(Stefan compels him)
Stefan: Time for a little break. All that matters is that you're a vampire hunter and he's a vampire. Damon and she listens. Elena looks at Caroline)
Elena: He's the one who told Damon how to break the hunter's curse
Caroline: He's also the one that has Bonnie so obsessed with practicing magic that she bailed on pageant prep
Elena: And now he's judging miss Mystic Falls? Elena: I wanted to dance with you today

Stefan: Elena is right. Haley: That's what the sire Bond is. He's about to kill her but Matt enters)
Matt: Jeremy! Her and Damon... ugh, God. I was trying to understand why Klaus was so intrigued by Damon and Elena. I'm busy
Klaus: I was wondering what time I should pick you up tomorrow
Caroline: About a quarter to never
Klaus: I was promised a date in return for one of my hybrids
Caroline: Yes, a date, like to a movie, where we don't have to talk and I can put at least 3 seats between us
Klaus: Surely the reigning miss Mystic Falls won't be hosting the party alone. Its tiny heart was pattering like a machine gun... And I thought, "What a thing, you know, to have to work that hard every day just to stay alive, to be constantly on the verge of death," and how satisfying every day must be that it survived... And that was the only time I thought about being human
(Tyler has heard everything)
Haley: What's he saying? Jeremy looks at his phone, intrigued)

(April, Caroline and Elena are in a room. Just...
(Damon is watching Shane and Haley. Nice work. Paranoid much? So none of this matter until Bonnie is back in touch with her magic. Stefan: Elena is sired to Damon Tell me that you haven't been making him kill vampires, Stefan
Stefan: We need the map to get the cure
Elena: If getting my humanity back means stripping Jeremy of his, then I don't want the cure
Stefan: He's the only way to fix all of this
Elena: You mean me, the only way to fix me. There's something wrong with her. Thought you hated whiskey
Elena: My brother wants to kill me
Damon: Welcome to the club
Elena: Jeremy can't live with me, Stefan wants to fix me, and Caroline flat out admitted that she doesn't like me this way. Trust me. Try and sublimate
Stefan: She said she has feelings for Damon
Caroline: What? Tyler: No reason
(Caroline and Klaus are talking)
Klaus: I never answered your question, if I'd ever thought about being human. Tyler: They don't. Who swoops in and tells her to relax? You and her... epic. You know I want to find it more than anyone else
Klaus: Well, then I suggest you find some vampires for Jeremy to kill before I'm tempted to offer you up as a victim. [Salvatore's House]

Meanwhile, Caroline calls Stefan and Stefan tells Caroline about Elena's feelings for Damon, which Caroline objects to. Klaus shows up shortly afterwards, questioning Stefan's trust in him. Damon and Stefan's relationship is even more strained, but they continue their search for the cure to vampirism for Elena's sake. Caroline and Elena are suspicious of Shane, who Damon decides to confront. Ever since awakening as a hunter, Jeremy has been having nightmares in which he kills Elena. Stefan uses criminals to create vampires for Jeremy to use to complete his tattoo. Hayley and Tyler work to break the sire bond of Klaus' hybrids. Caroline is stressed by a favor she owes Klaus- a date, which Klaus convinces Caroline to let him escort her to the Miss Mystic Pageant. Klaus manipulates her into feeling jealous of Hayley and Tyler's friendship, while also charming her. She asks if he ever wanted to be human again, and Klaus shares with her that he considered being human momentarily while looking at a hummingbird and contemplated the fragility of mortality and how struggling to stay alive would make every day you're living that much more meaningful. Caroline bonds with Klaus as Tyler jealously looks on with Hayley. Jeremy's hunter instinct- a hatred of vampires- develops to the point that he attacks Stefan. Damon asks why Shane showed up in Mystic Falls in the first place causing Shane to reveal that he is a vampire. Jeremy arrives at the pageant and attacks Elena, nearly killing her. She is rescued by Stefan and Matt. Stefan reveals to Elena he provided vampires for Jeremy to kill, to which she replies that she doesn't want her humanity back if it costs her brother his. Matt moves into her house and Elena decides to stay in the Salvatore House. Stefan then decides to leave, unable to stay in the same house as Elena. It is eventually revealed that Shane and Hayley are working together to break the sire bond with Klaus's hybrids. Later, Elena has a talk with Damon, which leads to a dance between the two and passionate sex afterwards, all while Caroline and Stefan figure out that Elena is sired to Damon.
