Mystic Grill
[Klaus is sitting at the bar, drinking a glass of red wine. Caroline approaches him.]
Caroline: [taking off her jacket] Place looks pretty good considering your hybrid got blown up in it.
Klaus: Caroline. To what do I owe the pleasure? [Caroline stands next to him.]
Caroline: I want you to give Elena back.
Klaus: Ah, they sent you to sweet talk me. Well, good form, but I'm afraid I can't do it.
Caroline: Why not?
Klaus: She needs my help. [Caroline scoffs and rolls her eyes.]
Klaus: Look, I'm not gonna burden you with the gory details, I know you have enough on your plate already.
Caroline: That's none of your business, actually.
Klaus: Yes, well, just know that if Tyler was still sired to me he never would have hurt you.
"You are such a cliche bad boy." Said Layla. Klaus rolled his eyes at her.
[Caroline looks at him. Klaus looks up at her.]
Klaus: I wouldn't have let him. Can I at least offer you a drink? [Caroline hesitates.]
Caroline: Yeah. Thanks. [Klaus smiles.]
Klaus's Family Mansion-Bella's room
[Bella is sitting on the bed and we see she's talking to "Firefly❤️‍🔥".]
Layla: I have problems with a boy.
Bella: Like his dead body won't fit in your trunk problems or you like him problems?
Layla: I like him problems.
Bella: Too bad, I could've helped with the other one.
Everyone laugh.
"Classic Bella." Said Davina.
Layla: Forget it!
Bella: Okay, okay. I'll try my best. Tell me.
Layla: The problem is who i like is my best friend.
Bella: Why is that a problem?
Layla: Because it might ruin our friendship. If i tell him and he doesn't like me back, it would get awkward between us and everything will change.
Bella: Love is risk and i'm sure Enzo likes you, too.
Layla: (blushing) I- how did you know?
Bella: Girl, i raised you. You think i wouldn't notice you like someone?
Layla: So you think i should tell him.
Bella: Yes. He won't do it for the same reason you don't want to, so you will have to do it.
Layla: It's not that easy and why are you being so supportive? Usually, you don't like someone i like.
FLASHBACK-Bella's House- Canada- 1811
[Layla and boy comes into house, Bella is opening the room.]
Bella: Hello! Bellatrix. Layla's mother.
Boy: Luke. Layla's boyfriend.
Bella: Come on. Dinner is ready.
Layla: Sorry, you go, i have to use bathroom. [Layla leaves Luke and Bella. The second Layla leaves, Bella's face falls and she looks murderous.]
Bella: Hurt my daughter in any way and i'll rip out your spleen and wear it as a fucking necklace. But only after i'll skin you alive and enjoy how you scream in agonoising pain, understand? [Luke nodded scared.]
"Muum!" Said Layla.
"What? I just gave him a little warning." Said Bella.
"You scared him off!" Said Layla.
"If he can't take even a little threat for you, he isn't good enough for you!" Said Bella. Layla sighs frustrated. Others looked amused.
[Layla comes back and Bella's face completly changes and becomes kind and smiley.]
"Wow. Now that is transformation." Said Hayley.
Klaus's Family Mansion-Bella's room-PRESENT
Bella: Because you got your taste in man from me, but Enzo... He is good guy and is one of the most loyal person i have ever met. He deserves a chance, but don't worry if he hurts you, i'll still kill him. [Layla laughs]
Layla: Thanks, mom. I love you.
Bella: I love you, too, firefly!
"Why do you call her firefly?" Asked Hayley.
"Because she showed up during dark period of my life and light it up." Smiled Bella. Layla smiled back.
Klaus' Family Mansion
[Outside of the room, Chris approaches the two hybrids standing guard at Elena's room.]
Chris: Klaus said you two have to go to Tyler.
Klaus glared at them.
Kimberley: Why?
Chris: Something about his girl Caroline. I'll take over here. [The two hybrids look at each other and walk off. Chris watches them leave. Stefan turns around the corner and walks towards Chris. Chris hands him the keys. Stefan unlocks the door to Elena's room and enters. Elena is sitting on the floor with her arms wrapped around her legs. She gasps and turns to look at the door.]
Stefan: Elena. Hey. [Stefan walks into the room slowly. Elena starts to back
away. She sees Stefan as Connor.]
Stefan: Hey, it's okay. It's me.
Elena: No, no. [She scrambles off the floor and continues to back away.] Stay - Stay away from me.
Stefan: Let me help you. [Elena rushes towards the bed and grabs a lead pipe that is underneath it. She rushes at Stefan. Stefan grabs her by the wrist, preventing her from harming him.]
Stefan: Elena, stop! [Elena throws Stefan against the wall and rushes at him. She stabs him in the stomach with the lead pipe and rushes out of the room. Stefan falls to the floor.]
Mystic Grill
[Caroline is looking at her phone. She's received the following messages from Stefan: "I lost Elena.", "I need a vampire to kill. I'll turn someone if I have to.", and "Get an answer. Fast." She looks at Klaus and smiles innocently.]
Caroline: So, here's the thing, I didn't just come here to try to get you to release Elena.
Klaus: You don't say.
Caroline: I came here to distract you so that Stefan could go to your house and break her out, which he did. And, don't get mad, but then he lost her. [Klaus gets up in a fury. Caroline gets up as well.]
