Previously on "The Vampire Diaries"...
Does Elena enjoy having both of you worship at her alter?
I love you.
Would you look at me in the eye and tell me that you don't feel something for him.
Drink it.
I just turned about 100 times in the Appalachian mountains.
- Broke his sire bond. - Easier said than done.
Klaus drew this for you?
Does Klaus have a thing for you or something?
I would know if I were killing people.
You wear a ring that lets you cheat death, Rick.
How many times can you die before it changes you?
Are you telling me that your "Vampire hating alter ego" has a stake
that could kill an entire line of vampires, possibly mine!
There's only one stake out there.
Which means that only one Original has to die.
- I want them all to die. - You're not Rebekah.
My name is Esther, and we have a great deal in common.

What took you so long?
Alaric didn't want to hand over the stake.
Luckily, I'm quite the charmer.
That's it?
The last of the white oak stakes that can kill us.
Do you want to do the honors? Or shall I.
Well, that's that then.
Pack your bags.
We're leaving.
- Today? - Why not?
There's nothing keeping us here.
We'll grab the doppelganger and be off by sunset.
But tonight's "Decade Dance."
So?
So I'm head of the comity. We have to go.
I'm not going to any dance.
Caroline will be there.
That means nothing to me.
Please. I have big plans for tonight.
Just go for me.
OK, fine.
One last Hoo-Rah.
One last Hoo-Rah, Nick.
Where've you been? I've been calling you all day.
Yeah. Sorry about that. I...
I just needed to get my head together.
So I take it Rebekah got the stake?
I don't know. I woke up alone. Uh...
There's no sign of it.
Lovely. What now?
Well, I think I need to get out of town.
Somewhere secluded.
I keep blacking out, which means I'm still a threat to everyone.
I don't know if right now is the best time
for you to be going on a spirit quest, Rick.
It's just for a couple of days.
I'm stocked up on Bonnie's herb's. So I should be fine.
I gotta go.
Quite the cunning liar.
Well, Damon is too arrogant to think his only friend would betray him.
Just as Niklaus would blindly accept
an invitation from his beloved sister.
Unaware that he's headed to his own death.
Did you give him the stake?
He burned it without hesitation.
So where's the real one?
You'll get it when it can no longer be used it against me in this body.
So how do you...
How do I return to my true form?
With a little magic.
And some help from a Vampire hunter.
So... Alaric is trying to pull himself together.
Why is that a bad thing?
I just... I wish there was something I could do.
Where do you want me to hang this thing?
You know what?
If Rebekah wanted to hang this monstrosity,
she should've shown up to do it herself.
No!
What are you doing?
You can't just hang them.
There supposed to trickle down.
Trickle...
Look at them all "Bro-mancy."
Yeah. I asked Matt to help Jeremy readjust.
He got his old job back at the Grill.
That was nice of him.
Jeremy's got a lot on his mind.
The whole thing with Alaric, has got him really stressed out.
You're sure it had nothing to do with
witnessing you and Damon getting hot and heavy at a skivvy motel?
I didn't tell you that so you could torture me with it.
Aww... what are friends for.
So, who are you bringing to the dance?
What do you mean?
I thought you Bonnie and I were going as a girl date.
Bonnie has a date.
What?
Jamie called, and wanted to see her, so she asked him.
So... Here's a thought.
Why don't you ask Stefan?
I... I can't...
ask him on a date.
I just made out with his brother.
All the more reason.
Like you're supposed to be figuring out what you want.
That's what Stefan wanted you to do, right?
Yeah, but...
But nothing.
I've watched "The Bachelor."
Ok. Fair is fair.
It is Stefan's turn.
Yeah, and you're not biased or anything.
I'm sorry, but... Stefan is your epic love.
And I'm not going down without a fight.
- Hey. - Hey.
- Do... do you have a second? - Yeah.
Everything alright?
Yeah. Yeah. I just uhm...
I wanted to uh...
Caroline and I were talking about going to the dance,
and uhm...
Ok, look.
I... I know where we're at. You and I.
And I know it'd be stupid to even think that
we could go back to the way things were.
But...
I'm going to the dance, and I'd like to go with you.
Uhm...
I'd love that.
Ok. Great.
Bye.
I'm thinking Gardenia corsage.
Wrist obviously.
You don't want to accidentally stab her in the chest with a pin.
That could get messy.
Damon. I...
Don't, do that.
It's not funny.
Oh, come on. It's a little funny.
What do you want, Damon.
I need medical advice.
For a friend, Alaric. You remember him, right?
About 6 foot 2, tried to hack you into pieces.
How is he?
Are those herbs that Bonnie made for him working?
I don't know. Can they work if he doesn't take them?
Found these in his loft untouched.
Why are we here?
Long ago on this spot, my son tore my heart from my chest.
The violence of my death, marked this ground for all time.
I'll need your ring.
Now, why would I give you the one thing that protects me from death?
I will give you all the protection you need.
