Sally's Dream

Day - Mystic Falls Cemetery

(Song:) Whispers - Dave Baxter

Sally walked alone through the cemetery, carrying a bouquet of flowers. She came to a stop in front of Derek's headstone.

Derek Jackson - Brother and Friend

"Hey, Derek." Sally told him, crying silently, kneeling to the ground, placing the flowers on his grave. "You know, I was-I was thinking about the last thing I said to you. 'You love it'. Totally lame last thing to say to someone. That wasn't a goodbye, Derek. You-you were supposed to pull through it. You... you promised I'd see you again."

She heard Derek's voice. "Sally."

Sally smiled with excited hope. "Derek?"

Sally turned to see Derek standing behind her, slowly standing.

(Song Ends)

"Wake up." Derek told her.

"How are you here?" Sally asked.

"Lindsey, wake up." Derek told her urgently.

"I don't understand." Sally admitted.

"Open your eyes." Derek told her, gripping her arms gently. "Sally, open your eyes!"

...

Reality

Night - Bennett House - Living Room

Sally was lying on the couch, opening her eyes.

The blanket covering her was on fire.

Sally was in shock. "Oh, my God."

Sally waved her arm over the flames, using her magic to extinguish the fire, looking confused and horrified.

Bonnie was standing in the doorway. "You had a dream about him, did you? Derek?"

"How did you..." Sally trailed off, unable to finish.

"Because I had a dream about my Grams." Bonnie answered.

Sally and Bonnie looked at each other nervously.

...

Day Two

Morning - Salvatore Boarding House - Living Room

(Song:) Bottled Up Tight - Luke Sital-Singh

Stefan and Damon were playing catch with a football across their living room.

"So how long's it been?" Damon asked. "Eight, nine days?"

"Yeah, eight or nine days." Stefan answered. "I don't know. I lost count."

"If we lost count of the consecutive days in which Morgana Mikealson and Elena Gilbert have not killed anyone, I'd say that's progress, brother." Damon told him, tossing him the football.

Stefan caught it.

...

Emma's Room

Emma was dressed in workout clothing, having gloves covering her hands and her hair pulled back into a ponytail, continuously beating the punching bag in front of her.

Isabella was standing in the doorway. "If you think that this is going to convince everybody that you're not in danger of becoming an official, supernatural vampire Hunter than can't control her own instincts, you are wrong."

"Just blowing off some steam." Emma told her.

"Yeah, I can see that." Isabella told her, walking closer. "What's on your mind, Em?"

"Nothing." Emma told her.

"Oh, come on." Isabella told her, standing behind the bag, holding it still for her. "Don't give me that crap. You're frustrated, blowing off some steam. My guess is because you're still thinking about what went down in Willoughby."

Emma didn't answer, punching the bag harder than before, elbowing it.

...

Living Room

Stefan and Damon were still tossing the football.

"So what are we gonna do, just, uh, throw the football around for another 150 years till Morgana and Elena get their humanity back?" Stefan asked. "Because I'm cool with that."

"Morgana doesn't want the Cure." Damon told him. "She's gonna start killing people if she knows we're still trying to get it for her."

"All right." Stefan told him. "We could always, uh, make her want it."

...

Emma's Room

Emma continued to beat the bag in front of her.

Isabella continued to hold it still for her.

"You sure that Klaus was telling Elizabeth the truth when he told you that Evelyn's and Morgana's humanity switch is fading and that they'll be back to normal soon?" Emma asked.

"Yeah." Isabella answered. "Yeah, Elizabeth believe him. He wouldn't lie to her about this. He just said that it could range from a couple of days to weeks for it to fade and for Eve to come back."

"Well, it's already been one week, Isabella." Emma told her. "How much longer are we supposed to wait?"

Emma continued punching the bag, harder than before.

"I don't know." Isabella told her. She looked at her knowingly. "You wanna talk about it?"

"What is there to talk about?" Emma asked. "I was used as leverage against Stefan and Damon. Again. Let's just say that I'm tired of it."

"What, and you think that doing this more could have improved your odds any?" Isabella asked. "Elijah is an Original, Em. There was nothing you could have done about it, even if you were the strongest vampire Hunter out there." Emma used more strength. Isabella smirked knowingly. "Oh... this isn't about the fact that Elijah used you to get to my brothers. This is about Elijah himself, isn't it? He got to you."

"More like I got to him." Emma told her, kicking the bag.

Isabella stumbled back. "Wow. Still, though. You two have some unresolved... issues."

"Like Elizabeth and Klaus?" Emma replied. "I mean, you The two of them broke through Esmeralda's mind control that made the two angry at each other, but they still have issues to work through."

"Don't try to turn this around on Elizabeth." Isabella told her. "We're trying to help you."

...

Living Room

Stefan and Damon were still playing catch.

"How are you gonna make an emotionless vampire want anything?" Damon asked.

"Get them to flip their humanity switch." Stefan told him.

"So what are we gonna do?" Damon asked. "Pull a Lexi and bombard them with emotions till one of them sticks?"

"Yeah." Stefan answered. "And if that doesn't work, then we go to Plan B. Lock them up, keep them sidelined until you and I figure out a Plan C."

"And what happens when they get slammed with every emotion they've repressed since Jeremy and Kol died?" Damon asked.

"Well, then you and I, my friend, will be right by their sides, ready to help them through it." Stefan answered, throwing the football toward him.

Damon caught it.

...

Emma's Room

Isabella was still holding the bag still for Emma while she worked out.

"I don't need your help." Emma told her.

"You don't need my help?" Isabella repeated, letting go of the bag, backing away toward Emma's desk. "Do I need to remind you of the thing that got you into this mess in the first place?" She picked up a letter from the desk. Emma paused in her exercise, turning to look at her. "You said that you burned this, and that you hated him, but he knew you were lying just by the sound of your heartbeat. And you just kept on and kept on because you wanted him to think that you hated him so you both could have a clean break. Did you forget that Elizabeth went through this first? It's not as easy as it looks, is it?"

"Drop it, Isabella." Emma told her, returning into her task of beating the bag in front of her.

"And what are you even using as motivation for this incredibly impressive work out?" Isabella asked. "Huh? Denial that you actually felt something for him? Anger that you let it happen? Shame that you got tricked like the rest of us? Or are you jealous that he's with Katherine instead of you."

Emma grew increasingly irritated, punching the back four times, grabbing it on both sides, kneeing it, letting it go, spinning around, kicking the bag with all the strength she had.

The tether that kept the bag suspended from the ceiling broke, letting the bag fall to the floor, sliding toward the wall.

Isabella turned her head to follow the bag with her gaze.

The bag hit the wall with a loud thump.

Emma exhaled.

...

Living Room

Stefan and Damon heard the noise, looking up at the ceiling in confused suspicion.

"Everything okay up there?" Stefan called.

"Yeah!" Isabella answered. "Em's having an existential crisis. No big deal!"

Damon shook his head. "I don't want to know." Stefan shook his head in agreement. Damon looked at him. "So. How do you wanna do this?"

