2. SHE IS THE CURE

"Hang on here.. Katherine's still alive? How is that possible?" Matt asked as everyone was settled in the library of the Salvatore residence except for Bonnie and Jeremy.
"Remember that time Nadia's ex, Gregor, hitched a ride in your head?" Caroline asked before Matt nodded. "Yeah, well, it's kind of the same thing. Katherine is a passenger in Elena, except it's worse, because none of us seemed to notice!"
"She was at my house... How did none of us figure it out?" Tyler asked.
"Because it's Katherine and she's smart, and conniving, and sneaky... and we're the worst friends ever." Caroline said.
"This makes no sense. She saved my life. She gave me CPR when Enzo tried to kill me. Katherine would never do that." Jeremy said on the phone.
"That's what made her so believable. She played Elena to a tee. If she let you die, her cover was blown." Bonnie told him.
"I was sleeping three feet away from her! She picked out my Bitter Ball dress. And I let her use my toothpaste!" Caroline said.
"Well, did she lure you into a hotel room to make out with you?" Stefan asked as he came into the room.
"She's the reason I found out about you and Klaus." Tyler said looking at Caroline.
"Of course! Oh my god!" Caroline gasped.

Klaus. Who may or may not be the father of her "miracle" child.

"So, how do we kill the bitch?" Tyler asked angrily.
"Well, passengers can be expelled from the host. We saw it happen with Matt. Gregor died, and Matt lived. All we have to do is stab her with the Traveller knife." Stefan told them.
"I still have the knife Nadia gave me." Matt said.
"Perfect! Go get it." Stefan told him.
"Wait, you guys! This is Katherine we're talking about. She's going to see a sneak attack from a mile away. We've got to get her to come to us. Get her guard down, corner her." Caroline told them.
"Fat chance you'll be seeing her today. I'm pretty sure I bit Nadia." Tyler admitted.
"What do you mean, you bit her?" Matt asked the Hybrid.
"I mean, she was attacking Caroline, and I might've nipped her a little." Tyler replied.
"And you're just mentioning this now?" Matt asked.
"Hey guys! Focus. Tyler's right. Katherine's not going to leave Nadia's side, unless not leaving compromises her identity." Caroline told them.
"Which means...?" Matt looked at the blonde.
"We've got to invite her to something that Elena can't say no to." Caroline told them.

~WHITMORE CAMPUS~

Bonnie and Jeremy sit on a bench on campus while they talk to Caroline on speaker phone

"A surprise party? Seriously? I wanted a spa day." Bonnie whiled as her boyfriend eyes her. "You try feeling the death of every supernatural creature who passes through you on their way to the Other Side."
"I'm not saying you don't deserve it. Besides, her birthday isn't until next week." Jeremy said.
"That's what makes it a surprise!" Caroline said, on the phone.

~ABANDONED BUILDING/SALVATORE BOARDING HOUSE~

Caroline calls Katherine to put the gang's scheme in motion.

"Yeah, I don't think Bonnie would want a big party for her birthday." Katherine, pretending to be Elena, said.
"Of course she does! So when can you get over to Stefan's to help us set up?" Caroline asked her 'friend'
"I can't." Katherine sighed.
"You can't?" Caroline asked.
"I would love to, but I just... I can't?" Katherine draws a blank for a plausible lie. "Um...I'm making arrangements for Aaron Whitmore's funeral. The only reason Damon killed him was because we broke up, so I kinda feel like I owe it to Aaron. You understand right?" She asked.
"Of course! No, that's really nice of you!" Caroline, clearly upset, but fake smiles before hanging up. "Ugh." She groaned as she rubbed her head.
