[Salvatore's House]
(Elena and Stefan are training)
Stefan: And?
Elena: That did nothing for me. How was it for you?
Stefan: Again. Good. Now, focus on letting it go
Elena: Or we could skip the sublimating part and you can tell me where she is so that I can rip her head off
Stefan: I don't know where Katherine is and even if I did, I wouldn't tell you
Elena: Stefan, you're the one who told me to channel all of my emotions into one single feeling.
Stefan: I realize that. I just figured it would be love, or hope, or compassion. Not unwavering hatred for a ruthless vampire that's 500 years older than you. Give me 50 pull-ups
Elena: You wanted to kill Klaus when you got your emotions back
Stefan: I know and I couldn't
Elena: You don't think I can kill Katherine?
Stefan: I don't think you really want to
Elena: Maybe you're right. Maybe I just want to feel the warmth of her chest cavity as I rip out her heart and watch her face as she realizes I took it from her. Nah, I just want to kill her. It's that simple. I'm gonna go shower
[Mystic Grill]
(Rebekah is at the bar with Matt)
Rebekah: So, let me get this straight. You send out a notice of your impending graduation, and people feel obliged to give you money?
Matt: Pretty much
Rebekah: Sounds brilliant. Why aren't you participating?
Matt: I don't have a whole lot of family
Rebekah: Well, that makes two of us. Besides, I don't think it was my mother's dream to see me in a cap and gown. How about your mom?
Matt: Let's just say I'm not holding my breath for a graduation check
(Caroline and Elena are sitting on a table outside)
Caroline: Stamp, please. Thank you
Elena: You don't have to pretend to be nice to me, Caroline. I know this is just a ploy to keep me distracted
Caroline: You're done? I'm only on my second batch
Elena: We have family friends in Denver. Other than that, no one cares that I'm graduating. And to be honest, neither do I
Caroline: You know, that's how you feel now, but once you get through this hating Katherine phase...
Elena: Wait. Do you know where Katherine is?
Caroline: No. Why would I know where she is?
Elena: Yeah, but Caroline, if you did, you would tell me, right?
Caroline: Elena, you're obsessing
Elena: Caroline, listen to me. If you know where Katherine is, you have to tell me
Caroline: I don't. Elena... Chill.
[The Woods]
(Bonnie and Katherine are in the woods)
Katherine: Hello! Could you be any creepier? Why are we here?
Bonnie: You want me to make you truly immortal so that nothing can kill you. To do that, I need to talk to Qetsiyah, which means I need to lower the veil to the other side
Katherine: That still doesn't explain why you made me trudge through mud in $500 boots
Bonnie: A few miles that way, 12 hybrids were killed at the Lockwood cellar. And a few Miles that way, 12 humans died at the Young farm. And this is the site where 12 witches were killed
Katherine: 13 if you don't get to the point
Bonnie: It's the expression triangle. I need to charge all 3 points and channel the mystical energy from Silas's tombstone. Once that happens, I can drop the veil inside the 3 points and just long enough to get what I need
Katherine: And what exactly do you need?
Bonnie: Silas has done nothing but torment my friends. Now he wants to unleash hell on earth. He's evil. In 2,000 years, only one person has been able to put him down
Katherine: Let me guess. Qetsiyah
Bonnie: If I can contact her, I can ask her how to do it. Now hand me the rock
Katherine: You're gonna flood Mystic Falls with dead, supernatural creatures so that you can ask a 2,000-year-old witch not one but two favors? Ha! I think I'll take my business elsewhere
(She can't leave)
Katherine: What the hell?
Bonnie: I linked us. Which means you're stuck with me for the day. Silas can be anyone. If he gets in your head and figures out I don't need a full moon to do the spell, it's over. Now, about that tombstone
[Mystic Falls' Hospital]
(Stefan rejoins Damon)
Damon: You just missed the donuts
Stefan: Yeah, I was with Elena burning off a few thousand hate-filled calories. What happened to you helping me?
Damon: Help? Yes. Prolonging the inevitable, waste of my time
Stefan: Hmm. You're avoiding. How unexpected
Damon: I'm not avoiding. Elena's only goal is to end Katherine's life, and that's not gonna just magically disappear with Pilates and a juice cleanse
(Liz rejoins them)
Liz: Hey, guys. Thanks for coming
Damon: Hey. Why were we invited?
Liz: Well, the hospital has kept the blood banks empty ever since they were raided last month. We thought at the very least, it would help keep the vampire population away
Stefan: And it didn't?
Liz: See for yourself
(They go to a room)
Liz: There were 4 other victims in this wing. Each one almost completely drained of blood. You think it's Silas?
Damon: Or a doctor with some very questionable bedside manner
Liz: But 5 victims? It's a lot of blood and it's not like he can take it with him
Stefan: Unless he's fueling up for something big
Liz: Big? Any details would be helpful, considering I'm dealing with 5 grieving families out there and a psychic killer on the loose
Damon: Silas wants Bonnie to do a spell to drop the veil from the other side
Liz: I have no idea what that means
Damon: It's an invisible wall that separates our plane from the plane of all dead supernatural creatures. Now, Silas wants that to go away so he can take the cure, die, and not have to spend an eternity in a supernatural purgatory
Liz: And when do you suppose Silas plans on doing this?
Damon: Next full moon. Tomorrow night
[Old Lockwood Cellar]
(Bonnie and Katherine arrive)
Katherine: Ugh. That old Lockwood cellar reeks of wet dog. I'll be staying up here
Bonnie: You obviously don't know how this works
(They enter)
Katherine: You realize I'm not just some wandering child in a supermarket, right? I'm a vampire that can kill you
Bonnie: Whatever happens to me happens to you. Do you really think I want you here?
Katherine: And what is here? Oh. Right. 12 dead hybrids. This should be good
[Mystic Grill]
(Caroline, Rebekah and Matt are at the bar)
Caroline: Is it supposed to rain tonight?
Rebekah: Do I look like a meteorologist?
(They look at Elena)
Caroline: Someone needs to do something, before she explodes
Rebekah: I got this
(She rejoins Elena)
Rebekah: Drink. You're putting everyone on edge. So. What's the deal? I'm new to this whole emotional switch situation
Elena: It's not complicated. See that dart board? All I can picture is Katherine's face
Rebekah: So, your emotions are on, they're just dialed to rage
Elena: Look, Rebekah, I get that we had our Thelma and Louise thing back when I had my humanity off, but let me make one thing clear... We're not friends
(Caroline rejoins them)
Caroline: What about us? Are we still friends? All those things you said when your humanity was off, is that how you really feel?
Elena: Caroline, I really don't feel like going down memory lane
Caroline: Well, what about when you said, and I quote, "you're a repulsive, blood-sucking, control freak monster"? Did you really mean those things?
Elena: If you're waiting for an apology, you're not gonna get one. I can't let myself feel bad, because if I feel bad, then I feel everything, and... We've all seen how well I handle that
(The power's out. They go outside)
Rebekah: The power's completely out
Caroline: I'll call my mom! Maybe she knows what's going on
[The Young Farm]
Bonnie: 12 humans burned to death here. They died in vain for Silas
Katherine: What did you do?
Bonnie: I linked the final hot spot. It's time to drop the veil
[Mystic Falls' Hospital]
(Damon, Liz and Stefan are looking at a map)
Liz: The power outages originated at 3 different places in town... the Young farm, the Lockwood estate, and a blown transformer off old Miller Road
Stefan: These are the locations of the Silas massacres. It's the expression triangnle. Bonnie must be doing the spell
Damon: So much for needing a full moon
Liz: I know something else. One of the power company guys has a daughter who goes to school with Bonnie. He saw her leaving the Young farm an hour ago with Elena
Stefan: But Caroline's with Elena
Damon: Looks like Bonnie Bennett has a new doppelganger friend
Liz: So, how do we find them?
Stefan: Well, they must be somewhere in the triangle. My guess is right in the middle
Damon: And where exactly might that be?
[Mystic Falls' High School]
(Damon and Stefan arrive. Elena rejoins them)
Stefan: Where's Caroline?
Elena: Inside looking for Bonnie. I think we should split up. Damon and I can look outside while you and Caroline look inside
Stefan: All right. Let me know if you find anything
(He leaves)
Damon: Someone's an eager beaver
Elena: Where's Katherine?
Damon: Now I get it. One brother shoots you down, you ask the other one. Great
Elena: You know, don't you?
Damon: Do you not notice all the end of the world crap going on right now?
Elena: Tell me that you don't want her dead. After everything that she did to you. Stringing you along for hundreds of years
Damon: Elena, we don't need to list all the reasons that I hate Katherine. What we need to do is find Bonnie. Come on
Elena: I don't care about Bonnie. I care about killing Katherine
Damon: They're together. Ok? So maybe you should do a little less threatening and a little more looking. Come on
(Stefan rejoins Caroline in the cafeteria)
Stefan: Hey. There you are. Any luck?
Caroline: I searched the whole school. She should be here
(They hear a noise)
Caroline: What was that?
(They go in the cold room)
Stefan: Hmm. Ice is melting
Caroline: It just doesn't make any sense. This is the center of the triangle. If she's gonna do the spell, she has to do it here. This is where they should be
Stefan: Actually, I think we're in the right place. Just the wrong elevation
(Bonnie and Katherine are in the caves below the school)
Bonnie: Ok. This is the center of the triangle. I'm ready. Now give me the tombstone
Katherine: The fact that this spell hinges on some crappy hunk of blood-rock does little to inspire my confidence
Bonnie: It's filled with the calcified blood of Qetsiyah, one of the strongest witches in the world
(Damon is on the phone with Stefan)
Damon: If I remember correctly, I think there's an entrance in the basement
Stefan: Where's the basement?
Elena: Off the boiler room
Damon: You hear that? I'll meet you there
(He hangs up and looks at Elena)
Damon: You're gonna have to stay here
Elena: Are you kidding me?
Damon: We really need to stop Bonnie from doing this spell, and if you get all murderous and screw it up...
Elena: Is that really the reason?
Damon: As self-righteous as Stefan is, he has a point. Behind your rage, there is a tidal wave of feelings. All of your guilt, all your grief. Every emotion you've ever put off. And killing Katherine's gonna let it all in, and if you can't handle it, then we're back to square one
Elena: And if I can? What if killing Katherine takes away all that grief and guilt? What if killing Katherine finally lets me feel all the good things that I've lost? Damon, help me. As soon as I get over this hurdle, I'll be me. I'll be able to think clearly. I'll be myself and everything will go back to normal
Damon: She's strong. And crafty. And you'll die
Elena: Then at least I'll die trying
(Bonnie is doing the spell)
Katherine: What is happening?
