Stefan walked out of his room, leaving.

Mystic Falls High School - Outside

Everyone was preparing for the parade.

There were several girls dressed in their cheer leading outfits.

There were some boys dressed as Confederate soldiers for a float.

Carol walked toward the marching band. "No, no, no. This lineup is all wrong. The marching band should be in front of the Historical Society and the dancers." She approached Tyler, who was dressed for 1864. "Tyler, time to get on your float."

Carol didn't wait for an answer, walking away. Carol walked toward a group with volunteer shirts. "Boys, I asked you to put the chairs on the Founders' float." She walked toward the Miss Mystic Falls contestants. "Ladies, time to get on your float."

Stefan was standing alone.

Damon approached him. "Look at you, all retro."

"What are you doing here?" Stefan asked.

"Why wouldn't I be here?" Damon asked. "Bonnie deactivated the Gilbert invention, Isobel is gone, and it's Founders' Day. I'm here to eat cotton candy and steal Tyler Lockwood's friend, Emma Gilbert."

"Don't start with me, Damon." Stefan told him.

"Oh, you started this, Stefan, with that whole, 'I'm trying to protect Elena's sister, leave Emma alone speech." Damon told him. "I'm enjoying that."

"As long as you heard it." Stefan told him.

"What?" Damon asked innocently. "You have no sense of humor, Stefan."

"Actually, I've no sense of 'Damon humor'." Stefan told him.

"'Damon humor'?" Damon repeated. Stefan started to walk away. Damon stopped him. "Hey, look, I get it, I get it. I'm the better, hotter, superior choice, and you're scared, now that Katherine is out of the picture, that I'm gonna turn all my attention to Emma. But don't worry. Emma is not Katherine."

"You're right." Stefan agreed. "She's not, and neither is Elena."

Stefan and Damon looked off in the distance.

Emma and Elena approached with their 1864 costumes, looking exactly like Katherine. They stopped some distance away, smiling, bowing.

...

Gilbert House - Jeremy's Room

Jeremy was getting dressed in his Confederacy uniform for the parade.

Evelyn appeared.

"Evelyn." Jeremy told her.

"Look at you." Evelyn told him.

"I know." Jeremy told her. "It's stupid, huh? I'm part of the parade."

Evelyn fixed his uniform. "I've talked to Anna. She's not taking mom's death well, either. She was the only thing that Anna had for 145 years." She looked toward the hallway.

"How are you? I've been so worried, and I feel awful." Jeremy asked.

"Why?" Evelyn asked. "You didn't kill my mother, your uncle did."

"Are you sure it was him?" Jeremy asked.

"Who else would have done it?" Evelyn asked.

"He doesn't understand, Eve." Jeremy told her. "It's who he is. He hates all vampires. He's just doing what he thinks is right."

"Are you defending him?" Evelyn asked incredulously.

"No, no way." Jeremy answered. "It's just... I do understand where he's coming from. He's convinced all the tomb vampires want revenge on this town, and he's just... He's trying to protect it."

"They do want revenge." Evelyn told him. "Or, at least, they did. But that's why we separated from them. My mom wasn't after revenge. She just wanted her life back. I have to get out of this town, Jeremy."

"You're leaving?" Jeremy asked.

"I've been thinking... you could come with me." Evelyn told him. "I could turn you. I mean, you said you Anna to before. Here." She handed him a small vial of blood. "It's my blood. If you die with it in your system, you'll come back."

"Evelyn..." Jeremy trailed off.

"I know you, what it's like for you." Evelyn told him. "Being alone, always feeling empty inside. No one to understand. But when you're a vampire, you don't have to feel that way. You can shut if off. I can show you how."

"I wanted to." Jeremy told her. "I did." He turned away from Evelyn. Evelyn looked sad. "But I don't think I can. Sorry."

Jeremy looked at the vial, looking up.

Evelyn had disappeared.

...

Salvatore Boarding House - Living Room

Elizabeth looked bored, tossing a book she had been reading to the side, standing up from the couch she had been lying on, walking toward the drink table, pouring herself a drink, leaning forward against the table with one arm, picking up the glass with the other, about to take a drink, but stopped, thinking. She put the glass down without taking a drink, exhaling, looking down at the table, too bored to actually do anything, seemingly restless.

Isabella was standing in the doorway, smirking. "You look like a caged animal, Lizzie."

"Yeah, well, that's the way I feel." Elizabeth told her, turning to face Isabella. "Why is that, Isabella?"

"Probably because you took too much shelter in this house after you came back." Isabella answered, stepping down the steps, walking closer. "You barely leave, if you'd been kidnapped, or to save Damon from a tomb of angry tomb vampires. You just need to get out of the cage and go somewhere to become un-restless, Elizabeth."

"Get out of the cage and go where?" Elizabeth asked.

Isabella smiled. "Where do you think?"

"The Founders' Day Parade?" Elizabeth asked skeptically. "Seriously?"

"Do you have any other bright ideas?" Isabella replied.

Elizabeth looked at her for a moment. "Isabella, are you just saying this because you want to get out of the house but you're worried that there are still some tomb vampires hanging out around town, and you're afraid of leaving me alone in the house and come back to find me bloody?"

Isabella hesitated, nodding. "Yeah, that's pretty much it. So..." She smiled as if she already knew the answer. "What do you say?"

Elizabeth smirked, rolling her eyes. "I can't believe I'm saying this, but okay."

Isabella smiled.

...

Mystic Falls High School - Outside

Stefan, Emma and Elena were talking.

