[Gilbert's lake house]

(Elena is reading Jonathan Gilbert's journal)

1864

[Gilbert's house]

(Jonathan is eating with Honoria Fell and a man)

Jonathan: With the dying embers of the fire at Fell's church, the scourge of the vampires had passed. And though war raged all around us, our town was safe from the demons of the night... Or so we thought. For the monsters we drove to their fiery deaths had begat new monsters.

(They hear a noise)

Honoria: Did you hear that?

(Thomas looks trough the window and takes a knife)

Thomas: Stay here

Honoria: No, Thomas

Thomas: It's all right, dear, the vampires are all dead

Jonathan: Yes, Honoria... they burned in the church. We're safe now

(Thomas leaves)

Honoria: Please, Jonathan. I'm worried

Jonathan: Very well. I shall go too

(He rejoins Thomas outside)

(Thomas is outside looking around him. Jonathan rejoins him)

Jonathan: I can prove there are no vampires

(He takes the magical compass but he doesn't react)

Jonathan: See?

(Suddenly the compass works showing that there is a vampire. When he turns himself, Thomas is gone)

Jonathan: Thomas? Thomas?!

(Thomas body falls on the floor. Honoria gets out of the house)

Honoria: Thomas!

Jonathan: No, stay inside! Get back in the house!

(The vampires kills her and goes toward Jonathan)

Jonathan: I knew I was about to die. You can not run from a vampire. I saw the vampire who killed me. I recognized him. Stefan Salvatore

Nowadays

[Gilbert's lake house]

(Elena is surprised. And look at Stefan through the window)

[Gilbert's lake house]

(Stefan is outside, looking at the lake. His phone rings. He answers)

Stefan: What's going on?

Damon: Well, I showered. I shaved. Had breakfast. Very relaxed

Stefan: That makes one of us

Damon: I did hear one piece of good news though. Tyler Lockwood ran away from home last night.

Stefan: How do you know?

Damon: Well, I heard it from sheriff Forbes, who heard it from a very distraught Carol Lockwood, thus, ending our werewolf chapter, bringing us to...

Stefan: ...killing Elijah

Damon: Exactly

Stefan: Well, it's not going to be easy. He's crafty

Damon: Well, I've got a crafty little dagger

Stefan: He's an Original. We don't know what all that encompasses

Damon: Oh, trust me, Stefan. I'm gonna dot all my t's. I don't want any surprises

Stefan: Wow, Damon, tell me you're actually gonna be careful for once

Damon: Yes, Stefan, I've become you. How tragic for both of us. Got to run. I've a murder to plan. Busy day

(He hangs up)

[Somewhere in Mystic Falls]

(Elijah and Jenna are walking)

Jenna: The old Fell property actually starts just beyond that fence

Elijah: Ah, the Fells... one of the Founding Families

Jenna: Why do you say it like that?

Elijah: My research showed me that this area was actually settled almost two full centuries earlier. It was a migration of townsfolk from the northeast, um, it was Salem, to be precise

Jenna: Massachusetts? As in the witch trials?

Elijah: Which means the ever lauded founding families... They didn't actually found anything

Jenna: Well, I bet it was the men who made a big deal about being founders back in 1860. Men are very territorial

Elijah: Yes, they are

(Alaric rejoins them)

Jenna: Elijah, this is my friend, Alaric Saltzman

Alaric: Yeah, I got your message about walking Elijah here through the old property lines. I thought I would tag along. You know being a history buff and all. Where to next?

Elijah: I'm pretty curious about the freed slave property owners. Some say, you know, the descendents of the slaves are the true keepers of American history

Jenna: Well, I only brought the surveys. I got the list in the car. just give me a sec

(She goes to her car leaving them alone)

Elijah: Alaric Saltzman. So you're one of those people on Elena's list of loved ones to protect

Alaric: So is Jenna

Elijah: You don't have to be jealous. I don't really pursue younger women. It's a joke, Ric, lighten up

Alaric: Right

[Mystic Grill]

(Jeremy arrives and sees Bonnie. He smiles and rejoins her)

Jeremy: Hey, whatcha doin'?

Bonnie: Thinking about last night

Jeremy: Yeah, yeah. Me, too

Bonnie: It was a tough spell. I could feel it draining me. I need practice

Jeremy: Yeah, well, uh, maybe, I don't know… Maybe you should come over tonight. We can practice. Get stronger

Bonnie: Yeah, sure. Thanks

(He sees Luka coming toward us)

Jeremy: Ah, incoming

Luka: You want to tell me what the hell happened yesterday?