Bonnie: I'm channeling the expression triangle. It's done. The veil is down
(Damon Is lying on the ground. Alaric appears)
Alaric: Need a hand?
Damon: So, this is either really good or really bad
Alaric: It's good to see you, too, Damon
Damon: I'd say the feeling was mutual, except a lot of people aren't exactly who they say they are around here
Alaric: You think I'm Silas? Are you kidding me?
Damon: Uhh. See, this puts us in a bit of a pickle, 'cause that is exactly what Silas would say
Alaric: Now, would Silas know about locker 42?
(Damon embraces him)
Damon: Hang on. If I can see you, and I can touch you that means the little witch did it. She dropped the veil
Alaric: Well, not completely. It's only down inside the expression triangle. If I step outside of it, it's back to ghost world
Damon: Where's everybody? I figure with the veil down, it'd be like ghost-a-palooza
Alaric: Not every ghost has a reason to come back to Mystic Falls. Just the ones like me, looking out for their idiot best friends
Damon: I'm more worried about the ones looking out for their enemies
[Mystic Grill]
(Matt and Rebekah are alone)
Matt: This wind is weird. One minute it was blowing like a hurricane. Now nothing, not even a breeze
Rebekah: Looks like something wicked finally came
Matt: You know, you don't have to be here. I mean, technically, one of us is getting paid
Rebekah: But it's fun. And kind of cozy. With the storm outside and the candlelight. And us
(Someone enters)
Rebekah: Oh, my God. Kol
Kol: Greetings from the dead. So, who fancies a drink?
Rebekah: I thought I'd never see you again
Kol: Spare me the waterworks, sister. I've already watched you grieve. Lasted a full 24 hours, remember?
Matt: I'm assuming this means Bonnie dropped the veil
Kol: Not completely, and not for long. But who am I to give up an opportunity for revenge? My killer's already dead, but his sister's just as culpable. So maybe you could help me find her
Matt: If you hurt Elena...
Kol: Oh... I'm going to. But please, continue. I'm curious as to where you're going with this
Rebekah: You've made your point, Kol. Leave
Kol: First tell me where I can find Elena
Rebekah: She left here hours ago. We don't know where she is. Now get out
Kol: I see you finally got the quarterback to pay attention to you. How's the throwing arm, champ?
[Mystic Falls' High School]
(Katherine and Bonnie are still in the caves)
Katherine: Tick tock, Bonnie
Bonnie: Stop talking. I can't reach out to Qetsiyah with you breaking my concentration every 5 seconds
Katherine: Bonnie. Did you hear that? Someone's coming
Bonnie: Will you be quiet?
Katherine: I have vampire hearing, Bonnie, and there's someone here. Unlink me so that I can go stall them while we wait for Qetsiyah to show up
Bonnie: I'm not letting you go
Katherine: Then at least give me some slack
Bonnie: Fine. Go. Stop them
(Katherine is in the tunnels)
Katherine: Silas? Come and get me
(Elena arrives)
Elena: Hello, Katherine
Katherine: I let you out of your cage and this is how you thank me?
Elena: No. This is how I thank you
(Bonnie is screaming. Stefan and Caroline enter)
Stefan: Bonnie. Bonnie, what happened?
Bonnie: Katherine. Find Katherine. We're linked
Caroline: Then unlink her. You go. I'll stay with Bonnie
(Elena is still fighting with Katherine)
Elena: You have done nothing but suck the happiness out of my life. Uhh. Well, now I get to kill you
Katherine: No, wait, please
Elena: Good-bye, Katherine
(Stefan intervenes)
Elena: Stefan!
Katherine: Thanks for the save, handsome
Stefan: Get the hell out of here before I kill you myself
Katherine: Really? I'm your biggest problem right now?
[SCENE_BREAK]
[Mystic Grill]
(Rebekah is taking care of Matt)
Rebekah: You know, I could just cure this for you easily, right?
Matt: I'll be fine
Rebekah: Why won't you ever let me help you?
Matt: It's not you, it's... Look, people in this town have a bad habit of turning into vampires and I'd like to graduate High School as a human. I think there's a first aid kit in the back
Rebekah: Ok
(She goes in the back and finds Caroline)
Rebekah: Caroline, how are you still here... Oh my god
Caroline: I have to keep cutting
[Mystic Falls' High School]
(Caroline is with Bonnie)
Caroline: Bonnie, are you ok?
Bonnie: Yeah, now that I unlinked her
Caroline: What are you doing down here?
Bonnie: Waiting for Qetsiyah
Caroline: You might be waiting a while. Qetsiyah's not coming, Bonnie
Bonnie: But... I saw Caroline. How? I thought you couldn't get inside my head
Silas: That's what I wanted you to think. I can make you see whatever I want you to see. Am I a disfigured monster? Of course not. A monster is what I wanted you to see. That's the beauty of all this. You have no idea who I am. Or what I look like. Or how deep I am inside of your head. You thought that you were more powerful than me? I'm stronger than you can imagine. I defeated the hunter's curse in minutes. You thought that you could betray me. You can't. I will always be one step ahead
(Stefan is still with Elena)
Elena: How could you save her? She was as good as dead
Stefan: Yeah, and so was Bonnie. Bonnie used a spell to link herself to Katherine, so if you killed her, Bonnie would be dead, too
Elena: How do you know that?
Stefan: Because I saw her, Elena. You almost killed your best friend
Elena: I don't believe you
Stefan: Really?
Elena: You never wanted me to kill Katherine. Why are you protecting her, Stefan?
Stefan: Listen to yourself. Your rage is making you crazy
Elena: Do you still have feelings for her?
Stefan: This isn't even about Katherine. This is about Jeremy. What, you think that killing her will take all that pain away? It won't
Elena: Oh, but beating up cinder blocks will?
Stefan: No. It's a distraction. Just like killing Katherine, just like turning your emotions off. The truth is, there are no shortcuts. You are a vampire, Elena. Loss is part of the deal. Look, I've been alive for 163 years. I have lost more loved ones than I can count and it hurts me every single time
Elena: So, there's no hope. You're saying I'm hopeless
Stefan: No. I'm saying you have to face your grief. But you don't have to do it alone. I can help you
Elena: Oh, of course you can. God, Stefan, always trying to help and your concern for me is just like...
Stefan: You're transferring some rage on me. That's good
Elena: I don't need to transfer anything. I can hate two people just fine
Stefan: Elena...
Elena: Just like the cinder block. Nothing
[Mystic Grill]
(Rebekah is trying to help Caroline)
Rebekah: Caroline, hey. Snap out of it
Caroline: I need to bleed. Silas wants me to bleed
Rebekah: Stop it. You're hallucinating
Caroline: Just let me do this. I need to do this
Rebekah: You're going to cut your hand's off
(Matt is on the phone with Damon)
Matt: She's been here the whole time. That means Silas is with you
Damon: Perfect
Matt: Yeah, it gets worse. The veil's down. Kol came by looking for Elena. Seemed a little pissed
Damon: Do you have any good news for me, Donovan?
Matt: We'll handle this. .Just watch your back
[Mystic Falls' High School]
(Damon is with Alaric)
Damon: Call Stefan. Tell him about Caroline. Tell him to keep an eye on Elena. God knows he'll do a better job than me
Alaric: Stefan? Isn't she your girlfriend?
Damon: Who knows? I know she was sired to me. I know her emotions were off. I know she's so full of rage she wants to rip Katherine's head off...
Alaric: But you have no idea how she feels about you and now you're freaking out
Damon: Call Stefan
[Mystic Grill]
Matt: Have you tried compelling her?
Rebekah: I can't. She's on vervain
Caroline: Let me go!
Rebekah: Look, Caroline, you're graduating and Uncle Bob and Aunt Mary really want you to graduate with both your hands
Caroline: I need to keep cutting. I need to keep cutting. I need to keep cutting
Rebekah: Stop!
Caroline: Bitch!
Rebekah: That is the Caroline I know and loathe
[Mystic Falls' High School]
Bonnie: Stay away from me
Caroline/Silas: Gladly. Once you finish the spell. Then when the veil is dropped completely, I can take the cure. I just want to pass on, Bonnie. I'll even let you kill me. I'll be out of your life for good
Bonnie: But every dead supernatural creature will be roaming the earth
Caroline/Silas: Well, if you don't help me, I'll be roaming the earth
Bonnie: I was never gonna drop the veil
Caroline/Silas: I'm curious. What was your plan? Pow-wow with Qetsiyah? Brainstorm ways to put me down? Qetsiyah's not coming. She wants me on the other side with her. For eternity
Damon: Bonnie? Bonnie?
Caroline/Silas: That sounds familiar
(He takes Alaric's appearance)
Alaric/Silas: Maybe Damon will convince you
Bonnie: I won't let you...
Caroline/Silas: You won't let me what? You feel that, Bonnie? The air. Thinning. Barely enough to breathe
[Mystic Falls' Cemetery]
(Elena goes to Jeremy's grave)
Elena: '"Brother and friend"? What genius came up with that one? I give up, Jer. I really wanted to kill her for you, but... There's no point. Stefan's right. It's just a distraction. And... I can't. I can't do this. I can't... I can't move on, and I don't want to. If that makes me weak, then fine, I'm weak. But I can't handle you... I can't handle you being gone... And I can't handle feeling like this anymore
(Kol arrives)
Kol: Hello, old friend. Pity about your brother. Guess it's just me against you now
[Mystic Falls' High School]
(Bonnie can't barely breathe. Sheila appears)
Sheila: Bonnie. This isn't real, Bonnie. Feel the air in your lungs. Break through
Bonnie: Silas?
Sheila: Would Silas try and save your life? Now, breathe, child. There
Bonnie: I was so worried about you
Sheila: I know but I'm okay. I've been watching over you
Bonnie: I messed up. I'm sorry
Sheila: You can still stop Silas
Bonnie: No, I can't. Qetsiyah was able to immobilize him so he couldn't feed and get into people's heads. I don't know how to do that. I don't know how to put him down
Sheila: You can do that. Expression is the manifestation of your will. You can do anything. I don't like it, but sometimes, there are no choices. But you are strong enough. You can do this
(Damon is in the caves and stumbles upon Alaric)
Alaric: Whoa. It's just me. I called Stefan. He's heading for Elena. Did you find Silas?
Damon: Yup
Alaric: Oh! Damon, it's me!
