"Previously on "The Vampire Diaries"..." " You must be Elena." " How do we look exactly alike?" "You're a Petrova doppelganger." "You're the key to breaking the curse." " The Sun and the Moon curse?" " Klaus is the real deal." "From the first generation of vampires." "The oldest vampire in the history of time is coming after me?" " Elijah." " One of the Originals." " He's a legend." " Aah!" "So that's it." "As long as we keep the dagger in there, then he stays dead." "Elijah had no weapon to kill Klaus." "But he believed that if a witch could channel enough power, it wouldn't need one." "Like the power you get from a spot marked with a hundred dead witches." "Says if you use too much of your powers at once, it'll kill you." "How much would it take to kill an Original?" "All of it." "I'm a vampire." " I don't want to know this!" " Tell me what I can do." "I drank that vervain stuff and then asked her to take it away." "I want you to tell me everything she said." "I found my way to someone in his trusted circle." "One of Klaus' witches." "He's all yours." "I have Katherine and the moonstone." "Klaus has everything he needs for now." "Alaric?" "Katerina, I've missed you." "Klaus!" "Ok, bad, or badder?" "The dark colors suit you better." "Oh, thank you, honey." "Ok, pop quiz." "The dagger and white ash are in the Salvatores possession, correct?" "The dagger was used to kill Elijah." "You'll find him in the basement of the Salvatore house." "Ok, that dagger needs to stay exactly where it is." "The last thing I need to do is resurrect Elijah." "Ohh, that guy is a buzz kill." "Don't forget you're on the outs with your girlfriend Jenna." "Right." "Elena's aunt." "For all the lies about Isobel." " What else?" " That's it." "Oh, so jumpy." "Please, just... kill me." "I've told you everything that I know." "Hmm." "You see, I believe that you believe that." "But what would you not know?" "What could they be keeping from you?" "Hmm?" "Anything?" "Tell me." "They were trying to see if Bonnie could find a way to kill an Original without a dagger." "Bonnie the best friend?" "And then you said she didn't have her powers anymore." "She doesn't." "Or didn't." "I don't know." "You kidnapped me, remember?" "I'm kinda out of the loop." "Well, we'll have to get to the bottom of that." "Please, just kill me, Klaus, and be done with it." "And show you kindness?" "I've searched for you for over 500 years." "Your death is going to last at least half that long." "I want you to take this knife..." "And stab yourself." "Now take it out." "Ahhh!" "Now while I'm gone, I want you to do that over and over and over again." "And if you get bored, switch legs." "Where are you going?" "I'm gonna go lay eyes on my precious doppelganger." "Oh, don't look so glum, Katerina." "The fun is just beginning." "Again, please." "Please sign here and here." "Ok." "So this place is all yours?" "They just gave it to you?" "For now." "As sole owner, I'm the only one who can invite a certain type of person in here, if you know what I mean." "Your own personal safe house." "That's the idea." "Wouldn't want to clean it." "You really think Bonnie can take on Klaus?" "She said she could channel enough witch's power to kill him." "Elijah thought that would work and he was an Original, so." " We just need to find him." " Yeah." "Could she do one of those witch tracking spells?" "Nope." "Not without something that belongs to Klaus." "Believe me, I already asked." "Ohh." "Do you think he killed her?" "Katherine?" "Probably." "It's not like she didn't have it coming." "Yeah." "Thank you, Mr. Henry." "I'm sorry." "I completely forgot." "Stefan." "Would you like to come inside my house?" "I would love to." "Thank you." "What are we, 12?" "One of us is." "If I let you in, do you promise to obey the owner of this house?" " No." " Seriously, Damon." "My way." "You promised." "I call the shots." "No lies, no secret agendas." "Remember?" "Yes, Elena." "Sure." "Then please, come in." "Shut up." "Thanks." " Wait, where are you going?" " To school." "Huh?" "No, no, no." "We didn't create a safe house for you to leave it." "Yeah, guys, Klaus