Gilbert Residence.
Margaret's room.
She's writing in her diary.
"Dear diary,
Things are getting complicated. It's been weeks now. And now I feel something again. Helping me move on from Ben. One person who's helping me move on is Damon. Can't explain it. Can't tell people about this."
High School.
Alaric's classroom.
"Okay, this week we're gonna set outside our regular curriculum for a lesson in local history as we approach Founders' Day. Apparently the community leaders feels it's more important than World War 2 but hey what do I know?" Alaric said
"1940's began at January 1, 1940, and ended on December 31, 1949. Most of World War II took place in the first half of the decade, which had a profound effect on most countries and people in Europe, and Asia." Margaret explain
"You've been doing your reading." Alaric said
Bonnie enters the classroom.
"Sorry I'm late." Bonnie apologize
"Well, it looks like we will be at full occupancy today. Welcome home, Bonnie." Alaric said
Bonnie sits down and smiles at both Elena and Margaret but when she looks at Stefan her smile fades. Bonnie turns her head.
Bonnie is walking, reading papers. Margaret and her sister is running after her.
"Bonnie!" Margaret said
"Hey." Bonnie said
"We tried to grab you after class but you already taken off. How are you?" Elena asked Bonnie
"How's your family?" Margaret asked Bonnie
"We're dealing, it's been hard." Bonnie said
"Everyone here really missed you." Margaret said
"Yeah, I just had so much to deal with after Grams' funeral and, honestly after you told me the tomb spell failed I just didn't really want to come back." Bonnie said
"We wanted you to know before you came home." Elena said
Caroline approaches to them.
"Bonnie! Bonnie! Thank god you're home! (Caroline hugged Bonnie. She stopped hugging her.) I know we talked everyday but I missed you. (Both Elena and Margaret were upset.) How are you doing?" Caroline asked Bonnie
"Better. Better. You know, glad to be back and trying to keep myself busy." Bonnie said
"Well, I can help with that. Major wardrobe problem. You need to help me pick up the perfect dress for the Founders' court." Caroline said
"Oh my god! We signed up for that so long ago...I completely forgot." Elena said
"Miranda signed me up. She thought it would be good for me to go to one of those pageants." Margaret said
Gilbert Residence.
Living room.
"Where's John?" Margaret asked her aunt
"He's working late." Jenna said
"Sweet." Margaret said
"You've been announced as one of the contestants." Elizabeth said
"Yes." Margaret said
Elizabeth hugged her daughter.
Founders Hall.
Carol Lockwood and two others woman are interviewing the girls who are in the Miss Mystic Falls pageant.
"This year's queen will have the special honor of taking stage at the hundred and fiftieth Founders' Day Gala. Before we crown our winner, we'd like to get to know a bit more about each of you." Carol explain
"I've been tutoring elementary and middle school kids. My dream is to become a teacher. I've been wanting on that since I was 7. Miranda's been teaching me a lot and helping me study. When she died I started to study by myself without any help. Get good grades. When I've been selected right now. Even though that she isn't my biological mother. I would do this for her." Margaret explain
High School.
Carol Lockwood is teaching dance moves to the girls who are in the Mystic Falls pageant and their partners.
"Honor your partner. Stay focus, right hand around. Flirt with your eyes. (Margaret is practicing with a korean student name Dean Kim.) Left hand around. (They did what she said.) Both hands. (Stefan spins Elena around and catches her in his arms.) No! No! There's no touching during this part. It's about the simple intimacy of the near touch. Very nice, Amber!" Carol said
"Thank you, Mrs. Lockwood!" Amber said
They go back to dancing. Both Bonnie and Caroline enters the room. Margaret and Elena approaches to them.
"Bonnie. Hey." Elena said
"I begged Bonnie to fill in for Matt, he had to work today." Caroline said
"Bonnie, do you have a minute?" Margaret asked Bonnie
"We only have 30 minutes for rehearsal." Bonnie said
"It only take a minute." Margaret said
They walk out of the room.
