Lockwood Mansion
Elena: You found a way to save the life of the doppelgänger?
Elijah: Yes, Elena. I did. But unfortunately, Katerina took matters into her own hands first. I believe you already know how that played out.
"You didn't tell her she was gonna be a sacrifice, why would she trust you? Why would she stay?" Defended Layla. Elijah looked away.
Elena: You cared about her, didn't you?
Elijah: It's a common mistake, I'm told. And it's one I won't make again. [He gives her her jacket and leaves.]
Klaus, Kol and Bella looked at him amused. Elijah ignored them.
Salvatore Boarding House
[Damon is with Andie in the library. She's putting a glass of bourbon in his hand.]
Andie: You don't have to be so mad at your brother. You know, he's worried about Elena, and...
Damon: Just go, please.
Andie: I know you're worried about her, too.
Damon: Andie. Go.
Andie: Okay. [She leaves.]
Girls looked at him disgusted.
[Stefan enters the room.]
Stefan: Tired of your little play thing already?
Damon: Don't start with me, Stefan. She's just my distraction.
Stefan: She's a person. You're victimizing her.
Damon: You should be thankful she's here. She keeps me from going for what I really want.
Stefan: You're right. Thank you for being in love with my girlfriend.
People snorted amused.
[Damon puts his glass on the table beside him and gets up.]
Damon: And there it is.
Stefan: There it is. You know, you can be in love with Elena all you want...If it means that you'll protect her. But I have the one thing that you never will.
Damon: Oh, yeah? What's that?
Stefan: Her respect. [Damon punches Stefan so hard that he flies into a bookshelf and breaks it. He gets up and rushes over to Damon. They grab each other by the shoulders, trying to harm one another. Elena and Elijah enter the room.]
Elena: Stop! [They break apart. Elijah is looking at them.]
"They're more like dogs than Nik and Nik is literally a dog." Said Kol.
"I amn't a dog! I'm a wolf!" Said Klaus annoyed.
"Same thing." Said Kol and Bella and high-fived. Klaus groaned frustrated.
Salvatore Boarding House
[Stefan and Damon have stopped. They're looking at Elena and Elijah.]
Damon: Now you've invited him in?
Elena: Elijah and I have renewed the terms of our deal.
Damon: Really?
Elijah: The two of you will come to no harm at my hands. I only ask for one thing in return.
Damon: What?
Elijah: An apology.
"A what?" Said Kol.
Damon: A what?
"Eww! I said same thing as him." Said Kol.
[Stefan walks closer to them.]
Stefan: I'm sorry for the part that I played in your death. I was protecting Elena. I will always protect Elena.
Layla and Bella rolled their eyes.
Elijah: I understand. [All eyes look at Damon.]
Elena: The sacrifice is going to happen, Damon. Bonnie will be able to kill Klaus without hurting herself and Elijah knows how to save my life. I told you I'd find another way. And I did.
Damon: Is that true?
Elijah: It is. [Damon looks at Elena.]
Damon: And you're trusting him?
Elena: I am.
Damon: You can all go to hell. [He leaves. Stefan looks at Elijah.]
Stefan: He's angry with me right now. But he'll come around.
Elijah: Perhaps.
Alaric's Residence
[Bellatrix is on her knees casting a spell. There are lit candles all around her. Klaus/Alaric is standing next to the box, his head bowed and eyes closed. Katherine is looking at them. She stop and looks at Alaric. He opens his eyes and looks at Katherine.]
Bellatrix: Phasmatos Tribum, Nas Ex Veras, Uenes Phasmatos Et Sonos. Ex Tutam Exum Lamia Matus.
Alaric: Elena? [He collapses. Bellatrix stands up and opens the box. Klaus walks out of it and looks down at Alaric.]
Klaus: Now that's more like it. [He smiles.]
"Finally!" Said Klaus.
Salvatore Boarding House
[Damon is in his bed and hears Elijah's conversation with Elena and Stefan. He gets up, goes downstairs and joins them.]
Elijah: Tonight is the full moon. We should assume that Klaus is prepared to break the curse.
