[ MYSTIC FALLS HIGH SCHOOL ]
(Elena wakes up, hands bound to the ceiling in the hallway)
Elena: We're in my high school? (Elena glares at Kai) By practicing with you. (In the hallway, Damon and Jo are cloaked and looking for Kai and Elena)
Damon: I can hear Kai yammering. (Stefan walks over to where Sarah is talking with a group of people, explaining one of her photographs)
Sarah: According to the saying, when a child dies, an angel will take the child in her arms and fly her over all the places she loved best, so she can see them one last time before she goes to Heaven. (The woman smiles and goes to do as Enzo asked, leaving him looking again at the art)

[ BOARDING HOUSE ]
(Kai is tied up and gagged, unconscious on the couch)
Jo: (to Alaric) Sure you're okay having a Pentobarbital-ed houseguest? Alaric: But? Caroline: So, my mom has a brain tumor. Come on. Come on. Damon: Well, baby steps. He hasn't responded to any treatment. He wants us back in Portland now. I need a witch. I took her mother's body to the ER after Damon killed her. Just do this stupid cloaking spell so I can go grab Elena and you can get back to wrecking my mansion. Like vampire blood. Liv! Liv? Liz: (looking disappointed, but obviously trying to be strong for Caroline) That is one doctor's opinion. Luke: (packing) They can help themselves. Sarah Nelson's photography exhibition. Succeeded once. They both turn when Caroline comes in)
Matt: Hey, there you are. They want me to merge. We were just about to watch another movie. When Damon moves to go to her, Kai uses his magic to hurt Damon's head, incapacitating him for the moment)
(Kai turns and heads after Jo, while Damon crawls over to Elena, who has slid down to the floor)
(Jo is crawling on the floor and Kai runs up, grabs her arm and hoists her to her feet, dragging her along with him)
Kai: No that I've got the kinks worked out, we can actually do this. Which is why I gave my blood to a cancer patient today. Which was awesome, by the way. Who cares? [SCENE_BREAK]
[ DUKE UNIVERSITY, NORTH CAROLINA ]
(Caroline and Stefan are walking through an art exhibit)
Caroline: (she has her cell to her ear, on hold) So your friend I've never heard of is a world-famous photographer? [SCENE_BREAK]
