Surprising Lover (TVDxOC) (Complete)

Gods and Monsters

Grace is on the road with Stefan.
"(over phone with Damon and Enzo) You haven't heard from him?"
"Nope. Which means, to absolutely no one's surprise, Donovan failed and now Bonnie's huntressing in the wild."
"(Focused on driving away from Bonnie) All right, well, where is she now?"
"Coming after one of us. Where else? Weren't you meant to be on a plane?"
"Flights got cancelled because of the storm. Where are you?"
"I'm in Solution Land, baby. There's a preserved body at the Armory called 'the final Everlasting.' All we have to do is destroy that, Bonster is a monster no more."
Grace is visibly upset about Damon and Enzo's plan to kill the Everlasting.
"(In the Car with Stefan) But if you kill the Everlasting, Bonnie dies. And so do we, for that matter."
"I've been told differently."
"By who? Someone that wants you dead?"
"A descendent of the people who created Rayna Cruz."
"Yeah, the people who hate us."
"Well, whether we believe them or not, it's Bonnie's only chance."
"Damon: Look...best case scenario, we destroy it, everything goes back to normal. Worst case scenario... we all die and Stefan lives to tell the tale of our demise to the lovely Elena."
"Are you forgetting about the other problem that's in there?"
"Oh, you mean the ambiguously terrifying monster from the vault? I'm on it. Perhaps once it's less ambiguous, it will be less terrifying."
"Guys, it doesn't matter. Bonnie sealed the whole Armory. You can't get in."
"Don't tell me what I can't do."
"(Damon disappointed) I can't get in. Plan B. Stefan, call your ex. Obviously, not the one next to you. Valerie. She can siphon the seal."
"That's great, but I have absolutely no idea where to find her."
"There is a third option. And let me just tell you, it is just adorable. The cutest little Plan Cs you've ever seen."
Grace is furious that Damon would even suggest involving Caroline or her kids.
"(exasperated) No! Absolutely not."
"All they have to do is walk up to the door and put their tiny little siphon hands on it..."
"(In a stern voice) No, Care's and my kids are staying out of this, Damon."
"It's for Bonnie!"
"No, it's for us. So that we don't have to run anymore. And that is not a good enough excuse to involve our children in this mess."
"You know these scars that we have link her to us, huh?"
"She can probably hear what we're saying right now."
"We'll find Valerie."
"Whatever, bro."

Paul is cooking cookies. He places a couple on a plate for the nieces. The Kids are video calling with Grace while they draw and color.
"Then Lilith had three cookies, and I only had two."
Lilith's eyes go wide as she corrects her twin, Ruby.
"Two and a half."
"(Still on the run with Stefan driving down the highway.) Wow. This sure is a lot of cookie talk for 8:00 in the morning."
Paul is placing cookies on the plate in front of the cousins.
"Yeah, well, the girls wanted cookies and uncle Paul needed something to take his mind off things."
"So you stress baked?"
"There's got to be a more masculine way you could say that."
Grace laughs.
"I miss you, Gracie."
"I miss you, too, baby."
"All right, wave good-bye, girls."
"(Waving goodbye) Bye."
Grace waves goodbye.
"Be safe. (The phone beeps off)"
Grace is upset that she is having to run and cannot be with her family.

 "They're three years old. They shouldn't be involved in this world. Not yet."
Stefan looks concerned for Grace.
"Lilith siphoned me the other day. The girls had their friend's birthday party, and Lilith took Ruby's goodie bag. I took it back from her and then she grabbed my arm. She didn't mean to. I just want them to have as normal a childhood as possible."
Stefan comforts Grace, reassuring her it is her choice.
"It's your decision. Period."
"(Feeling somewhat relieved) Thank you. This doesn't let you off the hook, you know. For the leaving or the kidnapping."
"No?"
"No."
"Hmm. Not even a...a little bit?"
"Nope. Not even a little bit."
"I feel...a thaw."
"There is definitely not a thaw."
"Okay."
Grace's phone rings interrupting their semi-playful conversation, Bonnie is calling.
"Bonnie?"
"(Tensed) I need you to drive faster."
"Why? What happened?"
"I'm gaining on you. Tell Stefan to drive faster and don't stop. (Stefan raves the engine.)"
"How'd you catch up to us?"
"We have a police siren, okay? It's been helpful."
"Okay. We won't stop, I promise."
A dispatcher says Highway 60 is blocked up. They are all visible worried that they are on Highway 60.
"Tell me we're not on 60."
"(sighing) We're on 60."
Stefan arrives at the car pileup on 60 and slams to a halt, tires screeching, coming up with a Plan B.
"Oh, no."
"I got this. (Stefan puts the car in reverse, tires squealing, engine revving. He drives back toward the opposite direction, on coming car horns honking at them.)"
"Stefan?"
Bonnie is heading in their direction, straight for them.
"Why do I feel you getting closer?"
"All you have to do is let us drive by you, Bonnie."
"I can't do that."
"Yes, you can."
"No, she can't!"
"Come on... Bonnie."
Stefan is weaving in and out of traffic, heading the wrong way down the road. Bonnie in Matt's cruiser can be seen in the distance."
"I'm sorry."
Bonnie is heading straight towards Stefan car. The car crashes into a tree. Grace and Stefan are spared, saved by Matt.
