1
00:00:02,160 --> 00:00:03,810
Previously on The Vampire Diaries:

2
00:00:04,000 --> 00:00:05,650
How long since you had human blood?

3
00:00:05,840 --> 00:00:08,127
Since I threatened to drive Elena
off the bridge.

4
00:00:08,360 --> 00:00:10,761
You're not gonna survive
cold-turkey, you never do.

5
00:00:10,960 --> 00:00:12,371
Go on, have a bite.

6
00:00:12,560 --> 00:00:13,846
What are you doing?

7
00:00:14,040 --> 00:00:15,485
- Stefan?
- Elena.

8
00:00:15,680 --> 00:00:17,808
Someone drove this stake through his heart.

9
00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:21,766
- I'd know if I were killing people.
- Had blackouts? Instances of lost time?

10
00:00:22,000 --> 00:00:24,321
You wear a ring
that lets you cheat death, Ric.

11
00:00:24,520 --> 00:00:27,649
How many times can you die
before it changes you?

12
00:00:37,960 --> 00:00:39,371
What are you looking for?

13
00:00:39,600 --> 00:00:43,161
I don't know. A tumor. Vascular anomalies.

14
00:00:43,360 --> 00:00:45,886
Anything physical
that might explain his behavior.

15
00:00:46,080 --> 00:00:47,809
If it's medical, I can treat it.

16
00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:49,047
And if it's not?

17
00:00:49,240 --> 00:00:51,971
Well, then we'll deal with that too.

18
00:01:01,120 --> 00:01:02,485
When did you suspect him?

19
00:01:02,680 --> 00:01:05,968
That it was Alaric
who was killing all of those people.

20
00:01:06,160 --> 00:01:09,130
It was after he told me about his ring.
I remembered a story...

21
00:01:09,320 --> 00:01:12,847
my grandmother told me about
Samantha Gilbert and her secret journal.

22
00:01:13,040 --> 00:01:17,090
I don't know if you know this,
but we Fells are notorious busybodies.

23
00:01:17,280 --> 00:01:19,647
But then why did you protect him?

24
00:01:21,680 --> 00:01:23,011
Because I'm a doctor.

25
00:01:23,200 --> 00:01:28,081
I don't like to see someone hurt
by something they have no control over.

26
00:01:29,440 --> 00:01:33,365
And because when he and I first met,
I felt like...

27
00:01:33,960 --> 00:01:37,362
I don't know,
I just kind of wanna help him.

28
00:02:14,320 --> 00:02:16,561
Everything all right in there?

29
00:02:21,360 --> 00:02:23,044
Yeah.

30
00:02:24,840 --> 00:02:27,320
Everything's okay.

31
00:02:34,840 --> 00:02:36,524
Meredith says everything's normal.

32
00:02:36,720 --> 00:02:40,122
Well, everything is normal
because there is nothing wrong with me.

33
00:02:40,320 --> 00:02:42,846
I didn't kill Brian Walters,
I didn't kill Bill Forbes...

34
00:02:43,040 --> 00:02:45,771
and I sure as hell didn't shove
a hunting knife into my stomach.

35
00:02:50,800 --> 00:02:55,681
Or I did, and I've gone insane
just like your ancestor who...

36
00:02:58,280 --> 00:02:59,611
wore that ring.

37
00:02:59,800 --> 00:03:02,963
I'm gonna call Bonnie.
The rings were made by a Bennett witch.

38
00:03:03,200 --> 00:03:06,170
So maybe a witch
can reverse the damage.

39
00:03:07,800 --> 00:03:09,325
Take it.

40
00:03:10,880 --> 00:03:12,211
I don't want it anymore.

41
00:03:20,320 --> 00:03:23,210
You ready to ditch
this house of horrors?

42
00:03:23,400 --> 00:03:24,970
Ooh, you look terrible.

43
00:03:26,400 --> 00:03:28,926
Yeah. Let me check out of here.

44
00:03:35,680 --> 00:03:39,207
I'll take him out for chicken soup,
make sure he doesn't kill anybody.

45
00:03:39,440 --> 00:03:40,680
What is wrong with you?

46
00:03:40,880 --> 00:03:44,487
How could you just go out feeding with
Stefan like some vampire pub crawl'?

47
00:03:44,680 --> 00:03:49,208
Right. I thought we were talking about
Alaric, but we're talking about Stefan.

48
00:03:49,400 --> 00:03:51,846
You stood there and let him feed
on an innocent girl.

49
00:03:52,080 --> 00:03:56,051
I didn't let him do anything. If you
wanna get nitpicky about it, I made him.

50
00:03:56,240 --> 00:03:57,287
Why would you do that?

51
00:03:57,480 --> 00:03:59,926
We're vampires.
We need human blood to survive.

52
00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:04,011
- We're predators, not puppies.
- Stefan found a way around it before.

53
00:04:04,200 --> 00:04:06,168
Stefan built himself
a delusional wagon...

54
00:04:06,360 --> 00:04:10,160
which he's repeatedly fallen off of.
What he needs to learn is control.

55
00:04:10,600 --> 00:04:13,126
He was able to manage
when he was drinking my blood...

56
00:04:13,320 --> 00:04:15,129
small amounts every single day.

57
00:04:15,320 --> 00:04:19,530
Ah, yes. Back when you two were in love
and it was all rainbows and unicorns.

58
00:04:20,200 --> 00:04:21,281
I'm just saying...

59
00:04:21,480 --> 00:04:25,769
maybe you're not the right person
to be teaching Stefan about self-control.

60
00:04:34,240 --> 00:04:35,651
- Hey.
- Hey.

61
00:04:35,840 --> 00:04:39,242
I totally lucked out.
The hospital just had a blood drive...

62
00:04:39,440 --> 00:04:45,004
so I got some O negatives,
some A's...