is out there." " We know that." " Right." " But where?" " No one knows." "Look, I really appreciate what you guys are doing." "And I'll be able to sleep at night knowing that I'll be safe here, but I'm not going to be a prisoner." "Your way, Elena." "Don't worry, I'm ready." "If he shows his face, I can take him." "Know how." "The way I see it, next to Bonnie is the safest place that I can be." "Come on." "Wait, um, coming." "Caroline left early for school." "I know." "I came to see you." "I don't know what to do." "What to say, how to act around her." "You can't let on that you know." "She wants me to take her to the dance." "What am I supposed to do?" "Take her to the dance." "I'll never get away with it." "She knows me too well, she'll figure it out." "Damn it, Matt, just do it." "She's my daughter." "She's my baby." "I just," "I need some time." "I know, but..." "Look, if what Caroline told you is true, she's not the only one." "The Salvatores are vampires." "The Gilbert family is in on it." "Tyler Lockwood is God knows what." "A werewolf." "There's no one in this town I can trust." "I just need to take a beat and figure out what to do." " That'll never fool her." " Yes, you will." "As far as she knows, you don't remember anything." "Buy me some time." "Please, Matt." "Hello, class." "Ahem." "What..." "Are we learning today?" "With the decade dance tonight, we've been covering the sixties all week." "Right." "The sixties." "The, uh, ahem..." "The sixties." "I wish there was something good" "I could say about the sixties, but..." "Actually, they kind of sucked." "Except for the Beatles, of course." "They made it bearable." "Uh, what else was there?" "The Cuban missile thing, the... we walked on the moon." "There was Watergate." "Watergate was the seventies, Ric." "I-I mean, Mr. Saltzman." "Right." "It all kind of mushes together up here, the sixties, seventies." "Thank you, Elena." "Hey, Dana." "Hey." "Um, can you take care of these?" "Sure." "Ok, thank you." "Hey." "What was that for?" "Just practicing for tonight." "Oh." "Mmm." "So I... found a suit." "If you still want me to be JFK." "Perfect." "Do you think Elena knows what it's going to take for you to do that Klaus spell?" "No, and you're not, either." "Well, she's gotta know you can't do it." "You don't know I can't." "Have a little faith in me." "That's not fair." "You can't harness the power of a hundred dead witches." "It'll kill you." "Shh!" "We don't know that for certain." "You promised to keep my secret, I'm trusting you." "I'm going through with this, and if you tell anyone, I swear... what?" "What are you gonna do?" "Hey, Jer." "How you doing?" "Are you ok at the house alone with John?" "It's not ideal." "You haven't heard from Jenna, have you?" "It looks like she's staying on campus instead of coming home." "I'm late for class." "What's going on?" "I told him he had to dress up tonight and he got all uptight." "Oh." "Hey, Elena, there you are." "Ok." "This is going to sound freaky, but this totally hot guy just asked me to ask you if you're going to the dance tonight." "Tell him she has a boyfriend." "You could at least meet him." "He'll be at the dance tonight." "Look for him." "His name is Klaus." "I'm sorry, what did you just say?" "His name's Klaus." "I know the name's stupid, but I swear he's hot." "Where is he?" "Is he here?" "I don't know." "She's being compelled." "But he wants to know if you'll save him the last dance." "How cute is that?" "So we go to the dance, we find him." "Really?" "How are we going to do that?" "We don't even know what he looks like." "Something tells me he's not going to be 16 and pimply." "He could be anywhere at any time." "He compelled somebody at school." "I guess it's not as safe as you guys thought, huh?" "There you are." "Sorry I'm late." "Hey, I need you to put me down as a chaperone at the dance tonight." "Klaus made his first move." "Ok, so we find him and then what, hmm?" " What's our plan of attack?" " Me." "I'm the plan." "He has no idea how much power I can channel." "If you can find him, I can kill him." "That's not going to be that