"Bonnie, you have to tell us what's wrong." Elena said
"It not worth talking about." Bonnie said
"What do you mean not worth it? You barely said ten words to us and you won't even look at Stefan. Is that what it is? Is it Stefan?" Elena asked Bonnie
"I can't just pretend that everything's okay. Everything my Grams did was to protect us from those vampires in the tomb. And now they're out which means she died for nothing." Bonnie said
"What can we do to make it better?" Margaret asked again
"That's just it, there's nothing you two can do. I blame him and Damon. I'm not gonna put you two in a situation where the both of you have to choose sides. I'm just having a hard time with it, okay?" Bonnie said
Margaret reads Stefan's mind.
"Blood. Blood. Blood."Stefan thinking
Margaret stopped reading his mind.
Parking lot.
Margaret calling Damon.
"Why hello, nephilim. Thinking about me?" Damon said
"Don't call me that. And no not thinking about you. Stefan still on human blood." Margaret said
"That he's a bloodholic. I've been knowing." Damon said
"Your jokes. Never useful." Margaret said
"I got to go. Talk to you later." Damon said as he hangs up
Gilbert Residence.
Margaret's room.
"Are you ok?" Elena asked her sister
"I think you should stay away from Stefan. I read his mind today and he keeps thinking about blood." Margaret said
"You think Stefan is still on blood?" Elena asked again
"Yes." Margaret said
Next day.
Elena walks downstairs. Someone knocks at the door. Margaret opens the door and it was Alaric.
"Hey, Rick." Margaret said
"Hey." Alaric said
"We heard you're driving." Elena said
"Yeah I am. (Alaric enters the house and closes the door.) How...how is Stefan?" Alaric asked Elena
"He's still on edge." Margaret said
John arrives.
"Alaric. Hey buddy, what are you doing here?" John asked Alaric
"I'm the chauffeur." Alaric said
"I thought I was driving." John said
Jenna goes down the stairs.
"No need, we're going with Rick. Jeremy can ride with you." Jenna said
Founders Hall.
In a room.
The girls are putting their make up on.
Dressing room.
Margaret is in her black dress.
Damon enters.
"You can't be back here." Elena said
"We need to talk." Damon said
"I supposed to the fact that Stefan is still thinking about human blood." Margaret said
"A month ago I would have rejoiced but with the council back on the alert, it is not a good time for Stefan to fly off the handle. And he has a fridge full of stolen blood bank contraband in the house." Damon explain
"That I didn't know about. All he said was blood, blood, blood." Margaret explain
"He spent all this time fighting it when he should have been learning to control it and now it's controlling him instead." Damon said
"I can't believe this." Elena said
"Stefan on human blood; he'll do anything, he'll say anything because he's not gonna want to stop." Damon said
"This is all my fault; I'm the one who fed him the blood in the first place." Elena said
Stefan enters.
"What's going on in here?" Stefan asked them
"Have you been doing some activities lately?" Margaret asked Stefan
Stefan laughing.
"What are you talking about?" Stefan asked in confusion
"She read your mind and I know about the blood." Elena said
"I'm uh - I'll be downstairs, drinking." Damon said
"I'll wait outside." Margaret said
Both Damon and Margaret get out of the room. She shuts the door and he was about to walk downstairs. She stopped him. She dragged his into the bathroom and closed the door. She turns the faucet as the water is pouring.
"What is it?" Damon asked Margaret
"If anything goes wrong. I need you to take his place. It's not only important to me. It's important for Elena too. Can you do that?" Margaret asked Damon
"Anything for you Margaret." Damon said
Waiting room.
Upstairs Caroline, Margaret, and Elena are waiting.
"Has anyone seen Amber?" Carol asked them
Elena looking if she sees Stefan downstairs.
"Stefan isn't down there." Elena said
Caroline look above the balcony.
"My boring fill in escort." Caroline said
"What happened to Matt?" Margaret asked Caroline
"They wouldn't let him out of work." Caroline said
"What am I doing? I never should have gone through with this." Elena said
"What do you mean?" Caroline asked Elena
"I need to find Stefan, this isn't me, I'm not this person anymore." Elena panicks
"Dropping out isn't going to do anything. And it doesn't matter who wins. Doing this means that you're doing it for Miranda." Margaret said
"We're all winner's." Caroline said
"That's right." Margaret said
"Miss Caroline Forbes and her escort Jeffrey Lockwood Hamilton." Richard said
Caroline walked downstairs and being escorted. Carol looked at Margaret.