Damon: No, you're not. I've spent more time in these tunnels than I care to admit and there's no way you just came from the school. Your mind games don't work on me, Silas
(Bonnie arrives)
Bonnie: I may not be able to kill you, but I will stop you. I will make the blood clot in your veins. I will make every bone, muscle, and joint in your body turn to stone
Damon: What the hell is happening?
Bonnie: He can't hide behind his mind control anymore. He's becoming his true self
Damon: Who exactly might his true self be?
Bonnie: I guess we'll never know
[Mystic Falls' Cemetery]
(Kol and Elena are fighting)
Kol: Now, this is what I've missed. Two people connecting. It's lonely on the other side. I swear, being invisible will drive you mad. The way you couldn't see me standing in front of you, or feel my breath on your cheek as I whispered all the ways that I wished for you to suffer. But at least, now you can
Elena: Go ahead, Kol. Kill me. You'll be doing me a favor
Kol: As you wish, darling
(Jeremy appears)
Jeremy: How many times do I need to kill you?
Kol: Jeremy Gilbert. You're back. Now, what's the saying? Kill me once, shame on you, kill me twice, shame on...
(Stefan intervenes and breaks his neck)
Stefan: Let's leave it at that, shall we?
(Jeremy rushes toward Elena)
Jeremy: Elena?! Elena?
Elena: Jeremy
[The Woods]
(Damon and Stefan are with Bonnie)
Bonnie: You need to get rid of Silas's body
Damon: Well, there's a slight problem, Medusa. Even though you turned him into stone, if he gets one more drop of blood, he's back to his old mind tricks
Stefan: All right. So, let's do what we should've done to Klaus. Let's drop his body in the middle of the ocean
(Elena and Jeremy rejoin them)
Elena: Bonnie... I don't know what to say
Bonnie: You don't have to say anything
Elena: I was so horrible to you
Bonnie: You weren't you. I know what that's like. I wasn't me for a long time. We can talk about that later. You got some catching up to do
Jeremy: thank you Bonnie
Bonnie: I'll give you guys as much time as I can... But I have to go put the veil back up
Stefan: I should make sure Kol's body is somewhere safe until the veil goes back up
Elena: Stefan...
Stefan: Welcome back
(He leaves. She looks at Damon)
Elena: There isn't enough time
Damon: It'll never be enough time
Elena: Damon, I'm sorry
Damon: Stop. The most important thing right now is Jeremy. And saying good-bye
[Mystic Grill]
(Stefan enters. Caroline's here)
Caroline: Good. You're here. We need to celebrate
Stefan: Yeah, I'm not really in the mood to... celebrate
Caroline: What's wrong with you? Silas is dead, or whatever, and you're just sitting here like a bump on a log
Stefan: There was someone that I thought I would see today, and... I didn't. That's all
(Lexi enters)
Lexi: You better mean me
Stefan: You've got to be kidding me
(She looks at Caroline)
Lexi: Thank you for keeping an eye on this one
[The Woods]
(Damon puts Silas in the trunk)
Damon: Calcified Silas is a heavy son of a bitch
Alaric: Can't think of a more appropriate way to spent my last moments as a semi-living person
Damon: Oh, I'm sorry. You have someplace better to be?
Alaric: Guess not
Damon: Thought you were cutting back
Alaric: Yeah, well... I thought you were gonna take care of the children
Damon: You heard that? That's not creepy
Alaric: I... Found this in the dead guy's pocket. Thought it might do more use here than, say, 3 miles below sea level
Damon: What the hell am I supposed to do with this?
Alaric: Get the girl
[A street]
(Stefan and Lexi are walking)
Lexi: She punched you in the face?
Stefan: Yep
Lexi: Ha ha ha! Take a hint
Stefan: So, you've been back what, 5 minutes, and you're already laughing at me?
Lexi: No. I've been laughing at you for a while. You just haven't been able to see me
Stefan: Do you have any idea how much I missed you?
Lexi: Trust me. I do. Although I see I've been replaced by another blonde
Stefan: What'd you give me that look for?
Lexi: She's cute
Stefan: Do not start
[Mystic Falls' High School]
(Bonnie is back in the cave with Sheila)
Sheila: You have to put up the veil
Bonnie: Not yet
Sheila: What are you doing, Bonnie?
Bonnie: I can bring Jeremy back. I can keep him here
Sheila: No, you can't
Bonnie: Elena needs him. This was always the plan. Jeremy wasn't supposed to die
Sheila: It was the will of nature. There is no magic in this world that is strong enough to challenge it
Bonnie: I have every magic. I have the spirits
(She casts a spell)
Sheila: stop it!
Bonnie: I have expression
Sheila: Stop it, Bonnie
Bonnie: And I have the darkness
Sheila: Bonnie, stop
(Bonnie continues to cast the spell)
[Mystic Grill]
(Matt and Rebekah are outside)
Matt: In case Caroline didn't thank you for pulling her out of that hallucination earlier... Thanks
Rebekah: I'm just glad I got a chance to knock her upside the face
(She sees someone)
Rebekah: Oh, my god
Matt: Who the hell is that?
Rebekah: That is my ex-boyfriend Alexander. He's a vampire hunter. Thank God. The power's coming back. Maybe that means the veil's almost up and he'll disappear again
Matt: Or not
Rebekah: We should get out of here
(They turn themselves. Connor and Vaughn are here)
Connor: You should
Vaughn: Too bad you can't
[Mystic Falls' High School]
(Bonnie wakes up. Sheila is here)
Sheila: I'm sorry, Bonnie. The spell. It was just too much
Bonnie: Oh, my God. I'm dead

"Wipe Out" 29th Episode of Roswell
Production Code: 2ADA07
[SCENE_BREAK]
(Episode begins with a tour bus heading towards Roswell)
(At the Evans household, Diane Evans is trying out her cooking skills)
Diane: It's a frijoles frittata. Martha Stewart serves it to her guests in the Hamptons. So. Um...Phillip! It's gonna get cold! Get in here!
Max: Who needs a nice big glass of juice?
Isabel: I'll get it.
Max: I warned you about getting her a subscription to that magazine. How long are you gonna keep avoiding me?
Isabel: I'm not avoiding you. We destroyed a race of people. I'm just trying to get past it. Juice?
Max: You sure there's nothin' else?
Isabel: I'm sure. Thanks.
(The tour bus keeps heading closer to Roswell)
(Kyle and Sheriff Valenti are fishing. Kyle appears to have caught a fish)
Kyle: Dad. Dad. There.
Sheriff: Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
Kyle: Ohhh...
Sheriff: Ok. Take it easy. Take...whoa, whoa.
Kyle: It's, like, gonna break this thing.
Sheriff: Just bring it in closer.
Kyle: Ok, I'm tryin'. I'm tryin'. But I need your help. It's like...
Sheriff: All right, a little closer.
Kyle: There we go. There we go. There we go.
(Sheriff Valenti gets the fish off of the hook)
Sheriff: Whoo-hoo! Oh, man! Heh heh heh hoo!
Kyle: Ok, look out.
Sheriff: Whoa! The bagley bang-o-lure does it every time. Here you go. Get a good grip.
Kyle: Whoa!
Sheriff: We'll be eatin' like kings tonight.
Kyle: That's gorgeous. That's beautiful!
Sheriff: Ho! Ha ha!
(Kyle releases the fish back into the stream)
Kyle: Go, buddy.
(Sheriff Valenti is dumbfounded by what Kyle just did. He was looking forward to eating that fish)
Kyle: It's the circle, dad. The circle of life.
(Switch to Liz and Maria in Maria's Jetta)
Liz: Would you step on it, please? My dad is gonna implode if we don't get this thing back by the lunch rush.
Maria: It's your first day back in uniform. We have one break in an 8 hour shift, and the man sends us 30 miles out of town on an errand.
Liz: Well, he let us stay on the clock.
Maria: I'm sorry, Liz. I love your father dearly. I do. But this is totally Kathie Lee.
(We see a billboard sign for the UFO center. It's been defaced, with a glowing green rod stuck through it. A green pulse from the rod is shot at Roswell)
(Back in Evans household, Mrs. Evans asks Max about Liz while everyone tries out her cooking)
Diane: Max, how's that cute Liz Parker, honey? She hasn't called here in awhile.
Max: Could I please have some more fritatta?
Diane: Oh, sure, honey! I'm so glad you like it!
(Diane Evans goes to get another serving of fritatta for Max, when the plate that she was carrying drops to the floor. She's disappeared)
Isabel: Mom?
(Liz and Maria, who were outside of Roswell when the green pulse went off, arrive in town to find cars stopped in the middle of the road)
Maria: Why are all these cars stopped?
Liz: What's going on? Maria, w-what's going on--Maria!
(Maria swerves into a baby stroller)
Maria: Oh, God! I didn't see it! It was just...it was just there, and I was going too fast.
(Liz and Maria check the stroller, but there isn't any baby in it. Liz looks around and notices a lawn mower going around in circles without a driver)
Liz: What? What?! Oh, my gosh, look!
Maria: What?!
Liz: Where is everybody?
(The bus arrives in Roswell. Tourists start stepping out, including Nicholas. It's apparent now that the bus is full of skins)
Skin Tour Guide: Welcome to Roswell, New Mexico, folks...UFO capital of the world and last stop on our tour. Everyone, remember their sunscreen while you're out and about.
Skin Tourist: Thank you.
Nicholas: Let's find some aliens.
(Opening credits)
(We see Sheriff Valenti and Kyle driving back to Roswell. They stop at a billboard of the UFO Center that has been defaced)
Sheriff (on radio): Deputy Hanson, we've got some property defacement up by the Chaparral Turnout. I need you to rustle up a ladder and, uh, take care of it.
Sheriff: You could've told me you didn't want to go fishing.
Kyle: No, I did. I wanted to fish. I just...it's just now I enjoy it from a different perspective.
Sheriff: Different seems to be the story of your life these days. The guys don't come over to watch games anymore. You hang wind chimes in my backyard, burn compost sticks in the kitchen.
Sheriff (on radio): Hanson!
Kyle: It's called ylang-ylang, and it opens the mind.
Sheriff: You know what? If you laid off the mumbo jumbo, you might get a date every once in awhile.
Sheriff (on radio): Hanson!
Kyle: Any other areas where'd you like to point out my incompetency, dad, or is the list complete at fishing and dating?
Sheriff (on radio): Hanson, if I get back to the station and find you sipping a damn frappuccino...
Sheriff: My one day off!
