Previously on
"the vampire diaries"...

Damon, voice-over:
She has elena.

And I'm the only one
who knows where she is.

Oscar's been gone
days running
your errands.

-While we're stuck here.
-Starving ourselves,

Pretending like
we're not

The strongest people
on the planet.

I don't want to
be a part of
lily's cavalry.

I just want
to have fun.

You will not lay a hand

On another member
of my family.

Damon: Give me elena,
you'll get your son back.

Med tech: Once you bury
the body,

The grieving process
begins.

Well, I'm not planning
on burying her.

The phoenix stone
brings people back
from the dead.

-Tell me you'll try.
-I'll try.

What was the deal
with you and stefan?

I was the first
love of stefan's life.

You put that spell on me
so stefan couldn't touch me.

It's like your skin
is vervain.

Stefan,
meet julian.

Julian was the man
you are not supposed
to fall for.

Does stefan salvatore
know that you are pregnant

With his child?

So have you found
julian yet?

I found him
months ago.

Julian is the devil.

I can't let lily
bring him back.

[solder sizzling]

[sizzling]

Oh, damn it!

Is it fixed yet?

Not yet, sweetheart,

And it's past
your bedtime.

Both: No!

Yes, it is.
You want to brush
your teeth?

Both: No!
Ha ha ha!

Yeah? Well, too bad.

Surgery will have to
resume tomorrow.

All right, josie.
Help your sister find

Her pjs, ok?

[girls giggling]

Girls?

[cocks gun]

Damon.

Well, aren't you
adorable?

Heh. You girls, too.

Stay behind daddy.

Why so gloomy?

Looks like you got
everything you wanted.

The fact that you're here
means somebody died.

No, not yet,

But if you don't do
exactly as I say,

That could change
real fast.

So...

You gonna invite me in?

Jeez.

You're here
at 5 a.M.

I'm gonna need the place
to myself today..

Oh, come on, man.

Don't make me an accomplice
to whatever weird stuff

You're doing with your
wife's dead body.

You have no idea how
weird it's gonna get.

[ruffling paper]

Is this enough to buy
some privacy?

I'm gonna throw in
a free reality check.

Preserved bodies still have
an expiration date,

And this is
her last day.

She doesn't have to go home,
but she can't stay here.

Mother, tell me
you have elena.

Lily: Let me speak
to oscar.

No can do.
I'm about to wake him up

From his little
vervain nap.

You do realize that
when you get her back

You're not actually
getting her back, right?

She's still in a box.

Do you think I need
to be reminded of that?

And yet you're
leveraging a member

Of my family just to get
her body closer to you.

How selfish can you be?

Spare the lecture,
mommy.

Damon, if you
have harmed oscar
in any way...

Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Say good-bye to elena.

It's not my first
hostage swap.

Oscar.

Oscar?

I can smell the blood
on you, buddy.

Huh?

You got to be kidding me.

The vaccines: ¶ oh, god,
oh, god, oh, god ¶

¶ oh, god, oh, god,
oh, god, oh, god ¶

¶ they're gonna eat me up
for breakfast ¶

¶ you think you look good
in whatever ¶

¶ they sugarcoat you with ¶

Caroline: Ahem.

I didn't want to
wake you.

Well, I would lose
more sleep

If you just snuck out
without saying hi.

Hi!

Oh, I missed this.

Am I gonna catch fire?

No! I just can't
touch vampires.

Valerie basically
turned my skin
into vervain.

I'll work on unraveling
the spell when I can.

Stop. We have
so much to catch up on.

Let's just go shopping
for Halloween costumes,

And we can worry
about magic later.

Well, I'm kind of already
worrying about magic today.

Alaric thinks we can
reunite jo's spirit

With her body by using
some sketchy

Native american
resurrection stone.

My job is to crush
his dreams

In the most
gentle way possible.

Wow.

Ok. You don't even
think it will work?

I don't think it
should.