easy." "I mean, he is the biggest, baddest vampire around." "Alaric has a point." "I mean, what if he..." "Well, I was impressed." "It doesn't matter if he's an Original." "I can take down anyone who comes at me." "I can kill him, Elena." "I know I can." "Ah, you're right." "This witch is all juiced up and aiming to kill." "That's terrible." "We're gonna have to kill her, Maddox." "Do you think this Alaric guy has anything vintage?" "Crossbows, wooden bullets and automatics?" "Who is this guy, again?" "He's the local vampire hunter." "Ahh." "Well, that explains the clothes." "All I could find." "Guy likes his bourbon." "I knew there was something about him I liked." "Ahh." "There's a high school dance and I'm gonna need you to take out the witch bitch." "If she has that much power, she can sense me coming from a mile away." "I won't be able to get near her." "You have to do it." "In this body?" "I'm a Haggard history teacher." "She can easily hurt me." "I mean, not me, Klaus me, but you know what I mean." "No witch could handle channeling that much power." "It'll kill her." "It would kill me." "You just have to make her use it." "You mean like provoking her to death?" "Won't take long." "Just keep attacking her until it kills her." "His body, Alaric's, will last longer than hers will." "How?" "He's human." "I can help in that department." "I can do a spell to protect you." "There you are!" "You almost missed me." "How do I look?" "Jackie O?" "Duh." "You look good." "Thanks." "Is everything ok?" "Ughh, just some work stress." "Well, you work too much." "Mr. President." " Hey." " Hi." "Sheriff." " Sorry." " Have fun." "We will." "Bye." "Bye." "Your relatives were such packrats." "Ok, so what do you think?" "Twiggy or sexy hippy?" "Ooh." "You know it's not too late to back out, right?" "And what, miss out on all the fun?" "Hey." "All this time spent worrying about Klaus." "I think I convinced myself that he's not real." "But he is." "And tonight, we will put an end to him." "I love you." "I want you to tell me that when the night's over." "Any time tonight." "Nice outfit, Mr. Saltzman." "Totally far out." "Thank you, Dana." "Thank you." "Now who is your date?" "It's Chad, Mr. Saltzman, from third period." "Chad, of course." "How would you and your friends like to earn a little extra credit?" "Wait." "Look, I, um, I want you to have this." "If you're asking me to go steady, I think that was the fifties." "No, I'm serious, Bonnie." "The ring won't work on me, Jeremy." "But it was made by a witch." "To protect from the supernatural, not for someone who is." "Well, I have to do something." "I can't just..." "I can't just let you get yourself killed." "Just because a bunch of dead witches gave me a warning doesn't mean I'm going to die." "So you're saying there's a 50-50 shot you won't?" "Look, I'm sorry." "But... you know I don't have the best luck in the girlfriend department." "Hey." "Listen, I..." "I can't explain it." "But I can feel them." "I'm empowered, Jeremy, I can do this." "I know I can." "I'm strong enough." "Damon." "Evenin'." "Bonnie." "Oh, you look nice." "You, too." "You guys ready to do this?" "Thanks for being here, everybody." "We have a special shout-out tonight." "This is for Elena." "From Klaus." "♪ This is dedicated to my love ♪" "♪ this is dedicated to my love ♪" "♪ this is dedicated ♪" "That was a lame, cheap shot." "He's just trying to bait us." "I know everyone here." "Maybe he's not here." "Just wants us to believe that he is." "It's a party, people." "Blend." "Let him come to us." "Good idea." "No, no, I really don't feel like dancing." "Too bad." "There's Ric." "I'll be back." "Special dedication, huh?" "This guy's a little twisted." " I'm not impressed." " No?" "I mean, obviously he didn't do anything out of whack." "Oh." "Caroline's here." "They don't know what's going on." " We have to tell her." " I'm on it." "How you doing?" "Um, freaking out a bit?" "You?" "Cool as a cucumber." "Come on, remember the last decade dance?" "The vampires were all, "ahh!"" "And you were all, "aahh!"" "Right." "And you won." "Yes!" "We did." "You're good at