Irrefutable evidence that Damon was in love with Bonnie, but was oblivious to the fact (part 4)
Exhibit D
Season 7, episodes 14 & 15
Since Iāll be submitting a variety of scenes from 2 episodes, I will only leave the video evidence in this one:
Okay, this one is going to serve two purposes; one, to once again prove that Damon was in love with Bonnie; second, to use a controversial argument to do it. The argument in question: Damonās decision to desiccate without telling Bonnie, or saying goodbye.
To put things into context, it is crucial to consider the previous events that took place before he made this decision. Bonnie almost died trying to protect Damon from Tyler in the armory. Why is this so important? Because Damon was absolutely terrified when this happened. Now, does this justify him desiccating and leaving Bonnie behind, not at all, but it is extremely relevant to understand his motive. What is the only thing Damon couldnāt possibly deal with? It sure as hell wasnāt not being able to be with Elena, he had been dealing with that the best he could. It was NOT being able to protect Bonnie. His decision to desiccate had NOTHING to do with Elena, and EVERYTHING to do with Bonnie. He couldnāt bear with the mere possibility of Bonnie getting hurt, much less if it had something to do with him. The Tyler situation was too close, it was at that moment when it hit him, as long as he was close to her, she would always be in danger.
Did he take the cowards way out? Maybe, but it is very understandable, and totally within his character. Damon always tries to avoid rather than confront; specially when itās something that scares him. Another reason why he probably never faced the fact that he was in love with Bonnie. Point in place clearly being that Damon desiccated because he loved Bonnie, so much so, that he was willing to ālooseā her, as long as that meant she would be safe. Damn, if that doesnāt scream out love, I donāt know what does.
Ironically, and despite the popular opinion, it was the most self-less act he ever did in the name of love; putting himself out of the equation (as he said it himself) was the only way for him to be sure that no harm would ever come to Bonnie at his expense. That is the core difference between his feelings for Bonnie vs. his feelings for Elena. With Bonnie; and I will specify that this is at this point in time, after they became close friends, because he obviously didnāt feel like this before; Damon cares about HER, he is willing to give anything up for her happiness and safety. With Elena, itās more about HIM, what Elena represents to him, which in all honesty, is nothing more than catering to his obsession, and finally getting āthe girlā (there is endless evidence to prove this).
But, why did Damon decide not to tell Bonnie, and to say goodbye in a letter? Because if he would have, he wouldnāt have gone through with it, and I will come back to this point, when we review the next exhibit, which is the letter. Think about it, he told Stefan, but he COULDNāT tell Bonnie. And, most importantly, he LEAVES his brother (although temporary as he states, since they are vampires), but he walks away from him (knowing he has that scar), to make sure Bonnie will be safe; which is something Damon has NEVER done before.
Then, when Bonnie shows up at the storage, notice how at first he tries to play it off as a no biggie, trying to build on their jokes/and insults dynamic; but when she cries and tells him that it hurts her, he completely changes his expression; trying to reach out to her (put extra attention on his eye expressions, and hard swallowing). But, why doesnāt he say anything? Because if he did, and Bonnie knew the real reason he was doing this, she would most definitely stop him from doing it. As long as she thinks heās doing this for himself, he knows she will, although hurt and pissed, let him go.
To reinforce the point of just how much Damon loves Bonnie, Iām going to submit a second piece of evidence from a firsthand source, Ian himself, clearly stating this:
So, in closing, I think that we can all agree that Damonās decision to desiccate was clear and irrefutable evidence that DamonĀ LOVED Bonnie; and, as Ian pointed out, he loved her more than ANYONE he knows (Elena included).

Cut to - Munich, Germany. Sage is at the University lab, late at night. She seems to be transferring information from one of the main computers into a USB device. From the look on her face, sheās probably not supposed to be doing that.Ā
A few minutes later, Pietro sneak vamps behind her and starts kissing her neck.
Ā PIETRO: (Peeking at the computer screen) What is my head of project doing here at this time of night, instead of in my bed?
SAGE: (Trying to hide her true intentions the best that she can) Sorry, I couldnāt sleepā¦ I think we missed something when we did the isolation processā¦
PIETRO: And what would that be?
SAGE: Look at the DNA structure (points to an image on the screen)ā¦
PIETRO: Darling, you forget Iām a businessman. I have no idea what Iām looking at...
SAGE: There are some structural changes; barely visibleā¦ but it seems there were errors in the genetic coding.
PIETRO: Still not understanding a word you are saying. What does that mean?
SAGE: It means it mutatedā¦
PIETRO: (Gets a call, looks at his cellphone screen) I have to take this. Iāll be back in a moment (leaves the room to take the call).
SAGE: (As soon as he walks out the door, she checks to see how the download process is going)Ā Come on, come onā¦ (on another window, which looks to be some kind of GPS tracking map, she anxiously waits for a resultā¦ seconds later, she seems to have found what she had been looking for) Got you! (Looking at the result) What the hell is that place? Well, at least we know where it is nowā¦ pinpoint location, copy, pasteā¦ (she transfers the information into the drive and manages to take out the device just in time. She quickly puts it in one of her lab robe pockets. Just as she is about to text someone, Pietro vamps back, starts kissing her neck again).
PIETRO: (As he kisses her, he whispers) You know that saying, āIt's lonely at the topāā¦ ( Violently snaps her neck).Ā It isā¦
Cut to ā Damon, Stefan, Bonnie, and Caroline, having a drink in the living room.
DAMON: So, ladies, what is this about? You are freaking me out.
STEFAN: That makes two of usā¦
CAROLINE: Well, we thought it would be best if we told you together.
DAMON: Not helping, Barbie. Whatās going on?
BONNIE: Itās about your familyā¦
CAROLINE: You know how your dad had another kidā¦
STEFAN: Only good thing to come out of that, were Sarah and Uncle Zach. (Sarcastic) But then, of course, Damon had to kill them.
DAMON: Oh, come on, bro! I said I was sorry!
STEFAN: I know. Just saying, you were a dick.
BONNIE: Guys, you are going off topic; thatās not the point.
DAMON: (Smirks) Thank you, Bon!
CAROLINE: We wanted to ease you into this, but Iām just going to say it. Your half-brotherās name is Pietro Salvatore, and he is very much alive. Well, sort ofā¦
DAMON: (He and Stefan crack-up) Good one, Goldilocks, but thatās impossible.
STEFAN: Is this some kind of retaliation for Vegas? Did someone snitch? I bet it was Kai! (Turns to Damon) I told you!
DAMON: That littleā¦
BONNIE: Guys, we are serious. Turns out he is the head of Elenaās medical program in Munich. And, it is possible in the same way itās possible for you to be more than 200 years oldā¦
DAMON: Even from his grave Giuseppe still finds a way to mess with usā¦
STEFAN: I canāt believe thisā¦ How are we finding out about him now? He seems to have been around for a long timeā¦ youād figure we would have found out about him over the years.
DAMON: Well, itās not like thereās a vampire club.
BONNIE: You should probably also know that the āmystery womanā, was a Petrova.
DAMON: You have got to be kidding me! Have we secretly fallen into an episode of the Twilight Zone?!
CAROLINE: Also, from what Elena told us, heās up to no good.
DAMON: Given the Salvatore track record, wouldnāt expect him to be āvampire of the yearā.
STEFAN: I think I need some time to process thisā¦
BONNIE: Elena gave us some research on his background (hands them a folder). She got it from one of her university friends who got close to him. None of us have seen it; figured you should be the ones to look at it first. Weāll give you guys some spaceā¦ (she and Care leave).
Cut to - Munich, Germany. Elena, Sam, and Alex, in one of their Cadaveric Anatomy practices.
Ā ALEX: Where is Sage? Sheās never lateā¦
SAM: Didnāt she tell you? She went home for the holidays; sent me a text earlier. Spur of the moment type thing.
ALEX: Thatās strange, she didnāt tell me anythingā¦ And, she hates her family. Why would she go see them?
SAM: I stopped trying to understand what goes through Sageās head a long time ago.
ELENA: In her defense, no matter how crazy it may be, there is no place like homeā¦
SAM: Feeling home sick?
ELENA: A littleā¦ (he kisses her). I know I was just there, but itās always hard to spend the holidays away from home.
SAM: It sure is. Was the info Sage got on Pietro any useful to them?
ELENA: Not sure, I didnāt read it. Gave it to Bonnie and Caroline to do what they thought was best (someone walks in).
PROFESSOR: Students, may I have your attention. I have a couple of announcements. First, we have a new temporary program director, Mr. Salvatore had to go out of the country to attend other matters. Until further notice, Mr. Veritas Dracul will be taking his place. You will have a chance to meet him later on, once he is settled in. Second, and I ask you not to be alarmed, this is only a precaution. We have been informed that one of our main lab computers has been breached. Special Agents will be investigating, and they will need your full collaboration. Until they find everyone involved, the main lab will be inaccessible to students without Faculty supervision. Last, but not least, for all of those who will be staying here for the holidays, we have planned some wonderful festivities; we look forward to seeing you there! Thatās all for now, have a productive day (walks out).
ELENA: It sounds seriousā¦ You donāt think Sage had anything to do with that, do you?
SAM: Not sure, but she probably knows more about it.
ALEX: And now Iām sure Sage didnāt just āgo home for the holidaysā. We need to find out whatās going onā¦ (takes his phone out and calls Sage) Straight to voice mailā¦
SAM: Maybe we should check out her room, see if we find anything off.
ALEX: It feels all sorts of stalker wrong; but I agree.
ELENA: You guys really think she was the one that broke into the computer? The main computers are off limits to students. Even if she is on the inside, I highly doubt Pietro would give her access to classified information.
SAM: Ever heard of the term honey trap?
ALEX: I fucking hate that guy! And if he hurt Sage in any way, Iām going to kill him.
SAM: Letās not jump to any conclusions. Sage is as tough as they come, if anyone knows how to defend themselves, itās her. Iām sure sheās fine.
ALEX: Still, this is a vampire we are talking about, not your average Joe. If Sage got caught phishing around, I donāt think he would just let her off with a hand slap.
ELENA: Iāve seen the worst side of both his brothers; yet he scares me more than they ever didā¦
SAM: Okay, one step at a time. Alex, send her a text. Maybe she ran out of battery or sheās flying. If you donāt get a reply by the end of the day, weāll check out her room and take it from there.
Cut to ā Edwardās mansion. Heās sleeping in his room, wakes up suddenly, shaking and sweating.Ā
He gets out of bed, and makes his way to the study. Finds the Madame having a glass of wine.
Ā EDWARD: Figured you would still be here. Do you ever sleep?
THE MADAME: Do you?
EDWARD: I was, until another nightmare woke me up.
THE MADAME: How come you hadnāt told me you have been having nightmares?