63
00:04:45,200 --> 00:04:49,524
and my personal favorite,
B positive.

64
00:04:50,720 --> 00:04:52,245
I, uh, made her a daylight ring.

65
00:04:52,640 --> 00:04:55,041
She's been standing out there all morning.

66
00:04:55,240 --> 00:04:57,811
I don't think she's taking this
very well.

67
00:04:58,000 --> 00:05:00,890
Well, it's only been a few days
since she turned.

68
00:05:01,640 --> 00:05:03,005
Your mom's still adjusting.

69
00:05:11,160 --> 00:05:12,605
Miss Wilson?

70
00:05:12,800 --> 00:05:15,531
Why don't you come inside?
Have something to drink.

71
00:05:15,720 --> 00:05:20,521
I can't feel it anymore.
My garden, it's gone.

72
00:05:22,960 --> 00:05:25,327
I can't feel anything.

73
00:05:30,040 --> 00:05:31,530
I don't understand.

74
00:05:33,400 --> 00:05:36,165
Witches have a connection
to the earth.

75
00:05:36,560 --> 00:05:39,643
We can literally feel nature.

76
00:05:40,120 --> 00:05:41,724
Life.

77
00:05:54,720 --> 00:05:58,691
When Abby became a vampire,
she lost it.

78
00:06:02,640 --> 00:06:05,325
I don't know how to help her.

79
00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:19,331
Rebekah's up to something.

80
00:06:19,560 --> 00:06:22,564
She's been snooping around
places she shouldn't be.

81
00:06:22,760 --> 00:06:24,205
Tell me again, why are we here?

82
00:06:24,440 --> 00:06:27,887
The world can't stop just because
you're an accidental psycho-killer.

83
00:06:28,560 --> 00:06:31,245
Do you have any tact whatsoever?

84
00:06:33,520 --> 00:06:36,888
Alaric, I'm glad you're here.
Did you bring the sign?

85
00:06:38,040 --> 00:06:39,804
The restored Wickery Bridge sign.

86
00:06:40,040 --> 00:06:42,646
The History Department promised
you would have it today.

87
00:06:42,880 --> 00:06:47,010
No, I don't have the sign, actually.
It slipped my mind.

88
00:06:47,200 --> 00:06:49,601
I've been busy.

89
00:06:50,800 --> 00:06:52,211
Well, it's not an emergency.

90
00:06:52,400 --> 00:06:56,041
We'll just, um, unveil it
when the bridge is complete.

91
00:06:58,120 --> 00:07:01,010
- Get me out of here.
- My pleasure.

92
00:07:01,200 --> 00:07:03,123
I'm gonna stick around for a bit.

93
00:07:04,240 --> 00:07:06,891
Wickery Bridge was built last century...

94
00:07:07,080 --> 00:07:08,684
with the expansion of Mystic Falls.

95
00:07:08,880 --> 00:07:10,803
- Who is that?
- A blast from the past.

96
00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:13,480
Replacing the original
wooden support structure...

97
00:07:13,680 --> 00:07:15,444
to meet modern safety standards.

98
00:07:15,640 --> 00:07:19,486
And our beautification phase
will be underway in the spring.

99
00:07:19,680 --> 00:07:20,966
So give yourselves a hand.

100
00:07:22,640 --> 00:07:26,122
Damon Salvatore, my favorite student.

101
00:07:26,320 --> 00:07:29,005
Sage, my hottest teacher.
What are you doing here?

102
00:07:29,480 --> 00:07:30,527
Just passing through.

103
00:07:30,760 --> 00:07:33,491
Oh, come on,
no one just passes through Mystic Falls.

104
00:07:33,720 --> 00:07:36,007
Look what the cat dragged in.

105
00:07:36,200 --> 00:07:39,807
Easy there, Rebekah. You know,
she used to beat men for sport.

106
00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:43,482
- She always was quite common.
- Rebekah. What a happy surprise.

107
00:07:43,680 --> 00:07:46,286
- What are you doing here?
- I heard Finn was freed...

108
00:07:46,520 --> 00:07:49,888
from that casket your rageaholic
brother Klaus carted him around in.

109
00:07:50,080 --> 00:07:51,684
Ooh, Finn, you just missed him.

110
00:07:51,880 --> 00:07:54,770
He left town and didn't tell a soul
where he was going.

111
00:07:54,960 --> 00:07:56,485
He probably went looking for me.

112
00:07:57,920 --> 00:08:00,048
Or, quite possibly,
he forgot all about you.

113
00:08:00,920 --> 00:08:03,526
- I doubt that.
- No?

114
00:08:03,720 --> 00:08:05,882
Because he didn't seem
to mention you.

115
00:08:06,080 --> 00:08:08,526
Sorry you came all this way
for nothing.

116
00:08:08,720 --> 00:08:10,245
Have a nice life.

117
00:08:12,400 --> 00:08:14,926
God, I hate that elitist Original bitch.

118
00:08:28,160 --> 00:08:31,607
- Hi.
- Hey.

119
00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:37,528
I'm sorry, Damon told Alaric that
there was no one home, otherwise I...

120
00:08:37,720 --> 00:08:39,006
I just got home.

121
00:08:41,400 --> 00:08:45,485
I just came by to pick up this book that
you found on my ancestor Samantha.

122
00:08:46,920 --> 00:08:48,922
It's fine.

123
00:08:50,440 --> 00:08:53,284
Uh, how are you doing?
Damon said that you were...

124
00:08:53,480 --> 00:08:57,041
Yeah, I'm, uh, okay.
Did you get everything you need?

125
00:08:59,200 --> 00:09:00,247
Yeah.

126
00:09:01,320 --> 00:09:04,290
Well, if there's anything I can do
to help...

127
00:09:05,400 --> 00:09:07,880
You don't have to read that, you know?

128
00:09:09,840 --> 00:09:11,683
I can just tell you what happened.