The other side is gone.

There's no more
gemini prison world,

Which means that jo's
spirit is

Probably at peace.

Our lives are weird.

Tell me about it.

How the hell did you
let this happen?

Don't even think
about blaming this on me.

I'm not the one that
unscrewed his heart.

No. You're just the one
who chased him down,

Kidnapped him,
and are still

Technically holding
him hostage.

To get elena back.

And how's that working
out for you?

Because from where
I'm standing,

She's in more danger
than ever

Because you won't
let her rest.

You spend one day
with mommy dearest,

And now you're
on her side?

I don't have to be
on her side

To see what's
happening here.

You can't be
with elena,

So you're making all
these bad decisions

About elena.

We need to get rid
of this body.

No, no, no. You need
to get rid of this body.

Ugh.

Breakkie. What
are we having?

Mushroom omelettes.

Hey! They're for oscar,
not you.

He's coming home today.

I'm impressed,
especially considering

How late you
got home last night.

Where's oscar?

I don't know.
Damon never
showed up.

I suppose I've
taken the notion

Of trust for
granted lately.

Lorenzo, would you
mind terribly

If I had a moment
alone with valerie.

Is something wrong?

Just some
family business.

I spent yesterday
with stefan,

Learned all about
your little tryst

In 1863.

We were children.
It was...

It was puppy love.

It meant nothing.

Hmm. Right.

That explains why
you held onto his
journal all these years.

You were fragile
at the time.

I didn't want to
upset you.

You told him you
were coming back
for him,

And he believed you.

Why put him
through that?

I was a foolish human
back then.

I'm sorry.

I will only say
this once.

If you have anything
to tell me,

Anything at all,

Now is the time.

I have nothing
to hide.

I should go look
for oscar.

That won't be necessary.

Nora: God, it feels
good to come out
of that deserted town

And be around living,
breathing people we can eat.

Mystic falls is
the prison world
all over again.

We're
on a mission, nora,

Not a vacation.

Damon: All right.

[knock on door]

Mary louise: Damon?
I know you're here.

Open up.

Damon, open the--

Hello.

Oh. Hello.

Mary louise:
University housing.

How lovely.

How sad.

Not as sad as being
exiled here

By your own mother.

Lily must have had
the wrong address

For the hostage
exchange.

Where's oscar?

You just missed him.

You reek of blood.

Well, I've been--
I've been binging.

Stefan: And I've been
judging.

Yeah.

Not gonna find
him in there.

Ohh.

Look. I get it. Ok.
You got me.

Oscar turned
the tables,

And he
knocked me out,

And he took off.

I lost my one
and only bargaining chip.

Then why isn't oscar
answering his phone?

Maybe the guy doesn't
want to be found.

Why don't I
believe you?

Mary louise:
Well, this is pointless.

Come, nora.

I'll throw that
away for you.

Screw it. Let's just
get this guy to the furnace.

Uh, wrong door,
darling.

Hmm.

Ok.

"a message from
miss nora hildegard,

"dictated but not read.

"for every hour
that oscar isn't returned,

"a whitmore student
will die,

Starting now."

[gagging]

No.

Man: With dozens
of disappearances

And a history
of animal attacks,

Mystic falls was the subject
of supernatural speculation

Even before the quote unquote
"mining fire evacuation."

[siren]

[police radio chatter]

We're not doing
anything illegal,
officer.

Besides violating
a town-wide quarantine

And putting these people's
lives at risk

To make a quick buck?

Pack it up and get
out of here.

We both know there's
no real danger here.

It's just
an empty ghost town.

Enzo: Really?

You hear about the noises
in the old boarding house?

The mysterious figure
haunting the clock tower?

Tell your ghostbusters
to charge up their
proton packs.

They've hit
the proverbial jackpot.

Get out of here unless you
want your license suspended.

Now.

Tour guide: Come on.
Let's go.

If you touch any
of these people,

I will shoot you
right here.

