Finn is on the phone leaving a voicemail for Anna. "Hey Anna. Where are you? What's up? Uh…give me a call when you get this." Finn hangs up the phone.
"How is Anna? I like her, she has fire," says Emma walking into the kitchen.
Finn shrugs. "I don't know. She won't return my calls."
Cooter enters in the kitchen. "Girl trouble?"
"No, no trouble. Anna just owes me a call, that's it."
"Is that the girl that I saw with you at the Founders' pageant?" Finn nods. "You two were getting hot and heavy. When was the last time you saw her?"
"Why?" asks Finn, getting irritated.
Cooter holds up his hands. "I was just making conversation. No one else in this house likes me. At least I can talk to you. Especially if you need someone to talk to about girls."
"Oh please! I'm eating." Emma leaves the kitchen, disgusted with Cooter.
"So seriously, how well do you know Anna?"
"I know Anna extremely well."
"I want you to know that you can talk to me about anything. I'm here to answer any questions that you have, to help you in any way I can."
"Why?"
"Because Burt would want me to."
"I'm ah…I'm good." Finn leaves the kitchen.

Puck is shirtless and he's playing strip poker with Cherie at Terri's house. "Oh! Oh Cherie, you won again. I hope I'm wearing my good underwear." He gets up and begins to remove his belt.
Terri comes through the front door. "And it's just one blast from the past after another." Puck closes his fly. "Dégage, Cherie." Cherie gets up and leaves the room.
"It's good to see you, Terri. I was just having fun with your naughty little minion."
"How did you find me?"
Puck vamp-speed towards Terri. "Searched all the neighborhood bank-owned foreclosures and found the most expensive one."
"Oh, I should have known. You're the one who taught me that. What are you really doing here?"
"Well you caused quite a stir, you blew into town. Saw everyone except for the man who made you. I'm a little hurt." He leans in towards her.
"I'm so sorry." She twists Puck's head around at vamp-speed. "Did you bring the device?"
He disengages at vamp-speed. "Heh. Ow. What are you doing with Cooter Hummel?"
"We dated a few times when we were young. He was a little bit in love with me."
"I'm sure. One of many. Now, this little invention what do you want with it?"
"Oh, me personally? I don't want anything with it. I'm just doing what I'm told. You know Puck we're on the same side." Terri take's Puck's face in her hands.
"Oh yeah? What side is that?"
"Kristian's. He wants Cooter Hummel to have the device and I think that you know that he's not happy when he doesn't get what he wants."
Puck throws her off. "Why are you doing his dirty work?"
Terri puts her hands up in surrender. "Don't kill the messenger. We both know that you can't control Kristian. He does what he wants."
"So, do I."
"Oh, really Puck? You do?" She comes in closer to him. "What should we do now?"
They laugh and begin to kiss each other. They fall, vamp-speed, on the sofa.
Puck slams her on the floor at vamp-speed and holds her throat down. "Now that I have your attention, listen up. You do not come into my town; threaten the people I care about. Going after Kurt? Bad move. You leave him alone or I will rip you to bits because I do believe in killing the messenger. You know why?" He gets close to her ear. "Because it sends a message." He slams her head against the floor. "Kristian wants something from me? You tell that little bitch to come get it himself."

The next morning, as Kurt is walking down the stairs, someone knocks on the door. He opens the door. "Hi."
"Hey. I couldn't sleep last night. You were obviously upset about something and I just walked away," says Mercedes, ashamed of herself. "It's not me. That can't be us. You're my best friend, Kurt. If you need me, I'm here for you and I'm sorry I couldn't show you that yesterday."
"I met my birth mother."
"Oh. Was it...are you okay?"
Kurt cries and shakes his head. Mercedes embraces him.

At school, Sam is building the float. Artie arrives.
"Hey man. So, Quinn tells me you've been on your own for the past two weeks. Is everything okay?" asks Artie, trying to be a good friend.
"You're asking me about my dad. Seriously? Look, man, why don't I just tell him to give you a call when he comes back to town?"
"Dude, that's not what I meant okay? I'm just trying to…" Artie sighs. "I don't know what to say."
"Good, don't say anything. You're a dick, end of the story." Sam leaves.
"I know," says Artie softly.

