Motel Room
Anna is looking through the journal, while Ben gets ready for his date with Bonnie. Ben stands up and walks over to Anna.
Ben:"Anything?"
Anna:"Not yet. Just a lot of gibberish. Yeah, some people just shouldn't journal."
Ben:"I thought that this Gilbert was the brains." He leans over to look at the journal. Anna looks at him.
Anna:"Don't you have a date?"
Ben:"Yep. Wish me luck."
Ben moves to kiss Anna, but Anna pushes him away, not taking her eyes off of the journal. Anna continues to read on as Ben walks out of the room.
Johnathan voiceover,"I saw her again today—the most beautiful woman in town, with a name just as pretty. Pearl."

Isabela is whiffing various perfumes as Pearl speaks to her.
Pearl:"Have you thought any more of what I've said?"
Isabela:"We'll leave soon, Pearl, I promise. I need to take care of a few things first."
Pearl:"You're going to turn both of them, aren't you?"
Isabela looks at Pearl, mischievous.
Pearl:"Isabela, please. Be careful."
Isabela:"We'll all be safe, I promise."
Isabela looks over Pearl's shoulder and sees Johnathan entering.
Isabela:"Mr. Gilbert's coming. Quick, your cheeks." She pinches Pearl's cheeks. "Perfectly rosy."
Johnathan stands in the doorway and Pearl turns to look at him.

Salvatore Estate 1864
Giuseppe, Damon, and Stefan walk together across their property and converse.
Giuseppe:"As descendants of the Founding Families, they'll want to know that they can count on you."
Stefan:"Of course they can. Is there any doubt?"
Giuseppe:"I'm not sure your brother Damon understands the importance of duty."
Stefan:"Damon left the Confederacy on principle. It was his choice and should be respected."
Giuseppe:"You'll forgive me if I have trouble respecting a deserter."
Damon:"Well, I never asked for your respect."
Giuseppe stops and faces Damon, who halts in front of his father.
Giuseppe:"Good for you, Damon. Because all I have is disappointment."
Stefan feels the tension in the air and changes the topic.
Stefan:"You said the town is in trouble?"
Giuseppe:"There's been too many deaths. It is time for us to fight back and stop these killers."
Stefan:"Killers? What are you talking about?"
Giuseppe:"We live amongst demons."
Damon:"You're being cryptic now, father. Why don't you just say the word?"
Giuseppe:"Vampires. They exist. And they live amongst us. But we have a plan to kill them. And you're going to help us."
Giuseppe looks at Stefan, who nods, understandingly. Giuseppe then looks at Damon. Damon does not make a move to indicate what he's thinking.

Gilbert Residence
Damon is slicing a tomato and talking to Jenna, who is sitting on a counter with a glass of wine in hand.
Damon:"My father never approved of anyone I dated, which only made me want them more. Of course. What about you?"
Jenna:"There were a few guys. Logan isn't the only loser I've dated."
Damon:"They ever find him? Or is he still missing?"
Jenna:"He's not missing. He's in the Bahamas working on his tan. Very entitled, that one. Marches to his own drum." Jenna drains the remainder of her wine. "He's a Fell. They're all snooty."
Damon chuckles and walks over to Jenna, pouring more wine into her glass. She raises her glass to him and Damon turns back around to continue cooking.
Damon:"Hello, Nevaeh." He stares at the beauty in front of him.
Jenna turns around right when me and Elena enters the kitchen. I was shocked to see Damon in my kitchen, and Elena just glared at him, she doesn't like him never will like him, since he abused her, she despises him.
Jenna:"Hey. Where have you two been? We're cooking dinner."
Elena:"I was helping Bonnie get ready for her date."
Damon:"Is Stefan with you?" He said to me.
Nevaeh:"Um—he'll be here soon."
I was leaning against the counter, Elena sat in the chair next to Jenna. Both Jenna and Elena looked at Damon with distaste.

