"This is the Lockwood well," Cordelia spoke as she and Stefan made their way over, "This is where Mason put it?" Stefan nodded before saying, "This is where Bonnie said it was." Cordelia walked up to the edge of the well, she tilted her head and looked at Stefan. "What's the plan?" Cordelia asked him. "I go in and you stay out of danger," Stefan told her, Cordelia rolled her eyes but didn't argue his point. Stefan pulled the lock off of the iron grate before removing it, he turned on the flashlight and pointed it down into the well. Stefan moved to climb up onto the edge of the well when Cordelia stopped him. "I don't know about this, Stefan. Maybe I should go," Cordelia told Stefan.

"No way, Cori. I know you can handle yourself but this... it's too risky and I'm not facing your mother," Stefan told her, the blonde smiled slightly at that. Since she told her mother everything, Liz had pulled Stefan aside and giving him a warning that she knew how to dispose of Vampires if he hurt Cordelia again; And he didn't doubt that. "Be careful, please," Cordelia asked him, he smiled softly at her before leaning over and kissing her forehead. "I'll only be down there for a minute," Stefan assured her before he climbed onto the edge and jumped down into the well, Cordelia watched anxiously as the splash echoed through the well.

Stefan looks down at his arm and sees vapor rising around where the water touched him, his hands and arms burning. He pressed himself against the wall of the well, shouting out in pain. "Cordelia!!" Stefan screamed out, the tingle through Cordelia's body was not the same nice feeling she got at his touch. "Stefan!" Cordelia called out to him. "Vervain!" Stefan called back at Cordelia whose eyes went white, she focused on the large chains by the well and pushed her energy into them. The chain began to lift from the ground and over the edge of the well just as Caroline showed up. "What's going on!?" Caroline asked panicked noticing the fearful and pained expression on her sisters face.

"Stefan's in the well and its filled with vervain," Cordelia told her twin before climbing over the edge using the chain to climb down to Stefan. Not too long after, Bonnie and Elena came running as they caught up to the older Forbes that had run off hearing her sister screamed out. "What's going on? You took off in a blur!" Bonnie exclaimed while Elena stood silent. "Stefan's in the well, Cori's gone down to help him," Caroline answered as she watched her sister skilfully climbed down the chain into the well; all those lessons of rock climbing were paying off. "Is he okay?" Elena asked as she stepped forward, Bonnie and Caroline glanced at Elena who was frowning.

Once Cordelia reached the bottom of the well, she dropped in and ignored how cold the water felt and instead focused on wrapping and linking the chain to help Stefan out of the well. "It's gonna be okay, Stefan. I promise," Cordelia whispered as she brushed her fingers across his face, he leaned into her touch. "Pull him up!" Cordelia ordered her sister, Caroline moved quickly to pull Stefan up from the water. Cordelia looked around with the flashlight, she wouldn't leave without the moonstone. "Cori? Ready for you!" Caroline called out once Bonnie and Elena got Stefan out of the well and leaning against the side of it; Elena brushing the side of his face despite leaning away from her touch.
