Ryan walks into the living room of the boarding house with a glass of blood; she went to Katherine and her meeting spot behind the grill and staked her in the stomach for compelling Jenna to stab herself before simply walking away.

"Here, babe," Ryan coos as she hands Caroline the blood; Ryan is borrowing some of Elena's clothes until she gets ready for the masquerade tonight.

"I'm still shaking," Caroline claims as Ryan sits beside her.

Stefan comes walking in as Care takes a sip. "What happened?"

"Go ahead, tell him," Damon urges and he looks at his brother. "You're gonna love this."

"I saw Katherine today," Caroline states.

"At the Grill," Caroline replies as Ryan takes her free hand assuringly. "I stopped by to gawk at and... quasi stalk Matt. Matt asked me if I needed a to use the little girls room."

"Skip the teen drama and get to it," Damon demands.

"Shut up," Ryan snaps and Damon quirks an eyebrow at her. "She's getting there."

"Thanks," Caroline says. "Then i has to pretend to use the bathropm even though I didn't really have to go because I'm a total doofus. She... she warned me to deliver a message."

"What was the message?" Stefan asksn.

"Tell Damon amd Stefan that I want the moonstone or I will rip this town apart until it rains blood," Caroline says, word for word of what Katherine said.

"Tell him the rest, babe," Ryan coos.

"Tonight," Caroline says, "at the masquerade ball."

"She wants to do it in public," Stefan says as Damon paces. "Killing Mason threw her off guard."

"She's running scared and apparently she had a run in with vampire killer last night," Damon says and he sends Ryan a knowing look. "What she did to Jenna was desperate. She's out of tricks."

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

"Can we just give her the moonstone so she'll leave?" Caroline asks.

"No, Katherine's not getting dick," Damon grunts. "I've had it. I'm gonna go to the masquerade ball and I'm gonna kill her, tonight. Sorry, Ryan."

"I'm right there with you, Damon, she's not my friend anymore after what she did to Jenna," Ryan says.

"You're not gonna kill her," Stefan says matter-of-factly.
