"Ouch, this corset hurts," complains Kurt.
Emma chuckles. "Imagine if you had to dress like this every day."
Kurt chuckles. "I did that one time, remember?"

Everybody is preparing for Founders' Day at school. Nancy Abrams is supervising, but really is bossing everyone around.
"No, no, no, no, no! It's all wrong! The marching band should be in front of the Historic Society." She goes over to Sam. "Sam, get up on the float." She walks over to the Founders' Float. "Boys, I asked you to put chairs on the Founders' Float!" She goes over to the cheerleaders. "Ladies! Time to get on the float."
Blaine is walking around alone, waiting.
Puck arrives. "Look at you, all retro."
"What are you doing here?" asks Blaine as he's dressed in a period suit .
"Why wouldn't I be here? Hot Mama deactivated the Hummel invention, Terri is gone and its Founders' Day! I'm here to eat cotton candy and steal your boy."
"Don't start with me, Puck."
"Oh, you started this Blaine with that whole 'I'm insecure, leave Kurt alone' speech. I'm enjoying that."
"As long as you heard it."
"You have no sense of humor, Blaine."
"Actually, I've no sense of 'Puck humor'."
"Puck humor'? Hey look, I get it, I get it. I'm the better, hotter, superior choice and you're scared, now that Kristian is out of the picture, that I'm gonna turn all my attention to Kurt. But don't worry, Kurt is not Kristian."
"You're right, he's not."
Puck and Blaine see Kurt approaching. In his period suit, he looks strikingly like Kristian. He smiles at them and curtsies.

Finn is in his bedroom, putting his period suit on for Founders' Day. Anna arrives.
"Anna!"
"Look at you!"
"I know, it's stupid, huh? But, how are you? I've been so worried and I feel awful."
"Why? You didn't kill my mother, your uncle did."
"Are you sure it was him?"
"Who else would have done it?"
"He doesn't understand, Anna, it's who he is. He hates all vampires. He's just doing what he thinks is right."
"Are you defending him?"
"No, no way. It's just…I do understand where he's coming from. He's convinced all the tomb vampires want revenge on this town and he's just…he's trying to protect it."
"They do want revenge, or at least they did, but that's why we separated from them." Tears start to form in her eyes. "My mom wasn't after revenge; she just wanted her life back. I have to get out of this town, Finn."
"You're leaving?"
"I've been thinking…you could come with me. I could turn you. I mean…you said you wanted me to. Here." She gives him a vile with her blood. "It's my blood. If you die with it in your system, you'll come back."
"Anna…"
"I know you, what it's like for you…being alone, always feeling empty inside, no one to understand. But when you're a vampire, you don't have to feel that way. You can shut it off. I can show you how."
"I wanted to, I did." He turns away from Anna. She looks sad. "But I don't think I can. Sorry." He looks at the vile. When he looks up again, Anna is gone.

Kurt and Blaine are talking about Cooter being his father.
"Cooter?! Is that even possible?" asks Kurt.
"There is no proof, but he dated Terri when she was a teenager and he was the one who brought her to your dad's garage when her car broke down," explains Blaine.
"My whole life I've never liked this man. I…"
"Sorry, I'm sorry. I just…I wanted to tell you before Puck dropped it on you on some typically inappropriate way."
Kurt shakes his head. "No, I'm happy that you told me, I just…I really hope that it's not true. What I am supposed to do? Do I just…confront him and say, 'are you my biological father?'"
"I guess, when you're ready."
"I'm never gonna be ready. Blaine, I have enough problems with the family that I actually care about. Finn hates me, and, why wouldn't he? My journal gave him every single reason to."
"He's just hurt, he's confused."
"He's never going to forgive me for Rachel, for taking away his memories, for lying to him."
"He's your brother, he'll forgive you. Just give him some time."

Quinn is taking pictures with Sam and Mercedes before the Founders' Day Parade, in their Civil War costumes.
"Say cheese!" says Mercedes taking the picture.
"Oh wait! Hide your cast, it's not era-appropriate!" says Quinn to Sam.
"Seriously?" asks Sam.
"Yes!"
"Okay, fine."
Mercedes takes the picture, Artie arrives.
"I want one with Mercedes now."
"Here, I can take it," says Artie.
Sam gives him a look. "I'll be on the float." He walks away.
Artie looks at Quinn. "I said I was sorry!"
"You made out with his father and then you beat him to a pulp. You're gonna have to do a little bit better than sorry." She looks at him and leaves.