In a classroom, Mercedes is leafing through Emily's spell book. Kurt enters the room.
"Hey! Thanks for meeting me. I wanted you to see this," says Mercedes when she sees Kurt walk through the door.
"Is that Emily's spell book?" asks Kurt.
"I've been going through it since Grams died. Check this out." She shows him the book.
"That's the vampire compass."
"Yeah, according to Emily, Jonathan Hummel never actually succeeded in inventing anything. Emily secretly spelled them all with magic. Compass, rings and the mystery device you told me about." She shows him a page from the book. The device is designed.
"Yeah that's it. Well, a part of it. Puck only has the one piece."
"Emily pledged her loyalty to Kristian. But she couldn't stand by and watch innocent people get killed. This was the only way she could think of to help. To let Jonathan Hummel believe that he'd actually invented these devices."
"Does it say what it does?"
Mercedes reads the page. "Are you sure this is what Terri wants?"
"Yeah, I'm sure. Why?"
"This is a weapon. Against vampires."
Kurt is surprised.

Outside, Finn is walking and sees Kurt. "Kurt!"
"Hey, have you seen Blaine? I need to find him."
"No, not lately. Listen, do you have a second?"
"Yeah. What's up?"
"Well, it's Anna. I've left her all these messages and she hasn't gotten back to me, not even a text."
"Anna? I didn't know that you guys were still friends."
"We're more than friends. Look, something could be seriously wrong and if you know anything you've got to tell me."
"I haven't talked to her, Finn."
"Are you lying to me right now?"
"Why do you say that?"
"'Cause that's what you do. Lie. You lie about everything. I know what Anna is and I know that you know. So, tell me, do you have any idea where she is?"
"No, but Finn…" Finn storms away from Kurt. "Finn wait! Finn!" He turns around and Terri is standing right behind him. "Terri. What are you doing here?"
"I'm your mother, Kurt. I want to be more involved in your life."
"I don't want you in my life."
"I understand that. You already have a lot of people that you care about, but I've been studying. Let's see if I got this right." She looks at Mercedes. "There is the witchy best friend, Mercedes. Gonna stay away from that whale." Kurt has a disgusted look on his face. Terri looks at Finn. "Oh…sad older brother Finn." She watches Quinn. "And there's Quinn…obnoxious Quinn. I got all my info from her by the way. She had no idea who I was and she wouldn't shut up. Oh…" She looks at Sam. "And there's Sam; friend, ex. Yappy's future ex. Lots of connections there."
"Sam is not involved in this."
"He's involved with you, isn't he?"
"Look, you shouldn't be here. You need to leave."
"No, I have some friends here too. Look, you see that man over here, standing next to Sam by the float? His name is Frank, he's very handsome and he's also quite handy and he's noticed that the axles are a little rusty which is very dangerous. So, all you have to do is apply a little bit of pressure and…"
"No!" yells Kurt.
Frank jumps on the trailer above Sam. Sam's arm gets crushed. Kurt tries to run for him, Terri grabs him.
"Get the trailer! Come on guys help me!" yells Sam.
Artie rolls over as fast he can to help him with some friends. They try to get the trailer up, but it's not budging. Blaine arrives to help lift. They get the trailer off Sam's arm and he gets free. Quinn rushes over.
"Quinn, call an ambulance," instructs Blaine.
"Why are you doing this?" asks Kurt.
"I'm showing you how easy it is to hurt the people that you care about," replies Terri simply.
"And you're doing this just because of Jonathan Hummel's invention?"
"Hand it over and it will all stop."
"I told you, Puck is not going to give it to me."
"I think that you underestimate how much Puck cares about you."
"He'll kill you before he gives it up."
"Is that before or after I kill Finn?"
Kurt turns to see Finn. He has disappeared. "Finn?" Blaine looks at him. "Finn?!" Kurt looks everywhere. Terri is gone too.
"The ambulance is saying in 15-20 minutes," Quinn informs them.
"I have my car. I can take him to the hospital," says Artie. "I just need help getting into my car."
"Quinn can take me," says Sam.
"I didn't drive," says Quinn.
"I'll wait. It's fine," Sam says, really not wanting to be in car with Artie.
"You will not wait okay?! You need to see a doctor, Artie is driving. End of story."
"Fine!" yells Sam.
"Go!" yells Quinn.
"Come on, guys," says Artie starting to roll away.

