"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." "You must be Elena." "How do we look exactly alike?" "I don't want you seeing Elena anymore." "If you don't remove her from your life," "I will kill everyone that she loves." "The Lockwoods are werewolves." "According to my uncle, you have to trigger the curse." "Somebody has to die at your hands." "You tried to kill a werewolf and failed." "Now you made an enemy." "Thank you, Mason." "Let's do this." "Each with a stake in the heart, then burn them both." "Hi, mom." "Keep Caroline away from me, please." " She's your daughter, Liz." " Not anymore." "I'm just looking for this old piece of my mom's." "It's a moon stone." "Thank you." " You got it." " I got it." "You're staring." "I'm gazing." " It's creepy." " It's romantic." "Oh, this is bad of us." "Mmm, yes, it is." "If Katherine finds out..." "Katherine who?" "Ms. Flowers will think I'm a floozy if I have a man in here." "Why are you staying here?" "Because I like this little bed and breakfast," " Don't you?" " I love it." "Ok, I, um, I need to get in the shower." " Love it." "Let's go." " No, just me." "I'm late." "I'm decorating at the Lockwood charity thing." "Well, what do you know?" "So am I." "You think that's really a good idea to be at their house today?" "Mason Lockwood tried to kill you." "Where's the moonstone?" "It's somewhere safe." "Don't you trust me?" "I don't trust anyone." "I don't trust Mason." "I want to be there today to keep an eye on him." "Ok." "But then we can't touch, or talk." "And no lingering stares." "No." "None of that." "What do you think will happen if Katherine finds out that we were fake fighting?" "You're scared I'm going to kill you?" "No." "You won't." "Ow, Kath, easy!" "Did I hurt you?" "Sorry." "Did it hurt?" "It's ok." "A little bit every day will make you stronger, right?" "What happens once I give you the moonstone?" "We'll live happily ever after." "I promise." "I'll bring it tonight, I promise." "I promise you." "We're gonna get through this." "I love you, Stefan." "You know I love you." "I love you, too." "I need to talk to you." "And why do I need to talk to you?" "Tyler Lockwood has to kill someone to activate his curse." "He's not a werewolf yet." "Wow." "Fascinating." "Not enough." "But Mason Lockwood is, and he's looking for a moonstone;" "A special rock connected to the werewolf legend." "That's why he's here." "Moonstone?" "And I know where it is." "And you're bringing me this why?" "Do I need a reason?" "Look, I just want to help, ok?" "What did your sister say about this little discovery?" "Oh, you haven't told her, have you?" "Elena doesn't want me getting involved in all of this." "And you're a Gilbert and you just can't help yourself." "Wow." "Your search for life's purpose is as obvious as it is tragic." "You going to let me in or not?" "Jenna." "Thanks for helping" " Wrangle the volunteers." " Of course." "For a good cause." "Plus, I have always been a sucker for a masquerade ball." "So was Richard." "This was always his favorite party of the year." " Wait, wait, wait, Tyler!" " Boys!" "Be careful with that, it's from the 1800s." " Excuse me." " Tyler!" "Mom, we got it." " Stefan, hey." " Hey." "I'm cooking dinner tonight." "Rick will be there." "You should come." "You know, Elena and I, we're kind of taking a... a pause." " Really?" " Yeah." "'cause that's not what it sounded like this morning." "light sleeper." "You know what, I heard nothing." "You're here." "I'm here." "Caroline's not coming." "I told you." "Just making sure." "You know, eventually you're going to have to talk to her." "Could you make it a little less obvious you're on her side?" "There are no sides, Bonnie." "Oh, come on." "Since caroline became a vampire, we barely see each other." "Losing Caroline was bad enough." "I didn't think I'd lose you, too." "Come with me." "Where?" "Not here." "Some place quiet." "We need to talk." "You didn't eat much." "Good news!" "Dr. Damon said the vervain's almost out of your system." "So with any luck, you'll be freshly compelled and back in your own bed by tonight." "Are you really just going to pretend like I don't exist?" "Yes." "So please go." "As usual, you don't care." "Got it." "Just like before I was a vampire." "It's not like I died or anything." "Are you..." "Are you really dead?" "Yes and no." "How is it possible?" "Rick!" " What are you doing here?" " Helping Damon." "I'm the one who found