Alaric's Residence
[Katherine is looking for a blood bag in the fridge. She hears the key in the lock. She gets up and goes to the door. It's Alaric. He stands outside his apartment without entering.]
Katherine: Look who's dumb enough to come back.
Alaric: Well, somebody had to invite him in. Damon. Would you like to, uh, come in? [Damon comes in and she rushes over to him.]
Katherine: Are you trying to get me killed? [He pushes her against the wall.]
Damon: I gave you vervain, now I'm here to collect. I got it from here, Rick.
Alaric: You sure?
Damon: Yeah, only one of us needs to get blamed for this. Get back in the house. Keep Elena from handing herself over.
Alaric: Okay. [He leaves.]
Katherine: Get blamed for what?
Damon: I need to know where Klaus is keeping his werewolf.
Katherine: Why? What are you going to do?
Damon: Dead werewolf equals no ritual.
Katherine: No. You can't interfere, Damon. Klaus will kill you and everyone you've ever met.
"See? She gets it." Said Bella.
Damon: I just need to delay this thing.
Katherine: No. No way.
Damon: You should like this. It's going to buy another month of your pathetic life.
Katherine: Right. Except that I'm not the vampire he's planning on sacrificing.
Damon: What?
Katherine: Yeah. He's got Caroline Forbes and Tyler Lockwood. Therefore, I'm in the clear.
Damon: And where'd he get that idea from? [He goes toward her. She holds her hands up in innocence.]
Katherine: Hey! Hey, hey, hey, I'm just trying to stay alive long enough to get myself out of here.
"That's why Kathrine is my favourite doppelganger. Instead of whining and waiting for the knight in shining armor, She solves problems herself." Said Bella.
"Not you too." Groaned Klaus. Bella rolled her eyes at him.
Damon: What if I told you Elena had vampire blood in her system?
Katherine: What?!
Damon: Imagine how much fun that will be competing with Elena for Stefan's love for, I don't know, forever.
Katherine: The tomb. He's got them in the tomb.
"Wow! It was easier than i thought." Said Hayley.
"Love is person's both greatest strength and greatest weakness." Said Bella.
"It was wise." Said surprised Kol.
"Why the surprise?" Said Bella.
Damon: Thank you. [He leaves.]
Woods
[Elena and Stefan are climbing to the top.]
Elena: I guess Bonnie will have to make me a daylight ring.
Stefan: Yeah, piece of cake.
Elena: And I'll never be able to watch "Bambi" again.
Some laughes.
Stefan: I definitely wouldn't recommend doing that.
Elena: What's the best part about being a vampire?
Stefan: Ahh. You feel like you could do anything. Be anyone. Beautiful things are more beautiful. Everything's heightened, you just live more intensely, love more powerfully.
Elena: And the worst?
Stefan: Ah, you know the worst.
Elena: Aside from the blood? [He stops and looks at her.]
Stefan: Anger becomes rage. When you're sad, you're in despair. Grief. Loss. It can cripple you. That's why so many of us turn our emotions off. It just becomes...Too overwhelming. You know, for a while, for me, the good just wasn't worth the bad.
"Good explenation" Said Elijah.
Elena: How long before you learned to handle both?
Stefan: Well, I'm still trying. Every day. What else?
"Yeah, but you're ripper." Said Layla.
Elena: Let's just keep going. We're not even halfway to the top. [She keeps walking.]
Alaric's Residence
[Katherine is making coffee. Klaus arrives.]
Katherine: Everything okay?
Klaus: What have you been doing?
"He knows." Said Bella.
"How can you tell?" Said Marcel.
"He is my brother." Said Bella like it
answered question, maybe it did.
Katherine: Making coffee. Do you want some? [He rushes over to her, grabs her by the throat and compels her.]
Klaus: Tell me what you've been doing.
Katherine: Making coffee. [He releases her and she holds her neck, gasping and turns around.]
Klaus: Wait. Take off your bracelet. [She takes it off and gives it to him.]
Klaus: Now, I want you...to walk over to the window and stand in the sunlight.
Katherine: But I'll burn.
Klaus: You don't have a choice. [She stands in the sunlight and the side of her face exposed to the sunlight starts to burn. She keeps screaming. Klaus looks at her with a smile.He lets her burn for a moment]
Klaus: That's enough. [She rushes over to the corner of the room, in the shadows.]
Klaus: Guess I was wrong. All right, then. I need you to do something for me.
Fell's Church Tomb
[Damon is in the woods just outside the stairs leading into the tomb. Bellatrix is there.]
Bellatrix: Which one are you trying to save? The blond, or the wolf? Did you really think they would be unprotected?
