~ Bad Vibes ~

Klaus approached Tyler Lockwood's mother, very much intending to kill her, until she turned to face him and drunkenly slurred, "I need to get home. I have a date with Bob."

"Who's Bob?" Klaus asked, nonplussed.

"My battery-operated boyfriend."

After a moment's consideration, Klaus offered Carol his arm and said, "Allow me to walk you home."

This was an excellent turn of events. Tyler would be completely humiliated, and Klaus didn't even need to kill anyone.

After seeing Carol safely home, and subsequently returning to his own residence, Klaus called Tyler and smugly informed him, "You might want to check on your mother."

He hung up without waiting for a reaction.

Nine and a half minutes later, Tyler called him back.

As soon as Klaus picked up the call, Tyler yelled, "You sick bastard!"

Klaus held the phone away from his as Tyler continued to rant at the top of his lungs.

At this point, his siblings entered the room. They looked from their brother's grinning face to the phone in his hand, from which they could clearly hear Tyler hurling all kinds of insults.

"Nik, what did you do?" Rebekah asked.

"I said something that made our little friend Tyler think that I'd killed his mother. Which - I'm not gonna lie - was my initial plan. But when I approached her after the party, she drunkenly confessed to me that she desperately need to get home to her vibrator."

"So you tricked him into walking in on his own mother while she was masturbating?"

Klaus just laughed.

From the phone they heard: "-and saying 'Oh, Klaus' while she was doing it."

"While fantasizing about me, apparently," Klaus added, upon learning this new bit of information. He put the phone up to his face and said, "Tyler."

On other side of the line, Tyler fell silent.

"Did I mention that your mother gave her vibrator a cute little nickname? She calls it-"

"Shut up! Shut up!" Tyler yelled, and finally hung up on his nemesis.
