Proper Punishment ...

With a kick that literally flattens the door, Stefan enters the warehouse, followed by everyone else.

The door was the deafening noise. The flash comes from Jace's sword, reflecting the sunlight coming in through the window at dawn, which he shows as soon as he sees Alfred trying to strangle Jason.

Without saying anything, just exchanging a glance, Jace and Matt attack with perfectly synchronized movements. Matt grabs Alfred, throws him to the ground, not very kindly, and positions his body so that Jace can kneel over Alfred and put the sharp sword to his throat.

And the heat, that familiar heat, as you might've guessed, comes from Stefan, who stands over Alfred's head with his burning hands, ready to burn him alive.

Sebastian, Lois, and Damon are left behind. This is a matter for the angels and the best they can do is leave it to them.

Mary, Lucida, and Nicolae run to the unconscious Laura, while Cecilia flies to Jason, who's fallen to the ground and is gasping for breath ...

... After the kiss and in his right mind, Jason looks around. Despite the pain in his leg and the burning in his throat, he smiles when he sees his tormentor begging for mercy in fear.

Oh, yeah. That's exactly what Alfred is doing. He begs for mercy, cries like a baby, and asks for forgiveness. But Jace has no intention of ending it just like that.

With his sword at Alfred's throat, he presses the sharp blade lightly into the soft skin and makes a small cut. So much so that a few drops of blood flow and Alfred realizes that the man who literally holds his life in his hands isn't kidding. Jace's eyes glow gold and are filled with hatred for the man who tortured and continues to torture his daughter's lover ... his own son.

Jace: I told you, remember? You're dead, but you didn't believe me

Jace: I told you, remember? You're dead, but you didn't believe me. You thought you had leverage on me and that was your big mistake. Nobody messes with Jace Harronate and gets away with it. Especially not when someone hurts my family, you bastard!

Alfred: I'm sorry! I'm so sorry! Please don't kill me!

Jace: All I can do for you, you piece of shit, is let you decide how you die. Nothing else.

Alfred: No! No! Please don't! I'm begging you!

Jace: Take your pick, son of a bitch. Me or my son? Sword or fire?

Jason stares speechless at the scene. Cecilia kneels beside him and hugs his shoulders.

Cecilia: Are you going to intervene?

Cecilia: Are you going to intervene?
