Ignoring Damon's mini-tantrum, Stefan notes that their Coffin Contrivance will be worthless, if any more hybrids come sniffing around and discover their hiding place. "They need to go away." Damon recommends keeping the peace, and not drawing attention to the very things they're trying to hide. Stefan wants to play offense, not defense, and intends to bully Klaus into dispersing his pack. "He does what I say, or I dump his family to the bottom of the ocean." Damon points out that could get them all dead. Stefan: "No, he's bluffing. His family means more to him than anything else." Damon asks if Stefan is sure. Stefan decides to call Klaus's bluff. Damn, he's scary. Damon tries to apply the brakes. "The only way to call someone's bluff, Stefan, is to be willing to lose everything, if you're wrong." Stefan almost smiles, then turns and walks out.
MFHS: Bonnie goes to say goodbye Jeremy. They have a mini-moment, and then Jeremy says he thinks leaving town is the right thing. "I think I could have a better life, there." Bonnie (wittingly) plants a seed of doubt in Jeremy's mind. "That's what Elena said. That's exactly what she said." When Jeremy asks what she means, Bonnie decides to behave and says, "Nothing.

Ty says there's nothing he can do. "I just wanted you to know I understand why you can't be with me." Even though he wants to put her first -- he can't and won't ever be able to. "And I'm sorry. I'm so sorry. I just wanted you to know that." Caroline says she's sorry, too. Tyler takes a little gauze bag out of his hand and presses it into Caroline's palm. "Happy Birthday." She smiles and he walks away. Once he's gone, she opens her present. It's a silver charm bracelet, adorned with charms that include a heart, a football helmet, a cheerleader, a little paw print (aww), the letter C and the letter F. Caroline fights to hold back her tears.