Bonnie: Sorry?

Luka: Don't play dumb. You both were here and...

Jeremy: And?

Luka: And that's all I remember. One minute I'm playing pool and the next I'm waking up in a bathroom stall

Bonnie: Sorry, Luka, but everything seemed normal yesterday. I brought you a coffee and we played pool

Luka: See, I think you're lying

(Jeremy gets up)

Jeremy: And I think you need to back off

(Luka looks at them and leaves)

[Gilbert's lake house]

(Stefan enters while Elena is reading Jonathan Gilbert's journal)

Elena: Are you still mad?

Stefan: Yeah, I'm still mad

Elena: We had a difference of opinion, Stefan, we're not always gonna agree on everything

Stefan: Elena, you've agreed to sacrifice yourself to Klaus. To say that we have a difference of opinion is the understatement of the century

Elena: You would know

(He looks at the journal)

Stefan: What does Jonathan Gilbert have to say?

Elena: A lot. It's insane the things he wrote in his journal that he kept from the founding families. Stuff that nobody knows. Stuff that... You never told me

Stefan: We were, uh... We were angry at the founding families for what they did to Katherine. We wanted revenge. I didn't know about Jonathan Gilbert's ring yet. I didn't know that he would... that he would survive

Elena: He describes you as a monster

Stefan: That's what I was. I want you to know the truth... But I want you to hear it from me. In the weeks after I became a vampire, I relished in it. I took it to the darkest place I could

1864

(Stefan is drinking blood from a woman, she's dead. Two women are dancing)

Stefan: Who wants to die next?

Woman 1: Me, I'm next

Woman 2: Me, you promised me

(He looks at the woman who's playing piano)

Stefan: What about you? You know if you don't pick up the tempo, you're going to lose your head. Snap. Snap

(He rushes over one of the women and drinks her blood. Damon arrives)

Damon: Company, brother?

Stefan: I brought enough to share

Damon: Are you mad bringing them here when the entire town is hunting us?

Stefan: Damon, if you're worried about the founding families, please don't be. They're all dead or about to be

(Damon rushes over one of the women and compels her)

Damon: Leave this place. Never think of it again

(He compels the other)

Damon: Same for you. Leave this place. Never think of it again

Stefan: Damon, don't be like this. I'm just having some fun

Damon: Staying alive is more fun, Stefan. We have to be more careful than this. More clever. Like Katherine was

Stefan: Look what that got her

Damon: I'm done here. With you. I'm leaving town

Stefan: You hate me. I know. I know. An eternity of misery and on and on. I know, but you don't have to leave town. Damon, I'll do better. I promise

Damon: No, you will get us killed. I'd rather leave you to do that to yourself.

(He leaves)

Nowadays

[Gilbert's lake house]

Stefan: I wasn't myself then. I was full of guilt. What I did to my father, to my brother. I had to turn it off. It was the only way I could survive

Elena: It sounds like you were Damon

Stefan: I was worse

[Mystic Grill]

(Alaric, Damon and Andie are at a table)

Damon: Other than the lecture on the history of Mystic Falls, did you get anything out of Elijah?

Alaric: No, it was boring. Of course, Jenna thinks he's charming

Damon: You sounded jealous. Sound a bit jealous?

Andie: Kinda do

Alaric: Maybe we shouldn't talk about this here

(He looks at Andie)

Damon: Andie, she's been compelled not to divulge my secrets. Haven't you?

Andie: Uh-huh. Mmm. My lips are sealed

(Damon and her kiss. Alaric looks at them)

Alaric: This is too weird

Damon: I just need the right opportunity

(He sees Jenna and Elijah)

Damon: Ah, there's Jenna with her new boyfriend. Hi

(Elijah and Jenna rejoin them)

Jenna: Hey, guys

Damon: So I hear you two had quite a meeting of historical minds today

Jenna: Yeah, I guess you could say that.

Alaric: Well, as much as I'd love to continue this, I've got papers to grade

(He gets up)

Andie: No, you know what? We should continue this. Let's have a dinner party

Damon: Ooh, my girl. Full of good ideas. I'll be happy to host. Say tonight. Maybe?