(Song Ends)

...

Klaus' Mansion

Rebekah, Elijah, Klaus and Morgana were sitting at a table together.

"Elijah, being a human means a fresh start." Rebekah told him. "I can grow old and have a family and fill my days with meaning, knowing that each one matters."

Klaus laughed. "Well, that was poetic."

"Well, if you can provide us with a more compelling reason for wanting the Cure, Klaus, please." Elijah told him.

"Esmeralda can appear as anyone." Klaus told them. "She got inside my thoughts, convinced me I was dying. Made me and Elisaveta so angry at each other that we were willing to hurt each other, though it's something that we would never normally do. I almost killed Elisaveta because of Esmeralda. She mind controlled our sister and the supernatural residents of Mystic Falls to kill Finn and Kol. She needs to be cured, and she needs to be killed."

"Esmeralda is not the only immortal that we have to worry about." Morgana told them. "Silas wants this Cure, while Esmeralda does not. Esmeralda will more likely make us cure ourselves than let us cure her. And Silas will break down the wall to the Other Side. He will open the floodgates for every supernatural being that has ever died."

"Including our dear brothers, Kol and Finn, who Esmeralda had killed." Klaus replied. "We'll have our family back."

"Please, you hated Kol and you kept Finn in a box for most of his life." Morgana told him.

Klaus looked at Elijah. "Elijah, please."

"Esmeralda would never let you cure her, Niklaus." Elijah told him. "You said it yourself. She made you think that you were dying and nearly made you kill Elisaveta. You wouldn't have a chance at giving Esmeralda the Cure to kill her. I think our sister deserves a shot at happiness."

"Tell me you're joking." Klaus told him.

"I made my decision." Elijah told them.

Klaus swiftly stood, leaning down to speak into Rebekah's ear. "When you're sick and dying, and you beg for my blood, I will laugh in your face and compel you to forget me."

Klaus walked out of the room.

Rebekah remained carefully composed, touching her hair, clearing her throat, looking at Elijah. "Where is the Cure?"

"Rebekah, it's no secret that you are impulsive, emotional, and at times morally questionable." Elijah told her. "Prove to me this isn't just another one of your whims, that you know precisely what you are giving up here."

"Fine." Rebekah told him. "Anything."

Elijah looked at Morgana.

Morgana gestured for him to do whatever he wanted to do.

Elijah looked at Rebekah. "I want you to live a day as a human. This day. No vampire privileges. No strength, no compulsion, no nothing. If you succeed, if you still believe this is what you want, the Cure is yours." Rebekah was surprised, but released the tension in her body with resignation and accepted the challenge. Elijah looked at Morgana. "Morgana, as the only one in this family who doesn't have a biased view over the Cure since your acting emotionless, I leave it to you to keep it safe, and to give it to Rebekah if she succeeds."

Morgana looked bored and confused. "Why me?"

"Rebekah wants it for her humanity." Elijah told her. "I want it to spare Katerina an eternity of pain and paranoia. Niklaus wants it to cure Elena Gilbert and regain the ability to make his hybrids, or cure Esmeralda and kill her, which will only lead to him getting cured himself. You've said it before yourself. You don't care about what happens to it, as long as our brother does not get what he wants."

Elijah held the box with the Cure toward Morgana.

Morgana looked at it for a moment, sighing, leaning forward to take it. "I still don't see how any of you can think about this while our brother just died, who I helped kill. Remember, Kol, brunette hair, brown eyes, moody demeanor, has a passion for a baseball bat?"

"I know that you would rather give the Cure to Esmeralda so we can kill her, Morgana." Elijah told her. "In revenge for Kol and Finn. We all would. But we wouldn't be able to. She is too strong for us. All of us."

Morgana sighed, nodding. "I know. I hate to admit it, but she is too strong." She started to walk away. "I'm staying in town. I have a feeling I'm going to be alone."

Morgana walked out of the room, leaving.

Rebekah and Elijah looked at each other sadly.

...

Street

(Song:) Keep Together - Hunter Hunted

Elena, Rebekah and Morgana were walking down the sidewalk.

"You're gonna fail." Morgana told her. "You should be locking yourself inside all day, not shopping for prom."

"Name me a more human experience than the prom." Rebekah told her.

"Death." Morgana answered.

"Why should I listen to either of you?" Rebekah asked. "You don't even have your humanity."

"You realize you won't even be able to compel yourself a date, right?" Elena asked.

"Yes, and last time I checked you're both living in my Morgana's house 'cause we're the only ones that can tolerate either of you, so you don't have to be so rude." Rebekah told them.

"Then I want to come with you." Morgana told her. "Yeah, I'll keep an eye on you to make sure that you pass Elijah's test. As soon as you've gotten the Cure, it'll be gone for good and no one will be able to use it on me."

"Sounds good to me." Elena agreed, walking forward.

Morgana smiled, following her.

Rebekah followed them.

...

Dress Store

Bonnie, Sally and Liam were standing together alone.

Caroline was trying on a dress, coming out of a fitting room in a dress.

Liam looked at the witches. "What kind of dreams?"

"Usually, one of us is at one of their graves, and all of a sudden, they appear to us." Sally answered.

Caroline inspected herself in a three-way mirror. "Well, none of you got to say goodbye to any of them. You're grieving. That's normal."

"When we wake up, whatever we're sleeping on is on fire." Sally told them.

"Oh." Liam told them, turning to face the witches.

"I don't know if it's because we were emotional in our dreams, or if Shane was right." Bonnie told them. "Without his help, we'll lose control of our magic."

"No, it's because you need a night off from worrying and stressing," Caroline told them. She looked at Liam. "And you, need a night off of mourning. And I'm gonna make sure that all of you have it."

They smiled at each other.

"Um, you look super hot, by the way." Liam told her.

"You think?" Caroline asked.

"Oh, yeah." Liam answered.

Caroline smiled. "Yeah."

"Matt and I are gonna have the sexiest date there." Liam told her.

"What about us?" Sally asked teasingly, gesturing to Bonnie on one side of her.

"Go together, duh." Liam told them.

They giggled with each other.

"You know what, I love friend-prom." Caroline told them. "And it's exactly what prom should be. Friends and memories."

"Yep." Sally agreed.

"Yes, it sucks that my boyfriend can't be here, not because of some stupid rule from Klaus, but because of the pack that he's helping up in the mountains, but we are gonna have the night of our lives." Caroline told them.

The doorbell jingled as someone entered the shop.

Caroline looked up. Her smile faltered

Elena, Morgana and Rebekah walked in, walking toward them.

"Hey, Bonnie, Sally." Elena told them. "Heard you guys got your mind wiped, too. That sucks."

Morgana looked at Caroline's dress. "Pretty dress, Caroline."

(Song Ends)

"I know." Caroline told her. "You helped me pick it out months ago when we were friends. Before you guys tried to kill me."

Morgana crossed her arms over her chest. "I thought it looked familiar."