"Margaret you're up next." Carol said
"Miss Margaret Gilbert and her escort Dean Kim." Richard said
"Here I go." Margaret said
Margaret walked down stairs and being escorted. She nods at Damon.
"Miss Elena Gilbert, escorted by Mister Stefan Salvatore." Richard said
Margaret looked at her sister as she walked down stairs and looks for Stefan but she doesn't see him. Damon takes Stefan's place to escort her sister. The girls and their escorts walked outside. The couples take their positions for the dance. They bow and curtsey to their respective partner. The girls and their escorts begin to dance. Margaret was trying to focus as she kept dancing.
The girls are on the stage, the mayor arrives.
"Where is Amber?" Caroline asked both Elena and Margaret
"I don't know." Elena said
"Probably wonder off somewhere." Margaret said
"Before I crown the winner, I'd like to offer a personal thank you to all of these young ladies for their efforts to better our community. (Everyone applause.) So, without further a due it is my honor to announce our very own Miss Mystic Falls, Miss Caroline Forbes!" Richard said
Caroline is surprised. Her, Margaret, and Elena are laughing.
"Congratulations!" Elena said
"I actually won!" Caroline said
"Way to go, Care." Margaret said
Caroline hugged both Elena and Margaret. Richard puts the banner around her shoulder.
Night.
Hallway.
Both Margaret and Elena joins Damon.
"What is it, did you find him?" Elena asked Damon
"There were signs of a struggle in the upstairs bathroom. There was blood and that Amber girl is missing." Damon said
"Oh my god! He wouldn't hurt her, he won't!" Elena said
"Let's just find him." Margaret said
"Get your coats!" Damon said
They leave.
Outside.
Amber screams and Stefan bites her. Elena, Damon and Margaret arrive.
"Stefan!" Elena said
Stefan releases Amber.
"Stefan, come on get control. It's okay, come on. Breath through it man." Damon said
Stefan catches Damon and throws him against a tree.
"DAMON!" Margaret yells
Margaret was about to use telekinesis on Stefan.
"Don't. (Damon gets up. All the sudden Stefan holds his head. Both Margaret and Elena are looking at Bonnie as she was doing a pain infliction spell that was hurting him. She stops.) It's okay. Stefan." Damon said
Stefan runs away.
The police arrive. Damon, Bonnie, Elena, and Margaret are still there.
"You didn't see anything?" Liz asked the girls
It was a long pause.
"No, we just found her and then called Damon." Elena said
"Is she gonna be okay?" Bonnie asked Liz
"It looks like it yeah. Why don't you girls get back to the party? Damon and I can take it from here." Liz said
"Okay." Margaret said
Margaret, Elena, and Bonnie leave.
Bonnie goes to her car. Both Margaret and Elena follows her.
"Bonnie, can we talk about this?" Elena asked Bonnie
"There's nothing to talk about." Bonnie said
"Bonnie, please!" Margaret begged
"I told you two I wasn't gonna make you both choose but I need to make the choice for myself. Please just leave me alone." Bonnie said
Bonnie gets into her car and drives off. Margaret shed a tear and Elena looks sad.
Salvatore Boarding House.
Living room.
"You've been a big help these few weeks." Margaret said
"I knew you guys needed help." Damon said
" Damon you're hiding something from me. I'm your friend. Whatever it is you can tell me." Margaret said
"There's nothing to say about." Damon said
Damon hearing rambling. He ran up and Margaret followed. They entered Stefan's room. Elena looks at them.
"Sure you want to do this?" Damon asked Elena
"I'm sure." Elena said
They put Stefan in a cell in the basement. Damon closes the door.
"There's no guarantee it's going to work." Damon said
"It has to." Elena said
Elena sits down opposite the cell door, resting her back against the wall. Margaret sits beside her and holds her hand. Damon sits down as well. He looked at Margaret.
