"Previously on "the Vampire Diaries"..." "Klaus:" "The only thing stronger than your craving for blood is your love for this one girl." "Turn it off." "No!" "Turn it off!" " What did you do?" " I fixed him." "Klaus is gone." "He's asked me to keep watch on you until he returns." "you're under my protection." "It's kind of a push and pull. if you pull... stop dodging my calls." "Why are you thinking about me when you're calling her?" "I don't think I can stop thinking about you." " Who's the guy with Carol?" " Mason Lockwood." "Mason Lockwood is a werewolf." "He'd kill me the first chance he got." "[Groaning]" "This is going to be fun." "[Groaning] you got to be kidding me." "[Groaning] doesn't it?" "Stefan!" "[Groaning]" "Stefan." "Low blow." "[Chuckles] What the hell happened to you? leave me out of it." "I didn't do this." "Quit screwin' around!" " I didn't." " Ahh." "isn't it?" "Yep." "Aaahhh!" "Ahhh. not to worry." "I'll just untangle myself." "[Groaning]" "[Screaming and groaning]" "[Music playing] I am especially proud to be kicking off this day of festivities." "volunteers." "we turn off our town's lights and flare up our lanterns in honor of the night of illumination started by our founders 150 years ago." "Here's founding family member Tobias fell with a history lesson." "[Applause] What are we doing here?" "Tobias fell is the head of the history department." "I didn't have a choice." "that explains what you're doing here." "I'm the one who can fail you if you don't help me out." "sorry I'm late." "What did I miss?" "Just a bunch of historical lies." "You didn't miss anything." "The first illumination was held in celebration with the new found prosperity that Mystic Falls enjoyed after the war." "After the founders stole from all the vampires." "What's so funny?" "To indicate that it was safe for their neighbors to come outside again." "Safe from the vampires. too?" "I wish." "All I did was block the magic that was helping" "Vicki get a physical foothold here. she's still here." "you don't think I can actually resist commenting on that." "There." "You commented." "[Scoffs] Bonnie..." "Caroline? and now I'm paying the consequences." "I want you to say you're not ok with it." "I'm a thousand times not ok with it." "I just don't know what to do about it." "[Vehicle approaching] blondie." "Witchy." "I think you got your voodoo wires all crossed when you got rid of Vicki Donovan." "why?" "Because I'm pretty sure I just got spit-roasted by Mason Lockwood's ghost." "What?" "And why would you think that?" "Maybe because he chained me to a chair and shoved a hot poker in my chest." "Let's just say I'm having deja vu." "I thought you said that ghosts couldn't physically interact with people." "I don't have time for a vengeful Lockwood." "they're supposed to stay dead." "fix it." "I need you to help me with something." "Jeremy:" "What's up?" "I've been going through Stefan's old journals. his best friend Lexi's been the one to bring him back." "So where is she now that we need her?" "She's dead." "don't you?" "maybe I could help him." "I don't even know if she's on the other side." "Is that what it's called?" "That's what Anna calls it." "There's not like an official brochure or anything." "like some sort of supernatural purgatory? only we can't see her or hear her." "And she can't interact with anyone." "She's all alone." "Vicki could interact." "She blew up my car." "Vicki had help from a witch on the other side." "Anna..." "She's doing this all by herself." "maybe we learned our lesson about summoning dead people." "I swear." "I sent her back like you told me to." "Are you sure?" "Because she has just as much reason to haunt Damon as Mason Lockwood does." "I'd know it." "Why do you think it's Vicki and not Mason?" "Because if any ghost other than Vicki Donovan then that means Damon's right and something really wrong." "I've had enough of this ghost stuff to last forever." "So you guys can leave me out of this one." "I feel so sad for him." "It took a lot for him to send his sister away." "[Sighs] Yeah." "So much strength as a man." "Caroline." "Save the Jeremy lecture for later." "[Sighs] did your grimoire just..." "I think so." "please tell me that's a recipe for witch cookies." "It's a manifestation spell." "It's used to reveal veiled matter." "What's veiled matter?" "Ghosts." "Do you think it's even possible to contact Lexi?" "I don't know." "I didn't have an emotional connection with her." "please?" "Ric." "I don't know what else to do." "Don't you think we have a few too many dead vampires in our past to be sitting here thinking of them watching us?" "I don't think all supernatural spirits go to the other side." "I think some of them find peace." "Is Anna here right now?" "Don't tell her I'm here." "She won't like it." "check my work schedule." "guys." "Who forgot to invite me to the family summit?" "Hmm?" "[Sighs]" "Wow." "All these words." "I forgot how much I used to care." "I