Bonnie looked at Morgana and Elena weirdly.

Morgana and Elena didn't react.

Caroline looked at the store clerk. "Can you press this for me? I'll pick it up later. Guys?"

They walked away.

Morgana watched them go slyly.

...

Night - Morgana's Mansion - Outside

Elena and Morgana walked together down the porch steps.

Elena was wearing a dark pink dress, strapless. a heart neckline, different shades of pink blending together. Her hair was in a half-up-do.

Morgana was wearing the dress Caroline had wanted. Her blonde hair was pulled to the side.

Elena smiled. "Caroline's gonna hate you for stealing her dress."

"And I should care why?" Morgana asked. Elena chuckled. A limo drove up. Stefan got out with a bouquet of flowers. Morgana stopped walking. "We don't need a babysitter."

"Really?" Stefan asked. "Because the last time I saw you, you snapped a waitress' spine."

"Got you to stop your search for the Cure, didn't it?" Morgana replied.

Elena turned around, starting to walk away.

Damon appeared in front of Elena. "Yep. We're just here to make sure you hold up your end of the deal. Don't eat the prom queen." He pointed at the girls reprovingly. He held a bouquet of flowers toward Elena. Elena took them, smelling them. Damon looked at Morgana, offering a wrist corsage. "May I?"

"No." Morgana answered.

Damon looked at Stefan.

Stefan nodded.

Damon grabbed Morgana's wrist, shoving the corsage onto it. "Wow, would you look at that. Aw. Beautiful dresses."

"Thank you." Elena told them. "I stole mine."

"And I killed for mine when it wasn't even for me." Morgana told them.

Morgana turned around.

Stefan held his bouquet toward her.

Morgana took them, getting inside. Elena slid in next to her.

Stefan and Damon were still processing the statements.

...

Prom - Outside

(Song:) Pictures of You - Elizabeth Harper & The Matinee

Elena, Damon, Morgana and Stefan walked down the red carpet toward the entrance, their arms linked. The path was lined with screens playing slideshows of photographs.

"Where's the disco ball?" Damon asked.

"Evelyn and Caroline have been working on this for a while." Stefan told them. "It's a, uh, photo-yearbook of the senior class." They stopped in front of one of the screens. Stefan looked at Elena. "Isn't that photo from, uh, the first day of freshman year?"

Morgana and Elena stopped to look at it.

It was a picture of Elena and Emma, smiling in the car.

"Our mom took that when she dropped us off at school." Elena told them.

Damon nodded to Stefan.

The picture slowly faded to another picture.

Elena, Jeremy, Emma and Elizabeth standing together, all of them smiling. Emma was on Jeremy's back, smiling widely. Jeremy looked to be carrying her on his back, smiling. Elizabeth had her arms crossed over her chest with a smile.

Morgana removed her jacket. "I'm gonna get a seizure if I keep staring at these screens."

Morgana walked away quickly.

(Song:) Desert Song - Hot As Sun

Everyone was in former attire, dancing to the dance music, mingling.

Matt and Liam were walking together.

"Why do I feel like we're at a practice run of Caroline's wedding?" Matt asked.

"Because we are." Liam answered.

They laughed together.

...

Elsewhere

Bonnie and Sally walked into the prom together, slowing to a stop.

"Anyone else think that we should be having more fun?" Bonnie asked. Sally laughed. "I mean, this is prom."

"For you, it should be." Sally agreed. "Since it'll be your last one."

Bonnie looked to Sally. "But you're still a sophomore. You'll have not two, but three of these."

"Yeah, and we're only here now because we're stronger together." Sally told her. "That way, Silas can't get to us as easily as he did before. So, I'm pretty sure that I won't go to those."

Bonnie sighed. "Then we should probably make the best of it, shouldn't we?"

The two girls smiled, continuing to walk forward.

...

Elsewhere

Elena went to take a sip from a flask.

Damon swooped in, snatched it from her, proceeding to take a sip. "You are underage."

"You're overage, and honestly, it's kind of creepy." Elena told him.

"Oh, come on." Damon told her. "What badass senior's complete without a prom date that's slightly too old for high school?"

Elena took the flask back. "Please don't refer to yourself as my date."

Damon smirked. "Oh, I'm sorry. Your... boyfriend." Elena gave him a look. "Something I said?"

Elena laughed. "I'm not doing this."

"You're not gonna deny that I'm your boyfriend, now, are you?" Damon asked.

"What are you doing?" Elena asked. "Trying to stir some feelings in me? Ironic, since you, my sire, are the one who had me turn them off."

"Yeah, well, hindsight is almost a bigger bitch than the two of you." Damon told her.

"You're nothing to me, Damon." Elena told him.

(Song Ends)

"Really?" Damon asked. "Then why tell me you're in love with me? Why tell me it's the most real thing you've ever felt in your life?"

"I told you I loved you because I was sired to you, and now that I'm not, I know that none of it was real." Elena told him. "But if you still think that it was... I mean, maybe you're the one who needs help with your emotions, not me." Elena walked away. Damon looked troubled. Elena ran into Bonnie and Sally. "Uh-oh, friend patrol."

"Hey." Bonnie told her. "I know we haven't really talked since... everything. But I just-I wanna say that I miss you."

"And, despite you and Morgana being bitches here lately, we wanna help you." Sally told her.

"What are you gonna do, get me a job at the Grill?" Elena asked.

"I don't want you to look back and realize you missed out on the best part of senior year." Bonnie told her.

"Spare me, Bonnie." Elena told her. "If you had the choice, you would have turned your emotions off the second that your Grams died."

"Hey." Sally told her. "You shut it off because all you could feel were the horrible things happening to you. You still have friends who love you."

"I thought you guys were gonna bring Jeremy back, but it turned out you were just a bunch of brainwashed crazy people." Elena told them. "So, technically, you're all a walking reminder of all the horrible things that have happened to me."

Elena walked away.

Sally looked tense, struggling to contain herself. "I need some air."

Sally started to walk away.

"Sally." Bonnie told her. "Wait."

Sally looked at Bonnie, shaking her head. "Caroline's right. Morgana and Elena are gone."

Sally walked away.

Bonnie sighed.

...

Outside

Sally walked out onto the red carpet. She stopped, looking at a picture of her and Scott outside on the school lawn the day that Derek had gotten back to town, holding each other close in excitement and relief.

Scott appeared next to the screen in real life, wearing a tuxedo.

Sally smiled, tears in her eyes. "Is this real?"

"Does it matter?" Scott asked. Sally laughed mildly, smiling. "May I have this dance?"

(Song:) Stay - Rihanna & Mikky Ekko

Scott held his hand toward her.

Sally walked closer, taking his hand.

Scott and Sally looked at each other, smiling.

Inside

Rebekah and Matt were talking at the punch bowl.

"So, are you and Caroline, like, a thing?" Rebekah asked.

"We're not a thing." Matt answered. "We're friends."

"And you and Rosie?" Rebekah asked.

