Surprising Lover (TVDxOC) (Complete)

The Walking Dead

Stefan enters the hospital to meet Damon and Grace. Police tape can be seen across a doorway and there are police in the reception area.
"You just missed the doughnuts."
"Yeah, I was with Elena, burning off a few thousand hate-filled calories. What happened to you helping me?"
"Help, yes. Prolong the inevitable? Waste of my time."
2Mm, you're avoiding. How unexpected."
"I'm not avoiding. Elena's only goal is to end Katherine's life, and that's not gonna just magically disappear with pilates and a juice cleanse."
Sheriff Forbes approaches them.
"Hey guys, thanks for coming."
"Hey."
"Why were we invited?"
"Well, the hospital has kept the blood banks empty ever since they were raided last month. We thought at the very least it would help keep the vampire population away."
"And it didn't?"
"See for yourself."
The Sheriff leads them into a patient's room where a body lay on a bed, its wrists bloodied.
"Whoa."
"There are four other victims in this wing, each one almost completely drained of blood."
"You think it's Silas?"
"Or a doctor with some very questionable bedside manners."
"But 5 victims? That's a lot of blood, and it's not like he can take it with him."
"Unless he's fueling up for something big."
"Big? Any details would be helpful, considering I'm dealing with 5 grieving families out there and a psychic killer on the loose."
"Silas wants Bonnie to do a spell to drop the veil from the Other Side."
"I have no idea what that means."
"It's an invisible wall that separates our plane from the plane of all dead supernatural creatures."
"Now, Silas wants that to go away so he can take the cure, die, and not have to spend an eternity in a supernatural purgatory."
"And when do you suppose Silas plans on doing this?"
"Next full moon."
"Tomorrow night."

Damon, Grace and Stefan are still with the Sheriff at the hospital, where the lights have also gone out. They pore over a map by the light of Liz's flashlight. She marks the map with a marker as she talks.
"The power outages originated at 3 different places in town: the Young farm, the Lockwood estate, and a blown transformer off Road."
Stefan picks up the marker and connects the dots.
"Well, these are the locations of the Silas massacres. It's the Expression triangle. Bonnie must be doing the spell."
"So much for needing a full moon."
"And there's something else: one of the power company guys has a daughter who goes to school with Bonnie. He saw her leaving the Young farm an hour ago...with Elena."
"But...Caroline's with Elena."
"Looks like Bonnie Bennett has a new doppelgänger friend."
"So how do we find them?"
"Well, they must be some where in the triangle."
"My guess is that they would be right in the middle."
She draws a point in the middle of the triangle, then circles it.
"And where exactly might that be?"
Stefan, Grace and Damon look at each other, then back at the map.

Stefan, Grace and Damon drive up and park outside the school. The winds are still blowing fiercely. Elena comes out to meet them. They shout to be heard over the wind.
"Where's Caroline?"
"Inside looking for Bonnie. I think we should split up. Damon and I can look outside while you two and Caroline look inside."
"All right, let me know if you find anything."
Stefan and Grace head for the school while Elena and Damon start walking.
Stefan and Grace enter the cafeteria carrying a flashlight. They find Caroline there.
"Hey, there you are. Any luck?"
"I searched the whole school. She should be here."
The noise of something falling over breaks the silence and they all turn toward it.
"What was that?"
They walk over to the kitchens cautiously. Caroline approaches the freezer and opens it to reveal a bag of ice, which starts dripping onto the floor.
"Hm. Ice is melting."
Caroline shuts the freezer door.
"Ugh. It just doesn't make any sense. This is the center of the triangle. If she's gonna do the spell, she has to do it here. This is where they should be."
"Actually, I think we're in the right place...[He shines his flashlight onto the floor, where the water from the melting ice is flowing down a drain.]...just the wrong elevation."

Damon talks to Stefan on the phone.
"If I remember correctly, I think there's an entrance in the basement."
"Well, where's the basement?"
"[speaking loud enough for Stefan to hear through the phone] Off the boiler room."
"You hear that?"
"All right."
 We'll meet you there."
Damon hangs up. 

