Morrow Residence.
"Mom, I don't have a dress for the founder's day parade tomorrow. (Elizabeth gets out her old dress. It was blue.) Isn't that..." Margaret asked as her mother finishes her sentence
"Yes. I've worn this on my good days. I figure that you should have this for tomorrow." Elizabeth said
Margaret hugged her mother.
"Thanks mom. (Margaret stopped hugging her mother.) I need to get home." Margaret said
"See ya, tomorrow." Elizabeth said
"Bye, mom." Margaret said
"Bye." Elizabeth said
Next day.
Gilbert Residence.
Both Margaret and Elena are getting dressed for the Founders' Day Parade. Elena puts her necklace.
High School.
Stefan is standing alone, waiting. Damon arrives.
"Look at you, all retro." Damon said
"What are you doing here?" Stefan asked his brother
"Why wouldn't I be here? Bonnie deactivated the Gilbert invention, Isobel is gone and it's Founders' Day! I'm here to eat cotton candy and making sure Margaret might feel the same way about me." Damon said
"Drop it, Damon." Stefan said
"You started it. With the whole "I'm insecure, leave Margaret alone. She's Elena's sister and Elizabeth's daughter." speech. I'm enjoying that." Damon said
"As long as you heard it." Stefan said
Both Damon and his brother see Margaret and Elena approaching. They smiles at them and curtsies.
Margaret, Elena, and Stefan are talking about John being Margaret and Elena's father.
"No, no, no! This can't be. He's not my father." Margaret said
"Elizabeth mind was erased from someone who she slept with. John dated Isobel and slept with her while he was cheating on her when they were teenagers. He didn't want you two to know the truth. That's why he was wearing the bracelet to block the telepathy." Stefan explain
"We've never liked this man." Elena said
"Not just adopted sisters. We're half sisters. That means I'm half Gilbert." Margaret said
"Yeah." Stefan said
"I'm still processing." Margaret said
"Sorry, I'm sorry. I just...I wanted to tell the both of you." Stefan said
"We really hope that it's not true. What are we supposed to do?" Elena asked Stefan
"Do we confront him say "are you our biological father?" Margaret asked Stefan
"When you two are ready." Stefan said
"We have enough problems with the family that we actually care about. Jeremy hates us, and why wouldn't he?" Margaret said
"He's just hurt, he's confused." Stefan said
"He's never going to forgive us for Vicki, for taking away his memories, for lying to him." Elena said
"He's both of your brother, he'll forgive the two of you. Just give him some time." Stefan said
Both Margaret and Elena is running after Jeremy.
"Jeremy! We was wondering where you were. You look great, and you guys did a really great job on the float." Elena said
"Go away." Jeremy said
"Jeremy, come on! Please!" Margaret begged
"Why don't the two of you have Damon erase my memory again? Then I could go back to being the-dark little brother." Jeremy said
"Jer, please." Elena begged
"Just don't! You guys can't fix this that easily; something like this doesn't just get fixed." Jeremy said as he leaves
The floats are parading. Carol Lockwood commentates.
"Let's give a big hand to the Mystic Fall's high school Marching Band! (The marching band and the cheerleaders parade, everyone applauds and scream.) And for a little local history, Mr. Saltzman's students have recreated Virginia's Battle of Willow Creek. (The float arrives in the street. Jeremy and Tyler are in it, they wave to the crowd and pretend to shoot at each other.) Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome our stunning Miss Mystic Falls Court and their handsome escorts. (Margaret, Elena Stefan, Caroline and Matt, and the rest of the Mystic Falls Court and their escorts are on the float; they laugh and wave to the crowd.) This is Caroline Forbes, Miss Mystic Falls. Aren't they beautiful?" Carol said
Bonnie is in the crowd. She smiles and waves at both Elena and Margaret. Both of them smiles and waves back to Bonnie. Damon walks in front of her, he smiles and waves to Margaret. She looks away.
Mystic grill.
Margaret arrives and she's back in her regular clothes. Damon approaches to her.
"You look nice. The elegant look, I didn't like." Damon said
"Is that an insult?" Margaret asked Damon
"It's just a compliment." Damon said
"Everyone is worried about our...friendship." Margaret said
"Did my brother or your sister mention something to you too?" Damon asked in curiousity
"No, did they mention something to you?" Margaret asked again
"No." Damon said
"So, I think you should stop with the flirty little comments and that eye-thing that you do." Margaret said
Damon smiling and doing the eye-thing.