out about the moon stone." "Does Elena know you're here?" "Not exactly." "What you got?" "Oh, this is Isabelle's research from Duke." "Her assistant sent it to me." "Hmm." "Vanessa, the hottie." "Yeah, vanessa, yes." "Now do you remember the old Aztec curse she told us about?" "Sun and the moon, blah blah blah." " Aztec curse, cool." " Yeah, supposedly vampires and werewolves used to roam freely until a shaman put a curse on them to limit their power." "Since then, werewolves can only turn on a full moon and vampires are weakened by the sun." "Most of them, anyway." "According to the legend, the werewolf part of the curse..." "It's sealed with the moon stone." "What do you mean, sealed?" "It's a witch thing." "Whatever seals the curse, is usually the key to unsealing the curse." "Maybe Mason Lockwood believes he can use the moon stone to break the curse." "If we start believing in some supernatural witchy-woo legend from a picture book, we're idiots." " Who has the stone now?" " Tyler." " Can you get it?" " Yeah." "See, now your life has purpose." "So you do believe it?" "Same book that says a werewolf bite kills a vampire." "Ignoring it would make me an even bigger idiot." "Let's go." "I can't believe this." "It's a lot, I know." "Katherine has been doing everything that she can to drive me and Stefan apart, and Caroline just got trapped in the middle." "It's not that you and Stefan are pretending to fight." "It's that I didn't even know you guys were fighting at all." "I'm sorry." "I don't want to keep things from you, but you've made it pretty clear where you stand with the whole vampire thing." " So that makes me the odd man out." " No." "No, Bonnie, of course not." "I know where I stand, Elena." "And I know where you stand." "But where do we stand?" "You're my best friend, Bonnie." "I didn't mean to let this craziness with Caroline get in the way of that." "But she needs you, too." "Not yet." "I just..." "She's a vampire." "I can't." "I think we should get back." "Hey, Stefan." "Hi, Mason." "Wasn't expecting you here." "Or anywhere." "Yeah, I had this little accident." "But I'm fine now." "What did you do to Sheriff Forbes?" "Oh, she's fine, too." "But from now on, you'll have to do your own dirty work." "Not a problem." "Excuse me." "What's a matter, are you ok?" "When I touched him," "I saw something." "What do you mean, like a vision?" "I saw Elena." "You saw Elena?" "He was kissing her." "No, Bonnie, Elena wouldn't kiss..." "You didn't see Elena, you saw..." "Katherine." "Damon, what are you doing here?" "Looking for my baby bro." "Speaking of, would you tell yours" " to stop following me around?" " What's going on?" "Ask eager beaver." "Jeremy, what is he making you do?" "He's not making me do anything." "Damon and I" "Ah, no." "No way." "No, no, no, no." "There is no Damon and you." "There's Damon and whoever Damon's using." "And those people, they end up dead." "Whatever's going on, Jeremy," "I want you to stay out of it." "I don't really care what you want, Elena." "It's because of you that I'm in this mess in the first place, so, sorry, you don't really get to tell me what I'm going to do." "Katherine's with Mason Lockwood?" "We missed it." "He got into town right after she did." "It makes perfect sense." "I know, but Mason Lockwood?" "!" "Werewolf thing aside, the guy's a surfer." "She's gotta be using him." "She has to be." "Using him for that?" "Mason Lockwood's looking for a moon stone that allegedly can break the full moon werewolf curse." " Maybe Katherine wants it as well." " Why?" "Well..." "No idea." "It's the beauty of Katherine." "She's always up to something." "So how are we going to find this moon stone?" "Jeremy's getting it from Tyler." "Why would you involve Jeremy?" "He's playing Indiana Jones." "He involved himself." "She's this amazing girl one minute and then this raging jealous freak the next." "Look, you know what I think of Caroline Forbes." "She's an insecure, neurotic, bitchy little twit." "Hey!" "But the girl's got heart." "She means well." "Just gotta take the good with the bad sometimes." "Yeah." "I'm gonna go get an extension cord." "I'll be right back." "Hey, man." "Hey." "Hey, so I did a little research on that stone you showed me." "What?" "Why?" "I don't know." "Curiosity, boredom." " What'd it say?" " Well, it turns out that it's part of this Aztec legend, but I want to make sure it's the same kind of stone." "Do you think