"John?" Emma asked incredulously. "Is that even possible?"

"There is no proof, but he dated Isobel when she was a teenager, and he was the one who brought her to your dad's office for the delivery." Stefan told them.

"Our whole lives, we've never liked this man." Elena told him. "I..."

"Sorry." Stefan told them. "I'm sorry. I just... I wanted to tell you before Damon dropped it on you on some typically inappropriate way."

"No, I'm happy that you told us." Elena told him. "I just... I really hope that it's not true. What are we supposed to do? Do we just... confront him and say, 'Are you our biological father'?"

"I guess, when you're ready." Stefan answered.

"We're never gonna be ready." Emma told him. "Stefan, we have enough problems with the family that we care about. Jeremy's angry with us, and why wouldn't he? Elena's journal gave him every single reason to."

"He's just hurt." Stefan told them. "They're confused."

"Jeremy's never going to forgive us for Vicki, for taking away his memories, for lying to him." Emma told them.

"He's your brother." Stefan told them. "He'll forgive you. Just give him some time."

(Song:) You've Changed - Sia

Caroline and Matt were posing for a picture in their 1864 costumes.

Bonnie was taking the picture. "Say cheese!"

Liam was standing next to Bonnie. She pointed at Matt. "Oh, wait! Hide your cast. It's not era-appropriate."

Caroline smiled.

Matt tilted his head at Liam. "Seriously?"

"Yes." Liam answered.

"Okay, fine, Liam." Matt told him, hiding the cast.

Liam smiled.

Bonnie took the picture.

Tyler walked closer.

Caroline saw their approach. "I want one with Bonnie now."

Liam looked at Caroline, smiling.

"Here, I can take it." Tyler told them, taking the camera.

Matt looked at Tyler. "I'll be on the float."

Matt walked away, leaving.

Liam pressed his lips together, looking down.

Tyler looked at Liam. "I said I was sorry. Liam, what else do I gotta do?"

Liam turned to face Tyler. "You made out with his mother and then you beat him to a pulp. You're gonna have to do a little better than 'sorry'."

Liam walked away, leaving.

...

Elsewhere

Jeremy was walking across campus, dressed for the parade.

Emma followed her. "Jeremy! I was wondering where you were. You look great, and you guys did a really great job on the float."

"Go away, Emma." Jeremy told her.

"Jer, come on." Emma told him. "Please. I don't want it to be like this between us."

"Why don't you have Damon erase my memory again?" Jeremy asked. "Then I could go back to being your in-the-dark little brother."

"Don't say that'" Emma told him. "I'm sorry." Jeremy sighed, shaking his head, turning to leave. Emma grabbed his arm to stop her. "Jeremy, please."

Jeremy turned back to Emma, pulling her arm away forcefully. "Just don't. You can't fix this that easily. Something like this doesn't just get fixed."

Jeremy turned around, walking away, leaving.

Emma watched him go, sighing.

Founders' Day Parade

Two cheerleaders led the parade with a banner.

The Marching Band followed behind him.

Carol commentated. "Let's give a big hand for the Mystic Falls High School Marching Band." The girls in the same uniforms as the marching band, in the front, dancing, kicking up one leg, spinning around, crossing their arms and uncrossing them before they finished the spin, facing forward, following the band down the way. Carol continued commentating from the stage with cue cards in hand. "And for a little local history, Mr. Saltzman's students have recreated Virginia's Battle of Willow Creek." Jeremy was on that float. The boys were pretending to be Confederate soldiers. One pretended to shoot Jeremy. Jeremy pretended to die. "Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome our stunning Mystic Falls Court and their handsome escorts." Elena, Stefan, Emma, Tyler, Caroline and Matt were on that float in 1864 finery costumes. "This is Caroline Forbes, Miss Mystic Falls. Aren't they beautiful?"

Emma saw Bonnie standing in the crowd, waving.

Damon stepped in the way, waving to Emma.

Emma rolled her eyes, looking away.

Elizabeth saw Bonnie, walking toward her. "Hey, Bonnie."

Bonnie turned to face her. "Elizabeth?"

Elizabeth sighed, hesitating. "Hear me out. Please." Bonnie nodded for her to go on. "Look, I'm sorry. I know that you wanted to save Stefan and Isabella for Elena and Emma, and because of that, your Grams died, and the rest of the tomb vampires got free, and I know that a part of you holds me responsible for that, and I am so sorry. But, if it makes you feel better, I totally got punished from the tomb by the tomb vampires."

"I know it's not fair to blame you." Bonnie told her. "And for that, I'm sorry, Elizabeth."

Elizabeth hesitated. "Thank you. The device that Emily spelled could have killed Stefan, Isabella, Damon and I. I don't take what you did lightly, so... thank you."

"I did it for Emma and Elena." Bonnie told her.

"I know that, but I'm still very grateful." Elizabeth told her. "And... I owe you. Enjoy the parade."

Elizabeth walked away, leaving.

Bonnie seemed surprised.

The last float to go was the football players. Four cheerleaders were surrounding them.

Carol commentated. "Let's cheer for the Mystic Falls High School football team."

...

Grayson Gilbert's Office

John was with Richard, preparing the device. "This is the key. Once inserted, the device will be activated. It will work only once, for an estimated time of five minutes."

"Yes." Richard told him. "How does it work?"

"It's a high-pitched frequency that humans can't hear." John explained. "Any vampires within a five-block radius will be incapacitated, exposing them. At that time, the Sheriff's Deputies will inject them with vervain, and bring them here, when we will finish them off."

