[Salvatore's House]

(Damon is tied to a chair. Like Mason was when he killed him. His ring is on the floor. Stefan enters)

Damon: Low blow, Stefan. Low blow

Stefan: What the hell happened to you?

Damon: Whatever twisted ripper game this is, leave me out of it

Stefan: I didn't do this

Damon: Quit screwin' around!

Stefan: I didn't

(He checks the chains)

Stefan: It's pretty messed up though, isn't it?

Damon: Yep

(Stefan removes the iron stick. Damon screams. Stefan begins to remove the chains but stops and leaves. Mason is here, watching them but Damon can't see him)

Damon: Yeah, not to worry. I'll just untangle myself

(Mason opens the curtains so the sunlight can enter the room. Damon's skin burns. He screams)


[The town]

(Everyone prepare the town for the night of illuminations, hanging lanterns to the trees. Carol Lockwood Is making a speech for the volunteers and the citizens)

Carol: As a long-time member of the historical society, I am especially proud to be kicking off this day of festivities. Thank you, volunteers. Tonight, we turn off our town's lights and flare up our lanterns in honor of the night of illumination started by our founders 150 years ago. Here's founding family member Tobias fell with a history lesson

(Everyone applause. Alaric, ethan and Jeremy are listening to the speech)

Jeremy: What are we doing here?

Alaric: Tobias fell is the head of the history department. I didn't have a choice

Jeremy: All right, that explains what you're doing here

Alaric: Well, I'm the one who can fail you if you don't help me out

(Elena rejoins them)

Elena: Hey, sorry I'm late. What did I miss?

(Anna appears but only Jeremy can see her)

Anna: Just a bunch of historical lies

Jeremy: You didn't miss anything

(Tobias fell is making Is speech)

Tobias: The first illumination was held in celebration with the new found prosperity that Mystic Falls enjoyed after the war

Anna: After the founders stole from all the vampires

(Jeremy laughs. Elena looks at him)

Elena: What's so funny?

(Jeremy looks at the stage. Elena turns her head to look too. Anna keeps commenting on the speech)

Anna: Safe from the vampires

(Jeremy smiles. Anna smiles too, looks at him and takes his hand)

(Caroline helps Bonnie and chelsea hang lanterns to the trees)

Chelsea: So when you did the spell to send Vicki away, did that get rid of Anna, too?

Bonnie: I wish. All I did was block the magic that was helping Vicki get a physical foothold here. Jeremy's still got a direct line to the other side, and as long as he wants to see Anna and she wants to see him, she's still here

Caroline: Ok, you don't think I can actually resist commenting on that

Bonnie: There. You commented

Chelsea: Bonnie...

Bonnie: What do you want me to say, Chelsea? I went against the balance of nature when I brought Jeremy back to life, and now I'm paying the consequences

Caroline: Well, I want you to say you're not ok with it

Bonnie: I'm a thousand times not ok with it. I just don't know what to do about it

(Damon stops by them with his car)

Damon: Greetings, blondie...wolfie... Witchy. I think you got your voodoo wires all crossed when you got rid of Vicki Donovan

Bonnie: What do you mean, why?

Damon: Because I'm pretty sure I just got spit-roasted by Mason Lockwood's ghost

chelsea: What?

Caroline: And why would you think that?

Damon: Maybe because he chained me to a chair and shoved a hot poker in my chest. Let's just say I'm having déjà vu

(Caroline and chelsea look at Bonnie)

Caroline: I thought you said that ghosts couldn't physically interact with people

Bonnie: They can't

Damon: Yeah, well, I don't have time for a vengeful Lockwood. When I kill someone, they're supposed to stay dead. Whatever you screwed up, fix it

(He leaves. Matt is on the other side of the road, looking at them)


[Mystic Grill]

(Jeremy, Elena, ethan and Alaric are sitting outside the mystic grill. Stefan's journal are on the table)

Elena: Hey, Jer, I need you to help me with something

Jeremy: What's up?

Elena: I've been going through Stefan's old journals. Every single time that he's gone off the rails in the past, his best friend Lexi's been the one to bring him back

Alaric: So where is she now that we need her?

Jeremy: She's dead

(He looks at Elena)

Jeremy: And you want me to try to reach her, don't you?

Elena: I thought if I knew how she did it, maybe I could help him

Jeremy: I don't even know if she's on the other side

Ethan: Is that what it's called?

Jeremy: That's what Anna calls it. There's not like an official brochure or anything

Alaric: So what is it, like some sort of supernatural purgatory?

Jeremy: Well, Anna said it's like being here with all of us, only we can't see her or hear her. And she can't interact with anyone. She's all alone

(Anna appears in the empty seat)

Alaric: Vicki could interact. She blew up my car

Jeremy: Vicki had help from a witch on the other side. Anna...She's doing this all by herself

Alaric: I'm just saying, maybe we learned our lesson about summoning dead people