EDWARD: I was hoping they would go away eventually, but they are not. I need your help.
THE MADAME: Of course, love, whatever you need.
EDWARD: I want you to read my mind.
THE MADAME: Edwardā¦ we agreed it was best I never do that.
EDWARD: I know. But these nightmares feel different. I really need to know what they are about.
THE MADAME: There are other ways to do that. We can find you one of those dream interpreters.
EDWARD: You know better than anyone those people are charlatans. This is the only way.
THE MADAME: A very dangerous oneā¦
EDWARD: If it helps me get rid of the nightmares, Iām willing to take the risk.
THE MADAME: They are that bad?
EDWARD: They are.
THE MADAME: You know there are no guarantees.
EDWARD: Like I said, Iām willing to risk it.
THE MADAME: Are you positive, dear? Once itās done, there is no going backā¦
EDWARD: I knowā¦
THE MADAME: Fineā¦ I will do it. But you must promise me you will not skip a single dose of your medication. Your mind is fragile, and this is not going to help with that.
EDWARD: I wonāt. And my mind is not that fragile.
THE MADAME: You know what I am talking about. Iām only trying to protect you.
EDWARD: And I thank you. But I promise, I will be fine; I can handle it. Now, how does this work?
THE MADAME: I need you to sit down, relax, and close your eyes (he does). Now, take deep breaths, try to leave your mind at a blank. Just focus on your respirationā¦Ā
(She places her hands on his head, and closes her eyesā¦).
Cut to ā The Lockwood mansion. Matt is in his bathroom, staring at the mirror. He looks frustrated and scared. Khuyana walks in.
Ā KHUYANA: Matt, what is going on? Are you okay?
MATT:Ā I thought it would go away, but its been some time now, and still no changeā¦ Iām losing eyesight on my left eye. All I see are shadows and bright lightsā¦
KHUYANA: What!?Ā How come you didnāt tell me?! We need to have a Doctor check you out immediately.
MATT: They haveā¦ I didnāt want to tell you because I didnāt want you to get upset. When I was taken by those āsketchyā military guys, they messed me up so bad that I actually lost an eye. Sick bastards put this weird bionic eye in its place. I donāt remember anything, I found out when I went to get it checked. Sorry I didnāt tell you; I was scared and really hoping this thing would work. The Doctors told me that it is the highest tech they had ever seen, and that I could actually regain my full eyesight. Butā¦ I havenāt. There is no way I can remain a Sheriff like thisā¦
KHUYANA: Oh my god, Mattā¦ Iā¦Iā¦ I donāt know what to say (hugs him)ā¦
MATT: Guess Iāll have to find a job that doesnāt require 20/20 vision.
KHUYANA: But you love your job! Iām sure there is a way around this.
MATT: K, I shot Penny with perfect sight, imagine what I could do nowā¦ I canāt put anyone at risk.
KHUYANA: Iām going to stop you right there! You are the best Sheriff this town has ever had!
MATT: Second bestā¦
KHUYANA: Regardless, you are not giving up your lifeās dream because you feel you might not be fit for it! What happened to Penny was a tragedy, and it had nothing to do with your skills! Iāve seen you practice shooting blindfolded, so donāt you dare tell me you arenāt good for the job! Plus, have you ever heard of Daredevil? If he can, you sure as hell can!
MATT: (Smirks) I knew I should have told you before, you always find a way to make everything better.
KHUYANA: Yes, you should have told me! We are a team; we deal with things together (kisses him). Everything will be fineā¦
MATT: (Caresses her tummy) It sure willā¦
KHUYANA: I know youāve been dying to tell your friends. Tell you what, weāll do it after New Yearās.
MATT: Ā I love you, Kā¦
KHUYANA: I love you, Mā¦ (they kiss).
TVD 9x18 (part 2) coming next! Hope you stop by, read, and enjoy! =)
TVD 9x16 - What happens in Vegas... (part 2 of part 2) Enjoy! =)
Itās absolute madnessā¦ clearly not a chapel, nothing holy about this place.
Ā LEXI: Now Iām really starting to get worried. How the hell did we end up here?
KATHERINE: Looks like someone has a thing for kink.
BONNIE: Probably you!
KATHERINE: Oh, I own it. Definitely my type of scene.
BONNIE: (To herself) Why do I even bother?
ELENA: Letās walk around, see if anyone recognizes us.
KATHERINE: First, what makes you think you are so unique to be recognized? Second, look at every one here, theyāre all wearing costumes. Guessing that was the reason behind your ill-fitting outfit, Maria.
ELENA: Better than stripper shoe ho.
BONNIE: Guys, come on; we need to focus. Maybe we can talk to some bartenders, or security.
KATHERINE: Itās our best bet. Bonnie and I can check with the bartenders, you two with security; weāll meet back here in 20. (The girls part ways on their assigned mission).
BONNIE: (Looking at the decadence, and straight out insanity) How did we ever end up hereā¦ why, god, whyā¦
KATHERINE: I know you think this was all me, but my money is on Radka. Trust me, the intellectual types are always the craziest ones. (They approach the bar, she leans in, talks to the bartender). Hello, stud, think you can get these two ladies a bourbon?
BONNIE: What? No!
KATHERINE: (Whispering) Do you want information or not!? We need to blend in, so donāt be a crybaby and play along. It might help with the hangover.
BARTENDER: (Turns around an immediately recognizes them) Oh, no; you two are cut off. How are you still here?! Iām surprised you are even aliveā¦
KATHERINE: Listen, sweetie, we are having some difficulty trying to remember why we were here last night, and the events that took place in this unholy scenario.
BARTENDER: (Laughs) You donāt remember?
BONNIE: Nothing at all. So, please, help us out? We are missing a friend; we really need to find her and head back home.
BARTENDER: Let me guess, you are missing one of the ānewlywedsā. Who, the nun or the priest?
BONNIE: What priest?
BARTENDER: The blonde cheery one.
KATHERINE: (Cracks up) Oh, this is too good!
BONNIE: No, no, noā¦ Caroline?!
BARTENDER: Yeah, I think thatās her name. Except she kept referring to herself as Father Forbesā¦ Listen, I see a lot of fucked up things around here, but I have to say, your little entourage, craziest shit ever!
KATHERINE: So, those two got married?
BARTENDER: Not for real, just role-playing, thatās our thing. Weirdest āweddingā Iāve seen in hereā¦ Weirdest thing Iāve seen, period.
BONNIE: I can definitely use a drink now.
BARTENDER: Fine, thereās no way I can say no to that face (he serves them the drink).
BONNIE: Can you tell us anything else?
KATHERINE: Like our choice of costumes, for example.
BARTENDER: Well, there was the nun and the priestā¦ You (referring to Bonnie), were dressed like Whitney Houston, in her āQueen of the Nightā outfit, and totally rocked it! You (to Katherine), were dressed as The Bodyguard. Then there was Anthony and Cleopatraā¦ Oh, and the other two, Ā Britney Spears and the Police Officer; canāt forget those two, hilarious!
BONNIE: Iām beginning to see a patternā¦
KATHERINE: Aw, Bon Bon, we were an item! Talk about a dream team!
BONNIE: Waitā¦ Britney Spears and a cop?
BARTENDER: Yeah, they were pretty wild. I have to hand it to her, she totally pulled it off, could have fooled me.
BONNIE: Please tell me the nun and the priest were the only ones that got āmarriedā.
BARTENDER: (Smirks) They were. You two were gonna give it a go, but you ran out of cash, and we donāt accept cards, soā¦
BONNIE: Thank god!
KATHERINE: If only you were that lucky! But I have to say, I would have paid some serious money just to see Damonās face react to the news.
BONNIE: Just focus! Anything else you can tell us?
BARTENDER: Wellā¦ Cleopatra kept going on and on about a betā¦ and something about a clown. You (referring to Katherine) and the nun kept ranting about some DoppelgƤngerās curseā¦ The priest kept talking to Britney Spears and the cop about this guy, Stefan, I think it was? Anthony, maybe the craziest one out of you all, kept howling as she ādug upā the ground looking for bonesā¦ And, this goddess right here (referring to Bonnie); ruled the stage like the queen she is.
BONNIE: Ohā¦ no I didnātā¦
BARTENDER: You sure did; and it was spectacular! Best thing that has ever happened to meā¦
KATHERINE: Looks like someone is crushing.
BARTENDER: Iām totally lovestruck; and if you ever change your mind about that Damon guy, you know where to find me (winks).
BONNIE: Okay, uhmā¦ thank you, I guess. Ā
KATHERINE: Do you know around what time we were here? How long we stayed?
BARTENDER: Sorry, canāt help you there. Time doesnāt exist in this place.
BONNIE: Well, thanks for the info.
BARTENDER: Till we meet again, my queen (they walk away).
Cut to ā another part of the bar. Elena and Lexi spot what they are almost certain is a security guard and approach him. The second he recognizes them he calls for back up, they find Katherine and Bonnie, and take them all out through the back door.
SECURITY GUARD: No, noā¦ you are all banned from here, for at least a year. Donāt try coming back before that (they leave).
KATHERINE: Well, thatās thatā¦ Who wants to bet the reason we got banned from this place, was the nun and the priest.
ELENA: What priest?
KATHERINE: The one you married (canāt help but laugh).
ELENA: (Looks at Bonnie) Wait, you found the guy I married!? Who is he!? Where is he!?
BONNIE: Uhmā¦ more like a sheā¦ and we have no idea, thatās who weāre trying to findā¦
ELENA: (Looking confused) What?...
LEXI: And I thought I had seen it allā¦ (Cracks up) Holy fuck, you married the bride!!
ELENA: What!! No!! Shut up!!
BONNIE: Oh, you didā¦Ā
... but donāt worry, it was only pretend.
ELENA: No, no, no, noā¦ how could that be??
BONNIE: Did you see that place?! Wouldnāt be the wildest thing going on in thereā¦ Oh, and I think we kidnapped the ācopā from here. The bartender told us we were with two other people, one dressed like a cop, the other, like Britney Spears.
LEXI: Why in godās name would we hang out with someone whoās choice for a costume was Britney Spears?!
ELENA: Why in godās name would I pretend-marry Caroline!!!Ā We really need to find her, and get out of here, like now!Ā
(One of the security guards that had just kicked them out, sneaks back to talk to them, sensing they could use some help).
SECURITY GUARD: Ladies, remember, the answer always lies within a womanās purseā¦ (leaves).
KATHERINE: Talk about a nut house. What the hell was up with that?
BONNIE: (It hits her) Everyone, check your purses and phonesā¦
KATHERINE: Duh! (They search for clues). Ā
LEXI: I found somethingā¦ (takes out a clown nose). Doesnāt give us much insight, but I think itās safe to say that there was definitely a clown involvedā¦
KATHERINE: And a Doctor? (Takes out a stethoscope).
