The Vampire Diaries

Previously on The Vampire Diaries:

For over a century, I have lived in secret. Until now.

I know the risk, but I have to know her.

- What are you? - I'm a vampire.

He told me about your ex. Katherine?

I don't want you seeing Elena anymore.

If you don't remove her from your life, I will kill everyone that she loves.

- You must be Elena. - How do we look exactly alike?

The Lockwoods are werewolves.

The werewolf gene runs in the Lockwood family.

- What triggers the curse? - You kill somebody!

The werewolf part of the curse is sealed with a moonstone.

Katherine will only rip your heart out. Let me do it for her.

You have no idea what you've done.

- Did I put a kink in your master plan? - Do you honestly believe...

...that I don't have a Plan B? - Jenna, no!

We were stupid, sneaking around, thinking we weren't gonna get caught.

- But it's over. - I'm going to go after Tyler Lockwood.

- And you're not going to stop... - Until he kills me.

Here.

I'm still shaking.

What happened?

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

- I saw Katherine today. - Where?

At the Grill. I just stopped by to just gawk...

...and quasi-stalk Matt.

- Do you need a table? - No. I...

I'm not staying. I just needed to use the little girls' room.

Skip the teen drama. 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.

- Elena. - Hey.

I saw you with Matt. Are you okay?

Yeah.

Whatever.

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

I know Elena's at...

I know Elena's at home.

I need you to deliver a message.

What was the message?

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.

Tonight, at the masquerade ball.

She wants to do it public.

- Killing Mason threw her off guard. She's running scared.

- What she did to Jenna was desperate. - We can't underestimate her.

- We have to play this smarter than her. - Can't we give her the stone?

No. Katherine's not getting dick. I've had it.

I'm gonna go to the ball, and I'm gonna kill her.

- You're not gonna kill her. - Don't give me that.

- You're not gonna kill her. - Oh, really?

Because I am.

Easy.

- Okay. - Grab the door, Jer.

- Okay, stop fussing. I'm fine. - The doctor said to take it easy.

You don't wanna rip your stitches, hemorrhage and die.

The only thing I'm gonna die from is embarrassment.

- No. - I walked into a knife.

How does somebody do that?

- It was a freak accident. - Yeah. It happens.

Yeah, I mean, I've done it like 20 times at the Grill.

Okay, I'm being nice.

- Hey, careful. - All right. Easy.

- What should I do with this? I got it.

- So, what are we gonna do? - Make lunch.

About Katherine.

- We're not gonna do anything, Jeremy. - She tried to kill Jenna.

- We can't let her get away with that. - Yes. If it keeps us safe, then we can.

What if she tries something else?

She won't. Katherine hurt Jenna because I didn't do what she said.

Well, I'm doing it now. Me and Stefan are over.

She wins. The end.

You're being naive, and you know it.

- Where are you going? - Out.

I'll be back.

Where should I put these?

Right there. Thank you, Miss Flowers. You've been such a wonderful help.

It's my pleasure, dear. Let me know if there's anything else I can do.

I will.

- Whoa, Kat, chill. - Do not sneak up on a vampire.

Don't attack a witch.

It's good to see you, girl.

- I'm glad you made it. - You called, I came.

- Like you had a choice. - Now, don't get all boss-lady on me.

You know I love you.

Hmm.

- Now, where does one wear this? - To a masquerade ball.

Tonight.

You wanna be my date?

- Hey. Come on in. - I got Stefan's message.

Hey. You brought the Grimoire. Thank you.

What's going on?

We're gonna kill Katherine.

- I can explain. - Please.

We're gonna kill Katherine.

Now, this works with compressed air.

Trigger mechanism here. I've got two of these in a different size.

Now, for you, I recommend this.

Fits nicely under a jacket sleeve. Here's the trigger. And when you're ready:

You wanted me to show you how to kill a vampire, so...

What's with the hair?

I'm impersonating my dull-as-dishwater doppelgänger, Elena.

- She has the worst taste. - Except in men.