Kurt is running after Finn. "Finn! I was wondering where you were. You look great, and you guys did a really great job on the float."
"Go away, Kurt."
"Finn, come on! Please! I don't want it to be like this between us."
"Why don't you have Puck erase my memory again? Then I could go back to being your in-the-dark older brother."
Kurt tries to touch his arm. "Finn, please."
Finn jerks away. "Just don't! You can't fix this that easily; something like this doesn't just get fixed." He looks at him and leaves.

"Let's give a big hand to the William McKinley High School Marching Band!"
The marching band parades, everyone applauds and screams.
"And for a little local history, Mr. Schuester's students have recreated Lima's Battle of Willow Creek."
The float arrives in the street. Artie is on it. He waves to the crowd and pretends to shoot at the other guys on the float.
"Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome our wonderful Mr. and Mrs. Lima Court and their magnificent escorts."
Kurt, Blaine, Mercedes, Finn, Quinn and Sam, and the rest of the Court and their escorts are on the float; they laugh and wave to the crowd.
"This is Thomas Fell and Quinn Fabray, Mr. and Mrs. Lima. Aren't they stunning?"
Cheers and applause ensues. The float for the football team arrives.
"Let's cheer for the William McKinley High School football team. Alright! Let's show them our support, everybody!"

Cooter is with Mayor Abrams in Burt's office, he's preparing the device. "This is the key. Once inserted, the device will be activated. It will work only once, for an estimated time of 5 minutes."
"Yes, how does it work?"
"It's a high-pitched frequency that humans can't hear. Any vampires within a five-block radius will be incapacitated, exposing them. At that time, the sheriff's deputies will inject them with vervain and bring them here, when we will finish them off."
"And you're certain they're attacking tonight?"
"I have a source. One of the vampires from the tomb confirmed the attack."

Kurt, Blaine, Mercedes, Finn, Quinn and Sam all walk off their float. Puck comes up and grabs Mercedes' hand to help her down.
She gives him a look. "What do you want?"
"Just enjoying the parade." She begins to leave. "Where are you going?"
"Away from you."
"I wanna say something to you."
"Just leave me alone!"
"Thank you. The device that Emily spelled could have killed me. I don't take what you did lightly so…thank you."
"I did it for Kurt."
"I know that, but I'm still very grateful. And…I owe you."
They look at each other for a moment.
"Enjoy the parade." He leaves.

The vampires from the tomb are having a meeting in a secluded corner. The leader is speaking and pointing at a map of the Town Square. "Everybody listen up! The plan stays the same. We wait until the firework start; until then, we blend in. Stay a part of the celebration; they'll never see us coming." The leader is showing the other vampires a plan of the Lima's Town Square. "This area here is the stage. This is where the Founding Families are gonna be. Any questions?" Anna arrives. "Anna? What are you doing here?"

Cooter is still talking to Mayor Abrams and Sheriff Fabray at the office. "They want revenge for what our ancestors did in 1864. It makes us their target."
"We're taking an enormous risk. We're talking about our families, Cooter!" yells Mayor Abrams.
"This is the only way to draw them out and kill them…all of them."

Puck is standing alone at Breadstix. Kurt arrives, and Puck looks at him. Kurt has changed back into his modern clothes.
"I like you better like this. The period look, it…didn't suit you," notices Puck.
"Is that an insult?" asks Kurt.
"Actually Kurt, it is a compliment of the highest order."
"Look, I know Blaine is worried about our…friendship."
"Did he mention something to you too?"
"No, did he mention something to you?"
"No, nothing worth repeating."
"So, I think you should stop with the flirty little comments and that eye thing that you do."
Puck smiling and doing the eye thing. "What eye thing?"
"Don't make me regret being your friend okay?"
He seems hurt. Kurt looks at Finn who's sitting alone. He goes towards Finn. Puck looks at them.
"Look Finn, I don't believe that we can't fix this. I lied, I was wrong. But you're my brother, Finn, and I love you, and I have to fix it. So just tell me, what can I do?" asks Kurt.
"You go to hell, Kurt."
He gets up and leaves. Puck looks after him. Finn is walking outside, and Puck appears walking behind him.
Puck starts mocking Finn. "'I have so many emotions, but I don't have any way to express them. Being a teenager is so hard!'"
"You're a dick!"
"You do not talk to me like that! I'm not your brother. And for now on," Puck grabs Finn's arm. "Don't talk to your brother that way either."
"So, you're going to kill me just 'cause I hurt Kurt's feelings?"
"Cut him some slack."
"He erased my memories."
"No, I did! He was protecting you."
"It wasn't his call to make." He tries to leave but Puck grabs his arm and pulls him back roughly. "Let go of me before I cause a scene."
"You'll be unconscious before you even got a word out."
Blaine arrives. "Let him go." Puck releases him. Blaine puts himself between them and looks at Finn. "Are you alright?"
"Yeah."
"What my brother is trying to say is, don't blame Kurt for this. Puck turned Rachel, I killed her. She was a threat to you, and she was a threat to your brother. I'm sorry that it happened, I wish that it hadn't."
Puck looks at Blaine.
"You shouldn't have made me forget," says Finn. He leaves.
Puck turn to Blaine. "Good cop, bad cop. I like it."
"What are you doing?" asks Blaine.
"He's being a punk."
"Kurt's relationship with Finn is none of your business. So, stay out of it!"
"Oh, there's only one 'do-gooder' role available. My bad. I'm sorry." He laughs.
"Get over yourself. We both know you're not doing this for the right reasons."
"You see, there you go with that little jealousy act again. What are the right reasons, Eggs Benedict? Enlighten me, please!"
"Well, see Puck, 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." He looks at him and leaves.