Matt sighed, shaking his head. After a moment, he changed the subject. "So who are you here with?"

"No one." Rebekah answered. "Go on, I know what you're thinking. Why didn't I just compel myself a date?"

"You know, actually, I was thinking, 'I wonder if Liam wants ice'." Matt told her.

"Oh." Rebekah told him. "Can I ask you a question?"

"Why?" Matt asked. "Apparently, you already seem to know everything I'm thinking, so..."

"Look, I know you're angry with me" Rebekah told him.

"Yeah, that's putting it mildly." Matt told her.

Rebekah sighed. "Do you think that I would make a good human?"

"I think that 'good' is a hard word to live up to." Matt told her. "And besides what you did for Rosie recently, I've never seen you do anything remotely good. But you only did those things because you wanted something in return. So... honestly, no, I don't. I'm sorry."

Matt walked away.

Rebekah looked hurt by this response.

...

Elsewhere

Morgana was laughing with some girl when Stefan pulled her over to dance with him.

"Let go of me or I will bite you." Morgana told him.

"Oh, come on." Stefan told her. "I'm the one that hates to dance, remember?"

"Yeah, and now I finally see why." Morgana told him.

Stefan nodded sarcastically. "Hmm."

...

Stefan and Morgana were still dancing.

"So, you're just here to help Rebekah get the Cure, right?" Stefan asked. "On what happens to be the most sentimental night in high school?"

"You think this is my cry for help?" Morgana asked. "I'd be happy to show you what a real cry for help sounds like."

"So this... us." Stefan told her. "You feel nothing?"

"I feel nothing." Morgana told him, tilting her head.

"I don't believe you." Stefan told her.

"I don't care." Morgana told him.

"So you don't remember what it used to feel like when we would dance?" Stefan asked. "When my hand would touch your waist?"

Stefan rested his hand on her waist.

Morgana's expression didn't change. "Nope."

"Hmm." Stefan hummed, taking her hand, entwining his fingers through hers. "How about this? When our fingers would touch?"

Morgana shook her head. "Nothing."

"And this?" Stefan asked, dipping Morgana down, holding her there for a moment. "Does your heart really refuse to remember?"

Stefan pulled Morgana up.

Morgana leaned closer as if to kiss him, breathing her words onto his lips. "What heart?"

Letting him process the words, Morgana pulled away, walking away leaving.

(Song Ends)

Damon had been watching them, not looking happy.

(Song:) Remember - Kari Kimmel

Caroline finally arrived at the dance, smiling.

Morgana approached her. "So how do I look?"

"Are you kidding me?" Caroline asked incredulously. "You look like a back-stabbing bi-" She stopped, looking behind Morgana to Stefan as he stood behind her shoulder. Morgana smiled. "The dress is beautiful, and it brings out your eyes."

Morgana smiled. "Thanks. I thought I'd do it a favor."

Morgana walked away.

Caroline turned her head, following her with her gaze, glaring at her as she walked away.

Liam stood at the voting table for prom court, tallying up the votes.

Rebekah was talking to him.

"I can't just make you Prom Queen." Liam told her. "It is based on votes, and you have approximately none so far. I won't do it. And you can't make me. I drink vervain."

"I was not going to compel you." Rebekah told him.

Elena rushed toward them, grabbing Liam by the throat, pushing him against the wall behind him. "You pick now as a good of a time as any as taking a stand? No. You can't be compelled, but you can be killed. Rebekah wins Prom Queen. Got it?"

"Elena-" Liam started, coughing.

"What the bloody hell are you doing?" Rebekah asked.

Elena let Liam go, turning to face Rebekah. "What you were about to do."

"I was not going to threaten her." Rebekah told her.

"Remember that time you tortured me until I told you how to find the Cure?" Elena asked. "You ruined my relationship with Stefan and Morgana." She held a hand toward Liam. "And then you trapped us, Emma, Evelyn, Liam, Morgana, Elizabeth and Caroline with two hybrids."

"Yeah." Rebekah agreed. "So?"

"So, you're not a good person." Elena told her. "You're not gonna win this Cure by being yourself. So just stand there and refrain from talking, okay?"

Elena looked at Logan.

Liam held his throat, looking at them, but he didn't move, showing them that he wasn't going to let them intimidate him.

Outside

Scott and Sally were dancing.

"You and me." Sally told him. "Just like the way it used to be."

Scott spun Sally around, pulling her closer, with her back to him. "Do you miss Derek, Sally?"

"Of course I do." Sally answered.

"Do you want this to be real?" Scott asked.

"Yes." Sally answered, turning to face him.

"Then it can be." Scott told her. "Sally... your magic can bring Derek back for good. You have the power to do the spell now."

Sally looked at him in realization, pushing away from him. "Oh, my God. You're Silas. Get away from me."

Sally started to walk away.

Scott/Silas grabbed her wrist, pulling her back. "You need me, Sally. All of you do."

"We don't need you." Sally told him. "We don't want anything to do with you."

"You have no idea how dangerous the three of you are." Ryan/Silas told her. "If I don't help you, you'll kill yourselves."

"You're trying to get in my head." Lindsey told him.

"I'm just asking for your help in return for mine." Scott/Silas told her.

"Leave me alone." Sally told him, turning around, starting to walk away.

"Wake up on fire recently?" Scott/Silas asked.

Sally stopped, turning to face him. "Did you do that to us?"

"Please, Sakura , let me help you before one of you hurt somebody or yourselves." Scott/Silas told her.

"You don't care about us." Lindsey told him. "You only care about bringing down the wall to the Other Side, and we have to die to do it."

"But you'll be back." Scott/Silas told her.

"With every supernatural villain looking for revenge." Sally told him. "We won't do it."

"Don't you want to see Derek again?" Scott/Silas asked. "Jeremy? Your parents?"

"Not like this." Sally told him.

Scott/Silas gave her a look.

Sally walked away.

Klaus' Mansion - Living Room

Elijah and Klaus were talking.

Elijah had the white oak stake.

"Where did you get that?" Klaus asked.

"Our sister." Elijah answered. "Once she's human... it'll make no difference to her whatsoever. Take it."

Klaus took it, suspicious. "Why would you give me this?"

"We are immortal apart from the stake." Elijah told him. "Now that it's yours, you have nothing to fear."

"If we do not give the Cure to Esmeralda, she will continue to torment all of us." Klaus told him. "She made Kol lose his mind in his attempt to stop Silas from rising. She got Finn killed. She actually got Morgana to help kill Kol. The damage she's done to me, the Salvatores, their friends, you, Rebekah and Morgana is unspeakable. Elisaveta, Kol and I, we have only fallen so far in the past or in the present because she warped our minds and wills. Without her, we could have lived to be better people. She needs to die."

"Well, we've survived endless torments throughout the centuries." Elijah told him. "We'll shake this. And if we can't, we outrun her."

"She'll find us." Klaus told him. "She always does. She is worse than Mikael. Worse than everyone we've ever faced. And you may be right. We may not be able to beat her. But without the Cure, what makes you think I'll spare your beloved Katerina? Or have you figured out you're simply another fly in her web?"

