*Mystic Falls, Virginia, Morning- The Salvatore Boarding House- The Living Room- A Meeting/Back at The Lockwood Mansion- An Ambush*

Damon is wearing, a purple shirt and black jeans and black boots on. He walks over to the front door and opens it and sees Alaric outside, standing, on the porch, and he lets him in and says with a smile, "Thanks for coming, Ric? Coffee, Bourbon?" Alaric walks in, the living room and sees Stefan and Elena sitting, in a couch near each other. Alaric is wearing, a green jacket, purple and white striped shirt and navy-blue jeans with brown shoes on. He looks back, over to Damon and shakes his head and retorts with a smile, "No. Elena, said that, you need my help?" Damon nods and Alaric sits across from Elena and Stefan in a couch and they inform him, the situation. Stefan is wearing, a light grey shirt and black jeans with black boots on. He speaks and says sternly to Alaric, "Yes, we were hoping, that you could uh, shed some light, on The Lockwood Family?!" Alaric looks surprised and confused.

Mason is wearing, a grey tank top and black shorts, with tennis shoes on and he puts on his earbuds and goes for a run. Tyler is wearing, a black tank top and grey shorts and black tennis shoes on. He follows after him secretly, without Mason's knowledge.

Back at The Salvatore Boarding House, Elena is wearing, a purple top and black sweatpants on with, tennis shoes on. Alaric speaks, and retorts confused, "Now, why would I, know, anything, bout The Lockwood's?" Damon sits in a chair near Stefan and remarks with a smile and says sternly, "You wouldn't, but your dead-not dead vampire wife, might?" Alaric sighs and glares at him upset and Damon smiles and then, Alaric looks over to Elena, upset and feels a bit used now, and she notices and pleads sad, "Isobel's research. From when you, guys were at Duke, together?" He nods and retorts with a smile, "What about it?" She opens her mouth, to say something, but is cut off by Stefan, who asks sternly and recalls with a smile, "You said that, she had spent years here, researching this town?" Alaric nods and reveals sternly, "Isobel's research here, in Mystic Falls, was routed, in Folklore and Legends." They nod in understanding as he continues and admits with a smile, "At the time, I thought, most of it, was Fiction?" Damon nods and remarks with a smile, "Yea, like the amazing, vampire story?" Alaric smiles and says nothing and then Elena interjects and asks curious, "Besides from Vampires, what else?" Alaric smiles and reveals sternly, "The Lycanthropes." Stefan and Damon, look at him, confused now and Elena sighs and figures it out and retorts with a smile, "He means werewolves, guys." Alaric nods and smiles. Damon leans forward, shakes his head and retorts in disbelief, "No. No way, impossible? That is way too, Lon Chaney!" He smiles. Stefan looks over to him and remarks with a smile, "Is it?" Damon glares at him upset and then admits with a smile, "I mean, I've spent a semi 160 years, on this earth and I've never came, across one. If werewolves exist, where the hell, are they?!" He smiles.

*The Woods- The Lockwood Cellar- An Ambush/Back at The Salvatore Boarding House- The Living Room- A Meeting*

Mason is running through the woods and then he stops running and goes over to the old Lockwood Cellar and walks down the steps and Tyler sees from behind a tree.

Back at The Salvatore Boarding House, The Living Room. Alaric speaks and asks confused and says, sternly, "Why do you, suspect The Lockwood Family?" Damon responds and recalls with a smile now, "Because Vervain, didn't affect, The Mayor on Founders Day, but the Gilbert Device, did and it, affected his sons, Tyler and Luke, but not their daughter, Vicki?" Alaric nods and says nothing.

Back in The Woods, Tyler sees Mason leave, with a grin, on his face and runs out the woods, listening to his music, again. Tyler notices and then goes down the steps to the cellar, curious and suspicious, as to what he was up to.

Back at The Salvatore Boarding House, The Living Room. Stefan speaks and admits with a smile, "At the school carnival, their Uncle Mason, exhibited inhuman behavior, when he fought off, one of the carnival workers. So, I suggest, its a supernatural entity?" Alaric nods and says nothing and then Elena speaks and asks sternly, "We were hoping, that Isobel's research, could help us figure out, what it is?" Alaric nods and admits sternly, "Well, her things, are still at Duke. I mean, her office is still there. She's technically, still missing." Damon nods and retorts with a smile, "So, can we, take a road trip and get access to it?" Alaric sighs and says nothing.

