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.
Ok. So. Who's got the knife? Which one of you is gonna get to kill the elusive Katherine Pierce once and for all? (no one says anything) What? Suddenly everyone's speechless? When I was on my deathbed you all had plenty to say. Is it you, Tyler? Because I triggered your werewolf curse? Have you an identity and made you better?
You've done nothing for me.
Oh, please, Tyler. If I hadn't walked into your life, you'd just be a wasted nobody with a boozy mom and a temper problem.
And you. I'm not worried about you offing me. Because we both know I made you better by making you a vampire.
Bye-bye, Caroline. Ooh. The one girl here who actually appreciates how beautiful you are. You wouldn't stab me in the heart, would you? Matty blue. No, I don't think so. You will definitely go down as the best night I never had. Oh, well.
Well, little Gilbert, it was nice to have a brother for a second there. When you weren't being so damn annoying. Bon Bon, no need for good-byes. I'll see you on the flip side. Damon. Oh, how you'd love nothing more than to drive that blade right through me.
We've already done this, Kitty Kat. I've said all I needed to say.
I know, but I never got to say what I needed to say to you. I'm sorry. You blame me for who you are. And I'm sorry. I'm sorry that I turned you. I'm sorry that you didn't get to die as a forgotten nobody on a bloody battlefield, and your father didn't get to live another day to be disgraced by you. Damon, I'm sorry that I have your life purpose. Passion. Drive. Desire. I'm sorry that you are who you are because I'm the one that taught you how to love.
I'll see you in hell, Katherine.
Stefan. You know, I always wondered what it would be like to be loved by you. You've got to admit, that one fleeting moment... Your feelings were real. This truly has been the role of a lifetime. Stefan, I love you. I've always loved you. (Katherine kisses Stefan, Stefan stabs her) Then I guess this is how our love story ends.
Is it wrong that I feel...
Sad. I know that Katherine is a horrible person, but--
But you see the good in people.
You mean Klaus. Because I saw the good in Klaus.
Your hybrid bite just killed someone and no one even batted an eye. I sleep with the wrong guy weeks ago and I don't hear the end of it. How is that fair?
I don't know, Care. Maybe people just expect more from you.
Why? Because being good comes so easy to me? Well, guess what, Tyler? It doesn't. I am a vampire. I have the same impulses as you. So, I'm allowed to make some mistakes along the way. Yes, I slept with Klaus-- but after you walked away from me. That was my choice and I am living with it and I don't need to be hearing about it every five seconds. So, just get over it or get out of my life, but... I'm done feeling guilty.
Am I seriously that easy to impersonate, or do you guys not know me at all?
When have I ever danced on a bar half-naked? Do you think that I would come to a college bar with my underage brother and do tequila shots?
Elena, what are you talking about?
I'm not Elena, Matt. I'm Katherine. It's not me! You guys know me - I wouldn't do that. Guys, Katherine has taken over my body. This isn't me!
Katherine didn't do this. I did. I thought you broke my heart, so I ripped open Aaron's neck - that is how much control you have over me.
And I'm still here. That's how much control you have over me.
Listen to us! This is toxic! We are in a toxic relationship, Elena. I just killed your friend and you find someone else to blame!
You want me to blame you? Easy. Done! You screwed up Damon. Again.
You put me in a position where I have to defend you, again. Where I have to bend my morals, again. Where I have to go against everything single thing that I believe in, again, 'cause I love you!
Well then stop loving me!
Oh. Um... did I wake you?
No. I've been up for three hours.
Really? Because you didn't say a word.
Well--ahem-- that's because I didn't really have much to say. Nothing's changed. We're still bad for each other, and we are still broken up. Last night was a mistake.
Maybe we should keep making mistakes. Big ones.
Atlanta Assassination Squad. How may we be of service?
SSloan
I take it you haven't located the doppelgänger yet.
You told us to find a nameless paramedic at the scene of a car accident in a city full of freeways, fried green tomatoes, and terrible drivers. It's not exactly as easy as it sounds.
SSloan
Which is why I am calling. The doppelgänger's name is Tom Avery, and I just saw him deliver a patient to Atlanta Metro Hospital.
(to Enzo) She saw him? She did the vision thing again? (takes the phone, now talking to Sloan) We had a deal. I find Stefan's last living doppelgänger--
Tom. I take care of Tom, and in return, you stop using Stefan to psychically doppelbomb him because every time you link the two, you are frying Stefan's brain.
Hey. I got your text. What's the friend emergency?
Damon and I broke up. It's final.
Oh, my god. When did it happen?
But you didn't come home last night.
Uh, that's because I slept with him.
Probably. Does Jeremy know that you and Damon definitely maybe broke up?
No. He wasn't at the house last night thankfully.
Well, that's weird. I mean, he didn't mention anything to me. If he wasn't at home, where was he?
I don't know. That doesn't really help me with the whole irresponsible thing, does it?
Ah. Modern women, all bosom, no mystery, present company excluded.
Dear god! Please don't tell me that I'm the real reason you're here.
Why not? From what Damon tells me, I am your type-- well-traveled, charming accent, dodgy morals.
Arrogant, tactless, completely unable to take a hint.