129
00:09:11,880 --> 00:09:14,724
Samantha Gilbert was committed
to an insane asylum.

130
00:09:14,920 --> 00:09:17,730
She tried to give herself a lobotomy
with a knitting needle...

131
00:09:17,920 --> 00:09:21,481
and bled to death
on the floor of her cell.

132
00:09:21,680 --> 00:09:26,481
If the same thing is happening to Alaric,
then there's nothing you can do.

133
00:09:30,480 --> 00:09:32,130
Okay, well...

134
00:09:33,200 --> 00:09:37,444
I'm gonna let you get back to, um,
whatever it was you were doing.

135
00:09:46,040 --> 00:09:49,408
Finn? Really?
- He's my one true love.

136
00:09:49,600 --> 00:09:51,728
He turned me
so we could be together forever.

137
00:09:51,920 --> 00:09:54,048
Then Klaus daggered him
and locked him away...

138
00:09:54,280 --> 00:09:55,964
and I've been waiting ever since.

139
00:09:56,160 --> 00:09:58,481
Please don't tell me
you and Rebekah are friends.

140
00:09:58,680 --> 00:10:00,648
- Not unless you count hate-sex.
- Good.

141
00:10:00,840 --> 00:10:03,002
Her and Klaus treated me
like some peasant whore.

142
00:10:03,240 --> 00:10:06,323
She's just lurking around
because she wants something from me.

143
00:10:06,520 --> 00:10:10,047
- Can't figure out what it is, though.
- Why don't you get inside her head?

144
00:10:10,240 --> 00:10:12,686
Because it's impossible.
She's too strong.

145
00:10:12,920 --> 00:10:15,651
- Bet I could get in.
- She's an Original. Not gonna happen.

146
00:10:15,880 --> 00:10:17,882
Have you forgotten everything
I taught you?

147
00:10:18,080 --> 00:10:20,560
Rebekah may be an Original,
but she's a girl.

148
00:10:20,800 --> 00:10:24,202
You find her weakness and exploit it,
and I'll walk right in.

149
00:10:25,960 --> 00:10:27,564
That is, if you want my help.

150
00:10:36,640 --> 00:10:40,008
Anyone ever tell you
you're sexy when you're bitchy?

151
00:10:40,440 --> 00:10:43,569
We're talking now, are we?
You were quite rude the other day.

152
00:10:43,760 --> 00:10:47,242
Using me to help you with Stefan,
then shooing me away like a stray dog.

153
00:10:47,440 --> 00:10:50,205
Oh, that was brother business.
You can't hold that against me.

154
00:10:50,400 --> 00:10:53,688
Besides, I really did appreciate
your help, even if I didn't show it.

155
00:10:53,920 --> 00:10:55,649
- You were mean.
- You like mean.

156
00:10:55,880 --> 00:10:57,211
No, I don't.

157
00:10:57,760 --> 00:11:00,411
No? You didn't get a thrill back there
pushing Sage down?

158
00:11:00,600 --> 00:11:02,329
Crushing her dreams of true love?

159
00:11:03,920 --> 00:11:06,890
- Maybe a little.
- See? Mean.

160
00:11:07,840 --> 00:11:11,242
Can Sage and I interest you in a drink
back at the house?

161
00:11:11,840 --> 00:11:13,569
Not a chance in hell.

162
00:11:13,760 --> 00:11:18,641
You know what they say,
two's company, three is a party.

163
00:11:23,680 --> 00:11:25,284
Fine.

164
00:11:28,280 --> 00:11:29,725
Enjoy the rest of your day.

165
00:11:38,120 --> 00:11:40,726
Haven't seen you up at the house.

166
00:11:41,280 --> 00:11:42,930
Abby's been asking for you.

167
00:11:44,320 --> 00:11:46,322
I've been pretty busy.

168
00:11:49,240 --> 00:11:51,641
- Hey! Hey! Stay away from me.
- Easy.

169
00:11:51,840 --> 00:11:54,684
I was just gonna help you
carry the firewood up.

170
00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:01,969
- You're scared of her.
- She's a vampire.

171
00:12:03,560 --> 00:12:06,131
She needs to feel connected
to the people she loves.

172
00:12:06,320 --> 00:12:09,961
- She needs to feel normal.
- She's not normal. None of this is.

173
00:12:10,200 --> 00:12:12,441
Abby didn't choose this.
This was forced on her.

174
00:12:12,640 --> 00:12:15,086
She could've let herself die,
but she didn't.

175
00:12:15,280 --> 00:12:16,884
She's trying to make this work...

176
00:12:17,080 --> 00:12:20,129
so she can be there for you
and for Bonnie, so...

177
00:12:25,040 --> 00:12:28,487
So just get over yourself. Okay?

178
00:12:29,440 --> 00:12:30,646
Hey. What's going on?

179
00:12:30,840 --> 00:12:32,604
Bonnie's not returning any of my calls.

180
00:12:32,800 --> 00:12:34,370
<i>Sorry. She's still mad</i>

181
00:12:34,600 --> 00:12:37,444
And, seriously, Abby's transition
has been a little rough...

182
00:12:37,640 --> 00:12:41,929
- ...so she's got a lot on her mind.
- I know and I get it...

183
00:12:42,840 --> 00:12:45,605
but something really terrible
is happening to Ric...

184
00:12:45,800 --> 00:12:47,564
and I really need her help.

185
00:12:50,400 --> 00:12:53,370
I really don't think you should
be looking through that stuff.

186
00:12:53,560 --> 00:12:57,201
Well, it's the truth.
Restraining orders and all.

187
00:12:57,400 --> 00:13:01,610
- My life in a series of police reports.
- You don't strike me as an angry guy.

188
00:13:01,840 --> 00:13:05,242
Which sounds weird given everything,
but you don't.

