So this anchor thing, does it mean that you'll, like, be able to feel Katherine's death or whatever?
I think so. I mean, she's human, but she's also a Doppelgänger and Traveler apparently.
So who else do you see over there? Anybody I know?
I see lots of people. My Grams, the other witches. Vicki. I just don't talk about it, you know, I just--
Because it's depressing as hell. Tell Matty I love him.
She's here. She said she loves you.
Tell him that I watch over him and no more knocking around with that blond original chick who almost got him killed.
Wait. Wait. What's happening? What am I missing?
Rebekah says to tell you that I'm her parting gift. Hey, Care.
We've really gone through four bottles of bourbon today?
Can someone really tell these idiots to lay off the booze?
Where the hell have you been? I thought you bailed on us to go find peace or something.
Do you honestly think I'd leave Damon in charge and never look back?
He's talking about me, isn't he?
Ding-dong. Does that mean the witch is dead?
No. Uh-uh. It's too soon. I can't.
(Katherine wakes up gasping in Stefan's room)
Wow, you really don't want to die, do you? I swear I just heard your heat stop.
I thought I was a goner there for a second, but I still have unfinished business.
So do I. I had this whole speech that I was preparing to give your unconscious body.
Let me guess. Hate, loathe, screw you, die, bitch, et cetera.
Yes. Plus one more thing. I forgive you.
I forgive you. You weren't born evil. Your life made you that way. You lost everyone that you cared about way too young, and you didn't have a family that looked after you. Sound familiar?
Is this the... "We're not so different you and I" Doppelgänger speech? Because I'd be happy to skip it.
I'll save it for the funeral that we probably won't have for you.
I just wanted to get the forgiveness part out. It's part of me that I... I never want to lose.
Good for you. Now maybe you can help a girl out and give me one more syringe, and if anyone's gonna plunge a needle in me one last time, may as well be you. Symmetry and all that. Elena... Thank you for your forgiveness.
Jaryakat a zem. Daryeet acza.
Hey, I need a favor. You know how Damon was trying to be all noble and broke up with Elena?
Of course. There was champagne.
Yeah. Well, I kind of convinced him he was an idiot.
And now he's in a bit of a mood, and something tells me that he's been trying to get ahold of Elena, but she hasn't been returning his phone calls.
Look. I would love to help if I thought he was actually good for her, but I don't.
Caroline, how would you like to be judged solely based on who you're attracted too? Come on.
Why? Do you know something?
Why? Should I know something?
I just mean are you sure that this is you really want? You know, Elena and Damon or Damon and Elena, or-- I know that there's a nickname in there somewhere.
Listen. I actually think that Elena is good for Damon. She makes him happy, and we all know that when Damon is happy...
He's not out there killing people, which I guess is a plus for mankind.
But even if I wanted to help, she's not here. I thought that she was with you.
She told me she was staying at Whitmore.
Ok. That's weird. Well, where the hell is she?
You're not gonna hurt me. Elena would--
Elena would what? Hurt me, dump me? Been there, done that, wrote the country song.
Kill you. She would kill you.
Cool. And then me and all her doppelgängers could start a baseball team on the Other Side.
(Enzo called Stefan with Damon's phone) Oh, my god. Damon?
Hello, Stefan. How wonderful to hear your beautiful feminine voice.
Enzo. What the hell do you want?
I'm in a spot of trouble, actually.
Oh, he's here, salivating, about to chomp into my neck and feed until my head pops off in a grotesque but slightly comical fashion.
Hey. When did you get here?
Eh, about 1 1/2 of these ago. You were right. I brought this on myself. I knew the Klaus thing was gonna come with consequences. Guess no I just have to deal with it and learn from my mistakes.
Glad I could help. So did you find Matt?
Yes, and Tyler was right. Nadia's been compelling him to forget things.
What do you mean? What kind of things?
Who knows? He tried to message me, but Nadia stopped him. "Help. K" was all I got.
So you and Elena? What's the verdict?
Um, well, the verdict is she's acting strange. She kissed me.
Yeah. My car broke down, so we got a hotel room so she could shower-
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. You guys got a hotel room with a shower?
Yeah, but it wasn't like that. I mean, I stopped it obviously. I couldn't do that to Damon.
Yeah, but she could? I just--I don't get it. She knows that would destroy him. What is she doing?
That's what I mean. It's like she's given up on Damon, and he thinks that she was trying to get me to kill him tonight.
No. I mean, she may be mad at him, but she would never want him dead.
Unless... Matt texted you, "Help. K," before Nadia stopped him. "K," as in Katherine, and when Katherine was dying, Nadia figured out a way to put Katherine's spirit inside Nadia's body.
Yeah, but that didn't happen because Katherine had a change of heart. No. No. You don't think that-- it's impossible that she's be-- we would have noticed. It's Elena. We know her. Oh, my god.
We haven't noticed that Katherine's been inhabiting Elena's body for weeks, and that's all you've got to say?
And you realize that it was Katherine who broke up with you, it wasn't Elena?
So, your little murder spree with Enzo where you killed Aaron, you nearly killed Jeremy, tried to kill Wes but you got infected with that ripper virus-- that was all you reacting to Katherine.
I'm trying to figure out why you decided to tell a starving, bloodthirsty, vampire-feeding ripper that his nemesis is still walking around alive and well while I am stuck in this cell and can't do anything about it.
You just had your lunch 30 minutes ago.
Or you could give me a couple sips of that hybrid juice. I can be on my way and I'll take up my ripper situation with Wes.
Can I ask you a question without you getting all wolf man on me?
I'm a hybrid, and you need a babysitter.
Oh, no, I mean here, in Mystic Falls, here. Your family's all dead, and I don't see you getting a job at the grill. Yet I don't see you in a Whitmore hoodie, either. Something tells me that there's a little masochistic voice inside your head that's trying to convince you that you and Caroline still have a fighting chance in hell.
I think you have enough problems without having to worry about me.
You're probably right. One small difference between you and me - you want to hear it?
You see, even after all the terrible things I do, Elena still chose me. Because she's fighting for me. Caroline, on the other hand, chose the nuclear option. You know that big, red button that just nukes your entire relationship once as for all? Well, sleeping with the guy that killed your mom was kind of her way of slamming her hand down.
You think Elena will still want you back after this? It's over, Damon. Fix yourself and run. Far away.
I plan on it. How's New Orleans this time of year?
You really think Elena's gonna forgive you? Look at you. You killed her friend. You almost killed her brother. You nearly killed her. You're a joke, Damon.
Says the guy pining after the girl who slept with Klaus.
You don't know anything about me.
I know how to get you in this cell.
