Tyler, in wolf form, growls and snarls at Caroline and Matt who are on the other side of the iron gate in the Lockwood Cellar. Caroline is holding the gate shut.
“Caroline, let me help!” Matt shouted.
Caroline shook her head, “Get back, I got it!”
Tyler starts to attack, fitting his snout through the bars of the gate and snapping and snarling. Caroline flinches but holds the gate steady. Matt aims the rifle at Tyler. Tyler backs up and attacks a second time.
“Caroline, the door's not going to hold.” Matt backs away; continues pointing the gun at Tyler, “Come on!”
“Tyler, please!” Caroline begged.
Tyler doesn't let up on his attack. Matt shoots Tyler, who yelps in pain and backs away. Matt shoots him again.
“Matt! No, hey, no!” Caroline yelled, “It's Tyler!”
“It’s trying to kill us!” Matt said.
“Wait!” Caroline looks back. Tyler is laying on the ground, panting heavily. “He's wounded.”
“Caroline, stay back.” Matt said.
Caroline begins to unlock the gate. “We can go around him.”
“Are you nuts?”
“You're not going to shoot him again, okay? Okay.” Caroline nodded, “Matt, take my hand.” Caroline extends her hand towards Matt as she opens the gate and walks out. Matt continues to point the gun at Tyler.
“I got it.” Matt said.
Caroline looks back, “Matt, take my hand.”
Matt finally complies and places the rifle over his shoulder. He takes Caroline's hand and she vamp-speeds the two of them out of the cellar.

At Alaric’s Apartment, Damon sits at the bar, observing the werewolf bite on his inner forearm. Katherine stands over him, also observing the bite. “So that's what a werewolf bite looks like.”
“Yep.” Damon said.
“It's not that bad.”
“Will be.” Damon said. Damon stands up and rolls his sleeve down, covering the bite.
“So that's it?” Katherine said, “You're just... going to die?”
“Well, that depends.” Damon shrugged, “You know anything about a cure?” Katherine shakes her head. “Me, either.” Damon grabs his jacket off the couch and puts it on.
“145 years and no last good-bye?” She asked.
“You don't get a good-bye.” Damon turns away from her.
Katherine vamp-speeds in front of him, placing her hand on his chest. “No.” Katherine said, “Don't leave mad.”
“Us ending up on good terms isn't exactly on my bucket list, Katherine.” Damon said. Damon attempts to leave again, but Katherine persists.
“Klaus made me call Jenna to lure her out. There was nothing that I could do.” Katherine said, “I didn't have a choice.”
“That's why I gave you the vervain.” Damon glared at her, “So you had a choice.”
“It was her or me.” Katherine said, “I chose her.”
“I helped you. You owed me.” Damon said, “Now when Klaus dies, you're going to walk out of here without a scratch and Elena’s aunt dies. Spencer’s dad is already dead thanks to Klaus.” Damon narrowed his eyes at her, “And somehow you're the only one that wins. How'd that happen?”