ELENA: (Browsing her phone) Greatā¦ the she-devil was right; I did invite herā¦
KATHERINE: (Smirks) Told you soā¦
BONNIE: Well, for some reason, I have Carolineās phoneā¦ (she goes through the phone, finds some āusefulā messages, if they can manage to decipher them). She sent Stefan a WhatsApp at 10:30pmā¦
CAROLINE: OMG!! You will not believe where I am right now!!!
STEFAN: What are you ladies up to??
CAROLINE: Iāll give you a hintā¦ Hit me baby one more timeā¦
STEFAN: Hell, no!! Really??!!
CAROLINE: Yessss! The girls surprised me!!! Theyāre the best!!!!
STEFAN: Didnāt know she was performing in Vegasā¦
CAROLINE: She has a residency; think sheās living here now.
STEFAN: Interestingā¦ Howās the show?
CAROLINE: Itās soooo amazing!! Have to go now, love you! Iāll write you in a bit XOXO
STEFAN: Love you too! Have fun, but not too much fun!
CAROLINE: Ditto!
Ā Then she wrote him at 11:30ā¦
Ā CAROLINE: OMG!OMG!OMG! Bonnie just hooked us up with backstage passes!! I canāt believe Iām actually going to meet her!!
STEFAN: (laughing emoji) Send her my regardsā¦ waitā¦ no, donāt!
CAROLINE: WTF?!!! Youāve met her?? How come you never told me!!!! You know Iām a huge fan!!!
STEFAN: Long time ago, long storyā¦. Whatever you do donāt mention Bon Jovi
CAROLINE: You have to tell me the story!! Ooh, but not now, were about to go inside!! Love you!
STEFAN: Just remember, not everything is what it seems!!
Ā Then she wrote him at 1amā¦
Ā CAROLINE: Stefan Salvatore, how dare you!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You have some explaining to do!!! And, just so you know, Iām with Brit!!!!!!!!!! Youāre in trouble young man!! OMG! Gotta go, Britney is taking us to church!! This isnāt over Mr.!!!
And he wrote back at 2:40amā¦
STEFAN: Caroline Elizabeth Forbes, donāt trust her!! Iāll give her hers!!!!!!! Screw Kaiās wedding, going get revenge, got Mattās unicornā¦ shit battery low, stall!!! Love yooo
Ā Thatās itā¦ last message. No photos, which is probably for the bestā¦
KATHERINE: Well, guess that sort of answers the Kai question.
ELENA: (To Bonnie) I still canāt believe you let him outā¦ I know he seems to have changed, but I just canāt get past what he did to us.
KATHERINE: Oh, please! Donāt be a hypocrite. You can get over Damon killing your brother, but you canāt get over Kai putting you in a nap? Talk about double standards!
ELENA: Oh, donāt you dare talk to me about standards, or killing my brother!
LEXI: (Sarcastic) And here we go againā¦ (To herself) Should have definitely gone with the boysā¦ way too much drama here.
BONNIE: Guys, please, letās drop this. We really need to get our shit together and find Caroline.
ELENA: Fine, fineā¦ Sorry, Bon, youāre right. But we still have no idea where she could be. We got nothing!
LEXI: Okay, hear me out, and this may sound crazy, but itās all I gotā¦ Judging from the messages, we did meet Britney Spears backstage, right? So, what if the look alike, was not a look alikeā¦ what if we came here with her?
ELENA: Thatās absurd!
KATHERINE: This coming from the nun who married a priest and woke up holding a dildoā¦
ELENA: Wait, how do you know I was holding aā¦ You know what, never mind, I donāt want to know.
KATHERINE: Trust me, you donāt (winks).
LEXI: Itās not impossibleā¦ Think about it, what better way to avoid being recognized than hiding in plain sight.
BONNIE: Thatās trueā¦ Maybe we did come here with the real Britney ā¦ and at some point, we decided to kidnap her cop palā¦
KATHERINE: If we want any answers, I think we all know what we need to doā¦ Whoās up for some good old fashion stalking?
ELENA: Oh, god, really?
KATHERINE: Got a better idea?
ELENA: (Rolls her eyes) Noā¦
BONNIE: Iāll get us an uber. (Suddenly, a van pulls into the alley, a group of guys get out. They shoot Katherine and Lexi with vervain, Bonnie and Elena with sedatives; they put them in the van and drive away). Ā
Cut to - The middle of the desert.Ā
The girls, still inside the van, begin to wake up slowly, one by one. First one to regain consciousness, Katherine (why am I not surprised).
KATHERINE: What theā¦
KEVIN: Where is AJ?
KATHERINE: Who the hell are you, and who the hell is AJ?!
NICK: You donāt recognize us? I mean, I know weāve aged, but, really?
BRIAN: Look closerā¦
KATHERINE: (Staring at their facesā¦) No idea.
HOWIE: Letās see if this refreshes your memoryā¦ Ready, boys?Ā
(They start singing āI want it that wayā, a Capella).
KATHERINE: Nop; I got nothingā¦
NICK: Oh, c'mon! Really??
KEVIN: Never mind, just tell us where AJ isā¦
KATHERINE: I told you I donāt know any AJ!! What I do know, is that you have made the worst mistake of your life!
Ā (She tries to fang it up, but is too weak).
HOWIE: (Smirks) Vervainā¦ aināt that a bitch!
ELENA: (Wakes up, still a bit dazed) You got that rightā¦ (as soon as she realizes who they are with, she reacts). OMG!!! Are you kidding me?!! Is this for real?!
BRIAN: Oh, itās very realā¦
ELENA: (Fangirling hard) OMG! OMG! I love you guys!!!!
NICK: Ah, there we go! I knew we still had it!
ELENA: What are you guys doing here? (Teasing) Have you come to save us from our captors?
KATHERINE: Wake up and smell the felony, sweetie, they are our captors!
ELENA: What? No way!ā¦ (Looks at them) Thatās not true, right? (They nod; she looks distraught) Butā¦ butā¦why?Ā
(Bonnie and Lexi start to wake up.)
BONNIE: (Holding her head, looking quite confused) Where are we?
LEXI: (Also looking out of it) Oh, godā¦ not againā¦
BRIAN: Okay, now that you are all awake, weāll ask again, where is AJ?
BONNIE: Oh, shitā¦ am I hallucinating? I must be hallucinatingā¦ I could swear Iām looking at the Backstreet Boysā¦
HOWIE: You are, and we are pissed! So, once again, where the hell is AJ!
LEXI: Calm down, boys, Iām sure we can all figure this outā¦Ā Ā
KEVIN: Ladies, you seem like nice people, (turns to Katherine) except for you. Just tell us where our friend is, and weāll be good.
ELENA: (Connecting the dots)ā¦ Uhm, question, did he happen to wear a cop uniform last night?
NICK: Probably. He always gets in cosplay when he goes to that freak bar with Brit. Last we heard he was heading there with her and a couple of crazy girlsā¦ Iām assuming those are youā¦
BRIAN: Care to fill us in on what happened to him?
BONNIE: We are trying to figure that out ourselvesā¦ we donāt remember much about last night, but I think he might be at our hotelā¦
ELENA: Listen, guys, weāre so sorry. We were really out of it last night, didnāt know what we were doing. We woke up this morning and found someone sleeping in the master bedroomā¦ Ā he was dressed like a cop, had a face cover and was all tied upā¦ We panicked and fled.
KEVIN: Where are you guys staying?
ELENA: At The Mirage.
BRIAN: Room number?
KATHERINE: Villa 3, we travel in style.
ELENA: We can take you there.
KEVIN: Weāll definitely be going there. You, on the other hand, wonāt be going anywhere, unless you can find your way out of this placeā¦ Good luck with that. Donāt worry, weāll leave you the van. Weāre mad but weāre not cruelĀ (a car pulls up).
BRITNEY: (Rolls down her window and smirks) Mission accomplished; letās go, boys! (They hop into the car and drive away.Ā
The girls get out of the van to get a better idea of where they are).
BONNIE: What the hell just happened?!
LEXI: Well, one mystery is solved. Now we need to find a way to get our asses out of here.
KATHERINE: Who wants to bet fangirl here (referring to Elena), was the one that kidnapped their cop friend.
ELENA: God! Do you have a mute button or something!
BONNIE: (Carolineās phone rings) Shit! Itās Damon! What should I do?!
LEXI: Given our current situation, I really think you should answerā¦ (Bonnie takes the call).
DAMON: Care, itās Damonā¦ Listen ...The bachelor party got a little crazy and, well...we lost Stefan.
BONNIE: Uhmā¦think we might have a problem of our ownā¦
DAMON: Bon?
BONNIE: Itās me, I thinkā¦ Anyway; the bachelorette got a little crazy too, and, wellā¦ we lost Caroline.
DAMON: (Canāt help but laugh) Where are you?
BONNIE: (Embarrassed) In the middle of the desertā¦
DAMON: So are we! Maybe we can find each otherā¦
BONNIE: Damon, this desert is huge, thereās no way we are going to find each other.
DAMON: Bon Bon, are you forgetting we have a psychic link? We can find each other.
BONNIE: Well, I can feel youā¦ but my powers are all screwed upā¦
DAMON: (Getting some of his senses back; he takes a closer look and realizes that what he thought was a mirage, might be something elseā¦) Bon, I donāt think you need your powers; just turn aroundā¦
BONNIE: What?
DAMON: Just turn aroundā¦ (she turns around; at a distance she sees some shadows).
BONNIE: Okay, I turned aroundā¦. all I see is desert, and some weird shadows.
DAMON: Thatās because you have horrible vision. Keep walkingā¦ (teasing, with a ghost like voice) walk towards the shadows, Bon Bon. What do you see? (She walks, until she finally has a better vision of what is on the other sideā¦).
BONNIE: I might still be drunkā¦ but I swear, I think I see you?
DAMON: (Smiles) And you would be right. Told you we would find each other, we always do. (They laugh and reunite with that iconic Bamon hug).
LEXI: (Who has also turned around and spotted the boys) Well, will you look at that, what are the odds! Come on, ladies, looks like we arenāt the only ones lost (they walk towards the boys).
KATHERINE: (Looking at Damon and Bonnie hug, turns to Elena, who is also watching) Ouch!Ā
Stings, doesnāt it?
ELENA: (Tired of this endless feud of theirs) What do you want from me?
KATHERINE: I want you to admit it.
ELENA: Admit what?
KATHERINE: That you are jealous. You know, deep down inside, we are not that different.
ELENA: (Looking at Damon and Bonnie) I guess we arenātā¦Ā
(she walks away; Katherine smirks).