(Sheriff gets in his car and starts driving into Roswell)
(Meanwhile, at the Evans household, Isabel has searched upstairs and can't find either of her parents)
Isabel: I can't find dad. Max? Max! Max!
(Max opens the door and enters)
Isabel: Where were you?
Max: The neighbor's house is empty, too.
Isabel: What's happening?
Max: I don't know.
(Isabel grabs the phone and calls someone)
Isabel: Oh, come on. Come on.
(No one answers. Isabel slams the phone)
Isabel: No! Mom and dad are missing! They're gone. Oh, God. Are we the only ones left?
(At Michael's apartment, Courtney has successfully changed into the new husk in the bath tub)
Michael: You put the husk on?
Courtney: The fit is ok.
Michael: Feels like real skin.
Courtney: For now. The husk wasn't fully mature, and I don't know how long it's gonna hold up. You saved my life...by stealing this.
Michael: Well, you saved ours in Copper Summit.
(The telephone rings)
Michael: Here's a towel, and here's a robe.
Michael (on phone): Yeah?
Max: It's me. Meet us at the Crashdown right away.
(Scene shifts to the streets of Roswell. Maria and Liz are investigating)
Maria: Look. Look, look. It's still warm.
Maria/Liz: Ahh!
Maria: Ok, let's just go back to the car, ok?
Liz: Ok!
Maria: Ok.
(Liz and Maria head back to the car. Liz finds a piece of skin on the ground)
Liz: Wait! This is not good.
(At the Crashdown, Max, Michael, Isabel, and Courtney are searching around)
Max: No one's back there, either.
Isabel: Everyone's gone.
Michael: Every human. Whoever's doing this is trying to single us out.
(Liz and Maria arrive at the Crashdown)
Courtney: Well, there goes that theory.
Maria: Michael!
Liz: Max, what...what happened? We...we just got back from Dexter.
Max: Our parents disappeared. It seems like the whole town is gone. All the humans, at least.
Liz: Well, why not us?
Isabel: I'm sorry.
Liz: What is going on here? Everyone's gone? They're gone, like dead?
Max: We don't know that.
(Maria calls Alex)
Maria: Pick up the phone, Alex.
Max: All we can do right now is focus on the fact that we have each other.
(Maria finds a CD on the counter)
Maria: Alex's band just burned a new CD, and he couldn't wait to show me.
Isabel: First thing we need to do is figure out who did this.
Liz: We know who did this. The skins.
Maria: Yeah. We found one of those snake skin things off of Elm street.
Courtney: Nicholas.
Isabel: This is our fault.
Tess: No. It's her's. You led the skins straight to Roswell, Courtney!
Michael: She's with us, Tess.
Tess: What did your people do to the town?
Courtney: They're not my people.
Max: Stop pointing fingers. We're the ones who destroyed their harvest. They're here to settle the score with all of us.
(Isabel has been looking out the window. He sees people approaching)
Isabel: Into the bathroom. They're coming. Now.
(Nicholas and Ida enter)
Isabel: There's two of them...Nicholas and Ida. Hide us.
Nicholas: Check in the back.
(Nicholas walks to where the bathroom door was)
Maria: Oh, please don't let me die like elvis.
(Nicholas walks over to the wall and taps on the mirror that Tess has created in his mind to replace the bathroom door)
Nicholas: Mom?!
Ida: Don't pick. There's nobody back there or upstairs, sir.
Nicholas: Look in the mirror. You're shedding.
Ida: Ohh...it's the heat. Why couldn't those brats be from Seattle?
Nicholas: Let's get you back to the moisture chamber. This haphazard searching is going nowhere.
Ida: What's plan "B"?
Nicholas: We'll search the town...street by street, building by building, inch by inch. I'm not stopping til we find them.
(Nicholas and Ida leave. Everyone comes out of the bathroom. Tess weakly stumbles to the counter)
Tess: I've never come up against power like that before. It feels like...someone took a sledgehammer to my head.
(Liz leaves through the door to the kitchen. Max notices her and follows)
Max: I'll be right back.
(Max finds Liz in her room)
Liz: My mom always listened to Elvis Costello on laundry day. I am so scared.
Max: What happened to your family...to all the humans...it's our fault.
Liz: We haven't lost them yet. We have to stay strong.
Max: Yeah.
(Max sees Liz's bed and the images from the other night return)
Max: I should get back down.
Isabel: Max!
(Max and Liz rush downstairs. Courtney is on the floor. Her skin is very wrinkled)
Isabel: She just collapsed.
Michael: Max, you gotta help her.
Max: Let's get her upstairs.
(Everyone helps Courtney to the bathroom)
Maria: Um...ok, maybe we should take her clothes off?
Liz: Got her?
(Isabel shuts the door on the guys)
Liz: Ok.
Isabel: What now?
Liz: Um...you know, from what...from what she said, the husk is starving. It's looking at her thighs like they're 2 canned hams.
Courtney: I heard that, you bitch.
(Liz and Tess help Courtney into the tub)
Liz: Uhh!
Isabel: Well...what if we tempt it with food from...from outside the membrane...sort of like an all-you-can-eat buffet or something?
Liz: Yeah. Yeah. I mean, it's worth a try. We need, like, some vitamins and minerals and...and nutrients.
Maria: Ok. We've got ginko, bee pollen, echinacea, C, D, E, calcium, St. John's wort, and Pamprin. What? I was dating Michael Guerin.
(Outside, Michael and Max are scouting with Liz's telescope)
Max: Main street looks clear. I just wish I knew where they were hiding.
Michael: You think she'll be ok?
Max: I don't know. You and Courtney have gotten close.
Michael: Yeah.
Max: How's Maria feel about that?
Michael: Why do you care? You've never been interested in my social circles before.
Max: You were never sleeping with the enemy before.
Michael: And I'm not now.
Max: Then why was she at your apartment this morning?
Michael: 'Cause she wanted to show me how the husk fit. That's it.
Max: Good.
Michael: Let me take a look.
(Back in Liz's bathroom, Courtney seems to have recovered from the nutrient bath)
Tess: Pretty quick recovery, don't you think? This "I've fallen and can't get up" routine seems a little too convenient. I think it's time for a Q&A. What exactly did the skins do?
Courtney: I don't know.
(Tess pulls the drain plug and the nutrient bath starts to go down the drain)
Courtney: No.
Isabel: What happened to our families?
Courtney: Time exists in multiple subset dimensions on our planet. Nicholas must have a technology to impose one or more of these here.
Isabel: Speak English.
Courtney: It's like being on Pacific and Eastern and Central and Mountain time all at once. Human bodies can't function. They simply disappear.
Liz: To where? Where are our parents, our friends...Alex? Where is everyone? Are they dead? Wha...
Maria: Water's getting low.
Courtney: Somewhere! Another dimension, another plane of existence! I don't know where! They seem to have just...shifted.
Maria: Well, can we get 'em back?
Courtney: I don't know. Please.
(Tess replaces the drain plug)
Isabel: Why haven't Liz and Maria disappeared?
Courtney: I don't...I don't know.
Maria: We were out of town this morning. Thank God.
Courtney: It probably bought you some time.
Maria: Ok. So, what did she mean by "buy us some time"?
Liz: Don't worry about it. She said we slipped through a window. We'll be fine.
(A skin sees them and goes after Liz and Maria)
Liz: Oh.
Maria: Run!
Liz: Come on! Go! Go! Go!
(Maria climbs through the counter window. Liz tries to follow but the skin grabs her feet)
Maria: Go, go, go, go, go, go!
Liz: Maria!
(Maria pulls on Liz's hands, while the skin pulls on her feet)
Maria: Go! Go! Go!
Liz: Maria! Aah!
(Sheriff Valenti appears and shoots the skin in the back)
Skin: Unhh!
Liz: Oh. Careful, Sheriff! He's a skin!
Skin: Yaahh!
(The skin knocks the Sheriff to the ground and makes a quick escape)
Liz: Oh, my...oh...
Kyle: Dad! Dad, you ok? You ok? You all right?
Sheriff: Ohh!
(A few moments later, in the Crashdown)
Max: If guns don't work, how do we kill them?
Courtney: Take the heaviest thing that you can find...and smash this as hard as you can. It breaks the seal in the husk...permanently.
Isabel: What about Nicholas? What can he do?
Courtney: All the things you can...times a thousand. But the thing you should be the most afraid of...is this.
(Courtney points to her head)
Courtney: He can get inside of your head and take anything that he wants. Basically, he rapes you of your memories and your thoughts.
Sheriff: We've gotta get everybody to a safer location.
Max: The UFO center. It's a former bomb shelter. There are no windows and fewer ways in and out. After we get everyone situated, you, me, Michael, Isabel, and Tess will start picking them off one by one.
Kyle: What about me?
Max: You're not someone I trust. Let's move.
(Everyone is in an alley across from the UFO Center)
Max: There's not much cover, so we should split up into groups.
Sheriff: Good idea.
Max: You ok?
Sheriff: Yeah. Michael, Kyle, take Courtney. You guys go first.
Max: When you're in, we'll send the next bunch.
Sheriff: All right, go.
[SCENE_BREAK]
(Michael, Kyle, and Courtney make it to the UFO Center. Michael opens the door with his power)
Sheriff: I'll take Tess, Liz, and Maria. You two OK bringin' up the rear?
(Max nods)
Sheriff: Ready?
Tess: Ok.
(Sheriff Valenti, Liz, and Tess move)
Max: We're gonna be ok.
Isabel: Max, if I ask you to do something, will you just do it, no questions asked?
(Max nods)
Isabel: You go. Make sure everyone else is safe. I'm gonna find Nicholas.
Max: No.
Isabel: Max...you don't understand. He's after me.
Max: Why, Isabel? What really happened in Arizona? We're stronger together than we are apart.
Isabel: You're right. I'm sorry.
Max: Don't worry about it. I'm gonna make sure it's safe. And then we're up. Ok. The coast is clear. You go ahead, and I'll follow you. Ready?
(Max turns around to find that Isabel has slipped away. He goes to look for her)
(Isabel walks around and finds the tour bus. Someone is playing with a remote-controlled car. As Isabel walks up to the bus, the car runs into her)
Nicholas: Boo.
(Inside the UFO Center)
Michael: I brought you some water if you want. We're gonna pull together the ingredients for another bath. Ok?
Courtney: It won't work. It's...I'm dying.
Michael: No. No. No, that's not an option. Ok, there's...there's gotta be something that we can do. Courtney, what?
