• With Katherine •
MYSTIC FALLS, 1864
[A horse drawn carriage with a driver and his passenger are heading down a dirt road.
Up ahead, in the middle of the road, lies a man with a woman kneeling beside him.
The woman gets up when she sees the carriage and starts shouting.]
[Katherine runs toward the carriage as it comes to a halt.]
[The driver jumps down from his seat and goes to check on the man in the road.
The passenger of the vehicle opens the carriage door and exits.]
[Katherine bares his fangs and bites the man's neck.
The man screams as Katherine drains the life out of him.
Meanwhile, the driver is kneeling over Damon's body, but turns around when he hears screaming.
He sees his passenger's dead body lying by the carriage, but does not see Katherine.
He looks back the other way and Katherine has appeared right in front of him.
Her eyes become red and she drains the blood from the man who screams for his life.
She tosses him aside when she has drained him, blood drenching here chin.]
[Katherine wipes the front of her dress with her palms.
Damon slowly and cautiously gets up and looks at the two dead men.]
Damon : What happens to the bodies?
[Damon seems frightened]
Damon : [nods] I'm ready. I want you to turn me.
[Damon pulls a handkerchief from his coat pocket with a flourish.
He moves to wipe the blood off Katherine's chin, but Katherine grabs his hand and moves in closer.]
[Katherine moves in to kiss Damon, but Damon moves away.]
Damon : Sorry.
[Damon hesitates for a moment before kissing Katherine with a fiery passion.
Damon pulls away and the blood from Katherine's chin has smudge on Damon's lips which Katherine wipes at with her finger.]
SALVATORE BOARDING HOUSE
•with Stefan and Elena•
[Stefan and Elena are snuggled up in Stefan's bed. Elena awakens and Stefan wakes up shortly after this and kisses Elena on the cheek as Elena pulls his arm tighter around her.]
Damon : Rise and shine, sleepyheads.
[Elena and Stefan both sit up, startled at Damon's presence at the end of Stefan's bed.
Both of them pull the sheets up to their chins, covering up any parts they may not want Damon to see.]
Damon : Oh, stop being smutty.
[Stefan pulls the sheets further up on Elena, making sure she's covered up properly.]
Damon: If I see something I haven't seen before, I'll throw a dollar at it.
Now listen, we have some very important business to discuss.
Damon: Well, we have lots to do, now that we're all friends and working toward a common goal.
[Stefan and Elena exchange looks. Damon gets up from the end of the bed and turns around to face them.]
Damon : So, in order to open the tomb, we need to find the journal to get the grimoire to undo the spells.
First things first-since you are Elena Gilbert, you're on journal duty.
Damon : Well, Stefan's helping, and you've taken up residence in Stefan's bed, ergo...
[Elena lays back down in the bed, pulling the sheets over her face.]
Damon : Good.
Damon : In lieu of any other options.
[Elena pulls the sheets down and sits up suddenly.]
Damon : It's a witch's cookbook.
Damon : Yeah. Cookbook.
Damon : And I don't like that disadvantage, so...
[claps his hands together] Chop, chop.
[starts to walk out of the room, turns around, and continues to walk backwards out of the room while talking to Elena and Stefan]
You know, I really like this whole menage a threesome team thing.
It's got a bit of a kink to it.
[He chuckles.] Don't screw it up.
[Damon exits the room. After a second, Elena looks over at Stefan.]
MYSTIC FALLS, 1864 - SALVATORE HOME
[Katherine and Damon are under the covers in Katherine's bed. Katherine giggles loudly.]
[Katherine pulls the covers down and Damon pops up next to her, wrapping his arm around her waist.]
Damon : Make me.
[Katherine rolls Damon over and straddles him, baring her fangs and hissing.
Damon looks up at her with curiosity.
He caresses her face and she places her hand on top of his, smiling down at him. Suddenly, someone knocks on the door.]
