Nobodies POV

Elena is looking for Alaric's wedding ring in a chest of drawers.

"What if Bonnie's spell doesn't work? What are you gonna do with him?" Stefan ask

"I'm not gonna do anything, Stefan. I'm gonna keep looking until we find something that'll help him." Elena says

"You don't know how long this has been going on. Might be too late." Stefan says

"It's my family's ring that's doing this to him. It's my responsibility to fix it." Elena says

"You can't put that on yourself. Not everyone is your responsibility. Not everyone can be saved." Stefan says

"Are we talking about Alaric here or are we talking about you? Because I wasn't planning on giving up on either of you." Elena says

Stefan and Elena look at each other. Stefan then opens up the last drawer. Inside are photos of the dead bodies of Bill Forbes and Brian Walters, newspaper clippings, and other stuff about the murders.

"What is that?" Elena ask

Stefan picks up one of the pictures. "Pictures of his victims." Stefan says

....

Stefan and Elena are looking through the stuff in the drawer. Elena sees an envelope with Jeremy's name on it. She opens it and takes out the papers inside. She reads the note attached to all the other papers.

"Jeremy, if anything happens to me, carry on my work. You have the other ring, let the ring make you strong. The council must be cleansed before the work can begin." Elena reads

Stefan takes the papers from Elena.

"It's the Founders Council roster. Looks like some sort of hit list." Stefan says

"No, Alaric didn't write this." Elena says "Who else would have written it, Elena?" Stefan ask

Elena tears up the note that Alaric wrote for Jeremy and continues to search for the wedding ring in the drawer. She finds the aspirin bottle, opens it, and tips the ring into her hand.

"I have to get back." Elena says, she then pulls out her phone.

"Who are you calling." Stefan ask "someone who can possibly help him." Elena says

....

Meredith is in the kitchen. She grabs two cups out of a cupboard. Alaric enters the room.

"Looking for something?" Alaric ask "I don't know where anything is in this house." Meredith says

She pours the coffee into the mugs. "I'm sorry, I can't remember, do you take cream?" Meredith says

"No cream." Alaric says

"I was gonna make sandwiches. I'm starving." Meredith says

"Can I ask you a question?" Alaric ask "No mustard. I hate mustard." Meredith says "Do you ever feel remorse?" Alaric ask

Meredith looks up and turns to face Alaric.

"I'm sorry?" Meredith ask "Well." Alaric says

Alaric picks up a knife off the counter and walks around the counter, coming closer towards Meredith.

"You are a council member. And the Council was formed to protect the people of this town from vampires and yet, here you all are, just looking the other way, ignoring your responsibilities. Like you and your vampire blood. So I'm asking you, do you ever feel remorse? Because you should." Alaric says