"And you're certain they're attacking tonight?" Richard asked.

"I have a source." John told him. "One of the vampires from the tomb confirmed the attack."

...

Abandoned Building

The tomb vampires were having a meeting.

The leader was speaking, pointing at a map of the Town Square. "Everybody, listen up. The plan stays the same. We wait until the firework start; until then, we blend in. Stay a part of the celebration; they'll never see us coming."

...

Grayson Gilbert's Office

John looked at Richard. "They want revenge for what our ancestors did in 1864. It makes us their target."

...

Abandoned Building

The leader was showing the other vampires a plan of the Mystic Fall's Town Square. "This area here is the stage. This is where the Founding Families are gonna be. If you see Elizabeth Pierce, kill her. Elizabeth is the best way to get to Stefan, Damon and Isabella Salvatore, all of them are the ones who got us locked in the tomb to begin with. Any questions?"

...

Grayson Gilbert's Office

Richard looked at John. "We're taking an enormous risk. We're talking about our families, John."

...

Evelyn walked in.

"Evelyn?" The leader asked. "What are you doing here?"

Evelyn didn't answer.

John looked at Richard. "This is the only way to draw them out and kill them. All of them."

The Grill

(Song:) It Is What It Is - Lifehouse

Damon was standing alone.

Emma arrived, no longer in her costume, but her hair still wavy.

Damon walked toward her. "I like you better like this. The period look, it... didn't suit you."

Emma looked confused. "Is that an insult?"

"Actually, Emma, it is a compliment of the highest order." Damon told her.

"Look, I know Stefan and Elena are worried about our... friendship." Emma told him.

"Did they say something to you, too?" Damon asked.

"No." Emma answered. "Did they mention something to you?"

"Well, Stefan did, but it's nothing worth repeating." Damon told her.

"But, I'm also your friend." Emma told him. "So, I think you should stop with the flirty little comments and that eye-thing that you do."

Damon smiled. "What eye thing?"

"Don't make me regret being your friend, okay?" Emma asked. Damon seemed a little hurt. Emma looked at Jeremy, noticing that he was sitting alone at a table, in normal clothes. She walked toward her. Damon looked toward them. Jeremy was barely eating. Emma stood next to him. "I don't believe that we can't fix this. Elena and I lied. We were wrong. But you're our brother, Jer. And we love you, and we have to fix it. So just tell me, what can we do?"

Jeremy looked at Emma for a moment. "You can all go to Hell, Emma."

Jeremy stood, walking past her without another look or word.

Emma looked hurt.

Jeremy walked past Damon on her way out of the door.

...

Town Square

Jeremy walked through the crowd.

Damon followed Jeremy, taunting him. "'I have so many emotions, but I don't have any way to express them. Being a teenager is so hard.'"

"Dick." Jeremy told him.

"You do not talk to me like that." Damon told her. "I'm not you sisters. And from now on..." He grabbed her by his jacket to make him stop. "Don't talk to them that way, either."

"So, what?" Jeremy asked. "You're gonna kill me just because I hurt Emma's feelings?"

"Cut your siblings some slack." Damon told him.

Jeremy looked at Damon weirdly. "Emma and Elena erased my memories."

"I was the one who erased your memories." Damon told him. "They were protecting you, Jeremy."

"Didn't turn out so well, did it?" Jeremy asked turning away. Damon grabbed his arm to stop him. Jeremy looked around the crowd. "Let go of me before I cause a scene."

"You'd be unconscious before you even got a word out." Damon told him.

Stefan appeared next to them. "Let him go." Damon let go of Jeremy. Stefan stepped between them, looking at Jeremy. "You all right?"

Jeremy nodded. "Yeah."

Stefan looked at Damon. "What my brother is trying to say is..." He looked at Jeremy. "Don't blame Emma and Elena for this. Damon turned Vicki. I killed her. She was a threat to you, she was a threat to you and she was a threat to your sisters. I'm sorry that it happened, Jeremy. I wish it hadn't."

Jeremy started to back away. "You shouldn't have made me forget."

Jeremy walked away, leaving.

Damon looked at Stefan. "Good cop, bad cop. I like it."

Stefan turned to face him. "What are you doing?"

"Jeremy's being a punk." Damon told him.

"Emma and Elena's relationship with Jeremy is none of your business, so stay out of it." Stefan told him.

"Oh, there's only one 'do-gooder' role available." Damon told him. "My bad. I'm sorry."

Damon chuckled.

"Get over yourself." Stefan told him. "We both know you're not doing this for the right reasons."

"You see, there you go with that little protective act thing again." Damon told him. "What are the right reasons, Stefan? Enlighten me, please."

"Well, see, Damon, it's only real when it comes from your desire to do the right thing for nothing in return, and I know that it is an entirely foreign concept to you." Stefan told him. "I completely understand that you wouldn't get it."

Stefan walked away, leaving.

...

Sheriff's Office

Liz was talking with John and Richard. "You want to use our town as bait? It's too dangerous. It's insane."

Liz closed the door.

"We've gone over the plans with all your Deputies." Richard told her. "They're all on board."

"You've gone behind my back?" Liz asked.

"Yeah, because we knew this is exactly how you'd react." Richard answered.

"Our children are here." Liz told them.

"Liz, we need to do this." John told her. "We have no choice. This is the reason for the secret Council. Our Founding Fathers created the secret Council for just this purpose."

There was a long moment of silence.

