Caroline is sitting on the couch. Damon gives her a glass of blood. "Here."

"I'm still shaking." She drinks. Stefan arrives.

"What happened?"

" Go ahead, tell him. You're gonna love this."

" I saw Amelia today."

"Where?

"At the Grill. I just stopped by to gawk and...quasi-stalk Matt."

-

"Do you need a table?"

" No, I'm not staying. I just needed to use the little girls' room."

-

"Skip the teen drama and get to it."

" Then I had to pretend to use the bathroom even though I didn't really have to go because I'm a doofus."

Caroline is in the bathroom. She's washing her hands when Amelia arrives. She poses as Elena.

"Elena?"

"Hey, I saw you with Matt, are you okay?"

"Yeah, you know...whatever." Caroline tries to superspeed passed Amelia, but Amelia grabs her and pulls her back.

"You're good. What gave me away? Was it the hair? Or was it my clothes?"


"I know Elena is... I know Elena is at home."

" I need you to deliver a message."

"What was the message?" Asked Stefan.

"Tell Damon and Stefan that I want the moonstone or I will rip this town apart until it rains blood."

"Tell him the rest of it" Damon pressured.

"Tonight. At the masquerade ball." Amelis smirked.

"She wants to do it in public. Killing Mason threw her off guard." Stefan told the two vampires.

"She's running scared. What she did to Jenna was desperate. She's out of tricks." Damon joined in.

"We can't underestimate her. We have to play this smarter than her."

"Can we just give her the moonstone and she'll leave?" Caroline asked. She didn't want to be tormented by the doppelgängers even longer.

"No, Katherine's not getting dick. I've had it. I'm gonna go to the masquerade ball and I'm gonna kill her, tonight." Damon was set on his task.

"You're not gonna kill her." Stefan told his brother.

"Don't give me that goody-goody crap."

"You're not gonna kill her."

"Really?"

"Because I am." Stefan said.