this." "I've got moves you've never seen." "Dance with me." "I'm a really bad dancer." "I know better than that." "What?" "You look really pretty tonight." "Hey, guys." "Hey, man, what's up?" "Hey." "Do you mind if I steal your date for a moment?" "No, not all." "I'll get us something to drink." "Thanks." "Hey." "What's wrong?" "Klaus is here." "What?" "!" "Yeah." "Where?" "We have no idea." "But keep your eye out for anything that might be weird, ok?" "May I?" "You heard Jeremy and me talking, didn't you?" " Is it true?" " Yes." "The part about you having a 50-50 shot of surviving?" "Is that true?" "He was upset." "I didn't want him to worry." "So you lay it out on the line for Elena, no matter what." "No matter what." " Good." " You can't tell her." "Your secret's safe with me, but I mean..." "With all that power, isn't there a way to increase your odds?" "Careful, Damon." "I might start to think you actually care." "We wouldn't want that." "What are they up to?" "Who knows?" "Is there something going on, Jer?" "You ok?" "Fine." "I'm fine." "Hey." "Everything all right?" "I'm not sure." "Jeremy." "What are you doing?" "Elena thinks we should stick together." "Yeah, I'm fine." "I've got my ring." "It's... it's Bonnie." "What is it?" "Hey, you got something on your mind, spit it out." "If Bonnie takes on Klaus, channeling all that energy's going to kill her." "What?" "But she doesn't want Elena to know, 'cause if Elena knows, she's gonna try to stop her." "And it's Elena that could turn up dead, so..." "What am I supposed to do?" "I need to talk to you." "Come here, come here, come here." "Please tell me you didn't know that" "Bonnie was on a suicide mission." "Oh, great." "Jeremy told you" " and of course you told Elena." " Yeah, I told her." "You promised her no more secrets." "I changed my mind." "How could you not tell me?" " 'Cause I knew how'd you react." " No." " No way, it's not an option." " It's our only option." "Then we'll find another way, ok?" "Bonnie, you're not dying to save my life." "I have the power to save you!" "If I don't use it and something happens," " that would kill me more." " I can't let you." "Just answer one question... if the situation was reversed," "would you do it for me?" "So you know why I have to." "No." "No!" "What's going on, guys?" "You ok, Gilbert?" "You don't look so good." "Dude, seriously?" "Wrong day, wrong guy." "Hey!" "Aaah!" "Let me guess..." "Klaus says hi." "No, no, no, no, don't kill him." "He's compelled." " So?" " So, the whole thing's a distraction." "Go find Bonnie and Elena." "I got this." "Go." "Elena!" " What is it?" " He has Jeremy." " What?" " What?" "!" "Yeah, Klaus has Jeremy." "Come on." "Ok, so where are you taking us?" "Just a little further." "What..." "Something's not right." "Where's Jeremy?" "I just had to get away from that dance." "The sixties, uchh." "Not my decade." "I mean, whose call was that, anyway?" "I much prefer the twenties." "The style, the parties, the jazz." "Alaric." "Are you on vervain?" "Now why would you ask me that question, Elena?" "He's being compelled." "Nope." "Try again." "What's going on?" "Ok, I'll give you a hint." "I am not Alaric." "Klaus." "Surprise!" "Oh, no." "No, it's not possible." "Just relax, Elena." "I'm not here to hurt you." "You're not on my hit list tonight." "But you are." "Now, did I mention that I knew a witch?" "You're gonna have to hit me a lot harder than that." "By all means..." "Fire away!" "If you kill this body," "I'll just get a new one." "Maybe Jeremy." "Go." "Run." "Run!" "What happened?" " Klaus is in Alaric's body." " What?" "He's possessing it or something." "Go find Stefan." "Now." " Ok." " Now." "Can you kill him?" "He's got some kind of protection spell." "You have the power of a hundred witches." "Break it." "I'm trying!" "If I kill Alaric, he'll just possess someone else." "He knows I have my power, Damon." "He's trying to kill me." "No." "Klaus does not get to win tonight, no way." "You still willing to do whatever it takes to kill him?" "Hey!" "Are you ok?" "Um..." "Yeah." "I'm just..." "I'm looking for Stefan." "Seriously, what's