*Alaric's Apartment,It's morning. Elena and Aria walk up the stairs carrying breakfast for Alaric. She knocks on his door and Damon answers it.*
Damon: Morning sunshine.
Aria:(she glares at him) Damon.
Elena: Hey, how's Alaric?(Elena moves to enter the apartment, but Damon closes the door slightly to block her way.)
Damon: Indecent, but fine.
Elena: So then, does that mean there were no issues last night?
Damon: Nope. Slept like a baby, woke up Alaric. No head minds about dead Council members.
Aria: That's good.
Elena: Then why do I feel like you're hiding something from me?
Damon: Well, maybe because you're being all paranoid and control freaky. What'd you two bring me?(Damon takes the bag from Elena and sniffs it while Aria looks at him suspiciously.) Ooo, chocolate muffins. You know what they say; a way to a psycho killer's heart is through his stomach.(Elena takes the bag back from him.)
Elena: They're not for you.
Damon: Fine. Keep convincing yourself you're still mad at me. But sadly, Ric's gonna have to miss Elena and Aria time today. You know lockdown and all.
Elena: Just take it and give it to him and tell him that I,Jenna and Aria miss him, okay?(Elena hands Damon the bag of muffins.)
Damon: With pleasure.
Elena: Please.
Aria: don't you dare eat them.(Damon starts to shut the door on them)
Damon: Have a great day, thanks for coming by.
Elena: Dam...(Damon closes the door and walks over to Ric and Stefan who are standing by a miter saw with the Wickery Bridge sign. He listens to Elena and Aria leaving.)
Damon: Walking down the stairs, opening the front door, and they are gone.so is Jenna still with Meredith?
Alaric: yeah...she said she is keeping an eye on Meredith but she said she is available if we need her.
Damon: Good, because we will need her help.(Alaric turns the saw on and lowers the saw and begins to cut the sign.Later, Damon, Alaric, and Stefan are creating stakes from the Wickery Bridge sign. Stefan looks at one of the stakes.)
Stefan: This needs to have a sharper point.(He hands the stake to Damon.)
Damon: I got it.
Stefan: We finally have our own stakes to kill an Original. I'm not gonna miss because you can't whittle.
Damon: I said I got it. Stop micromanaging.(Damon sharpens the point of the stake. Alaric puts on his jacket.)
Alaric: Looks like you guys have got this under control. I'm gonna call the Sheriff.(Damon and Stefan look at him.) I want to turn myself in.
Damon: No you don't.
Alaric: I have a homicidal alter ego. Unlike some people in this room, I would like to take responsibility for the people I've killed.
Damon: If you wanted to turn yourself in, you wouldn't be saying it out loud. Just saying.
Alaric: Hey, listen, out of all the people you cannot psychoanalyze me. I killed Caroline's father; I nearly killed Meredith and Jenna. Everything's changed.
Stefan: Look, you're not turning yourself in. Bonnie's herbs are working and we have Originals to kill.
Damon: His morals get very questionable when he has revenge on the brain.
Stefan: Klaus needs to die. We finally have the chance to kill him, so you are not turning yourself in.(Damon gets up and turns to Alaric and hands him his ring.)
Damon: Here's your ring, Ric. Put it on.
Alaric: That ring is the reason I've killed people.
Damon: It's also the reason you're alive. You're going vampire hunting, Ric. Wear it.(Alaric takes the ring and puts it on.)

*Woods,Caroline and Elena are walking through the woods.*
Caroline: Alaric Saltzman killed my father?
Elena: I can't expect you to be okay with this. But at least these herbs that Bonnie's giving him, they're healing him and they're keeping the dark side buried.
Caroline: Yeah, and that's supposed to make everything okay?(Elena grabs Caroline's arm and Caroline faces her. Caroline is teary eyed.)
Elena: No, Caroline, it's not okay. It's horrible and I feel horrible about it, but he's a victim of something supernatural, he didn't ask for this, it just happened to him. Just like Bonnie's mom, I mean, she didn't ask to become a vampire. And neither did Stefan or Tyler.
Caroline: Or me.
Elena: Or you. None of you asked for this, but who would I be if I just turned my back on any of you?(Caroline moves to Elena's side and wraps her arm around her shoulders. They start to walk off.)
Caroline: Oh, Elena Gilbert, savior of the cursed and the damned.(Matt appears.)
Matt: Hey. What's with the cryptic secret meeting text?
Elena: I don't know. Stefan just said to meet here.(Stefan and Damon show up.)
Stefan: Where's Bonnie?(Caroline and Elena turn around.)
Stefan: I texted her too.
Caroline: Um, Bonnie's mom bailed on her. Again. So, I think we should leave her out of this one,what about Aria?
Damon: We can't tell her about this,she will just try to stop us.she's too brainwashed by Rebekah to help us.
Matt: What are we doing here?
Damon: We found some more white oak. Long story, wait for the movie.
Elena: Hang on. White oak? You have a weapon that can kill Klaus?
Stefan: Nope. We all have a weapon.(Stefan throws down a duffel bag with white oak stakes in it.)which is why Aria can't find out.
