Grill: Jeremy says, "Elena..." but she ignores him and turns her attention to Anna. "You need to disappear or evaporate, or whatever it is that you ghosts do." Jeremy says it's not Anna's fault. Elena agrees. "You're right. It's yours." Anna poofs out of view, allowing Elena to question Jeremy about how this happened. Jeremy doesn't know. "It just did." He pleads with his sister not to tell Bonnie. Oh Germ, she already told Caroline; there's no way Bonnie won't soon find out. Elena has a lot on her mind, so she's not thinking of that when she says, "Don't worry. I'm going to let you do that, right after I help her send the ghosts away." When Elena returns to the bar/dining room, Lexi approaches her. "Looks like today was a good day to be thinking about me, Elena." She tells Elena to come with her for a "Ripper Detox 101 -- crash course." Elena is startled when Lexi takes her hand. She is also torn. She knows she should help get rid of the ghosts for Jeremy's sake, but she's been wanting Lexi's help on her Search for Stefan Salvatore's Salvation. It's not long before she agrees to go with Lexi.
At the bar, Damon grumbles as he sends a text (presumably to Caroline). "I am never going to hear the end of that damned necklace." Beautiful Brick House picks up a fresh glass of whiskey. "One of you will pay for this, right?" He raises it toward Damon and Alaric. "Cheers!" I could just look at him all day. Damon tells Mason he knows he wants revenge and to, "Get in line." Mason: "Actually, I want an apology." Alaric bursts out laughing. "Good luck with that." Mason is serious and explains he's there to help newly hybridized Tyler. Damon says Tyler can't be helped while Klaus is alive. "Which is like... always." Mason implies there's a weapon that can kill Klaus. Damon asks what he knows. Mason: "I know you need to apologize." When Damon scoffs at the idea, Alaric gives him a (sadly, metaphorical) dope slap. "Are you incapable of remorse? Just apologize." Damon sighs as he looks at Mason. Me too, but for different reasons, probably. Damon: "You're right. I didn't have to kill you. I do a lot of things I don't have to do." That's an apology? Well, apparently it's enough of one for Brick House who lets out a hearty laugh. "That's good enough. Meet me at the old Lockwood cellar. Bring a shovel." He eyes Alaric for a moment and then tells Damon, "Come alone." Damon: "Are you going to bury me alive?" Oh Mason, if so, Alaric will totally help you with that. Mason: "Don't tempt me."
