Vervain. Making it hard to find something to eat in this town.

I remember them from 1864. They were in the tomb.
Yeah, about that...
Do you know what I was doing tonight, Mom? I was having fun, you know, trying to forget about all the crap that I have to deal with every day. Just enjoying a night with my friends. And then, there you are, wasted at the bar - where I work, by the way, to pay the bills that you don't pay. And then you're off acting like a freakin' kid, hooking up with some guy half your age. I'm the kid, Mom. You're supposed to be responsible for me.
How was your night?
Ah... Same old, same old. You?
Yep.
How did you know?
I knew this girl. Vicki. She was attacked by an animal; a bite to the neck. She started acting crazy, weird, and it seemed like drugs, but then you showed me those articles. And then I saw your face and how it changed the night in the cemetery when I kissed you.
You know you can't tell anyone, right?
Who would believe me?
You'd be surprised.
Why didn't you kill me?
I don't know. Maybe I'm a sucker for guys like you.
Like what?
Lost. Why would you confront me about it? Why would you risk it?
Because if it was true, maybe it's true about Vicki. And also because I want you to turn me.
I love storms.
Is that a vampire thing? 'Cause I read vampires don't like running water.
That's only Dracula. He was a complete wuss. Never showered...very smelly.
Seriously?
First rule about vampires: don't believe anything you read.
I'm not gonna turn someone who learned everything he knows about vampires from Netflix.
Pearl (to Frederick): We cannot live our lives about revenge.
We should kill every last one of them.
We are smarter than that, Frederick. These people are not our enemies. We don't hold grudges and resentments. We'll get our town back. We just have to have patience.
You heard her - no revenge. Patience; self-control. She seems to have it all figured out, doesn't she?
I say we go to Pearl's and bust down the door and annihilate the idiot that attacked us last night.
And then what? We turn to the rest of the house of vampires and say, 'Oops, sorry.'?
I can't believe you made a deal with her!
It was more like a helpful exchange of information. It's not like I had a choice. She's... scary. Besides, she's gonna help me get Katherine back.
Of course she is. Damon gets what he wants, as usual, no matter who he hurts in the process.
Well, you don't have to be snarky about it.
I woke up this morning to learn that all the vampires have been released from the tomb. I've earned snarky.
Ah... How long are you going to blame me for turning your birth mother in to a vampire?
I'm not blaming you, Damon. I've accepted the fact that you're a self-serving psychopath with no redeeming qualities.
Ouch.
This isn't being very productive. We're gonna figure out a way to deal with Pearl and the vampires, yeah?
I'm sorry. He just makes me so cranky.
I know...he makes everybody cranky.
So... What are we gonna do?
Damon and I are gonna handle everything. I promise.
Well...what about me? I can't just sit here and do nothing.
That's exactly what you're gonna do because that's what's gonna keep you safe.
Which means nothing if you're not safe too.
What do you mean? I'm perfectly safe. I have Damon, the self-serving psychopath on my side.
That's comforting.
Does your mom know you're a...?
The fact that you would even think it's possible to keep something like that a secret from your own family is just further proof that you're not ready.
'Not ready' is a step up from 'no'.
And a million steps down from 'maybe'.
I yelled at my mom last night. You know, I feel like the parent with the screwed up kid.
Well, maybe she needed to hear it.
Yeah, but I worry that if I push too hard then she'll take off again, 'cause that's her M.O. Just like Vicki, who I haven't heard from since she left.
Well, you can't control your mom, Matt, any more than you can control your sister.
I wish that she would just try, a little, you know. If she would just try to try, that would be okay.
Maybe she'll surprise you. People have a tendency to do that. I should go before the roads get even worse from the storm.
Are you sure that you should be driving right now?
I have to - it's my dad's boyfriend's daughter's birthday. We have a nontraditional traditional ritual.
Well, buckle up.
Hunting party?
That guy did a number on me last night when he stabbed me. I've got to get my strength back up.
I have two liters of soccer mom in the fridge. (Stefan doesn't respond) No?
We'll talk when I get back.
Alright... Give my regards to the squirrels.
You're ignoring me.
The six missed calls? Sorry. My phone's dead.
Is Stefan here?
No. Why? Is something wrong?
He went out in to the woods and didn't come back. I can't get him on his phone. I figured he was here with you.
(calls Stefan) It's going straight to voicemail. Where could he be?
You're not gonna like what I'm thinking.
Pearl, open this door or I swear I'll bust through and rip your head off.
Pearl's not home. Mmm... Beautiful weather. Not a ray of sun in the sky.
Where's my brother?
Billy? (Billy and another vampire drag Stefan into the room)
You are dead.
I'm sorry you haven't been invited in. Miss Gibbons?
GMiss Gibbons
Yes, Frederick, honey?
Never let this bad man in.
GMiss Gibbons
I'll never let him in.
One hundred forty-five years left starving in a tomb, thanks to Katherine's infatuation with you and your brother. First few weeks every single nerve in your body screams with fire... kind of pain that can drive a person mad. Well, I thought your brother might want to get a taste of that before I killed him. Billy! (Billy stakes Stefan in the abdomen; Stefan falls to his knees in pain)
Frederick (to Damon): You have a nice day.