I could check it out again?" "Nope." "Gave it to my uncle." "Why'd you do that?" "Because I'm done with legends and curses." "I don't want anything to do with it, ok?" "Yeah." "Yeah, sure." "It's probably just stupid folklore anyways." "Forget it." "*" "*" "*" " This is as far as I go." " Ok." " What do you want?" " A favor." "Like that's going to happen." "So predictable." "That's why I brought him." "I know how you feel about helping us out, but since you're the one that linked to Mason with Katherine, we finally have an opportunity to get an upper hand on both of them," " so just hear us out." " Pretty please." "I'm listening." "I have to fill Elena in on what's going on." "Can you play nice please?" "I guess." "Hey, what are you doing?" "You shouldn't be calling me." "I know, but I have no idea what's happening." "Damon's got Jeremy into something, and you've got Bonnie with you, and I'm sorting stupid masquerade masks for Mrs. Lockwood." "All right, it's ok." "Hold on." "All you need to do is talk to Mason Lockwood again, see if he gave Katherine the moon stone." "My visions don't work like that." "I don't get to ask questions." "How inconvenient." "Although, let's talk about that little witchy jr." "thing you do with me." "You know, the fun one where my brain bursts into flames?" "What is that?" "That's me giving you an aneurism." "Your blood vessels go pop." "But you heal quickly, so I do it over and over again." "Is it vampire-specific?" "It'd work on anyone with a supernatural healing ability." "Good." "Good, good." "Damon, I'm not going to help you hurt him." "Mason lockwood's a werewolf." "Katherine's evil." "They're the bad guys." "Really?" "You're going to play morality police with me right now?" "Let me put it to you in another way-- they're a threat to Elena." "So you, witch, are going to get over yourself and help us." "Yeah, he meant that as a question with a "Please" on the end." "Absolutely." "Hey, can you move your van?" "Blocked in." "Hey, how'd you get stuck doing that by yourself?" "All the guys bailed." "Something about draft picks." "I don't know, I don't speak that language." "Here, let me give you a hand." "Sorry." "So I mainly drink from blood bags." "It's not as good as the fresh stuff, but it beats the animal blood that Stefan's been trying to get me to drink." "So you steal the blood from the hospital?" "Damon does." "I've been pilfering his supply, so..." "And as long as you have blood, you don't need to kill?" "I want to." "It's my basic nature now." "But on a healthy diet," "I can control it." "I'm getting better at it." "I'm better than Stefan." "He's a bit of a problem drinker." "A blood-aholic." "I don't want this for you." "I know." "But when life gives you lemons..." "Damon's home." "Here's his bag." "As requested." "Ok, grab that corner." "Why are we doing this?" "Because I don't want to stain the carpet." "I knew you were going to say something like that." "Judging again." "He's not going to be out much longer." "Looks like this guy's used to being tied up." "What are you doing?" "You're looking for a moon stone." "I am trying to help you find it." "Oh, good, yeah." "Find out if he gave it to Katherine, and find out where she is." "And find out what they're going to do with it once they get it." "Somewhere small." "Dark." "There's water." "Like a sewer?" "No." "Like a well?" "That can't be right." "Yeah." "It's a well." "Why would it be in a well?" "I told you," "I only get what I get." "That's it." "That's all I got." "Hey, judgey." "Thank you." "Come on." "Wake up, wolf boy." "Hey!" " Hi..." "How's your mom?" "Elena filled me in on everything." "Um, I'm going to take her home tonight." "Caroline..." "Never mind, I gotta go." "Did you, um, find the moon stone thing?" "Not yet." "Hey, do you remember that old well where we used to play" "When we were kids?" "Yeah." "It's in the woods." "Do you remember where?" "On the edge of the old Lockwood property." "Why?" "I think that's where Mason is keeping the moon stone." "I gotta go." "Well, I can come with you." "No, it's ok." "Sure." "Ok." "Where's Caroline?" "This is like her thing." "I can't believe she's not here." "She had something else to do." "Is she seeing someone?" "Matt, come on." "No, she's not." "Anyone seen Mason?" "He, uh, he took off." "Said he wasn't sure when he'd be back." "So weird." "*" "I'm not even going to ask." "I'll be right back." "Someone's feisty." "What?" "!" "Damn