Cooter arrives at Terri's and enters in the house. There's a lot of suitcases in the entryway.
"I see you're packing. That's a good sign," notices Cooter.
"It won't be long now," replies Terri.
"Did you get the missing piece? Where is it?"
"I don't have it yet."
"Then, why did you call me here?"
Terri goes into the living room and Cooter follows her. "Because I have the next best thing." Finn is sitting in chair. Cherie and Frank are guarding him.
"What the hell are you doing?"
"Getting what I want."
"Yeah, but he's my nephew and you're going let him go right this second!"
"That gaudy ring on your finger comes off."
"Come on Terri, I know you okay? It's me Cooter. You can't hurt a kid."
"I'll kill him to prove you wrong."
"Really? Are you that far gone? Look, I know you've changed, but the old Terri is somewhere in there, isn't she? Come on let him go."
"Faites le souffrir," says Terri to her minions. Cherie and Franck beat Cooter and throw him on the floor.
Terri catches his hand and removes his ring. "Nice try. We'll see how you do without this. Terri leaves the room. Finn looks at Cooter, who's on the floor, bleeding.

Back in Will's classroom, Blaine has joined to conversation between Mercedes and Kurt.
"Where is the device?" asks Mercedes.
"Puck has it. He's going to be difficult to reason with," answers Blaine.
"We'll go to him. I'll talk to him," says Kurt.
"He's not just gonna hand it over, especially if it's harmful to vampires," says Blaine.
"What if it's not?" asks Kurt.
Kurt, Mercedes and Blaine look at each other.
NKB~NKB~NKB~NKB~NKB
Puck, Kurt, Mercedes, and Blaine are all in the boarding house living room.
"Absolutely fucking not!" yells Puck
"Just hear me out," says Kurt.
"I'm not gonna give the device to Terri so she could give it to Cooter who is going to turn it to kill me. I like being a living dead person," reasons Puck.
"But it'll be useless, Mercy can take its power away," explains Kurt.
"I don't trust her," says Puck.
"I can remove the original spell," says Mercedes.
"Cooter and Terri will never know," says Kurt.
"No, I'll get Finn in my own way," says Puck.
"Really? How are you going to do that? Because Terri is a vampire and Finn could be dead the second you walk in the door," reasons Blaine.
Puck turns to Mercedes. "Are you even up for this? I mean no offense, you're no Emily Jones. Emily knew what she was doing."
"I've been practicing," Mercedes informs him.
"It's not piano lessons, Hot Mama."
"What's your favorite record?"
"What?"
"Name a record, any record."
"Name a record…how about "1984", Van Halen?
Mercedes turns and looks at the records stack. A record flies and lands in Puck's hands.
Puck looks at the record. "Van Halen. Great magic trick."
"We're doing this, Puck. And we're doing it my way. Now give me the device," says Kurt. Puck hesitates. "We're wasting time!"
Puck turns back to Mercedes. "I don't trust you, I tried to kill you."
"You're right, you can't trust me," replies Mercedes.
"But you can trust me," says Kurt. Puck looks at him. Blaine looks at both of them. Puck gives him the device. Blaine looks at him. Kurt sighs. "Thank you."

