feels like, then it's my secret to keep.

00:08:01,400 --> 00:08:05,070
You and I only make out
when magical slugs invade our brains.
180
00:08:05,150 --> 00:08:07,330
I actually want to talk to you
about the letter I wrote.
181
00:08:10,360 --> 00:08:12,170
Which I'm guessing
you haven't read yet.
182
00:08:12,250 --> 00:08:14,330
Been dealing with the pageant,
Penelope.
183
00:08:14,340 --> 00:08:16,790
Yeah, I can see that.
184
00:08:16,870 --> 00:08:20,850
See, this is me offering you
a viable option out.
185
00:08:20,920 --> 00:08:24,010
This pageant is
misogynistic and archaic.
186
00:08:24,020 --> 00:08:25,220
Stop enabling it.
187
00:08:25,230 --> 00:08:26,430
I can't.
188
00:08:26,500 --> 00:08:27,930
I'm a contestant.
189
00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:30,100
You know, I wish I was
drinking something right now
190
00:08:30,170 --> 00:08:31,430
so I could do a spit take.
191
00:08:31,510 --> 00:08:33,690
You know my mom
was Miss Mystic Falls?
192
00:08:33,770 --> 00:08:36,530
Lizzie's been dreaming of
this day since she was little.
193
00:08:36,600 --> 00:08:38,480
Things have been rocky
between us recently,
194
00:08:38,560 --> 00:08:41,480
so if me throwing a few events
helps her win the title,
195
00:08:41,560 --> 00:08:42,980
I'm all for it.
196
00:08:43,060 --> 00:08:46,280
- You agreed to help Lizzie win?
- I'm supporting my sister.
197
00:08:46,360 --> 00:08:49,790
It's her crown
and I'm fine with that.
198
00:08:51,150 --> 00:08:52,540
HOPE: I need another task.
199
00:08:52,620 --> 00:08:54,790
Something more strenuous
if you have it.
200
00:08:54,860 --> 00:08:58,040
Does this have anything to do
with the return of Roman Sienna?
201
00:08:58,050 --> 00:09:00,830
Because I can think
of something real strenuous.
202
00:09:00,910 --> 00:09:02,550
It's not about Roman.
203
00:09:02,560 --> 00:09:04,380
I just need a release.
204
00:09:04,390 --> 00:09:06,890
With all these humans coming
to campus, I can't wolf out.
205
00:09:06,970 --> 00:09:09,060
Okay, I'll make you a list.
(GASPS)
206
00:09:11,310 --> 00:09:13,060
The judges are here. Excuse me.
207
00:09:14,720 --> 00:09:16,350
Mrs. Thompson.
208
00:09:16,430 --> 00:09:19,020
It is such a pleasure
to see you again.
209
00:09:19,100 --> 00:09:21,240
I have your tea waiting
for you in the Great Room.
210
00:09:21,320 --> 00:09:23,980
Earl Grey, milk, two sugars.
211
00:09:24,060 --> 00:09:25,480
Dr. Brandt.
212
00:09:25,500 --> 00:09:29,240
I was so sad
to hear about Muffin.
213
00:09:29,250 --> 00:09:31,080
She was a fine dog.
214
00:09:31,160 --> 00:09:33,990
WOMAN: Lizzie Saltzman?
215
00:09:34,070 --> 00:09:36,460
Vera Lilien.
216
00:09:40,260 --> 00:09:42,000
Dana's mom.
217
00:09:42,080 --> 00:09:43,380
Oh...
218
00:09:43,450 --> 00:09:48,090
My dearest Dana told me so much
about you before she passed.
219
00:09:48,100 --> 00:09:50,760
All good things, I hope.
220
00:09:50,770 --> 00:09:52,920
(GIGGLES)
Not remotely.
221
00:09:56,760 --> 00:09:59,560
I am withdrawing
from Miss Mystic Falls.
222
00:09:59,640 --> 00:10:01,940
Effective immediately.
223
00:10:01,950 --> 00:10:04,900
I thought you had something
important to tell us.