Back in The Woods, Inside, The Lockwood Cellar. Tyler is looking around, his surroundings now and its dark inside. Taking pictures of antic objects and sees claw marks scribbled, on the walls. Shackles hung from the ceiling. Wolf collars hung on a shelf, carabiner hooks and metal chains connected together, on the floor. Tyler looks surprised and shocked by, what hes found.

Back at The Salvatore Boarding House, The Living Room. Damon speaks again and says serious, "Ric, we need to know, exactly, what were dealing with?!" Alaric smiles and says nothing as he continues, and retorts upset and remarks with a smile, "If this Wolf Man thing is true, I've seen, enough movies, to know, it's not good..... It means Mason Lockwood is a real-life Lon Chaney Sr. and that little Tyler punk, may just very well, be Lon Chaney, himself.... That other punk, Luke Lockwood is Lon Chaney, Jr. which, means, Bela Lugosi-- meaning me-- is totally screwed."

*The Forbes House- An Ambush*

Matt is wearing, an orange reddish shirt and black pants and black boots on. He's standing outside, on the porch and hes banging, on the door and says sternly, "Caroline, open the door?" He gets no response. Caroline is wearing, a brown jacket, a crème white top, with a brown sequence to it and brown pre-ripped jeggings and crème white boots on. She tries to go, over to the door, but can't because of the sunlight. She stands, at the threshold, to the living room and kitchen and she puts hand out in the sun, and it burns a little and she sighs upset as Matt yells her name again, "Caroline?!" She says nothing and slumps down, to the floor, her back against a wall and she looks sad and bored. He sighs and takes his phone out, calls her and leaves her voicemail, a message and says sternly, 'I thought, Claire, said, you were home? Tyler is hosting a party, at the swimming hole and all. I want us, to spend the day, together. Call me, when you get this?' Matt smiles and leaves.

*The Gilbert's House- Elena's Bedroom- A Meeting/Downstairs- A Meeting*

Elena is packing, her brown coach bag, with necessities and Stefan is sitting, on the bed now and he comments and asks with a smile, "Are you sure, you want to do this?" She nods and remarks sadly, "Which part?" She walks over to him and continues and says sternly, "Digging through, my birth mothers life work? Or going, to Duke with Damon?!" He laughs and retorts sternly, "Either? Both?" She continues packing and admits with a smile, now, "Well, I'm sure, about the first part. But then, again, Ric is a, good buffer? He's my stepdad. We can, finally, bond, personally and also, over our anti-Damon solidary?" He smiles and then she leans forward and admits sadly, "I wish, you were coming, though?" She continues packing and he gets, sighs and walks over to her and admits concerned now and says serious, "Maybe, we should wait, a couple days, huh?" She looks at him surprised and now, confused and as he continues with a smile, "Wait, till Care, is less of a danger and then, I can go with you?" He cups her face, with his hand, and she responds and asks sternly, "Its k, that I'm going, rite? Be honest, cause if its not? I can stay here and help you with Care and Bon?" He shakes his head and admits with a smile, "No. I want you to go, k I do! Claire and I will handle Bonnie and help Caroline. You have questions, about your lineage and bout Katherine? I'm not going to let the fact, that Damon is going keep you, from an opportunity, to get some answers?!" She nods, comments and remarks with a smile, "But you hate it, though?" He nods and admits with a smile, "I hate it!" She laughs and, he smiles and continues, "But I love you." She nods and retorts with a smile, "I love you too." She cups, his face, with her hands and kisses him and he responds to the kiss and pulls her body, into, him.