DAMON: (To the side) Listen, Bon, before word gets out, I need to tell you myselfā¦ (Shameful) I stripped danced to Britney Spearsā¦
BONNIE: (Laughs)Ā
Wellā¦ you always do that when youāre drunk; you just donāt remember. And, I love it (kisses him).Ā
Listen, I have a confession of my ownā¦
DAMON: (Knowing what sheās about to say) Oh noā¦ you didnāt?!
BONNIE: (Shameful) I didā¦
DAMON: āQueen of the Nightā...?
BONNIE: The worksā¦ Ā Except, this time it wasnāt in front of a mirrorā¦
DAMON: Oh, godā¦where?
BONNIE: Center stage, at this weird ass club.
DAMON: (Laughs, and teases) Wellā¦ you always do that when youāre drunk; you just donāt remember. And, I love it (kisses her; they laugh in complicity).
BONNIE: Okayā¦ Iām not even gonna ask why you guys have a cop car, or why you are in your underwear. We need to move fast if we want to find the bride and groom in time to catch the last plane out.
DAMON: I feel like a no questions policy is the best way to go for now.
BONNIE: I agree. Unless you want to know why Caroline and Elena got married, dressed like a nun and a priestā¦
DAMON: (Laughs) Oh, I donāt want to know, I need to know!
BONNIE: (Smirks) No questions policyā¦ (gives him a peck on the lips). Come on, letās get out of here.
Cut to ā The girlās villa. After a few failed attempts the gang finally manages to find their way out of the desert and back to the villa. Ā
Ā DAMON: (Looking at the wreckage)Ā
Jesus, Bon! And I thought our hotel bill was gonna be bad.
BONNIE: Donāt say I didnāt warn youā¦
ALARIC: Okay, so whatās the plan? We got two hours to make the flight, and we are still clueless as to where they are.
KAI: Letās thinkā¦ Britney said Stefan was where he belonged; where could that be?
IKER: Yeah, I donāt think we can make any sense out of what she said. That girl got some issues!
ELENA: Tell me about it! Sheās definitely overrated.Ā
(Radka, who had stayed behind, given her condition, comes out of one of the bedrooms; as soon as she sees Ric, she runs to hug him).
RADKA: God, am I glad to see you!
ALARIC: Me too (they kiss).
RADKA: Remind me never to trust champagne again!
ALARIC: I know, champagne badā¦
DAMON: Okay, enough with the reunions, can we focus here people! Clock is ticking!
BONNIE: Yes, but first we need to check if our hostage situation has been taken care of.
DAMON: Hostage situation? Bon Bon, what did you do?
BONNIE: Better to leave that unanswered. Elena, come with me?
ELENA: (Sarcastic) For better or worseā¦ (They go into the master bedroom; the place is exactly how they left it. Someone, AJ apparently, still sleeping on the bed, covered from head to toe).
BONNIE: Thatās strangeā¦ you would have thought they had come to get him alreadyā¦
ELENA: Yeah, something seems offā¦
BONNIE: Letās take a peekā¦ (they approach the bed and check under the coversā¦) Holy shit!Ā
(She takes Elenaās hand and immediately teleports out of the room).
ELENA: (Dizzy) Bonnie!
BONNIE: Sorry, I was not expecting to see that!!
ELENA: Yeah, neither was Iā¦ (she and Bonnie laugh in complicity).
DAMON: What happened?
BONNIE: Uhm, well... we found Stefanā¦
DAMON: Thatās great! One down, one to go. Soā¦ (looks around) where is he?
BONNIE: In the master bedroomā¦ But I would really advise you prepare yourself for what you are about to seeā¦
DAMON: Oh, come on, canāt be that badā¦
BONNIE: Trust me, it can.
Ā Damon goes into the master bedroom, approaches the bed cautiously, takes the cover offā¦ Itās Stefan alright, but just as Bonnie had warned him, he was definitely not expecting to see him like that. There he was, his beloved brother, wearing a schoolgirl outfit; blonde wig, piggy tails with pink scrunchies; lovely makeup; impeccable manicured hands, one holding a dildo, the other, a disposable camera.
DAMON: (To himself, sarcastically) Well, this picture is going to haunt me foreverā¦Ā
(Stefan begins to wake up slowly). Hello, brother (smirks).
STEFAN: Damonā¦(looking very dazed and confused) Where am I?
DAMON: (Mocking) Ā Hereās a better questionā¦ Who are you?
STEFAN: What?
DAMON: Oh, brother (points to the mirror above the bed), look...
STEFAN: (Looks at the mirrorā¦ she got him)Ā Itās Britneyā¦ bitch!Ā (He then realizes what he is holding in his hand, and immediately throws it as far away as he can).
DAMON: How many times did I tell you not to mess with the Brit! Anyway, no time for hangover regrets; we are in a bit of a predicamentā¦
STEFAN: No shit, Damon! Look at me!
DAMON: Iād rather not, but thatās not what Iām talking aboutā¦ Your bride is MIA.
STEFAN: What! I knew this was a terrible idea!
DAMON: Calm down, bro. Iām sure weāll find her, sooner or later. Hopefully in a less compromising position. (Suddenly, he hears moans coming from the bathroomā¦) Ha, you gotta be kidding me! (He goes inside. Just as he suspected, there, lying in the bathtub, was the missing pieceā¦ The bride, dressed like a priest, empty bottle of vodka in one hand, a disposable camera in the other. He smirks; canāt resist to greet her with sarcastic commentary). Forgive me father, for I have sinnedā¦
CAROLINE: (Very confused) Damon?... What are you doing here?Ā
(Looks around) ā¦ Where is hereā¦ (Grabs her head) God, my head is killing meā¦ (looks at her attire) What theā¦ What the hell happened last night?!!
DAMON: Wouldnāt we all like to know, but judging from what weāve seen so far, itās probably best that we donāt. Come on (helps her up), we need to move fast if you want to make it to the church on time.
CAROLINE: Oh, you better get me to the church on time! Letās go! Waitā¦ (goes back to the tub and takes the camera).
DAMON: (As they are about to walk out of the bathroom) Just a heads up, Barbie; brace yourself for what you are about to see (smirks)ā¦
Ā The gang, avoiding any further questioning, focus on reassembling, packing it up, and fleeing as fast as possible. Close call, but they manage to catch their flight, and finally, head back home. A promise was made, no one was to talk about what happened, if they ever remembered. What happened in Vegas, stayed in Vegasā¦ but, did it?
Ā TVD 9X17 - I will love you forever. Coming next! Hope you stop by, read, and enjoy! =)
Cut to ā The Salvatore mansion cottage. Damon and Bonnie are showing Kai around; helping him settle in.
Ā DAMON: Okay, it shouldnāt be hard to manage. Stay put, tune down the crazy, and donāt kill anyone. Think you can handle that?
KAI: The only thing Iāll have any trouble handling, is seeing your face on a daily basis. You have a rat face! Ā
DAMON: Aw, ouchy! What are we, five?
KAI: Right back at you.
DAMON: Uhm, okay thenā¦
BONNIE: Guys, itās Thanksgiving, try to play nice.
KAI: He started it!
DAMON: Anyway, unlike you, we actually have plans. Donāt worry, we packed the fridge with blood bags and microwave dinners; sure youāll find something that resembles turkey. Plus (points to a karaoke machine and a jukebox), you have plenty to keep you entertained; and (mocking) Miss Cuddlestein for company, so, looks like youāre set.
BONNIE: (Feeling bad for leaving him to have dinner on his own) Waitā¦ (To Damon, telepathically) we canāt leave him alone, itās Thanksgiving, it aināt right.
DAMON: Bon, Care will kill you.
BONNIE: Doesnāt hurt to askā¦ (grabs her phone, sends a text. Keeps tele conversing with Damon as she waits for a reply).
DAMON: What about the others? They might not be ready for a Kai reunion just yet. Thought we were gonna ease them into itā¦
BONNIE: I know, but sometimes itās better to rip off the band-aid; get it over with.
DAMON: Guess now is as good a time as anyā¦
BONNIE: (Gets a reply) Care says itās a go, as long as we keep him in line.
DAMON: I have a feeling this is going to be a long nightā¦
KAI: (Looking at them with confusion, waves his hands in front of their faces; talks with a robot voice) Ground control to Bonnie and Damon ā¦ What the heck is up with you two?!
BONNIE: Sorry, we needed a little one on one.
KAI: Ooh, you two can do that?! Can you try with me, Bon, pretty please?!
BONNIE: Hellz no! One step at a time. For now, what are you waiting for? Go get readyā¦
KAI: Are you serious?!
BONNIE: You heard me, so go. Care will definitely kill me if you show up wearing that.
KAI: (Overjoyed) You donāt have to tell me twice! (rushes to his room to change).
BONNIE: Have I completely lost my mind?
DAMON: Oh, Bon-Bon, hate to break it to you, but you lost it the minute you let this (referring to himself) slice of crazy into your life.
BONNIE: Well, then itās been worth it (smirks and kisses him. Kai runs out of his room, changed, and excited). That was fast!
DAMON: (Mocking) Iām sure you hear that all the time.
KAI: Ha, ha, funny, Damon. Anyway, I may not have my powers, but I still have some tricks up my sleeve (gives Damon a sarcastic wink). So (turns to Bonnie), how do I look?
BONNIE: Thatāll do; letās go.
KAI: Uhm, excuse me?! Thatāll do? Itās okay, Bonster, you can say it, I look hot!
BONNIE: (Smirks, teasing) Not bad, but Iāve seen better (Damon wiggles his eyebrows and points to himself). Okay, letās go; Care is starting to bombard me with āwhere you atā texts.
Cut to ā Fellās church tombs. Veritas and Lucinda are getting ready to head out for their mystery Thanksgiving party.
Ā VERITAS: (As Lucinda looks at herself in the mirror, he holds her from behind, caresses her hair, and kisses her cheek) You look like a goddess, my love. We might not be in Paris, but I promise you this night will be unforgettable.
LUCINDA: I trust it will be. How much longer will we be staying here?
VERITAS: Not much, my mission is almost complete.
LUCINDA: Good. Small towns are not a fit for me.
VERITAS: They have their charm.
LUCINDA: Not this oneā¦ (Turns around, looks into his eyes) Be true with me; does this have something to do with her?
VERITAS: In a way, but itās not what you think.
LUCINDA: Do you still love her?
VERITAS: Of course I do. I always will, she is my wife.
LUCINDA: But you have been apart for decades; she is your wife only by contract.
VERITAS: Nevertheless, a vow is a vow. Ā
LUCINDA: Where does that leave me?
VERITAS: Exactly where you are; here with me. Is that not enough?
LUCINDA: It isā¦ as long as you promise me this is foreverā¦
VERITAS: Till eternity (kisses her). We must head out now, we are running late, and our host has a low tolerance for tardiness.
