Previously on "The Vampire Diaries"...

Who's thirsty? (whooping)

Julian took over our town.

I suppose it wasn't so much of a takeover

as a walk right in, nobody stopping you.

Alaric's babies are the future of the coven.

They're inside of you.

I'm done, Mary Lou. It's over.

I found this is my mail.

It's a warning from the Huntress.

Once you've been marked by her sword,

she never stops hunting you.

There's no stopping her, ever.

If my friends' lives are in danger,

I'm not gonna stand by and do nothing.

STEFAN: You came out of the Phoenix Stone,

but you thought you were still inside of it.

Hell messes with you, (whispers), Damon.

- But post-hell... - Peekaboo.

Is much worse.

Can't you find someone else to haunt?!

I can't leave until you find liberation.

I'm not doing this with you anymore.

I promised you liberation.

No! No! Elena!

(insects trilling)

(car horn honking)

(tires screech)

Whoa!

You okay, man?

Mind giving me a hand?

What are you doing out here?

I don't know.

I thought it would make me feel better.

Okay.

Should I call someone or...?

What's your name?

It's Cooper.

Cooper,

you ever done something

so unspeakably horrific you couldn't even

look yourself in the mirror?

Like, it literally makes you ill

to see your own reflection?

And be honest now.

I ran over my girlfriend's cat

a couple months ago and didn't tell her.

Even though it was an accident,

I threw the body in a supermarket Dumpster.

I killed the love of my life.

Burned her alive while she was asleep.

I also beat one of her best friends

till he was unconscious and left him for dead,

if we're keeping score.

(short laugh)

I think I'm just gonna go.

Actually, I can use a ride.

I thought Elena had changed me.

I thought she made me a better man, but...

I was wrong.

I was so wrong.

It was always gonna end up this way.

With me destroying her.

That's what my whole tour of duty

in the Phoenix Stone taught me

is that I'm permanently damaged goods.

You ever feel that way, Cooper?

Hmm?

Not really.

Well, you're lucky.

Coop, I'm gonna kill you now.

Excuse me?

Oh, it's nothing personal. I'm hungry, you're food.

Think of it as a stop at a drive-thru window.

You know, you'll be afraid, I won't care.

Honestly, I can't imagine caring about anyone ever again.

Not a single solitary soul.

CAROLINE: Dear Elena,

I realized I haven't written in a while.

I'm sorry.

Apparently, pregnancy eats at your brain.

Anyway, we all miss you.

And Stefan's finally bouncing back

from his days in that Phoenix Stone hell.

But he's worried about Damon.

A lot more so than usual.

(door opens)

Hey.

Sorry, I was trying to track down my brother.

Curly fries or waffle?

I brought both.

All of them, everything.

(gasps) Gimme, gimme, gimme!

Mmm! Oh, my God!

I love you.

Are you talking to me or are you talking to the fries?

Do you want me to lie to you?

- Hmm. - (chuckles)

Hi.

I love you, too.

Did you find him?

- No. - Okay.

Let me just chow down this cheeseburger,

and then I will help you track him down.

Oh!

Are they kicking again?

Mm-hmm, yeah. Just...

Ow! (laughs)

Yeah, that wasn't very nice. Aah...

- Hey, you okay? - Mm-hmm.

I think I should just, um...

I'm just gonna stand up.

Okay.

For a second.

Hey, hey, Caroline.

Hey, Caroline!

Caroline!

So, crossbow,

stake gun, wooden ammo,

grenades filled with, uh...

Vervain.

Vervain, right.

And you confiscated this stuff from a group

of zombie apocalypse survivalists?

That's what I said.

Uh-huh.

I heard Mystic Falls has become a nutball magnet

for all sorts of supernatural thrill-seekers.

People have a lot of spare time on their hands.

- Anything else, Officer Ares? - No.

You're free to go.

(keys jingle)

Here's your wallet, keys and phone.

PS... your MatchaSingle.com

notifications are blowing up.

Lucky you. Mine's crickets.

You can call me Penny, by the way.