"I'm the Sheriff." Liz told them. "It's my call, and I say no."

"Richard, let me speak to the Sheriff alone." John told him.

Richard looked at them for a moment, walking out of the room, leaving, closing the door behind him.

"John, you're not thinking clearly." Liz told him. "I'm not gonna change my mind about this."

Liz turned around, walking toward the desk.

John hit Liz's head, making her fall unconscious. He removed her gun, handcuffing her to the radiator, taking her keys, standing, walking out of the room, leaving.

Night - Town Square

Isabella was pacing around the square alone, turning around to see Evelyn. "Hey, Evelyn. Didn't know you were still around."

Evelyn took her arm, leading Isabella to the side to where no one could hear. "There's something you need to know, Isabella. The vampires from the tomb are planning to attack tonight."

"How do you know this?" Isabella asked.

"I went to them." Evelyn answered. "They think I'm with them, but I'm not. They want the Founding Families dead. They want Elizabeth dead to get to you and your brothers."

"Lizzie's here." Inuyasha told him, looking around. "Somewhere around here. I don't know where. When is all this supposed to happen, Eve?"

"When the fireworks start." Evelyn answered.

Isabella sighed. "John Gilbert wants to use the invention on them."

"Then we can't be here." Evelyn told her.

"It doesn't work, Evelyn." Isabella told him. "It's been deactivated."

"Well, then a lot of people are gonna die." Evelyn told her.

"Where are they right now?" Isabella asked.

Evelyn looked around. "They're already here, Isabella."

Isabella looked at her nervously.

The tomb vampires were meeting in front of a building.

The leader paced in front of them. "Remember, we don't know which of them ingests vervain. It's not about the feed, it's about the kill. You know what to do."

The vampires dispersed, making their way into the crowd.

...

Elsewhere

Alaric was walking alone.

Isabella approached him. "Ric!"

"Isabella?" Alaric asked.

"You keep those nifty little vervain darts in the car?" Isabella asked.

"Yeah." Alaric answered. "Why do you ask?"

"Because this square is crawling with tomb vampires." Isabella answered. "I think we might need a stake or two."

"Yeah, I got it." Alaric answered, walking away, leaving.

Isabella saw Elizabeth in the crowd, walking toward her quickly. "Lizzie! Thank God."

"What's happening?" Elizabeth asked. "Isabella?"

"I'll explain here in a second." Isabella told her, seeing Damon in one direction and seeing Stefan and Elena further away, taking Elizabeth's hand, leading her toward Damon, grabbing Damon by his collar, pulling them both toward Stefan and Elena.

"Isabella, what the hell are you doing?" Damon asked.

Isabella pulled them to a stop next to Stefan and Elena, letting Damon and Elizabeth go, looking at Elena. "Saving her life." She looked over all of them. "Twenty words or less... Tomb vamps are here. Founding Families are their target. And especially Elizabeth."

"That's only 12." Damon told her. "I can say the last eight." He looked at Stefan. "Get Lizzie and Elena out of here, now."

Damon and Isabella started to walk away.

"Wait, what are you doing?" Elizabeth asked.

"Finding Emma." Damon answered.

"That's more than twenty words, guys." Isabella told them.

"Isabella , what are you doing?" Elizabeth asked.

"Trying to stop this before it goes down." Isabella answered. "Stefan, get Elizabeth and Elena out of here."

Damon and Isabella walked away, leaving.

"Wait, Jeremy is out here somewhere." Elena told them.

"Let's go find them." Stefan told them. "Come on."

Stefan, Elizabeth and Elena walked forward.

Tyler pulled his arm away.

"Get off me." Tyler told him.

Liam approached them. "Mayor. Is everything okay?"

Matt and Caroline stood, walking closer to them.

Richard looked at his children. "Please, Tyler... I need you to go home. Now. Take your friends with you."

They looked at him in confusion.

"Wait." Tyler told him. "Why?"

"What's wrong?" Matt asked.

Richard looked at all of them. "I can't explain. All of you need to get home, now."

Tyler nodded. "Yeah."

"Okay." Liam told him.

Richard gave Tyler his car keys. "Here. Take my car. It's out back." Tyler looked confused, walking away. "Caroline, Matt, Liam, go with them."

Caroline, Matt and Liam exchanged a confused look, following Tyler.

Damon and Emma were talking at the side of the Grill.

"What the hell is going on here?" Emma asked.

"Tomb vampires." Damon answered. "They're here, now, and they want Founding Families dead. That means Elizabeth, Jeremy, Elena, you. You need to leave."

Emma shook her head worriedly. "No. Caroline, Liam, and Tyler are Founding Families, too. We can't just leave them here."

"Right now, Mayor Lockwood is telling Matt, Tyler, Liam and Caroline to leave." Damon told her. Emma looked toward the door to see Tyler, Caroline, Matt and Liam walking out of the door, sighing in relief. "You need to do the same."

Emma looked at Damon, nodding. "Where are Elizabeth, Jeremy and Elena?"

"Stefan, Elizabeth and Elena are looking for Jeremy." Damon answered. "Let's go."

Emma nodded.

Damon led her toward the door.

Richard was unconscious, blood dripping out of his ear.

"Richard!" Carol told him worriedly.

Emma walked closer in confusion. "Is he all right?"

No one had an answer.

Emma realized that Richard had been effected by the device, but was confused by why.

...

The Grill - Bathroom

Anna was still in Jeremy's arms, holding her head, screaming in pain. "My head!"

"Damn it," Jeremy told her.