189
00:13:05,440 --> 00:13:07,522
Yeah, well,
I was stupid when I was younger.

190
00:13:07,760 --> 00:13:11,082
But listen, it's not like these guys
didn't have it coming.

191
00:13:11,280 --> 00:13:14,682
I mean, this guy here broke a beer bottle
over a bartender's head.

192
00:13:14,880 --> 00:13:17,929
This guy hit his girlfriend.

193
00:13:18,120 --> 00:13:21,408
And this guy...
Okay, this guy was just a douche.

194
00:13:23,080 --> 00:13:25,606
Everyone needs to find a way
to deal with their dark side.

195
00:13:25,800 --> 00:13:27,484
Some people meditate.

196
00:13:28,920 --> 00:13:29,967
I became a vampire hunter.

197
00:13:30,200 --> 00:13:32,282
- Mm, semi-retired.
- Hmm.

198
00:13:34,480 --> 00:13:37,848
There's something not in these reports
that I need to tell you about.

199
00:13:38,480 --> 00:13:42,849
Okay. Ominous. Shoot.

200
00:13:44,120 --> 00:13:48,967
Your cousin, Logan Fell,
the one who was vampire-slayed...

201
00:13:49,520 --> 00:13:50,885
I did the slaying.

202
00:13:57,640 --> 00:14:01,565
The vampire thing, it's not my fight.

203
00:14:01,760 --> 00:14:05,765
I use their blood for what I need,
and leave the judgment to everyone else.

204
00:14:06,240 --> 00:14:08,925
Although, I have kind of been wondering
why you never drove...

205
00:14:09,120 --> 00:14:10,485
a stake through Damon's heart.

206
00:14:11,920 --> 00:14:14,400
I tried once. He killed me.

207
00:14:16,640 --> 00:14:19,689
Yeah. Yeah, it figures.

208
00:14:19,920 --> 00:14:23,288
The thing that started all this ring stuff
was me being angry enough...

209
00:14:23,480 --> 00:14:26,484
to think I could take on a vampire
in the first place.

210
00:14:38,760 --> 00:14:41,127
Oh, come on. Slow down, brother.

211
00:14:45,080 --> 00:14:46,366
Whoa.

212
00:14:46,560 --> 00:14:49,848
Control, remember? Doesn't matter
whether it's blonds or blood bags.

213
00:14:50,040 --> 00:14:51,166
Same principles apply.

214
00:14:51,360 --> 00:14:55,126
- What'd you say to Elena this morning?
- Oh, you're stress-eating.

215
00:14:55,320 --> 00:14:58,722
Sublimating. You two deserve each
other with all your pining and moping.

216
00:14:58,920 --> 00:15:01,400
- I asked you a question.
- I told her what she knows.

217
00:15:01,600 --> 00:15:04,649
You're a vampire and you drink
human blood. And to get over it.

218
00:15:05,320 --> 00:15:08,085
Which is the same thing I'm telling you.
Own it. Live it. Love it.

219
00:15:08,280 --> 00:15:10,806
Stop being ashamed of who you are.

220
00:15:11,000 --> 00:15:12,331
Do me a favor, Damon.

221
00:15:12,520 --> 00:15:15,683
Next time you talk to Elena,
leave me out of it, okay?

222
00:15:16,240 --> 00:15:19,847
Gladly. Now, unless you're interested
in a Sage-Rebekah sex sandwich...

223
00:15:20,040 --> 00:15:24,011
I suggest you make yourself... scarce.

224
00:15:29,600 --> 00:15:30,726
Who are you again?

225
00:15:31,640 --> 00:15:35,486
The guy who lives out back.
You know, the one you're not related to.

226
00:15:35,680 --> 00:15:37,091
Right.

227
00:15:38,080 --> 00:15:41,482
- Caroline and I had a little talk.
- Sounds like Caroline lectured you.

228
00:15:41,680 --> 00:15:43,808
Maybe, but I needed it.

229
00:15:44,480 --> 00:15:47,643
Abby's always been there for me.
Now it's my turn.

230
00:15:49,040 --> 00:15:50,883
- Thought I could build a fire.
- Please.

231
00:15:51,080 --> 00:15:53,560
Maybe it'll distract everyone
from my crappy cooking.

232
00:16:05,600 --> 00:16:07,409
Jamie.

233
00:16:08,360 --> 00:16:09,725
I'm so sorry, Abby.

234
00:16:11,120 --> 00:16:13,043
I'm sorry about everything.

235
00:16:29,960 --> 00:16:31,689
No!
- Abby!

236
00:16:42,080 --> 00:16:43,844
Remember this song?

237
00:16:45,440 --> 00:16:48,922
All right, Miss Master Seductress,
where's our victim?

238
00:16:49,120 --> 00:16:51,885
Patience.
Between her craving for affection...

239
00:16:52,080 --> 00:16:54,890
and her pathological fear
of being left alone...

240
00:16:55,080 --> 00:16:59,642
our little get-together
is too tempting to resist.

241
00:17:01,120 --> 00:17:02,406
Finn's gone, you know.

242
00:17:05,000 --> 00:17:06,411
I choose to believe otherwise.

243
00:17:06,600 --> 00:17:11,481
He strung you along for 900 years,
didn't bother to call. He's gone.

244
00:17:11,680 --> 00:17:14,001
The Damon I knew
was holding out for someone too.

245
00:17:14,200 --> 00:17:16,202
Yes, he was. Hope's a bitch, Sage.

246
00:17:17,200 --> 00:17:18,964
Get out while you can.

247
00:17:21,480 --> 00:17:22,845
The sweet chime of desperation.

248
00:17:26,480 --> 00:17:28,881
I stole it from Nik,
who stole it from a queen.

249
00:17:29,080 --> 00:17:31,128
I'm not sure which one.

250
00:17:31,960 --> 00:17:35,760
Well, this is depressing.
What happened to the party?