Mystic Falls High School
Stefan and Alaric are still conversing in Alaric's classroom.
Stefan:"How long have you been aware of me?"
Alaric:"I learned just recently. What about your brother?"
Stefan:"You met Damon?"
Alaric:"Who do you think killed my wife?"
Stefan:"Are you certainly that it was Damon?"
Alaric:"I witnessed it."
Stefan:"Of you're here for revenge, this is going to end badly for you."
Alaric:"I just want to find out what happened to my wife."
Stefan:"I thought you just said that Damon..."
Alaric:"Yeah. I saw him draining the life out of her. He must have heard me coming. He just...disappeared. So did her body. They never found her body."
Stefan:"Damon can never know why you're here. He'll kill you without blinking."
Alaric:"I can take care of myself."
Stefan scoffs,"No, you can't. I can help you. If you let me."

Gilbert Residence
Damon places something at the dinner table and heads back to the kitchen. I was carrying plates towards the table and Damon deliberately bumps into me.
Damon:"Whoa. Mmm."
I smiled in a annoyed way and shook my head as I continued on pst Damon to place the plate at the table.
Nevaeh:"Don't do that."
Damon:"Do what?"
Nevaeh:"You know what. That move was deliberate."
Damon:"Well, yeah, I was deliberately trying to get to the sink."
I looked back at Damon and scoffs. Damon, now at the stove, stirs a boiling pot of water.
Damon:"Speaking of Stefan, where is he? He's missing family night, which I am enjoying immensely." He smirks at me.
I walked back into the kitchen to gather more silverware. Damon pauses briefly before changing the topic.
Damon:"Is it real?"
Nevaeh:"Is what real?"
Damon:"This renewed sense of brotherhood." He tastes the food out of the pot and puts it up to my face, I tasted it. "Can I trust him?"
I liked boldly at him,"Yes, you can trust him." I looked at the food and the pot. "It's good."
I walked back to the table to place the napkins. Damon vamp speed over to me. I turned around and looked up at him.
Damon:"Can I trust him?"
Nevaeh:"I'm wearing vervain, Damon. It's not going to work."
Damon:"I'm not compelling you. I just want you to answer me. Honestly."
Nevaeh:"Of course you can."
I moved around Damon and back into the kitchen.

Salvatore Estate 1864
Giuseppe and Isabela are playing croquet in the garden.
Isabela:"You can trust me, Mr. Salvatore. I would never cheat."
Isabela hits the ball with her mallet, knocking it through  the bridge. Giuseppe sighs and Isabela giggles devilishly. Damon and Stefan approaches the pair.
Giuseppe turns to Damon and Stefan,"I'm losing over here. Again!"
Giuseppe takes his turn at the game and Isabela courtesy's at Damon and Stefan. Damon and Stefan stops walking and observes the game.
Damon:"She's good. I almost believe she genuinely likes him."
Stefan:"Perhaps she does."
Damon scoffs,"She knows that father would have her killed of he knew the truth."
Stefan:"Not if we talk to him; explained how we feel. He could help keep her safe."
Damon turns his body towards Stefan and faces him fully.
Damon:"Have you form mad? No, no, father would drive the stake in her himself!"
Stefan:"That's not true. We can trust him."
Damon:"No, not with this. Please, promise me you won't tell him, Stefan."
Damon grips Stefan's shoulder. Isabela watches them from across the garden, her smile faltering. They look over at her.
Stefan:"I promise."

Gilbert Residence
Damon:"There was a time when I trusted him more than anyone."
Nevaeh:"Trust breeds trust. You have to give it to get it."
Damon:"Are you lecturing me?"
I placed my hands on my hips,"Do you need to be lectured?"
Damon:"I just want her back. I'm sure that you can understand that."
Nevaeh:"I can understand that you would do anything for her, yes."
I walked past Damon and places a bowl on the table. Damon threateningly makes his next statement, close behind my back.
Damon:"Then you understand what I will do of anyone gets in my way."
Damon walks away, leaving me looking disturbed.