Bonnie writhes on the ground, gasping and yelling, when Stefan, Grace and Caroline rush into the chamber.
"Bonnie. Bonnie, what happened?"
"Katherine. Find Katherine. We're linked."
"Then unlink her. You go, I'll stay with Bonnie."
Stefan leaves the chamber. Grace has a moment of realisation but follows.
"Goodbye, Katherine."
She makes a swing at Katherine but is thwarted by Stefan, who launches himself on her and pins her to the ground.
"Stefan!"
"[smiling] Thanks for the save, handsome."
Stefan struggles to restrain Elena. Grace uses her magic to calm Elena down.
"Get the hell out of here before I kill you myself."
"Really? I'm your biggest problem right now?"
They watch Katherine walk out of the room. Grace runs to find Damon.

Damon walks into the boiler room at the high school with Alaric and Grace as he talks with Matt on the phone.
"Perfect."
"Yeah, it gets worse. The veil's down. Kol came by looking for Elena, and he seemed a little pissed."
"You got any good news for me, Donovan?"
"We'll handle this, just...watch your back."
Damon hangs up and looks at Alaric.
"Call Stefan and tell him about Caroline. Tell him to keep an eye on Elena. God knows he'll do a better job than me."
"Stefan? Isn't she your girlfriend?"
"Who knows. I know she was sired to me. I know her emotions were off. I know she's so full of rage, she wants to rip Katherine's head off."
"But you have no idea how she feels about you, and now you're freaking out."
"Call Stefan."
He walks away.
"If your back Ric then is Lexi?"
"I'm not sure but we both have been watching you."

Sometime later, Bonnie is talking to Grace, Damon and Stefan.
"You need to get rid of Silas' body."
"Well, there's a slight problem, Medusa. Even though you turned him into stone, if he gets one more drop of blood he's back to his old mind tricks."
"All right, so let's do what we should've done to Klaus - let's drop his body in the middle of the ocean."
Elena approaches them.
"Bonnie? [Bonnie looks round at her.] I don't know what to say."
"You don't have to say anything."
"But I was so horrible to you."
"You weren't you. I know what that's like. I wasn't me for a long time. We can talk about that later. [She smiles.] You've got some catching up to do."
She nods at Jeremy, who comes up behind Elena.
"Thank you, Bonnie."
"I'll give you guys as much time as I can. [Jeremy hugs her and they part.] But I have to go put the veil back up."
Bonnie leaves.
"I should, ah, make sure Kol's body is somewhere safe until the veil goes back up."
"Stefan, wait--"
Stefan nods at her knowingly.
"Welcome back."
They smile at each other before Stefan and Grace leave.

Stefan and Grace walk into the Grill and sit at a table. Caroline enters the room and sits down across from them, setting down a bottle.
"Good, you're here. We need to celebrate."
"Yeah, I'm not really in the mood to, ah, celebrate."
"What's wrong with you? Silas is dead, or whatever, and you're just sitting here like a bump on a log."
"There was someone that I thought we would see today, and, ah...we didn't. That's all."
"You better mean me."
Stefan and Caroline look at each other.
"You've got to be kidding me."
"Sister!"
Grace runs and hugs Lexi. Stefan turns in his seat to see Lexi standing behind him. He smiles and stands to embrace her.
"[to Caroline] Thank you for keeping an eye on these two."
Caroline smiles.

Stefan, Grace and Lexi are walking down a street.
"She punched you in the face?"
"Yep."
Lexi laughs.
"Take a hint!"
"So wait, you've been back, what, 5 minutes and you're already laughing at me?"
"No, I've been laughing at you for a while, you just haven't been able to see me."
"Do you have any idea how much I've missed you?"
Lexi links her arm with them both.
"Trust me, I do. Although I see I've been replaced by another blonde?"
She looks at Stefan suggestively.
"What are you giving me that look for?"
"She's cute."
"Do not start."
Lexi rolls her eyes.
"Your the best dear sister."