Andie: It's good for me. Jenna?

Alaric: I don't know if tonight works...

Jenna: I'm free

Elijah: It'd be a pleasure

Damon: Great

[The tomb]

(Katherine's body is desiccated. Damon gives her blood)

Damon: Great. Drink up. Good girl

(She drinks)

Damon: I've come bearing gifts. I didn't have time to properly shop, but I did get a couple of things. Hmm?

(He gives her some clothes. Katherine's normal again thanks to the blood)

Damon: Wow, that blood did the trick. You're almost pretty again

Katherine: What is it you want, Damon?

Damon: Guess who's back in town? Your old friend, John Gilbert

Katherine: Really. Why?

Damon: Says he loves his daughter, Wants to protect her from Elijah and big, bad Klaus

Katherine: Touching

(She gets up and takes a jacket from the clothes Damon brought)

Damon: Yeah, right. He told me this old wives tale about how to kill an Original

Katherine: And you want to know if it's true. If it was, I wouldn't tell you

Damon: Now, why not? I mean, you want Elijah and Klaus dead as much as I do

Katherine: Klaus, yes. Elijah, no. He's compelled me to stay in here. If he dies, I'm stuck forever

Damon: Sucks for you

Katherine: Forget it, Damon. Killing Elijah would be a suicide mission. You can't do it

Damon: Can so

Katherine: Can't

Damon: Even with a dagger and a little white oak ash?

(She seems surprised)

Katherine: No. Damon, if you kill Elijah, then I'm stuck in here forever

Damon: You're really scared

Katherine: Just get me out of here first and then I'll help you. I'll... I'll help you kill Elijah or... or protect Elena. Whatever you want

Damon: I get you out of here and your ass is sipping Klaus-free margaritas on some unknown island somewhere. No way

Katherine: That's not true. I'll stay. Damon, please just don't do it

Damon: Well, thank you, you've told me everything I need to know

Katherine: I've told you nothing

Damon: You have. You have indeed confirmed that it is possible to kill an Original, which I will do tonight. Guess who's coming to dinner?

[Gilbert's lake house]

stefan: For weeks I kept spiraling. I was completely driven by the desire for blood. Hunt, prey, kill. That was all I knew

Elena: How come no one caught on to what you were doing?

Stefan: Mmm. There was a war going on. The thing about wartime. Endless, anonymous blood supply

1864

[The woods]

(Stefan is drinking blood on a dead man when he sees a woman. he follows her and turns around her to finally jumps on her. but she turns herself above him. Her face has changed. It's Lexi)

Lexi: Ah! What kind of an idiot are you?

Nowadays

[Gilbert's lake house]

Stefan: Alexia Branson, as she was known back then

Elena: Lexi? Your best friend Lexi? That's how you met her? What was she even doing in Mystic Falls?

Stefan: She had heard it was a good place for vampires. You know, had no idea that they'd all been massacred. Needed a place to crash, so I brought her home with me

1864

(Lexi and Stefan enter the Salvatore's house)

Lexi: I'd say it isn't necessary to take me in, but you did try to eat me and well, with dawn coming, beggars can't be choosers. Or should they be?

(She sees girl's bodies)

Stefan: I, um...I meant to dispose of those

Lexi: My God, you're a ripper

Stefan: A what?

Lexi: There are good parts of being a vampire and there are bad parts. You're the bad parts. Well... we're going to have to change that

Nowadays

[Gilbert's lake house]

Elena: Are you okay?

Stefan: Talking about her brings up things I'd rather forget

Elena: Like Damon killing her?

[Salvatore's house]

(Jenna and Andie are preparing the table for the dinner)

Andie: So what's going on with you and Alaric? I feel like there's some tension

Jenna: I don't know. I really like him. It's more than like and I want it to work, but I can't help but feel that he's hiding something from me. And then I've got John whispering things in my ear about him

Andie: Like what?

Jenna: Things I don't want to believe. Things I don't believe, not if they're coming from John's mouth

Andie: Oh. Well, there you go, then. Trust is the key to any relationship. I mean, I am so grateful that Damon tells me everything

(Damon and Alaric are in the library)

Alaric: This is a bad idea

Damon: There's no such thing as a bad idea. Just poorly executed awesome ones. Here

(He gives him a glass of scotch)

Alaric: No. I don't like the idea of Elijah being in the same house with Jenna

Damon: Jenna's perfectly safe. Besides, it's just a fact-finding mission. It's totally harmless

Alaric: Just a fact-finding mission

Damon: Yeah

Alaric: Listen, no sneak attacks. No surprise plans. Nothing that's gonna put Jenna in harm's way. Ok?

