Woods
Damon, Bonnie, and Jeremy are walking through the woods.
Jeremy:"is this the spot Emily Bennett was killed, too?"
Damon:"founders thought it was poetic burning her where the other witches burned."
Bonnie:"how do you know where the witches were burned?"
Damon:"'cause I tried to save her. Emily was just my key to getting Isabela back before I knew what a nasty little bitch Isabela was."
Jeremy laughs. They stop in front of an abandoned and run-down house where the witches used to live.
Jeremy:"you sure it's the right place?"
Damon nods. They enter the house and walk around. Suddenly, Damon is unable to move.
Damon:"whatever witchy prank you're playing, don't. It's not funny."
Bonnie:"I'm not doing anything."
Damon:"I can't move."
Suddenly his skin starts burning.
Damon:"oh, my ring's not working. Do something."
She concentrates and closes her eyes. Then Damon can move again.
Bonnie:"I don't think the witches like you being here."
Jeremy:"I guess this is the right place."
Damon:"I'm gonna go wait outside." He leaves the abandoned house.

Salvatore Boarding House
Isabela is in Damon's bedroom. She's searching for the moonstone. She goes through his closet and drawers. She finds a wad of cash and pockets it. She even checks the fireplace but can't find it.
She sighs and goes and washes her hands with soap in the bathroom. She starts to leave, but suddenly stops. She digs in the bowl of soap bars that Damon has and finds the moonstone. She takes it out and smiles.

Mystic Falls
Alaric walks to his car, and Amelia is there.
Amelia:"hi Ric."
Alaric:"Amelia. What do you want?"
Amelia:"just cleaning up some loose ends."
Alaric:"yeah, we don't have any loose ends."
Amelia:"you may not. I do. I need to apologize to you."
Alaric:"it's a little late for that."
Amelia:"no, not for what I've done in the past. We're beyond that. Although I am sorry for outing you to your girlfriend. That was petty of me."
Alaric:"look, whatever jacked-up vampire amends that you're trying to make with me right now, I'm not interested."
Amelia:"of course not, because I compelled you to let me go. I realize that I don't wanna do what I have to do without you knowing how much I loved you and I did. I loved you so much. He's all yours."
A man behind Alaric he puts his hands next to Alaric's head. He falls on the floor, unconscious. Amelia leaves, looking pained.

Old Witch House
Damon is waiting outside the house,"wanna hurry it up in there?"
The door closes by itself.
Damon:"screw you too, Emily. You know, you're all on your own in there." He leaves.

Bonnie and Jeremy are inside the old witch house.
Bonnie:"can you hand me the grimoire?"
Jeremy:"are you sure about this?"
Bonnie:"are you worried about me?"
Jeremy:"yeah, of course I am."
She takes the grimoire and kisses him.
Bonnie:"I'm sure."
She opens the grimoire and sees a letter. She reads it. Voices are whispering around them.
Jeremy:"what is that?"
Bonnie:"the spirits of the witches who died here. I can feel them."
Jeremy:"all right. What are they saying?"
Bonnie:"I can't tell."
She walks out of the room and down into the basement. Jeremy follows her.
Jeremy:"where are you going?"
She stops in the basement.
Bonnie:"here. This is it. Help me set the candles."
The whispers have gotten louder.
Jeremy:"what the hell are they saying?"
She concentrates and closes her eyes. She reopens them.
Jeremy:"what is it?"
Bonnie:"nothing."
All the candles lights up at the same time.
Bonnie:"they're ready."

Lockwood Mansion
Everyone is sitting in one room. Carol is talking to them.
Carol:"and here to accept the donation to the Miranda Sommers-Gilbert scholarship fund is Nevaeh Gilbert."
I smiled and joined Carol.

John is upstairs, and Amelia is there.
John:"what's re you doing here?"
Amelia:"I'm creating a distraction. I'm sorry, John."
Her face changes. She rushes over to John and bites him.

I accepted the check,"the Historical Society was my mom's baby. She considered all of you family and would be honored and touched by this gift."
Stefan heard a noise. He looks aside and sees John Gilbert falling down the stairs. He lies unconscious on the floor.
Everyone has heard. Stefan goes over to him. Everyone clears the room and goes over to the staircase. I was about to follow them but Isabela showed up in front of me, and puts her hand on my mouth.
Isabela:"cute dress. Mind if I burrow it?"