251
00:17:36,440 --> 00:17:38,841
It just arrived.

252
00:18:17,880 --> 00:18:19,211
How about a duet?

253
00:18:51,240 --> 00:18:52,287
What about her?

254
00:18:54,680 --> 00:18:55,920
I don't want her.

255
00:18:57,800 --> 00:18:59,529
I want you.

256
00:19:26,360 --> 00:19:29,330
- You have to drink these, it'll help.
- I almost killed him.

257
00:19:29,560 --> 00:19:32,291
Caroline said this happens a lot at first
when you're new.

258
00:19:32,520 --> 00:19:35,888
No. I should just go right now.
Before I hurt Jamie again. Or you.

259
00:19:36,080 --> 00:19:39,402
The only way you're gonna hurt me
is if you leave.

260
00:19:40,160 --> 00:19:42,640
Don't give up on us. Not again.

261
00:19:44,680 --> 00:19:46,330
We can make this work.

262
00:19:53,800 --> 00:19:55,723
He's fine.

263
00:19:56,240 --> 00:19:59,323
Nothing a little vampire blood
can't cure.

264
00:19:59,520 --> 00:20:01,363
Thank you.

265
00:20:01,560 --> 00:20:03,130
Now I need a favor.

266
00:20:05,520 --> 00:20:06,806
I want you to have this.

267
00:20:07,000 --> 00:20:10,322
This is a list of my bank accounts,
passwords, where to find my will...

268
00:20:10,560 --> 00:20:13,609
and how to contact my family.
In case this doesn't go my way.

269
00:20:13,800 --> 00:20:15,040
No, don't think like that.

270
00:20:15,240 --> 00:20:17,925
I need to know that you and Jeremy
are gonna be okay.

271
00:20:18,120 --> 00:20:19,884
We're all gonna be fine.

272
00:20:24,120 --> 00:20:25,884
- Caroline?
- Abby thinks Bonnie can...

273
00:20:26,080 --> 00:20:27,764
reverse the damage with a spell.

274
00:20:27,960 --> 00:20:31,851
The same thing happens with witches
who become obsessed with dark magic.

275
00:20:32,080 --> 00:20:34,447
They lose control, start acting out
their darkest impulses.

276
00:20:35,920 --> 00:20:36,967
Thank you so much.

277
00:20:37,160 --> 00:20:41,245
I'm gonna hang back here with Abby,
but Bonnie's leaving now, so...

278
00:20:41,440 --> 00:20:43,249
Um, hold on.

279
00:20:45,800 --> 00:20:49,771
I need a personal effect of Alaric's.
Something he wore before the ring.

280
00:20:49,960 --> 00:20:52,691
Okay. Uh, yeah, I'll get it. Um...

281
00:20:52,880 --> 00:20:55,884
Bonnie, I'm so sorry for everything.
Thank you for doing this.

282
00:20:56,080 --> 00:20:59,971
Be ready to do the spell as soon
as I get there, we have to work fast.

283
00:21:02,040 --> 00:21:03,087
I'll see you soon.

284
00:21:06,240 --> 00:21:08,766
Good news? Bad news?

285
00:21:12,320 --> 00:21:14,687
Bonnie thinks that
she can help you with a spell.

286
00:21:15,120 --> 00:21:17,726
- It's worth a try.
- But she needs something you wore...

287
00:21:17,960 --> 00:21:21,123
before you put on the ring.
Something personal.

288
00:21:22,240 --> 00:21:24,049
Well, there's, uh...

289
00:21:25,320 --> 00:21:27,607
Maybe my wedding ring.
It's at the loft.

290
00:21:32,200 --> 00:21:34,407
Okay, yeah. Um, that's a good idea.

291
00:21:35,960 --> 00:21:38,770
I think it's better
if you stay here with me.

292
00:21:38,960 --> 00:21:41,042
Oh, you and your tranquilizers.

293
00:21:42,680 --> 00:21:44,330
It's in the dresser by the kitchen.

294
00:21:44,520 --> 00:21:48,570
It's in an aspirin bottle,
probably covered in cobwebs.

295
00:21:48,760 --> 00:21:50,000
Okay.

296
00:22:25,520 --> 00:22:26,601
What?

297
00:22:43,920 --> 00:22:46,571
I take it back. Your plan is amazing.

298
00:22:46,800 --> 00:22:52,648
Heh, I told you if you got her comfortable
enough she's an open book.

299
00:22:52,840 --> 00:22:56,128
What, are you gonna torture me
or you gonna tell me what's she up to?

300
00:22:56,320 --> 00:22:57,924
I'd rather show you.

301
00:23:05,640 --> 00:23:09,042
A white oak tree. There must have
been a new tree to replace the old.

302
00:23:10,720 --> 00:23:12,245
It probably got cut down.

303
00:23:12,440 --> 00:23:16,240
Do you happen to know who kept
the milling legers during that period?

304
00:23:18,640 --> 00:23:20,847
There's another tree.

305
00:23:23,960 --> 00:23:25,041
Milling records?

306
00:23:25,240 --> 00:23:27,971
Our family made one of its
many fortunes selling lumber.

307
00:23:28,160 --> 00:23:30,925
That's why Rebekah's been
digging around about this stuff.

308
00:23:31,120 --> 00:23:35,125
If that tree was milled by our yard, the
ledgers will say where it was shipped.

309
00:23:35,320 --> 00:23:37,926
The business archives
should be around here somewhere.

310
00:23:38,120 --> 00:23:41,761
Get upstairs.
Make sure you keep her distracted.

311
00:24:13,800 --> 00:24:15,529
You gotta be kidding me.

312
00:24:17,400 --> 00:24:19,004
Missed you at the house.

313
00:24:21,360 --> 00:24:22,885
Alaric told me you'd be here.