Don't waste
the ammunition, mate.

Waste of taxpayer
money,

And I am one of your
last taxpayers.

What do you
want, enzo?

Oh, god. Just
a good night's rest,

Which is proving
difficult lately

With all the late
night sneaking

In and out of
the salvatore house.

Vamp hearing's
bad enough,

But once
the heretics
start creeping,

That's when I
really lose sleep.

There's an abandoned
music shop down the way.

I'll let you steal
a tiny fiddle.

Or you could
grant me access

To the town
surveillance cameras.

Have a heretic to track.

-Hi.
-Hi.

Brought you coffee.

Oh, and he keeps
getting better.

Sorry!

Ah. It's ok.
No contact.

It's not your fault.

I take it your charm
didn't work

On getting valerie
to undo the spell.

Uh, I haven't spoken
to her yet.

Oh.

So you're avoiding?

No. There's
nothing to avoid.

Well, stefan, she was
your first love,

And then she just
left you hanging.

You're not the least bit
curious why?

She hasn't contacted me
in the 4 months
she's been back,

So I'm assuming
she's as over it
as I am.

Yeah, but that is
quite an assumption

Considering that she's
the reason why

I literally
can't touch you.

Unfortunately, she's
the heretic

That I am the least
concerned about
right now.

Oh, god. Who now?

Let's just say that
it involves

Two bored mean girls
on a campus full
of easy targets,

But fortunately,
I have come up

With a genius plan
to keep them occupied

While damon sorts out
his oscar problem.

-The dance.
-Mm-hmm.

Full of potential
victims.

And distractions
all in one place.

Easy to baby-sit.

I think the hardest
part will be

Feigning enthusiasm.

Yeah. They'll
never fall for it.

Unless they think
it's their idea.

[parquet courts' "these boots
are made for walkin'" playing]

Nora: I'm getting
hungry.

Is it death o'clock
yet?

We still have 13 minutes.

What's this?

Oh, nothing.
It's just some

Silly
heaven and hell ball.

Stefan invited me,
but I don't know.

These days, Halloween
just seems like an excuse

To get drunk
and show skin.

Sorry. No heretics allowed.

Halloween's only for people
who dress up as psychopaths.

As if we'd want to
drink cheap beer
out of plastic

And then brag about it
all over the internet.

As if you'd even know
how to do that.

We're going.

To a college party?

Oh, ok.

Ok. Good luck with that.

What's that
supposed to mean?

Nothing. No. You two
will fit in just fine.

Seriously, you guys have
nothing to feel

Self-conscious about.

Did I say
you could leave?

¶ lyin' when you ought
to be truthin' ¶

¶ and you keep losin'... ¶

What do you want?

¶ when you ought
to not bet ¶

¶ yeah, and you
keep samin'... ¶

I see you found
a dress from my closet.

Haven't been to a party
since new year's 1902.

Be honest.

Will I make
a proper modern devil?

Shouldn't be too much
of a stretch. Heh.

Unlike the hips
of that dress.

¶ gonna walk all over you ¶

Would you prefer I chose
a different one

And dyed it
with your blood?

Look.

I gave you
an outfit.

Now it's your turn.

Siphon off this
annoying

Antivampire spell.

Aw. Are you prohibited
from showing
physical affection

For your
significant other.

Try being gay in 1900.

What do you care
about some silly spell?

You don't even
like valerie.

You're right.
I don't.

I've had to endure
two lifetimes

With that
conniving shrew,

And I've learned that
when it comes to val

You don't get
on her bad side.

Not happening, stefan.

Look. If I siphon
caroline's spell,
valerie will find out,

And she'll retaliate
with something much worse.

The girl is
a rancid bitch.

That's not the valerie
that I knew.

Well, I used to be
a sickly, abused,
little urchin

Cast out by my coven,

And then I met
mary louise.

Love changes people.