it!" "You can hurt." "Good to know." "I was afraid you were going to be some beast mass with no affinity for pain." "Oh, you heal quickly." "Not good." "Guess I'll just have to keep applying pain." "So..." "Katherine." "How do you know her?" "What's she up to?" "I have all day." "What's going on?" "You shouldn't be here." "I know, but I am." "What's going on?" "Bonnie thinks the moon stone is down here." "Hey." "Be careful." "Only be down there for a minute." " Elena!" " Stefan?" "!" "Elena!" "Stefan, what's happening?" " What's going on in there?" " Vervain!" "Oh, god!" "Help!" "Stefan!" " Stefan!" " Elena!" "Caroline, Stefan's down there," "And the chain is rusted..." "no, no, no!" "You can't." "It's filled with vervain." "Caroline, we've got to get him out!" "Now!" "When did you two meet?" "Did she seduce you, tell you she loved you?" "You're supernatural so she can't compel you." "I'm sure she used her other charms." "Katherine's good that way." "I thought I told you to leave." "I found something in Rick's box of stuff." "What is it?" "Um, I did a search on my phone." "It's a plant." "Aconitum vulparia." "It grows in the mountainous areas of the northern hemisphere, commonly known as aconite, blue rocket and wolfsbane." "What else did you read?" "Well, every source says something different." "One myth says it causes lycanthropy, which sounds bogus." "And the other one says that it protects people, and another one says, well, it's toxic." "I'm guessing toxic." "What's Katherine doing in mystic falls?" " Why is she here?" " She's here with me." "Why do you ask, you jealous?" "How rude of me." "You know, I just realized" "I didn't offer you anything to eat." "Yummy!" "I got you, ok?" " Yeah." " What's going on?" "You just took off in a blur." "I heard Elena screaming." "Help her, now!" " You ready?" " Yeah." " Sorry!" " It's ok, keep going." "Come on!" "Hey!" "Oh!" "Oh, my god!" "Elena, what's going on down there?" "Pull him up!" "Elena?" " Ready for you." " Hold on." "I need to find the stone." "Hurry!" "Hold on!" "I think I found it!" "Elena, what's going on?" "!" "I Got it!" "Come on!" "Bring me up!" "Oh, god." "Stefan!" "I got the stone, Stefan." "Stefan, it's going to be ok." "Everything's going to be ok." " Why do you want the moon stone?" " Screw you!" "Ahhh!" "Wrong answer." "If he was going to say anything, he would already." "I'm taking your eyes now." "The well!" "You'll find it there." "I know where it is." "I want to know what it does and why you want it." " I'm getting it for Katherine." " Why?" "She's going to use it to lift the curse." "Of the moon?" "Now why would a vampire help a werewolf break a curse that keeps them from turning whenever they want?" "So I wouldn't have to turn anymore." "Why?" "Because she loves me." "Now... now I get it." "You're just stupid." "Katherine doesn't love you." "She's using you, you moron." "I'm done talking." "Yes, you are." "Time to take a walk, Jeremy." " I'm staying." " No, you should go." "I'm staying, Damon, he's had enough." "Just help Tyler." "Don't let this happen to him." "Damon..." "You wanted to be a part of this?" "Well, here it is." "Kill or be killed." "The guy's a werewolf." "He'd kill me the first chance he got!" "So you suck it up, or leave." "He wants me to kill him, anyway." "Don't you, Mason?" "It really is a curse, isn't it?" "You know, I look at you and I see myself." "A less dashing, less intelligent version." " I love her." " Oh, I know!" "I've been where you are." "But Katherine will only rip your heart out." "Let me do it for her." "You're pretty hand with that thing." "Yeah, well, it's a skill." "Here." "Hmm." "Where's the, um, the sea salt?" "Table." "So I pulled Stefan out of this well," "And he's all vervained and just rotted." "But Bonnie wasn't mean to me once," "And I just--I really think it's progress, you know?" "I just-- what?" "I'm freaking you out." "It's just that you've become this person" "Don't-- don't." "I..." "I'm just starting to get along." "This strong, this confident person." "Thank you." "You don't have to take my memories away." "I'll keep your secret." "Look, if you're worried about them," "Just say you compelled me." "I won't tell." "I'll never do anything to hurt you." "We never talk like this." "Ever." " And today meant so much to me." " Me, too." "I know." "I know I can trust you." "But you're never going to trust them." "I'm going to take you home." "You're