"What eye thing?" Damon asked again
"Don't make me regret being your friend. (Elena approaches to her sister and Damon. She drags her arm and both of them approaches to their brother.) What we did was to protect you. There's so much that you don't know." Margaret said
"You're half angel and half human hybrid." Jeremy said
"I'm still me. I'm still your sister. Me and Elena." Margaret said
"We lied to you. We were wrong. But you're our brother, Jer, and we love you, and we have to fix it. Tell us, what can we do?" Elena asked her brother
"You two can go to hell." Jeremy said
Jeremy gets up and leaves.
Town Square
Jeremy is walking, and Damon appears walking behind him.
"I have so many emotions, but I don't have any way to express them. Being a teenager is so hard!" Damon mocking Jeremy
"Dick!" Jeremy said
"You don't talk to me like that! I'm not either of your sisters. And for now on, (Damon grabs Jeremy's arm) don't talk to them that way." Damon said
"So, you're going to kill me just 'cause I hurt their feelings?" Jeremy asked Damon
"Cut them some slack. I erased your memories. They was protecting you." Damon said
"It wasn't their call to make. (Jeremy tries to leave but Damon grabs his arm and pulls him back.) Let go of me before I cause a scene." Jeremy threaten Damon
"You'll be unconscious before you even got a word out." Damon said
Stefan arrives.
"Let him go. (Damon releases Jeremy. Stefan puts himself between them and looks at Jeremy.) Are you alright?" Stefan asked Jeremy
"Yeah." Jeremy said
Stefan looking at his brother. Then looked back at Jeremy.
"What my brother is trying to say is, don't blame Elena for this. Damon turned Vicki, I killed her. She was a threat to you, and she was a threat to both your sisters. I'm sorry that it happened, I wish that it hadn't." Stefan said
Damon looked at his brother.
"You shouldn't have made me forget." Jeremy said as he leaves
"Good cop, bad cop. I like it." Damon said
"What are you doing?" Stefan asked his brother
"He's being a punk." Damon said
"Elena and Margaret's relationship with their brother is none of your business. So stay out of it!" Stefan said
"Oh, there's only one "do-gooder" role available. My bad. I'm sorry." Damon said
Damon laughs.
"Get over yourself. I know you're not doing this for the right reasons." Stefan said
"What are the right reasons, Stefan? Enlighten me, please!" Damon said
"Well, see Damon, it's only real when it comes from your desire to do the right thing for nothing in return, and I know that it is an entirely foreign concept to you. I completely understand that you wouldn't get it." Stefan said
1Night.
Both Margaret and her mother is walking on the sidewalk. Margaret sensing a lot of vampires. They stopped.
"Sweetie, what is it?" Elizabeth asked her daughter
"A lot of vampires. (Damon approaches to them. He holds Margarets hand.) What are you doing?" Margaret asked Damon
"Saving your life." Damon said
"They want revenge on the founding families." Elizabeth said
"They're their target." Damon said
"I have to find Jeremy." Margaret said
Town Square.
Both Margaret and Stefan falls.
"What's going on? What's happening?" Elena asked both her sister and Stefan
"It hurts." Margaret said
"Come on!" Elizabeth said
Both Elizabeth and Elena help Stefan and Margaret up. They go toward the stairs. Alaric finds them.
"They just dropped." Elena said
"Yeah, they're not the only ones. The cops have gotten everyone who's gone down, injecting them with vervain." Alaric said
"They're rounding up the vampires." Elena said
"My daughter isn't a vampire." Elizabeth said
"Are you guys okay?" Elena asked both Stefan and her sister
"It was like needles were piercing my skull and it just stopped." Stefan said
"Easy for you to say. Mine felt a scatter." Margaret said
"They're taking them to your family's old building." Alaric said
"It's the Gilbert's device. It has to be." Stefan said
"But how did he get it to work? Bonnie unspelled it." Elena said
"What if she didn't? She knew about the jewelry that Emily made. Blocking my telepathy. She was using the same spell." Margaret said
"We asked Bonnie to deactivate a device that could protect people against vampires. And the part angels." Stefan said
"Which means Damon..." Elizabeth said as her daughter finishes her sentence
"Is with the others." Margaret said
"Can you get Jeremy, take him home?" Elena asked Alaric
"Of course." Alaric said
"I need you to go with them." Margaret said
"You're my daughter. I'm supposed to be protecting you." Elizabeth said
"I know. Just go!" Margaret said
Both Alaric and Elizabeth leaves.