And I didn't officially book you last night,

so you know, you're welcome.

Thanks.

Hey, chin up.

Turns out they aren't letting

your town burn to the ground after all.

What do you mean?

My friend Doug got a call

from the Mystic Falls city planning office this morning.

They said he should come reclaim his house today.

Something about the fire-risk zone being reevaluated?

Do you know what street Doug lives on?

Just to make things interesting.

(all cheering)

Bull's-eye!

And for your courage, my bold friend,

how would you like to make your new home

at 224 Harmony Lane?

Mr. and Mrs. Leonard here

have been called back to town so that they might

invite you in.

Who's next?

I'll give it a go.

Hmm.

Isn't this cozy?

How nice it must feel to be surrounded

by degenerate yes-men.

How safe it must seem.

Valerie, I'm struggling to comprehend you showing your face

within 200 miles of me.

I really only wanted to give you something that was

delivered to me by mistake.

It's a shame someone won't be letting you feel safe for long.

(both chanting indistinctly)

BOTH: Phesmatos invenira venatrixos

isto gladulla onyx.

Phesmatos invenira

venatrixos isto gladulla onyx.

Ohio? Are you sure this isn't a prank or something?

It's not a prank.

A ruthless killing machine is on her way to hunt us all down.

BONNIE: But why announce herself with a cryptic postcard?

Isn't the element of surprise a basic principle

of good vampire hunting?

Not for Rayna Cruz.

Rayna has a taste for taunting her victims.

Like a cat

nibbling the legs off a spider.

What are you doing here?

You got one, too.

And what about Julian?

No.

But I said we'd take care of the problem.

For all our sakes.

Your vampire huntress is currently

residing somewhere in Cincinnati.

Let's get going, Nora.

The sooner she's dead, the better.

Do think I just did that locator spell for a tune-up?

I'm going with you.

We're good, thanks.

Uh, I wasn't asking.

The last thing I need is a so-called

ruthless killing machine

going after any of my friends.

I need to protect them and it's not like

I can trust either one of you to take her down.

And what makes you think we trust you?

I trust her.

She actually cares about the well-being of others.

Unlike you, who only cares about pleasing Julian.

I call shotgun.

- When did you get this? - There it is.

That's the look I've been yearning to see.

Why, Julian, dare I say you seem afraid?

What a shame to think you just made yourself a home here,

and now you have to run.

Kyle, if you kill this shrew right now,

I'll throw in the Lincoln family Buick.

Well, I feel happier.

What did I say would happen

if you ever harmed one of my men again?

Hmm?

Hmm, I think (snaps fingers)

it was something about you gutting me

and feeding my entrails to Stefan.

Mm-hmm.

Bring it on.

She's napping now,

but she's okay.

Her heart's a little weak,

but the babies appear to be totally fine.

Are you sure? She collapsed.

That's not normal.

Well, it's not abnormal, either.

Her blood vessels have dilated,

which can lower blood pressure.

You know, it's best to keep the father

in the loop in situations like this.

Would you like for me to contact her boyfriend?

I'm her boyfriend...

Um, yeah, no.

He's in, the father's in Dallas for a job interview.

I'll... I'll call him.

(door opens, closes)

Hey.

Hey.

Scared me there for a minute.

What is this?

Is my hand desiccating?

You have ten seconds left to live.

Any last words?

- "Last words"? - Mm.

Whoa.

That's a lot of pressure.

I guess if I had to,

I would phrase it as a question.

What's the deal with the "X marks the spot" postcard?

Hmm?

Who are you running from, Big J?

Well, that's not the concern of a dead man.

Perhaps something

a little more poetic.

Two seconds.

It wouldn't happen to be

a sword-wielding vixen that sent your ass straight to hell,

would it?

Ooh, ooh! I've hit a nerve.

Hell-hottie afoot. The end times are near.

I mean, I'm assuming she's hot, right?

(laughing)

Hmm?

Hmm, I get it.

(chuckles)

You're still in a little self-destructive spiral

from your not-so-fantastic voyage into the Phoenix Stone.

