushes him against the wall)
Damon: Where's Elena?
Stefan: Exactly where she belongs, talking with Esther
Damon: What did you do?
Stefan: Ah, don't blame me. This was all her, right down to the broken neck. You know, maybe you should stop being such a controlling d*ck, Damon
Damon: Wait. Hang on. I'm the problem here?
Stefan: You're a liability, brother
Damon: I'm trying to keep her alive, Stefan
Stefan: Yeah, well, your emotions are getting in the way of our plan
Damon: My emotions? How is this even happening right now?
Stefan: Maybe because you care too damn much
(He leaves)
(Matt and Rebekah are outside. She looks around them)
Matt: So what are we doing out here?
Rebekah: Just taking a break from the polite chitchat
Matt: It's freezing. Let me get my coat
(They stop by his car)
Rebekah: This is your car?
Matt: Yep. If I could compel myself a Maserati, I would. But I can't
(He takes his jacket from his car and puts it on Rebekah's shoulder)
Rebekah: Oh, I'm a vampire. We don't... Thanks. Let's go back inside. I've got all the fresh air I need
(They leave. Kol watches them leave)
(Elena is back in the hall. Elijah rejoins her)
Elijah: So how was my mother?
Elena: Intense
Elijah: And for what reason did she need to speak with you in private?
(Esther appaears on the stairs. A waiter pass by them. Elijah takes two glass of champagne. Elena looks at Esther. Esther looks at her and smiles)
Elijah: Elena. Should I be concerned about my mother's intentions?
Elena: She just wanted to apologize for trying to have me k*lled
Elijah: So it's true, then? She's forgiven Klaus?
Elena: It's true
(Esther has a glass of champagne in her hand. She makes a speech)
Esther: Good evening, ladies and gentlemen. Waiters are coming round with champagne. I invite you all to join me in raising a glass. It provides me with no greater joy than to see my family back together as one. I'd like to thank you all for being part of this spectacular evening. Cheers
(he raises her glass. Everyone say cheers and raise their glass. All the originals drink. Elijah looks at Elena)
Elijah: Cheers
(They clinks glasses. Elena drinks and Elijah drinks a sip)
(Klaus and Caroline are appart from the party. In a room)
Caroline: So what did you want to show me?
Klaus: One of my passions
(They look at a painting)
Caroline: Impressive. I take the curators at the louvre aren't on vervain
Klaus: Yeah, well, that's their mistake
(She looks at the diamond bracelet)
Caroline: What about these? Where'd you steal this from?
Klaus: Well, that's a long story. But rest assured it was worn by a princess almost as beautiful as you
(She's skeptical. She sees drawings on the table and look at them)
Caroline: Wait a second. Did... Did you do these?
Klaus: Yeah. Actually one of my landscapes is hanging at the hermitage, not that anyone would notice. Have you been?
Caroline: I've never really been anywhere
Klaus: I'll take you. Wherever you want. Rome. Paris. Tokyo?
(They laugh)
Caroline: Must be really nice to just snap your fingers and get whatever you want? Is that why you collect hybrids? A little servant army to take you places and bring you things?
Klaus: You're making assumptions
Caroline: Then why do you need Tyler? Stop controlling him. Give him his life back
Klaus: You know, this has been a fun evening, but I think it's time for you to leave
Caroline: I get it. Your father didn't love you, so you assume that no one else will either. And that's why you compel people or you sire them or you try to buy them off, but that's not how it works. You don't connect with people, because you don't even try to understand them
(She rips the bracelet from her wrist and throws it on the floor. Then, she leaves)
(Rebekah is back inside. Kol rejoins her)
Kol: There you are. I was waiting outside for you. Where's Matt?
Rebekah: About that, I, I changed my mind. I don't want to ruin mother's night
Kol: Don't tell me you like this boy. And what did he do? He gave you 5 seconds of his attention? Don't be so predictable, Rebekah
Rebekah: You don't have to be rude about it. Just leave him be, ok?
(She leaves)
Kol: As you wish, sister
(Elena is about to leave. Damon rejoins her)
Damon: Elena. Did you get what you want?
Elena: Actually, yes
Damon: Good. Tell me on the ride home. We're leaving. Come on
(He catches her arm)
Elena: No, Damon. Let go of me. Look, I'm sorry that I had to, uh, cut you out of the plan
Damon: There shouldn't have been a plan. You shouldn't be here
Elena: Do you think I like going behind your back? I don't. But if I hadn't asked Stefan to help, then you would have tried to be the hero, and you would have ruined everything
Damon: Sorry for trying to keep you alive. Clearly Stefan doesn't give a crap anymore
Elena: Now you're mad at me for including Stefan?
Damon: No, I'm mad at you because I love you!
Elena: Well, maybe that's the problem
(She regrets it immediately)
Elena: No, that's not what I...
Damon: No, I got it, Elena. I care too much. I'm a liability. How ironic is that?
(Caroline rejoins them)
Caroline: Have you guys seen Matt?