However, the stake will burn up in the body of it's first victim.
If you are to kill all of my children,
I will need to bind the protective magic
in your ring, to the stake.
Thus rendering the white oak indestructible.
The ultimate weapon.
For the ultimate hunter.
Wow.
You look very dabber.
You look uhh...
very beautiful.
Here. I uh...
I got something for you.
Thank you.
So, given our dangerous dance... karma.
Sure you're up for this?
Getting out of bed is dangerous these days.
But we have to live our lives.
Who gave you that horrible advice.
Some guy I used to date said it once or twice.
Right.
- Shall we. - Please.
I told you how amazingly awesome you are.
Yeah. I am one of the good ones. I know.
Why the compliments. What else do you want?
I know that you and Elena have been getting closer lately.
And your point is...
One way, or the other
she's pretty much spoken for.
Elena is my friend. Caroline.
I'm just looking out for her.
And I'm just looking out for you.
Because, sometimes, the people who love her...
get caught in the cross-fire.
What's he doing here.
Are you crazy?
- If Klaus sees you... - What's he gonna do?
Draw you another picture?
Tyler this isn't a joke.
I can pretend I'm sired, if I have to.
But I'm not gonna hide while he's mackin all over you.
Tyler...
You do not need to be jealous of Klaus.
I am jealous.
But I'm also competitive, so hang on.
I'm about to sweep you off your feet.
Teach me some moves.
Ohh... no, no no. I uh...
I blacked out for most of this decade, remember?
Nice try.
Bonnie seems happy.
She's working on it.
I've been meaning to talk to her.
Apologize.
Yeah, you should.
Although I wouldn't expect her to forgive you
or Damon.
Listen, Stefan.
About Damon.
We should probably talk about the trip to Denver.
I don't need to know, Elena.
When all this is over
if you and I find our way back to each other,
You can tell me, if you want to.
Otherwise, I don't need to know.
I don't want to know.
How can you be so fair about this?
Because after everything I've put you through...
I'm just honored to be your date tonight.
We three need to talk.
Sorry, uh...
Hey. Bonnie.
Why are you still wearing your ring?
Didn't Elena tell you?
Yeah, yeah, I know all about Alaric.
My sister stops hanging out with vampires,
I'll take it off.
Uh, ex-boyfriend?
Yep.
That's not awkward at all.
If Alaric's sick, then we need to find a cure,
something.
We tried medicine. We tried magic.
Why don't we get him off vervain?
Compel him?
To do what?
Pretend to be Alaric?
The guy that we know is gone.
We're talking about someone who not only hates vampires,
but vampire sympathizers,
which makes one of his most obvious targets
I don't know, you?
What? You think he'd go after Elena?
So, what are you suggesting we do?
I'm suggesting we put him out of his misery.
- What? - No way in hell.
Oh, come on. It's what he would want.
It's a mercy killing.
You are out of your mind.
Jeremy.
Jer, stop.
This is Alaric we're talking about.
You know, he looked out for us.
And we need to do the same for him.
No one's gonna hurt him.
Hey.
Hey. Look at me.
I promise.
Elena.
If you wish to help your friend, Alaric
I suggest you come with me.
Jeremy, go inside and get Stefan and Damon. Now.
I mean you no harm.
But willingly or not,
You will come.
Salt.
It's the binding agent for a spell.
We're trapped here.
You had all kinds of moves out there.
Yeah? I mean, I was just, you know,
Trying to make a good impression.
Well, consider me impressed.
Your friends seem pretty cool.
Yeah.
They're the most important thing in the world to me.
But you gotta admit,
This whole circle of people, it's kind of crazy.
I mean, there's vampires, werewolves,
Ex-boyfriends with magic rings.
I mean...
I'm just a normal guy.
A normal guy wouldn't have said yes to a date with me.
Yeah, that's true.
Sorry to spoil your 7 minutes in heaven.
We have a problem.
You'll forgive me for taking you
from the dance this evening.
That's the burden of being the doppelganger, I'm afraid.
Your blood is a potent binding agent for a witch's spell.
Just please don't hurt Alaric.
She's not hurting me.
Ric.
What's going on?
What are you doing with him?
I'm going to re-make him.
Re-make him?
Make him strong, fast,
like my children.
Indestructible.
For one final time,
I'm going to tap into the dark magic
I used a thousand years ago.
Like my husband Mikael before him,
I will make Alaric into a true hunter.
The vampire to end all vampires.
You can't create another Original.
What if he turns out to be an even
bigger monster than your children?
He won't.
Now that he's embraced his darkest aspect.
His hatred for them will become more pure and uncompromising.
In death, that hatred will be magnified.
You don't know that.
You don't know anything about him.
That is where you're wrong.
Each time he died with that ring, during his brief journey into death,
I was there.
On the other side.
I spoke to him.
I nurtured him, knowing that every death
brought him closer to his true self.
Vampires took everything from him.
Now he's getting his vengeance.