I mean, maybe valerie's
obsession with you

Is the reason why she's
a walking funeral dirge.

Mary louise: ¶ oh, nora ¶

Well?

Hmm. Not bad.

Not bad is not good.

No, you look nice.
It's just...

Kind of plain,

But I can sex it up
for you.

I'm comfortable
like this, nora.
Don't.

Stop it!

Oh, come on.
You're supposed to
be a devil.

You want a devil?

Mary louise:
It's 15 minutes
past the hour.

Distraction period
over.

Mary lou.

Wait!

Well, what better way
to spend Halloween, huh?

Well, why would
I want to go to some

Stupid Halloween party
like a normal student,

Maybe meet a nice guy
or not so nice guy,

Have a fun, drunk
Halloween hookup

When I can be here,

Struggling to raise
the dead?

Well, if it makes
any difference,

This is worth some
serious extra credit.

Oh, you think?

Whether or not
I'm capable,

You're lucky
I'm willing,

And the visions
from that stone scare
the hell out of me,

So don't...

Rush me.

Well, that's too bad

Because we got to bring
this guy back to life.

Now.

[mene's "brand new" playing]

¶ how does everything
start and end? ¶

¶ come gather now
and lay this beast to rest ¶

¶ I kept hearing trumpets,
got my hearing checked ¶

¶ my father spoke
of prophecy... ¶

Nice costume
for two hours' notice.

Oh, thank you.

You weren't, oh,
I don't know,

Already coming to this
and just, uh,

Forgot to invite me?

I didn't forget
to invite you.

I just felt like
a Halloween party

Wasn't great
first date material.

So then this isn't
our first date?

Well, it depends.

What do you think
it is?

Torture.

Stefan:
Oh, they're here.

Guess it's time for us
to baby-sit.

¶ I want to invade
my thoughts ¶

¶ I want to die in kyoto ¶

Bartender: Hi, girls.
What can I get you?

A bijou for me
and a crème yvette

For my little
flower here.

I'm sorry. I have
no idea what that is.

A gin martini
and a sex
on the beach.

Gotcha.

So let me guess.

Old-fashioned devil

And slutty angel.

I love it.

Beg your pardon?

Thanks. It's culled
together

With stuff I found
on pinterest.

Oh, my god. Pinterest.
I love pinterest.

Get half my recipes
from it.

I'm obsessed.

Obsessed.

[both laugh]

Bonnie: Phesmatos exaud mi,
conjug spiritis et corpe.

Phesmatos exaud mi,

Conjug spiritis et corpe.

Scratch that one
off the list.

[damon groans]

Hey! You're not the only
one banking on this.

It's not for me, ric.

Why does everything have
to be about me today?

Will both of you
just shut up?

The stone works.

I think it's
creating a bridge

Between the body
and the spirit.

I just have to find
a spell

That makes that
bridge permanent.

[cell phone vibrates]

So how goes
the diversion?

3. That's the number
of people caroline
and I have saved...

Barely.

So did you call
just to brag?

How much longer?

Bonnie: Oh, crap!
Ric, put it out!

Think we're close.

Ahh. There's
the mopey face

I've come to know
and love.

I guess all it takes
is a scolding from lily

To ruin breakfast.

We have an ice box
full of blood
downstairs, you know.

Yeah, but sometimes,
it's nice to get out
of the house,

Take a drive,

Get out of town,
come back.

Wouldn't you agree?

Clearly I'm not
as quick

As the other orphans
in the workhouse.

Are you accusing me
of something?

Town surveillance has
you on the road

To and from whitmore
last night in a stolen car.

Curious how oscar was
also at whitmore last night

And has since
mysteriously disappeared,

So--heh--yes, I am
accusing you of something.

I'm just not sure
whether it's lying
to lily or murder

Or both.

Forget everything
you think you know

Because you are
wrong in ways

You cannot
even imagine.

Enlighten me.

What exactly
don't I know?