Courtney: You won't want to do it.
Michael: Just say it. What is it?
Courtney: The granilith.
(Inside Brody's office)
Kyle: I can't call out of town.
Liz: Kyle. Kyle. Um, do you see this jump on the graph? There was some sort of, like, electric disturbance that leveled off here.
Kyle: When?
Liz: Um...10:30 this morning.
Kyle: Right about when everyone went poof.
Liz: Kyle, if the energy field was turned on...
Kyle: Maybe it can be turned off.
Liz: Exactly. I mean, we just need to find the source. If we can shut it off, maybe we can bring everyone back.
(Sheriff Valenti enters)
Sheriff: Liz...will you excuse us for a second?
Kyle: Don't worry, dad. I'm stayin' out of everyone's way.
Sheriff: Kyle...do you remember what you did the night after your mom left?
Kyle: I lent you Mr. Squishels.
Sheriff: You were worried about me, and you didn't want me sleeping alone, so you did instead. That was a brave thing for a 6-year-old to do, and I was...and I was proud of you.
Kyle: Mm-hmm.
Sheriff: I remember the first time you tied your own shoes...and when we, uh...we took the training wheels off of your bike.
Kyle: Ok, pop, knock it off.
(Sheriff stumbles)
Sheriff: I...
Kyle: You...dad. You all right?
Sheriff: I'm in awe of you every day, son. And I apologize for not recognizing the man that you're becoming...because you're a darn...you're a darn good one.
(Sheriff Valenti disappears in front of Kyle's eyes)
Kyle: No! Dad!
(Max arrives at the UFO Center)
Tess: Did you find her?
Max: Where's Michael?
Tess: He's in the back.
(Maris paces around. She walks by an exhibit with a mannequin in a window. She turns around and walks back and notices the mannequin is missing now. A skin steps out and blasts Maria with an energy blast)
Maria: Tess!
(Tess sneaks behind the skin and kicks its seal self-destruct button)
Tess: They found a way in. We've gotta go.
Max: All right. We'll head for the school. It's our turf. Get your dad.
Kyle: I can't. He disappeared right in front of me.
Liz: You know, the skins' time dimension must be catching up with those of us that are...
Maria: Human. Who's next?
(Kyle sees a UFO Center postcard and recognizes the sign in it. It's the one he and his dad saw earlier that was defaced)
Kyle: That time field is coming from the billboard out by Chaparral Turnout. My dad spotted a green rod stuck through it this morning. We thought it was a prank. I'm heading out there.
Max: No. We stick together.
Kyle: Hey, I've been really nice about following your orders, Senor Presidente, but if I can do something to help bring some people back or ensure that Liz, Maria, and I live to see another day, I'm gonna do it.
Max: Kyle. Look...take Bradford Alley all the way out of town. It's a straight shot. You can't get boxed in.
Kyle: Thanks.
Max: Good luck...to all of you.
Kyle: I'll take care of her.
(Kyle leaves and Liz follows him after staring at Max for a brief moment)
Maria: Um...I know how you hate when things get all goopy, so...
Michael: Yeah. So I'll see you soon.
Maria: Yeah.
Michael: No. I will.
(Maria leaves)
Max: Ok. It's the four of us on foot. If we stick to the side streets, we can...
Tess: What's wrong?
Max: Where's Courtney?
(Inside the skins' bus, Isabel is handcuffed to the railing)
Isabel: Uh...
Nicholas: I knew it was only a matter of time before you rejoined our side, Vilandra.
Ida: Tryin' to ambush my baby. I should pull out your filthy eyes and grind 'em into dust.
Isabel: I came to make a deal.
Nicholas: And what could you possibly have to offer us?
Isabel: Me.
Nicholas: You always were a flighty little princess. Jewels before studies. That's our Vilandra. We have you, you beautiful moron.
Isabel: I think you're the one who doesn't understand.
Nicholas: Leave us.
Ida: You can't possibly think that this woman...
Nicholas: Do you really want to finish that sentence? Leave. Now.
Ida: All right.
(Ida leaves)
Nicholas: Go ahead.
Isabel: The last time we were together, you awakened something in me. I remembered things from our past. You and me.
Nicholas: Our forbidden meetings.
Isabel: I came here for you. I know what's hiding behind that husk.
(Nicholas motions with his hand and the handcuffs disappear)
(Isabel acts like she's going to kiss Nicholas, but at the last instant, she pushes him to the ground. She reaches for his fanny pack when Ida comes in and knocks Isabel out)
Isabel: Uhh!
Nicholas: Mom, what are you doing?!
Ida: Saving you, sir!
Nicholas: She was no threat! Damn it, now she's no good at all! I'm sick of this!
Ida: What do you want to do now?
Nicholas: Kill every last one of 'em.
(Liz, Maria, and Kyle are on their way to the billboard)
Maria: If we get out of this...
Kyle: When we get out of this...
Maria: Things are gonna change for me. I'm gonna start spending more time with my mother. I'm gonna...I'm gonna write more to my grandmother. I mean, these are the people who gave me life, you know?
Liz: No! I can't leave it like this!
Maria: Excuse me?
Liz: Max. No, I walked out on him without explaining what happened between you and me.
Maria: Huh?
Liz: I didn't even say good-bye!
Kyle: Look, you've got a job to do. Max has got a job to do. When everybody's done with their job, you can make nice.
Liz: He'll never know!
Kyle: He's Max. He'll always know. Right?
(Liz disappears)
Maria: Liz? Ohhh...
(Maria and Kyle arrives at the billboard)
Maria: Not Liz. I need Liz.
Kyle: Maria, Maria, look, look, look, look. She's coming back. They all are. All right. Now, Liz said something about generators and electric fields.
Maria: So how does electricity work?
Kyle: Why are you lookin' at me? We were both in the same remedial science class for 3 years.
Maria: Basically, we have to...um, blow its fuse, right?
Kyle: That means we mess with the current. Do you have jumper cables?
Maria: Yeah.
(A skin appears)
Kyle: Buddha, forgive me, but I'm gonna kick your ass!
(The skin rushes Kyle and he flips him over. Kyle goes to the car to the get "the club". He knocks the skin with it and then knocks the seal self-destruct button)
Kyle: Maria...
(Kyle disappears)
(Back in town, Nicholas finds Courtney who's lying on the ground)
Nicholas: When my soldiers told me what they had found, I had to see for myself. What's the matter, Courtney? Too weak to run?
Courtney: Leave me alone.
Nicholas: You always were the social butterfly, Courtney. Always the first to make new friends. But what I want to know is...where are yours hiding?
Courtney: I think I see a chest hair, Nicholas. Way to go.
Nicholas: Fine. We'll do this the hard way.
(Nicholas grabs Courtney's head and starts draining her mind)
Courtney: Ohh! Ohhh!
Nicholas: Let's see...you had scrambled eggs for breakfast. Then you slipped into that husk that punk stole from us.
Courtney: No! No.
Nicholas: Boring. Boring. Boring. Aha!
(Nicholas sees an image of Max through his mind drain)
Max: All right, we'll head for the school. It's our turf.
(End flashback)
Nicholas: School? On a Saturday? What a drag.
Courtney: I hope they kill you.
Nicholas: You've become awfully chummy with them, haven't you? Courtney? Are you hiding something else? You are. You have a secret. What do you know?
Courtney: Ohhh!
(Nicholas grabs her head again and sees another image)
Michael: If anything happens to me, Max, or Tess, I want you to be able to save yourself. Now, if I tell you where the granilith is, do you swear never to tell anyone?
Courtney: I swear.
(End flashback)
Nicholas: The granilith! That's a bonus! I hope he gave you detailed directions.
(Courtney reaches behind to her back and presses the husk un-sealing button. She disintegrates)
Nicholas: Now, that's a soldier.
(At school, Max asks Michael where Courtney went)
Max: You sure you don't know where Courtney went?
Michael: Your guess is as good as mine.
Tess: I've got one. She and Nicholas are probably laughing at how gullible we are.
Max: Isabel. Isabel.
Nicholas: Ahem!
(Max, Michael, and Tess look around. They're surrounded by skins)
(Back at the billboard, Maria grabs some jumper cables and starts to set them up)
(Max, Isabel, Tess, and Michael are tied up to pillars. Nicholas walks up to Max)
Nicholas: What happened to you, guy? You used to determine the fate of entire armies with the flip of a coin. Luckily for me, you continue to put your faith in the wrong people. Does this scene feel familiar, Vilandra? And your trusted second...the boy who spilled the secret of the granilith to one of our exiled members. Rule number one of war: keep your big mouth shut. Courtney knew that. That's why she killed herself before I could get its exact location. By the way, love the hair. Hope you win. There's one more thing I need to know before we can all call it a day. Where's the granilith?
Max: I'm not telling you.
Nicholas: Oh...you will.
(Nicholas motions with his hand and Michael, Isabel, and Tess start screaming in pain)
Michael: Aah!
Isabel: Aah!
Tess: Aah!
Max: Wait! I'll take you there! Just you and me. This has nothing to do with them.
Isabel: Max, don't.
Nicholas: This is too easy. In the old days, I would've been no match for you. But...now...
(Nicholas grabs Max's head and starts draining his memory)
Max: Nyggggg...unhh! Ohhh...uhh!
Nicholas: Either way, you're going to die, Max. So why don't you just make this easy on yourself?
Max: Uhhh! Uhhh! Uhhh!
(Max focuses and repels Nicholas' mind drain)
(Back at the billboard)
Maria: Keep it together, De Luca.
(Back at school)
Nicholas: Ready to tell me now?
(Maria hooks the cable clamps to each other and places it on top of the green pulsating tube. She disappears shortly afterward. The cables destroy the tube and Roswell glows green again as the effects of the tube are reversed)
(Tess screams shrilly and then gathers her power. A raging fire starts to build behind her and she releases it into the group of skins, vaporizing them)
Tess: What...what just happened?
Max: You saved us.
Tess: Ohhh...
Max: Vilandra?
(The pod squad looks around and see the the janitor)
(Back at the Crashdown, all the humans have returned. Alex is eating at the counter)
Alex: Hey, these are freezin'!
Sheriff: Alex.
Alex: Mornin', Sheriff. Uh, skip the pancakes.
Sheriff: Yeah? Hey, kiddo. How's it goin'?
Alex: Good. You?
Sheriff: Good.
Alex: Great.
(At the Evans household, Diane Evans is washing dishes when Isabel rushes in)
Isabel: Mom!
