Recap: Silas is running around causing trouble in Mystic Falls; kidnapping Adelina, then posing as her; "Stabbing" Klaus with the white oak stake. Meanwhile, Damon, Stefan, Rebekah and the ever annoying Elena are tracking down Katharine to get the cure.
Kol was sitting at the Grill, anxiously waiting while Silas, still disguised as Adelina was scarfing down a cheeseburger. "Oh my God! 2,000 years, man-kind has come a long way. Hands down, best invention of humanity." Silas said, taking another bite. "You want any?" Silas asked, motioning to the pile of fries. Kol shook his head, sipping on his scotch.
"Oh, come on Kol! Lighten up! You still have 48 hours, and Adelina is right where I left her, see?" Silas motioned to Kol's phone where he got a video of Adelina slowly coming too after the effects of Bonnie's herbs wore off.
"Why are we here Silas?" Kol asked, putting his phone away.
"There's always a diabolical plan, I can't just hang out with my favorite Original?" Kol just gave her a blank look. "Alright. But I do have a job for you. It seems the Scooby Gang, is on their way to find a Peirce; obviously they're after the cure, so I need you to find her and get it before they do." Silas explained, dipping the fries into a chocolate shake.
"She's just not going to give me the cure." Kol said,
"But she will give it to your brother. What was his name? Elijah?" Silas pointed out, taking another bite of burger. "Elijah's the family man, he's all about protecting the family, right? So, Elijah gets the cure from Katherine, you get the cure from Elijah, and everyone gets what they want. I think that sounds fair." Silas smiled, Kol just simply downed the rest of his drink.
"I get Adelina, unharmed." It wasn't a question, more of a reminder to himself.
"As long as you get me the cure in 48 hours, I am a man of my word." Silas smiled, tossing down a $100 bill on the table, "So you know what will happen if you fail." Silas said standing next to Kol, looking down at him. "Good luck." Silas smiled before walking out of the Grill.
Caroline walked into the Mikaelson mansion, looking for Klaus. He was standing in front of the fire place, sweaty, shirtless and shoving his arm back into its socket. "What happened to you?"
"Silas, he attacked me! He stabbed me with the white oak stake, a piece of it is still inside me!"
"Oh god, Klaus that could kill you!" Caroline said, Klaus choked out a laugh,
"Well I certainly feel like I'm dying!" He looked up at Caroline, who gently grabbed his face in her hands to console him.
"As much as I would love to watch you die, you still haven't found me that cure."
"SILAS!" Klaus yelled, shoving him away. Silas laughed, watching Klaus suffer.
"Look who's learning? Last night I looked like Adelina, today I'm Caroline and tomorrow, who knows." Silas smiled,
"Show me your real face!"
"Where's the fun in that? Why would I do that when I can look like whomever I want you to see?" Silas walked toward him, Klaus slowly backed away, but there was no point.
"Resist me all you want Klaus, but until either you or your brother brings me the cure, I will bring you nothing but misery." Silas promised, before disappearing.
"Something's not right, Katherine Pierce doesn't settle down in Hick's Town, PA." Damon said, as him and Stefan walked through the small town they tracked Katherine to.
"Well this is defiantly the car they stole." Stefan said, looking at the silver SUV that Rebekah and Elena used.
"Points to them, on their choice in vehicles." Damon commented.
"So what happens now? How do we get her back to Mystical Falls? She's not exactly going to come quietly and she's got an Original vampire as her bodyguard." Stefan said,
"Perhaps I could be of assistance." A voice said from behind Stefan, it was Kol.
"What do you want? You and your girlfriend fighting over curtains?" Damon said, Kol laughed,
"I'm looking for a certain Katerina Petrova, and the rumor is she might be here. Judging that you two are also here, means I'm in the right place." Kol smiled,
"You want the cure." Stefan said, Damon rolled his eyes at Stefan's obvious response. Kol just shrugged, "Heard you're dealing with an inhumane Elena and my cure-crazed little sister?"
"And it's none of your business." Damon said, walking up next to Stefan.
"Oh in fact it is, if Rebekah gets a hold of the cure, she won't hesitate to take it. Leaving Elena still a vampire and all your hopes and dreams crushed." Kol pointed out,
"Fine, do you know where Katherine is?" Stefan asked,
"As a matter of fact, I do." Kol smiled.
They found Rebekah and Katherine in a diner sitting a booth. Rebekah was taunting Katherine while eating a dessert but there was no Elena in sight. "Ladies, playing nice?" Stefan greeted as Rebekah released Katherine's wrist. Damon and Kol slid into the booth.
"Kol," Rebekah gasped, "What are you doing here?"
"I would ask you the same thing, little sister. Hello, Katherine, nice to see you again." Kol smiled, taking a fork and taking a piece of Rebekah's dessert.