Damon: Wishful thinking. [He rushes over to Bellatrix and pins her on the ground.]
Mikaelsons, Davina, Hayley and Layla glared at Damon.
[He starts strangling her but Bellatrix uses her powers and throws Damon back against some rocks. He falls on the ground. Bellatrix gets up and uses her powers and provokes a headache. Damon screams and tries to fight the pain. Suddenly there's a gunshot. Bellatrix falls to the ground.]
Everyone glare at screen.
[Damon raises his head and sees Matt with a rifle. Damon gets up, snaps Bellatrix's neck and looks at Matt suspiciously.]
Damon: What are you doing here?
Matt: Where's Caroline?
Damon: Listen, man. Not a good time to play the hero. [Matt quickly cocks the rifle and points it at Damon.]
Matt: Where is she? And what did he do to her? [Damon puts his hands up and starts stepping forward slowly.]
Damon: I'm just here to rescue her. [Damon rushes over to him and hits him with the butt of the rifle. Matt falls to the ground, unconscious. Damon picks up the rifle and clears the bullets out of it.]
Damon: You're lucky I already screwed up once today or you'd be dead. [Damon crouches and picks up a bullet. He realizes it's wooden. Down in the tomb, Tyler and Caroline are looking at each other. They're still chained up.]
Tyler: The whole sun and moon curse is fake?
Caroline: That's what Elena learned. Klaus still needs to do the sacrifice, but it's just not for that.
Tyler: And you think that's why they grabbed us? For the sacrifice.
Caroline: Yes.
Tyler: He's going to kill us?
Caroline: I think so. Yes.
Tyler: This whole time I've been gone, Jules has been helping me come to terms with what I am. How to deal with it. I guess none of it matters anymore.
Caroline: Why didn't you say good-bye? You just left.
Tyler: You want to talk about this now?
Caroline: Well, if we're going to die, I might as well know the truth. Why did you leave me?
Tyler: I knew you hated me. I thought you deserved better than having someone like me in your life.
Caroline: I was hurt. You know, you turned your back on me when I needed you.But... I could never hate you, Tyler. 
"Nik, it's because of you Tyler and Caroline made up. You destroyed your own chances." Bellatrix laughed at Klaus. Kol, Hayley and Layla joined. Elijah looked amused. Klaus glared at them.
[He smiles. They hear the door of the tomb open. Damon arrives.]
Caroline: Damon? [He goes toward her.]
Damon: Your boyfriend's outside with a rifle loaded with wooden bullets. You have some explaining to do.
Caroline: What, Matt?
Tyler: Matt knows about you?
Caroline: No, I...
Damon: Shh. Tomorrow's problem. [He releases her and she gets up.]
Damon: Let me just get you out of here.
Caroline: Wait, Damon No! I'm not leaving without him.
Damon: Ohhh. It's getting dark soon.
[He looks at Tyler.]
Damon: How fast can you get the hell away from here?
Tyler: I need to get to my family's cellar. I can lock myself up.
Caroline: I'll help.
"Doesn't she know he can kill her?" Said Davina.
[Damon goes over to Tyler and crouches in front of him.]
Damon: Don't make me regret this. [He breaks Tyler's chains. It's dark. A full moon is shining in the sky. Damon, Caroline and Tyler go outside. Matt is waking up. Caroline rushes over to him.]
Caroline: Hey, Matt! [She looks at Damon.]
Caroline: Hey. Did you hit him?!
Damon: Did you already forget about the part with the gun and the wooden bullets? [Tyler growls and holds his chest. He looks up at the moon.]
Caroline: Tyler? Tyler?
Tyler: It's starting.
Damon: Grab boy wonder and let's go.
Caroline: Come on. [They leave.]
Salvatore Boarding House
[Stefan parks his car, goes out and opens the door for Elena. She gets out of the car.]
Elena: Thanks for today. [Stefan feels something. He puts himself in front of Elena and they both turn their heads. Klaus is there.]
Klaus: You got me all nervous. I thought maybe you'd done something stupid. You ready, my dear?
Elena: I'm ready. [She starts walking toward him but Stefan stops her.]
Stefan: No.
Klaus: I wouldn't. No reason for you to die, too. [She turns around and looks at Stefan. He can't stop staring at Klaus.]
Elena: No. Stefan, hey, hey, it's fine, it's fine. I'll go. No one needs to get hurt. There's no reason for you to get hurt. [She kisses him.]
Elena: I love you.
Stefan: I love you. [They kiss again.]
Elena: Close your eyes. Close your eyes.[He closes his eyes. She lets go of his hand. When he opens his eyes, she's gone.]