Heh. Well, maybe it's
easier if I just ask lily,

And I'm sure she'll be
eager to uncover the truth

And punish you for it.

I killed oscar.

He knew too much.

I had to prevent him
from bringing

A monster back
into lily's life.

What monster is that?

Julian.

You don't know.

I guess lily doesn't
tell you everything.

Who's julian, valerie?

Someone you'll want to keep
as far away as possible,

Assuming that one day
you want lily to love you

In the same way
that you love her.

[dance music playing]

Stefan: Do you think
they forgot

They came here
to murder people?

Oh, no. They're just
wrapped up in their
own drama.

See, nora wants
some breathing room,

But mary louise is
scared if she gives
it to her

Then nora's
gonna leave her.

You got all that
from that?

Well, it's obvious.

[slow song playing]

Or not.

You know, I'd ask
you to dance, but--

But I'd kill you.

How convenient.

If only there was
a person that you could

Talk to about it.

I will ask valerie
to undo it

Once damon brings
oscar back to life.

Wow. So you're not
technically avoiding.

You're just waiting for
damon to raise the dead.

Ok.

Caroline, valerie's
been dead to me

For 150 years.

Well, she's
back now,

And you're scared
that you're gonna
look her in the eye

And all of your
feelings are gonna
come back,

You know,
the infatuation

And the abandonment
and the whole
freaking fairytale.

That's what I'm
scared of,

Or that's what
you're scared of?

It can be both.

God. You know what?
I'm just too sober

To be talking
about this.

Nora...

Where did you go?

I'm just tipsy enough
to enjoy this music.

Have a taste.

She's been sneaking
tequila,

So she's a little spicy.

Heh.

[bones crack]

What the hell?!

Oh, don't act
so shocked.

Oh, don't pretend
that was anything

Other than
petty jealousy.

This trashy girl
wouldn't mean

A damn thing to you
if you weren't

So desperate
for attention!

Attention? How could
I possibly want attention

When you've been perched
on my shoulder

For the last 120 years?

Oh! Am I ruining
your fun?

"stay close, nora.
Slow down, nora."

As if it's still
the bloody 19th century

And I need
your protection!

I'm not the one struggling
to adapt, mary lou.

You are!

Very well.

Do whatever
you want.

I'm going to
finish what we
came here to do.

Bonnie: Ababbas dagoinet
mateesah elunatan.

Oshawas melunaweh
washaset zagoedan.

Well, which one
was that?

It's something I found
in one of your

Shamanistic
oral traditions.

[screaming]

Oh, my god.

[moaning]

Bonnie...

You are officially
the most terrifying
person I know.

Easy there, buddy.

Where am I?

You're on your way
to mystic falls.

Virginia? How did
I get here?

Well, we'll talk
about it on the way.

Smile for mommy.

Yeah! Ok.

Blood. I need blood.

Figured you might.

Either our friend
still has the munchies,

Or this ravenous hunger
is a side effect

Of resurrection.

Don't look at me.

I barely understand
how the guy's alive.

If hunger is
the worst
consequence

Of the stone spell,
then we got off easy.

Are you sure you want
to do this to jo?

Listen. It's now
or never, damon.

No offense, ric,
but I was asking bonnie.

Look at you
sad sacks.

What, am I gonna
say no?

Damon, go get
your girl.

I'll get his.

Trick or treat?

I've been tricked
enough today.

I still haven't heard
a peep from the girls

Since they left.

Who's julian?

Where did you
hear that name?

I've heard a lot
of names in this house

Since I moved in,
but julian,

That's a new one,

Which means your family
isn't talking about him
for a reason.

Well, that's nonsense.

No one who ever met
julian would dare say
a bad thing about him.

He was a saint.

He was the love
of my life.

Was...

Or is?

[cell phone chimes]

Ahh. Damon found
oscar!

Get out of my way.

Why?
You're done here.

Oh. That's
excellent news.

Where's nora?