Cooter is still lying on the floor at Terri's.
Finn comes back from the kitchen with a towel. "Here you go." He gives him the towel.
Cooter sits up and takes the towel. "Thank you."
"What is she after?"
"Your ancestor invented a weapon, a device that's extremely harmful to vampires and we've been trying to get it."
"Why?"
"Because there's a group of vampires from a long time ago that wants revenge on this town."
"But why would a vampire help you kill other vampires?"
"She has her own reasons for wanting them dead. Look Finn, no one ever thought vampires would return to this town. Not in modern times, but they have and we have to destroy them."
"All of them? No, there are some good ones out there."
"There's no such things."
"I don't believe that."
"Well, Burt did. And as his son that should mean something to you."
"How did Burt know about all this?"
"Who do you think told me about the family history?"

Emily's spell book is open on the table. The device is next to it. Mercedes begins the spell. Puck, Kurt and Blaine watch her. The lights flicker. There's a whoosh of air and everything stops.
"Done," says Mercedes. She gives the device to Kurt.
"Great, now what?" asks Puck.
"Now we give it to Terri," answers Kurt.
NKB~NKB~NKB~NKB~NKB
In the town square, Kurt is waiting for Terri.
Terri arrives behind him. "Where is the device?"
"Where is my brother?"
"This isn't a negotiation. Where is the invention?"
Kurt stands his ground. "Where is my brother?"
"Do you really think that I came alone?"
Frank and Cherie arrives behind Kurt.
"Did you really think that I came alone?"
Puck, Mercedes, and Blaine arrive behind Terri.
She looks at them. "For god sakes, call home."
"What?"
"Call home and ask to speak to Finn."
Kurt takes out his phone and calls home.
"Hello?" answers Finn.
"Finn, are you okay?" asks Kurt.
"Yeah, yeah I'm fine, Uncle Cooter hit his head. It was an accident," explains Finn.
"We're all laughing," says Emma.
"But, yeah, I'm okay."
"I'll be home soon, alright?"
"Yeah." He hangs up the phone and looks at his uncle.
Kurt hangs up. "You were never gonna hurt him."
"No, I was going to kill him," Terri says plainly. "Don't look for any redeeming qualities in me. I don't have any."
"But you took a risk with Puck. How did you know that he was gonna give it to me?"
"Because he's in love with you."
Puck looks at Blaine, he looks uncomfortable. Blaine seems upset.
Kurt gives the device to Terri. "Thank you."
"For what?"
"For being such a monumental disappointment. It keeps the memory of my mothers perfectly intact."
"Goodbye, Kurt." She starts to turn away. "Also, as long as you have an Anderson on each arm, you're doomed. Kristian was smart. He got out. But we all know that you're not Kristian." Terri looks at him and leaves. Blaine goes over to Kurt and hugs him. Kurt looks at Puck. Then, Mercedes gives Kurt a hug. Blaine looks at Puck. Puck looks down and leaves. Blaine looks after him.

Finn leaves another message to Anna.
Kurt enters in Finn's room. "Finn, we have to talk about all this."
"No, we really don't."
"I don't know what Anna told you but there are things that you need to know."
"Yeah? Because I'm pretty sure that your journal covered it."
"You read my journal?"
"And save me the speech about invasion of privacy, because I read a section about Puck erasing my memory, about what happened to Rachel."
"Finn, please, you don't understand. The night that Rachel died, it was like Carole and Dad died all over again. It was all over your face and it hurt so much to see you like that. I just wanted to take away your pain. I'm so sorry."
"Get out!"
"No, Finn!"
"Kurt! Just get out. Please."
He leaves the room and then he turns around. "Finn, I…" Finn closes the door in his face.