[Katherine retracts her fangs and her eyes become normal again She turns her head to see who's entering, but remains on top of Damon, pinning his wrists down with her hands.
Emily enters the room.]
[Emily waits to be dismissed.]
[Emily exits the room, shutting the door behind her.
Katherine looks down at Damon, pouting her bottom lip.]
Damon : Hmm, no.
[Damon caresses Katherine's face and Katherine leans down and kisses him.]
GILBERT HOUSE
•with Jenna. Later Elena.•
[Damon is slicing a tomato and talking to Jenna, who is sitting on a counter with a glass of wine in hand.]
Damon : My father never approved of anyone I dated, which only made me want them more. Of course. What about you?
Damon : They ever find him? Or is he still missing?
[Jenna drains the remainder of her wine.]
[Damon chuckles and walks over to Jenna, pouring more wine into her glass. She raises her glass to him and Damon turns back around to continue cooking.]
Damon : Hello, Elena.
[Jenna turns around right when Elena enters the kitchen. She is shocked to see Damon there.]
Damon : Is Stefan with you?
Elena : Um - he'll be here soon.
[Elena leans against the counter which Jenna is sitting on and watches Damon with distaste.]
[Damon places something at the dinner table and heads back to the kitchen.
Elena is carrying plates towards the table and Damon deliberately bumps into her.]
Damon : Whoa. Mmm.
[Elena smiles in an annoyed way and shakes her head as she continues on past Damon to place the plates at the table.]
Elena : [Chuckles] Don't do that.
Damon : Do what?
Elena : You know what. That move was deliberate.
Damon : Well, yeah, I was deliberately trying to get to the sink.
[Elena looks back at Damon and scoffs. Damon, now at the stove, stirs a boiling pot of water.]
Damon : Speaking of Stefan, where is he? He's missing family night, which I am enjoying immensely.
[Elena walks back into the kitchen to gather more dinnerware. Damon pauses briefly before changing the topic.]
Damon : Is it real?
Elena : Is what real?
Damon : This renewed sense of brotherhood. [He takes the spoon out of the pot and tastes the sauce] Can I trust him?
Elena : [looks boldly at him] Yes, you can trust him.
[Elena walks back to the table to place the napkins. Damon vamp-speeds over to her. Elena turns around and looks up at him.]
Damon : Can I trust him?
Elena : I'm wearing vervain, Damon. It's not going to work.
Damon : I'm not compelling you. I just want you to answer me. Honestly.
Elena : Of course you can.
[Elena moves around Damon and back into the kitchen.]

[Katherine hits the ball with her mallet, knocking it through the bridge.
Giuseppe sighs and Katherine giggles devilishly.
Damon and Stefan approach the pair.]
Damon : She's good. I almost believe she genuinely likes him.
Damon : [scoffs] She knows father would have her killed if he knew the truth.
[Damon turns his body towards Stefan and faces him fully.]
Damon : Have you gone mad? [Its about Stefan wanna tell their father bout Katherine] No, no, father would drive the stake in her himself!
Damon : No, no, not with this. Please, promise me you won't tell him, Stefan.
[Damon grips Stefan's shoulder. Katherine watches them from across the garden, her smile faltering. They look over at her.]
GILBERT HOUSE
•with Elena, Jenna, Jeremy, Stefan•
Damon : There was a time when I trusted him more than anyone.
Elena : Trust breeds trust. You have to give it to get it.
Damon : Are you lecturing me?
Elena : [places hand on hip] Do you need to be lectured?
Damon : I just want her back. I'm sure you can understand that.
Elena : I can understand that you would do anything for her, yes.
[Elena walks past Damon and places a bowl on the table. Damon threateningly makes his next statement, close behind Elena's back.]
Damon : Then you understand what I will do if anyone gets in my way.
[Damon walks away, leaving Elena looking disturbed.]
[Later on, Damon and Jeremy are sitting in the family room playing a video game.]
Damon : I'm a fast learner. Quick reflexes.