I don't know.

We had a fight.

I'm sorry.

Do not pity me!

Trust me, I don't.

Is this how relationships
work in the modern era,

Everybody peddling
their flesh like
a street bazaar?

Because bloody nora
seems quite interested
in the browsing.

You know, these days,
they have this
wonderful thing

Called a therapist.

How old do you think
I am?

I could think
of nothing more futile

That prattling on
about one's emotions.

As if I can prevent
nora from drifting away

If I only find
the right words.

Or as if confronting
my first love

Will somehow
make her disappear.

Caroline thinks
that valerie's
mere existence

Is somehow
sabotaging
our relationship,

But if she could
just get into
my head,

She would see that
the only thing

Standing between me
and my girlfriend

Is that
damn spell...

Which you can
remove.

Unh!

Elle king: ¶ lucifer
gonna set me free ¶

I got you.

¶ it's a mean world ¶

Can you--can you
slow down, please?

Trust me. You do not
want to make lily wait.

I learned that
the hard way.

Here. This will take
the edge off.

I'm gonna need more.

Not till we get
our story straight.

We were in myrtle beach,
we were wasted.

You passed out.

I've never been
to myrtle beach.

How deep does
this amnesia go?

I just need
a little more, ok?

Just--just a taste,
a drop.

Well, that was
the last one.

Well, then you're
gonna have to
stop this thing!

Not until you get
one right.

Multiple choice.
You were in myrtle beach--

A, partying too much;
b--

[groaning]

Damon: Hey!

[tires squeal]

¶ you'll find me
where the devil don't go ¶

¶ where the devil
don't go ¶

Don't shoot the one person
who can solve this case

For you, detective dumbass.

What happened?

Oscar's acid trip
went from bad to worse.

I've been tracking him
through the woods.

Damon, it's Halloween.

There'll be
ghost tours going
through mystic falls

Every 30 minutes.

Perfect. At least I know
where he's going.

I'm coming with you.

Donavan, that badge
does not take away the fact

That you are human.

Please don't commit suicide
by heretic tonight.

Since when do
you care?

Give me a break.

I don't want to add
your death to a long list

Of things that are
already my fault.

Mar? Mary lou?

You can't avoid me for--

Siphon the repulsion
spell off of caroline,

Or your girlfriend dies.

Do you see how easy
I made that for you?

Yes. Thanks. Now let me
make it harder for you.

Get away from her!

[sizzling]

Grab my arm and siphon
or keep burning.

[moaning]

Stefan: Did it work?

[snap]

Well, that was a lot
more satisfying

Than I thought
it would be.

Tour guide: Any questions
before we head

To the final stop
on our tour?

Yeah. So when
does this get scary?

Hey! This isn't some
haunted hayride, ok?

If you want teenagers
dressed up in silly costumes

Giving you jump scares,
go to grove hill.

Aah! Aah!

[tourists scream]

Woman: Aah!

[all screaming]

Oscar, enough!

What on earth has
gotten into you?

Oscar, you are not
yourself when you feed.

You know that.

You remember how we live.

You remember--everything
in moderation!

[snap]

Now I get it.

Your favorite sons
are the ones

With the ripper
problems.

I highly recommend
a detox

And an intervention.

Now it's your turn.

Where the hell's
elena?

[arum rae's
"what good is a heart" playing]

Where are they?

It doesn't matter.

Of course
it matters.

They were going to
hurt you!

I'm going to find
them and rip
their heads off

And smash them
together like two
disgusting melons and--

Why are you smiling?

I can't help it.

You're adorable.

¶ save me ¶

¶ take me ¶

I'm sorry.

You were right
to worry.

No. I'm sorry.

We've been on our own,
scorned, abused,

Imprisoned for so long.

I've forgotten that
this world is meant
to be enjoyed,

Not feared.

Help me remember.

¶ with your hands ¶

¶ with your hands ¶

¶ and what good... ¶

We should get back
to mystic falls.