A Deputy walked in, speaking into a radio. "I got one."

Another Deputy came in.

One injected Anna with vervain.

The other held Jeremy back.

"Hey, what are you doing?" Jeremy asked incredulously. "What are you doing? Hey, leave her alone!" One Deputy took Anna away. The other continued to hold Jeremy back. "Leave her alone! Anna!"

Grayson Gilbert's Office

The device slowed to a stop.

John put everything away.

...

Basement

Evelyn, Elizabeth, Damon and Isabella and several tomb vampires were lying over the floor, unconscious.

John walked toward a Deputy. "The device is done. The only thing keeping them down is the vervain. We don't have much time. Let's finish this."

A Deputy poured gasoline over every inch of the floor, over the vampires.

Evelyn looked around weakly, seeing Elizabeth, Isabella and Damon, unconscious, looking toward Anna, shaking his head weakly. "No."

John started to walk upstairs.

Anna gripped his ankle, making him stop.

John looked down at her. "Anna." He looked at the Deputy. "You can head up. I'll take it from here."

The Deputy walked up the stairs, leaving.

John pulled out a stake.

Evelyn tried to move, unable to because of the move. He couldn't save his sister.

Anna shook her head. "Please. No." She knew that her sister couldn't save her now, but called out to her anyway. "Evelyn..."

Evelyn had tears in his eyes as he was forced to watch John kill his only family left. "No."

John drove the stake through Anna's heart, killing her.

Anna gasped in pain, slowly lowering her head to the floor, looking toward Evelyn as she desiccated. "Eve..."

Evelyn could barely manage the strength to reach toward her, holding her hand. "Anna..."

Anna exhaled, the light leaving her eyes, closing them one last time.

John continued to pour gasoline all over the stairs so there would be no escape, walking out of the basement, leaving.

Damon, Elizabeth and Isabella started to stir, looking around.

Damon saw them. "Elizabeth, Isabella."

"Damon..." Elizabeth trailed off, trying to crawl toward him.

John lit a match, dropping it onto the gasoline-soaked stairs.

The stairs immediately ignited, trailing down the steps to the basement below, spreading around the vampires quickly.

Evelyn let go of Anna's hand, sliding away weakly, watching Anna's body burn painfully.

Damon, Elizabeth and Isabella watched weakly.

Evelyn laid his head on the floor weakly, looking at Anna's body burning with fire in numb pain.

...

The Grill - Outside - Alleyway Stairs

Stefan and Elena were there.

"Are you okay?" Elena asked.

"It was like needles were piercing my skull, and then it just stopped." Stefan told them.

Emma and Alaric ran toward them.

"What did you see?" Elena asked.

Emma sighed. "I saw at least five vampires go down." She looked to Elena. "They were taking them to our family's building. It's the Gilbert device."

"How?" Elena asked. "It doesn't work."

"It has to be." Emma told them.

"But how did he get it to be able to work?" Elena asked. "Bonnie unspelled it."

"Maybe she didn't." Alaric told them.

"She did." Elena told them. "We saw it."

"No." Stefan told them. "They're right. Think about it. We asked Bonnie to deactivate to a device that could protect people against vampires."

"So we could protect you." Elena told him.

"And Elizabeth, Isabella and Damon." Stefan told them. "Vampires. Where're Damon, Isabella and Elizabeth?"

"They took Damon." Emma told them. "But I haven't seen Isabella or Elizabeth since this started."

Elena looked at Alaric. "Can you find Jeremy and take them home?"

"Of course." Alaric answered, standing, walking away, leaving.

Emma looked at Stefan and Elena. "Let's go."

They stood, walking away.

...

Sheriff's Office

Liz was still handcuffed to the radiator.

Carol walked in. "Liz, are you okay?"

"There's a key on my..." Liz trailed off.

"What's going on?" Carol asked incredulously.

"There's a key on my belt." Liz told her. "I need you to get it."

Carol grabbed the keys. "I've been looking everywhere for you." She started to unlock the cuffs. "Something happened to Richard. They took him."

"Who took him?" Liz asked.

"Your Deputies." Carol answered. "I don't understand. He's not a vampire."

Liz stood. "Let's go."

They walked out of the office.

...

Grayson Gilbert's Office - Basement

Damon crawled toward his sister and Elizabeth weakly. "Isabella, Elizabeth . We're gonna be okay."

"Don't lie to protect us now." Isabella told him. She looked at Evelyn sympathetically as she continued to watch Anna's body burn. "I am so sorry, Eve."

Evelyn nodded barely.

Richard was in the basement with them, completely fine.

"Mayor." Damon told him. "Is that you?"

Richard looked at Isabella, Damon, Elizabeth and Evelyn . "What are you doing here?"

"We're vampires." Isabella answered simply. Richard looked at them in shock. "What's your excuse?" Richard didn't answer. "No, really."

"The vervain didn't effect you." Evelyn told him.

"You're not a vampire." Damon agreed.

Isabella, Elizabeth, Damon and Evelyn spoke together. "What the hell are you?"

Richard slid away.

The leader was behind him. "Mayor Lockwood."

The leader snapped Richard's neck, letting his body fall.

Elizabeth, Isabella, Damon and Evelyn watched weakly.

...

Scene Of The Accident

Matt, Caroline and Liam stood next to each other.

"Liam, Caroline, are you okay?" Matt asked. "Your side took the biggest hit."

"I'm fine, I'm fine." Caroline told them.

Liam nodded. "I'm okay."