224
00:10:04,980 --> 00:10:06,730
Come for the underwhelming
announcement,
225
00:10:06,810 --> 00:10:08,280
stay for the epic meltdown.
226
00:10:08,290 --> 00:10:09,700
Okay, wait,
why are you quitting?
227
00:10:09,710 --> 00:10:11,780
A personal issue
with one of the judges.
228
00:10:11,790 --> 00:10:15,580
A direct result
of that bitch Dana's sabotage.
229
00:10:15,650 --> 00:10:16,960
She's dead, Lizzie.
230
00:10:17,040 --> 00:10:18,410
Correction:
231
00:10:18,490 --> 00:10:21,250
That dead bitch Dana's sabotage.
232
00:10:21,330 --> 00:10:24,130
Costing me the crown
from beyond the grave.
233
00:10:24,140 --> 00:10:26,800
The head judge is her mother.
234
00:10:26,810 --> 00:10:28,310
The town pharmacist.
235
00:10:28,380 --> 00:10:30,720
There is always
next year for me.
236
00:10:30,790 --> 00:10:33,100
But that does not mean
that we here
237
00:10:33,101 --> 00:10:35,220
at the Salvatore School
shouldn't bring home the title
238
00:10:35,300 --> 00:10:37,310
and stick it to those townies.
239
00:10:37,320 --> 00:10:39,480
So, I have studied
240
00:10:39,560 --> 00:10:41,150
all of the stats
and advanced metrics,
241
00:10:41,230 --> 00:10:44,650
and I have chosen a replacement.
242
00:10:44,660 --> 00:10:47,370
Hope Mikaelson.
243
00:10:54,940 --> 00:10:57,160
I'm gonna regret this, aren't I?
244
00:10:57,240 --> 00:10:59,660
Regret it?
You are the perfect candidate.
245
00:10:59,680 --> 00:11:03,000
You are pageant-pretty,
reasonably well-spoken,
246
00:11:03,010 --> 00:11:05,460
and not to mention you have the
added bonus of being an orphan.
247
00:11:05,540 --> 00:11:06,800
Classic charity case.
248
00:11:06,870 --> 00:11:09,760
Plus, you wanted strenuous.
249
00:11:09,830 --> 00:11:12,260
This is the fiercest competition
in the land.
250
00:11:12,340 --> 00:11:13,690
(SIGHS): Okay...
251
00:11:13,760 --> 00:11:15,970
My mother's research.
She used it to prepare
252
00:11:16,050 --> 00:11:18,190
for Miss Mystic Falls
the year that she won.
253
00:11:18,270 --> 00:11:20,770
It's effective, but her methods?
254
00:11:20,850 --> 00:11:23,610
Quaint at best.
255
00:11:31,310 --> 00:11:33,920
This is my research.
256
00:11:35,590 --> 00:11:39,800
I have studied every answer given,
why every winner has won,
257
00:11:39,870 --> 00:11:41,970
and why every loser has lost.
258
00:11:42,040 --> 00:11:44,590
No one from the Salvatore School
has ever come close.
259
00:11:46,160 --> 00:11:47,930
Until today.
260
00:11:52,390 --> 00:11:53,510
What's up, killer?
261
00:11:53,590 --> 00:11:54,640
(SOFT THUD)
262
00:12:02,350 --> 00:12:03,570
Hi.
263
00:12:04,760 --> 00:12:06,160
Hi.
264
00:12:06,230 --> 00:12:09,280
Visiting contestants' changing
rooms are down that way.
265
00:12:09,350 --> 00:12:11,490
Okay. Thanks.
266
00:12:11,500 --> 00:12:13,330
Do you like comics?
267
00:12:14,570 --> 00:12:15,830
The Green Lantern?
268
00:12:18,750 --> 00:12:20,450
He's only my favorite.
269
00:12:20,530 --> 00:12:22,710
(BOTH CHUCKLE)
270
00:12:22,790 --> 00:12:23,920
I'm Nia.
271
00:12:23,990 --> 00:12:27,180
MG.