Cut to ā Munich, Germany. Thanksgiving dinner party at Pietroās mansion. Pietro and Sage have sneaked off to his study for some alone time. After a passionate quickie, they have a drink and chat.
Ā PIETRO: (Hands her a glass of bourbon, looks at her in amazement) What are you?
SAGE: (Laughs) What kind of question is that?!
PIETRO: Iāve lived for hundreds of years, have had plenty of encounters, there is no way you are humanā¦
SAGE: Iām not sure if I should be flattered or insulted.
PIETRO: Itās definitely not an insultā¦ (kisses her). Listen, I have a proposal for youā¦
SAGE: (Teasing) Slow down there, Iām not that good (winks).
PIETRO: (Smirks) Oh, trust me, you are. But itās not that kind of proposal, more like a business one.
SAGE: Iām all about business, whatās on your mind.
PIETRO: How would you like to be the medical head of a groundbreaking, and Iām talking life changing, secret project?
SAGE: Well, I canāt say yes or no, if you donāt tell me what the āsecretā project isā¦
PIETRO: There are too many protocols involved with disclosing that, and if you are on board, we will eventually get there. But for now, I just need to know if it might be something you would be interested in. If it helps to persuade you, Iāll tell you that you would be a key player in bringing forward a new world order of prosperity.
SAGE: That sounds ambitious, bordering on pretentiousā¦ Iām in!
PIETRO: I knew you were the right person to askā¦ Now, how about another go at it before we rejoin the party. (He grabs her, sits her on his desk, and there they go againā¦)
Cut to ā The underground facility; a luxury ballroom. The place, amongst so many high-tech areas, seems as if it has been stopped in time. An uncanny mix of people, all strange in both attire and manner, begin to arrive. Augustus, the party host, is greeting them. A beautiful woman, holding a childās hand, approaches him.
Ā AUGUSTUS: Hello, darling (kisses her). You look breathtaking.
TAMARA: Thank you, love.
AUGUSTUS: (Pads the kidās head) Hey, buddy!
LITTLE EDWARD: Hello, daddy.
AUGUSTUS: Come, our table is over here (walks them to the table, asks a āwaiterā to open a bottle of champagne to serve Tamara). You guys settle in, let me greet the rest of the guests, Iāll be back to join you soon. Ā
TAMARA: Guess what, moy malen'kiy geroy, mommy made her famous apple pie!
LITTLE EDWARD: Yummy! My favorite.
TAMARA: I know (sweet smile). Oh, and donāt worry, no live turkey this year, pinky swear. Miss Feathers is already a hand full (they laugh).
Cut to ā The Powell mansion. Anthony and the Madame are having an early Thanksgiving dinner.
Ā ANTHONY: Iām glad Mr. Powell decided to attend the Salvatore party, he needs new friends.
THE MADAME: He needs friends, period.
ANTHONY: Now more than ever. He might say he is fine, but we both know that isnāt true. Something happened when he was away, I can see it in his eyes.
THE MADAME: Me tooā¦ But he is resilient, Iām positive he will snap out of it, sooner or later.
ANTHONY: I truly hope itās sooner rather than later; it hurts me to see him struggle.
THE MADAME: I know, but trust that he will be fine, as long as we are with him.
ANTHONY: Alwaysā¦ On another subject; Madame, I donāt want to intrude in your matters, but that visitor you received the other night left me warry, and concerned for youā¦
THE MADAME: Always so perceptive, nothing gets passed you. I thank you for caring.
ANTHONY: Of course I care, Madame, you are family.
THE MADAME: (Canāt hold it back any longer, breaks down) Oh, Anthony, I have made so many horrible mistakes over my lifetimeā¦
ANTHONY: We all have, but that doesnāt define us. Ā
THE MADAME: But it doesā¦ our mistakes are what reflect who we really are.
ANTHONY: You donāt really believe that, do you?
THE MADAME: I believe there is a thin line, and once you cross it, there is no turning back. Iām going to tell you something, but I need you to promise me you wonāt say a word, especially to Edward; I donāt want him involved in this.
ANTHONY: You have my word, Madame.
THE MADAME: That man that came to visit me, his name is Veritas, my estranged husband. He is the one that turned me into a vampire, my sire. He created a side of me that I buried a long time ago, along with him; or so I thoughtā¦
ANTHONY: The minute I opened the door, I could sense something very wrong about him.
THE MADAME: It goes way beyond wrong, dear. He is evil incarnate, sadistic and depraved.
ANTHONY: Why has he come seeking for you?
THE MADAME: To be honest, I donāt know, and that absolutely terrifies me. He told me he was passing through, and just wanted to stop by to say hello. But I know him well, and saying hello is the last thing on his mind. Wherever he goes, chaos, death and destruction, soon followā¦
ANTHONY: I will double security immediately, and make sure he never steps foot in this house again.
THE MADAME: Itās not that simple. If Veritas wants something, there is no stopping him.
ANTHONY: So, what do you suggest we do?
THE MADAME: Pray that he gets what heās come here for, without collateral damage, and moves on.
ANTHONY: Do you think he will return to see you?
THE MADAME: It didnāt seem like it was his intent, but as I said, you never truly know with him.
ANTHONY: Nevertheless, I will place more security on the estate, make sure everyone is on guard. And, I know you donāt want Mr. Powell involved, but I think you should warn him, just in case our prayers arenāt heard.
THE MADAME: You are right, Anthony, as usual. I will talk to him tomorrow. (Looking sad) I was really hoping he would never find out about that part of my lifeā¦
ANTHONY: Madame, Mr. Powell loves you. He knows who you truly are. No matter what you have done in the past, he will keep loving you in spite of.
THE MADAME: (Sighs) I can only hopeā¦
ANTHONY: No need for hope, Madame, that is a fact.
THE MADAME: Anthony, what would we ever do without you? You are the soul of this uncanny family of ours, never forget that.
ANTHONY: And I am forever grateful to be a part of it. (Puts his champagne glass up for a cheer) Happy Thanksgiving, Madame.
THE MADAME: Happy Thanksgiving, Anthony.
Cut to ā the Salvatore mansion. Stefan, Caroline, Margo, Sergei, Iker, Katherine, Edward, Matt, Khuyana, Tyler and Lexi are having some drinks in the living room, waiting for the rest to arrive. Bonnie, Damon, and Kai, walk inside.
Ā KAI: (Socially awkward and enthusiastic) Hey everyone, miss me?
DAMON: (Looks at him with a āuhm, noā face, given the resemblance of his greeting to the massacre wedding one). Really?
KAI: What?
DAMON: Just try to act like a normal person, at least through dinner.
KAI: Pot calling the kettle.
DAMON: That literally makes no sense... (To himself) I knew this was a terrible idea!
KAI: Well, who cares what you think, Bon-Bon invited me, so deal with it.
DAMON: Oh god, this is definitely going to be a long night (walks away, goes to greet everyone, and grab some drinks at the bar).
BONNIE: (Addressing the elephant in the room) Hi everyone, I know this might be awkward, and Iām to blame for that. Please bear with me, I assure you heās harmless. And, if he gets on your nerves, just pretend heās a funny looking alien wearing a tutu, trust me, it does the trick. Okay, now that thatās out of the wayā¦ (Damon hands her a drink) Happy Friendsgiving!
ABBY: (Who has just walked in with Klaus and Danae) Iāll cheer to thatā¦
BONNIE: (Turns around) Mom...? What are you doing here?
KLAUS: Sheās my plus one, love.
ABBY: Hello, Bonnieā¦
BONNIE: What the hell is going on?
DANAE: (Feeling the awkwardness of the moment) Iām going straight for the bar.
KLAUS: Iām coming with.
BONNIE: What is this, mom? You disappear, yet again, for years; and then you show up here, like itās nothingā¦ And, what are you doing with Klaus?! You know what, I donāt even wanna know, just stay away from me and weāll be fine.
ABBY: Bonnie, please, Iā¦
BONNIE: I said, I donāt want to hear it.
(She walks away, goes into the kitchen. Caroline and Damon follow her). Ā
KATHERINE: (Entertained by the messiness of the situation) This is gonna be a fun night!
STEFAN: (Gives her a look) Katherineā¦
KATHERINE: Oh, come on, Stefan; have a little sense of humor! Kai, Bonnieās mom, Klaus, meā¦ this party is a recipe for disaster, you know it.
STEFAN: Well, when youāre right, youāre right. I say, letās get drunk and ride it along.
KATHERINE: I love the way you think. Bourbon or tequila?
STEFAN: I think itās a tequila kinda night.
KATHERINE: On it (goes to the bar, Kai is serving himself a drink). Malachai Parker, canāt believe they really let you out! I know Bonnie is bad-shit crazy, but I never expected thisā¦
KAI: Katherine, the baddest bitch of allā¦ So, whereās the man suit? I think I liked you better in that, and with some duct tape on your mouthā¦ you talk too much.
KATHERINE: Listen, you might have everyone else fooled with this new persona of yours, but I know you Kai, the real you; so Iāll be watching you closelyā¦
KAI: Ooh, kinky, Kitty Kat, but Iām not into that anymore. Our little hell āthingyā was just a temporary slip. You really need to get over it.
KATHERINE: (Sarcastic laugh) Oh, please, Mr. Minuteman, you wish, ā¦ Anyway, letās try to keep things civil, just know I have my eye on you.
KAI: Well, take a picture and it will last longer.
KATHERINE: Really? Thatās your come back?! Maybe you really are harmlessā¦
KAI: Donāt hold your breath on that.
KATHERINE: Aw, just keeps getting worse (walks away).
Ā Cut to ā The Salvatore kitchen.
Ā BONNIE: The balls on that woman, can you believe her?!
CAROLINE: Bonnie, Iām so sorry, I had no idea Klaus would be bringing her. I didnāt even know they were friends.
BONNIE: Knowing my mother, theyāre much more than āfriendsā.
DAMON: Abby and Klaus? Makes no sense! Ā
BONNIE: Nothing about Abby makes sense.
CAROLINE: Iām more than happy to ask them to leave.
BONNIE: No, itās okay, Care, Iām not gonna let it affect me. Just had to vent for a bit, but Iām fine. Sheās not ruining our Friendsgiving.
DAMON: Are you sure, Bon?! I can literally throw them outā¦
BONNIE: Iām sure. How much crazier can it get? I say, letās get drunk and just ride it along. It might actually be kinda fun.
DAMON: Iām in!
CAROLINE: Oh, me too! Right after I serve dinner, of courseā¦ Nah, who am I kidding?! Iām already a little drunkā¦ So, brace yourselves, control freak Caroline is off! (Serves them a shot of tequila) To an insane and careless Friendsgiving dinner! (They chug the shot).