Damon: Scout's honor

(Andie arrives)

Andie: Hey, Jenna needs help with the wine

(Alaric leaves to help Jenna. Damon waits for him to be gone and then opens a wooden box from which he takes the dagger and the white oak ash)

Andie: What's that?

Damon: Dessert

(He puts some of the ash on the dagger)

Damon: Elijah's stronger than me. Faster than me. It's all about the element of surprise

Andie: Ah, it's too bad. I like him. He's very old-school. Classy

Damon: Which is why you should encourage the gentlemen to take their after dinner drinks in here while you do coffee in the kitchen with the girls

(He hides the dagger with the glasses)

Andie: Hmm. That is a little too sexist for me

Damon: Stop talking

(The ring bells. Jenna opens the door. It's John. Damon rejoins them)

Jenna: Who invited him?

Damon: John! Surprise... Leave

John: When Jenna told me she was coming to a dinner party for Elijah, I decided I couldn't miss out on all the fun and games

Alaric: There are not going to be any games tonight, John. It's just a friendly dinner party

Damon: What he said

[Gilbert's house]

(Jeremy opens the door to Bonnie)

Jeremy: Hey

Bonnie: Hey

(He takes her bag)

Bonnie: Thanks. That thing weighs a ton. I'm starving. You guys have any... food?

(She enters the house and sees a lot of candles in the living room)

Bonnie: Oh, God. Heh! This is a date

Jeremy: No, no it's not like a date, date. More of a hey, I kissed you, and I thought you liked it, um... hang thing

Bonnie: Jeremy, I need to make sure Elena is cool with this before anything else happens

Jeremy: I didn't realize my sister had approval over who I'm with

Bonnie: She's my best friend, I tell her everything and this whole hang thing might freak her out

Jeremy: All right, all right, so we'll, um... We'll hang out, eat some food, work on some spells. It's not a big deal. But you did... You did like it, right?

(She smiles)

Bonnie: Yeah. I liked it

[Salvatore's house]

(Damon opens the door. It's Elijah)

Elijah: Good evening

Damon: Thank you for coming. Please, come in

Elijah: Just one moment. Can I just say that if you have anything less than honorable intentions about how this evening is going to proceed, I suggest you reconsider

Damon: No, nothing, nothing dishonorable. Just getting to know you

Elijah: Hmm. Well, that's good. Because, you know, although Elena and I have this deal, if you so much as make a move to cross me, I'll kill you and I'll kill everyone in this house. Are we clear?

Damon: Crystal

(Elijah sees Jenna, smiles and rejoins her in the house)

Elijah: Jenna. Wonderful to see you again. How are you? Nice to see you. You look incredible

Jenna: Thank you

(They are all sitting around the table for the dinner)

Jenna: I hate to break it to you, Damon, but according to Elijah, your family is so not a founder of this town

Damon: Hmm, do tell

Elijah: Well, as I mentioned to Jenna earlier, a faction of settlers migrated from Salem after the witch trials in the 1690s. Over the next hundred years they developed this community where they could feel safe from persecution

Jenna: Hmm. Because they were witches

Andie: Yeah, but there's no tangible proof there were witches in Salem

Damon: Andie's a journalist. Big on facts

Elijah: Well, the lore says that there was this wave of anti-witch hysteria. It broke out in the neighboring settlement, so these witches were rounded up. They were tied to stakes in a field together and, uh, burned. Some say you could hear the screams from miles around us. They were consumed by the fire. Could you pass the...

Jenna: I wouldn't repeat this to the Historical Society

John: It's starting to sound a little like a ghost story to me

Damon: So why do you want to know the location of these alleged massacres?

Elijah: You know... a healthy historian's curiosity, of course

Damon: Of course

[Gilbert's lake house]

(Stefan rejoins Elena. She's reading one of Jonathan's Gilbert journal)

Elena: Jonathan Gilbert got crazier and crazier. I guess that's what happens when you spend your life obsessed with vampires

(She takes another journal and starts reading)

Elena: He researched the Originals

Stefan: You're kidding

(He rejoins her on the couch)

Elena: Later in life, Look

(She shows him the journal)

Elena: Pages and pages of questions and scribbles. What's that?