272
00:12:27,250 --> 00:12:30,590
If you want, I could show you
around the school.
273
00:12:30,670 --> 00:12:32,170
Okay.
274
00:12:32,180 --> 00:12:33,260
(LAUGHS): Yeah? Okay, solid.
275
00:12:33,330 --> 00:12:35,810
Uh, welcome to Salvatore School.
276
00:12:37,510 --> 00:12:38,860
(SIGHS)
277
00:12:38,930 --> 00:12:43,190
They call it rehearsal, but make no
mistake: The competition starts now.
278
00:12:50,610 --> 00:12:53,030
(SIGHS)
279
00:12:53,040 --> 00:12:55,200
What are you doing here?
280
00:12:55,210 --> 00:12:57,320
Isn't your presence alone
a huge win for the patriarchy?
281
00:12:57,400 --> 00:13:01,660
- Mm, not if I'm your escort.
- MG is my escort.
282
00:13:01,670 --> 00:13:04,160
Well, I might have convinced him
to sit this one out.
283
00:13:04,240 --> 00:13:05,880
And why would you do that?
284
00:13:05,960 --> 00:13:08,380
If you read the letter,
you'd know.
285
00:13:08,460 --> 00:13:10,170
(THUDDING)
(VERA CLEARS THROAT)
286
00:13:10,250 --> 00:13:12,460
Time for rehearsal. Mm-hmm?
287
00:13:12,540 --> 00:13:15,060
(STRINGS PLAYING
LADY GAGA'S "JUST DANCE")
288
00:13:19,470 --> 00:13:21,020
Honor your partner.
289
00:13:22,900 --> 00:13:25,730
Right hand around.
290
00:13:25,740 --> 00:13:29,400
Flirt with your eyes.
291
00:13:29,410 --> 00:13:32,030
Left hand around.
292
00:13:34,320 --> 00:13:35,450
Both hands.
293
00:13:40,110 --> 00:13:41,330
(SCOFFS)
294
00:13:41,400 --> 00:13:42,870
- I'm sorry.
- Sorry.
295
00:13:42,950 --> 00:13:45,260
With the time you spent
not doing your hair,
296
00:13:45,330 --> 00:13:47,370
you could've at least
practiced the dance a little.
297
00:13:47,450 --> 00:13:49,680
(SIGHS)
298
00:13:51,950 --> 00:13:54,260
This is the death of feminism.
299
00:13:54,340 --> 00:13:56,100
It's tradition.
300
00:13:56,180 --> 00:13:57,770
Don't be a hater.
301
00:14:01,180 --> 00:14:02,690
- I'm gonna trip now.
- What?
302
00:14:05,850 --> 00:14:07,850
Ooh! Very nice.
303
00:14:07,930 --> 00:14:10,560
But there's no touching
during this part.
304
00:14:10,640 --> 00:14:12,440
It's all about
the simple intimacy
305
00:14:12,450 --> 00:14:14,450
of the near-touch.
306
00:14:17,650 --> 00:14:20,070
Don't ruin this for me.
307
00:14:20,150 --> 00:14:21,960
For you or for Lizzie?
308
00:14:22,040 --> 00:14:23,370
For both of us.
309
00:14:23,380 --> 00:14:24,790
There's a plan.
310
00:14:24,800 --> 00:14:26,800
That plan now involves
helping Hope.
311
00:14:26,870 --> 00:14:29,250
I already told you
I don't want to win.
312
00:14:29,330 --> 00:14:31,580
But did you mean it?
313
00:14:31,660 --> 00:14:34,380
Or would following in your
mother's footsteps be cooler
314
00:14:34,460 --> 00:14:36,310
than you could ever imagine?
315
00:14:36,380 --> 00:14:38,300
Would winning Miss Mystic Falls
bring your family history
316
00:14:38,310 --> 00:14:40,520
full-circle in a way
that Lizzie...
317
00:14:42,130 --> 00:14:43,260
...would never appreciate?
318
00:14:43,270 --> 00:14:47,650
- Why would you say that?