Diane: Ohh! How hard can it be to sit down to one breakfast? But, no...everybody has to go running. Isabel, why can't we just be like a normal family?
(Isabel hugs her tightly)
Diane: Oh! Sweetie, I'm drippin' water all over the floor here.
Isabel: I'll get it later.
(Switch to Liz, Maria, and Kyle by the blown up billboard. They jump around hugging each other)
(Max and Tess are walking through a park, discussing what happened)
Tess: I just wanted to scare them with a mind warp. I thought if they saw fire...it was awful, Max. I lost control. Tapped into...something completely different.
Max: You think you could do it again?
Tess: I don't want to.
(Suddenly, a little boy who looks a lot like Nicholas bumps into Tess while riding a scooter. The episode ends with Max and Tess staring after the boy as he rides away)


[ The apartment ]
Sheldon: What color would you like to be?
Leonard: Well, I'd like to be green, but you know you always take it.
Sheldon: That's not true. Any color's fine with me. Yeah, I could be a-a combination of blue and yellow.
Leonard: Blue and yellow make green.
Sheldon: Well, then it's settled.
Penny: Hi. Ready to go?
Sheldon: Oh, good news, we ordered lunch, so we can all stay here and play Lord of the Rings Risk.
Amy: Sheldon, we said that we would play games with you tonight.
Sheldon: Oh, no, we'll still be playing it tonight, this game can easily take eight hours.
Penny: Sweetie, you really thought I'd want to do this?
Leonard: No.
Penny: Well, did you tell him that?
Leonard: Yes.
Penny: Did you say it out loud with words?
Leonard: No.
Penny: I don't want to spend the whole day playing a board game.
Sheldon: Yeah, well, you may change your mind when you hear that this is the new expanded edition which contains a more complete map of Middle Earth, now including the Haradwaith Territories.
Amy: I will literally race you to the car.
Leonard: No, no, no, come on, don't leave. Just try it.
Penny: No. We're always doing what you guys want. Just once, it'd be nice if you did something we wanted.
Sheldon: You want to be green?
Leonard: You know, they really have tried to like a lot of the same stuff we're into.
Penny: Yeah, we do game nights and video game nights and we watch movies with director's commentary.
Amy: Oh, my favorite, George Lucas can talk all the way through Star Wars, I say one word and I'm banished to the kitchen.
Penny: Yeah, today Amy and I are deciding what we're all gonna do.
Leonard: You got it, you girls are in charge.
Penny: Thank you.
Amy: Sheldon?
Sheldon: Fine. Now that we're not playing, you can be green.
Leonard: Thank you.
Sheldon: And since you're green this time, I can be it next time.
Penny: All right, let's see. What's something fun the guys would never take us to do? Oh, I know, we could go horseback riding.
Amy: I actually can't. My hips don't open wider than 22 degrees. I rode a very thin pony once. On the first bump, just popped right off.
Penny: All right, well, what do you want to do?
Amy: There's a craft and folk art museum on Wilshire.
Penny: Well, that's Wilshire's problem. Come on, you know, there, there's got to be something fun we could do that the guys will hate.
Leonard: Hang on, why do we have to hate it?
Penny: Three words, Doctor Who convention.
Leonard: I did not force you to go to that.
Penny: You walked out of the house in a fez and bow tie. I went so you didn't get beat up.
Leonard: I wasn't gonna get beat up.
Penny: You were, but somehow I held myself back.
Sheldon: You know what you could make us do? Ice-skating. The cold air will trigger Leonard's asthma and it plays right into my well-known fear of getting flattened by a Zamboni.
Leonard: Now you're helping them find ways to make us miserable?
Sheldon: Well, I'm sorry, Leonard, I'm a problem-solver, it's what I do.
Amy: I actually can't go ice-skating. I have unnaturally brittle ankles.
Penny: Is there any part of your body that's normal? (chuckles)

[ Howard and Bernadette's apartment ]
Raj: Oh, my God, oh, my God, oh, my God.
Howard: Will you please relax?
Raj: I can't take it, dude.
Bernadette: You okay?
Raj: No, I'm not okay. I feel like I'm gonna jump out of my skin.
Bernadette: I told you not to wax down there. It's itchy when it grows back.
Raj: I'm worried about the New Horizons space probe.
Bernadette: What's he talking about?
Howard: Nine years ago he was part of a team that launched a spacecraft to collect data about Pluto, and it's finally close enough, so this morning it turned itself on.
Raj: We hope. The signal has to travel over three billion miles. So it's gonna be hours before we know if it even survived.
Howard: Now we get to see him flip out because he's worried it was demolished by space ice.
Raj: Space ice is no joke. I can't even watch Frozen anymore.
[SCENE_BREAK]
[ The apartment ]
Amy: Ooh, the philharmonic is playing Beethoven downtown.
Sheldon: Before you say yes, it's not the movie about the big dog.
Penny: How come we can't think of something we both want to do?
Amy: Because you always pick what we do and I just go along with it.
Leonard: Ah, interesting, we're being accused of making you do things you don't like, and here you are, doing the same thing to poor Amy.
Sheldon: You should point out the hypocrisy of that.
Leonard: That's what I was doing.
Sheldon: Oh, that wasn't clear. Try it again, but this time drive it home with how do you like them apples, Missy?
Penny: All right, keep thinking.
Sheldon: You're making it too complicated. Why not stick to the basics? Go shopping for clothes while Leonard and I sit in those uncomfortable chairs and hold your purses, hmm? I know I'd hate that. Leonard?
Leonard: Well, yeah.
Sheldon: Well, then, it's settled?
Amy: What do you say? Sounds kind of perfect.
Penny: It does, somehow he managed to take all the fun out of it.
Sheldon: Well, once again, it's what I do.
[SCENE_BREAK]
[ Howard and Bernadette's apartment ]
Raj: Oh, another two hours to go. The wait is killing me.
Howard: I know. I get it. When I was in the Soyuz capsule returning from the space station, plummeting toward Earth at 17,000 miles per hour...
Raj: Before you finish, is this a story about patience and waiting or just another reminder that you went to space?
Howard: A story can do two things.
Raj: Ugh, I feel like I'm gonna have a heart attack.
Howard: You work in pharmaceuticals, don't you have anything you can give him?
Bernadette: All I have is our new urine flow drug. Won't help with his anxiety, but it's so strong, when he pees he'll fly around the room like he's got a jet pack.
Raj: I can't stop thinking about it.
Bernadette: You know, worrying won't have any effect on what happens.
Raj: I know.
Howard: Maybe you need to do something more productive.
Raj: Okay. If I make this shot in the trash can, the probe will have arrived in perfect working order.
Howard: So, in addition to being crazy, you're resting the fate of the mission on your athletic prowess.
Raj: Yes.
Howard: The man who crashed his stationary bike.
Raj: I didn't crash it, okay? My playlist was too up-tempo, I got light-headed and I fell off. Okay. It all comes down to this.
Howard: You happy? Now you can relax.
Raj: What kind of scientist are you? Everyone knows you got to make two out of three.
[SCENE_BREAK]
[ Clothes shop ]
Leonard: This isn't so bad.
Sheldon: That's easy for you to say. Your chair's not facing the lingerie section. Boy, that's a lot of panties.
Amy: You guys comfy? This might take a while.
Sheldon: I don't understand why women insist on making a big production out of buying clothes.
Penny: No, you're right, we should do what you do. Have our mom send us pants from the Walmart in Houston.
Sheldon: They have a man there who understands my personal style.
Penny: Bye.
Leonard: Uh, I've got some bad news. There's no cell service in here.
Sheldon: Oh. Well, that's all right. There were plenty of ways to pass the time before smart phones were invented.
Leonard: That's true.
Sheldon: I'll look them up. Son of a biscuit.
Leonard: Sheldon, it's fine.
Sheldon: No, it's not fine. What kind of store in the 21st century doesn't at least have Wi-Fi? I'm going to call their corporate office. Son of a biscuit.
[SCENE_BREAK]
[ Clothes shop - later ]
Sheldon: Let's see, my armies are going to attack the Shire from Buckland. And I roll a five and a three.
Leonard: Okay. And to defend, I roll two sixes. I win.
Sheldon: Boy, double-sixes again. You know, if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't believe it. I wonder how long we're gonna be stuck here.
Leonard: I don't know, but the girls do a lot for us. It's the least we can do.
Sheldon: Oh, that's true. I suppose it's only fair we make compromises.
Leonard: Look at you, being all mature.
Sheldon: I don't know why you're so surprised. If there's one thing I know about after living with you for so many years, it's how to compromise.
Leonard: I, I'm sorry? You make compromises for me?
Sheldon: All the time.
Leonard: On Earth? In our lives? That, that, that we're living?
Sheldon: Oh, yes. I, just yesterday, you had a, a big piece of lettuce stuck in your teeth at lunch. Did I say anything? No. I compromised and kept my mouth shut. Like you should've, because everyone was laughing at you.
Leonard: That is not a compromise. A compromise is me driving you everywhere because you refuse to learn how.
Sheldon: Oh, I learned how. Amy taught me.
Leonard: What? Then. then why don't you do it?
Sheldon: Uh, well, it's scary. And sometimes I get the pedals mixed up. But, more importantly, driving me to work is one of the things that gives your life purpose. I can't take that away from you, so what do I do? Oh, come on, I'm practically feeding you the answer. I compromise.
[SCENE_BREAK]
[ Raj's car ]
Raj: Hey, uh, thanks for keeping me company.
Howard: I'm happy to. I think getting out of the apartment will do you good. So, where we headed?
Raj: If it's okay with you, I'd like to go to temple.
Howard: Buddy, trust me, you don't want to convert to Judaism. I mean, I know I make it look cool, but it's not all briskets and dreidels.
Raj: I meant a Hindu temple.
Howard: Oh. Okay. It's not like Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, right? Some bald guy with horns isn't gonna rip my heart out.
Raj: Dude, that movie's an imperialist fantasy that makes the followers of a beautiful and peaceful religion look like a bunch of bloodthirsty barbarians.
Howard: You love that movie.
Raj: Yeah, it's pretty great.
Howard: I'm surprised to see you suddenly get religious.
Raj: Why?
Howard: Well, because I've known you for ten years and you've never gone to temple, you never talked about believing in God, and last Diwali I watched you eat two pounds of sacred cow at a Brazilian steak house.
Raj: Religion is a very personal thing. I do go to temple, I just, I don't talk about it.
Howard: Yeah, but you're a scientist.
Raj: So?
