Plot
GEVAARLIJKE RELATIES – Wanneer Rebekah Klaus dringende verzoek weigert om Kol te stoppen en Jeremy te beschermen, gaat hij naar Stefan toe voor hulp. Na een boze confrontatie met haar vader over zijn onconventionele aanpak om het geweld in Mystic Falls te stoppen heeft Bonnie een beangstigende ontmoeting met Kol, gevolgd door een onverwachte bezoeker. Klaus maakt de gespannen gevoelens tussen Stefan en Damon nog ingewikkelder door een stuk van Stefan’s persoonlijke leven te onthullen en daarna Damon te verassen door persoonlijk advies te vragen. Elena vertelt Stefan over haar gevaarlijke plan voor Jeremy waardoor Stefan in een moeilijke positie beland. Wanneer de school’s 1980 thema dansfeest wordt gecanceld door burgemeester Hopkins, vindt Stefan een gecharmeerde manier om het goed te maken voor een teleurgestelde Rebekah.

Quotes
Damon: “If you’re gonna be bad, be bad with a purpose.”
Elena: (to Bonnie) “I want Jeremy to kill Kol”
Bonnie: (to Elena) “You want him to kill an original?”
Klaus: (to Stefan) ”If you let Kol roam free, we can kiss the map to the cure goodbye.”
Kol: (to Bonnie) No one can get to the cure if you’re too dead to find it.”
Kol: (outside the Gilbert home to Elena, Jeremy and Matt on the inside) “Open the door and invite me in.”
Jeremy: (to Elena) “We need Bonnie’s help.”

Elena: “Oh, my God.”
Stefan: “Maybe dysfunctional lunatics, but they stick together no matter what.”
Elena: “We need to find the dagger and use it on Rebekah.”

Rebekah: “This is my place, Nik and I don’t appreciate you invading my privacy like some kind of creeping tom.”
Klaus: Well, I apologize for breaking up this sordid little tryst but I do have some urgent business or have you forgotten our paranoid brother Kol is running around with the white oak stake and homicide on the brain.
Rebekah: He tried to kill me last night I didn’t forget.
Klaus: Yes, well unfortunately he seems to have absconded with my set of daggers.
Rebekah: Oh, poor Nik, how ever will you get your way without your precious daggers. They were so handy when you wanted to end a conversation with one of us!
Klaus: Kol’s irrational fear of Silas has pushed him off the edge. We need to put him down before he does anymore damage, now I know you have the last dagger and I know you seem to have some white oak ash so hand it over.
Rebekah: Mhm and leave myself unprotected? You can file that request under no chance in hell. Begone by the time i have showered, lurkers aren’t welcome here.

Klaus: Hello, mate.
Damon: What the hell are you doing here?
Klaus: Babysitting.
Damon: Oh!
Stefan: (about Damon) Give him a vial of blood every couple of hours so he doesn’t desiccate. If he gets too much strength back or if he just annoys you bleed him out again.
Damon: (about Stefan to him then to Klaus) Silent treatment huh? Is that your best shot? He’s still pissed at me for sleeping with Elena.
Klaus: (to Damon about Stefan) You sure about that? ´Cause I caught him trying to sneak out of Rebekah’s bed this morning which would suggest me he’s moved on.
Damon: (to both of them) Well Well looks like my brother ripped a page out of my revenge sex handbook.
Stefan: (to both of them then to Klaus) Oh well why don’t you two enjoy your little ugh villain bonding time. I’ll let you know when I get the dagger from Rebekah. (leaves)
(Klaus smirks)