- Let's just finish the dance.
319
00:14:49,850 --> 00:14:51,400
NIA: Like there's a question?
320
00:14:51,470 --> 00:14:54,990
John Stewart is the best
Green Lantern by a mile.
321
00:14:55,070 --> 00:14:56,820
Not even close.
322
00:14:56,830 --> 00:14:59,650
But that Hal Jordan story
is for real, though.
323
00:14:59,660 --> 00:15:05,740
I mean, dude kills his friends
and still redeems himself.
324
00:15:05,820 --> 00:15:09,620
If he can make good on that,
then there's hope for all of us, right?
325
00:15:09,700 --> 00:15:11,840
That's deep.
326
00:15:11,920 --> 00:15:13,830
You kind of caught me
at a deep moment.
327
00:15:13,850 --> 00:15:17,250
So, this is the third time
we've been through this room
328
00:15:17,330 --> 00:15:20,090
and you still haven't introduced
me to anyone else around here,
329
00:15:20,170 --> 00:15:21,520
like your friends.
330
00:15:21,590 --> 00:15:24,810
But maybe later,
I'll introduce you to...
331
00:15:26,720 --> 00:15:28,070
...my mom?
332
00:15:29,860 --> 00:15:32,610
Young lady, do you have
something else to do?
333
00:15:35,060 --> 00:15:37,400
Yeah, I guess I do.
334
00:15:37,410 --> 00:15:38,370
I'm sorry.
335
00:15:42,900 --> 00:15:44,580
Milton, we have to talk.
336
00:15:47,290 --> 00:15:49,450
(STRINGS PLAYING)
337
00:15:49,530 --> 00:15:51,830
I can't believe
you were so nice to him.
338
00:15:51,910 --> 00:15:53,870
After everything you told me he
did to you and to your family,
339
00:15:53,890 --> 00:15:55,890
- you can act like nothing happened?
- It's complicated.
340
00:15:55,960 --> 00:15:58,380
He spent half of his life
desiccated in a cave.
341
00:15:58,390 --> 00:16:00,630
And then he was
brainwashed by his mother,
342
00:16:00,710 --> 00:16:04,180
who was a literal Nazi.
343
00:16:04,250 --> 00:16:08,010
And he's spent the last two years
doing really good work for the school.
344
00:16:08,090 --> 00:16:09,230
Your mother is still dead.
345
00:16:09,310 --> 00:16:10,810
How does any of that
exonerate him?
346
00:16:10,890 --> 00:16:12,140
It doesn't.
347
00:16:12,220 --> 00:16:14,570
But it's in the past. Leave it.

torture because I stole a knife,

Do nothing.

is a very good fit for you anymore.

00:16:32,780 --> 00:16:35,090
What? They're taking
good care of me here.
355
00:16:35,170 --> 00:16:37,260
Plus, it's not like you're
willing to take me home.
356
00:16:37,340 --> 00:16:40,210
There are other schools overseas
for people like you...
357
00:16:40,290 --> 00:16:42,050
I don't want any other school.
358
00:16:42,120 --> 00:16:44,930
And I honestly don't need
you judging this one, either.
359
00:16:45,010 --> 00:16:48,100
At least here they see me for
who I am, ugly parts and all.
360
00:16:48,180 --> 00:16:53,440
So maybe you should go home
and leave me be.
361
00:16:56,810 --> 00:16:59,620
(INDISTINCT CHATTER)
362
00:16:59,690 --> 00:17:02,110
- Lizzie, where are we going?
- You are a ticking time bomb.
363
00:17:02,120 --> 00:17:03,640
I'm gonna show you how
to take care of it
364
00:17:03,720 --> 00:17:06,780
before you hurt someone, or
worse, cost us the pageant.
365
00:17:06,790 --> 00:17:08,780
I'm fine. Okay?
I just needed some air...
366
00:17:08,790 --> 00:17:11,200
You are far from fine.
367
00:17:11,210 --> 00:17:14,790
You are one small moment away
from a meltdown, trust me.
