Stefan and Klaus join forces in a tense alliance to limit the danger that Connor has brought to Mystic Falls. Elena finds herself once again trapped between Stefan and Damon as they argue about how to rescue Jeremy, Matt, and April from Connor, who has taken them hostage at the Mystic Grill. The violence escalates when Klaus sends in one of his hybrids, Dean, to face Connor. Caroline is surprised when she sees Hayley at the Lockwood's house, and Professor Shane helps Bonnie move past her fear and guilt.

Matt: Uh, hey, April. We don't open til eleven.
April: Uh, sorry. I wasn't, like, trying to scare you or stalk you or whatever. I just...um, I came to ask if you've seen Rebekah.
Matt: Why would I have seen Rebekah?
April: Oh, I just assumed. I mean, aren't...aren't you guys kind of like a thing?
Matt: (laughs) Rebekah and I are not a thing.
April: Well, I, I, I mean I'm worried about her. She said she'd help me find stuff out about the fire that killed my dad and then she just disappeared.
(Connor walks out holding a knife on Jeremy)
Connor: Trust me. That's the least of your problems.
Stefan: Thanks for not saying anything to Elena.
Damon: About what? The cure we don't have, can't find, and probably doesn't exist? You're welcome.
Caroline: Uh, who are you?
Hayley: Who the hell are you?
Caroline: I'm Caroline.
Hayley: Oh! You're Tyler's girl. Told me about you. I'm Hayley.
Caroline: Well, Hayley, that's pretty crazy, 'cause I haven't heard a thing about you.
Hayley: I've been staying here a few days.
Caroline: Excuse me?
Hayley: I needed a place to crash, Ty's a buddy, he was kind enough to offer.
Caroline: I know all of Ty's buddies and I haven't heard about you, so how about we cut the crap?
Hayley: Yeah, I don't do teen drama, take it up with Ty.
Professor Shane: Right now just relax, drink your tea. I got this in Australia when I was backpacking with these Aborigine spirit guides. Trust me, it's better when you smoke it, but I'm trying to be a role model. (Bonnie laughs) Bonnie, listen the thing is, what I have in mind might come off as a little unorthodox.
Bonnie: Now I'm officially curious.
Stefan: (while they're discussing the best way to confront Connor) All right, hold on. You're not all going.
Tyler: He shot me, like, nine times. If we're killing him, I want in.
Elena: He's got Jeremy, I'm going.
Stefan: Listen, nobody is going anywhere until I figure out what we're walking into.
Damon: Until you figure it out? Is that where you've been all morning, out buying bossy pants?
Damon: We have a plan. The plan is, I'm gonna rip Connor's heart out and I'm gonna feed it to him.
Stefan: That's not a plan.
Elena: (voiceover, writing in her diary) Dear Diary, I know it's been a while. A long while. I haven't needed...I haven't wanted to write this stuff down. But I don't wanna say it out loud either. The thing is, I'm a vampire. And I hate it.
Stefan: (voiceover, writing about Elena in his journal) She's been spiraling since her transition. There are times I barely recognize her. But now, for the first time in a while, there's hope.
Elena: I feel hopeless. Depressed, angry, but most of all, I'm scared.
Stefan: Somewhere in the world there's a cure for vampires. If I can get it, Elena can be human again. I can give her back her life.
Elena: A part of me just wants to end it. But then I think of Jeremy. I'm all that he has left. So I need to find a way through this. No matter what it takes.
Stefan: So that's what I need to do. No matter what Klaus asks, no matter what lies I have to tell or secrets I have to keep, I'll do it. No matter what it takes.
