Elena walked down the stairs into the basement with a bag. Malik joined him since Bonnie made sure that he was not left alone, meaning she asked Elena to keep a close eye on Malik.
So there he was, going after Elena as they approached the Salvatore holding cell where Alaric resided until they managed to figure out how to get the last stake. It turned out that after breaking the spell Stefan tried to bargain with Klaus, giving him most of the stakes for Damon's freedom, but the hybrid realised that he was lying. So he compelled Damon to leave while still hung up, forcing them both to tell the truth...
It turned out everyone gave up their stakes, apart from Ric, because his alter ego hid the stake elsewhere.
So now they were hoping to get the information, but for that they needed his evil self to come out.
" Alaric?" asked Elena as they got to the cell door.
" Yep. Still me."
Elena unlocked the door and entered the cell, while Malik just let out an exasperated sigh but remained silent as Alaric sat up on a cot in the room.
"You know, you shouldn't be in here. It defeats the point of the whole being locked in a cellar thing."
Malik dropped the bag on the ground and spoke up.
"Well, you still need the standard kit. Toothbrush, clothes, some books to help you sleep?"
Alaric picked up one of the books and handed it to them with a small smile.
"Dr Jekyll and Mr. Hyde?"
"What? No, I... Damon" sighed Elena and dropped the book on the floor. "Thinks he's hilarious."
"At least one of us still has a sense of humour" commented Ric and leaned back against the wall.
"Are you sure that you want to be kept in here?"
"I think this is this the right place for me to be. At least until you guys can convince my highly uncooperative alter ego to fess up to where I or he hid the white oak stake."
"We looked everywhere. You... the other you, hid it well" commented Malik with a small smile.
"What's Klaus gonna do if you can't find it?"
"It's the only thing that will kill him, so you know Klaus stuff" answered Elena and she pulled up a chair close to Alaric and sat down. "Listen, Stefan is gonna watch over you for a little while. Now that Klaus knows where Jeremy is, it's not safe so Damon, Malik and I are gonna go to Denver to pick him up."
"Why do you say that like you're waiting for me to disapprove?"
" I don't know. Me and Damon. Traveling across the country... even with Malik there I—"
"I guess I'm more curious to hear what Stefan has to say about it" interrupted Alaric looking at Elena with an amused smile.
"Actually, it was his idea. He thinks that I have some unresolved feelings for Damon" responded Elena slightly rolling her eyes while Malik just watched with amusement.