314
00:24:24,320 --> 00:24:26,971
You made yourself perfectly clear
this morning, Stefan.

315
00:24:27,920 --> 00:24:29,524
You don't wanna be around me.

316
00:24:30,040 --> 00:24:33,522
I'm not trying to hurt you, Elena.

317
00:24:34,560 --> 00:24:36,881
I just can't be
who you want me to be right now.

318
00:24:37,840 --> 00:24:40,320
I'm not in control.

319
00:24:44,120 --> 00:24:45,645
So then what are you doing here?

320
00:24:46,120 --> 00:24:50,728
Well, I, uh, did a little more digging
on Samantha Gilbert.

321
00:24:52,040 --> 00:24:54,486
Founding families were good
about destroying their records...

322
00:24:54,720 --> 00:24:57,246
but I found a couple
of newspaper articles.

323
00:24:57,440 --> 00:25:00,444
Seems she killed two people
while she was in the institution.

324
00:25:00,960 --> 00:25:05,249
- A nurse and a guard.
- So she was a psychopath. I get it.

325
00:25:05,480 --> 00:25:07,960
She was under suicide watch.

326
00:25:09,240 --> 00:25:11,527
No personal effects. No jewelry.

327
00:25:12,840 --> 00:25:16,731
Wait, so you're saying that
the violent behavior can still happen...

328
00:25:16,920 --> 00:25:19,161
even if the person
isn't wearing the ring?

329
00:25:21,280 --> 00:25:23,089
Still with me?

330
00:25:26,760 --> 00:25:29,889
Yeah. Yeah, I'm still with you.

331
00:25:30,080 --> 00:25:33,846
I'm half dead too.
Neither one of us has slept in two days.

332
00:25:34,040 --> 00:25:36,566
Don't worry, I've got coffee on.

333
00:26:19,440 --> 00:26:20,771
Rebekah just left.

334
00:26:20,960 --> 00:26:22,246
Happy, I hope.

335
00:26:22,440 --> 00:26:24,807
- You find what you were looking for?
- Yup.

336
00:26:25,000 --> 00:26:28,049
In 1912, the Salvatore Milling Company
chopped down a forest.

337
00:26:28,240 --> 00:26:30,925
Its most valuable wood
came from an old white oak tree...

338
00:26:31,120 --> 00:26:34,203
that was used to make
the Wickery Bridge.

339
00:26:34,440 --> 00:26:38,445
These aren't public record, so Rebekah's
gonna chase her tail for a long time.

340
00:26:38,640 --> 00:26:41,484
So all the wood stripped
from the underside of that bridge...

341
00:26:41,680 --> 00:26:44,331
- ...is a weapon that could kill an Original.
- Yup.

342
00:26:45,200 --> 00:26:48,329
You see how this could be
a problem for me, right?

343
00:26:57,400 --> 00:26:58,890
Why?

344
00:26:59,080 --> 00:27:01,890
Because of your true love, Finn?
Let me tell you something.

345
00:27:02,080 --> 00:27:04,287
I met the guy,
you're not gonna miss him.

346
00:27:04,480 --> 00:27:07,848
I will rip your head off in two seconds
if you take one more step.

347
00:27:11,200 --> 00:27:13,885
All right, let's make a deal.
You help me kill Rebekah...

348
00:27:14,080 --> 00:27:17,641
I consider Finn untouchable.
You guys walk into the sunset together.

349
00:27:17,840 --> 00:27:20,411
Is that a promise?

350
00:27:20,840 --> 00:27:23,810
Yes. It's a promise.

351
00:27:27,040 --> 00:27:30,328
What if Bonnie's spell doesn't work?
What are you gonna do with him?

352
00:27:30,520 --> 00:27:33,922
I'm gonna keep looking until
we can find something that'll help him.

353
00:27:34,120 --> 00:27:37,249
You don't know how long this has been
going on. Might be too late.

354
00:27:37,440 --> 00:27:41,331
It's my family's ring that's doing this
to him. It's my responsibility to fix it.

355
00:27:41,520 --> 00:27:45,002
You can't put that on yourself.
Not everyone is your responsibility.

356
00:27:45,200 --> 00:27:46,486
- Not everyone can be saved.
- Heh.

357
00:27:46,720 --> 00:27:49,724
Are we talking about Alaric here?
Or are we talking about you?

358
00:27:50,720 --> 00:27:54,441
Because I wasn't planning
on giving up on either of you.

359
00:28:12,440 --> 00:28:13,566
What is that?

360
00:28:16,400 --> 00:28:18,368
Pictures of his victims.

361
00:28:18,560 --> 00:28:21,291
Sage, let's go.
We have Originals to kill.

362
00:28:29,400 --> 00:28:30,970
Sage.

363
00:28:46,320 --> 00:28:50,086
"Jeremy, if anything happens to me,
carry on my work.

364
00:28:50,280 --> 00:28:52,931
You have the other ring,
let the ring make you strong.

365
00:28:53,160 --> 00:28:56,801
The Council must be cleansed
before the work can begin."

366
00:28:57,040 --> 00:28:59,122
It's a Founder's Council roster.

367
00:28:59,600 --> 00:29:01,204
Looks like some sort of hit list.

368
00:29:01,400 --> 00:29:05,200
- No, Alaric didn't write this.
- Who else would have written it, Elena?

369
00:29:16,040 --> 00:29:17,121
I have to get back.

370
00:29:19,560 --> 00:29:20,607
Looking for something?

371
00:29:20,800 --> 00:29:24,043
I don't know where anything is
in this house. Heh.

372
00:29:25,480 --> 00:29:27,721
I'm sorry, I can't remember,
do you take cream?

373
00:29:28,160 --> 00:29:29,207
No cream.

374
00:29:29,720 --> 00:29:32,644
I was gonna make sandwiches.
I'm starving.

