After taking everything in, Stefan FINALLY puts two and two together. "Twelve. Channeling the energy from a mass death is used in witchcraft to perform dark spells. It's called Expression. Shane admitted all this to you?" Rebekah says, "Proudly." Stefan: "Well, I guess we'll have to figure out how to manage him when we find the cure for ourselves." When Rebekah says there is no "we," Stefan reminds her that they each hate their own brothers; Damon has Jeremy; Klaus had the sword; Shane has Bonnie. Stefan and the Beckster are the only ones left with nothing. Whoever finds the cure first controls its use. "What do you say?" Do you want to be partners?" Oh Rebekah, normally, I'd be on Stefan's side, but I just hate to see you get played yet again.

Mystic Grill. April is meeting with the Sheriff and Mayor. She insists her father had no reason to kill himself and eleven other people. He must have been brainwashed into it.

"Not exactly. They're in transition." He looks at Jeremy. "Killing them is your job." Jeremy turns to Damon and says, "You said you were going to convince Klaus to do this another way." Damon says, "Well, I thought about it. And then I realized his idea was better." While Klaus smiles, Jeremy recognizes Damon for the monster he already knew him to be. As Klaus raises his glass and takes a drink, Jeremy looks around. The transitioning vampires are starting to stir. Title card.
