Gilbert Residence.
Bathroom.
"You're up early. Where are you going?" Elena asked her brother
"Police station. They're organizing the search party for Vicki." Jeremy said
"Wait. Shouldn't you be going to school?" Margaret asked her brother
"What? You're kidding me, right?" Jeremy asked his sister
"You shouldn't skip school." Margaret said
"If they find her, we'll know. That's what cellphones are for." Elena said
"I'm leaving." Jeremy said as he leaves
Salvatore Boarding House.
Margaret rings the door bell. Damon opens the door.
"Is Stefan here?" Elena asked Damon
"Yep!" Damon said
"Where is he?" Elena asked again
"And good morning to the two of you." Damon said
"How can you be so arrogant and glib after everything that you've done?" Margaret asked Damon
"Calling a vampire arrogant and glib. Want to read my mind and find out what I'm thinking?" Damon asked Margaret
"No and eww. And my sister just asked you a question." Margaret said
"He's upstairs singing "The rain in Spain". Knock yourselves out." Damon said
Damon leaves. Both Elena and Margaret walks in as Elena closes the door and walks down the hall.
"Stefan? Stefan?" Elena said
"Yes." Stefan said
"Where is Vicki?" Margaret asked Stefan
"She's upstairs." Stefan said
"What happens now?" Elena asked Stefan
"Jeremy is out there searching for her with the rest of the town. What do we tell him?" Margaret asked again
"I'm working with her, but it's gonna take time. She's a very volatile and impulsive personality. She's a drug user. I mean, all that's gonna play a part in how she responds to this." Stefan said
"My friend is a vampire with issues. What are we supposed to do? (Glass cracked on a table.) How did that happen?" Margaret asked again
"I don't know." Stefan said
Vicki walked downstairs.
"How long is that?" Vicki asked Stefan
"We can talk about that later." Stefan said
Margaret hugged Vicki.
Parlor.
Margaret, Elena, Stefan, and Vicki are sitting at a table.
"Coffee is our friend. It's the caffeine. It circulate through our veins, and it warms our body so we're not so cold to the touch." Stefan said
"Well, what if I wanna drink human blood?" Vicki asked Stefan
"You're gonna have to learn to live with that urge and fight it on a daily basis one day at time." Stefan said
"Oh god! Don't start with that whole 12 steps thing. School counselor has been down that road, and it doesn't work for me." Vicki said
"It can work. It's your choice, Vicki." Stefan said
"So you've never tasted human blood?" Vicki asked again
"Not in a long time." Stefan said
"How long?" Vicki asked again
"Years and years. I'm not proud of my past behavior." Stefan said
"Does this sketchy feeling ever go away? It's like I have a massive hangover. This daylight thing is a bitch. I need more blood. Where's your bathroom? I have to pee. Why do I have to pee? I thought I was dead." Vicki said
Stefan points into a different direction and Vicki leaves the room.
I'm going to, uh...I'm gonna get her some more. All right. I'll be quick." Stefan said as he leaves
Vicki re-enters.
"False alarm. My body's feeling really funky. It's a good funk, but it's weird. (Vicki texting on her phone. Margaret reads her mind.) I want people blood. I want to see Jeremy." Vicki thinking
Margaret stops reading Vicki's mind.
"Elena, I need you to leave the room." Margaret said
"But..." Elena said as Margaret cuts her off
"Elena, go! (Elena leaves.) Vick, you can't see Jeremy anymore." Margaret said
"But you're my friend." Vicki said
"I am your friend. But I'm also afraid of what you could do to him." Margaret said
"I would never hurt Jeremy." Vicki said
"We can't take that risk. You're gonna have to let him go now. (Vicki sighs.) All I'm saying is he's not getting involved in any of this. I mean it, Vick." Margaret said
Vicki grabs Margaret by the throat and pushes her against the wall.
"If you're my friend then let's get one thing straight. You've been dating Ben McKittrick for 2 years. Your sister had my brother whipped for fifteen. You two dumped them. I can't be happy for once. Now I can be with my vampire powers. Just so you know. I'm gonna see Jeremy whenever I wanna see Jeremy. Whoever get's in my way, I'll start killing." Vicki said
"NO! (Margaret yells as she moves Vicki with her mind and she hit the wall. Vicki disappeared.) What the hell!" Margaret said
Later.
Outside of the house.
"She threatened to kill Elena." Margaret said
"She's on edge. Uncomfortable in her own skin. And then when you throw in her other issues..." Stefan said as Margaret interrupted his sentence
"I did throw her. I don't know how. It was my emotions. Worried that she is going to do something stupid." Margaret said
"The glass shattering?" Elena asked her sister
"Yeah. I threw her against the wall. How long before she settles? Hours? Days? Weeks?" Margaret asked Stefan
"There's no rule book." Stefan said
"Well, how long before you learned to control it?" Elena asked Stefan
"A while, But I didn't have anybody helping me. I had to do it on my own. The thing is it's hard to resist certain people especially when you're new, it's difficult to separate your feelings. Love, lust, anger, desire...it can all blur into one urge, hunger." Stefan said
"Jeremy can't see her. She could hurt him." Margaret said
"Or worse." Elena said
"I'm not gonna let anybody get hurt." Stefan said
"We need to get going." Margaret said
Gilbert Residence.
Kitchen.
Both Elena and Margaret comes in and Jeremy hangs up on the phone.