(She shows him a drawing of a dagger ans starts reading out loud)

Elena: "The wood from one tree and one tree alone, an ancient white oak would bring death to an Original vampire. When the tree burned, all hope was thought lost." He was trying to figure out how to kill an Original

(She reads out loud again)

Elena: "But the ash from the tree was saved and witches forged a dagger to which the ash could be bonded. This alchemic bond provides the necessary poison"

Stefan: Elena...

Elena: I wonder if this is true. I mean, do you think this dagger actually exists?

Stefan: I know it does... Because John gave it to Damon

Elena: John gave Damon the weapon that's supposed to kill Elijah? This one?

(She reads out load again)

Elena: "It must be brandished by humans alone, for it will bring death to all demons who wield it"

Stefan: John's trying to get Damon killed

(Stefan rushes toward his phone)

[Salvatore's house]

Damon: Does anyone care for some cognac? I have a bottle I've been saving for ages

Alaric: None for me thanks. Nine bottles of wine is my limit

[Gilbert's lake house]

(Stefan is calling Damon but he doesn't answer)

Stefan: Why is your phone off? Call me

Elena: What's going on, Stefan?

Stefan: Damon is planning on killing Elijah. Tonight

[Salvatore's house]

(Damon looks at Andie)

Andie: The gentlemen should take their drinks in the study

Elijah: I have to say the food was almost as wonderful as the company

Andie: I like you

(Jenna gives some plates to John)

Jenna: Here you are, gentleman, make yourself useful. Hmm?

Alaric: Here, here. Put me to work

Jenna: Um, I got it

Alaric: Hey, Jenna, are you... are you ok?

Jenna: Yeah, fine, Ric

(She leaves. John looks at him)

John: I suspect this is my fault

(Alaric grabs him)

Alaric: What did you do now?

John: I merely mentioned you haven't been completely honest with her about your dead wife

Alaric: You son of bitch

John: I think I've been very clear with you, Ric. I want my ring back

(he leaves. Alaric's phone rings. He takes it)

Alaric: Hello. Slow down. Slow down. Stefan?

(Damon and Alaric are in the library)

Damon: So, let me guess. In addition to the moonstone, the doppelganger, the lion, the witch and the wardrobe, you need to find this witch burial ground

Elijah: Because I feel as though we've grown so close, Damon, I'll tell you yes. Do you know where it is?

Damon: Maybe. Tell me why it's so important

(He gives a glass of scotch to Elijah)

Elijah: We're not that close

(He looks at the books)

Elijah: It's quite a collection you have here

Damon: Hmm

Elijah: It's a funny thing about books. Before they existed, people actually had memories

(Damon takes the dagger but Alaric and Andie interrupt them so he hides the dagger again)

Alaric: Gentlemen, we forgot about dessert

Andie: Elijah

Elijah: Miss Star...

(He leaves with her. Alaric write on a paper that if he uses the dagger, he'll die with Elijah)

(Andie and Elijah rejoin Jenna and John)

Jenna: Sorry, guys, dessert is taking longer than I thought. I usually just unwrap food

Andie: So... I know this is a social thing, but I... I would really love to ask you some more questions about the work that you're doing here

Elijah: I'd love to answer

Andie: Great, that's so great

(Damon and Alaric rejoin them)

Andie: Ric, would you do me a favor and grab the notebook out of my bag?

Damon: Elijah, did John tell you he's Elena's uncle/father?

Elijah: Yes, I'm well aware of that

Damon: Of course, she hates him, so there's absolutely no need to keep him on the endangered species list

(John looks at him. Alaric doesn't find Andie's notebook)

Andie: Ric, it's in the front pocket. On the... you know what? Excuse me, guys. Sorry

(She rejoins Alaric)

John: What I'd like to know, Elijah, is how do you intend on killing Klaus?

Elijah: Gentlemen, there's a few things we should probably get clear right now. I allow you to live solely to keep on eye on Elena. I allow Elena to remain in her house living her life with her friends as she does as a courtesy. If you become a liability, I'll take her away from you and you'll never see her again

(Andie comes back with her notebook)

Andie: Ok. My first question is when you got here to Mystic...