didn't." "it's probably best you not torture yourself with memories from the past." "It's best we both just move on and accept things as they are." "Stefan." "you're right." "I don't." "and I look out for Elena." "there's going to be people everywhere tonight." "So there's going to be lots to eat." "I'm kidding." "Loosen up." "[Sighs]" "Ric." "So this is where you brought Jeremy back to life." "Yeah. but we needed a private place around here to do the spell." "Hmm." "There's no chance it's haunted by the hundred dead witches who were horrifically burned to death is there?" "They're not here anymore." "And they made it clear they were never coming back." "Right." "A pinkie swear?" "What's wrong?" "Why did you tell me to lie?" "Elena is Bonnie's best friend." "She won't like what's going on between us." "[Scoffs] What is going on between us?" "how are we able to touch?" "Vicki had to use magic to do that." "I have no idea. is she helping you now?" "What?" "No!" "I told you that." "Swear to me." "I swear." "I promise." "Hey." "I need you to believe me." "I shouldn't even be talking to you." "This is not ok." "Then send me away." "I'm only here because you want to be with me as much as I want to be with you." "Jeremy." "It's that easy." "I don't know why this is happening or when it's going to stop." "But before it's done..." "I have to do this." "[Sighs] Ready?" "Do you need me to do..." "[Chanting in latin]" "Right." "Ok." "[Exhales]" "[Chanting continues]" "I'll grab Jeremy." "I'll be right back." "thanks." "come on." "Have a drink with me." "We've got trouble." "we're not a team." "You tried to kill me." "All right?" "We're not friends." " I don't like you anymore." " Ah!" "But remember back when you liked me and we conspired to kill Uncle werewolf Mason Lockwood?" "and?" "I think he's still a little pissed." "[Chanting in latin]" "I don't like this." "[Chanting continues]" "Bonnie..." "[Wind blowing]" "my God." "Is that your..." "Grams." "Anna?" "Lexi." "I miss whisky." "Ahh!" "Ow." "Told ya." "Hi." "so are you." "Then how the hell can I see..." "I have no idea. so let's get right to the point." "You're off the rails." "Big time. ok?" "Now what kind of a friend would I be if I didn't help you out of this mess you're in?" "I don't want your help." "you say that every time." "leave me alone." "maybe you should listen this time." "Or maybe I should do this." "[Bonnie crying]" "I can't believe you're here!" "we don't have time for tears." "Caroline." "miss Sheila." "honey." "The witches told you there'd be consequences to bringing Jeremy back and you did it anyway." "I didn't have a choice." "I love him and I..." "I couldn't just let him go." "I understand." "But you cracked open the door to the other side." "There's an old witch over here." "She took advantage of it." "honey. she wedged the door wide open." "Giving a free pass to anybody with unfinished business." " How do you know this?" " Witches talk." "Even on the other side." "Who do you think makes all the rules?" "What does the witch want?" "not yours." "I don't want you getting in the middle of that." "I'm here because you upset the balance of nature." "And it's your duty to set it right." "You need to close that door." "How do we do that?" "Apparently the old witch can draw power from this side because of her talisman." "Talisman..." "My necklace?" "It's some ju ju power source. but Bonnie needs to destroy it." "[Sighs] I just walked in on Jeremy kissing the reason" "I'm completely ok with that." "What?" "!" "Are you kidding?" "I don't have the necklace." "Damon has it somewhere." "Text him." "I'll call you right back." " Elena..." " You need to disappear or evaporate or whatever it is that you ghosts do." "it's not her fault." "it's yours." "How did this happen?" "I don't know." "Ok?" "I don't know." "It just... it did." "please." "You can't tell Bonnie." "[Sighs] Don't worry." "I'm going to let you do that." "Right after I help her send the ghosts away." "Elena." " Lexi?" " Mm-hmm." "Come with me." "Where?" "Ripper detox 101." "Crash course." "I... did you not just say how desperate you were for my help in saving Stefan's life?" "Let's go." "I am never going to hear the end of that damn necklace." "right?" "Cheers." "Let's get to it." "I killed you." "You want revenge." "Get in line." "I want an apology." "[Laughs]" "Good luck with that." "Don't you have a family to haunt?" "You know your nephew has turned into a mindless hybrid Minion." "That's why I'm here." "To help Tyler. but Tyler can't be helped." "At least not while Klaus is alive." "always." "Not necessarily." "Not if you found a weapon that could kill him." "There is no weapon that..." "What do you know?" "I know you need to apologize." "You got to be kidding me." "Are you incapable of remorse?" "Just apologize!" "You're right." "I didn't have to kill you." "I do a lot of things I don't have to do." "[Laughs]" "That's good enough." "Meet me at the old Lockwood cellar." "Bring a