The Grill.
[Damon hears something, stands up and turns around. The sheriff is in front of him pointing a gun at him. He vamp-speeds away just as she shoots. Jeremy, who was directly behind Damon, takes the bullet square in the chest. He looks at the sheriff and falls to the floor. She holsters her gun and rushes over to him.]
Sheriff Forbes: Oh, God. Oh, God. [She speaks in her radio. Jeremy is on his back and coughs weakly.]
Sheriff Forbes: I've got a gunshot victim at The Grill. Get the paramedics here. [She looks at Jeremy.]
Sheriff Forbes: You're gonna be fine. It's gonna be okay. [Bonnie and Caroline enter and rush over.]
Bonnie: Jeremy!
Caroline: Mom. Mom, what did you do?
Sheriff Forbes: I was aiming for Damon.
Caroline: He still has his ring.
Bonnie: She's human. The ring won't work. Caroline...
Caroline: I got it. [She bites her wrist and puts it in Jeremy's mouth.] Come on, Jeremy. Just drink. Go on, Jeremy. Drink.
Sheriff Forbes: What are you doing?
Caroline: I'm helping him. Jeremy, drink. Please. Please. Please. [He doesn't make any motion to drink and remains motionless with his eyes closed. Alaric enters and rushes over.]
Alaric: Bonnie, what's going on? [He sees Jeremy.] Oh, my God.
Bonnie: I know what I need to do. [She looks at Alaric.] I need you to grab him. T-take him with us.
Sheriff Forbes: No, no, no, no. You can't move him. This is a crime scene.
Caroline: Mom, you let them go. [Alaric grabs Jeremy.]
Alaric: All right, come here, buddy. I got you. I got you.
Old Witch House
[Alaric lays Jeremy's body down on the floor. Bonnie is standing next to them..]
Alaric: Is this even possible?
Bonnie: There's a spell for it if they'll give me the power to use it. [Jeremy's head is on her legs. She casts a spell. The candles in the room start burning brightly. Voices of the Spirits whisper around them.]
"She's abusing her powers." said Kol.
Bonnie [Chanting]: ''Victus Phasmatis Ex Eleto. Revertas Phasmatis Ut Victus. Victus Phasmatis Ex Eleto. Revertas Phasmatis Ut Victus.
Bonnie: No.
Alaric: What? What is it?
Bonnie: They're angry at me for coming back here. They don't wanna help.
"Of course they don't. You always mess with nature. They don't want part in it." Said Layla.
Alaric: Well, they have to!
Bonnie: They said there'll be consequences.
Alaric: Well, he's just a kid. Tell 'em to shut up! [Bonnie continues to cast the spell. The building shakes. Her nose bleeds. The voices get louder. She starts crying.]
Bonnie [Chants]: Victus Phasmatis Ex Eleto. Revertas Phasmatis Ut Victus. Victus Phasmatis Ex Eleto. Revertas Phasmatis Ut Victus. Revertas Phasmatis Ut Victus. Victus Phasmatis Ex Eleto. Revertas...
Bonnie: Emily. Emily! I know you're there. Please help me. I love him. [The whispering stops. The candles go out.]
Bonnie: No! [She cries. Alarics looks concerned. After a few moments Jeremy opens his eyes.]
Jeremy: Bonnie?
Bonnie: Oh, my God, Jeremy. Oh, my God.
Jeremy: What happened?
Bonnie: Doesn't matter. You're okay. You're okay. [She smiles at him and raises her head.]
Bonnie: Thank you.
Alaric's Residence
[There are four emptied blood bags on the floor. Stefan is sitting on the floor finishing drinking one. He grunts, and looks up at Klaus who is standing nearby.]
Klaus: You're very cooperative. It's almost as if you're enjoying it. [He throws another blood bag on the floor next to him.]
Stefan: No more. Not until you give me the cure.
Klaus: Not until we make a deal. It's your choice, Stefan. You can either remain here living your life in Mystic Falls, or you can embrace what you truly are, leave town with me, and save your brother's life. [Klaus crouches down, picks up and offers it to Stefan. Stefan snatches it and drinks vigorously.]