BONNIE: Care, but you worked your ass off cooking all day, we at least have to make it through dinner with some sort of decencyā¦
CAROLINE: Not exactly. I mean, we did work all day on it, but we got ādistractedā at some point, and it all went downhill from thereā¦
BONNIE: So, where did all this food come from?
CAROLINE: Uber eatsā¦ (they laugh). Oh, god, the Mayorā¦ this is so embarrassing! I promised him a five-star menu!
BONNIE: Edward is cool, he wonāt mind. If anything, I think heāll appreciate a little recklessness.
DAMON: With the amount of pressure on that manās back, Iām sure he will.
CAROLINE: Well, whatās important is that we are all together (Stefan walks in).
STEFAN: Guys, things are getting really awkward out thereā¦ I need some back-up.
CAROLINE: (Serves him a shot) Weāve decided to let go, and just enjoy! Whatever happens, happens!
STEFAN: Oh, Iām already three, more like four, steps ahead of you ...
(Suddenly, they hear Kaiās voice on a micā¦ āHappy Friendsgiving everyone! This is a little thank you wink for my long-lost friendsā. He starts singing Alanis Morissetteās - Thank U)
DAMON: Oh, this just keeps getting better and betterā¦Ā (Caroline serves them another shot, they chug it, laugh, and rejoin the group)Ā
CAROLINE: (Takes the mic from Kai to .an announcement) Okay everyone, we are going to change this yearās dynamic, drastically. Dinner is officially a self-serve, whatever you want, whenever you want, banquet in the kitchen, so help yourselves. Entertainment station has already been set by myā¦ whatever he is. And, well, you already know where the bar is. Happy Friendsgiving everyone!
Ā Cut to ā Munich, Germany. Thanksgiving dinner party at Pietroās mansion. Sam and Elena are dancing.
Ā SAM: Seemed like your friends were having a lot of fun. Was it just me, or were they really drunk?
ELENA: Oh, they totally were, I know my people. Usually we wait till after dinner, guess they got a head start this year (They laugh).
SAM: Theyāre so funny; love them. Iām glad you got to talk to them, I know you really miss them; and from what I saw, they are really missing you too.
ELENA: (Excited) Well, Iāll see them very soon for Careās wedding, thanks to you. I canāt wait!
SAM: I can only imagine. And she has no idea youāre going?
ELENA: Absolutely clueless, Bonnie set the whole thing up so we could surprise her at her bachelorette.
SAM: Iām sure that will be the best gift you can ever give her. Iām really sorry I canāt come with; but we need to save money, and travels for two just goes up way too high.
ELENA: I totally understand; the fact that you surprised me with the plane ticket was more than I could ever ask for. Thank you, you have no idea how much this means to me (kisses him).
SAM: No thanks required; nothing makes me happier than seeing you happy. And trust me, I twirled around with the idea of asking my family for money so we could both go; but that would destroy my point of being able to make it on my own, without their trust fund.
ELENA: I know, and I admire you so much for that.
SAM: We still need to figure out your lodging. Are you staying at the mansion?
ELENA: Oh no, that would be way too weird. Iāll ask Matt if I can stay with him.
SAM: Great; well let me know what he says, and if not, Iāll arrange a hotel. Ā
ELENA: Youāve already done more than enough; donāt worry, Iāll figure it out. Again, thank you; you are the best; I love you.
SAM: I love you too (kisses her, they continue to dance).
Ā Cut to - The Salvatore living room. Stefan is pouring himself a drink, Kai joins him.
Ā KAI: Estefan, long time no see. How you been, buddy?!
STEFAN: Seriously?! You really are as crazy as they come.
KAI: Oh, come on, donāt be that way. Iām just trying to make friendly conversation; give me a chanceā¦
STEFAN: Well, Iām no angel, so Iām not the one to judge. Tell you what, Iāll give it a try, but meet me have way, and try not to act so creepy.
KAI: Deal! So, I heard you died a few years back; man, being dead sucks, am I right?!
STEFAN: It sure does.
KAI: Hey, look on the bright side, at least you werenāt stuck in hell. That place made the prison world seem like a day-spa!
STEFAN: I can imagineā¦ (awkward silence) Well, this got awkward real fastā¦ You canāt say I didnāt try.
KAI: Baby steps. For now, (holds his glass up) to new beginnings!
STEFAN: Ah, what the hell, Iāll drink to that.
Ā Cut to ā Damon and Iker hanging out in the backyard patio.
Ā IKER: Man, this is the weirdest Thanksgiving Iāve ever been at; but the best one, no doubt! Thanks for inviting me, bro.
DAMON: Of course, you are one of us now! Told you, youāre in for a crazy ride.
IKER: And Iām lovin every minute of it!
DAMON: Itās hard not to. No matter how insane it gets, itās totally worth it.
IKER: So, from what I saw, seems like your mother-in-law is a hand full.
DAMON: Oh, man, you donāt even know the half of it. Ā
IKER: Take it Bonnie and her mom arenāt on good terms?
DAMON: Well, letās just say Bonnieās mom aināt winning an award for mother of the year. She left her when she was a kid, and when they finally reunited, she left again; then again, then againā¦
IKER: I can relate.
DAMON: I hear you, brother. Although, I have to admit, out of all the times she fled, one was probably my fault. I was the one that turned her into a vampire.
IKER: TF! Are you kidding me? (Cant help but laugh at the irony)Ā
DAMON: Nop. Figure thatās one of the main reasons she hates my guts. But, ironically, she actually loves being a vampire. In a weird way, I think I did her a favor.
IKER: Doubt she sees it that way.
DAMON: Oh, she definitely doesnāt.
IKER: And how is Bonnie holding up, with her mom showing up like thatā¦
DAMON: Not great, thatās for sure; but she wonāt admit it. Iām hoping sheāll hear her out though. Not for her mom, but for herself.
IKER: Have you talked to her about it?
DAMON: Not yet, Iām waiting for the tequila to do its magic. Bonnie has a very high tolerance for alcohol.
IKER: She truly is the perfect match for you.
DAMON: No doubt. (Abby approaches them).
ABBY: Sorry to interrupt. Damon, can I talk to you for a minute?
IKER: Iāll leave you two alone. (To Damon) Iāmma get me another drink, see you inside (he leaves).
DAMON: Iām not the one you should be wanting to talk toā¦
ABBY: I know, and if Bonnie would let me near her, I would definitely not be looking to talk to you.
DAMON: Not the best conversation starter.
ABBY: Sorry, itās just that this is not going how I expected, at allā¦
DAMON: All due respect, but what did you expect?
ABBY: Well, I knew sheād be upset at first, but thought that maybe, after a drink or two, sheād finally budge.
DAMON: Budge? Seriously? Do you have any idea what Bonnie has been through the last few years?
ABBY: I knowā¦
DAMON: No, you donāt. So, donāt show up here pretending like you do.
ABBY: Damon, please, give me a chance to explain.
DAMON: You donāt have to explain anything to me. Iām not the one you hurt.
ABBY: I had no choiceā¦
DAMON: Thereās always a choice, but, again, preaching to the wrong choir. Listen, if you want my advice, all I can tell you is this; if you really care, show her how much you love her, not how much you are sorryā¦ Ā Maybe thatās a good place to start. Anyway, Iām going back inside; think about what I said (walks away).
ABBY: Damonā¦ (he turns around). Thank you for taking care of herā¦ (he nods, then keeps walking).
Ā Cut to ā The Salvatore kitchen, Edward is finishing his self-served dinner plate.
Ā CAROLINE: Iām so sorry for the mess, Mayor. I know this was not what you were expecting.
EDWARD: Please, Caroline, call me Edward. And, this is absolutely perfect, just what I needed. Thank you for having me.
CAROLINE: Any time!
EDWARD: And, itās not that I am not enjoying myself, but I will be needing to leave soon. I have a midnight mass to attend to.
CAROLINE: I thought they only held midnight mass on New Yearāsā¦
EDWARD: They do, this is more like a personal favor. Thanksgiving was my motherās favorite holiday. After she passed, I made it a tradition to hold a mass in her honor.
CAROLINE: Thatās beautiful. I didnāt know you were a religious man.
EDWARD: Well, not really, more like a WASP (he smirks; takes his plate to the sink).
CAROLINE: Oh, please, just leave it. Weāll deal with the mess later.
EDWARD: Are you sure? I can clean a plateā¦
CAROLINE: Iām sure, thank you.
EDWARD: Okay, well, Iām going to join Matt for a bit, before I head out. Thank you again, this really has been lovely (walks out, as Kai makes his way in. He sneaks behind Caroline as she is clearing Edwardās plate).
KAI: (Teasing) Hello, Clariceā¦
CAROLINE: (Jumps in a scare) Holy shit, Kai, you scared the hell out of me! And, uhm, hello, Clarice?! No, no, no, not funny! Whatās wrong with you!?
KAI: Oh, come on, itās a little funny. But, joking aside, I want to apologize for everything I put you, Alaric, and the girls through. Iāll spend the rest of my life making it up to you.
CAROLINE: There is no way you can ever make up for what you did. Just hope that maybe, someday, we will be able to be in the same room as you, without wanting to drive a butcher knife through your heart.
KAI: And I will be forever grateful if that moment ever comesā¦ For now, just know that I am truly remorseful, and that I will fight like hell to prove it to you.
CAROLINE: Well, it doesnāt hurt to tryā¦
KAI: Baby stepsā¦. Anyway, just wanted you to hear that. Want some help cleaning the plates?
CAROLINE: No, itās fine, Iām not even going to attempt it. (Points to the food) Help yourself (she leaves, soon after Bonnie walks in).
KAI: Hey, Bonster, want some turkey?
BONNIE: Iām good, thanks.
KAI: How you holding up?
BONNIE: I should be the one asking you that.
KAI: My mother wasnāt the one to show up out of the blue, thank god.
BONNIE: Oh, thatā¦ Iām cool.
KAI: I donāt think you are.
BONNIE: Kai, itās one thing to try to give you an opportunity, itās a whole other ballgame to talk to you about my personal life.
KAI: I understand, just know that Iām here for you.
BONNIE: Thank youā¦
KAI: What about some apple pie?!
BONNIE: Ah, what the heck, why not. (He serves her a slice; she takes a bite) Mm, itās goodā¦
KAI: (takes a bite and almost immediately spits it out) Yeah, if you have horrible taste! Which, judging from Damon and this pie, you obviously do.
BONNIE: (Canāt help but laugh a bit) Shut up.
KAI: (Smirks) Just saying, thereās a pattern thereā¦
Ā Cut to ā the backyard patio. Abby is lying on the grass looking at the stars; Klaus joins her.
Ā KLAUS: Magnificent, isnāt it?
ABBY: It sure isā¦ Reminds me of her; so beautiful.
KLAUS: We knew it wasnāt going to be simple.
ABBY: She canāt even stand being in the same room as me, how am I supposed to get her to talk to me.