shovel." "And come alone." "you're going to bury me alive?" "Don't tempt me." "[Music playing]" "[Indistinct chatter]" "huh?" "He compelled him to turn off his humanity." "we're just going to have to convince him to turn it back on." "it's not going to be pretty." "I can handle it." "sleepyhead." "How you feelin'?" "[Chuckles] What is this?" " Let me out of here!" " Shh." "please." "I'm trying to get inside your head." "[Chuckles] Elena." "please." "No." "drying him out." "Starve away the blood lust." "Strip away the temptation." "Lexi." "You can't do this." "You heard the not pretty part?" "I heard you." "What are you doing?" "[Gasping]" "[Groaning]" "Lexi?" "!" "sweetness." "I'm saving your life." "[Grunting and groaning]" "I'm surprised you showed." "You put a snag in my only other Klaus lead." "So I'd say I'm highly motivated." " Mikael?" " Yeah." "did it?" "How do you know so much?" "There's not much to do on the other side but sit around and watch other people screw things up." "What are we looking for?" "There's an old Lockwood family legend about a weapon that can kill an original vampire. they kept it buried." "give me the thing." "Move." "I got it." "[Grunts]" "Mason:" "Go for it." "You first." "you think I'm leading you into a trap?" "The thought crossed my mind." "[Groaning] I'm starving." "I'm starving." "I'm starving!" "Let me out!" "Let me out." "Please let me out." " What's happening?" " He's hallucinating." "That's three months without any blood." " Let me out!" " Now he's at nine months." "[Groans] Two years..." "Five." "Did I ever tell you how glad I am that you're dead?" "friend." "[Cell phone rings]" "[Ring]" "[Stefan groaning] Hello?" "So the necklace isn't where Damon said it would be and now we can't reach Damon." "I need you to get Bonnie to hold off on sending the ghosts back." "What?" "!" "But you said you were in full support of getting rid of them." "I was." "Lexi's here and she's helping with Stefan." "let's just find it first and then we'll choose between boyfriend ghost dramas." "What are you talking about? so Elena wants us to hold off on destroying the necklace." "You said boyfriend dramas." "Plural." "Caroline?" "Elena caught Jeremy kissing Anna." "What?" "I'm sorry." "He kissed her? so she probably thinks that she's here to stay." "we're going to find that necklace." "Ok?" "Ok." "Jeremy:" "Anna!" "Anna." "Sorry." "Anna!" "man sorry about that." "buddy." "Have you seen Tobias Fell?" "He's supposed to do the lighting ceremony." "No." "well." " Frederick?" " If it isn't pearl's daughter." "Little Annabelle." "ladies and gentlemen. so the history department's very own Mr. Saltzman has agreed to fill in." "[Applause]" "Anna!" "huh?" "I guess you forgot the fact that his family killed you and your mother." "There you are." "Is everything all right?" "Ask your ancestors." "Frederick?" "it's a founder's celebration." "And we..." "Have got some unfinished business with the founding families. let's light 'em up." "[Cheers and applause]" "[Woman screaming]" "[All yelling]" "[Gasping]" "Elena." "I'm hurting." "Please help me." "Don't listen." "Shut him out." "Stefan." "I'll do anything." "I'll change." "I promise." "It's a lie." "He'll say anything right now." "I'm sorry." "I'm sorry." "Just make it stop." "just make it stop." "You have to separate yourself from your emotions." "Don't let him play with them." "look at me." "Look at me." "ok?" "I love you." "I love you so much." "Elena." "I just don't believe you." "You know what?" "anyway." "I wish I'd never met you." "Every single moment that I've spent with you has been a complete and total waste." "You see that?" "That's the ripper talking." "you have to cause him pain." "Make him feel things." "anything." "You have to make him see past the blood." "[Screaming and groaning]" "Think of it as a regimen." "Day in and day out." "Like running the treadmill." "Like making coffee." "Until he's ready to be saved." "Lexi!" "You can't." "I'm already dead." "[Screaming and groaning]" "I can't..." "[Gasping]" "[Indistinct chatter]" "[Siren]" "[Police radio chatter]" "[Sighs]" "Ugh!" "I give up." "It's not anywhere in this room." "[Cell phone vibrates]" "Jeremy?" "Jeremy:" "Caroline?" "Did you find that necklace?" "[Siren in distance] what's going on?" "Ghosts of the tomb vampires killed Tobias Fell." "You might want to find that necklace before they start going alphabetically through the founding families." "it's not where it's supposed to be." "[Sighs] Unless someone took it." "Who?" "who do you think?" "I didn't." "She said she didn't take it." "and you believe her." "Jeremy." "I do believe her." "you're an even bigger idiot than I thought." "before you lose everything." "Jeremy?" "What happened?" "I'm still waiting for the other shoe to drop." "Your motives are deceptively pure." "but I know you'll do anything for your brother." "You won't screw me over as long as we have the same agenda." "I'm supposed to believe you're not going