Howard: So, as a scientist, you believe the way to understand the universe is through facts and evidence, and now you're counting on some blue chick with a hundred arms to help you?
Raj: That is so offensive. Does everything you know about Hinduism come from Indiana Jones?
Howard: No. There's also Apu from The Simpsons.
Raj: Well, lots of scientists believe in God. Okay? Newton, uh, Faraday, uh, Pascal, all were believers. Even Einstein was famous for attacking quantum theory on the grounds that God does not play dice with the universe.
Howard: Well, of course he believed in God. he slept with Marilyn Monroe.
Raj: Actually there's no proof of that.
Howard: You believe in your religion, I'll believe in mine.
[SCENE_BREAK]
[ Store changing rooms ]
Amy: How's it going in there?
Penny: Uh, not really a great outfit for work, unless something opens up in the hookers and whores division. Hey, can I ask you something?
Amy: Sure.
Penny: Do I really force you to do things you don't want to?
Amy: Yeah, but it's okay.
Penny: How is it okay?
Amy: I promised myself, if I ever got friends, I'd do whatever they said. Really, I'm lucky you found me before a cult did.
Penny: Well, you know, that was a long time ago. You're a different woman now. You're smart, you've got great friends, you've got a boyfriend, you're pretty, you have zero fashion sense, but, anyway, tonight we're gonna do whatever you want.
Amy: Really?
Penny: Absolutely. You name it, we're doing it.
Amy: Basket weaving at the craft museum.
Penny: Well, you named it.
[SCENE_BREAK]
[ The store ]
Sheldon: Oh, here's another one. I wish that the apple pancake mix was on the top shelf because it starts with an A, but I don't put it there because I don't want you breaking one of your little legs when you're supposed to be making my breakfast.
Leonard: Is it my turn to talk about the compromises I make?
Sheldon: I wasn't done, but go ahead. He said, compromising.
Leonard: Because of you, I'm not allowed to adjust the temperature in my own home. I'm not allowed to whistle. I don't wear shoes that might squeak.
Sheldon: Well, you're a physicist, not a circus clown.
Leonard: Sheldon, do you realize I don't live with the woman I love because of you? No other reason. Just you.
Sheldon: Is that true?
Leonard: Yes, it's true. The last time I brought it up, you had an emotional breakdown and got on a train and ran away.
Sheldon: Well, given my history on the subject, t seems a little reckless to bring it up now.
Leonard: You have no idea how much you inconvenience the lives of everyone around you. It's exhausting.
Sheldon: You know what? You think you're so tolerant, but the truth is you're mean to me a lot. Yeah, you think that I don't notice all those sarcastic comments and those eye rolls, but I do. Hmm? I have excellent peripheral vision. On a good day, I can see my ears.
Leonard: Sheldon, I, I'm sorry if I hurt your feelings. I've been holding a lot of this in for a while.
Sheldon: Well, I'm sorry, too. And if you want to live with Penny, then I think you should.
Leonard: Do you mean that?
Sheldon: Yes. Yeah, just put on your squeaky shoes and eee-eee-eee your way out of my life.
Leonard: Come on, don't get upset.
Sheldon: I'm not upset. I'm just imagining a world without my best friend in it.
Leonard: Sheldon.
Sheldon: It's okay.
Leonard: I'm not leaving your world. I'm just talking about living across the hall.
Sheldon: I understand. Either way, I want you to know that I'm aware of how difficult I can be. So I just want to say thank you for putting up with me.
Leonard: Buddy.
Penny: How are you guys getting along? What? Why are there tears?
Leonard: Everything's fine. We just started talking about living arrangements.
Amy: Are you crazy? You know he's a flight risk.
Sheldon: That's exactly what I told him.
Penny: Sheldon, we know this is a sensitive subject, and Leonard's not gonna move out until you're ready.
Sheldon: Well, what if you did it gradually?
Leonard: All right. How about we start with two nights a week I live with Penny?
Sheldon: How about one night and I let you whistle?
Leonard: Okay.
Sheldon: When I'm not home.
Leonard: You got it.
Sheldon: There we go, compromising again. We really are the best.
[SCENE_BREAK]
[ Temple car park ]
Howard: Here we go, my first Hindu temple.
Raj: You see behind the fountain, that tower that looks like a pyramid? It's called a Sikhara. It symbolizes the, the connection between the human and the divine.
Howard: Huh. I always thought it was mini golf.
Raj: All right. Shall we?
Howard: Yeah. Just, uh, is there anything I should know before I go in?
Raj: Like what?
Howard: Like am I dressed okay?
Raj: Really? So every other place you've been, you thought this was fine?
Howard: I know you're under a lot of pressure, so I'm gonna let that pass.
Raj: Sorry. You're right. I'm so stressed. But you know what, whenever I walk into that temple I realize that whatever happens, it's okay. We're all part of an immense pattern, and though we can't understand it, we can be happy to know that it's, it's working its will through us.
Howard: That's nice.
Raj: Whether you call it God or the universe or the self, we're all interconnected, and that's just a beautiful... Son of a bitch, that guy just dinged my car. S, seriously? You were just gonna drive away? Like my life isn't hard enough right now. A space probe might be destroyed, my parents are going through an awful divorce, the guy who cuts my dog's hair just gave her bangs.
Howard: Raj.
Raj: You saw her. She looks like Jim Carrey from Dumb and Dumber.
Howard: Raj, you just got a text. The probe turned on. It's fine.
Raj: Oh, good. Namaste, Grandpa.
[SCENE_BREAK]
[ Craft museum ]
Leonard: I thought this was gonna be boring, but it's actually kind of fun.
Penny: Don't tell Amy that. We'll be here every Sunday.
Amy: Sheldon, that really is an excellent basket.
Sheldon: It's not a basket. It's a soldier's helmet from 16th century China.
Amy: Very nice.
Leonard: Yeah, it looks great.
Sheldon: I saw that.
[SCENE_BREAK]
[ Penny's bedroom ]
Leonard: Well, roomie, it's only one night a week, but it's a start.
Penny: I know. I'm really proud of Sheldon.
Leonard: Yeah, I'm proud of him, too.
Sheldon (in Penny's living room): Can you keep it down? Some of us are trying to sleep out here.


In the gymnasium, people are setting up for a blood drive
Marco: So for tomorrow Ellie I need you to hand out stickers, okay? Craig I need you to pack the blood bags. And Alex, Alex!
Alex: This I will not be wearing.
Marco: It's for TV, Caitlin Ryan's community show? Look when people see Degrassi, I want them to think cute and cuddly.
Alex: I'm going to clobber you.
Marco: That's not cuddly. And as a president speaking to his vice...
Alex: Alright. Calm down. Everything has to be perfect.
Ellie: She's right. What you've done for the school this year, ever consider running a second term?
Alex: (dancing around in the mascot head) Four more years! Four more years!
Marco: I can't. I was thinking of picking up a few extra credits this summer. This way, I can graduate after first semester's done, maybe even move in with Dylan before university. My boyfriend? Alright you guys know I'm gay, right?
Ellie: Um I'm stuck on graduating early.
Craig: I'm on move in with Dylan.
Marco: Guys it's not that big a deal! Okay it's huge. Outside Degrassi, there's a sign that says 'blood drive today'
Dylan: So you'll call before you come over for the party? Marco? Today's gonna go fine.
Marco: There's been a bee in this car for the entire ride. Fear is my friend.
Dylan: You know a year ago you would have jumped out of a moving vehicle.
Marco: Yeah well, a year ago I wasn't with you.
(They kiss.)
Marco: Go. Back to your dorm. I'll see you tonight at the party.
In the gymnasium, Spike is giving blood
Spike: It's like breastfeeding, only out of your arm.
Emma: I think it's faster if you're quiet.
Caitlin: (on camera) So you inherited a school where a student died and another paralyzed.
Ms. Hatzilakos: Not the best situation to assume Principal, I agree.
Caitlin: And yet you've managed to turn it all around.
Ms. Hatzilakos: Oh no. Not me! Marco is the hero here. Organizing the dances, the assemblies, that's where the work has been.
Caitlin: You donated yet Marco?
Marco: Well I'm planning...
(Alex jumps on him in the Panther suit.)
Marco: Alex! Stop tackling me!
Caitlin: Uh cut!
Ms. Hatzilakos: So when is this gonna air?
Caitlin: Eight tonight and I wanna add shots of Marco donating, when you're recovered.
At the dot, Spinner is working and Jay is tapping a spoon against a glass
Spinner: If I'm still serving you ten years from now kill me, all right?
Jay: Well study hard and stay in school. Oh right! You got us expelled.
Spinner: Here you go ladies. Uh Clare will be with you in a moment to take your order.
Old lady: We asked for lemon with our water.
Spinner: Uh, you can't bring a dog in here.
Old lady: I didn't hear complaints. Ladies? We'll have the lunch menu instead.
Spinner: I'm going off shift, so Clare will...
Old lady: And lemon for the water and a bowl for Baby Bear here. So she can have some too, yes! Back in the gymnasium, Marco is about to donate
Marco: So if I pass out and start drooling, swear you'll stop filming?
Nurse Davis: Mr. Del Rossi? Could you please ask them to stop filming for just a minute?
Caitlin: Uh we're not shooting the whole giving of blood. We're just gonna shoot a few frames of the President.
Nurse Davis: I'm sorry Ms. Ryan.
Marco: Is there some kind of problem?
Nurse Davis: Uh there's a question here that you answered yes beside.
Marco: It asks, if I'm male and if I've had...with another male.
Nurse Davis: Yes, if you've had s*x.
Marco: So?
Nurse Davis: Well it's policy you have to understand, um but I can't let you be a donor. In the principal's office, Spinner is holding a flower pot
Ms. Hatzilakos: You shouldn't be here Gavin.
Spinner: I, I didn't make an appointment. I was afraid you wouldn't see me. I just want you to know this being expelled, I'm not taking it like it's a vacation. I've been keeping up in my textbooks.
Ms. Hatzilakos: You were supposed to return those.
Spinner: But I need them to write exams.
Ms. Hatzilakos: You don't get to do that.
Spinner: So that's it? I just lose my whole year?
Ms. Hatzilakos: I'm willing to offer summer school.
Spinner: But that only gives me two credits. That's not even enough to graduate. I mean that's a whole year of my life I have to do over. That's not fair!
Ms. Hatzilakos: What's not fair is that Rick Murray is dead as an indirect result of your bullying.
Spinner: I need to finish my year Ms. H!
Ms. Hatzilakos: No.
