Previously on The Vampire Dairies

Stefan: She said she has feelings for Damon.

Stefan: You obviously haven't heard. Elena and I broke up.

(Damon stays silent for a moment with a blank, expressionless face.)

Damon: Oh.

(Stefan grimaces and laughs)

Stefan: Let's not pretend like this isn't the best day of your life.

Klaus: I was promised a date in return for one of my hybrids.

(Damon is walking down the stairs. Elena is following right behind him.)

Elena: Damon.

(Damon stops at the bottom of the staircase and turns to look at her.)

Damon: Still here.

(There is a moment of silence and Elena sighs and finally speaks up.)

Elena: We need to talk.

Damon: Stefan told me about the break up.

Elena: So, he didn't tell you why?

Damon: Nope. But I'm sure it has something to do with you acting weird, so why don't you tell me?

Elena: You.

(Damon stares at her, speechless at this reveal. They stare at each other for a long moment. Professor Shane walks by, but stops when he sees Damon.)

(Caroline stops and looks at him.)

Caroline: You're. Perfect.

(Klaus smiles.)

Caroline: Just so beyond annoying, I can't even look at you.

(Klaus doesn't say anything. Caroline eventually looks at him again anyways.)

The girls and their escorts bow to each other and begin the dance. Damon watches them for a moment then looks over at Elena, remember when they had danced together at the last Miss Mystic Falls. Elena is still looking around for Jeremy but eventually catches Damon looking at her and she smiles. Damon looks back and watches the dance.

(Caroline and Klaus are walking next to the pond on the Lockwood property. Klaus is carrying two glasses and a bottle of champagne.)

Caroline: It's just, as her best friend, it is my duty to warn her when she's making a giant mistake, right? And now she's taking Damon's side on everything.

Klaus: So, being a vampire's changed her?

Caroline: But being a vampire only amplifies who you already are. It doesn't turn you into a completely different person.

Klaus: It's very peculiar.

(Klaus smirks and looks as if he knows something she doesn't. Caroline looks at him.)

Caroline: What's that look for?

Klaus: It'll all make sense eventually.

Caroline: Would you ever take it?

Klaus: Now, why would I want to cure myself of being the most powerful creature on the planet? Hm?

Caroline: So there's not one single moment in your whole life that you wanted to be human?

(Klaus looks at her and pops the cork off the champagne bottle. He avoids the question.)

Klaus: How about you?

Klaus: Life used to be a lot easier.

(Klaus stands up and pulls a piece of paper out from inside his jacket.)

Klaus: Don't you miss the days of being...

(He opens up the paper and starts to read from it.)

Klaus: 'Chair of the Mystic Falls Beautification Committee' and the 'Director of the Policeman's Yearly Raffle.'

(Caroline looks up at him with wide, horrified eyes.)

Caroline: Is that my Miss Mystic application?

(She stands up and smacks the paper out of his hands.)

Caroline: Where did you get that?!

(Klaus laughs and catches the paper. He continues reading.)

Klaus: 'When I am chosen I intend to redefine excellence.'

(Caroline runs her hands through her hair in frustration.)

Klaus: Now, I'm really enjoying your use of when here. It's very confident.

(Caroline looks at him and laughs sarcastically.)

Klaus: 'And above all, I promise to aspire, inspire, and perspire.."

(Caroline has her hand on her hips and continues to nod and smile, clearly not enjoying this torment. Klaus cannot stop laughing.)

Klaus: Obviously, we found a shortage of words ending in spire.

(Caroline tries to grab the paper out of his hands again.)

Caroline: Yeah, it's very funny.

(She continues to try to take the paper from Klaus, but he keeps pulling it out of reach.)

Caroline: It's hilarious. Just-

(Klaus holds the paper out behind him and away from Caroline. He looks at her with an expression that clearly says try and take it from me. Caroline stops trying and cracks a smile. She begins to laugh.)

Shane: You know, since it's generally unwise for a vampire to seek out a Hunter, it means you're interested in the mark. It's probably because of where it leads, but here's the thing, even if you complete the mark and you get the map, the thing that you're looking for is sealed with a spell only a certain kind of witch can perform.

Damon: What kind of witch?

Shane: Come on, Damon.

(Damon grabs Shane by the wrist and squeezes it.)

Damon: I love pressure points. What kind of witch?

Shane: Come on, you're a big boy, you can figure this one out.

(Damon thinks for a moment.)

Damon: A Bennett witch.

Shane: Aren't too many of those lying around as I'm sure you know. So, none of this matters until Bonnie's back in touch with her magic and between the two of us, who do you think she trusts to help her get there?

(Realizing what she has just done, she walks over to him and kneels down next to him. She starts to shake him.)

Elena: Jer, Jer, hey, Jer, wake up. Jer, please wake up.

(Elena continues to panic and shake Jeremy. Suddenly, he opens his eyes and stakes Elena in the neck with the hidden arm cuff stake. Elena gasps and clutches her neck.)

Klaus: I never answered your question; if I ever thought about being human. Once, I was on a trek in the Andies, and a hummingbird flew up to me. It just hovered there, staring at me, its tiny heart was pattering like a machine gun. And I thought, what a thing, you know, to have to work that hard every day just to stay alive. To be constantly on the verge of death and how satisfying every day must be that it survived. And that was the only time I thought about being human.

(Caroline smiles.)

Elena: You mean me. The only way to fix me. You don't have to love me like this. This is who I am now. The old Elena died when she went off that bridge. Let her go.

(Stefan is clearly upset by Elena's words.)

(Jeremy is in his room, packing a bag. Matt enters.)

Matt: What are you doing?

Jeremy: I can't keep living here if I want to kill my sister.

Matt: Elena knows that. That's why she moved out and asked me to move in.

(Jeremy looks up at him in surprise.)

Jeremy: What?

Matt: Look, I'm not one of them, Jer. I'll keep an eye on you and we can keep this Hunter business in check.

Jeremy: Where's Elena gonna go?

(Matt doesn't respond, because the answer is pretty obvious.)

Damon opens the front door. Elena is outside, carrying her luggage. She walks in the house. Stefan walks out of the parlor and they look at each other.)

Elena: I can't stay at home anymore.

(Stefan nods.)

Stefan: Pick a room. I'll crash somewhere else.

(Stefan walks out of the house. Elena and Damon watch him leave.)