Sheriff Fabray is talking with Cooter and Mayor Abrams.
"You want to use our town as bait? It's too dangerous, it's insane!" reasons the Sheriff. She closes the door.
"We've gone over the plans with all your deputies, they're all on board," says the mayor.
"You've gone behind my back?"
"Yeah, because we knew this is exactly how you'd react."
"Our children are here."
"Liz, we need to do this. We have no choice; this is the reason for the Secret Council. Our founding fathers created the Secret Council for just this purpose!" says Cooter.
They all look at each other.
"I'm the Sheriff, it's my call and I say no."
"Richard, let me speak to the Sheriff alone," says Cooter.
He looks at them and leaves.
"Cooter, you're not thinking clearly. I'm not gonna change my mind about this."
She turns her back and goes toward her desk. Cooter hits her behind the head. She's unconscious. He removes her gun belt and handcuffs her to the radiator and leaves.

It's night, Puck is looking and walking around in the town square, when he runs into Anna. "You're still around?"
"There's something you need to know. The vampires from the tomb are planning an attack tonight."
"How do you know this?"
"I went to them. They think I'm with them, but I'm not. They want the Founding Families dead."
"When is this supposed to happen?"
"When the firework start."
Puck realizes. "Cooter Hummel wants to use that invention on them."
"Then we can't be here!"
"It doesn't work, it's been deactivated."
"Well, then a lot of people are gonna die."
"Where are they right now?"
"They're already here, Puck."
The tomb vampires are meeting in front of a building. "Remember, we don't know which of them ingests vervain. It's not about the feed, it's about the kill. You know what to do," says the leader. They walk into the crowd and disperse.
Puck is walking toward Will. "Will!"
"Yeah?"
"You keep those nifty little vampire darts in the car?"
"Yeah, why do you ask?"
"Because this square is crawling with tomb vampires. I think we might need a stake or two."
"Yeah, got it."
Will leaves, Puck sees Blaine and Kurt. He goes toward them and takes Kurt's hand.
"What are you doing?" asks Kurt.
"Saving your life. Fifteen words or less…Tomb vamps are here. Founding families are their target." He looks to Blaine. "Get him out of here, now!" Puck starts to leave.
"Wait, where are you going?"
"That's more than fifteen words, Blaine." He leaves.
"Wait, Finn is out here somewhere," says Kurt.
"Let's go find him, come on!"

Artie is sitting by himself at a table at Breadstix. Sam and Quinn are sitting at a table, they look at him.
"There was this time, freshman year, when 'Cedes and I were in a fight and we swore that we would never talk again," says Quinn.
"Quinn, give it a rest," replies Sam.
Mayor Abrams arrives. He goes toward Artie. "What are you doing here? I told you to go home."
"I decided not to," replies Artie.
He grabs Artie's arm and begins to shout. "If I tell you to do something, you do it!"
"Let go of me!"
Quinn arrives. "Mayor, is everything okay?"
Sam arrives too; the Mayor looks at them.
"Please Artie, I need you to go home, now. Take your friends with you."
"Why? What's going on?" asks Sam.
"I can't explain. All of you need to get home, now. Please."
Artie looks worried. "Yeah, okay."
"You have your car, right?"
"It's out back."
"Quinn, Sam go with him."
They look at the Mayor and leave.
Finn is in front of the restrooms. "Anna what are you doing here? My uncle could see you."
Anna goes toward him. "I don't care about that. I needed to find you. Come here."
They go in the restroom.