"Let's go." Elena said
Margaret, Elena and Stefan are walking when suddenly Stefan hears the fire. Margaret sensing them.
"I can hear them. The building is on fire." Stefan said
"I can sense them too." Margaret said
They go toward John.
"If you're looking for Damon, he's with the rest of them. It's over for him." John said
"You're crazy!" Margaret said
"Why? Because I'm doing what should have been done a hundred and forty five years ago? This is the right thing. (Stefan is looking at the building. John looks at him.) Go ahead, you won't make it out. It'll save me the trouble of killing you myself." John said
Stefan looks at both Margaret and Elena.
"You two know the building well, is there another way in?" Stefan asked both Margaret and Elena
"Utility door, there's one around the side." Elena said
Stefan goes toward the building. Both Elena and Margaret follows him but John blocks their path.
"Take one more step and I'll alert those deputies that they missed a vampire." John said
"We're asking you not to." Elena said
"That doesn't mean anything to me." John said
"As our father, it should." Margaret said
Long pause, they look at each other.
"You two know." John said
"We didn't know for sure, now we do." Margaret said
They both looked at their father and goes toward the building.
Grayson Gilbert's Office.
Bonnie is looking at the building when Margaret and Elena arrives.
"You guys can't go in there!" Bonnie said
"Bonnie, what are you doing?" Elena asked Bonnie
"I'm sorry I lied to you both. (Bonnie catches Elena and Margarets arm, closes her eyes and begins to chant.) Ex spiritum intacullum, in terrum incendium, fes matos salvis adisdum! (The spirit intacullum, into a fire, Fes Matos saving adisdum!)" Bonnie continues to chant
"Bonnie, we've got to get in there!" Margaret said
Bonnie finishes her spell and looks at both Margaret and Elena.
"Bonnie...Bonnie, what is it? Are they gonna be okay?" Elena asked Bonnie
Both Stefan and Damon come out of the building. Both Margaret and Elena runs toward them.
Gilbert Residence.
Margaret arrives. She's holding her dress and sees Damon on the porch.
"I always have to sense every single time if a witch or a vampire is near me, right?" Margaret said
"I know." Damon said
"So, what are you doing here?" Margaret asked Damon
"Failed and feeble attempt at doing the right thing." Damon said
"What are you talking about?" Margaret asked again
"It's not important. Let me take this for you." Damon said
Damon takes Margarets stuff and sets it down.
"Thank you." Margaret thanking Damon
"I came to this town wanting to destroy it. Tonight, I found myself wanting to protect it. How does that happen? I'm not a hero. I don't do good. It's not in me." Damon said
"I believe that you are. Yes, you did some damning things in the past. But you're a hero." Margaret said
"Nah, it's reserved for you, my brother, your sister...and Bonnie...who, even though she has every reason to hate me, still helped Stefan save me." Damon said
"Why do you sound so surprised by all of this?" Margaret asked again
"Because she did it for you and for Elena. Which means that somewhere along the way, you decided that I was worth saving. And I wanted to thank you for that." Damon thanking Margaret
Damon kisses Margaret on the cheek; they look at each other. He hesitates and then tries to kiss her. But she stopped him.
"Damon I...I'm not my sister. I'm not Katherine and I'm not a doppelganger." Margaret said
"Wait. Hold on! Do you think I care about that? I don't. I care because I..." Damon said
Damon grabs her and they kiss passionately for a few seconds. She stops him again.
"I can't." Margaret said
Margaret grabs her stuff and goes into the house. She closes the door behind her. She touches her lips, shed a tear and run upstairs. She sees her brother asleep in his room. She goes to her room and dropped her stuff on the floor.
For awhile she was on her bed. She senses another vampire and gets off of her bed. She gets knocked out from behind and everything went black.