"You will spare her because I am asking you to spare her." Elijah told him. "As your family, as your only living brother, I would ask that you provide me with this opportunity to feel, to care. To love."

Klaus walked closer to him. "I gave you that opportunity, when you had the opportunity to proceed a life with Emma Gilbert. But, instead, you left, because of your guilt of what you had done to her friends. And you sided against me. So, if I run, it'll be to chase Katherine. And as your only living brother, I will make it my cause that you never know a moment of happiness, with either of your desired loved ones."

Klaus used the stake to punctuate his words by tapping it on Elijah's chest.

Elijah calmly pushed the stake away from himself, looking at Klaus with pity. "It is such a hollow little life that you lead, Niklaus. If you want to give Esmeralda revenge, be better than this. Don't let her win."

Elijah briefly placed a hand on Klaus' head, walking out of the room.

Klaus was clearly affected by what he had said.

...

Prom

(Song:) Lights - Josh Ritter

Rebekah sat alone, looking depressed.

Matt approached her. "You haven't seen Bonnie, have you?"

"She's probably in the bathroom." Rebekah told him. "Every other girl is. And if you haven't noticed, I am sitting here all on my own. So, please, will you put me out of my misery and dance with me?"

"I don't think so." Matt told her, starting to walk away.

Rebekah stood. "Matt, please. This is a girl's worst nightmare. Please." Matt finally took her hand, escorting her onto the dance floor, beginning to dance. "I thought about what you said, about being good, and you're right. It won't be easy, but it's worth trying."

"I don't understand why my opinion is so important to you." Matt admitted.

"Because you're everything that I want to be." Rebekah answered. "You're loyal, honest, kind. People root for you to succeed. Elena died for you. Emma risked her recovery to save you. Rosie even tried to kill herself so she wouldn't kill you when Klaus sired her to do so."

"I'm a bus boy, Rebekah." Matt told her. "Okay? It's not like I'm out saving the world."

"But you're human. Rebekah told him. "You're so beautifully human."

...

Elsewhere

Isabella and Emma were standing together.

"Smile, Em." Isabella told her. "We look hot."

"Says you." Emma told her.

Isabella watched as two boys walked past them, both looking at them. "Says the two guys who can't stop staring at us."

Caroline stood next to them. "Aren't you on 'Save Morgana and Elena' duty?"

"That is not my job." Isabella told her.

"And I'm taking a little breather." Emma told her.

"Where's Evelyn?" Caroline asked.

"I don't know." Isabella told her. "Ever since Willoughby, she's been on the down low."

Caroline nodded, taking a deep breath, exhaling. "This prom sucks. This is our last dance together, and it's awful. This is not how I wanted to remember this night." Isabella offered her a flask. Caroline looked at it. Isabella nodded encouragingly. Caroline took it. "Thank you." She took a sip. All three girls sighed. Caroline handed the flask to Emma. "If anyone asks, I'll be at the after-party."

Emma raised the flash in a mock toast, taking a drink.

Caroline walked away.

Sally approached them. "We have a problem."

(Song Ends)

...

Later

Bonnie, Sally, Stefan, Damon, Matt, Emma and Isabella all stood together.

"It's like Scott was there." Sally told them. "I could talk to him, feel him."

"Guys, that's what Silas does." Emma told them. "You can't let him get to you again."

"Yeah, because you all crazy and brainwashed is just not a good look." Damon told them.

Sally looked at him in exasperation.

...

Elsewhere

Morgana sniffed a flower, eavesdropping.

Elena and Rebekah were standing with her.

"What am I missing?" Rebekah asked.

"Silas is appearing to Sally as her alive boyfriend, which means he still wants all of them to do the spell." Elena answered.

"So?" Rebekah asked. "The nice thing about having no feelings is you don't fear your enemies on the Other Side."

"I'm not worried about my enemies." Morgana told her honestly. "It's people like Alaric... Kol and Jeremy. The Salvatore brothers are annoying enough as it is. Can you imagine if our brothers came back to the living? They'd spend every waking hour trying to get our humanity back."

Morgana put down her flower, taking a drink from her glass.

Liam stood on the podium. "Hey. Okay, the ballots have been tallied, which means it's time to announce this year's prom king and queen."

...

Elsewhere

The others were still talking.

Stefan looked at Damon, Isabella and Emma. "Look, one of us should take them home."

"What?" Isabella asked. "No. They're safer here in public and around all these people. There's no way Silas can make everyone see the same thing all at once."

"Okay, in the meantime, how do we look out for a guy that can appear as anyone?" Matt asked.

No one had an answer.

"All right, your Prom King and Queen are..." Liam trailed off, opening the envelope. He smiled widely. "Matt Donovan and Bonnie Bennett."

The crowd cheered as a spotlight shone on Matt and Bonnie.

Matt and Bonnie looked at Sally, Emma and the Salvatores.

They smiled, each of them applauding.

Matt offered his arm to Bonnie. Bonnie linked it with hers. Matt led her to the stage, where Liam placed a crown on each of their heads.

"Bonnie Bloody Bennett." Rebekah told them. "Of course."

Liam gave Bonnie a bouquet.

"Everyone's so worried about Silas, but there's an obvious solution to all of this." Elena told them. "He needs Bonnie, Sally and Rosie. He can't do the spell without them. So if you can't kill Silas, kill his witches before the spell starts."

"I can't kill anyone." Rebekah told them. "I'm supposed to be human."

"Maybe you can't, but we can." Elena told her, walking away.

Morgana smirked. "And if that doesn't work... we always have Plan B."

Morgana walked away.

...

Lockwood Mansion - Living Room

Caroline entered the house carrying brown bags. She set them down, turning around to see Tyler standing behind her, wearing a suit and holding a bouquet of flowers. "Tyler."

"I do't think you've ever looked more beautiful." Tyler told her.

"Oh, my God." Caroline told him. "Tyler."

Caroline ran into his arms, kissing him briefly.

"You didn't really think I was gonna miss prom, did you?" Tyler asked.

"Does that mean you're back for good?" Caroline asked.

Tyler sighed. "Not yet. This pack needs my help. They say that they have something important happening to them. You understand, right?" Caroline nodded. Tyler held up the flowers. "Here. These are for you."

(Song:) Song For Zula - Phosphorescent

Caroline took the flowers, smiling, smelling them.

"Caroline Forbes, may I please have this dance?" Tyler asked.

Caroline nodded happily.

...

Prom - Outside

Emma stood alone on the red carpet, looking at one of the screens for a slide show of pictures.

There was one of Emma covering her face halfheartedly. Elizabeth was next to her, smiling, hands on her shoulders.

Emma heard someone walk toward her, turning around. "And more with the dramatic entrances?" Elijah walked toward her. "At least you have a use for a suit tonight."

"I wanted to apologize." Elijah told her.

"For what?" Emma asked.