(Spinner throws the flower in the garbage and leaves.)
In the gymnasium
Marco: (On his cell) Dylan? Hey it's me. Look just please call me, whenever. I'm here.
(He walks over to Ellie, Craig & Alex.)
Craig: Why is your blood any more risky than ours?
Ellie: Don't they test everything anyway?
Marco: There's nothing wrong with me. I've only been with Dylan, he's only been with me. Even then we were totally safe!
Alex: So stop whining. Start complaining. There's your soapbox. Use it!
Marco: Caitlin! Hey!
Caitlin: Hey.
Marco: How's this for a story? Prejudice and homophobia at local high school.
Caitlin: I'd say we're on you.
Marco: Nurse Davis? Hey.
Nurse Davis: Yeah?
Marco: Hi.
Nurse Davis: Hi.
Marco: I, I want, look I want to ask why blood management refuses gay people from giving blood.
Nurse Davis: Um, um well it's policy. I'm not a spokesperson so I can't really comment further.
Marco: Fine. (To the camera) My name's Marco del Rossi, Student Council President. Today a student was denied as a blood donor because of his sexuality.
Nurse Davis: That's not the reason.
Marco: Then what is?
Nurse Davis: Well there is, within the gay community, there is an increased risk of HIV infection.
Marco: Saying that is lumping up all gay people as diseased. I listened in health class and anybody with a pulse can get HIV.
Nurse Davis: Yes but...
Ms. Hatzilakos: Marco? Please? (She stops the filming) Thank you. Thank you. Look this blood drive, you should be so proud of yourself for everything you've done. Look at all these people.
Marco: My whole point is that I'm supposed to be one of them!
Outside Degrassi, Jay is trying to steal a bike and kicks it
Spinner: Hey!
Jay: You want a kick, too?
Spinner: That's my bike, goof-bag.
Jay: Yeah well it's your fault I'm so bored!
Spinner: So? I'm stuck with you! Haven't I been punished enough?
Jay: Not yet.
Spinner: Know what... bike stealing? It's kid's stuff. But real stealing from Degrassi... At Dylan's dorm, Marco walks into his room and sees Dylan making out with another guy and bolts
Dylan: Marco! Marco wait!
Marco: No.
Dylan: About Eric, I meant to tell you. He's a friend from Psych class.
Marco: There's other ways, better ways of breaking up Dylan!
Dylan: Who's breaking up? Honey I'm in university now and there are people here, really interesting people that, that I really like.
Marco: Oh yeah like Eric.
Dylan: I love you and I don't want to stop seeing you. What I'd like to do is open things up a bit. You know see other people.
(Marco shoves Dylan and leaves.)
Outside Degrassi
Marco: (on his cell) He wants to open things up.
Ellie: (on her cell) He's a colossal jerk.
Marco: (Sees his friends and closes his phone) It's so humiliating. First I get rejected as a blood donor, now by Dylan. Maybe the blood people were right.
(Alex smacks Marco on his head.)
Marco: What is wrong with you?
Alex: My ex, formerly known as Jay Hogart, screwed around with every girl at this school. It's not a gay thing. Promiscuity, it's a guy thing.
Craig: Hey. Didn't I hear that you clocked Amy for being equally trampy?
Ellie: Oh and how's Ash, Craig? Or are you back with Manny? It's hard to tell, especially when you secretly dated them at the same time.
Craig: Let's just call it a people thing.
Ellie: Let's call it a choice. Monogamy wow, what a difficult concept.
Marco: I just want my boyfriend back.
Craig: He's got a party tonight right? Well then back is what we'll get him.
[SCENE_BREAK]
At night, inside Degrassi
(Spinner and Jay were hiding in cupboards until the janitor left.)
At Dylan's dorm
Craig: Girls and boys? I didn't think Dylan's dorm would be quite so co-ed.
Marco: You see him yet?
Craig: Who?
Marco: Dylan!
Dylan: Hey! I'm really happy you came.
Marco: Yeah? That's good...
Craig: I'm gonna go uh see what they're stocking for pop. Gentlemen...
Dylan: Come on. In Degrassi
(Jay and Spinner are throwing toilet paper around in the gym, then stacking a bunch of chairs in the hall and just goofing around.)
At the party
Marco: Craig um look. Everything's unfolding pretty good so if you don't want to you don't have to stay!
Craig: Are you kidding?! It's eight o'clock.
Dylan: What's eight o'clock?
Marco: Oh Caitlin Ryan! Degrassi! Me at the blood drive. Can I? Thanks. (He turns on the TV)
Caitlin: (On that TV) You inherited a school where a student died, another paralyzed.
Ms. Hatzilakos: (On the TV) Not the best situation to assume Principal, I agree.
Caitlin: (On the TV) And yet you've managed to turn it around.
Ms. Hatzilakos: (On the TV) Oh no. Not me! Marco is the hero here. Organizing the assemblies, the dances, that's where the work has been.
Marco: Ah tell me my head doesn't look that big.
Craig: Your hair, that's what's big.
Dylan: It looks great. You look great.
Caitlin: (On the TV) And so Degrassi has risen from the ashes of a tumultuous school year thanks to this week's local hero Marco Del Rossi.
Marco: Wait. No wait. Wait for it. I think this is it.
Caitlin: (On the TV) I'm Caitlin Ryan.
Marco: That's it? No there's more. There's them not letting me give blood and then I-
Eric: Dylan? We're toasting to summer with kamikazes!
Dylan: Wait a second.
Marco: It's nothing. Go. Kamikaze. Whatever.
Dylan: I'll be right back.
Marco: Dylan got me out of the closet last year. Yet here I was, my turn to make him proud. What I should be doing is making him jealous.
Craig: Uh... Back at Degrassi, Spinner finds the yearbooks
Spinner: What do we have here? Degrassi: A year of memories.
Jay: I said something worth something. I always like counting how many times I'm in this thing. The way I see it the less, the better. Oh crap. One. The last thing I want to see is me smiling goofy and hanging off my bestest friend. No. Two. I'm a freak! A failure. Nothing compared to you though, I mean you're, you're all through this thing.
(Spinner sees a bunch of pics with him and his friends and throws the book down.)
Jay: You alright there, Spinster?
Spinner: Follow me. Grab some more.
At the party
Marco: Hi. Hi, I'm Marco.
Mike: Mike.
Marco: Mike! So uh Mike! I was thinking of coming here next year. I was actually thinking about residence. But so far the only room I've seen is Dylan's.
Mike: You want like a tour?
Marco: Yeah, no a tour would be great and maybe I could see your room? You know to compare.
Mike: Okay, um it's two floors down, 403. Just give me a sec to clean up okay?
Marco: Okay. I'll see you in a bit...Mike.
Mike: Marco... At Degrassi, Spinner
Jay: Yo where'd you disappear?
Spinner: Science lab. I got fluid of the lighter kind.
(He starts pouring the fluid on the yearbooks and pulls out a lighter.)
Jay: Seriously it's bonfire night? Look I know math wasn't your strongest subject, but yearbooks plus fire equals the whole school up in flames. Oh yeah and us in jail. Put the toy away, flip-head.
Spinner: You're stopping me?
(Jay smacks the lighter out of his hands.)
Jay: Shocking but true.
Spinner: You're a freak in the same way that I am.
Jay: Yeah well at least I'm not torching the school.
(Jay smacks the lighter away from Spinner and the guys start fighting.)
Jay: You want your former friends to suffer?! Huh? Do you?
Spinner: I want 'em back.
Jay: Listen as your friend substitute, I'm telling you. This isn't the way. It's not.
Spinner: I just want 'em back.
Jay: Come on man we got to clean this up.
In the stairwell at Dylan's dorm
Craig: You know you are a great guy. The most honest, down-to-earth, nicest person that I know. You're a little short, but that just adds to the cuteness. That I would find you to be. If you were a girl or I was not a guy. (Points to himself) Is not gay. Just tell me this is helping.
Marco: You're telling me what I really want to hear. I appreciate it, thanks. If you want to help tell me I'm an idiot.
Craig: You're an idiot?
Marco: I can't go downstairs. I can't stay here. I can't talk to Dylan. What do I do?!
Dylan: Marco?
(Marco kisses Craig so that Dylan can see.)
Dylan: I um, wow.
Craig: So when in doubt you kiss Craig?!
Marco: I gotta settle this with Dylan.
Craig: Yeah you do! You really, really do!
(Marco leaves and pulls Dylan out of the party.)
Marco: I love you.
Dylan: Likewise, but what was that?
Marco: Dylan a lot of things aren't making sense right now.
Dylan: So what do you want me to say?
Marco: It made you jealous?
Dylan: It was Craig!
Marco: I don't want you to see other people. I don't like it and I'm not gonna like it and I'm not gonna feel bad that it bugs me.
Dylan: It bugs you?
Marco: It bugs me.
Dylan: It doesn't have to okay? How I feel about you, this changes none of that.
Marco: That's fine and okay. But you see it changes how I, how I feel about me.
Dylan: My freedom. That's important to me right now. I can't give that up.
Marco: Then you and me? I can't. And it's over.
(Marco leaves crying.)
In Ms. Hatzilakos' office
Spinner: Ms. H?
Ms. Hatzilakos: Gavin I don't have time to argue.
Spinner: You mentioned summer school.
Ms. Hatzilakos: I offered. You declined.
Spinner: Uh then what if I take it at another school or by correspondence and make the credits up that way? Could I come back next fall? There, there are two things that I want: to finish school and to get my friends back. But someone, someone's got to give me a chance. Please?
Ms. Hatzilakos: Here are the forms and summer school schedule, aka your chance. Gavin? Don't screw it up. At the news station
Caitlin: Hey Marco!
Marco: Hey! So the blood drive, it was a huge success. Thank you so much for covering it.
Caitlin: My pleasure.
Marco: I just had a question about the scene I started in the gym? Are you gonna air that at a different time or...?
Caitlin: Actually some people here would rather bury that part of it.
Marco: Oh. Okay.
Caitlin: Uh no it's not okay, actually. I'm sick of seeing AIDS being viewed as a solely homosexual disease. I've tried to do something about it before. Last year I even went to Africa. One word, educating. You know if you're interested in volunteering, I've got some friends we could talk to.
Marco: Yeah sure! I'm interested.
Caitlin: Interested enough in spending some time in Africa or the Caribbean?
Marco: Yeah! Yeah, of course.
Caitlin: It would mean giving up your entire summer. Any big plans?
Marco: I did... have some. But you know how it is with plans. They change.