(alaric arrives and drives the dagger through Elijah's heart. He's dead. Everyone's surprised)

Alaric: Now, get rid of him before Jenna comes back with dessert

Damon: All right

[Gilbert's lake house]

(Elena is outside. Stefan rejoins her)

Stefan: Elena, we need to talk about this

Elena: What good is talking if you and Damon are just gonna lie to me? If you don't like my decisions, that's fine. There's nothing I can do about that but if you ever go behind my back again, I'll...

Stefan: you're gonna what? Hmm? What are you gonna do, Elena?

Elena: It's my life

Stefan: Yeah, exactly. It's your life and I'm gonna do everything I can to make sure that you live it

Elena: Then what? This... this... this trip through the past. You being honest. Was there any truth to that or were you just distracting me?

Stefan: I was telling you about a time when I thought everything was lost. When I had given up because that's exactly what you're doing right now

Elena: That is not what...

Stefan: Yes, it is! Even if you don't want to admit it. You are giving up... and Lexi? she wouldn't let me give up. I'm not gonna let you

1864

(Stefan and Lexi are surrounded by dead soldiers. They're walking)

Lexi: All of these men are dead or dying. What does that make you feel?

Stefan: Nothing. I feel nothing

Lexi: Because you shut out the part of you that was human. The part that lets you feel

Stefan: Is that not the point?

Lexi: Well, there is a better way. You simply have to want it

Stefan: Is it better?

Lexi: Not at first. You can't choose what you feel. You have to let it all back in. The pain and the look in their eyes when you took their life. The cries of their loved ones

Stefan: Why would I want to do that? Hmm?

Lexi: Because once you can hurt, you can love. Love, Stefan. That's the point. Everything is intensified when you're a vampire. When we hurt, we really hurt. But when we love...

Nowadays

[Gilbert's lake house]

Stefan: Lexi showed me that there was another way. And from that day forward, I started fighting for it. For my own survival. That's all I want you to do. I just want you to fight for it

[Salvatore's house]

(Alaric and Damon are in the cellar with Elijah's body)

Alaric: Now, you said there wasn't going to be any violence

Damon: Says the guy that did all the killing

Alaric: Hey, I took the shot because I saw an opening, not because I planned to do this with Jenna in the house. Now, you can't lie to me like that. Hey, I am your friend, damn it. And you don't have any friends. So, no more lying

(Damon nodds and leaves)

[Gilbert's lake house]

Stefan: Elijah's dead. Alaric did it

Elena: Originals believed in truth and honor. It was forbidden for a vampire to kill another vampire. So, the dagger would take both lives. And as long as the dagger stays in place, the Original, for all intents and purposes, is dead

[Salvatore's house]

(Damon rushes in the cellar but Elijah's gone)

[Jonas and Luka's appartment]

(Elijah opens the door. He has blood on his chemise)

Jonas: What happened?

Elijah: I need you to find Elena. Now

[Gilbert's house]

(Bonnie is practicing on candles)

Jeremy: Ah... now, that is cool. How does it work?

Bonnie: It's called channeling. Siphoning power from something... another witch... the Moon, an element

Jeremy: So, technically, you could channel me

Bonnie: What?

Jeremy: Well, I'm an element, sort of. I mean, isn't... isn't the human body mostly water?

Bonnie: You're right. Let's... see what happens

(They get closer and she puts her hand on his chest but suddenly Jonas arrives)

Jeremy: What the hell are you doing here?

(Jonas throws him on the wall with his powers)

Bonnie: Jeremy!

Jonas: What did my son tell you? What did he tell you?

Bonnie: He told me about your daughter. I know Klaus has her and I want to help you get her back. But i want us to work together. Please

(He grabs her face)

Jonas: This is for your own good

(He cast a spell)

Bonnie: No! No. No!

(He releases her. She's crying)

Jonas: If any harm comes to my son because of what you did, you will answer to me

(He leaves and realeases jeremy from the wall. Jeremy rushes over Bonnie)

Jeremy: You ok? It's ok. What happened?

Bonnie: He took my powers

[Gilbert's lake house]

(Elijah arrives at the house. He grabs some rocks. Elena and Stefan are outside. Stefan hears something)

Stefan: He's here

(Elijah throws the rocks on the door. She explodes. Elena and Stefan are inside)

Elena: You have to go. I need to talk to him alone

Stefan: Elena...

