Katherine's House. After Damon warns Katherine against tricks or any other, "Katherine-ing," he mocks that she has a quilt and a fish tank. Rebekah sums up Katherine as, "A very old lady, with dreadful taste." Katherine opens her safe and tells the duo the cure is gone. She puts on a pretty good show, but Rebekah and Damon aren't falling for it. Katherine tries to make like they don't know what a treacherous wench she is. She's so misunderstood! Damon essentially calls her shallow. Rebekah swoops towards Katherine but Damon holds her off and reminds her they still need the cure. He tells Rebekah to check upstairs while he checks the first floor.
Alone with Katherine, Damon says, "So, if I was a paranoid, distrustful sociopath..." Wait. If, Damon? C'mon. He won't answer because he's pissy I interrupted him. Instead, he continues, "Where would I keep my most prized possession?" The entire fandom yells, "In the soap dish!" He ignores us, again and blahs some more. He pauses in front of Katherine's fish tank and compliments the "fancy little treasure chest" inside of, "...a tank with no fish!"
Damon dips his fingers into the water. Immediately, they sizzle. He yells, and pulls them out. The fish tank water is spiked with vervain. He grabs the nearby fishnet and is ready to scoop out the treasure chest, when Katherine rushes him and forces his head under the water. After she holds him under for a few, she tosses him across the room, and scoops out the chest for herself.
Rebekah flies down the stairs and puts herself between Katherine and the door, and orders Katherine to give her the chest, or die. Katherine takes a vial out of the chest and holds it in front of Rebekah. "You're going to kill me, anyway so what's more important to you -- killing me, or getting the cure?" She tosses the in the air. When Rebekah grabs it, Katherine zoops out the door. Damon, still suffering from his vervain facial, grunts as he tries to threaten Rebekah that she shouldn't even think about taking the cure. Commercial.