We've spent an entire
lifetime there.

The night is ours.

¶ what good is my heart ¶

¶ if there's no one ¶

¶ ooh, ooh ¶

¶ ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh ¶

No! Wait, wait, wait.
This can't happen yet!

Yes, it can.
That's the whole point.

No! I need you to know
that I am not

Some insecure,
jealous girlfriend, ok?

-Mm-hmm.
-It's just when I get

Something that
I've wanted for
a really long time,

Sometimes I do
this thing--

You overthink things.
Yeah, I know.

Yeah, but sometimes,
I say things

That I don't really
need to say,

But I'm just scared
that I'm the only
one thinking them.

The reason that I'm not
talking about valerie

Is because I'm not
thinking about valerie.

I'm thinking about you

And how you and I have
had more history

In the last 5 years

Than most people have
in a lifetime.

¶ with your love ¶

Hey. This is
off limits to--

You're one
of the heretics.

Yep. Don't do
anything stupid.

Right now, there's
a tour bus full
of corpses

In the cemetery
because I didn't do
anything stupid.

Well, I'm in danger
of being exiled
from my family

Because I did something
extra stupid.

Join me for a drink?

If you're not gone by
the time I count to 3,

I'll shoot you
right now.

1...

2...

3.

[gunshot]

Stick to tourists.

You're welcome.

I'm swooning
on the inside.

Heh.

In case it's not
entirely obvious by now,

I came here to be alone.

Or you're planning
your escape.

Only a matter of time
before oscar sobers up

And fingers you
as his would-be
murderer,

Which clearly you're
bloody awful at.

What do you want,
enzo?

I want, dear,
not so innocent valerie,

For you to tell me
how we're going to
prevent julian

From walking back
into lily's life.

I've asked beau to remove
the cloaking spell

From elena's coffin.

You're find her
in the ruins

Of the old salvatore
mansion.

Clever...Ish.

I do think so.

I'm moving back
to mystic falls.

I will certainly ask
the family to take it
under consideration.

It wasn't a request.

These people didn't
deserve to be killed

By one of your
free range children,

Stefan's up
to his hero hair
in heretic drama,

And I worry that
matt donovan's funeral

Is gonna cut into
my social schedule.

And, what, you're gonna
help keep order?

Damon, you could hardly
keep a covered box safe.

You do realize that
this innate desire

To keep elena
physically present
in your life,

This boyish refusal
to let her go

Will only put her
in more danger?

After everything
you've been through,

What a shame it would be
to lose her

Because you're too
terrified to find out

Who you actually are
without her.

If you dare to return
to mystic falls,

It's no skin
off my nose.

I want
one more thing.

Damon, voice-over: "dear elena,
yes, you heard that correctly.

"hell has frozen over.

"I'm writing it all down.

"granted, I'm a half bottle in

"thanks to my 1950
chateau cheval blanc,

"a bottle I waited
65 years to open."

"I used to spend nights
sitting in my wine cellar,

"convincing myself I could
actually hear it age,

"tannins growing, fermenting,

"but appreciating
its beauty

"didn't make the time
go by any faster.

"the bottle just laid there
on its shelf, torturing me,

"while I waited for katherine,

"and time stood still.

"eventually, I convinced myself
that no sip of that wine

"could ever taste
as good as I dreamt it would,

"so I hid the bottle
and walked away,

And that's the story
of why I drink bourbon."

"I don't know
who I am without you,

"but I do know that
as long as I'm with you

Time will stand still."

"so who is damon salvatore
without elena gilbert?"

[bonnie chanting]

Damon: "a selfish friend"...

"a jealous brother"...

"a horrible son?"

"or maybe with a little luck,
I'll do right by you

"because you may be
1,000 miles away

"or 100 years away,

"but you're still with me,

And my heart is right there
in that coffin with you"...

[bonnie chanting]

"until you come back to me."