"For everything." Elijah answered. "You were right. About everything. Katherine admitted it to me."

Emma turned toward Elijah, tilting her head. "I'd love to say 'I told you so'."

Elijah walked closer. "But with the hate you speak of with Katherine, the fervor... It's as if you're using your jealousy to channel it into anger."

"Jealous?" Emma repeated skeptically. "Of Katherine? Please."

"Why else tell me she killed Jeremy?" Elijah asked. "Because I needed to know? Or because you wanted me to hate her?"

"I don't want anything from you, Elijah." Emma told him.

"But what I don't understand is why you don't hate your family." Elijah told her.

Elijah disappeared.

Emma looked around in confusion.

(Song Ends)

Damon appeared, walking toward her. "I killed your Britt. I took his head in my hands and twisted until I felt his neck crack."

Emma took a step back. "Silas."

Damon/Silas disappeared.

Emma looked around.

Isabella/Silas appeared, walking toward her. "We've all tried to kill you." Her voice morphed into Stefan's. "What's stopping us from killing you?"

Emma closed her eyes, turning away. She opened her eyes, but see didn't see anything, looking around.

Elijah/Silas appeared, walking toward her. "You were dying because of them, Emma. Your commitment to Elisaveta, Evelyn Isabella, Stefan and Damon will be the death of you."

Emma stepped closer defiantly, inches away from him. "I don't care."

Emma started to walk away.

Elijah/Silas gripped Nicola's arm, hard enough to hurt her. "But, then again, if you can't be a fool for family, who can you be a fool for?" Emma looked at him in anger. "Aren't those the words you told them the night you helped him undagger his family to save your own?" Elijah/Silas placed a stake into Emma's hand, forcing her to take it. "Your mind is a dark and riveting place, Emma."

Emma pulled her arm out of his hand forcefully, backing away. "Listen, Silas, you psychic little freak, where the hell are Stefan, Isabella and Damon?"

"They're in the woods where I convinced them I was you." Elijah/Silas told her. "They're in a bit of pain right now. This witches are mine. Stay away from them." He stalked closer to her, making her back away. "Unless you want me to come for you."

Emma stabbed the stake forward.

"Em!" Isabella told her, catching the stake right before Emma staked her in the heart. "What the hell is going on with you?"

Emma took a deep breath. "Isabella?"

"What's wrong?" Isabella asked.

Emma breathed deeply, gesturing to her head. "Silas. He was tormenting me. He got inside my head." She looked at Isabella in suspicion. "How do I know it's really you?"

"It's me." Isabella told her. "It's really me. I swear."

"Prove it." Emma told her.

"Who do you think held you while you broke down, right before you nearly your room this morning?" Isabella asked. "I'm seriously tired of Silas and Esmeralda using me to get to the people that I care about." Emma sighed gratefully. "What did he want?"

"For us to leave the witches alone." Emma answered. "He said that he got to..."

Emma looked up in realization, leading the way into the woods.

Isabella turned after Emma in confusion, hesitating a moment, following her.

...

Inside

(Song:) Stay Away - Charlie XCX

Matt and Bonnie had their picture taken with their crowns and Bonnie's roses.

Liam stood to the side, smiling.

Elena watched them, smiling sinisterly.

Matt walked away.

Rebekah walked toward him. "You need to get your queen off the stage."

"I can't really do that right now." Matt told her.

"You didn't hear it from me, but Morgana and Elena are up to something." Rebekah told him, walking away.

Matt watched as Bonnie entered a tented area.

(Song Ends)

...

Tent

Bonnie removed her crown.

Elena walked through a beaded curtain. "Congratulations, Bonnie."

"What do you want?" Bonnie asked.

"For you to stop being a problem." Elena answered, transforming, grabbing Bonnie's shoulder.

Bonnie used magic to cause Elena pain.

Elena moaned in pain, holding her head.

...

Outside the tent

Sally was standing alone, her magic being affected. There was loud, piercing microphone feedback and electrical sparks.

...

Tent

Matt entered the tent to see Elena collapsing to the floor, still in pain. "Bonnie!"

"Something's happening to me." Bonnie told him. "To all of us."

"Okay, just relax." Matt told her.

"No." Bonnie told him. "I gotta get them out of here."

Bonnie walked out of the tent, grabbing Sally's arms as she walked past them, pulling them along.

Elena stood up, her hair messed up. She looked furious.

Liam entered the tent. "What's going on?"

Elena turned to face him. "Liam? Remember when I told you to make Rebekah prom queen?"

Elena grabbed Liam by the head, slamming it onto the table, pulling her up, biting into her neck, feeding.

"No!" Matt told her.

Elena let go of Liam, letting him fall into Matt's arms, unconscious. "You should have listened."

Elena walked away.

Matt looked at Liam's dying body in his arms in shock and denial.

...

Matt shook Liam, trying to wake hi, up. "Liam. Liam... come on, please wake up! Liam? Come on! Please wake up! Liam!"

Rebekah walked in. "Matt, why did you call..." She saw Liam. "Oh, my God."

"Can you feed him your blood?" Matt asked.

"Can't we just call 911 or something?" Rebekah asked.

"He's dying," Matt told her. "Please help him!"

"I can't." Rebekah told him. "If I heal him with my vampire blood, Elijah told Morgana to not give me the Cure, and I won't get to be human."

"How is this even a choice right now?" Matt asked. "You want to be human? Prove it. Be good, do the right thing, and save her life."

Rebekah hesitated, reluctantly thinking it over.

...

Outside - Woods

Isabella and Emma were walking through the woods, hearing someone groaning in pain.

"Stefan?" Isabella asked. She looked around. "Damon?"

"Yeah, we're over here." Stefan told them, groaning in pain, pulling a stake out of his stomach.

Damon was leaning against a tree, pulling one out of his.

Isabella and Emma knelt next to them.

"Let me guess." Damon told them. "Two extremely handsome men came up to you two claiming to be us."

"Something like that." Emma told them, looking at Isabella regretfully. "Yeah."

Isabella nodded. "Yeah."

...

Parking Lot

Bonnie led Sabrina away from the prom.

Sally grabbed Bonnie by the arm, pulling her to a stop. "What aren't you telling us?"

"Morgana and Elena are trying to kill us," Bonnie told them.

Bonnie's expression turned cold as she looked behind them.

Sally turned around to follow her gaze in confusion.

Grams/Silas was standing there. "Hello, girls."

"Get away from us, Silas." Bonnie told him.

"We can help each other." Grams/Silas told them.

"This is what you do." Sally told him. "You wait until we lose control and then you want to swoop in and save us."

Grams/Silas disappeared.

The girls looked around.

Derek/Silas appeared. "You really think you have a choice? If you don't let me help you, your Expression will consume you all from the inside out."

"Get away from us." Sally told him.

A second later, car alarms started going off , their headlights flickering.

Sally looked surprised and scared.

Derek/Silas disappeared.