[Jeremy's phone goes off. He pauses the game and takes out his phone, but ignores the call, he tosses his phone aside and unpauses the game.]
Damon : Who are you dodging?
Damon : Is she hot?
Damon : Hot trumps weird, trust me.
[Jeremy smiles and laughs.]
[In the kitchen, Jenna and Elena are talking. Damon eavesdrops in on their conversation with his vampire hearing.]
Elena : Shh!
[Damon smirks at Jenna's comment.]
Elena : [looks over at Damon] He's an ass. [Damon rolls his eyes and stops listening in. Elena continues going through things in a box while Jenna helps out.]
Elena : I thought there might be something about my birth parents.
Elena : I will. When the time is right.
[Elena closes up the box. The doorbell rings.]
Elena : That's Stefan.
[Damon quickly gets up from the couch and walks over to the door. Jeremy watches him go, agitated.]
[Elena opens the front door, Damon right behind her. Stefan looks at Damon, confused to why he's at the house, then to Elena, who shrugs.]
Damon : Well?
[Stefan, Damon, and Elena walk out onto the front porch to talk.]
Damon : Who took it?
Damon : You know what, it's that teacher. There's something really off about him.
Damon : Who else knew it was there? [Stefan looks through the window at Jeremy, but doesn't day anything. Damon looks at Jeremy also and begins to walk back into the house.]
Elena : No. Damon, leave him out of it!
Damon : Why, what's the big deal?
Elena : Damon! [Damon walks into the house, Elena and Stefan right behind him. Damon sits on the arm of the sofa to speak with Jeremy.]
Damon : So....I heard you found a really cool journal from back in the day. Who else did you show it to?
Damon : Don't ask questions, just spill.
Elena : [to Jeremy] Jer, did you tell anyone other than Mr. Saltzman about Jonathan Gilbert's journal?
Elena : Who else did you tell?
Damon : The hot, weird one?
Damon : That's what I want to find out.
[Elena's phone starts ringing. Elena goes off to answer it, leaving Damon to question Jeremy.]
Damon : How do you know her?
Damon : Perfect. I'll drive. Come on.

Damon : Damn. You're strong for a little thing.
[Anna places her bag on the counter and sits down, looking at Damon.]
Damon : How long have you been here?
Damon : How did you know about the spell?
[Damon moves closer to Anna, trying to intimidate her.]
Damon : So if you've been here the whole time, then why are we just crossing paths right now?

OLD CEMETERY IN THE MIDDLE OF THE WOODS
Damon : Well, what do you know?
[Elena and Stefan, startled, turn around to see Damon. Damon's lip curls up in a snarl.]
Damon : This is an interesting turn of events.
Damon : So am I. For thinking for even a second that I could trust you.
Damon : Of course I was going to do it by myself, because the only one I can count on is me! You made sure of that many years ago, Stefan. But you...
[Damon looks back at Elena.]
Damon: You had me fooled.
[Damon looks hurt and Elena looks ashamed.]
Damon : So what are you going to do now? Because if you try and destroy that, I'll rip her heart out.
[Damon nods, knowing Stefan is right. Instead, he vamp-speeds over to Elena and grabs her in a chokehold.]
Damon : I can do one better.
[Damon bites his wrist and forces Elena to drink his blood. Elena struggles.]
Damon : Give me the book, Stefan, or I'm snapping her neck. And you and I will have a vampire girlfriend. (He said You and I... )
[Damon pulls his wrist away from Elena's mouth.]
Damon : The book!
Damon : Problem is, I no longer trust that you'll give it back!
[Damon, still keeping Elena in a chokehold, nods at Stefan.]
[Stefan, eyes filled with terror, slowly places the book on the ground and reaches out for Elena.
Damon places his face against Elena's hair, looking as if he might not let her go, but slowly he pulls his arm away from her.
Elena slowly edges to the side of the grave, then quickly jumps over it and into Stefan's arms.
Stefan wraps her in a warm embrace.
