Salvatore Boarding House
Both Margaret and Elena enters the living room.
"Did you ever figure out what that is?" Elena asked Damon
"Nope. Whatever it is, it doesn't work." Damon said
"Pearl didn't say anything else about it?" Margaret asked Damon
"She thought she was stealing his vampire compass, but that was a pocket watch. That Johnathan Gilbert was a crazy scientist. Have you two spoken to your uncle lately?" Damon asked both Margaret and Elena
"We've been avoiding him, actually. I've been staying with my mom." Margaret said
"And I've been here most nights." Elena said
"Which she'll be here again tonight. And I'll be coming over." Margaret said
"See you later." Elena said
Both Elena and Margaret leave.
Gilbert Residence.
Elena's room.
Margaret calling Damon.
"What?"Damon said
Margaret puts the phone on speaker.
"We're just grabbing some clothes, and then we'll be right over." Margaret said
"How's Stefan?"Elena asked Damon
"Extra broody. Hold on. (Both Margaret and Elena wait for a minute. Margaret's phone rings and she puts it on speaker.)He won't eat anything." Damon said
"He has to eat what's his favorite...Kind of, um..." Elena asked Damon
"His favorite kind of what?" Damon asked Elena
"Type of animal blood that he prefers?"Elena asked again
"Ew. Gross."Damon said
"Heh. Your joking doesn't help."Elena said
"Helps me. Now, hurry up. I can't baby-sit all night. I have things to do.Stefan likes...Puppy blood...Little golden retriever puppies with cute, floppy ears. That's his favorite."Damon said
"Not funny."Elena said
"Margaret could you come with me?"Damon asked Margaret
"Sure. But why me?"Margaret asked in confusion
"Need more company. Just in case more tomb vampires show up. You've got that whole telekinesis and mindreading thing. Could be useful."Damon said
"Yeah ok.(Margaret hangs up. John shows up.) Uncle John!" Margaret said
Elena closes her closet door.
"I thought we could talk. We haven't had a chance to catch up." John said
"We're actually just heading out." Elena said
"Well, it won't take long." John said
"What did you want to talk about?" Elena asked her uncle
"Well...I know that you two know." John said
"Know what?" Margaret asked her uncle
"It's really silly to keep pretending. What do you think your mother would say. If she knew you two were friends and dating vampires?" John asked both Margaret and Elena
"Which mother?" Elena asked again
"My mother Elizabeth. She wouldn't care if I dated a vampire even I don't. We don't have to discuss our personal lives with you." Margaret said
Both Margaret and Elena leave.
Salvatore Boarding House
"I can't believe you told him off. I should've been there." Damon said
"Tired of his arrogance. He just needed to hear it." Margaret said
"He doesn't love us." Elena said
"Gilbert or not. He doesn't treat us like that." Margaret said
"We won't be long." Damon said
Night.
Grove Hill Residence.
Margaret, Damon, and Alaric are at the apartment.
"This is the one here. The records show was paid 3 months in advance." Alaric said
"This is where it gets tricky. I may or may not be able to get in." Damon said
"You don't know that." Margaret said
"By the owner or the person of entitlement. Short-term rentals and hotels are a bit of a gray area." Damon said
"Playing it by ear." Margaret said
"Heh. Could we not kill anyone tonight, please?" Alaric said
"If it's a vampire. We wouldn't have a choice." Margaret said
Margaret senses a vampire.
"What is it?" Alaric asked Margaret
"Keep your eyes open." Margaret said
Margaret uses her telekinesis to open the door. They go inside and go to the kitchen. He opens the fridge and see blood bags. A man jumps on Alaric. Margaret uses her telekinesis to pin the man on the wall.
"What are you?" Henry asked Margaret
"We'll ask the questions." Margaret said
Margaret puts him down.
"I know you." Damon said
"Damon?" Henry asked in confusion
"Your name is Henry. You were in the tomb." Damon said
"Yes, sir. What are you doing here?" Henry asked Damon
"Do you know anyone by the name of John Gilbert?" Damon asked Henry
"How do you know him?" Henry asked again
"Well, I've known him for years. He's a good friend. How do you know him?" Damon asked again
"I met him right after I got out of the tomb. He's been helping me out." Henry said
"By definition of how?" Margaret asked Henry
"Adapting. It's a whole new world...Cars, computers. There's so much to learn. He helped me get this place." Henry said
"So, do you live here alone or is there someone else here?" Alaric asked Henry
"That's my friend's very passive-aggressive way of asking, uh, do you know a woman named Isobel?" Damon asked again
"Uh, no. No, I don't know an Isobel. I know John. He's my only real friend. He really showed me the ropes...how to use a microwave, separate my whites." Henry said
"What else do you do for him?" Margaret asked again
"I help keep an eye on things...You know, with the others." Henry said
"The others?" Damon asked in confusion
"From the tomb. They're still pissed at the founding families for trying to burn them alive. I'm cool, but those tomb boys, they want revenge" Henry said
"What does John want with them?" Alaric asked again
"He's just keeping an eye on them, you know? Trying to make sure they stay out of trouble." Henry said
"Well, that's John. Heh. He's such a do-gooder." Damon said
Henry receives a call.
