"And of course, I broke into the Oval office and took a picture of myself at the window, looking all JFK" Kai told Kol and Damon, "But then I was like, wait, how am I gonna get these photos developed?".

"Oh, my god, just answer the damn question" Damon snapped, getting annoyed with Kai's constant talking, "How are we gonna get out of this Twilight Zone?".

"I got a question for you first" Kai said, making Kol roll his eyes, "Why do you think we're stuck on a repeating loop of May 10th, 1994, doomed to relive a solar eclipse forever and ever and ever?".

"How the bloody hell are we supposed to know?" Kol asked, downing his glass of bourbon.

"Well, I heard Damon tell you this was his own personal hell" Kai replied, "I'm kinda curious why?".

"Don't bother asking, he will never tell you, I've been asking this question for the past four months" Kol replied, "And now can you answer the question, how are we getting out of here? You asked for a can opener, shower drain, grinding wheel, jam, pocket knife, volume 0 of the encyclopedia, a nail and a black marker, I brought everything, what's next?".

"Can't show you with my hands taped" Kai replied, gesturing to his tied up hands.

Kol groaned in annoyance, and walked over to Kai.

"Kol" Damon warned.

"Don't Kol me" Kol snapped, "You've been trying to get him to talk for the past three hours, I'm tired, we are doing this my way now", Kol ripped the tapes off of Kai, finally freeing him.

"Thank you" Kai told Kol.

"Okay, fine" Damon said, "How's this pile of crap gonna get us out of here?".

"I'll explain as soon as you tell me and Kol what you did on May 10th, 1994" Kai replied.

"What difference does it make?" Damon snapped, not wanting to tell Kai and Kol about what happened that day.

"Put it this way, me siphoning Kol is one part of the equation" Kai replied, "My as-yet undisclosed knowledge is the other, which means you would be hitching a ride home for free, I just want to know if you deserve to come along".

"Pause" Kol said, "Why are you siphoning me and not Damon?".

"Because you're an Original" Kai replied, "You have more magic in you then Damon".

"That's just great" Kol mumbled.

Damon glared at Kai, he then grabbed the pocket knife from the table and walked over to Kai, "Or I could just torture you until you say something useful" he threatened, holding Kai's collars and making him stand up.

"If you torture me, I'll get mad and then I won't want to help you" Kai said, he then turned to Kol, "What kind of person needs to have that explained to them?".

"Damon Salvatore does" Kol replied, shoving Damon away from Kai, "Please don't make the one person who can get us back home mad, and why are being so cryptic about what happened on this day?".

"Maybe because I don't want to talk about the worst thing I ever did, Kol" Damon snapped.

"Ooh" Kai said, opening the jam jar, and scooping some jam with his hand, "Now I'm listening".