"Hey. So, um, do you wanna hang out tonight? We could go to the, uh, Halloween thing at school. Could be fun!" Elena said
"Cool. Sure. Sounds uh...sounds fun. Can't wait." Jeremy said
"I know you're upset about Vicki. We heard she called Matt. But you can't be with her. She needs to get better. The best thing you can do for her is let her go." Margaret said
"What does that even mean, "let her go"? Oh, okay, sure. Since we're such experts on letting people go, right?" Jeremy said
"It's for the best." Margaret said
"For months after mom and dad died, I felt like crap, like "nothing really even mattered" crap. Now all of a sudden, I get these moments and things started to feel just a little bit better, and Vicki was in every single of 'em. And keeping me away from her is not for the best." Jeremy said as he leaves
Margaret's room.
Margaret get dressed up as the Victorian steampunk.
High School.
The Halloween carnival is going on.
Margaret, Elena and Jeremy arrive.
"The both of you went with last year's costume too, huh?" Matt asked both Margaret and Elena
"Steampunk again and Elena is a nurse again." Margaret said
"And you're going as...you?" Matt asked Jeremy
Jeremy walks away.
"He's not talking to either one of us right now. We got into fight." Elena said
"Yeah, I got into it with Vic too, when she got home. I'm trying not to smother her tonight, but part of me didn't wanna let her out of my sight." Matt said
"She's here?" Margaret asked Matt
"Yeah, you can't miss her. She's a vampire." Matt said
Margaret leaves them.
Margaret searches through the halls and see both Vicki and Stefan in the classroom. She walks in.
"What are you doing here? It's not safe." Margaret said
"I can do whatever I want." Vicki said
"She's right. It's too dangerous." Stefan said
"I can control myself." Vicki said
"Really? No headache? Your stomach's not screaming at you? You're not feeling lightheaded or anxious or cranky like if someone looks at you the wrong way you could just rip their head off? Do you wanna know what that's called? It's called hunger and it's only gonna get worse and worse every minute that you pretend like it's not controlling you." Stefan said
The hallways.
Both Matt and Elena finds Margaret and Stefan with Vicki.
"What's goin' on?" Matt asked them
"Everything's fine." Stefan said
"I told you to quit bothering me." Vicki said
"Vick, don't do this." Margaret begged
"Matt, he won't leave me alone." Vicki said
"You need to back off, man." Matt said
"Matt, it's...it's okay." Elena said
"No, it's not okay. What the hell is your problem?" Matt asked Stefan
Vicki disappeared.
"Stefan. She's gone." Margaret said
To the back entrance.
Both Margaret and Elena ran as they see Vicki attacking Jeremy. They ran over to them.
"Vicki, no!" Margaret said
Elena hits Vicki with a wooden plank. Vicki pushes Elena towards Margaret and they fell down. Stefan grabs Vicki and holds her against the bus.
"Vicki!" Jeremy said
Vicki disappears.
"Go. Get inside. Go!" Stefan said
Both Margaret and Elena get up. They grabbed Jeremy and ran. Vicki pushes both Jeremy and Margaret out of the way and grabs Elena. Margaret gets up.
"You don't want her." Margaret said
"Sure I do." Vicki said
"Right here. I'm standing right here. She's not responsible. You want to kill someone, kill me." Margaret said
Vicki let go of Elena.
"Margaret no!" Elena said
She vamp speed towards Margaret as she was about to bite her. Stefan stabs her with a wooden stake. She dies and she fell down. Margaret fall on her knees and comfort her friends dead body. She cries.
"Vicki! Vicki! Vicki! Vicki!" Jeremy said
Stefan holds Jeremy back. Margaret looked at Stefan.
"Get them out of here. GO!" Margaret said
They leave.
Damon arrives. Margaret is still crying and still comforting her friends body.
"You should go." Damon said
Margaret gets up.
"This is your fault." Margaret said
"None of this matters to me. None of it." Damon said
"Why would you do this? Everything matters and you know it." Margaret said
"It doesn't." Damon said
Margaret punches Damon on the face as she leaves.
Parking lot.
"Margaret! Hey, have you seen Vicki?" Matt asked Margaret
"No. I tried finding her and I don't know where she is." Margaret lied
"Is this what I'm in for, a lifetime of worrying about her?" Matt asked again
"You're a good brother, Matt." Margaret said
"Yeah, Maybe she went home." Matt said
"Maybe." Margaret said
Margaret gets in her car and beats the steering wheel.
Gilbert Residence
Margaret arrives home. Stefan and Elena is waiting outside.
"How's he doing?" Margaret asked her sister
"Not good. (Margaret was about to go in and Elena stopped her.) It's not a good idea right now." Elena said
"DAMN IT!" Margaret yells
Margaret punches the wall as she grunts in pain. Her knuckles were bleeding.
"I didn't mean for this to happen." Stefan said
"Make him forget." Margaret said
"I can't." Stefan said
"Stefan, please. He'll never get past this." Elena said
"He has to forget everything that happened." Margaret said
"If I did it, there's no guarantee that it would work...Because of who I am. Because of how I live. I don't have the ability to do it right." Stefan said
"I can do it. (They looked at Damon.) If this is what you Gilbert sisters want...I'll do it." Damon said
Both Margaret and Elena looked at each other and look back at Damon.
"No strings. No nothing." Margaret said
"What do you want him to know?" Damon asked both Elena and Margaret
"Tell him that Vicki left town and she's not coming back. That he shouldn't look for her or worry about her." Margaret said
"He's gonna miss her, but he knows it's for the best." Elena said
Damon goes inside.