368
00:17:14,800 --> 00:17:15,970
I know the signs.
369
00:17:16,040 --> 00:17:17,500
You know that feeling inside,
370
00:17:17,580 --> 00:17:19,800
like a balloon
constantly filling up,
371
00:17:19,880 --> 00:17:21,550
always on the verge of popping?
372
00:17:21,620 --> 00:17:22,550
Maybe.
373
00:17:22,620 --> 00:17:23,640
Well, let it pop.
374
00:17:25,000 --> 00:17:28,440
Scream as loud as you can.
375
00:17:37,930 --> 00:17:41,700
(SCREAMING)
376
00:17:52,000 --> 00:17:53,920
(BIRDS CHIRPING)
377
00:17:55,590 --> 00:17:58,420
(PANTING): You know?
I actually feel a lot better.
378
00:17:58,490 --> 00:18:00,420
But I think I need
to go back up to my room.
379
00:18:00,490 --> 00:18:01,790
I need to call it a day.
380
00:18:01,870 --> 00:18:03,840
No, you are not
dropping out on me.
381
00:18:03,850 --> 00:18:08,470
If I'm right, which I am, our
win probability is still at 87%.
382
00:18:08,540 --> 00:18:11,100
Even after that
abysmal rehearsal.
383
00:18:11,170 --> 00:18:14,230
So buckle up, we're in
this till the bitter end.
384
00:18:17,340 --> 00:18:18,690
In a situation like this,
385
00:18:18,700 --> 00:18:21,020
which one of us
is supposed to apologize?
386
00:18:21,030 --> 00:18:25,360
When it comes to jealousy?
Always the guy.
387
00:18:25,370 --> 00:18:27,120
- Hey.
- Hey.
388
00:18:27,200 --> 00:18:30,710
I'm so sorry, I was totally
insensitive, and I just, I...
389
00:18:30,780 --> 00:18:33,120
Where did this statue come from?
390
00:18:33,190 --> 00:18:34,950
Uh, I-I don't know,
391
00:18:35,030 --> 00:18:37,290
somebody probably moved it up
here when they were cleaning?
392
00:18:37,360 --> 00:18:39,620
Looks like one of the
statues from the basement.
393
00:18:39,700 --> 00:18:42,430
Call me crazy, but doesn't
this look like MG's mom?
394
00:18:46,420 --> 00:18:49,180
I think
it is MG's mom.
395
00:18:51,120 --> 00:18:53,140
MG: Who would do this to my mom?
396
00:18:53,150 --> 00:18:55,730
Well, not just who would...
Who could?
397
00:18:55,800 --> 00:18:57,730
It could be a bad
spell translation,
398
00:18:57,800 --> 00:18:59,940
- a potion mishap?
- Or a monster.
399
00:19:00,270 --> 00:19:01,650
There's no reason
a monster would be here.
400
00:19:01,720 --> 00:19:06,490
Unless this sentient jar of artisanal
mayonnaise activated a new artifact.
401
00:19:06,560 --> 00:19:08,910
- What did you touch?
- Everything.
402
00:19:08,990 --> 00:19:12,420
We cleaned the school
from top to bottom, remember?
403
00:19:12,490 --> 00:19:14,330
But if we're just gonna throw
out wild theories, here's one:
404
00:19:14,400 --> 00:19:16,660
What if the person
who did this showed up today,
405
00:19:16,740 --> 00:19:18,260
out of nowhere,
acting all buddy-buddy,
406
00:19:18,330 --> 00:19:21,420
manipulating romantic feelings
to get someone's guard down?
407
00:19:21,430 --> 00:19:23,340
Do you seriously suspect Roman?
408
00:19:23,350 --> 00:19:25,380
Yeah, we all should.
The timing is too convenient.
409
00:19:25,460 --> 00:19:27,340
I thought you were sorry
for acting jealous.
410
00:19:27,420 --> 00:19:29,220
I was sorry,
but now I'm vindicated.
411
00:19:29,290 --> 00:19:30,930
All right, Lizzie, Hope,
412
00:19:31,000 --> 00:19:32,100
you keep an eye on
the contestants.