Elena: Stefan, I'm ok. He can't come in the house

(Elijah gets closer to the house)

Elijah: You know, I might not be able to enter this house... But I'm a very patient man. I'll wait you out

(Elena goes at the door but stays inside)

Elena: They shouldn't have done what they did

Elijah: The deal is off

Elena: I'm renegotiating

Elijah: You have nothing left to negotiate with

(She has a knife in her hands. She shows it to him)

Elena: I'd like to see you lure Klaus into Mystic Falls after the doppelganger bleeds to death

Elijah: Stefan won't let you die

Elena: No, he won't. He'll feed me his blood to heal me, and then I'll kill myself and become a vampire, just like Katherine did. So unless you want that to happen again, promise me the same as before... promise me... You won't harm anyone that I love. Even if they've harmed you

Elijah: I'm sorry, Elena. I'm going to have to call your bluff

(She stabs herself in the stomach. She's bleeding. Elijah rushes over her but he can't get in)

Elijah: No! Yes. Yes, you can have your deal. Let me heal you

Elena: Give me your word!

Elijah: I give you my word!

(She goes outide and goes in his arms. He takes her in his arms but she kills him with the dagger. he falls on the floor. He's dead. Elena falls on the floor too. She's bleeding. Stefan rushes over her and gives her his blood. Damon rejoins them)

Damon: Little tip. Don't pull the dagger out

[Gilbert's house]

(Alaric rejoins Jenna in the kitchen)

Alaric: Where did John disappear to?

Jenna: Maybe the same place the rest of the dinner party ran off to

Alaric: Look, Jenna, I'm, uh... I'm so sorry tonight was...

Jenna: what happened to Isobel?

Alaric: You know, John should have never brought that up

Jenna: That's not an answer

Alaric: He's just trying to stir up trouble

Jenna: That's not an answer, either

Alaric: I can't talk about this, Jenna

Jenna: I keep thinking that maybe it's me. Maybe I'm reading into things. I should trust you. That's what a relationship is about, right? But then I think that maybe John is right and maybe you're not being honest with me. So... are you being honest?

(He doesn't answer. She cries)

Jenna: Right, ok. ...that was an answer

(She leaves. John enters the kitchen)

John: Well, that was awkward. You know, I can clear all this stuff up about Isobel tomorrow, if you want Or not

(He takes the magical ring off)

Alaric: You want it? Take it. It's yours

(He puts the ring on the table and smiles)

Alaric: And after what you did to Damon... You're gonna need it more than me

(He leaves)

[Salvatore's house]

(Damon, Stefan and Elena are in the cellar with Elijah's body. Damon search on him and finds the moonstone)

Damon: Uhh! What do we have here? A little moonstone bar of soap. I'll hold on to this

Elena: So, that's it. I mean, as long as we keep the dagger in there, then he stays dead

Damon: Pretty much

Elena: Ok, then... Good night. You know, you guys want me to fight, fine, I'll fight. But if we're gonna do this, you can't keep anything from me anymore. From this moment on, we're doing it my way

Damon: That seems fair

(She looks at Stefan)

Stefan: Okay

Elena: Okay

(She leaves)

Damon: Seems like she's had a change of attitude. How did you get through to her?

Stefan: I told her a little story about when I was making the wrong decisions and somebody showed me there was a better way

Damon: Lexi?

Stefan: Yeah. You remember her?

1864

(Damon is leaving. Lexi intecepts him)

Lexi: Going somewhere?

Damon: You must be the vampire I hear my brother complaining about

Lexi: That would be me. And you must be the brother who hates him

Damon: We are at irreparable odds

Lexi: You know the hate you're feeling towards Stefan? Towards everyone? You think you have it under control but you don't. It will get the best of you

Damon: Help him. He needs it

Lexi: I'll help him

Nowadays

[Salvatore's house]

(Damon goes in his bedroom and hears someone in the shower)

Damon: Andie? I thought you left

(He goes to the shower and when he sees that's Katherine, he's stunned)

Katherine: Hello, Damon. Hey, do you have a robe?

Damon: How did you get out?

Katherine: I knew that if I begged you not to kill Elijah, that's exactly what you'd do. Little known fact... Originals can compel vampires. But as soon as they die, the compulsion wears off

Damon: And you knew

Katherine: And I'm still here. I didn't run. I meant what I said to him, Damon. I'm going to help you

(She's naked)

Katherine: So... How about that robe?