"There goes the neighborhood." Katherine commented, rubbing her wrist.
"I see you've got Katherine already." Damon said to Rebekah, "You're losing your touch, evil one." Damon smiled at Katherine.
"So let me get this straight? I tell you where Elena is, you shove the cure down her throat, then I end up in a box, right? I don't think so." Rebekah said,
"Oh, come now, sister let's not get dramatic. If you're a good girl, we might just snap your neck." Kol glared at her. Katherine was smiling in her seat, Damon noticed,
"What about you smiley? Do you know where she is?"
"Why not check the town morgue? She's probably dead." Katherine said, they all just looked at her. "She went to meet up with a friend of mine. You may know him, an Original brother, impeccable taste." Katherine smiled,
"Elijah?" Kol and Rebekah both said.
"Well you might have to question Elijah's impeccable taste if he's friends with you." Stefan said,
"Oh when I say friend, I mean friend." Katherine said. Damon, Rebekah and Kol all groaned in disgust. "It probably took him about 10 seconds to figure out it wasn't me, and by that point he probably yanked her heart right out of her chest." Katherine said, sitting back in the booth.
"Alright where are they?" Kol asked Katherine, who just shrugged, "Dear sister, you realize if something should happen to Elena, you have no chance of finding the cure." Rebekah caved,
"They were supposed to meet at the gazebo by the park." Rebekah admitted,
"I'll go talk to Elijah," Kol said getting up,
"You deal with Elijah, Katherine will take us to the cure." Rebkah said, looking over at Katherine,
"No she won't, that cure is my one chance to win my freedom back from Klaus." Katherine explained,
"Brokering deals with Klaus?" Damon asked, not believing her bullshit story.
"No she's going to get Elijah to broker the deal for her, that's why you need you're little "friend". Some things never change Katherine." Stefan said, Damon just shook his head at her.
"Fine, move." She said to Rebekah, "You have to follow me."
Kol got Katherine's phone and was standing by the gazebo where Elijah and Elena were supposed to be. "Katerina." Elijah answered,
"Guess again, brother." Kol greeted,
"Kol, where is Katherine?" Elijah threatened,
"Where's Elena?" Kol retaliated,
"What concern is Elena to you?" Elijah asked,
"Well that's my business, brother, now where is she?"
"Safe, and how long she remains that way depends upon you."
"Well I guess the same goes for Katherine." Kol challenged,
"Oh, Katherine can take care of herself, against you." Elijah said,
"Oh you mean the four of us. You see I've got the help of the Salvatores and our baby sister." Kol said,
"Put her on the phone." Elijah said, Kol smiled knowing he was getting angry.
"She's not here right now, she's with the Salvatores and you're precious Katerina; tell me Elijah what lies did she tell you to make you just fall at her feet?" Kol teased.
"Tell me where they are." Elijah warned Kol.
"Oh, temper, temper. Don't worry brother,we're taking good care of her." Kol said,
"You know how much, Rebekah despises Katherine, she will end her the moment she becomes no longer useful." Elijah explained,
"Well then, that's one less annoyance we have to worry about." Kol smiled.
"You listen to me very carefully, Kol, if anything what so ever happens to Katherine, I will desend upon Elena." Elijah promised, hanging up the phone.
Kol no longer bothered with Elijah, so he went to the house where Katherine had hid the cure. As Kol walked in the door, Rebekah was holding the cure, she broke the capsule and took the cure.
"No!" Kol yelled, as Rebekah passed out. After about an hour, Rebekah woke up, Kol sat in front of her on the coffee table. "How do you feel?"
"I-I feel good, I-I feel great. I feel alive." Rebekah smiled,
"Slight problem with you being alive," Damon said holding a letter opener in his hand, "I can kill you now." Damon threw the letter opener at Rebekah's face, she caught it with all the speed and precision of a vampire. Rebekah opened her hand to watch the cut heal before her eyes.
"I'm still a vampire. The cure didn't work." Rebekah gasped,
"It worked just like she wanted it to," Stefan said, "The cure was a fake, a concentrated shot of vervain or something." Stefan explained, Rebekah had tears in her eyes.
"Katherine." Damon sneered.
Elijah was walking through town, thoughts running through his head of Katherine, how this entire time she used him. She walked toward him, stopping him. "Wait,"
"What do you want?" Elijah said, not wanting to look at her.
"I wanted to tell you, you were right. I've spent so much time running and lying to survive that I don't- I'm starting to believe my own lies. I don't even remember who I was when we first met and I-I want to find out." Katherine pulled out a bracelet box that contained the cure. "Now I can shove this down Klaus' throat and try to kill him but even if I manage to do it, I'd lose you and I don't want that to happen." Elijah desperately wanted to believe her, take her away so they could just be together but he couldn't.