"Heh. That's John now. (Margaret reads Henry's mind.)They shouldn'tknow. Killing all the tomb vampires, and Damon and Stefan."Henry thinking
Margaret stops reading Henry's.
"He's lying." Margaret said
"What's going on?" Henry asked in confusion
"He was going to kill us." Margaret said
Henry knows a trap and runs at Alaric. Margaret pins him on the wall with her telekinesis again. Alaric stabs him with a stake.
"Let's not not kill anyone tonight." Your words. Just pointing that out." Damon said
Damon empties the blood bags. Margaret sits on a chair.
"Beer. No smirnoff. Got pepsi." Damon said
"I'll take that." Margaret said
Damon tossed Margaret the pepsi as she catches it.
"I looked everywhere. The place is...The place is clean." Alaric said
"I would've sense anymore vampires." Margaret said
"This was a real dead-end." Alaric said
"I wouldn't beat myself up over it, man." Damon said
"Isobel did something stupid to both of you. Rick you were what, married to her for a few years? Damon, Katherine seduced you to turn you. Just like Isobel seduced you to turn her. It was some sick game. Her and Katherine are alike. Those two treat the both of you like dirt. Only thing that you can do is move on." Margaret said
"You're right. I don't want to waste any more of my life. Searching for answers that I really don't want. I'm through with Isobel. I...I'm done with all of this." Alaric said
Salvatore Boarding House.
Both Margaret and Damon enters the room.
"How was the "errand"?" Elena asked both her sister and Damon
"Brutal." Margaret said
"Has Stefan eaten yet?" Damon asked Elena
"I think he's getting there. But he's got a lot of guilt that he has to deal with. And it doesn't help that you've spent the last 145 years punishing him for Katherine getting caught." Elena said
"I'll go check on him.
Cellar.
Margaret sees the door open. She looked at Stefan and looked hopeless. She sits beside him on his left side.
"You can tell what I'm thinking." Stefan said
"I don't have to read your mind for that." Margaret said
"If you're here to gloat..." Stefan said as Margaret cuts him off
"You think that's what I'm here for? You're not eating or putting your ring on. You're not blaming Damon. You're just blaming yourself." Margaret said
"It was my fault. I made him turn." Stefan said
"That was 146 years ago. That was in the past. You have to think about the present." Margaret said
"I've killed people." Stefan said
"That was the ripper. It wasn't you. Our actions are on our own. You're the person who's chosen to be good. You're stronger then any of us." Margaret said
Stefan puts on his ring and Margaret smiles at him.
Living room.
Both Margaret and Stefan walk into the living room. Elena ran into Stefan and kissed him.
"He chosen not to kill himself after all." Margaret said
"Thank you." Stefan thanking Margaret
"You're welcome. I'm gonna leave. Drive her home." Margaret said
"Sure." Stefan said
"I'll walk you out. (Damon opens the door. Him and Margaret walked to her car.) Thanks for saving Stefan." Damon said
"He just needed to have a good talking too." Margaret said
"That speech you did about moving on. Rick is getting his smile back. And you were right about Katherine. She treated me like crap." Damon said
"Not all of us are bad. People make mistakes. And you want to know what I think? You can't stand being a vampire all the time because you miss being human." Margaret asked in confusion
Damon sighs.
"Margaret there's something I have to tell you." Damon said
Stefan gets out of the house.
"I need your help with something." Stefan said
"Can it wait? I have to say something to Margaret." Damon said
"It's ok. I have to go to my mom's house. Bye Damon." Margaret said
Margaret gets in her car and drives off.
"What're you doing?" Stefan said
"I was trying to tell her something before I was interrupted." Damon said
"You two been spending time with each other. Bonded. Everyone of us are going to say the same thing. Stay away from her." Stefan threatens his brother
"That's not everyone's business." Damon said
"She's Elena's sister and Elizabeth daughter. I know you have feelings for her." Stefan said
"She was there for me and I was there for her." Damon said
Morrow Residence.
In the kitchen.
Elizabeth cooking dinner.
"You hungry?" Elizabeth asked her daughter
"Actually I ate with Damon and Alaric." Margaret said
"With Damon?" Elizabeth asked in confusion
"Yeah. Why are you asking me in a confused look?" Margaret asked her mother
"I'm not." Elizabeth lied
"Mom?" Margaret asked again
"I'm just glad you and Damon are hanging out. But when he's around you he seems different." Elizabeth said
"People can change." Margaret said
