Klaus questions, "Depends. Do you happen to know where the young Brutus is?"

Caroline explains, "I know where he's not... with me. He gave Matt the deed to the house, so he's gone for good."

Klaus says, "Tyler made it his life's mission to kill me. You can't hate me for driving him away."

Caroline says, "No. I can, and I do. Now if you don't mind, I'd like to get back to spiraling, so go away."

Stefan joins them, "Actually, I asked him to be here. We need his help. I think Silas is in Mystic Falls."

"Are you fuckien kidding me?" Scarlett asks, they all turn to look at her surprised by her cursing.

"I cursed, get over it." She says, Stefan informs them of the missing blood.

Klaus says, "So some blood went missing from a few hospitals. What about Elena? Don't vampires with their humanity off tend to overindulge in human blood, or were you the exception?"

Stefan says, "It's not Elena."

"She'd just kill people." Scarlett says.

Klaus says "Well, let's say for a moment that it was Silas. I'm struggling to see how this affects me."

Stefan says, "Look. Silas wants to die and be reunited with his one true love, but he's supernatural, so if he takes the cure and dies, he gets stuck on the other side."

"But most of the supernatural beings are there, the balance would go to shit." Will says.

Klaus says, "How Shakespearian."

Stefan explains, "But if he destroys the other side altogether, he can take the cure, die, and pass on, but in destroying it, every dead supernatural being will return to our side."

Caroline says, "That means every werewolf, every witch, every vampire. I wonder how many of those you personally killed. Care yet?"

Klaus admite, "My interest is piqued. How do we stop him?"

"It also means Mikael, unless he's in hell. Doubt it, though." Scarlett says.

"Purgatory sounds more about right." Will says.

"Wait, that's means every Fairchild from the other side, comes back, Eliza." Scarlett says.

"So does Esther." Will makes a disgusted face.

Stefan says, "Bonnie said Silas needs to complete 3 massacres to do this spell. Before Professor Shane died, he convinced the pastor to blow up the council. Next, he had you kill your hybrids, and now he only needs one more massacre, so if he's here, that's what he's doing. We need to find him."

"Do you have anything that belongs to him?" Will asks. Stefan shakes his head.

    𝘼𝙩 𝙎𝙝𝙖𝙣𝙚'𝙨 𝙤𝙛𝙛𝙞𝙘𝙚, 𝙎𝙩𝙚𝙛𝙖𝙣, 𝘾𝙖𝙧𝙤𝙡𝙞𝙣𝙚, 𝙎𝙘𝙖𝙧𝙡𝙚𝙩𝙩, 𝙒𝙞𝙡𝙡 𝙖𝙣𝙙 Klaus enter.

Caroline asks, "What are we even looking for?"

Stefan says, "Well, if Shane really was working with Silas, chances are he was helping him plan his next move."

"Where, on his evil villain to-do list... steal blood, perform 3 massacres, pick up dry cleaning?" Scarlett asks.

Klaus expains, "Actually not to nit-pick, but we evil villains usually use minions to pick up our dry cleaning, that sort of thing."

"I'll keep that in mind when I go dark." Scarlett shrugs looking around.

Caroline asks, "Why is he necessary again?"

Stefan says, "Well, we don't know what Silas can do, so if we do have to go head to head with him, an original hybrid who can't die might come in handy. With two tribrids, that can call upon three bloodlines."

"Grandpa Nikki has been a bad guy for many years, insight Care." Scarlett adds.

Klaus adds, "Besides, Stefan and I work well together, or at least we did in the twenties." 

Stefan defends, "Well, granted my emotions were off."

Klaus explains, "And that's why you were more fun just as Damon is probably relishing in Elena's emotionless company in New York."

Stefan says, "My brother knows what he's doing." Scarlett and Will share a look.

"You guys are twin talking!" Care smiles, they both raise an eyebrows. "You know talking through your eyes." She says cheerfully.

Klaus asks, "Does he? Don't underestimate the allure of darkness, Stefan. Even the purest hearts are drawn to it. Still, I'm sure it will all be fine."

Caroline says. "I think I found something. "Symbolic figures in the dark arts." Didn't Bonnie talk about expression triangles? Here."

Stefan reads, "In some schools of magic such as expression, human sacrifice can be used as a focus for power. It's rumored that the addition of two supernatural sacrifices compounds the mystical energy, creating an expression triangle."

Caroline says, "Humans... that was the council fire."

"Demons... Klaus' hybrid failure." Scarlett adds.

Klaus asks, "Well, I wouldn't exactly call it a failure. What's the third?"

Caroline, "Oh, no"

Caroline says, "There's been two massacres. Pastor Young's farm is here, and the old Lockwood cellar, where you spitefully slaughtered 12 of your own hybrids, is here. According to the book, the expression triangle is equilateral, putting it here."

Klaus says, "Somebody's been skipping their geometry classes. There are actually two places where the third massacre could be."

Caroline says, "Well, you didn't let me finish" Stefan enters, "Hey. What's going on? Did you find Bonnie?"

Stefan says, "No, but I talked to her dad. I think I found Silas"

   𝘼𝙩 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙬𝙤𝙤𝙙𝙨, 𝙎𝙩𝙚𝙛𝙖𝙣, 𝙎𝙘𝙖𝙧𝙡𝙚𝙩𝙩 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙒𝙞𝙡𝙡 𝙬𝙚𝙧𝙚 𝙖 𝙩𝙚𝙖𝙢, and Caroline and Klaus were the other one.

The trio arrives as the witches are harming Bonnie.

Stefan says, "Stop it. It's not what you think."

Aja says. "This is no place for a vampire or for abominations."

Scarlett ays, "She's working for Silas."

Aja asks, "Silas?"

Stefan explains, "He brainwashed her to kill you. Wait. What are you doing?"

Aja says, "If Silas has her, she's lost. We can't save her."

He tries to stop her, Aja says, "I have the power of 12 witches. You don't stand a chance!" She uses her powers on him and he steps back in the trees. They're rejoined by Klaus and Caroline.

"They're linked. Bonnie's gonna kill them." Scarlett says.

Klaus says, "Not if the witches kill her first." A witch tries to grab a hold of Scarlett and Klaus pulls her back quickly.

Caroline says, "Ugh! Klaus, we need to save her."

Klaus says, "How? The only way to stop the witches is to kill them, and then Silas gets what he wants."

"Call upon the Balance." One of the witches says.

Aja says, "Spirits, take her soul. Free her from darkness." She's about to kill Bonnie "The Balnce-" but Caroline intervenes and kills her. All the witches die along with her

Caroline says, "Bonnie! Bonnie! Bonnie: The triangle is complete."

"She killed witches from the Balance." Scarlett says, sharing a look with Will and Klaus. They both know it's bad. Once the The Balance finds out, if there's one left, they'll want to get even.

Scarlett walked back seeing Klaus being attacked by Silas in Shane's body with the white oak stake.

Scarlett screams throwing Shilas back, she glares as her eyes turn into an amber color.

"Get away from him!" She raises her voice.

"Scarlett Mikaelson to the rescue." Shilas says, admiring her, "You're a powerful one, aren't you?" He asks sarcastically.

"You're not funny." She says giving him a look approaching Klaus, removing the stake. She stands in front of him, in a defense stance. 

"Nice met you." He says approaching her, and Klaus takes her and speeds off.
