Alina came from down the stairs. Elena and Alaric are preparing dinner and setting the table.
Alaric: So, you're ready? He asked Elena. Elena: Vampires, hybrids and originals. No problem. My rebellious brother. I'm worried.
Alaric: Proof that you're still human. Alina came to them. "Mm a nice dinner! What's the occasion?"
The front door opens and Jeremy enters and goes to the fridge.
"It's about Jeremy." She whispered. Elena: Just in time! We're cooking. Jeremy: Sorry, just passing through.
Alaric: Ah, well I thought we would all stay in, have a meal together like a typical, atypical family. Jeremy: Why?
Elena: Maybe because you got fired and you didn't tell anyone. "Wait! He got what?!!" Jeremy looks at them surprised that they know.
Alina hit his shoulder. "You dick. Now I can't get any free food." She mumbles.
Jeremy: Ahh- look, can we do this later? I made plans with Tyler. He's right outside. Alaric: Oh wait! When did you start hanging out with Tyler Lockwood?
Jeremy: I don't know...Does it matter? Elena: Yeah, Jeremy! It matters. He was sired by Klaus. He's dangerous. Alina looks at her sister.
Jeremy looks at me. "She's right. Tyler is uh dangerous.." I said. But wouldn't I be to? A loose wolf running around.
What if I killed Elena? Damon? Stefan? Anyone else..
Jeremy: He can still hear you. He is right outside. Besides you of all people are gonna lecture me on who I can and can't hang out with?
Elena: What is with the attitude? Jeremy: Yeah, whatever, this is lame. Tyler is waiting. He starts to leave, but Elena blocks his way.
Elena: Oh, no no! You're not going anywhere, especially not with Tyler. Jeremy looks at Alaric for help then me.
"I'm with her on this, Jer. Sorry." Jeremy: All right, fine. You want me to stay in? Let's all stay in then. [He shouts] Yo, Tyler! Come on in!!
Elena: Jeremy...! Tyler opens the door and comes in.
Jeremy gives Tyler a glass of water.
Tyler: Thanks. Elena: This is weird. Klaus has hybrids stalking me and now you're just sitting in our kitchen.
"Wait pause. Klaus hung is stalking you?" Alina said a little mad. Elena nods. "Yeah he was following me when I was running."
Tyler: Look, maybe I should go. Jeremy: Oh, stay. You're not doing anything. Elena: Unless you have to, you know, check in with your hybrid master. Tyler laughs.
Tyler: It's not like that Elena. Alaric: Tell me Tyler...What is the difference between being sired and being compelled?
Tyler: Compulsion-that's just mind control-like hypnosis. And being sired is...it's like faith. You do something because you believe it's the right thing.
