SilasYou ever play the "What If" game? When you're calcified for 2,000 years you learn to entertain yourself with these little brain teasers.
You looking for Silas or you waxing nostalgic about misspent youth?
What happened to you being over it?
What do you mean?
Well, I mean, for a guy who's ready to move on, you seemed pretty convincing as a boyfriend out on the dance floor.
I mean, isn't that what we're doing, reminding Elena of what she's lost?
Like her feelings for you?
Yeah. Yeah, maybe.
Hmm.
I mean... I don't mean to be a dick, Damon, but Elena and I have a history. Memories, laughs, ups and downs. It was a real relationship. I mean, what you have is just a one-night stand that was probably the result of the sire-bond. (Damon moves toward Stefan and gets staked) Your mind is a very dark and riveting place, Damon.
Uh, Silas. Where's my brother, you psychic freak?
SilasHe's in the woods, where I convinced him I was you. He's probably in a bit of pain now, too. The witch is mine. Stay away from her.
Silas[in Elena's form] Don't bother. I'm not in there anymore.
Silas. You were stone. They saw you. The spell worked.
SilasThat's the funny thing about spells. They're bound by nature, and nature demands balance, so every spell has a loophole. The spell that turned me to stone was bound by a witch, a living witch, so when that witch died, the spell broke.
Bonnie. Bonnie's not dead.
SilasDoesn't matter, does it? And here's where the mystery of me comes full circle. I created the immortality spell 2,000 years ago. I could never die, so nature needed to find a balance, a version of me that could die. A shadow self; a doppelganger.
So this is finally your real face? You're another one of them?
SilasNot exactly. Hello, my shadow self.
SilasOh. I'm outing myself as not-Stefan. Obviously. Don't be afraid. Don't move.
What's happening?
SilasWe've met before, actually, when I was appearing as your daughter. To bash your head in? Does that ring any bells?
Silas.
SilasIndeed. I am a 2,000- year-old immortal that Caroline and her friends thought they got rid of.
Are you appearing to me as Stefan?
SilasWell, yes and no. This is my true form. Stefan is my doppelganger.
SilasWhy are you in my brother's bathtub?
Why aren't you?
SilasI will say that's a tempting offer.
Mm. He flirts. I like Elena-less Stefan.
SilasYou know, human looks better on you than I would have guessed, Katherine.
I think you just accidentally gave me a compliment.
SilasNope. I mean it. You sitting here all weak and vulnerable. It works.
SilasLook, I get why you like her. I mean, I have a soft spot for brunettes, too. What I don't get is why she likes you.
That's because you haven't had sex with me.
Love bends the rules of possible. Silas and I were the two most powerful members of a gifted people called Travelers. When we were engaged to be married, we decided to reach even further.
Silas(flashback) I don't ever want to be parted from you, even by death.
We wanted to find a way for our love to last forever.
Yeah, look. I know the story. Everything was great for Silas until some witch named Qetsiyah or whatever came by and screwed him over, right?
Wrong. You don't know the story. Silas convinced Qetsiyah that he loved her so she would make the immortality spell, but when she found out that he was just using her, she dumped him in a tomb with a cure, hoping he would take it and die because she had created a supernatural limbo to trap his soul.
Like any other sane, rational, well-adjusted woman would do.
Which catches us up to today. Now Silas wants to destroy that supernatural limbo. Once the other side is gone, he can take the cure, become mortal, and die, and finally pass on and find peace.
Look. If you really are Silas' one true love and you're not dead, then why don't you just do us a favor and run off into the sunset together?
Silas was my true love. I never said I was his. I'm Qetsiyah, that sane, rational, well-adjusted woman you seem to know so much about. Clearly you've heard the man's version of the story, the one where I'm a back-stabbing lunatic who ruined everything for Silas, a raging bitch witch whose obsession with vengeance created a whole new dimension of suffering in the afterlife.
What are you doing here? I thought you were dead and on the other side?
I was for 2,000 years, but I came back... For you.
So you want to explain to me why I just killed my brother?
SilasWell, Tessa's spell mentally linked us. I lost my psychic abilities. Stefan lost his memories.
And this severed the link?
SilasYes, Damon. I can read your mind again. No. I'm not lying, and maybe you enjoyed breaking your brother's neck just a little bit too much.
Quiet, still, peaceful. I like our life when it's like this.
But this is our life, which probably means that somebody's gonna walk through that door and shatter it.
Oh, don't say that.
In 10...9...(kisses her head)
Just let me enjoy the moment.
6...5...(kisses her head again)
Damon, today is the day that we're gonna bring Bonnie back. It's a good day.
3...2...(kisses her again)
Damon, it's a good day.(kisses him)
SilasGreetings.
One.
SilasGood morning, frenemies.
SilasOh, you don't think that I keep my promises,
You said that now you're a witch again you would bring Bonnie back from the other side.
SilasI did, and I can.
And you promised Damon that you would to that if he helped you.
SilasYeah.
But you're kind of evil. No offense.
SilasNone taken.
So I'm just trying to figure out how I can trust one of your last acts in this world will be to bring my best friend back.
SilasDid you want me to pinky swear?
SilasKnock, knock. (No answer) Knock, knock. Who's there? The Mayor. The Mayor who?
Well, who?
SilasNo one. That's the joke. No ones there because I killed the Mayor.
You're a dick.
SilasI love love. I do. Yeah. I have a soul mate, too, you know, that love at first sight, want to live forever, love is eternal kind of love? Amara. That's her name. See, the problem is when I first meet Amara, I was with another woman, so I kind of cheated on her, which to be honest with you, it really wouldn't have been that big of a deal except it turned out that the other woman was a raging lunatic. So when she found out that I cheated on her, she freaked out, turned Amara into stone, like, literally, Medusa style.
Dude, are you, like, ok?
SilasWhat do you mean? You think I'm crazy? Why do you think I'm crazy? All I've wanted for the last 2,000 years is to reunited with the love of my life. How's that crazy?
Maybe the turned her into stone part.
Or the 2,000 years part.
SilasNo. Guys, we were both immortal, and now we're not. Hello? Look. The point is I finally had the chance to hold Amara in my arms, and what does she do? She jams a chunk of glass in my carotid artery. Look, look.
No, thanks.
SilasListen, you two. Here's my advice. Live it up. You know, enjoy this love while it lasts because let me tell you something. Just a couple of days ago, I was psychic, I was immortal, I was in love. Now my neck hurts, my soul is crushed, I'm sitting in a bus stop in frigging Delaware.
You're in Philly.
SilasIm in Philly? Ohh! God, it's even worse.
(Doubles over clutching his side) Ow!
What's going on, babe? Hey. What's going on? Hey. Talk to me. (He starts gagging up blood) Oh, my god. What's happening? What are you doing to him?
SilasI think I'm liquefying his internal organs. Did I fail to mention that I'm a witch?
Please stop. Please just stop.
SilasNo! I'm pissed off at the world, and I'm taking it out on your so-called lover. And I'm thinking you might be my next victim. (girl runs away) Look at that! Unbelievable. Love is so damn fickle. Incredible. Here you go, buddy. Come on up, come on up, come on up. Up you go. That's good, good. Buses, however... tried and true.
SilasAs vezat esvet.
As vezat esvat.
SilasEsvet, not vat. I feel like I'm teaching calculus to an infant.
I'm sorry. I'm a little nervous about unleashing a plague onto humanity.
SilasOoh! I've been upgraded to a plague? Oh. How biblical and fitting, seeing as I will probably will kill a lot of people in an epic, all-inclusive way once I'm out of here.