413
00:19:32,180 --> 00:19:33,890
MG, we're gonna
search the campus.
414
00:19:33,970 --> 00:19:34,493
Landon...
415
00:19:34,518 --> 00:19:36,084
I'm gonna go ask
Roman some questions.
416
00:19:36,130 --> 00:19:37,680
Yeah, super helpful.
417
00:19:37,760 --> 00:19:39,780
Ask a vampire how he turned
a woman to stone.
418
00:19:39,860 --> 00:19:42,200
All right, everyone stay alert
and be careful out there.
419
00:19:46,860 --> 00:19:49,030
LANDON: So this has got
to be weird for you.
420
00:19:49,110 --> 00:19:51,790
Lot of emotions coming up, been
a while since you've seen Hope.
421
00:19:51,870 --> 00:19:53,740
I thought we were supposed to be
looking for the boulder bandit.
422
00:19:53,820 --> 00:19:54,880
Yeah, about that.
423
00:19:56,460 --> 00:19:58,460
Are you sure
I'm not looking at him?
424
00:19:58,470 --> 00:19:59,870
(SCOFFS)
425
00:19:59,950 --> 00:20:02,300
Uh, yeah.
426
00:20:02,380 --> 00:20:04,960
Yeah, you solved
the case, Sherlock.
427
00:20:04,970 --> 00:20:06,470
I'm gonna turn
the entire school to stone,
428
00:20:06,550 --> 00:20:08,210
steal a horse from the stable,
429
00:20:08,290 --> 00:20:10,970
and Hope and I are gonna
ride off into the sunset.
430
00:20:10,980 --> 00:20:14,350
Stop beating around the bush.
Ask me what you really want to know.
431
00:20:16,650 --> 00:20:18,610
Do I still have
feelings for Hope?
432
00:20:20,140 --> 00:20:22,730
Yes, of course I do,
and I always will,
433
00:20:22,810 --> 00:20:24,900
but she would
never get back with me.
434
00:20:24,970 --> 00:20:26,770
And, look, you don't have
to trust me on this,
435
00:20:26,850 --> 00:20:29,540
but you should
definitely trust her.
436
00:20:34,860 --> 00:20:40,510
HOPE: "Though I still struggle daily
with a profound sense of l-loss..."
437
00:20:40,580 --> 00:20:43,750
Lizzie, um,
why are all the answers
438
00:20:43,830 --> 00:20:47,010
that you've prepared for me
about death and grief?
439
00:20:47,090 --> 00:20:48,920
The Q and A portion
of Miss Mystic Falls
440
00:20:49,000 --> 00:20:51,010
isn't just about
A-ing the Qs, Hope.
441
00:20:51,020 --> 00:20:53,090
You and Dana's mom
have a lot in common.
442
00:20:53,170 --> 00:20:55,350
She lost Dana, you lost
443
00:20:55,430 --> 00:20:59,100
your mom, your dad,
Landon almost.
444
00:20:59,180 --> 00:21:01,850
(SCOFFS) I'm not...
I'm not struggling anymore.
445
00:21:01,860 --> 00:21:03,700
I've dealt with it and moved on.
446
00:21:12,560 --> 00:21:14,530
This was my mother's.
447
00:21:14,540 --> 00:21:16,460
We can alter it to fit you.
448
00:21:21,740 --> 00:21:24,050
It's gorgeous.
449
00:21:27,660 --> 00:21:30,340
- How'd the interview portion go?
- Great. Totally blew it.
450
00:21:30,420 --> 00:21:31,630
Hey, hey.
451
00:21:31,710 --> 00:21:35,390
I think we should talk about
how you really feel about this.
452
00:21:35,470 --> 00:21:36,600
Okay, sure.
453
00:21:37,810 --> 00:21:42,180
Or maybe I could just
write it all down with this.
454
00:21:42,260 --> 00:21:44,230
I was wondering how you quoted
455
00:21:44,240 --> 00:21:47,650
my exact thoughts on Miss
Mystic Falls, word for word.