375
00:29:35,560 --> 00:29:36,766
Can I ask you a question?

376
00:29:37,000 --> 00:29:39,685
No mustard. I hate mustard.

377
00:29:40,640 --> 00:29:42,688
Do you ever feel remorse?

378
00:29:48,040 --> 00:29:49,246
Sorry?

379
00:29:49,680 --> 00:29:51,444
Well...

380
00:29:53,360 --> 00:29:54,964
you are a Council member...

381
00:29:55,320 --> 00:30:00,008
and the Council was formed to protect
the people of this town from vampires.

382
00:30:00,200 --> 00:30:03,761
Yet here you all are
just looking the other way...

383
00:30:03,960 --> 00:30:07,567
ignoring your responsibilities.

384
00:30:07,760 --> 00:30:10,684
Like you and your vampire blood.

385
00:30:11,680 --> 00:30:13,842
So I'm asking you...

386
00:30:14,520 --> 00:30:17,524
do you ever feel remorse?

387
00:30:20,520 --> 00:30:21,567
Because you should.

388
00:31:14,320 --> 00:31:17,449
Your grand plans always seem
to get ruined, don't they?

389
00:31:17,680 --> 00:31:19,648
Sorry to disappoint you...

390
00:31:19,840 --> 00:31:21,205
again.

391
00:31:26,600 --> 00:31:27,931
You set me up.

392
00:31:28,440 --> 00:31:30,920
No. I'm just looking out for myself.

393
00:31:31,120 --> 00:31:33,771
I told you
I'd save your creepy boyfriend.

394
00:31:33,960 --> 00:31:35,121
You lied to me, Damon.

395
00:31:35,320 --> 00:31:38,244
The Originals are linked.
If one dies, they all die.

396
00:31:39,680 --> 00:31:43,765
If I could get inside her head, don't
you think I'd be able to get inside yours?

397
00:31:45,960 --> 00:31:48,884
- I should end you.
- I'm 900 years old, Damon...

398
00:31:49,320 --> 00:31:51,163
you're not capable of ending me.

399
00:31:53,120 --> 00:31:56,920
You think I would risk Finn's life
for one of your petty revenge fantasies?

400
00:31:57,120 --> 00:32:00,886
Let me tell you something,
your long-lost love has a suicide wish.

401
00:32:02,320 --> 00:32:05,403
When Mama Witch linked them in a spell,
he's the one that volunteered to die.

402
00:32:05,600 --> 00:32:06,647
He wouldn't do that.

403
00:32:06,840 --> 00:32:09,081
He didn't wanna live.
Not for you, not for anyone.

404
00:32:09,320 --> 00:32:10,890
He doesn't love you, Sage.

405
00:32:11,800 --> 00:32:16,044
And when I do find another way to kill
those Originals, I'll start with Finn.

406
00:32:46,760 --> 00:32:48,728
Hey, there.

407
00:32:51,400 --> 00:32:54,210
Hi. Where's Meredith?

408
00:32:54,560 --> 00:32:57,404
She got called, uh, in to the hospital
for a last-minute surgery.

409
00:32:57,600 --> 00:32:59,682
But she'll be back later.

410
00:33:01,560 --> 00:33:03,005
What happened?

411
00:33:03,200 --> 00:33:09,765
Oh, I broke a coffee cup and sliced my
hand open trying to pick up the pieces.

412
00:33:10,000 --> 00:33:12,890
But, uh, I'll live. Heh.

413
00:33:13,480 --> 00:33:15,005
Did Stefan catch up with you?

414
00:33:16,880 --> 00:33:18,291
No.

415
00:33:20,600 --> 00:33:21,726
Did you get my ring?

416
00:33:23,720 --> 00:33:25,484
I couldn't find it.

417
00:33:26,280 --> 00:33:30,046
Yeah, well, my place
is a bit of a disaster. Heh.

418
00:33:30,240 --> 00:33:34,450
I guess I'll, uh, just have to go get it.

419
00:33:47,440 --> 00:33:49,363
- No, don't hurt him.
- I'm trying not to.

420
00:34:06,360 --> 00:34:09,409
Elena, I need you
to come upstairs with me.

421
00:34:10,280 --> 00:34:12,123
Why?

422
00:34:14,360 --> 00:34:15,885
I'm gonna need your help.

423
00:34:23,280 --> 00:34:25,044
Meredith. Hey.

424
00:34:49,280 --> 00:34:51,567
You're gonna be okay.

425
00:35:16,440 --> 00:35:18,283
What the hell are you doing here?

426
00:35:19,520 --> 00:35:23,047
Just making sure the witch didn't
turn you into a toad or a block of salt.

427
00:35:23,240 --> 00:35:24,287
Huh?

428
00:35:24,480 --> 00:35:26,687
Bonnie did a little spell.
It's nothing to worry about.

429
00:35:26,880 --> 00:35:29,724
Just something to keep
the killer in you at bay.

430
00:35:33,640 --> 00:35:34,687
Did something happen?

431
00:35:34,880 --> 00:35:38,202
Let's say you've got an alter ego
hell bent on killing Council members.

432
00:35:38,440 --> 00:35:42,490
So we're gonna pack up some stuff, we're
gonna go to the loft for a little bit.

433
00:35:42,680 --> 00:35:44,808
You know, it's like house arrest lite.

434
00:35:47,880 --> 00:35:49,689
Wait, where's Meredith?

435
00:35:54,200 --> 00:35:56,123
She'll be fine, Ric.

436
00:36:04,400 --> 00:36:06,243
Hey.

437
00:36:09,240 --> 00:36:10,969
You okay?

438
00:36:11,280 --> 00:36:12,566
Yeah, I'm fine.

439
00:36:12,760 --> 00:36:15,206
Abby says all the dying
and coming back to life...

440
00:36:15,440 --> 00:36:17,124
chipped away at Alaric's psyche...