wrong?" "Uh, just, um, stay with Matt, ok?" "What was that about?" "Oh, you know, just same old drama." "What took you so long?" "Now, do you want to do this the easy way or the hard way?" "Oww!" "The hard way." "Got it." "What?" "You'd kill your favorite history teacher?" "It's what Alaric would want." "And he'd want you to suffer first." "Look at you." "Is that all you got?" "Let's find out." "There you are." "What are you doing?" "Where's Bonnie?" "She's doing what she has to do." " What?" "!" " Where is she?" " Stefan, let her do this." " Damn it, Damon, where is she?" "!" "Bonnie, no!" "No!" "Oh!" "Bonnie!" "Bonnie, Bonnie!" "Bonnie, Bonnie, hey, hey!" "Stefan, she's not breathing!" "Stefan!" "Stefan, I can't find her pulse!" "Stefan!" "Do something, please!" "Stefan, please!" "Just give her blood, do something, please!" "It's too late." "I'm sorry." "No!" "No." "No, no, no, no, no!" "Bonnie!" "Bonnie, please, no!" "No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no!" "Stefan, get Elena out of here." "I'll deal with this." "What do you mean, deal with this?" "The sheriff can't know about this." "Last thing we need's another mysterious death." "This is Bonnie!" "Get her home." "Now." "Klaus." "Hey, hey, hey." " Hey." " No." "Jeremy." "Oh, my God, Jeremy." "What about Jeremy?" " I'll find him." " No!" "Damon!" "Hey, I got your message, I can't find anyone." "Where's Elena, where's Bonnie?" "We need to have a little talk." "Hey." "Here, drink this." "I can't." "Yeah." "Yeah, you can." "Please drink this." "This is my fault." "No, no, no, no, no." "No." "Hey." "This was Klaus." "Listen to me." "Klaus did this." "What did you do with her?" "!" "Will you please calm her down?" "Don't talk like I'm not standing right in front of you." " Please calm down." " You knew!" "Didn't you?" "You knew that if she harnessed all that power," " that she would die, didn't you?" " Yes." "Yes, I knew." "Guhh!" "You need to listen to me, and prepare for what I'm about to say." "Bonnie had to die." "Klaus using Alaric's body was a total surprise." "She wasn't prepared for that." "And he wasn't going to stop, and we weren't going to be able to stop him until he knew she was dead." "He had to believe it." "Hey!" "Hey!" "Hey!" "She cast a spell." "She's alive, Elena." "Bonnie's ok." "You know, you could have told me." "How do I know when you're going to go blabbing things to your girlfriend." "You even understand what you put her through?" "See, that's why I didn't tell you." "'Cause you would have never been able to do it." "Don't get me wrong, Stefan." "I don't mind being the bad guy." "I'll make all the life and death decisions while you're busy worrying about collateral damage." "I'll even let her hate me for it." "But at the end of the day," "I'll be the one to keep her alive." "You sure it's safe here?" "Yeah, I'm sure." "What is that?" "It is MiFi." "If we're gonna be stuck here, then we might as well have Internet." "You don't have to stay down here with me." "Hey, look, I'm not letting you out of my sight." "I..." "I need you to talk to Elena for me." "Tell her how sorry I am for what Damon and I had to do." "Well, um..." "Why don't you tell her yourself?" "Bonnie!" "Please." "Elena, I'm so sorry." "It's ok, it's ok." "I just needed to see your face now." "There wasn't enough time for me to tell you." "It's ok, seriously." "Damon explained it all to me." "Ugh." "Look." "Klaus had to think she was dead." "Your reaction had to be real." "I understand why you did what you did." "Klaus was fooled, and Bonnie's alive." "Here's to duplicity." "But let's get one thing straight, Damon." "Bonnie will not die for me, I will not let that happen." "We need to kill Klaus, Elena." "Real Klaus." "Who will probably be coming to pay you a visit soon now that he knows that Bonnie is dead." "She's the only one who can do it." "We'll find another way." "I hope so." "Look, I shouldn't have hit you." "Apology accepted." "Let me be clear about something." "If it comes down to you and the witch again, I will gladly let Bonnie die." "I will always choose you." "Good night, Damon." "Good night."