Stefan: Elena said that the Sun and the Moon curse is fake? That it's actually just a curse placed on Klaus.
Elijah: Klaus is a vampire born of a werewolf bloodline. The curse has kept his werewolf aspect from manifesting. But if he breaks it...He'll be a true hybrid. [Damon joins them.]
Damon: Then why are we letting him break the curse? We can kill him today. With Bonnie.
Stefan: Damon...
Elena: No. Bonnie can't use that much power without dying.
"Didn't she just offer her up?" Said Davina. Bella shrugged.
Damon: I'll write her a great eulogy.
Elena: It's not an option, Damon.
Stefan: All right, how do we break this curse?
Elijah: Well, the ritual itself is relatively straightforward. The ingredients, so to speak, you already know.
Stefan: The moonstone.
Elijah: A witch will channel the power of the full moon to release the spell that's bound within the stone. After that, Klaus, being both werewolf and vampire, will sacrifice one of each.
Elena: And where do I fit into it?
Elijah: The final part of the ritual. [Elijah takes a wooden box from the shelf.]
Elijah: Klaus must drink the blood of the doppelgänger... to the point of your death. [Damon looks at Elena. Stefan takes Elena's hand. She looks at him. He opens the box and takes a jar from it.]
Elena: And that's where you come in.
Elijah: This is an elixir that I acquired some 500 years ago for Katerina. It possesses mystical properties of resuscitation.
Elena: So I'll be dead?
Elijah: And then you won't.
Damon: That's your plan? A magical witch potion with no expiration date? [He looks at Elena.]
Damon: You want to come back to life, what about John's ring?
Elijah: Those rings only work on humans. The doppelgänger's a supernatural occurrence. Odds are, the ring won't work.
Damon: I'll take those odds over your elixir. What if it doesn't work, Elena?
"Don't worry. I'll write her a great eulogy." Said Layla. Others laughed.
Elena: Then I guess I'll just be dead. [Damon looks at Stefan. He shrugs. Damon looks at Elijah and leaves.]
Elena: Do we know if Klaus has everything he needs to do this? Does he have a werewolf?
Elijah: Klaus has been waiting to break this curse for over a thousand years. If he doesn't already have a werewolf, my guess is by tonight, he will.
Lockwood Mansion
[Carol is walking up the stairs. She's leaving a voicemail to Tyler.]
Carol: Tyler, honey. It's your mother. I don't know where you are, but I need you. I've had an accident and I'm in the hospital. [She's upstairs. Bellatrix is here and she looks at her. Bellatrix looking at her and mouthing the words that Carol is saying.]
Carol: Please, Tyler, come home. [She hangs up and looks at Belltrix.]
Carol: Why did I say that?
Bellatrix: Because you had a terrible fall. [She pushes her with her powers. Carol falls downstairs. Bellatrix looks at her emotionlessly. Carol's unconscious.]
Salvatore Boarding House
[Damon is outside, drinking scotch. Stefan rejoins him.]
Stefan: Breakfast of champions, huh?
Damon: I'm surrounded by idiots. I need all the help I can get.
"Well, you're the biggest idiot there so it mustn't be that hard for you." Said Marcel.
Stefan: You know, you're not helping.
Damon: Elijah is an original vampire, Stefan. One we tried to kill. You're going to believe this guy?
Stefan: What do you want me to do, Damon? Elena made her decision. She's choosing to trust Elijah. I'm going to put my faith in her.
Damon: Why? She's going to end up dead.
Stefan: Because she put her faith in me. She chose to trust me in spite of what I am. I'm going to bet on somebody's instincts, it's going to be hers.
"She is teenager and human who just found out about supernatural. Why are you trusting her insticts?" Said Bella.
"You're talking to screen." Said Davina. Bella glared at her.
Damon: Well, then, that makes you the biggest idiot of them all.
Stefan: She chose to trust you, too.
Damon: Then maybe you shouldn't be so sure about her instincts. [He looks at him, takes a drink from his glass, throws the rest away, and leaves.]
