*Rescue Me*
Just one more moment
That's all that's needed
Like wounded soldiers
In need of healing
Time to be honest
This time I'm pleading
Please don't dwell on it
'Cause I didn't mean it
I can't believe I said
I'd lay our love on the ground
But it doesn't matter
'Cause I made it up
Forgive me now
Everyday I spent away
My soul's inside out
Gotta be some way
That I can make it up
To you now somehow
It was a beautiful day, as Enzo and Caroline sat in the hospital waiting room next to each other.
"Dear God, please don't tell me I'm the reason you're here."
"Why not? From what Damon tells me, I am your type. Well-traveled, charming accent, dodgy morals."
"Totally tactless, unable to take a hint," she added.
"Precisely," he replied. "And I'm in need of a new murder buddy."
She looked at him all judgy-like, obviously thinking that he was serious.
"It was a joke," he informed her. "I joke. British humor."
She didn't think it was funny obviously.
"To be honest, you remind me of someone I once knew. Maggie," he told her.
"Let me guess. She made you want to be a better man," she guessed, going by experience she'd had with Klaus.
"Not at all. She just reminded me that I was good all along."
*Postcards From The Edge*
By now you know that
I'd come for you
No one but you
Yes, I'd come for you
But only if you told me to
I'd fight for you
I'd lie, it's true
Give my life for you
You know I'd always come for you
It was a beautiful day at an airport, as Reyna stood in front of Caroline, ready to mark and kill her with her Phoenix sword.
Just when she was about to, Enzo put himself between them, sacrificing himself for her.
Afterward, Reyna left.
*Yellow Ledbetter*
I was blindfolded
But now I'm seeing
My mind was closing
Now I'm believing
I finally know just
What it means
To let someone in
To see the side of me that no one does or ever will
So if you're ever lost and find yourself all alone
I'd search forever just to bring you home
Here and now this I vow
It was a dismal night, as Caroline sat in the driver's seat of the car and cried over what Stefan had said.
Enzo got into the passenger's seat and saw her crying so, with a mad face, he went back into the house and killed Stefan's human girlfriend.
*Coming Home Was A Mistake*
By now you know that
I'd come for you
No one but you
Yes, I'd come for you
But only if you told me to
I'd fight for you
I'd lie, it's true
Give my life for you
You know I'd always come for you
I'd always come for you
No matter what gets in my way
As long as there's still life in me
No matter what
Remember you know I'll always come for you
Yes, I'd come for you
No one but you
Yes, I'd come for you
But only if you told me to
Caroline had been trying her best to get Enzo to turn his humanity back on, but was failing. Because she was failing and he was being stubborn, she knew one other way. Maybe if she put herself in danger of dying, he'd save her, which would turn his humanity back on. She had to try. So that's what she did, as she stood in the cabin with him, flames all over. Within minutes, fire was surrounding nearly every inch of the cabin, but she didn't leave. She'd either succeed in her plan or die with him.
Despite him telling her to get out and save herself, she didn't heed. He was afraid now of her safety. He was okay with dying, but he wasn't going to let her follow him to the death. She was young. She still had a whole life ahead of her. He couldn't let her die for him or with him.
And I'd come for you
No one but you
Yes, I'd come for you
But only if you told me to
I'd fight for you
I'd lie, it's true
Give my life for you
You know I'd always come for you
No matter what gets in my way
As long as there's still life in me
No matter what
Remember you know I'll always come for you
I'd crawl across this world for you
Do anything you want me to
No matter what
Remember you know I'll always come for you
You know I'll always come for you
When he saw her on the floor and fire getting close to her, he called to her.
"Caroline, luv, wake up. Caroline."
When she didn't, he blurred to her side and gently picked her up in his arms, before blurring them both outside.
When he knew she'd be okay, he was relieved and his humanity was back on.
