Elena waits in a gazebo for the mysterious, "em." We cut back to the...
Diner, Rebekah taunts Katherine. While Elijah betrayed Klaus for her, and the Salvatores were head over heels for her, now she's living in a town she had to compel into liking her. Katherine non sequiturs that Becky she can't split the cure with Elena. Rebekah explains that Elena doesn't want it. Katherine says the only thing the cure will take away is Rebekah's immortality. She'll still be stuck with everything she doesn't like about herself. "And you won't even be able to compel yourself a friend." Rebekah grabs Katherine's hand and is crushing it, when the boys enter. Stefan tells them to play nice. Damon teases Katherine for getting caught. "You're losing your touch, evil one." Stefan asks where Elena is. We cut to the...
Gazebo. The most wonderful voice in the world calls out, "Katerina." Elena is startled, but recovers pretty quickly. Thinking she's Katherine, Elijah strokes her hair and compliments her new color (pink streaks). As Elena is thanking him, Elijah kisses her. Sadly it's more awkward than hot. Commercial.
After the break, Elijah pulls back from the kiss and lets his thumb slide down Elena's cheek 'til it touches her chin. From his grin, I think he's already onto Elena. His, "I miss you," seems like a loaded statement. Elena's eyes betray her fear. Elijah comments on the interesting little town Katherine has settled in, then asks, "So, do you have it with you?" Elena: "Do I have...what?" Elijah: "The cure." He cocks his head and gives her a look. You know the one. Elena says, "It's in a safe place. Why don't I go and get it?" She lays her right hand on his chest. Elijah spies her daywalker ring. Elena starts off. "...And then I'll bring it back." Elijah grabs her arm and pulls her back. "Where's Katherine, Elena?" We cut to the...
Diner. Rebekah says, "So, let me get this straight. If I tell you where Elena is, you shove the cure down her throat, and then I end up in a box, right? I don't think so." When he catches Katherine smirking, Damon addresses her. "What about you over there, Smiley? Do you know where she is?" Katherine suggests he check the town morgue. The Elena Haters plead, "Katherine, please don't tease us like that, darling." When she gets blank looks from this week's iteration of the Mystic Falls Brain Trust, Katherine spells it out for them. "She went to meet up with a friend of mine. You may know him. An Original brother. Impeccable taste." Rebekah leans in. "Elijah" As Katherine grins, Damon sneers, and says, "Elijah's here?" Stefan says, "Well, you sort of have to question Elijah's impeccable taste if he's friends with you."