KLAUS: A couple of things come to mind, but that would be unethical, to say the least. Donāt give up, love; itās like that Laya song you like to play, if at first you donāt succeed, dust yourself off and try againā¦
ABBY: (Laughs) Itās Aaliyah; but you have a point. Giving up way too fast has always been my worse flaw.
KLAUS: Our flaws are what make us interesting. And, although we might not be able to change who we are, we can try to do right by the people we love. But these things take timeā¦ and I know how important this is for you. If it is what you want, we can move back here for a while, or for however long it takesā¦
ABBY: You would do that? You love New Orleansā¦
KLAUS: Not as much as I love you (kisses her).
ABBY: Thank you for being here for me, for understanding.
KLAUS: Love, you have shown me a side of myself I never knew I could possibly be. I am with you, Abby Bennett, through thick and thin.
ABBY: As am I, Klaus Mikaelson (they kiss). Not to cut this moment short, but I think we should head out now.
KLAUS: Do you want to go inside, say thank you and goodbye?
ABBY: I think Iāve caused enough distress for one night. Letās leave the thank yousā and goodbyesā for a better time.
KLAUS: Well, we can always send them a thank you card tomorrow.
ABBY: I donāt think people do that anymore, but we are not normal people, so, a thank you card it is. Okay, letās go then, we got some packing to do.
Ā Cut to ā the Salvatore living room. Matt, Khuyana, Edward, Danae, Margo and Sergei have called it a night. Damon, Bonnie and Iker are giving it their best shot at the karaoke machine. Caroline, Stefan, Tyler and Lexi are talking and having some good laughs. Kai and Katherine are having a drinking competition.
Ā TYLER: Gotta say, this night, as crazy as it has been, turned out to be the best Friendsgiving ever.
LEXI: I second that! Totally unconventional, you two really pulled it off.
CAROLINE: Oh, I stopped trying the second our bird came out looking like a desiccated tomb stone.
STEFAN: I threw the towel once Kai took ownership of the mic (they laugh).
TYLER: Who would have ever thought we would be hanging out with these people?
STEFAN: Who would have ever thought us three would come back to lifeā¦
CAROLINE: Well, thatās Mystic Falls in a nutshell, beats the shit out of Wonderland.
LEXI: Except, the creatures seem to be cuter down the rabbit whole.
CAROLINE: Donāt know about that, but they definitely make more sense than we doā¦ (They continue to laugh).
BONNIE: My turn to choose the song, letās see whatās on the menuā¦. Ooh, perfect! Ready?! (Smirks, and plays Will Smithās Men in Black. As soon as the song comes on, Kai vamp speeds to join them. Not even a minute later, the rest are dancing along. They nail the choreography; Kai hitting the high notes in full queen Whitney mode).
Ā The gang continues to have a weirdly fun, and happy Friendsgiving time.
Ā Cut to ā the underground facility, luxury ballroom.
Ā AUGUSTUS: Ah, the infamous Veritas Dracul. I have been expecting you, since an hour ago. You are late.
VERITAS: Do pardon our tardiness, we had some matters to attend.
AUGUSTUS: Lucinda, I take it? (Kisses her hand) Lovely to finally meet you.
LUCINDA: Lovely to meet you twoā¦ Iām sorry, but who are you?
AUGUSTUS: (Smirks) An old friend of Veritas. I take it he never mentioned me. Iām hurt.
VERITAS: Nothing personal, my friend. I just find it exhausting trying to explain the complexity of our relationship. But now that you have been introduced; let us move along. I have something for you (hands him a black box); a gift from our dear friend, Pietro.
AUGUSTUS: (Grins) Iām sure Iāll love it. And, as promised, I have something for you tooā¦ (hands him a cleric box). Straight from the Fellās church altar. Trust me, that was not easy to get. You owe me one.
VERITAS: I reckon it wasnāt, but I knew you would deliver. So, I made good on my promise as wellā¦ (someone walks in).
DARIUS: Hello, old friendsā¦

Cut to ā A beautiful beach resort in Mexicoās Mayan Riviera. Bonnie, Damon, Caroline, and Stefan are checking in.
RECEPTION LADY: Welcome to Akumal, Mexico; the best kept Caribbean secret! (They hand them some welcome cocktails).
BONNIE: (Amazed with the tropical beauty) This place is paradiseā¦
DAMON: (Takes a sip of his cocktail, wraps his arm around Bonnie) Me, you, and this beautiful beach, definitely paradise (kisses her).
CAROLINE: (Looking at a brochure) Bonnie, look, they have yoga on the beach, every day at 7am; Iām signing us up! And they also have a spa, we totally need some massages, how do hot stones at five sound?
DAMON: Slow down, Care Bear, no need for an itinerary; thatās the whole idea of a vacation.
BONNIE: Yes, Care, forget about time! We are free to do what we want, when we want; no plans required, thatās the beauty of it.
CAROLINE: You are rightā¦ Iām putting control freak Caroline on pause; no need to panic if thereās no scheduleā¦ right? (They laugh at Carolineās struggle to let go) Iām just gonna let careless Caroline take over from now onā¦ Oh! They have meditation at sundown! (Bonnie takes the brochure from her hands) Pause, Iām pausing!
STEFAN: (Who has been looking at a brochure as well) Ooh, they have a libraryā¦
DAMON: (Takes the brochure from his hands) Are you freakin kidding me?!
STEFAN: Okay, okayā¦ pause on the bookworm play on the chill.
BELLBOY: Let me show you to your rooms.
Cut to ā Mystic Falls, the Mayorās house. Edward is lying on his bed, staring at the ceiling. Anthony knocks.
Ā EDWARD: Come in.
ANTHONY: Sir, I brought you some tea (gives him a cup).
EDWARD: Thank you (takes a sip). You always know exactly what I need.
ANTHONY: If I may say, Sir, Iām concerned. You havenāt left your room in days.
EDWARD: Just meditating, is all.
ANTHONY: Oh, really? So this has nothing to do with the unexpected visitor staying at your guest house?
EDWARD:Ā Iām surprised he didnāt demand to be given my master bedroom. After all, it is his houseā¦
ANTHONY: He might have paid for it, but it is your home, not his. I know this must be very difficult, having to see him again, let along having him under the same roof.
EDWARD: Well, I donāt even remember the last time he was around, so itās basically like bedding a stranger.
ANTHONY: Sir, you know I donāt like to intrude in your business matters, just promise me you will be careful.
EDWARD: I will, but there is no need to worry, Anthony, I have this under control.
ANTHONY: With all due respect, Sir, you lost that control the moment you allowed him to walk through the door.
EDWARD: I appreciate your concern, but trust me, I know what Iām doing.
ANTHONY: If you say soā¦ Well, Iāll leave you to your thoughts now; good night, Sir.
EDWARD: Good night, Anthony.
Cut to ā The Salvatore School. Alaric is showing Tyler and Lexi around.
Ā ALARIC: So, what do you guys say?
LEXI: Never thought of myself as a teacher, but I think it could be fun, Iām in!
TYLER: Me too. Might not be the best role model, but letās be honest, who is?
ALARIC: Great, welcome to the faculty! (Katherine walks by).
KATHERINE: So, Ric, are these my new colleagues?
LEXI: Are you kidding me?! (Looks at Alaric) Alaric?
ALARIC: Please donāt judge me, she can be very persuasive. Plus, she does have some cool tricks to teachā¦
TYLER: Does Caroline know?
ALARIC: Not yet.
TYLER: Sheās gonna kill you.
ALARIC: Iām hoping her vacation time will ease the news.
LEXI: Oh, it totally wonāt! Good luck with that.
KATHERINE: Well, Iām late for my class, and those little brats are a recipe for disaster. See you at the teacherās lounge (winks and walks away).
Cut back to ā Akumal, Mexico. Damon and Bonnieās hotel room. Bonnie comes out of the bathroom, changed into beach attire.
DAMON: (Completely taken with her beauty) Godā¦ you are so beautiful (they kiss; things start to heat up. Bonnie takes his shirt off, he takes her beach dress off; they move on to the bed. He unties her bikini strapā¦ someone knocks).
CAROLINE: (Standing outside the door) Hey, guys, you ready?! Letās hit the beach!
DAMON: Oh, you have got to be kidding me! Does she not get what pause means??!!
CAROLINE: (Knocks again) Guys!! Are you there? Stefan is waiting for us, come on!
DAMON: (Shouts) Timing, Barbie, timing!!!
CAROLINE: What?! (Pauses for a bit, then it hits her) Oh, ohā¦ yes, pause, Iām on pause; sorry!!! Take your time, weāll meet you down there!
BONNIE: (Laughs, kisses him) Tell you what, why donāt we go down, enjoy the beach while thereās still daylight. Weāll bring this cliffhanger to its resolution when the timing is right. (Kisses him again, ties her bikini strap, gets up, puts her beach dress back on).
DAMON: (Gets up, puts his shirt on and grabs her hand, as they are walking outā¦) Maybe we should have told her to push the off buttonā¦ (she smirks, they leave the room).
Cut to ā A dorm room at the University of Munich. Elena and Sam are unpacking.
Ā SAM: (Takes a little black box out of one of Elenaās boxes) Whatās this?
ELENA: (Takes the box, doesnāt seem to know what it is, or why itās even there) I have no idea, I didnāt pack it, did you?
SAM: No; thatās weirdā¦ maybe itās another gift from your friends?
ELENA: I donāt think soā¦ (opens the box, inside is some sort of formula with a note that reads: No matter where you are, your past will always follow youā¦) What the hell?
SAM: Let me see (looks closely at the test tube); looks like some sort of formula? How did it get passed airport security?Ā
ELENA: I donāt even want to know.
SAM:Ā We can test it out at the university lab, find out what it is.
ELENA:Ā No, just throw it out. I moved here to get away from the insanity, Iām not about to open Pandoraās box.
SAM: Are you sure? It looks like it might be importantā¦
ELENA: Iām sure.
SAM: (Puts the formula and note back in the black box) Iāll take care of it. So, there is an alumni cocktail tonight, want to go? I think it would be good so we can start to integrate...
ELENA: Iām still a bit jet-lagged, but I think I can handle a drink or two. Ā
SAM: Thatās my girl (kisses her; they start to make out).
Cut to ā Akumal, Mexico. Stefan and Caroline are lying on the beach. Damon and Bonnie join them.
Ā CAROLINE: Well, that was fast!
DAMON: Blondie, I swear...
STEFAN: Whatās going on?
DAMON: Little āMiss Pauseā here, wonāt stop pushing play.
STEFAN: What?
BONNIE: Just forget it; letās enjoy! I mean, look at this place, itās gorgeous! Iām going for a swim.
DAMON: Iām coming with (grabs her hand; they head to the ocean).
