Little Wolf

Season 3 Ep 9

His phone rings. He answers, It's Stefan "Portland is fantastic once you can get over all the whiney music and healthy-looking people. It's literally a breeding ground for werewolves." Klaus says "Your father's dead." Stefan says "What did you say to me?" Klaus asks "Oh, my mistake. Not your actual father, and not dead. Mikael. Daggered. What do you want me to do with the body?" Stefan says "Well, first, I want you to explain to me exactly what happened." Klaus says

One Hour earlier

Stefan, Elena and Damon enter the library "All right, we'll say that Mikael followed Elena in here. He tried to grab her so he could use her as bait." Stefan stays "And you, what, vervained him?" Elena asks "No, we vervained him. The guy's an original. Make it realistic." Damon says "Ok. Fine. We vervained him and in the process discovered that he had a dagger." Stefan says "Which he planned to use on Rebekah. But instead..." Elena says "We drove it through his heart." Stefan says "And what happens when he asks to see Mikael's body?" Elena asks "Good point. You, my brother, have been compelled to do what Klaus says. So if the idea is to lure him back here and kill him, the last thing we need is you getting tripped up and tongue tied." Damon says "Well don't look at me. I'm just in charge of getting him back here." Stefan says "Klaus is smart. If we tell him that Mikael's dead, he'll want proof." Elena says, Mikael enters "Then I shall be dead." Mikael says, He puts a dagger and a vial of white oak ashes on the table "What if he wants to see in person?" Elena says "Well, it means our plan is working. Klaus will absolutely want to see my body. You lure him here, and I will kill him." Mikael says "With what? Those daggers won't work on him." Stefan says "Well, I'm in possession of a stake fashioned from the wood of the ancient white oak tree The one that left these ashes when it burned." Mikael says "Where is it?" Damon asks .Not here. Knowing its location is my insurance policy." Mikael says "He puts the dagger in the vial containing the white oak tree ashes "Against what?" Stefan asks "You leaving this in my heart. You see, a vampire can't dagger an original without dying. So... it falls to you." Mikael says
He holds the dagger toward Elena "You want me to actually dagger you?" Elena asks
"Klaus will leave nothing to chance. Especially when it comes to trust." Mikael says

Back to one hour later

"I want to see him. I want to see his rotting body for myself." Klaus says "Well, he's here." Stefan says, He gets up and looks at Mikael's body. Elena and Damon are here "Come by whenever." Stefan says "If you're lying to me, Stefan, your compulsion will expose you. So answer with your life. Is what you're saying the truth?" Klaus asks "It's true. I saw it with my own eyes." Stefan says "I want to talk to Rebekah or Artemis." Klaus says, He looks at Damon and Elena and turns himself
That's not a problem. Rebekah's right here." Stefan says, He looks at Rebekah and gives her the phone, "Hello, Nik." Rebekah says .Rebekah, love. What's this I hear about Mikael's tragic run-in with a dagger?" Klaus asks "It's true. He's finally out of our lives for good. I miss you. I'm miserable here, Artemis misses you too." Rebekah says "I'll be home soon, tell Artemis I love her." Klaus says "Good, I will, I'll see you then, brother."
She hangs up, looks at Mikael and then gives the phone to Stefan "He bought it. He's coming home." Rebekah says, Elena is relieved. Rebekah leaves the room. Stefan looks at Elena and Damon "Now was that easy or what?" Damon asks "Let's just get this over with." Elena says, She removes the dagger from Mikael.

Rebekah is painting Artemis's nails. Mikael wakes up "Finally. Took you long enough." Rebekah says, Rebekah..." Mikael says "Whatever fatherly rubbish you're thinking, save it. Nothing you say matters to me." Rebekah says "I see. Where's my dagger? and who is this?" Mikael says "Elena has it. So you can forget your plans to use it on me and she is none of your business." Rebekah says "You were never the one I was after." Mikael says
Nik is my family. If you were after him, you were after me." Rebekah says "He blinded you, Rebekah. He killed your mother." Mikael says "I know what he did. And he'll pay for it. But Nik was not born a killer. None of us were. You did this to us when you turned us into vampires. You destroyed our family. Not him." Rebekah says "Rebekah..." Mikael says, She leaves with Artemis.