"No, they need to check you out." Matt told them.

Liam shook his head, looking at the pavement ahead of them. "They're helping Tyler."

Tyler was lying on the pavement, unconscious.

Two EMTs were helping them.

He opened one of his eyes.

Tyler's eyes were amber-gold before they faded back to his normal brown.

"What the hell?" One of the paramedics asked.

Matt immediately knelt next to them worriedly. "What's wrong?"

"Their eyes." The EMT answered.

Tyler gasped awake, looking around in absolute confusion. "What happened?"

"Dude, don't scare me like that." Matt told him.

Liam sighed in relief, smiling.

Matt looked up. "Hey, Liam." He looked behind him worriedly. "Liam, behind you."

Liam turned away. "Hey, Care-" Caroline was lying on the ground, unconscious. Liam knelt next to her instantly worriedly. "Care? Care, wake up. You have to wake up! Caroline! Guys, over here!" Matt and the other paramedics knelt next to them. "Care, wake up."

...

Grayson Gilbert's Office - Outside

Stefan, Elena, Nicola and Alex walked toward the building.

Stefan stopped, hearing the fire. "Wait, wait, wait, wait." The girls turned to face him. "I can hear them. The building's on fire."

Stefan walked toward the building.

"What?" Elena asked.

"The building's on fire," Stefan repeated.

They hurried toward the building.

Inside - Basement

Evelyn tried to stand.

A burning beam fell in front of her.

...

Outside

John was standing in front of the building, watching it, waiting for the flames.

Stefan, Elena and Emma approached him.

"Where are Elizabeth, Isabella and Damon?" Emma asked.

John turned to face them. "With the rest of them. Where they should be." He looked at Stefan. "It's over for Damon, Elizabeth and Isabella."

"You're crazy." Emma told him.

"Why?" John asked. "Because I'm doing something that should've been done 145 years ago?" Stefan looked at the building. "This is the right thing, Emma." Stefan edged closer to the building. John noticed. "Go ahead. You won't make it out. You'll save me from the trouble of killing you myself."

Stefan tapped on Elena's shoulder. "You know the building well. Is there another entrance?"

"Utility door, there's one around the side." Elena answered.

Stefan ran away.

Elena and Emma started to follow.

John grabbed either of their arms to stop them.

"Let go." Emma told him.

"Take one more step, and I'll alert those Deputies that they missed a vampire." John told them, letting them go.

Emma angrily hit John in the face making him back away nose bleeding.

"Emma and I are asking you not to," Elena told him ignoring what just happened.

John shook his head. "That doesn't mean anything to me."

"As our father, it should." Elena told him.

John looked at them in surprise. "You know."

"We weren't sure." Emma told him. "Now we are."

Elena and Emma ran away.

...

Behind The Building

Stefan and ran toward the utility door.

Stefan started to go inside.

Bonnie ran toward Stefan, grabbing his arm to stop her. "Stefan, you can't go in there! The fire will take you out. They ruined your life, Stefan. Why are you trying to save them?"

"Because they're my family, Bonnie." Stefan answered.

Bonnie shook her head. "I can't let you go in."

Stefan went in.

...

Inside

Stefan tried to open the basement's door. The doorknob was too hot.

...

Outside

Bonnie was still outside.

Elena and Emma ran toward her.

Emma looked at Bonnie. "Bonnie, what are you doing?"

"I'm sorry I lied to you." Bonnie told them.

Bonnie grabbed Emma's tightening her grip, closing her eyes, still holding Emma's arm.

"What the hell are you doing?" Emma asked.

"Bonnie?" Elena asked.

"Bonnie, I've got to get in there." Emma told her.

Bonnie ignored her, holding her arm tighter, starting to chant. "Exspiritum intacullum, interrum incendium, fes matos salvis adisdum."

Emma looked at Bonnie in realization. "She's helping them. By using me as a connection."

"Because you're family." Elena realized. "We're related to them. We have the same bloodline, Emma."

"Yeah." Emma agreed. "Now shut up so she can concentrate."

...

Inside

Stefan could finally open the door.

The fire was too large.

Bonnie: (voice over) "Exspiritum intacullum, interrum incendium, fes matos salvis adisdum."

The flames diminished, thanks to Bonnie's spell.

Stefan ran into the basement.

Outside

Bonnie didn't open her eyes, still holding Emma's arm. "Elena. Stefan can't get all of them. Go."

"What?" Emma asked. "Elena, go."

Elena nodded, running inside.

Bonnie started to chant again. "Exspiritum intacullum, interrum incendium, fes matos salvis adisdum."

...

Basement

Stefan ran downstairs to find Damon and Isabella. "Damon! Isabella! Come on, hurry!"

Stefan helped Damon and Isabella stand.

Isabella shook her head. "I'm not leaving without Evelyn or Elizabeth."

Elena ran downstairs.

"What are you doing, Elena?" Stefan asked. "You shouldn't be here."

Elena saw Elizabeth and Evelyn, running toward the,, wrapping one of their arms around her shoulders.

"He's right, Elena." Elizabeth told her.

"Do I care?" Elena asked. "No. And he has Isabella and Damon, he can't get you or Evelyn, Elizabeth, so no more fighting."

Stefan had one of Damon's arms, and one of Isabella's , wrapping them around his shoulders.

Isabella used her other arm to grab the back of Elena's shirt.

Stefan rushed them out of the basement and out of the building and outside.

The vampires that were still alive tried to climb toward the stairs.

The flames grew in size again, leaving no escape.