441
00:36:17,360 --> 00:36:19,886
making it easier
for the darkness to take hold.

442
00:36:20,080 --> 00:36:22,890
These herbs are the binding element
of the spell.

443
00:36:23,080 --> 00:36:25,651
He needs to take them twice a day.
I'll get you more.

444
00:36:27,920 --> 00:36:30,844
Abby and I are gonna
work on the garden.

445
00:36:33,440 --> 00:36:34,965
How is she doing?

446
00:36:36,320 --> 00:36:40,041
The transition's been hard,
but I think she'll be okay.

447
00:36:40,240 --> 00:36:41,287
Eventually.

448
00:36:41,480 --> 00:36:43,926
I'm gonna go back
and stay with her for a while.

449
00:36:44,120 --> 00:36:46,805
It'll give us a chance
to work things through.

450
00:36:50,680 --> 00:36:54,446
I'm sorry, Bonnie,
I didn't want this to happen.

451
00:36:54,640 --> 00:36:58,122
If there was anything that I could do
to make it different, I...

452
00:37:06,480 --> 00:37:08,164
I know.

453
00:37:10,320 --> 00:37:12,482
Please say that you forgive me.

454
00:37:15,640 --> 00:37:17,051
Of course I do.

455
00:37:20,840 --> 00:37:22,126
Am I even doing this right?

456
00:37:22,320 --> 00:37:25,005
- Yeah, heh, you're doing fine.
- Okay, heh.

457
00:37:25,320 --> 00:37:28,164
Hey, um, thanks for helping out with Abby.

458
00:37:28,360 --> 00:37:31,409
Bonnie's really lucky
to have a friend like you.

459
00:37:32,160 --> 00:37:36,609
Well, I went through
the same thing once...

460
00:37:38,040 --> 00:37:39,804
with my dad.

461
00:37:41,560 --> 00:37:46,202
But it didn't really work out, so...

462
00:37:48,040 --> 00:37:49,849
You know. Ha, ha.

463
00:37:51,880 --> 00:37:55,646
Well, when Bonnie gets back,
she can snap her fingers...

464
00:37:55,840 --> 00:37:59,970
or wave her hands, or whatever,
and make the herbs bloom, heh.

465
00:38:01,840 --> 00:38:03,569
<i>L think Abby's up.</i>

466
00:38:10,720 --> 00:38:12,722
What are you doing?

467
00:38:16,400 --> 00:38:18,687
You're leaving.

468
00:38:20,200 --> 00:38:23,409
- Are you kidding me?
- I have to.

469
00:38:23,920 --> 00:38:27,720
- I don't know how to do this.
- Do what? Be a vampire or a parent?

470
00:38:28,080 --> 00:38:31,766
Because I can help you be a vampire.
I can teach you self-control...

471
00:38:31,960 --> 00:38:34,770
but being a parent, that's all you.

472
00:38:35,640 --> 00:38:39,122
Bonnie grew up without a mom
because you ran away once.

473
00:38:39,320 --> 00:38:42,961
You have an eternity to make up for it,
and you're gonna throw that away?

474
00:38:43,160 --> 00:38:45,367
- She's better off without me.
- No, she's not.

475
00:38:45,560 --> 00:38:48,166
No one is better off
without their parents.

476
00:38:54,880 --> 00:38:56,609
She wants to make this work.

477
00:38:56,800 --> 00:38:58,882
Please.

478
00:39:00,760 --> 00:39:02,000
Just stay.

479
00:39:16,200 --> 00:39:17,770
Tell them I'm sorry.

480
00:39:42,560 --> 00:39:45,245
<i>Hello?
- Hey, stranger.</i>

481
00:39:45,480 --> 00:39:46,845
You checking up on me?

482
00:39:48,120 --> 00:39:49,770
Do you need checking up on?

483
00:39:49,960 --> 00:39:53,362
Well, I'm not flunking
any of my classes. Yet.

484
00:39:53,560 --> 00:39:55,642
<i>And I got a dog.</i>

485
00:39:57,920 --> 00:40:00,969
Hey, have you talked to Alaric lately?

486
00:40:01,560 --> 00:40:03,369
Uh. no. Why?

487
00:40:03,560 --> 00:40:05,449
Is everything okay?

488
00:40:06,840 --> 00:40:09,571
Yeah. Everything's fine. Um...

489
00:40:10,360 --> 00:40:12,169
I just wanted to hear your voice.

490
00:40:14,000 --> 00:40:15,764
Okay. Hey, can I call you later?

491
00:40:15,960 --> 00:40:18,088
I'm actually on my way out
with some friends.

492
00:40:20,080 --> 00:40:25,086
Yeah, um, of course, Jer.
Go out, go have fun, and, um...

493
00:40:28,080 --> 00:40:30,606
I just miss you.

494
00:40:32,160 --> 00:40:34,242
Yeah. Yeah, I miss you too.

495
00:40:58,280 --> 00:41:01,204
Little early in the day for you, isn't it?

496
00:41:02,360 --> 00:41:04,727
Just having a little toast.

497
00:41:05,200 --> 00:41:07,009
To what?

498
00:41:07,200 --> 00:41:08,725
Control.

499
00:41:10,880 --> 00:41:12,530
If you're happy, I'm happy.

500
00:41:13,720 --> 00:41:15,449
Why you in such a good mood?

501
00:41:15,640 --> 00:41:18,928
Sage double-crossed you,
the tree's a pile of ash...

502
00:41:19,160 --> 00:41:21,083
Alaric's got a psychopathic
alter ego.

503
00:41:21,280 --> 00:41:23,760
You know, Stefan,
I'm a philanthropist.

504
00:41:24,000 --> 00:41:29,928
I make the world a better place.
Restoring bridges, landmarks...

505
00:41:33,560 --> 00:41:37,326
and historical signs made of the same
