Caroline walks into the cafeteria to see Rebekah and Rosalind cleaning up the mess from the dance.
"Where's Matt?"
"He bailed. Got called into work at the last minute."
"Are you kidding me? So, it's just us?"
"Yes, and you're late. Clean up committee started at eight o'clock."
"It's like 8:02."
"Exactly. I managed to turn up on time and I didn't even get to attend the dance that I organized."
Rebekah walks past Caroline and empties out the trash.
"I'm sorry about your mom. I mean I know you like, hated her and everything, but still...I'm sorry."
"I'm sorry about your teacher. He seemed like a nice guy."
"Yeah. He was."
"I'm gonna get started on the gym."
Rebekah walks out into the hallway. Alaric comes around the corner and Rebekah stops dead in her tracks.
"You're supposed to be dead."
"I am!"
Rebekah rushes at Alaric, but Alaric throws her against the locker. He's about to stab her with the white oak stake when Caroline rushes out of the cafeteria as well as Rosalind and pins Alaric to the locker. Rebekah takes the stake and stabs Alaric with it. Caroline, Rosalind, and Rebekah look at each other as Alaric takes the stake out. When he finally gets it out, he realizes that they are both gone. Outside, Caroline rushes to her car and pulls out her keys and fumbles with them. She sees Alaric's reflection in her car window and drops her keys. Alaric snaps Caroline's neck and she falls to the ground. Alaric drags the unconscious Caroline back towards the school as his flesh starts to smoke and burn off. Rebekah and Rosalind watches him enter the school.

Klaus is packing up things around the house while Rebekah and Rosalind talks to him.
"Alaric Saltzman just tried to kill us."
"Alaric Saltzman is supposed to be dead."
"Well, he's not and he's a vampire thanks to mother's spell with a white oak stake that can't kill him. He's strong, Nic. Too strong."
"Where is he now?"
"He's stuck at the school without a daylight ring, but as soon as night falls he'll come after us. We need to leave now."
"Fine. I'll collect Elena, we'll be on our way."
"Forget Elena! You don't need any more stupid hybrids!"
"What I need is protection from Esther's continued assaults against us."
"We'll protect each other, like we always have. Always and forever, Nic."
"I'm not leaving without her."
"I'm leaving now. You can either walk out that door with me or you are on your own."
Klaus looks at her but says nothing.
"Fine. Trust your hybrids over your family. Let your spite be the death of you, see if I care." Rebekah takes Rosalind's hand, the two walks out of the room, walking into Tyler on the way out. "Move it, sire boy!"