...

Outside

Bonnie let Emma's arm go, no longer chanting.

"Bonnie..." Emma trailed off. "Bonnie, what is it? Are they gonna be okay?"

Damon, Stefan, Isabella, Elena, Elizabeth and Evelyn walked out of the door.

"Oh, my God." Emma told them.

Emma caught Damon from falling to the ground.

Stefan caught Isabella.

Elizabeth held Evelyn standing.

Elena wrapped her arms around Stefan.

Damon, Elizabeth Isabella and Evelyn coughed repeatedly as they let them go.

Emma wrapped her arms around Elena.

Bonnie watched tiredly.

...

Town Square

The fire department was here, after having put the fire out, saving the building.

...

The Grill

Elena was standing alone.

Stefan walked toward her.

"The fire is out." Elena told him. "The story is the building's old wiring is what caused it."

"Did you see where Damon went?" Stefan asked.

"No." Elena answered. "He just kind of disappeared. So did Emma."

"Figures." Stefan told her.

Elena wrapped her arms around him. "I'm so glad you're okay."

"I try so hard... to hate him." Stefan told her. "I guess it's just pointless."

"He's your brother, Stefan." Elena told him. "You don't have to hate him. You care about him, and that's okay." They kissed. "I love you, Stefan."

"I love you, too, Elena." Stefan told her.

Elena kissed him for a moment, pulling away. "Jenna called. Jeremy's home. I'm just gonna run over to the school to pick up my dress, my clothes, and the rest of my stuff, and then I'll check on him. I need to check Emma, too."

Stefan nodded.

...

Gilbert House - Jeremy's Room

Jeremy was on his bed, looking at the vial of Evelyn's blood, standing, putting it in his drawer. He turned his head to see Damon standing in the doorway. "What are you doing here?"

"Anna's dead." Damon told him.

"I figured that once they took her away." Jeremy told him.

"I know you cared about her." Damon told him.

"Yeah, I did." Jeremy agreed.

"I saw her killed." Damon told him. "Evelyn was trying to save her, but she couldn't move. I was watching, and all I could think about was... I wanted to help Anna, and I wanted to help Evelyn, but I couldn't."

Jeremy sat down. "Why are you telling me all this?"

"I took away your suffering once before." Damon told him. "I can do it again, but it's your choice."

"Look, I know you think you took it away, but it's still there." Jeremy told him. "Even if I can't remember why, I still feel empty, and alone, and making me forget won't fix it. It won't fix what's really wrong."

"What I did to Vicki was wrong." Damon told him. "I'm sorry for my part."

Damon walked toward the door.

"Anna said that vampires don't have to feel pain." Jeremy told him. Damon stopped, turning to face him. "That they could turn it off, if they shut out their humanity."

"It's very true." Damon told him.

"Is it easier that way?" Jeremy asked.

"Is what easier?" Damon asked.

"Life." Jeremy answered.

"Life sucks either way, Jeremy." Damon told him. "But, at least if you're a vampire, you don't have to feel bad about it if you don't want to."

"Is that what you did?" Jeremy asked.

"I did it for a... I did it for a very long time and life was a lot easier." Damon told him.

Damon looked at Jeremy for a moment, walking away, leaving.

Evelyn appeared behind Jeremy surprising him.

Jeremy opened his arms allowing Evelyn to hug him and cry out all her tears.

...

Mystic Falls Hospital - Waiting Room

Matt was sitting alone in the waiting room.

Tyler walked toward him.

"Hey, man." Tyler told him. "I'm so sorry."

"It's okay." Matt told them. "Caroline will be all right." Tyler sat down next to hi,. Liz and Liam walked toward them. Matt stood. "What's happening? Is she all right?"

"There was some internal bleeding." Liz told them. Liam sat down next to Matt, holdinghis head, sniffling. "They're taking her into surgery."

"What else did they say?" Matt asked. "Liam, is she gonna be okay?"

Liam looked up, a tear slipping down his cheek. "They're gonna do everything they can."

Matt didn't respond, looking numb as he sat down.

Liam started to cry silently.

"Tyler, have you talked to your mom?" Liz asked.

"I left her a message telling her I was here," Tyler told her.

"You need to call her." Liz told him.

Tyler looked confused. "What is it?"

Liz hesitated. "It's your dad."

Tyler look, seemed to know what that meant, in denial that his dad was either hurt or dead.

...

Gilbert House - Bathroom

Jeremy walked in, holding the vial of Evelyn's blood, hesitating, opening it, drinking the blood. He went through the drawers until he found a black bag, opening it, pulling out a bottle of medication.

It was Elena's pain medication from the car accident.

Jeremy opened the bottle, pouring the pills onto the sink, tossing the bottle away. He grabbed a glass, using the tap to fill it with water, picking up one pill, holding it in front of him, planning to take them until he overdosed and died.

...

Town Square

Elizabeth and Isabella were walking together.

Elizabeth looked at her. "I have to almost stop dying by fire."

" yeah let's not keep this up." Isabella told her. "Are you okay with everything? I mean, today was a lot to deal with, for everybody."

Elizabeth nodded. "Nearly died by fire again, but I'm good." She shook her head.

"Well, on the bright side, you don't have to worry about them anymore, Elizabeth." Isabella told her. "Other than you, they're all gone."

"You mean, angry and pissed off vampires with a vengeance won't try to kill me to get revenge anymore?" Elizabeth asked in mock.