Caroline: Klaus. [Klaus turns and looks at her.]
Klaus: Caroline, you're beautiful, but if you don't stop talking, I will kill you. [Klaus turns around and starts to walk off.]
Caroline: They figured out how to stop the hallucinations. [He stops and turns around towards her again.]
Klaus: Okay, you have ten seconds to tell me.
Lockwood Mansion
Tyler: You're doing a good thing, Chris.
Chris: Yeah, well, let's see how fast a good thing can get me out of town. [Hayley hugs Chris.]
Hayley: Call me when you're safe, okay?
Chris: Yeah. [Chris picks up his stuff and opens the front door. Klaus enters the house.]
Klaus: Going somewhere? [Klaus grabs Chris by the throat and superspeeds him into the staircase.]
Klaus: When I said don't let her out of your sight, what did you think I meant?
Tyler: It's not his fault, it's mine. I was distracting you. It's my fault she got away!
Klaus: Then maybe you should be the one to die for it.
Hayley: No one has to die!
"Do you have a death wish?" Asked Bella.
[Klaus rushes at Hayley.]
Klaus: (Shouting) Did I not say mind your business?!
Hayley: Tyler's covering for me. I'm the one that let her go.
Tyler: Hayley...
Hayley: [she stops Tyler] No. You want someone dead, go ahead. Kill me. I'd rather die anyway than end up as one of your sired little bitches.
"You realise that to end up as one of his sired bitches, you have to die, right?" Said Bella.
"You know what i meant." Said Hayley.
Klaus: Don't tempt me, little wolf. [Klaus turns around to Chris.]
Klaus: Your existence is to serve me. To please me. Do you understand?
Chris: I'm sorry, I won't fail you again.
Klaus: No, you won't. [He moves aside.] Get out of here. [Chris quickly walks to the front door. Stefan comes through the door and stabs him with a stake. Chris falls to the ground.]
Hayley: No! [Hayley covers her hand with her mouth and cries. Jeremy walks into the house with a cleaver in his hands.]
Tyler: Jeremy? What the hell, man?!
Stefan: I'm sorry. [Stefan looks at Jeremy and nods. Jeremy chops Chris' head off with the cleaver. Hayley screams and hides her face. Jeremy's tattoo grows.]
Lockwood Mansion
[Caroline is standing outside the house with her clipboard in hand. Three girls walk towards her with flower arrangements.]
Caroline: Woah, woah, woah, stop, stop! [The girls come to a halt.]
Caroline: Those flowers go in the back as indicated by the floral chart that you guys had plenty of time to memorize.
[The girls turn around and walk off.]
Caroline: Yeah, thank you. [Caroline looks down at her clipboard again. Klaus walks up to her.]
Klaus: Now, how did I know I'd find you at the helm of the ship? [She looks at him and then back down at her clipboard.]
Caroline: Go away. I'm busy.
Klaus: I was wondering what time I should pick you up tomorrow. [Caroline looks up from her clipboard again and over at him.]
Caroline: How about a quarter to never? [She looks away again. Klaus moves closer towards her.]
Klaus: I was promised a date in return for one of my hybrids.
Caroline: Yes, a date. Like to a movie where we don't have to talk and I can put at least three seats between us.
Klaus: Well, surely the reigning Miss Mystic Falls won't be hosting the party alone. [Caroline finally turns around and looks at him with her full attention.]
Klaus: And I assume you're not taking Tyler. Not after his indiscretions with his lady werewolf friend. [Klaus looks up at her with puppy dog eyes.]
Caroline: Fine. If you insist on coming, meet me here. Two p.m. [She starts to walk away.] Black tie optional. [She quickly turns around and points at him] And I already have a dress, so don't even think of getting me so much as a corsage, you understand? [Klaus looks down submissively and nods.]
"Good boy." Teased Bella. Everyone laughed, Kol's laugh was the loudest. Klaus glared at them.
[Caroline walks up the stairs.]
Klaus: I'll see you tomorrow, Caroline.
Lockwood Mansion
[Caroline is outside, picking up empty champagne glasses from tables. She smiles at the attendees of the pageant and walks angrily over to a bus boy.]
Caroline: Hey, why am I bussing your tables? [She slams the champagne glasses onto his tray.]
Caroline: I said no empty glasses. [The bus boy walks off. Caroline strides over to the orchestra.]
Caroline: Will you guys pick up the tempo?! [She snaps her fingers at them.]
Caroline: This is a pageant, not a funeral. [She turns around and walks away. Klaus walks up to her.]
Klaus: And how am I doing? [Caroline stops and looks at him.]
Caroline: You're... perfect. [Klaus smiles.]
Bella raised her eyebrow.
"I think she starts to like you." Said Layla.
Caroline: Just so beyond annoying, I can't even look at you. [Klaus doesn't say anything. Caroline eventually looks at him again anyway. Klaus looks over Caroline's shoulder at Hayley and Tyler who are walking up the lawn towards the house together and holding hands.]
Klaus: They didn't waste any time, did they? [Caroline turns around and looks at them. She seems upset. Klaus looks over at her. Caroline continues to watch Hayley and Tyler.]
Caroline: Let's just get today over with.
[She strides past Klaus.]