(Matt is alone. He hears someone whispering his name. He goes on the balcony and Kol is here)
Kol: Good evening. You're Rebekah's friend. We haven't met
(He raises his hand. Matt shakes his hand)
Matt: Matt Donovan
Kol: Kol Mikaelson
(Kol crashes Matt'a hand. Matt is hurt. Damon arrives)
Damon: Easy on the hand. Guy's a quarterback
(Damon rushes over him and throws him off the balcony. Then, he jumps and hits Kol. He finally breaks his neck. Stefan rejoins him)
Stefan: Damon! Are you crazy?
(The orignals siblings arrive. Elena rushes outside)
Damon: Maybe a little
(He looks at Elena)
Damon: Far be it from me to cause a problem
(He leaves. Everyone look at him)
[Caroline's House]
(Caroline is in her bedroom. She's leaving a voicemail to Tyler)
Caroline: Tyler, it's me. Look, I'm grateful for what you're doing, but... I miss you... and I really wish you were here
(She sees a little box on her bed. She takes it)
Caroline: Seriously. Just give up already
(When she opens i, there's a drawing of her next to a horse. It's from Klaus with the note "Thank you for your honesty". She seems surprised)
[Klaus' House]
(Esther is with Elijah)
Esther: No v*olence. That was all I asked. Rebekah and Kol disgraced our family tonight!
Elijah: It won't happen again, mother. I'll deal with them
(She touches his face)
Esther: Thank you, Elijah. I wish the others were more like you
(He leaves. Finn enter and closes the doors)
Finn: Are we all right to speak freely?
Esther: Yes. The sage still burns
(She takes a paper and starts writing something)
Finn: You're not having second thoughts, are you?
Esther: Of course not. It's just Elijah... He's so moral
Finn: You're doing the right thing, mother
Esther: You understand what this means, don't you? This spell I'm casting tonight will bind you all together as one
Finn: I understand. When it is time, I will be ready to die
Esther: Then we must complete the link
(She takes his hand and cuts it with a Kn*fe. Then makes the blood poor on the paper, where she's written the names of her children. Then she begins to cast a spell. As she casts it, the blood goes from name to name, covering every name and linking them together. A tree is finally formed with the blood)
Esther: The link is complete. You are one
(The page burns)
[Gilbert's House]
(Elena enters with Stefan)
Stefan: So, uh, Esther wants to k*ll her whole family. How's that for mother of the year?
Elena: Yeah. And I got to look Elijah right in the eye and lie to him about it
Stefan: Well, good. Can't say I'll be sorry to see any of 'em go
Elena: I just signed their death sentences, Stefan
Stefan: No, you signed Klaus' death sentence, Elena. Everyone else is just collateral damage
Elena: It's not that simple
Stefan: The family has brought you nothing but darkness, Elena. It is that simple. So, uh... where's Damon? I would think that he'd wanna make sure you got home safely
Elena: I'll call him and let him know
Stefan: What was with him going after kol?
Elena: Damon being self-destructive. I said something I didn't mean
Stefan: So did I. Anyway, uh... Good night
(He leaves but Elena follows him on the porch)
Elena: Stefan. Did you really not feel anything?
Stefan: When?
Elena: How do you do that? Act like you don't care, like you don't feel anything? Because I can't do that. I... I feel. I feel everything
Stefan: Elena, stop
Elena: I'm not going to stop, Stefan, because I don't believe that you feel nothing
Stefan: What? You think I want to be this person? I hurt you, Elena. I bit you. I hate myself for what I did to you
Elena: Then show it. Do something
(She takes his face in her hands)
Elena: Stefan, anything is better than trying to convince me that you don't care
Stefan: I can't
Elena: Stefan...
Stefan: If I let myself care, all I'll feel is pain
[Mystic Grill]
(Matt is at the bar, drinking coffee. Rebekah rejoins him)
Rebekah: Hi. What are you doing?
Matt: Well, let's see. I went to a dance and got my hand crushed, found out that I don't have health insurance, so I just needed a minute to myself
Rebekah: Well, I thought maybe I'd buy you an apology drink
Matt: Maybe you could just leave me alone
Rebekah: Look, I'm--I'm really sorry about Kol. He's a lunatic
Matt: Look, Rebekah, you're really fun and pretty and all... But I really need you to leave me alone
(He leaves. Damon arrives, a bottle in his hand)
Damon: Burn. Rejected by the captain of the football team. Welcome to adolescence
(He drinks)
Rebekah: Shut up, Damon. Knew I should have k*lled him. Mother wouldn't let me
Damon: Well...
(He takes a bottle from the bar)
Damon: Never let people tell you what to do
(He pours two sh*ts of tequila. They drink)
Damon: Besides... You would have broken him in a second
Rebekah: Are you suggesting I can't be gentle?
Damon: No. I'm just saying you should find someone a little more durable. That's all
Rebekah: And who would that be?
[Salvatore's House]
(Damon and Rebekah enter the room. Kissing each other and ripping each other clothes)