456
00:21:47,720 --> 00:21:50,900
Then I remembered
I wrote it all in my diary,
457
00:21:50,910 --> 00:21:53,240
using one of the pens
you gave everyone for Christmas.
458
00:21:53,250 --> 00:21:56,250
You spelled it.
You're using it to spy.
459
00:21:56,320 --> 00:22:00,750
I siphoned one. There's enough
magic in it to levitate an elephant.
460
00:22:02,410 --> 00:22:04,500
You caught me.
461
00:22:04,570 --> 00:22:05,920
Yeah, I've been reading
your journal.
462
00:22:05,930 --> 00:22:08,040
I've been reading
everyone's journal,
463
00:22:08,120 --> 00:22:12,050
but I am only using
the information for good,
464
00:22:12,120 --> 00:22:14,930
like convincing you
to win Miss Mystic Falls.
465
00:22:15,010 --> 00:22:18,680
Even if I hadn't already tanked it,
I don't want to win,
466
00:22:18,760 --> 00:22:21,940
because then I'd be beating Hope,
and Lizzie wants Hope to win.
467
00:22:22,020 --> 00:22:24,850
So all of your selfish,
obnoxious and evil meddling
468
00:22:24,930 --> 00:22:26,490
was for nothing.
469
00:22:34,270 --> 00:22:39,120
If it's a monster,
my guess is it's a Gorgon.
470
00:22:39,130 --> 00:22:40,370
What's that?
471
00:22:40,440 --> 00:22:42,090
You ever hear of Medusa?
472
00:22:43,260 --> 00:22:45,630
She's the most famous one.
473
00:22:45,710 --> 00:22:47,786
They're supposed to be
incredibly beautiful
474
00:22:47,787 --> 00:22:52,300
with snakes for hair,
turn men into stone.
475
00:22:52,310 --> 00:22:54,590
If Dorian were here,
he could tell you more about it,
476
00:22:54,670 --> 00:22:56,470
but he's not.
477
00:22:56,550 --> 00:22:59,970
Uh... wh-what if she was
doing it off of instinct?
478
00:22:59,980 --> 00:23:01,720
You know,
Gorgons gonna Gorgon.
479
00:23:01,730 --> 00:23:03,770
Maybe it was a mistake.
480
00:23:03,780 --> 00:23:07,990
Maybe she's actually super smart
and-and-and chill
481
00:23:08,060 --> 00:23:11,560
and she's just scared
or confused or something. Maybe.
482
00:23:11,640 --> 00:23:14,450
What do you know?
483
00:23:28,700 --> 00:23:31,130
Where is Landon Kirby?
484
00:23:31,200 --> 00:23:37,340
I won't hurt you or anyone else if
you just take me to Landon Kirby.
485
00:23:37,350 --> 00:23:40,730
I'm not giving up any of my friends,
but I'm definitely not giving up Landon.
486
00:23:51,560 --> 00:23:53,370
Why aren't you stone?
487
00:23:53,440 --> 00:23:57,040
I don't know.
Maybe because I'm a vampire?
488
00:23:57,110 --> 00:23:59,910
You're a vamp?
489
00:24:02,020 --> 00:24:03,950
That's dope.
490
00:24:04,030 --> 00:24:05,160
(CHUCKLES)
491
00:24:05,170 --> 00:24:06,660
Two things:
492
00:24:06,740 --> 00:24:08,200
Stewart is the best.
493
00:24:08,220 --> 00:24:10,040
Whatever. And?
494
00:24:10,050 --> 00:24:13,130
And... I'm sorry.
495
00:24:14,550 --> 00:24:15,890
(BONES CRACK)
496
00:24:29,240 --> 00:24:31,400
Mmm.
497
00:24:31,410 --> 00:24:33,120
It's not bad.
498
00:24:35,890 --> 00:24:38,250
I don't think you've ever
spoken to me before.
499
00:24:38,320 --> 00:24:41,080
You've never had
free booze before.