"How do I know this just isn't another lie? Katherine Pierce deceiving yet another man." Katherine took his hand, giving him the cure.
"Because I meant what I said about my feelings for you." She placed his other hand over the box. "And I'd like to think, you feel something for me too. I need you to trust me, I want you to trust me. Just like I'm trusting you." She let go of his hands. "You don't owe me anything. I'm gonna let you decide where we go from here." She fixed her bag and walked past him, trying her best not to look back.
Elijah opened the box, seeing the cloudy capsule, he walked over to his car to see Rebekah and Kol sitting on the trunk. "You and Katherine, now I thought you were the smart brother?" Rebekah said,
"You don't have a smart brother, turns out I'm just as stupid as the rest of you." Elijah said, "Ouch!" Kol gasped, pretending to be wounded.
"Just give me the cure so I can judge you silently elsewhere." Rebekah said,
"Why do you want to cure?" Elijah asked, seeing the Rebekah was so adamant about it.
"I want to be human." She answered simply, Elijah was taken aback. "And how are you so sure that being human is the answer you're looking for? I mean it's nothing but a romantic notion, the grass won't necessarily be greener, Rebekah."
"It won't. And you're right; but I want to live a simple life as a normal person and when it ends, it ends. We've had plenty of life times together Elijah, isn't that enough?" Rebekah asked,
"I still don't understand, why must you consider our family such a burden? Always and Forever, those words are as important to me now as they ever were." Elijah tried to reason with her.
"You'll always be my brother, and I'll always love you." She turned to Kol, "Both of you. But it's time to live and die the way that I choose. Not the way you and Nik want me too. Please, please just give me the cure." Rebekah pleaded. Just then Kol's phone rang, "What do you want, Nik?" He answered,
"An update of our search for the illusive cure." Klaus said,
"Let's just say we've run into a few complications, here, why don't you talk to one." Kol handed Elijah the phone.
"Complication speaking." Elijah said, walking over to the driver's seat.
"Big brother, at last you join the race." Klaus said,
"Somebody had to take charge." Elijah said, "And now that I have, I've got the cure and I'm bringing it back to Mystic Falls." Elijah explained,
"With a long list of demands I assume."
"Not that long." Elijah corrected,
"Come home, brother, we'll settle this like family."
Adelina woke up after being unconscious for two days. She was in a cave, it was damp and dark. Her body ached all over, she was able to roll onto her stomach, to try and lift herself up when she heard footsteps. "Adelina?" The feet stopped in front of her, someone kneeled down, it was Stefan. Her strength failed and her face fell into the dirt, she rolled onto her back. "Stefan?" She groaned, her voice was hoarse. "Come here, we're going to get you out of here." Stefan said, lifting her up.
"Kill me." Adelina wheezed,
"No, Adelina, I'm going to get you out of here." Stefan said.
"I know you're Silas, so if you're here to torment me some more, just end it and kill me." Silas sighed, sitting down on the floor next to her,
"Now why would I do that, when we're having so much fun together?"
"Kol is never going to give you the cure. I would rather die, then live to see you win." Adelina said,
"That can be arranged." Silas said calmly, playing with a piece of Adelina's hair. "But I will get my cure. You underestimate how much Kol cares for you. He saved turned you, married you, he's saved you countless times. Why do you doubt that he won't bargain for your life?" Silas asked, Adelina just closed her eyes, wishing for something somewhere to just take her out of her misery. "He's on his way back to Mystic Falls, with the cure. If I get it within the next 24 hours, you might even make it to prom." Silas smiled,
"Think of it this way, Adelina, when Bonnie takes down the veil, you'll see your mom, your dad, your sister, Jeremy. Everyone you've ever loved whom you've lost will be alive. I can bring them back." Silas said, trying to get inside her head. Adelina looked up at him, her eyes shooting daggers at him, "Burn in hell." She spit in his face, Silas just wiped it off and laughed,
"You have a fire in you, I like that. Reminds me of a certain witch I used to date." Silas stood up, looking Adelina over one more time. "Hmm, it's a shame, I really should learn to keep my promises." He sighed, "But I'm bored."
Silas shoved his hand through Adelina's chest, grabbing her heart. "Do you know how easy it would be to kill you right now?" Silas said, enjoying how Adelina struggled for life. "I honestly don't need Kol do get me the cure, I just needed it back in Mystic Falls." He squeezed her heart harder, "What's wrong Adelina? I thought you wanted to die?" Silas teased, finally letting her go. "I could grant your wish, a stake through the heart." He made a clacking sound with his tongue, "That's all it takes. A splinter to the heart and all this can be over. You can be with your parents, Jeremy. Isn't that what you want, Adelina, to see them again?" Adelina just looked at him, tears in her eyes.
"Here, let me make it easy for you." Silas said, shoving a stake into her chest.
