Lake House. Night. As a Southern boy, Damon takes an appropriate level of umbrage when British/Viking Klaus criticizes his whittling. Klaus is still harping on the fact that Jeremy hasn't killed any vampires. When Damon explains that Jeremy isn't ready, Klaus isn't buying and says there's a town full of people down the road who can be turned and slain in a jiffy. Well, he doesn't say "jiffy," but he totally would. Klaus knows what's going on. Damon is trying to be good for Elena's sake, so Klaus says, "That's why I've already made the necessary corrections." Eyes wide with alarm, Damon says, "What did you do?"
Inside, Matt answers the door. It's the pizza woman we met earlier. She's not plying him with more pie. She claims she ran out of gas and her phone is dead.

Because I'm powerfully tired of how often they're compelled. I know the now-exploded Council rounded up all the vervain in town, but seriously? They rounded it ALL up? Come on. And hell, the Internet exists in their universe. Just frigging Google it, guys. Here you go -- one ounce of European Vervain Extract for $3.50. If you want the herb itself, you can get a pound for $15.09. And if it's Blue Vervain you're after, here's an ounce of extract for $5.99. I'm pretty sure the Salvatores can buy enough for the whole Fellowship of the Falls, no matter what you need.