500
00:24:41,160 --> 00:24:43,330
Right. Makes sense.
501
00:24:43,400 --> 00:24:46,130
So, what sorrows
are we drowning?
502
00:24:52,600 --> 00:24:55,260
I came back from the dead...
503
00:24:56,750 --> 00:24:59,510
...in a, in a
burst of flames.
504
00:24:59,580 --> 00:25:01,180
And you'd think
505
00:25:01,250 --> 00:25:03,430
that would earn a guy a couple
days of feeling special,
506
00:25:03,440 --> 00:25:06,560
but the irony about
this place is that...
507
00:25:06,630 --> 00:25:08,390
special is just normal.
508
00:25:08,470 --> 00:25:11,110
All it takes is one
good-looking vampire,
509
00:25:11,190 --> 00:25:13,110
and then I might as well be
back at Mystic Falls High.
510
00:25:13,120 --> 00:25:14,780
(SIGHS) Maybe I should just...
511
00:25:14,860 --> 00:25:18,950
tell Hope how jealous I am
of Vampire Captain America.
512
00:25:19,030 --> 00:25:22,240
I should put it all out there, right?
And just say it.
513
00:25:22,320 --> 00:25:24,290
If I've learned
anything from Hope,
514
00:25:24,370 --> 00:25:26,240
it's that honesty
is the best policy.
515
00:25:26,320 --> 00:25:27,950
(SPITS)
516
00:25:27,960 --> 00:25:31,210
(LAUGHS)
I'm sorry.
517
00:25:31,280 --> 00:25:36,590
Did you just put "Hope" and
"honesty" in the same sentence?
518
00:25:36,660 --> 00:25:39,390
You are all so blind
to the hypocrisy of this place.
519
00:25:40,800 --> 00:25:43,220
You know what?

00:25:43,300 --> 00:25:45,810

00:36:18,350 --> 00:36:20,110
After the day I've had,
700
00:36:20,120 --> 00:36:22,450
I'm gonna need you to be
a little more specific, Landon.
701
00:36:22,460 --> 00:36:24,860
I was a lawn ornament
until about ten minutes ago.
702
00:36:24,940 --> 00:36:27,500
Did you know that Hope
remembered meeting my mom?
703
00:36:29,820 --> 00:36:32,840
Did you know that she was
lying to me about it?
704
00:36:34,410 --> 00:36:36,260
Yeah, I did.
705
00:36:39,330 --> 00:36:42,060
So you're a liar, too.
706
00:36:44,220 --> 00:36:48,810
If you're looking for someone to
blame, go ahead, you can blame me.
707
00:36:48,890 --> 00:36:51,100
I can take it.
708
00:36:51,180 --> 00:36:53,990
But just cut Hope
a little slack, okay?
709
00:36:55,990 --> 00:36:57,650
She just wanted to protect you.
710
00:36:57,660 --> 00:36:59,570
(CRYING): Protect me?
711
00:37:01,740 --> 00:37:04,780
I can't deal with this
right now.
712
00:37:04,860 --> 00:37:07,450
MG: How you feeling?
713
00:37:07,530 --> 00:37:10,330
Much lighter, thank you.
714
00:37:10,340 --> 00:37:13,960
Look, Ma, I'm sorry for
snapping at you earlier.
715
00:37:14,030 --> 00:37:16,340
You didn't raise me to talk
to grown folks like that.
716
00:37:16,420 --> 00:37:20,350
But you did raise me
to be my own man
717
00:37:20,420 --> 00:37:22,300
and to make my own choices.

00:37:27,930 --> 00:37:31,600
This is the only place that
would give me a second chance
722
00:37:31,670 --> 00:37:33,310
- after doing what I did.
- Milton...
723
00:37:33,380 --> 00:37:38,650
I don't like being called that. And the
only way I am leaving this place is dead,
724
00:37:38,720 --> 00:37:40,280
with a stake in my heart.
725
00:37:42,060 --> 00:37:44,370
Or when I graduate.
726
00:37:44,450 --> 00:37:47,330