Downstairs, Alaric and Jenna are talking. Jenna is wearing, a purple, white and blue floral pattern blouse and purple jeans and white boots on. She speaks and comments sternly and says sad, "Its been, awhile?" He nods, sighs and retorts with a smile, "Yea, well, the school, has been, keeping me, busy?" She nods and smiles. Then, takes a step forward to him and says grateful and admits with a smile, "I want you to know, it means a lot, to me, that Elena has a connection, to her mother and that you're both getting, to bond and really connect as well, on this trip. Thanks, for bringing, her along, today." He nods and retorts with a smile, "Yea, well, I thought it was time, to take care of my wife's things, you know and finally, getting to know, my stepdaughter." She nods and says nothing, and he continues and apologizes sadly and comments sternly, "Look Jenna, I know that things, between you and I have been a little start and stop and I'm sorry, about that. Maybe, once I can..." She shakes her head, cuts him off and comments upset, now, "Uh, no. Don't do that! Not the half-ass speech, with a maybe-apology, hope for the future thing?" She smiles and he nods and smiles. She looks, over, to the staircase and yells sternly and confused, "Elena, are you coming?" She gets no response and then, looks back over to Alaric and continues and retorts with a smile, "Do what you need to do, k? Well, see, how, it goes, after that?!" He nods and says with a smile, "K." He looks over to the steps and see Stefan and Elena coming down and he goes to the car and Stefan stops at Jenna and says with a smile, "Hey." She nods and retorts with a smile, "Hey." He nods and leaves, and then, Elena, walks, over to her and sees her sad and comments worried and concerned, "Hey, are you k?" She nods, scoffs with a smile and remarks sternly, "Yea, just men, and their baggage!"

Elena nods and then goes outside, to the car. Damon is standing, in front of it, at his door to the front seat, on the passengers side, with a grin. He looks over to Stefan and remarks with a smile, "I'm sorry, you can't come too, Stef?" Elena opens the side door, to the back seats and throws her bag in and glares at him upset and then looks back, over to Stefan and Stefan looks at him annoyed and then back to her and retorts sternly, "Call me, if you need anything?" Damon interjects and admits with a smile, "Oh, I'll take really, good care of her!" She cups Stefan's face, with her hands and kisses him and he smiles, responds to the kiss and pulls her body, into him as she continues kissing him and runs her fingers through his hair and Damon looks annoyed and jealous now and Stefan breaks the kiss and smiles at her and she smiles too. He opens the door to his seat and retorts tired and sternly, "K, its time to go!" He gets in and shuts the door and then Stefan opens the door for her, and she gets in, and retorts with a smile, "Thank you." He nods and closes it and Alaric takes off and drives down on the road.

*Back at The Lockwood Mansion- Richard's Office- A Meeting/An Ambush*

Carol Lockwood is sitting, in Richard's chair, behind his desk, filling out, paper work and Tyler is now, holding a glass of water, in his hand and he looks over to her and asks sternly and curious, "Have you, every been down, to those old ruins, in the woods?" She responds and says surprised and retorts in shock, "The Old Lockwood Estate?" He nods, faces her and retorts sternly, "What do you know, bout it?" He walks over to her as she responds and admits sadly, "It was the original plantation house..." He takes a sip of her drink as she continues and retorts with a smile, "Beautiful Antebellum Architecture and if it hadn't burned, to the ground, approximately, three years ago? We'd probably, be living in it." He nods and retorts with a smile, "Hmm, so, whats the deal, with the freaky, underground cellar?" She looks at him astonished and he notices and sits on a chair as she responds and admits sternly, "We don't talk about, those kinds of rooms!" He nods, and retorts confused, "Why not?" She responds and says sadly, "Well, this is the south, Honey and it was used, during the time, of Slavery." He sighs and nods in understanding and then Mason walks in and says with a smile, "Hey, what are you guys, talking about? Tyler nods, stands and admits with a smile, "We were just talking about, the old Lockwood property." Mason glares at him upset now and then back over to Carol, with a smile and Tyler looks over to her and admits with a smile, "I'm thinking, bout throwing, a little party, at the swimming hole?" She looks at him astonished and retorts upset, "Well, be careful and keep it, small! If anything happens, on the property, the family is liable, meaning me!" Tyler nods and assures her, with a smile, "Of course, Mom." He leaves and Mason smiles as she looks over to him, comments about Tyler and remarks with a smile, "That boy is going to be, the death of me, isn't he?!" Mason nods, laughs and massages her shoulders and informs her sternly, "I'll keep an eye, on things, Carol and make sure, it doesn't, get, out, of hand and that he, doesn't, mis-behave himself?!" She nods and retorts with a smile, "Thank you, Mason."