Will is in an empty school hallway. Terri is waiting for him.
"What do you want?" asks Will.
"I totally get it, you, here as a history teacher. It's good," replies Terri.
"What the hell are you doing? You act like you don't care and yet here you are hunting me down."
"I'm leaving. I just thought I'd say goodbye."
"You couldn't be bothered the first time so why now?"
"You hate me. Good."
"Does that make it easier for you? I mean what is the whole point of this exercise?"
"What did you expect? You spent all this time trying to track me down. What did you think you would find?"
"The woman who gave me this…" He shows her the ring. "I mean you act like you don't care but you care enough to protect me after you left."
"I was a different person back then."
"Right! And that person is gone. The woman that I married, the woman I loved, she's just…she's gone." He removes his ring and throws it at her. "You expect me to believe that?" He throws the vervain on the floor.
"What are you doing?"
"Well, I'm ring free, I'm vervain free. So, either kill me or compel me, because I don't believe it. Not for a second."
Terri pushes him against the wall. "I wanted this. I needed this. And I'm going to regret it forever. This was my mistake, not yours." She compels him. "You're not going to remember this. I loved you, I did and when I think about what I gave up it hurts. But now your heart is free of me, it's easier this way. Goodbye Will." She puts the ring on his finger. She touches his face and leaves. A moment later Will seems to come out of a trance.

Finn is starting to go to bed when Anna appears.
"Anna? What are you doing here?"
Anna is crying "My mother. She's dead."
"What?"
"She was killed."
"Oh, my god, Anna." He embraces her. "I'm so sorry."
"I know I'm not supposed to be here but I don't have anywhere else to go."
He kisses her head. "It's okay."

Puck is pouring himself a glass of scotch. Blaine arrives.
"Would you like one? Say it, whatever it is, purge, get it out," says Puck.
"It's about what Terri said."
"What about?"
"Well, I know that you and Kurt have bonded and I know that he cares about you and I know you care about him."
"Well, this is going in an interesting direction."
"I'm just concerned about Kurt being hurt. He considers you a friend."
"Same here. Kurt is a very good friend. Actually, he might qualify as my only friend. Is that a problem?"
"So, at the risk of sounding like uh…like a jealous boyfriend."
"You do."
"History will not be repeating itself where Kurt is concerned. Do you understand what I'm saying?"
"Sure. Sure."
Blaine runs toward him at vamp-speed. "Do you understand?"
"Whatever you say dude. I mean, honestly, we're just friends and as a friend I wasn't looking forward to telling him the truth anyway so, I'll let you do it."
"What truth?"
"About Cooter. Because I know you guys don't like to keep secrets from each other."
"What are you talking about?"
"As dumb as you think I am, how am I the only one who has the ability to put two and two together? Terri! Hello? She dated Cooter when she was 15; she gets pregnant and stranded and ends up at the garage of Cooter's brother. Now, what do you think Cooter's role is in all this? I mean, go ahead, and think about it, I'll wait. You there yet?"
"So, you think that Cooter is Kurt's father?"
"Ding, ding, ding, ding!"
"What proof do you have?"
"I don't need any proof, that's a DNA test for Cooter, Kurt, and the bitch to deal with, but I know how well you deal with these bombs so…sleep tight." He leaves the room. "Oh, and when you do tell Kurt and he needs a friend to talk to about anything, I'm here for him." He leaves.

Cooter is on the couch, his phone rings.
"Hello?" answers Cooter.
"On your doorstep, you'll find what you've been looking for," says Terri on the end.
"And my ring?"
"Don't screw this up. You know what you have to do, Cooter."
He opens the door and pick up the envelope. "I got it. I won't fail." He opens the envelope.
"You better not. Kristian wants all of those tomb vampires dead, and I want to add two more to that list."
He retrieves his ring and puts it on his finger. "Let me guess."
"Blaine and Puck. I don't want this life for him."
"That was always part of the plan. Consider them gone."
"He's our son, Cooter. We owe that to him."
"I know." He hangs up the phone.

Quinn and Mercedes are a table at the Lima Bean.
"So, you're not going to tell me what happened?" asks Quinn.
"I did something bad, Quinn, and I lied about it."
"To who?"
"To Kurt. I pretended to do something I didn't really do."
"What are you talking about?"
"I couldn't do what he wanted me to do. It wasn't right. Grams would have never done it, so I couldn't either. But when Kurt finds out, he's never gonna forgive me."