You think?

Well, Lily was my touchstone.

She was the very thing that tethered me to my sanity.

And when I lost her,

well, that's when things really went off the rails.

Hmm?

So who did you lose?

Not Lily, not Stefan.

Who was that epic love in the box?

Huh?

Was it Helena? Or Eleanor?

- Or...? - Elena.

Elena.

(chuckles) How is darling Elena?

I burned her alive.

See, I can't help but feel

a little bit responsible for what's happened.

Why don't we have some fun?

Shall we? Hmm?

You know I love games.

And I think I have just the outlet

for the overwhelming pain you must be feeling.

Since when do you eat disgusting garbage food?

Since I stopped caring about getting that exact reaction.

BONNIE: I have a question.

If Rayna was chasing you through Europe in the 19th century,

how exactly is she still alive?

She was spelled to be a vampire huntress by shamans.

They created that sword for her

and imbued her with extraordinary strength.

Why shouldn't they give her a very long life to go with it?

NORA: Hey, do you remember that reading from class last week?

You know, the one about those fragments

of Native American myths?

Uh, the everlastings.

- Ah, the everlastings. - (chuckles)

Am I meant to be impressed you're study buddies

- at a second-rate college? - No.

But feel free to try and be civil.

Otherwise, we will be more than happy

to drop you off at the side of the road, and you can

hitch a ride back to whatever rock you've been living under.

(chuckles)

(Bonnie and Nora laugh)

Well, that's not good.

Yeah, duh, that's why we called you.

Can you just be witchy and fix it?

May I?

BONNIE: Nuthouse for the criminally insane.

BONNIE: Seems promising.

She is a deranged serial vampire killer.

Maybe karma caught up with her.

I'm sorry, I'm gonna need to see some I.D.s.

NORA: We're authorized personnel

Rayna Cruz, room 658, north wing.

So do we actually have a plan here?

If we find her, we kill her.

You'll probably just watch.

Don't be so cavalier, okay?

You know what she's capable of?

Okay.

This is your vicious, terrifying, big bad huntress?

Got it.

I set up some sparring matches

They still have to bake in there a little bit longer.

And I haven't even done the thank you notes

from the baby shower yet.

If it doesn't work,

I'll find something stronger.

I won't let anything bad happen, I promise.

Thank you.

By the way, um, have you spoken to your brother today?

No, he hasn't been returning my calls.

Why? Have you?

I saw him... earlier at the Mystic Grill.

He seemed to be very intent on getting under Julian's skin.

He made quite a show of decapitating one of his men.

What?

Why would he do that?

Julian warned us to stay away from his friends.

Seemed like he had a bit of a death wish to me.

What else you got?

I'm sorry, what did you say your names were again?

I'm Bonnie, she's Nora, that's Mary Louise.

And you're Rayna, right?

Sounds right.

And we don't look familiar to you?

Should you?

Considering you're a murderous vampire-hunting bitch

who chased us across Europe for decades,

yeah, we should look familiar.

You sent one of these to all of us.

Ring a bell?

I'm afraid I don't know what any of that means.

You wouldn't happen to have a cookie, would you?

They only feed me through a tube these days.

NORA: Are you thinking what I'm thinking?

We should stop stalling and slit her throat?

No, we're thinking this couldn't possibly be

the woman we're looking for.

She couldn't send a postcard let alone kill a vampire.

We don't know that for sure. Why should we risk it?

I'm not letting you kill an old woman

whose only cold-blooded ruthless mission

is to eat a ginger snap.

Bonnie's right. Of course she is.

to hunt me down and cage me up.

Matt did that?

Where are you going?

Nowhere in particular, I don't have a destination.

So you don't have anything to say

You're right, Stefan.

Giving Julian the satisfaction of ripping my heart out

would have been a mistake.

Thanks for the intervention.

so no one can see out here,

but I'm worried the ones on the roof are on a different circuit.

MATT: All right, I did it. He's out.

Now I never see you again, right?

Yes, thank you.

Have a nice life.