Klaus: That's the spirit. [He takes the vial with his blood and looks at Katherine.]
Klaus: Sweetheart... (compels her) Take this over to Damon and come right back.
Katherine: You want me to leave?
Stefan: No!
Klaus: Yes and if I were you... [She takes the vial and rushes out the door at super speed.]
Klaus: I'd hurry. [He sits down in a chair.]
Stefan: She'll never take it to him. [Klaus cocks his head in a gesture of indifference.]
Salvatore Boarding House
[Damon is in Elena's arms.]
Damon: This is even more pitiful than I thought.
Elena: There's still hope.
Damon: I've made a lot of choices that have gotten me here. I deserve this. I deserve to die.
Elena: No. [She lies down next to him and faces him.] You don't.
Damon: I do, Elena. It's okay. 'Cause if I'd have chosen differently, I wouldn't have met you. I'm so sorry. Done so many things to hurt you.
Elena: It's okay. I forgive you.
Damon: I know you love Stefan. And it will always be Stefan. [She takes his hand and lies next to him, putting her head on his shoulder. But I love you. You should know that. [She cries and nods.]
Elena: I do.
Damon: You should have met me in 1864. You would have liked me. [She raises her head and looks at him.]
Elena: I like you now. Just the way you are. [He closes his eyes. She kisses him.]
"Did she just kiss her boyfriend's brother?" Said Davina.
"And told him she likes him." Said Layla.
Damon: Thank you.
Elena: You're welcome.
Katherine: Well, it's me you should be thanking. [Elena turns and gets up off the bed to see Katherine leaning on the doorframe holding the vial in her hand.]
Katherine: I mean, I'm the one who brought the cure. [Katherine looks at her and starts walking towards the bed.]
Katherine: I thought you were dead.
Elena: I was.
"Then why didn't you do us all a favour and stay dead?!" Said Bella and throw a popcorn at screen.
[Katherine sits down next to Damon.]
Damon: You got free.
Katherine: Yep. Finally. [She pours some of the blood from the vial into Damon's mouth.]
Damon: And you still came here? [She touches his face.]
Katherine: I owed you one. [She gets up.]
Elena: Where's Stefan?
Katherine: Are you sure you care?
Elena: Where is he?
Katherine: He's paying for this. [She shows her the vial.] He gave himself over to Klaus. I wouldn't expect him anytime soon.
Elena: What do you mean, "he gave himself over"?
Katherine: He just sacrificed everything to save his brother, including you. It's a good thing you have Damon to keep you company. Good-bye, Elena. Oh. It's okay to love them both. I did. [She tosses her the vial and disappears. Damon starts to get up and looks at Elena.]
"Badass" muttered Layla.
Warehouse
[Elijah is lying in a coffin. Klaus is looking at him. Two men are standing nearby. They are in a warehouse filled with wooden crates.]
Klaus: I suppose, brother, you've been reunited with our family. [He closes the coffin and looks at the two men.]
Klaus: Put him with the others. We're leaving town tonight. [They puts him with others coffins.]
Mikaelsons glared at Klaus.
[Stefan is standing nearby and receives a text reading "Damon's okay. Where R U?".]
Klaus: So...Did Katerina make it in time?
Stefan: You won't be seeing her again, you know.
Klaus: Because she's on vervain? I've been around a long time, Stefan. I rarely get played for a fool. Besides, she won't get far. You'll help me see to that. [Stefan walks up to them.]
Stefan: What is it you really want from me?
Klaus: All will be explained in time. Once we leave this tragic little town.
Stefan: Then are we done here? Can we go?
Klaus: Not quite. You see, I have a gift for you. Come here, sweetheart. Don't be afraid. [A girl walks over from behind a crate. Klaus looks at Stefan.]  See, I wanna make sure you honor our deal...that you'll be of use to me. [He bites the girl's neck and drinks her blood.]  I could have compelled her to behave, but a real ripper enjoys the hunt. [He releases her. She runs away, screaming. Stefan stops her, bites her and drinks her blood until she's dead. Klaus looks at him.]
Klaus: Now we can go.