Isabella smiled. "Who would've thought?" She shook her head at Elizabeth sarcastically. Elizabeth smiled a small smile. "Can't believe Emma let herself be used as a connection to save us. She helped save us. Again."

"Isabella, she must be insane." Elizabeth told her.

"No arguments here, Lizzie." Isabella told her. Elizabeth stopped walking, wrapping her arms around Isabella. Isabella returned the embrace. Elizabeth chuckled. Isabella pulled away. "What?"

"Just haven't had a hug since the day I turned." Elizabeth answered softly. "And that was from my bitch of a sister."

Isabella smiled a small smile, hitting her lightly on the shoulder playfully. "Come on. Let's get home and get at least a thousand days of rest, because we were almost barbecued."

They started to walk away.

"Sounds good to me." Elizabeth told her. Bonnie walked toward them. "Oh, hey."

"Hey." Bonnie told them. "I've been looking for you guys."

"Oh." Isabella told her.

Bonnie sighed. "Emma and Elena are my best friends, Isabella. And because they care about your brothers, and Elizabeth cares about them and you because you're her family, her only family, I couldn't let you die in that fire."

"I'm very grateful, Bonnie." Isabella told her. "I hope you know that."

"I do." Bonnie told her. "But I hope you know that things have to change. Damon has to change."

"We all want the same thing." Elizabeth told her.

"We all want to protect the people we care about." Bonnie told them. "The difference is, for you, Damon is one of them. You saw what I was able to do tonight. I know who I am now. And if Damon spills so much as one drop of innocent blood, I'll take him down, Elizabeth. Even if I have to take you, Isabella and Stefan with him."

Isabella saw how serious she was. "Let's hope it doesn't come to that."

"Let's hope it doesn't." Bonnie agreed.

...

Gilbert House - Outside

(Song:) Bloodstream - Stateless

Damon walked out onto the porch.

Emma walked toward the house with a garment bag. "What are you doing here?"

"Failed a feeble attempt at doing the right thing." Damon asked.

"Which was..." Emma trailed off.

"It's not important." Damon told her. "Let me take this for you."

Damon took the bag, setting it aside.

"Thank you." Emma told him.

"You know, I came to this town wanting to destroy it." Damon told her. "Tonight, I found myself wanting to protect it. How does that happen? I'm not a hero, Emma. I don't do good. It's not in me."

"Maybe it is." Emma told him.

"Nah." Damon told her. "It's reserved for Stefan, Isabella, Lizzie, Elena, you... and Bonnie, who even though she has every reason to hate me, still helped Stefan and you save me and Isabella and Elizabeth and Evelyn."

"Why do you sound so surprised?" Emma asked. "Bonnie is a good person. She's a good person at heart."

"Because she did it for you." Damon told her. "Which means that somewhere along the way, you decided that I was worth saving. And I wanted to thank you for that, Emma."

"You're welcome." Emma told him. Damon kissed her on the cheek. They looked at each other. Damon looked as if he wanted to kiss her. Emma hesitated, shaking her head. "Damon, I can't."

"Oh, I know." Damon told her.

"I'm sorry." Emma told him.

Damon looked at her for a moment. "Don't be."

Elena approached them with her things, stopping when they saw them. "Hi..."

Damon turned away.

Emma looked at Elena awkwardly. "Hi. It's late. We should probably go inside."

Emma looked at Damon, grabbing her bag, walking toward the door, opening it, walking inside.

Elena walked up the porch steps, walking inside.

Damon looked at the house for a moment, walking out into the night, leaving.

(Song Ends)

...

Foyer

Elena closed the door, looking at Emma. "What are you doing, Emma?"

"I don't want to talk about it." Emma told her, walking upstairs.

Elena watched her go weirdly.

...

Jeremy's Room

Evelyn was on his bed sleeping, tear stains on her cheeks.

Jeremy walked in, lying on the bed next to her, falling asleep.

...

Kitchen

John was in the kitchen, opening the fridge, closing it, revealing Elena to be standing there. "You scared me."

"Sorry." Elena told him, walking past him to the kitchen island counter.

"You know..." John trailed off, turning to face her. "I first met Isobel when I was a teenager. I fell in love with her instantly, although I'm pretty sure she never loved me. She was special. A part of why I hate the vampires so much is because of what she became, how it ruined her. And I never would have sent her to Damon had I known she wanted to turn." Elena looked at John, putting dishes away. "It's my fault. I'm telling you this because I hoped maybe you'd understand."

"Thank you." Elena told him.

"Can I help?" John asked.

Elena looked at his ring. "Sure."

Elena grabbed a knife from nearby, cutting John's fingers off with the ring, pushing him against the sink, revealing herself not to be Elena, making him scream in pain, transforming.

"Katherine?" John asked incredulously.

"Hello, John." Katherine told him. "Goodbye, John."

Katherine stabbed him in the stomach.

...

Outside

Elena walked toward the front door, on the phone. "I looked everywhere. Yeah, someone definitely took my stuff. I'm just gonna check on Jeremy and Emma before I go to the hospital. Can you meet me there? Okay. I love you, Stefan."

...

Foyer

Elena walked in. "Emma?"

Emma walked downstairs. "Elena?"

"What's wrong?" Elena asked. "What's happening?"

Emma shook her head in confusion. "I don't know." She looked at Elena's clothes, realizing that they weren't the clothes that Katherine was wearing. "Why did you change again?"

"What?" Elena asked. "What are you talking about?"

They heard a noise from the kitchen.

Emma and Elena exchanged a look, walking toward the kitchen.