Jeremy/Silas appeared, dressed for the occasion in a black dress. "You didn't try to do that, did you?" Sally looked at him in shock and pain. "Your magic is taking on a life of its own. You all need help controlling it."

Sally turned away from him.

Derek/Silas appeared in front of her to stop her. "Sally. Listen to me. Breathe."

"I will die before I let you control any of us again." Sally told him angrily.

Wind blew around them chaotically, carrying up the leaves, blowing their hair and their dresses around.

Bonnie's magic was affected.

A storm above them started to brew, thundering and lightning.

Jeremy/Silas appeared. "Listen to me! Sally!"

They didn't answer, breathing deeply, all of them angry.

Grams/Silas appeared. "Control, Bonnie!"

Silas' voice was formed from Jeremy, Grams and Derek. "Control!"

Bonnie and Sally each took each other's hands to gather strength from the others, their voices screams. "Get out of my head!"

Everything stopped.

Bonnie put a hand to her head.

Sally breathed heavily, turning around.

A man stabbed Sally in the stomach with a knife.

Sally gasped in pain, blood staining her dress.

Blood stained Bonnie's blue dress.

Sally looked from the knife in her stomach to the man with absolute anger, using magic to break his bones.

The man screamed in pain, falling to his knees. Blood started to drip down from his nose. "Please! She told me I had to."

"Sally, he's human." Bonnie told her. "If you do this..."

Sally ignored her, looking at the man. "Who told you?"

The man looked behind them.

Morgana rushed toward Sally from behind, tilting her head to the side, snarling, biting into the right side of her neck, feeding.

Elena rushed toward Bonnie from behind, tilting her head to the side, biting into the left side of her neck, feeding. A neck wound exactly like Sally's formed on the right side of her neck.

Bonnie and Sally yelled in pain, falling to their knees.

Sally was still using magic on the human.

A neck wound exactly like Bonnie's formed on the left side of Sally's neck.

Bonnie was beyond angry, using her magic against Morgana and Elena.

Elena and Morgana stopped, pulling back.

Elena choked.

Morgana vomited blood.

Sally was beyond anger, pulling on her chain around her neck, pulling the bone pendant from underneath her dress, clutching it in both of her hands. "Heal."

Bonnie and Sally were all healing within the second.

Elena was still choking.

Bonnie and Sally stood from the ground slowly, turning toward Morgana and Elena angrily, using Expression to break their bones.

Elena and Morgana screamed in pain, falling to the ground.

Stefan, Damon, Isabella and Emma appeared.

Isabella and Emma stood on either side of the two witches.

"Bonnie, stop." Isabella told her. "Sally..."

Damon knelt next to Elena. Stefan knelt next to Morgana.

"Stefan, help me." Morgana told him, in pain.

"Guys, you're killing them." Isabella told them.

Bonnie and Sally spoke together. "We know what we're doing."

"That's the magic talking." Emma told them. Morgana writhed in pain. Stefan held Morgana, holding her to his chest. Emma looked at the witches. "These are your best friends."

"Damn it, witches." Damon growled, holding Elena.

Elena managed to look up at them in fear and pain, blood dripping from her nose. "Guys... Please."

Morgana groaned, moaning in pain.

The magic suddenly stopped.

Elena gasped in relief.

Isabella looked at Bonnie and Sally. "You guys okay?"

Bonnie and Sally turned toward Isabella and Emma.

"No, we're not okay." Bonnie told them. "We almost died."

"I almost killed someone." Sally told them.

"The shell of my best friends almost killed all of us." Bonnie told them. "None of this is okay."

Sally and Bonnie walked away, leaving.

Stefan looked at Morgana, whispering, helping her up. "I got you."

Damon helped Elena stand.

They both staggered weakly.

Emma stepped toward Damon and Elena to help Elena stand. "Okay." Isabella stepped toward Morgana and Stefan to help Morgana stand. "Hey, whoa."

Emma stabbed Elena with a syringe filled with vervain.

Elena fell unconscious in Damon's arms.

Isabella stabbed Morgana with a syringed filled with vervain.

Morgana fell unconscious in Stefan's arms.

Isabella looked from Damon to Stefan to Emma simply. "Plan B."

...

Inside

Matt put his jacket over Liam's shoulders. "You okay?"

"One of my best friends just tried to kill me and you had to talk an Original into saving my life." Liam told him. "Of course I'm not okay."

Matt nodded sadly, walking toward Rebekah. "Thank you for saving her."

"Morgana and Elena were right." Rebekah told him. "I should have just stayed home."

"No one has to know what you did." Matt told her. "I won't tell anyone."

"You'd really do that for me?" Rebekah asked.

"I would." Matt answered. "And maybe I was a little harsh earlier. You wouldn't make the worst human."

Rebekah smiled. "Are you offering me a job as a bus boy? You know, I'd look cute in an apron."

Matt smiled. "We'll see. I should probably get Eliza home."

"Okay." Rebekah told him.

Matt walked over to Liam, helping him stand. "All right, let's stand up." Liam stood. "So, my house or yours?"

"Caroline will be at your house, and..." Liam trailed off.

"You don't want to be alone." Matt finished. "Let's go."

"Thanks, Matt." Liam told him.

Matt nodded, helping Liam away.

Klaus walked up behind Rebekah. "Dear, sweet Liam Forbes. Now, there's a boy with a future."

"He was dying, and I acted with human decency." Rebekah told him. "You can't get more human than that."

"Actually, you can." Klaus told her. "You can stand idly by as poor Liam Forbes takes his final breath. You can ask, 'Why does this always happen to innocent people? Where do the spirits go? Was there anything I could have done?' That is what it means to be human, sister. You give humanity too much credit."

"You're gonna tell Elijah?" Rebekah asked.

"No." Klaus answered. "No."

...

Morgana'a Mansion - Outside

Elijah was lying in a chair on the lawn.

Rebekah/Silas approached him.

Elijah stood. "You're home. And how did our Cinderella fare?"

"I won't lie." Rebekah/Silas told him. "There were complications. But I passed your test with flying colors."

Elijah walked toward her. "Good riddance. This Cure would be the ruin of us all if it lived another day."

Elijah handed Rebekah/Silas the white box.

Rebekah/Silas opened it to reveal the Cure inside.

Elijah smiled.

"I guess it's time that I turned into a pumpkin." Rebekah/Silas told her. "Thank you, Elijah."

Rebekah/Silas walked away.

Elijah's phone started to ring. He pulled it out, looking at the Caller ID

Rebekah

Puzzled, Elijah answered. "Rebekah?"

Rebekah was still at the prom. "Elijah..."

"Where did you go?" Elijah asked.

"I'm still at the prom." Rebekah told him. "Look, don't do anything with the Cure until I see you. Something's not right." Elijah realized that he had been fooled by Silas, looking down. He turned in the direction he had walked away, his mouth slightly open, unsure of how to react. "Elijah? Hello? Elijah, do not take your eyes off that Cure."

Elijah looked forward. "I think it might be a little late for that."

Rebekah looked horrified.

