"Do you think Isobel is telling the truth?" Elena asks while sitting on the couch.
"I don't trust a word she says, but I think we'd be stupid to ignore the warning," Stefan responds.
"You should just stay here. It's better for us to keep an eye on you," Damon says.
"What, in the house that any vampire can enter?" Stefan retorts.
"No, her house is safer," Damon insists.
"Well, then we'll stay there," Stefan concludes.
"Is that the plan, neither of you let me out of your sight?" Elena scoffs.
"Let me know when you come up with a better one," Damon smirks.
"Then one of you is gonna have to come with me, to the Lockwood luncheon," Elena says.
"You aren't going," Estela says, walking into the room with a smile, having just been off the phone.
"What?" Elena replies.
"You stay here with your two princes, leave me to do the rest. I mean, that's the reason I'm here, right?" Estela smirks.
"What have you been planning?" Damon raises his eyebrows at her.
"Something," Estela shrugs, as she leaves the room.
Estela walks out, and as the door closes, she pulls out her phone, quickly dialing a number, leaving the room wondering about her mysterious plans.

Katherine closes the door behind her, entering the room as she speaks urgently into the phone. "I'm at your house. But we have to hurry. Damon knows your lodging tricks," she says.
"I'm sorry, Katherine. I was told to say what I knew," Isobel responds on the other line and ends the call.
"What?" Katherine stresses, glancing around in paranoia. Suddenly, Estela strolls into the room with a confident smirk.
"Estela!" Katherine shouts, alarmed. Estela casually raises her hand, and Katherine is gripped by intense pain in her head. She starts screaming, collapsing onto the floor.
Estela stands there, unaffected, as Klaus's witch calmly enters the room.
"She's all yours," Estela says with a sinister smile, then turns and walks out of the house, leaving behind a scene of uncertainty and treachery.