Isn't it a risk pretending to be her in front of the entire town?

I've gotten quite good at it, actually, and everyone's gonna be in masks.

Mm-mm.

It's for some feed-the-something charity. It's for a good cause, Lucy.

Ha, ha. Okay. Well, have you actually seen the moonstone before?

- I thought it was some made-up legend. - I have seen it.

I need you to help me get it back.

Oh, yeah? What are you gonna do with it?

You want me to break the curse.

Let's just get it first. What I really need is for backup.

I can't imagine that Damon and Stefan are just gonna hand it over...

...without putting up a fight.

I know you love Elena, and you wanna be with her, but it's risky.

Too many people can get hurt.

Look, I want Elena back, yes, but it's more than that.

I mean, what Katherine did to Jenna, it crossed a line. She has to be stopped.

- I don't know, Stefan. - Look, Katherine knows me.

She knows I'm not gonna try something in a crowd full of innocent people.

So that gives me an edge. I can catch her by surprise.

I could do a spell to trap her. Like the tomb spell.

Right. We can isolate her away from the others.

Please, Bonnie.

Okay.

You're welcome to hang out. Alaric's coming.

It's gonna be pizza and bad TV.

Uh, I'd love to, but I'm going to the masquerade party at Lockwood's.

Aren't you?

Uh, no, not with what's going on with me and Stefan.

I've gotta go. There's something I gotta do.

What?

Just something. I can't talk about it. But I've gotta go.

- Okay. Well, have fun. - Yeah. Me in a suit.

You look good in a suit.

You and Stefan will work it out.

I don't think so, Matt.

There's so much about me and Stefan that'll never work.

You know I'm here for you always.

Are you sure you don't want me there?

No. Stay with Elena. I don't want her to know about this.

Okay. Well, I'll make sure she doesn't leave my sight.

All right. If anybody wants to back out, I'll understand.

Cold feet, speak now. I don't want this going wrong...

...because someone chickens out. Caroline?

I won't. Look, she killed me.

Fair's fair. As long as there are no werewolves running around.

Oh, I took care of Mason.

As long as Tyler doesn't kill anyone, he won't turn.

Bonnie?

You with us?

- But no one gets hurt. Except Katherine.

Tonight, Katherine gets a stake through her heart.

[CRUEL BLACK DOVE'S "LOVE MY WAY" PLAYING OVER SPEAKERS]

And making it our way

There's emptiness behind their eyes

There's dust in all their hearts

It's already packed out there.

You know, we need to keep that door shut.

Your father would be very unhappy if I let guests in here.

Oh, look at you. So handsome.

Thanks. You look pretty good too, Mom.

Oh, a compliment. I think I'll fall over.

Listen...

...I'm sorry I've been a dick lately.

A jerk lately.

It's just...

- Have you heard from Mason? - No, and I don't think we're going to.

He's coming, he's going. It's just his way.

He's the exact opposite of your father.

We should've canceled this party.

This whole masquerade theme was his idea.

I don't know what it has to do with helping the homeless...

...but once he made up his mind, he could really be a dick.

A jerk.

But I loved him.

And I know you did too.

It's natural to feel abandoned.

I just don't want you to feel alone.

Come on, put your mask on.

Let's just go out there and pretend to have some fun.

I think I need a cocktail first.

- Elena. - Matt?

- You look dashing. - I thought you said you weren't coming.

I couldn't miss it.

You really are hot in a suit. I would love to just...

Okay, here's the deal. Do you know what you have to do?

I'm going to get Tyler Lockwood really drunk.

I'm going to start a fight with him, and I'm gonna beat him until he snaps.

- And then? - I won't stop until he kills me.

God, you're hot.

- Now go away. - Thank you.

- You see her? - Nope.

- Sure you can do this? - Pfft. Who are you talking to?

I had the chance to kill her, and I hesitated.

Well, that is the fork in the road between you and me, my friend.

I don't hesitate.

I mean, you spent 145 years loving her. It could happen.