Lockwood Mansion - Living Room

(Song:) You Send Me (Sam Cooke Cover) - Caught a Ghost

Tyler and Caroline were still dancing.

"I have to go soon." Tyler told her. "I have to see Rosie before I go."

"I know." Caroline told him. "I know." She kissed Tyler sweetly yet passionately. "Thank you for the best prom ever."

They kissed one last time.

Tyler took one of the brown bags, walking away toward the door.

Caroline smiled, though looked as if she was ready to break at any moment.

(Song Ends)

...

Salvatore Boarding House - Cell

Stefan laid Morgana's unconscious form onto the cot.

Damon laid Elena's unconscious form onto another across the room.

Isabella leaned against the wall.

Emma stood in the doorway.

"They might not feel much, but they're gonna feel that in the morning." Isabella told them.

"So what's the plan?" Stefan asked.

"When the witches were whaling on them tonight, I could see it in their eyes." Emma told them. "Morgana and Elena thought they were gonna die. They were scared."

"Fear." Damon realized.

"Last time I checked, one of those pesky human emotions." Isabella told them.

"So Plan C..." Emma trailed off. "Make their lives a living hell."

"You care to talk about our other problem?" Damon asked. "You know, the one that can be anyone, anywhere, anytime."

"Silas still needs Sally, Rosie and Bonnie." Isabella told them. "And if tonight is any indication, they're no pushovers. They're not gonna let him manipulate them. Not anymore."

"I wouldn't underestimate his talents." Emma told them. "He fooled the hell out of all of us." They walked out of the cell. Stefan closed the door, locking the door behind them. Emma looked at Isabella with guilt. She looked at Stefan and Damon curiously. "What did he say to you guys anyway?"

Damon looked at Isabella. "For me, he pretended to be you."

Stefan looked at Emma. "And he pretended to be you for me. He led us out in the woods, claiming he saw Silas, and then he staked us."

Isabella nodded slowly, looking at Emma. "Hmm."

"How'd he get to the two of you?" Damon asked.

Isabella and Emma looked at each other, neither speaking for a moment.

Isabella looked at Stefan and Damon. "He kept disappearing back and forth. One talked about his hair and the other talked about his car. Figured it had to be you two."

"Funny." Stefan told her.

Emma looked at Isabella in slight surprise.

Isabella gave her a small, forgiving smile.

Damon walked toward the stairs.

Isabella followed him.

Emma started to follow until she realized Stefan wasn't following. "You coming?"

Stefan was looking through the bars in the window toward Morgana, hesitating a long moment. "Yeah."

The Salvatores walked away.

...

Lockwood Cellar - Outside - Woods

The woods were silent.

Rosie's eardrum breaking scream broke through the night.

...

Inside

Rosie was chained to the walls and floor, in a spaghetti-strapped shirt and shorts, sweat beading her skin. Her eyes were glowing gold, continuing on with the transformation, screaming.

Tyler walked in with a brown paper bag.

Rosie looked at him in relief, breathing heavily, kneeling to the ground. "Ty."

Tyler knelt in front of Rosie. "Rose. Caroline told me what was going on. I knew you needed someone here to help you with that." Rosie nodded, crying. "It's okay. You can fight through it."

"I don't have a choice." Rosie told him, smiling tiredly, weakly. "I made a deal with Rebekah. If I helped her get the Cure, she would give me my freedom. Even though what she took wasn't the Cure, she had to compel me before she took it, before we had known it wasn't the Cure."

Tyler smiled a small smile, putting a hand on Rosie's cheek.

Rosie leaned her head into his hand, missing him so much.

"At least you got two things out of the deal." Tyler told her. "Freedom and humanity." Rosie nodded. Tyler picked up the brown paper bag. "I brought something for you. I knew you'd be hungry." Tyler pulled out a blood bag, holding it out to her. Rosie eyed it hungrily, taking it instantly, ripping through the bag with her teeth, drinking until it was empty. There were more blood bags in the bag. Tyler took the empty blood bag, placing it aside. "How long?"

"Since I got back to Mystic Falls." Rosie answered. "I don't even know how long it's been." She looked up. "Did I miss prom?"

Tyler chuckled, nodding. "Yeah. I'm sorry."

Rosie shrugged, tilting her head down. "This is more important than some dance."

Tyler nodded. "Yeah, it is."

Rosie looked up. "Caroline told me about the pack you're helping. Go. Finish as soon as you can so that you can come home for good. I've got this handled."

"I know you do." Tyler told her, placing each of his hands on her cheeks, kissing her head.

Rosie closed her eyes, letting a tear fall down her cheek.

Tyler took a deep breath as if he was fighting the urge to stay, standing, slowly turning around, walking toward the exit.

"Ty." Rosie told him to stop him. Tyler turned to face her. "I miss you."

"I miss you, too." Tyler told her.

Rosie exhaled shakily, wanting to cry, but she held it back. "Be safe."

Tyler barely nodded. "I will. Rosie... bye."

"Bye." Rosie told him.

Tyler turned around, walking away, leaving.

Rosie looked down, breathing heavily, preparing herself to start the transformation. She looked up with glowing eyes, making her spine break first, screaming.

...

Klaus' Mansion - Parlor

Klaus entered the room, seeing a letter propped against a glass decanter. He picked it up.

It had a was seal with the letter "K" imprinted on it.

Klaus opened it and read.

Katherine: (voice over)"Klaus, I hear Elijah has refused you the Cure, and in return, you have refused me my freedom. Shame on you both. But while you boys sort out your problems, I have one last thing to offer you. I've caught wind that there is a witch in New Orleans named Jane-Anne Deveraux plotting a move against you. Hunt her down. What she has to say will rattle you so deeply to your core that chasing little old me will be the least of your concerns. It's been a fun five centuries, Klaus, but I've worn down too many good heels running from you. Love and hate, Katerina."

...

Tunnels

Bonnie walked through the dimly lit tunnels.

The sound of water dripping broke the silence.

"Silas?" Bonnie asked. "I know it's you. My locator spell worked without using any of your possessions."

An unfamiliar voice spoke from the shadows. "Ah, yes. You're finally acknowledging how powerful you are, even when you stand alone. I'm assuming Rosie and Sally don't know you're here."

"They'll understand when I explain." Bonnie told him. "I've heard you be many people tonight, but I don't recognize your voice right now as the ones you've used against us. Is this the real you?" Silas didn't answer. "Then tell me why you're hiding."

"Call it Esmeralda's revenge." Silas told her. "What happened to my sister two thousand years ago was because I loved too many women at once, so she used her magic to ensure no woman could ever love me again. It should come as no surprise that now I simply want to die."

Silas had the box containing the Cure in his hands.

"And I want you to." Bonnie told him.

"Even if it means dying yourself to bring back every dead supernatural being?" Silas asked.

"Show me your face." Bonnie told him.

Silas stood, emerging into enough light for Bonnie to see him.

Bonnie was shocked and slightly fearful.

Silas looked deformed and monstrous.