*The Mystic Grill- A Meeting*

Stefan, Claire and Bonnie are sitting, at a table and they talk, about Caroline. Stefan is sitting, across from Bonnie and Claire. Bonnie is wearing, a white and red floral dress and white sandals on. She speaks and admits with a smile, "I don't know how, to make a Daylight Ring?" Stefan responds and says sternly, "Emily made mine and Damon's too. The Instructions, must be, in her grimoire?" Claire is now, wearing, a brown jacket vest, with no shirt underneath, brown pre-ripped jeggings and brown boots on. Claire glares at her, upset as she shakes her head and remarks with a smile, "Doesn't mean, that I can cast the spell!" Claire responds and retorts with a smile, "Cut the crap, Bonnie, we both know, you can do it!" Bonnie looks over to her and retorts with a smile, "Is that right, Claire?" Claire nods and Bonnie continues and informs her serious, "What makes you, so sure? You have no idea, what I'm capable of!" Stefan sighs as Claire responds and admits with a smile, "I knew, what, you were, before you even tapped, into your magical abilities." Bonnie looks at her surprised and shocked as she now, continues and informs her serious, "You have no idea, what I'm capable, of either!" Bonnie grabs her by the arm and gets a flash of how she triggered her wolf curse and she feels how strong her magic is. Claire now smiles at the scared expression, on her face as she removes her hand and she responds and comments in shock, "You're a witch? You have magic too?" Claire nods and retorts with a smile, "I am and I'm also a werewolf, just like my sister, which I'm sure, you felt, last night? Am I right?!" Bonnie nods and says sternly, "Yes." Stefan comments annoyed and retorts tired now, "Are ya'll done, antagonizing, each other?" Bonnie nods and Claire says nothing and Stefan sighs and retorts to Bonnie, with a smile, "You know, how to drop vampires, with a single look, k? I think, you can figure it, out?!" Bonnie sighs and retorts upset and says sad, "Caroline killed somebody, Stefan. My boyfriend, he was innocent!" Claire looks at her surprised by this, information as Bonnie continues and retorts tired, "I'm not, going to make it, easier for Care, to do it, again!" Stefan shakes his head and assures her, sternly and says serious, "No. We're not making it, easier for her, we're just giving her, the chance to survive?" Bonnie says nothing as he continues and admits sad, "Every day, that she is cut off, from her own life, from you, Matt, Elena and her sister? It'll make things, that much harder for her, to keep it together and to hold onto her Humanity?!" Bonnie sighs and asks sternly, "How do you know, she won't hurt, anyone else?" Stefan shakes his head and admits sadly, uncertain, "I don't, but if we don't do everything, we can to help her? Or at least, trust the fact that, she can keep it together." Bonnie glares at him as he continues, "We might, as, well, just, stake her, right, now?" Claire responds and says sternly, and, retorts sad, "Bon, she's my sister and I love her. I'm not going to let anything, bad happen, to her or let her, hurt anybody else? I'm going to help her, with her werewolf transformation, whilst Stefan helps her, with her vampire transition." Bonnie looks surprised and says nothing as she continues, "Tonight, is a full moon and Caroline should be able to transform, under the stars, in the woods. Not confined in the house!"

She says nothing, smacks his hand off, her leg upset and looks away, from him and out the window, bored. He puts his hand, back on her leg and Alaric comments upset now, "Damon, leave her alone!" He laughs and comments with a smile, "That sounded, very paternal of you, Ric?" Alaric glares at him and Damon sighs and removes his hand and continues to her, "This whole, 'Pretending to hate me act?', is getting old and very silly?" She says nothing and Alaric laughs, scoffs with a smile and retorts sternly, now, "I don't think, she's pretending or that its an act? You did forcefully kiss her and then when, Jeremy tried to intervene and help her, you killed him? Not to mention, you've also killed me, as well!" Damon nods, sighs and now, retorts with a smile, "There is a huge adjudicate to that statement, I apologized and the both of you two, came back to life!" She nods and retorts upset and recalls with a smile, "Yea, thanks, to a ring, you didn't know, my brother was wearing?!" He responds and asks with a smile, "Why are you, so sure, I didn't know?" She looks over to him and asks sternly, "Did you?!" He looks over to her and says with a smile, "Yes, Elena." She glares at him, not buying it and retorts with a smile, "You're lying!" Alaric smiles as she looks away, from him again and he responds and remarks with a smile, "Elena, I saw, the ring? Its a big, tacky thing, its hard to miss!" She says nothing and Alaric sighs upset.