going to forget that I'm a vampire." "I'm going to forget that you're a vampire." "You'll remember you got sick with the flu." "You had a fever." "Chills, and..." "Ickiness." "And I made you soup." "And it was really salty." "And we bickered." "You got better." "And then your selfish little daughter" "Who loves you no matter what" "Went right back to ignoring you." "And all is right in the world." " All this for that?" " Yep." "I see you've exercised your usual restraint." "Had to be done." ""Carol..." ""Big opportunity in Florida," ""Gonna be gone..." "For a long time." ""I'll send for my things" ""Once I get settled." "Much love, Mason."" "Let's get rid of the body." "Last number dialed." "I wonder who that could possible be." "No, no, no, don't provoke her." "Mason." "You should have been here an hour ago." "Wrong boy toy." "Damon." "For once you've surprised me." "I assume Mason's with you." "He's right beside me." "Although his heart's across the room." "You shouldn't have." "I've had a very busy day today." "Killed a werewolf, found a moon stone." "Hey, did you know that he hid the moon stone" "In a bottom of a well full of vervain?" "Guess he didn't trust you very much." "He did love you." "Poor guy." "Hey, where are you, 'cause, you know," "I could bring him over." "Last good-byes and all that." "You have no idea what you've just done." "Aww, did I put a kink in your master plan?" "I'm so sorry." "Do you honestly believe that I don't have a plan b?" "And if that fails, a plan c," "Then a plan d, and-- you know how the alphabet works," "Don't you?" "Send my love to Stefan." "Where's Jeremy?" "Oh, he went straight up to his room." "He said he wasn't hungry." "Who's she talking to?" "I don't know." "Everything go ok today?" "There were a few hiccups, but yeah." "Of course, I understand." "Elena, it's for you." "Who is it?" "Hello?" "Hello, Elena." "Katherine." "Did you enjoy your little rendezvous with Stefan this morning?" "I will always know, Elena." "I will always be one step ahead of you." "When are you going to figure that out?" "Do you know how easy it was to get inside of your house?" "To replace Aunt Jenna's vervain perfume, to convince her to stop drinking her special tea." " No." " Jenna's been my little spy for days now." "But unlike you," "Jenna actually listens to me." "So when I suggested that the world would be a much better place" " if she were to just..." " Jenna, no!" "Jenna." "Jenna." "Well..." "You get the idea." "Hey, is she ok?" "The doctors told Alaric that she got lucky." "She's going to make it." "She's going to be ok." "Does she remember what happened?" "No, nothing." "It's all part of Katherine's mind compulsion." "Why would Katherine hurt Jenna?" "Because she's trying to send a message that she could get to anybody." "Hey, hey, hey, come here." "It's gonna be ok." "No, it's not." "She's going to pay, Elena." "I don't know how, but she's going to pay." " It looks good." " Thanks." "It was nice to see Matt today." "He hasn't been around for a while." "We've both been busy, I guess." "Have you seen Mason?" "The guy's been awol all day." "Actually, Tyler," "Mason headed back to Florida." " What?" "!" " I'm sorry, honey." "I know how much you two hit it off." "So he just left." "I was hoping he'd stick around." "I thought that with your dad gone, that..." "Anyway, he's gone." "So I guess it's just you and me now." "I'm so sorry." "We were stupid." "Sneaking around, thinking that we weren't going to get caught." "I know." "We did this." "Stefan, Jenna's in the hospital," "And Jeremy could be next." "All because we didn't... we didn't listen to her." "Because we're together." " Stefan..." " I know what you're going to say." "Then let me say it." "I've been so selfish because I love you so much." "And I know how much you love me." "But it's over." "Stefan, it has to be." "Elena, I don't..." "No, Stefan." "It has to be." "Elena..." "I riled Katherine up." "I..." "I wasn't thinking." "I didn't think." "It doesn't matter, Damon." "She won." "Katherine won." "I apologize if I seem rattled." "The circumstances have changed suddenly," "And I had to adjust." "Mind control is a necessary evil." "You see, I need a werewolf, and I've lost the one that I had." "Now tell me what you're going to do to help me get a new one." "I'm going to go after Tyler Lockwood." "And you're not going to stop." "And I'm not going to stop." "Until?" "Until he kills me."
