Damon is in his bed and hears Elijah's conversation with Elena, Stella and Stefan. He gets up, goes downstairs and joins them. Elijah: Tonight is the full moon. We should assume that Klaus is prepared to break the curse. Stefan: Elena said that the Sun and the Moon curse is fake? Stella: That it's actually just a curse placed on Klaus. Elijah: Klaus is a vampire born of a werewolf bloodline. The curse has kept his werewolf aspect from manifesting. But if he breaks it...He'll be a true hybrid. Damon joins them. Damon: Then why are we letting him break the curse? We can kill him today. With Bonnie. Stefan: Damon... Elena: No. Bonnie can't use that much power without dying. Damon: I'll write her a great eulogy. Elena: It's not an option, Damon. Stefan: All right, how do we break this curse? Elijah: Well, the ritual itself is relatively straightforward. The ingredients, so to speak, you already know. Stella: The moonstone. Elijah: A witch will channel the power of the full moon to release the spell that's bound within the stone. After that, Klaus, being both werewolf and vampire, will sacrifice one of each.
Elena: And where do I fit into it? Elijah: The final part of the ritual. Elijah takes a wooden box from the shelf. Elijah: Klaus must drink the blood of the doppelgänger...to the point of your death. Damon looks at Elena. Stefan takes Elena's hand. She looks at him. He opens the box and takes a jar from it. Elena: And that's where you come in. Elijah: This is an elixir that I acquired some 500 years ago for Katerina. It possesses mystical properties of resuscitation. Elena: So I'll be dead? Elijah: And then you won't. Damon: That's your plan? A magical witch potion with no expiration date? He looks at Elena.
Damon: You want to come back to life, what about John's ring? Elijah: Those rings only work on humans. The doppelgänger's a supernatural occurrence. Odds are, the ring won't work. Damon: I'll take those odds over your elixir. What if it doesn't work, Elena? Elena: Then I guess I'll just be dead. Damon looks at Stefan. He shrugs. Damon looks at Elijah and leaves. Elena: Do we know if Klaus has everything he needs to do this? Does he have a werewolf? Elijah: Klaus has been waiting to break this curse for over a thousand years. If he doesn't already have a werewolf, my guess is by tonight, he will.
Salvatore Boarding House:
Damon is outside, drinking scotch. Stefan and Stella rejoin him. Stefan: Breakfast of champions, huh? Damon: I'm surrounded by idiots. I need all the help I can get. Stella: You know, you're not helping. Damon: Elijah is an original vampire, Stefan. One we tried to kill. You're going to believe this guy? Stefan: What do you want me to do, Damon? Elena made her decision. She's choosing to trust Elijah. I'm going to put my faith in her. Damon: Why? She's going to end up dead. Stefan: Because she put her faith in me. She chose to trust me in spite of what I am. I'm going to bet on somebody's instincts, it's going to be hers. Damon: Well, then, that makes you the biggest idiot of them all. Stella: She chose to trust you, too. Damon: Then maybe you shouldn't be so sure about her instincts. He looks at him, takes a drink from his glass, throws the rest away, and leaves.