STEFAN: They look so happy together...
CAROLINE: They really do, and I really need to stop with the bad timing!
STEFAN: Again?
CAROLINE: Yep. Thought inappropriate timing was a Sagittarius thing, guess itās a Libra thing too.
STEFAN: (Laughs, then kisses her). Iām sure theyāll find the right moment. Just between us, this is the first time Damon has taken it slow; I think he might be nervous.
CAROLINE: Nervous?! Come on, this is Damon we are talking about.
STEFAN: Yes, but he has never felt like this about anyoneā¦ probably freaks him out a little bit; doesnāt want to screw it up.
CAROLINE: Thatās trueā¦ Ā
STEFAN: Listen, sorry to change the subject but, about that thing we talked about, you never gave me an answer.
CAROLINE: Iām sorryā¦ still processing. Itās a life-changing decision; give me some time to clear my head on it?
STEFAN: Of courseā¦ take as much time as you need. And, whatever you decide, Iām with you. Ā (They cuddle and enjoy the view; sometime later, Bonnie and Damon come back from their swim).
BONNIE: (A she is drying herself) The water is delicious! You guys should definitely take a dip!
CAROLINE: Bon, when have you ever seen me swim in the ocean?
BONNIE: Oh, thatās rightā¦ (teasing) your irrational fear of āthe sea monstersā.
CAROLINE: Who knows what crazy things live down there?! Plus, sharksā¦
DAMON: Sharks, really, Blondie? They're harmless! They are more afraid of us than we are of them, and with good reason.
CAROLINE: Have you seen Jaws? ā¦ Uhm, no thanks! Iām perfectly fine right here; enjoying the beautiful view, margarita in one hand, Stefanās hand in the otherā¦ perfection!
BONNIE: Come on, Care, dare to do something you never have. What happened to pausing the control freak? Let loose!
CAROLINE: Iām loose, I swear! Just not that looseā¦ (they laugh; Damon and Bonnie lie down with them to enjoy the view. After a few minutes of contemplation, Caroline breaks the silence). Ahhhā¦ This is exactly what we needed.
BONNIE: Preach!
STEFAN: (Looking at a boat that is cruising by) We should totally do that boat trip...
DAMON: One thing at a time, bro. For nowā¦ (grabs some beers from the cooler, hands one to them) Enjoyā¦ (winks, then puts Bob Marleyās āDonāt worry be happyā on his phone. Lights up a doobie, takes a drag, and passes it around).
BONNIE: (Takes a hit, then passes to Caroline) How is this for letting looseā¦
CAROLINE: (Takes a drag; lets the smoke outā¦) My kind of pause button. (Smiles, passes it to Stefan).
STEFAN: (Takes a hit) I never did this as a humanā¦ wonder if it hits you different than when you are a vampire?
BONNIE: (She and Caroline laugh) Oh, Stefan, youāre in for quite a rideā¦
Ā Cut to ā The Mayorās house. Edward is still in his room. The Madame comes in.
THE MADAME: Darling, you canāt hide in here foreverā¦
EDWARD: Iām not hiding, Iām thinking.
THE MADAME: About?
EDWARD: My mother, thanks to you.
THE MADAME: Iām sorry I had to do that but we really need his help if we want to get this done.
EDWARD: Iāve always known you were cruel, but you took it way too far this time.
THE MADAME: It was the only way I could get you to call him.
EDWARD: That is true, but still, cruel.
THE MADAME: Forgive me, love, itās in our best interest to have him on our side.
EDWARD: I knowā¦ just canāt stand the sight of him.
THE MADAME: Why donāt you try to give him a chance, he might not be so badā¦
EDWARD: Heās responsible for my motherās death, both of them. Granted I never knew my biological mother; it was a miracle I even survived, butā¦ a killer clown, really?... Sick bastard. And, as if that wasnāt enough, he ended up driving the woman he had killed the first one for, completely insane, to the point of suicide. How is that, not so bad?!
THE MADAME: Listen, heās not my cup of tea either, but he didnāt do the things you accuse him of, I promise. If he had, I would have killed him a long time ago.
EDWARD: I thought you were on my side; how can you believe all his lies?
THE MADAME: Iām not on his side, and I donāt believe a word that comes out of his mouth. The only reason I know he is not responsible for those things is because I can read minds. Had your āfriendā Donovan not given up the devices and activated unit 1, I wouldnāt have made you call him; but you and I know, if anyone can help us fix this little mess, itās him. Iāve lived for hundreds of years, and have been part of the order for the majority of them, Iām not about to give up everything I have fought for.
EDWARD: Neither am I, that is the only reason I agreed to thisā¦ but we have to be careful, he is definitely not doing this out of the goodness of his heart, we have something he wants, and heāll do whatever it takes to get it.
THE MADAME: As long as you and I are on the same page, weāll have control, and heāll have no choice but to comply.
EDWARD: Letās hope he does; he can be quite sneaky.
THE MADAME: So can we (smirks). For now, keep Donovan away for as long as you can; once he comes back, everything will be set in motion.
EDWARD: Weāll need to move fast, not sure how long heāll stand his time outā¦
Cut to ā Akumal, Mexico. Bonnie, Damon, Stefan, and Caroline are on a boat. Stefan is standing at the edge of the boat, facing the open ocean. They are all quite stoned, even Caroline and Damon, who you would think wouldnāt be given that they are vampires, or even Bonnie, having all that source power, but apparently, they were given some pretty heavy stuff.
Ā STEFAN: Waitā¦ how did we get on a boat?
CAROLINE: (Barely able to talk from the laughter) I think we stole itā¦
STEFAN: Shit! Oh, wellā¦ Iām the king of the world!! (Grabs her hand and takes her up on the edge with him). Look at this viewā¦ (after a few seconds, he starts singing Celine Dionās āMy heart will go onā, completely off-tune).
BONNIE: (Who is lying on the floor deck with Damon, looking up at the sky) Iām telling you, look at itā¦ itās totally baby Yodaā¦ and itās speaking to usā¦listen.
DAMON: Listening, I am, and says heā¦ stay for some soup you mustā¦
BONNIE: Ooh, soup! I love soupā¦ French onion with melted cheese on topā¦ What genius came up with that? (Pauses for a sec) Wait, what were we talking about?
DAMON: I have no ideaā¦ (they crack up).
STEFAN: (Still on the boat edge) You jump, I jumpā¦
CAROLINE: (Turns to look at his eyes) Never let go, Jack, never let goā¦Ā
STEFAN: I love you,Ā Rose. (Kisses her, grabs her hand; they jump in the water).
BONNIE: Did they just jump in the water?
DAMON: I think they didā¦ (they get up, see them in the water)
BONNIE: Care! You did it!
CAROLINE: (Realizing she is swimming in the ocean for the first time). Oh, my god!!! I did!!! (As she is blissfully swimming around) Itās so wonderful!!! You guys should join!!
BONNIE: (Gets real serious...) Oh my god guys, donāt move...
CAROLINE: (Looking scared as hell) What is it?...
BONNIE:Ā Care, donāt move... itās behind you... (Caroline is paralyzed, on guard).
CAROLINE: (Looking terrified) Bonnie... is it a sh...
BONNIE: (Interrupts her ) Shhhh... (Bonnie uses her telekinetic powers to play the intro ofĀ āBaby Sharkā on her phone, then starts dancing the choreography, Damon joins along; they are cracking up).
CAROLINE: Bonnie, you scared the hell out of me! (Canāt help but laugh at the prank).Ā
DAMON: (Laughing his ass off) Good one, Bon! (They high five)Ā Sorry, Blondie, you owed us!Ā
CAROLINE: Fair enough... weāll call it even. Now, come join,Ā the water is perfect!
DAMON: Bon Bon, what do you say?
BONNIE:Ā You had me at Bon Bon... (They smirk; Damon grabs her hand and they jump in. They swim and laugh for a while, then go back on the boat). Soā¦ who drove the boat?
STEFAN: Uhm, I think I didā¦ not sure how.
CAROLINE: Can you drive it back?
STEFAN: Iāll give it a tryā¦ but whatās the rush; I say we stay for a while, watch the sundownā¦ (they sit on the boat deck, open a bottle of bourbon, eat some munchies, talk, and laugh).
CAROLINE: (To Damon, referring to the weed) TSo, Damon, that was some powerful stuff, where did you get it from?
DAMON: Bellboy hooked me upā¦called it the Mayan āDuendeā? ā¦
STEFAN: Well, I hope you saved someā¦ totally want to do that again, but I think inland is the way to go next time. (They watch the sunset, then head back; Stefan manages to return the boat, and everyone on board, safe and sound).
Ā Cut to - Matt and Khuyana having a picnic at a beautiful park in Lima, Peru.
Ā MATT: I missed thisā¦
KHUYANA: Me too (kisses him).
MATT: Iām so sorry for everything that has happened... Iām thinking that moving back was a mistake.
KHUYANA: Itās not your fault Matt, and it wasnāt a mistake. You love your home, and, despite it all, I love it too. Mystic Falls is where we belong.
MATT: But we were happier here.
KHUYANA: Were we? I think you are forgetting just how much we struggled, not to mention my government tried to make me disappear. Iām more afraid of humanitiesā dark side than I am of the supernatural; at least with them, you get a fair warning.
MATT: You make a good pointā¦but still, Iā¦ Iā¦
KHUYANA: Mi amor, itās okay, we are going to be fine. Itās over now, so letās enjoy our time off and go back home when the time comes (kisses him). Whatever comes our way, we will get through it.
MATT: If I could marry you again, I would. You are the best thing that has ever happened to me, thank you for being part of my life.
KHUYANA: And thank you for being part of mine. Now, how about some pisco and yuquitas?
MATT: Best vacation everā¦ (kisses her).
Ā Cut to ā Akumal, Mexico. Late at night. Damon and Bonnie are lying on the beach, in a very secluded spot, looking at the sky.
DAMON: I could do this foreverā¦
BONNIE: Me too.
DAMON: (Turns his head towards her, looks deep into her eyes, and kisses her gently) I love you, Bonā¦ like I never knew I could loveā¦
BONNIE: And I love you; like I never did love ā¦ (She kisses him, more passionately than gently, kneels on top of him, and unbuttons his shirt as he pulls her dress off. She unbuckles his shorts, he unhooks her bra, throws it to the ground. He slowly slides her panties down andā¦ at lastĀ =). Inside her, Damon can't help but be locked into those hypnotic eyes, his breath so heavy and unstable... the overwhelming beauty and the feeling of absolute ecstasy invade every cell in his body... if ever he'd known what pure love was, this was the moment. They make love, multiple times, through the entire night until they fall asleep, holding each other so tight, body to body, until sunrise.
TVD 9x09 (part 1) coming next! Hope you stop by, read, and enjoy! =)
