[The students have gathered in the grand hall, where Alaric and Sheriff Matt Donovan are standing at the podium to update them on recent events]

ALARIC: Given our recent influx of monsters, Sheriff Donovan and I have decided we need to take drastic action. Please give him your full attention.

[Matt takes his place at the podium to address the students]

MATT: Like Dr. Saltzman was saying, local girls Dana Lilien and Sasha Stoteraux didn't come home last night.

[Photos of Dana and Sasha are passed throughout the aisles of students]

MATT: Dana sometimes skips town for a few days to party, but this is a first for Sasha.

[Matt, jaw clenched with worry, steps aside so Alaric can return to the podium]

ALARIC: Thank you, Sheriff Donovan.

[MG, seated near the front, looks over at Kaleb, who is seated on his left, with a suspicious expression]

ALARIC: Now, while the knife is away with Dorian and things are quiet on his end, it won't hurt to assume the worst. If Dana and Sasha happened to be found by monster. Now, I'll need a few of you to volunteer to go to Mystic Falls High under the guise of an exchange program meant to improve relations between our schools...

[Alaric briefly looks at Josie, Gracie and Lizzie in the pews in front of him before moving on]

ALARIC: Which, unfortunately, is necessary, given recent events. Now, I give you permission to compel them, to gather materials for locator spells, because any information we can get will make a difference.

[Lizzie, with a look of determination, stands to her feet and buttons her blazer before turning to face her fellow students]

LIZZIE: Well, I guess that I can set aside my differences with Dana for a day... because that is what heroes do.

[Lizzie turns around to face her father]

LIZZIE: So, I volunteer as tribute.

[Hope rolls her eyes and mutters under her breath, clearly exasperated by Lizzie's dramatics]

HOPE: She battles one gargoyle, and suddenly she's Mother Teresa...

MG: I'm in, too.

[In a surprising turn of events, Hope stands to her feet to volunteer for the trip]

HOPE: I'd like to help.

[Josie, Lizzie and Gracie are in there dorm room getting ready]

GRACIE: Liz you have fun at normal high, Jo have fun going class, me personally I am going to be the sane triplet and take advantage of this chaotic situation and skip classes and binge so random semi good show on Netflix.

[Later that day Gracie was walking to the Old Mill to indulge in a drink she sees Landon rushes out of the mill just as Hope walks inside, groaning when she sees the arachne trilling from its position on the third floor, Gracie follows]