to screw me over?" "[Chuckles]" "All right." "Which way?" "I don't know." "Flip a coin." "Aren't you supposed to be all-knowing?" "I'm a ghost." "I'm not God." "Go left." "Or not." "You have trust issues." "Anyone ever tell you that?" "[Grunting and groaning]" "Yo." "Help a brother out?" "[Groaning]" "Mason?" "[Gasping]" "Where is Anna now?" "ok?" "I don't even know for sure if she took the necklace." "She was the only person who heard us talking about it." "Of course she took it." "Ok?" "We have to get it back." "We have to destroy it and then close the door." "but..." " But what?" "Jer?" "Elena." "I can kiss her again. but I do." "I love her." "I've always loved her." "But it's not real." "She's dead." "Gone." "Jer." "Are you going to love a ghost for the rest of your life?" "Anna." "You're just holding him back." "You know that." "Call Bonnie." "Tell her that you have the necklace." "Get her to send the ghosts away." "[Groaning]" "I'm having a bad day." "Sorry." "Thought you might need this." "[Groaning]" "You're welcome." "[Grunting and groaning] man?" "[Groaning]" "I killed you." "I jammed my fist into your chest." "I ripped your heart out." "There's no way this whole buddy-trust act is real." "[Groaning]" "You know what the other side is like?" "We're all alone." "We watch the people we left behind and we regret our decisions." "That's it." "I can't change what happened to me." "But maybe I can change what happens to Tyler." "Damon." "I need redemption." "Ok." "Jeremy's got the necklace." "He's going to meet us at the witch house." "Ok." "What's going on up there?" "It's Mrs. Lockwood's car." "[Tires squealing]" "Bonnie?" " I'm going to get out of the car." " What?" "!" "And you're going to drive the hell away from here." "No way!" "I am not leaving you!" "you've got your ghost boyfriend drama." "Elena has hers." "And right now the mother of mine is about to be ghost bait." "ok?" "right?" "I'll still be able to see you." "This... this doesn't have to be good-bye." "No." "But it should be." "Elena was right." "I'm holding you back." "Anna..." "I'm sorry I took the necklace. that maybe..." "You might find your mother." "Jeremy. or if there's even any peace to be found." "Anna." "there has to be." "ok?" "I just..." "I don't want to be alone anymore." "You're not going to be alone." "I'm not going to let you be alone." "[Crying]" "Stefan." "I know you're in there." "Lexi." "You know you say that every time." "Until I make you feel again." "[Grunts]" "Unnggghh!" "You wasted your whole life taking care of me." "Now you're dead and you still have nothing better to do." "We're running out of time." " You've got to get me more." " I can't." "No!" "No... not until I break through." "Lexi." "They have a necklace." "They're going to close the door." "The necklace." "Ok." "That necklace." "At least tell me you remember how you felt about that." "You found it during your darkest time. that that necklace represented hope." "that it's about to be blown to pieces." "[Groaning]" "God!" "This is not happening." " What now?" " I can't get through." "It's like I'm not invited in." "Wait." "I'm not stopping just 'cause you're stuck." "but..." "Looks like you're going to have to trust me." "Bonnie!" "[Bonnie chanting in latin]" "[Music playing]" "[Chanting continues]" "[All grunting]" "[Groaning]" "So?" "What'd you find?" "It's in... no." "where'd you go?" "Mason!" "Elena." "You just have to break through." "I know what to do now." "You can be free." "[Music continues]" "Mama?" "You are stronger than all of this." "I'm so proud of you." " You're here." " It's about time." "Didn't have anyone else to call?" "I don't. you're pretty much the only one I trust." "you have a crappy way of showing that." "Ric?" "I shouldn't have to get over it." "Damon." "You shouldn't have done it in the first place." "Well!" "Sometimes..." "I do things I don't have to do." "You're going to recycle that same crap ass apology you gave Mason Lockwood?" "Yeah." "Well..." "I didn't mean it with him." "[Music playing]" "[Exhales]" "Elena?" "You just going to stand there?" "Waiting for me to dry out? take care of my brother." "Be a friend to Bonnie and everything else that I have to do." "That's good for you." "I was wondering when you were going to give up." "Lexi gave you... enough of a glimpse into your tragic future." "Stefan." "I still have hope." "But there's nothing that I can do until you get yours back." "Hey." "You can break through this." "Fight for it." "Stefan. you're going to lose me forever." "I won't love a ghost for the rest of my life." "Jeremy:" "Bonnie..." "Jeremy." "I owe you an explanation." "Matt let go of a sister before you let go of Anna." "Jeremy." "You know what you owe me?" "The respect of not making me listen to you explain yourself." "Bonnie." "You need to go." "But..." "Jeremy." "[Exhales]" "[Explosion]" "or is there something in there?" "Ric." "Ric." "I found something." "What is it?" "I have no idea."
