(Jo is holding Luke in her arms, crying)
Jo: Luke. (Colin is stabbing himself in the chest with a metal bar. (Jo holds out her hand for Kai to cut. (Liz grabs Caroline's shoulder and gently makes Caroline face her)
(Caroline's face is covered in blood, her eyes bloodshot)
(Liz wakes up and her heart monitor starts beeping again)
Caroline: Mom? (crying) Promise me that you will do that, Stefan. And then my dad, he uh, he sent her away and she died. Big time. Damon: He wants to merge. Damon: Hey, the blood transfusions are stopping the cancer from eating her alive? Doctor: Clear! Elena: At the beginning. He merged with Kai and Kai won. Her mother is terminal. I can hear my tumors growing! I think she's having a heart-attack. I'm not ready for that yet. Jo feels for a pulse.) Joshua starts the merge ceremony.) Joshua: Kai has been released. Joshua: Kai is a psychopath. Like 165 years old? Liv and Luke are going to have dinner with their father.) Liv: That's why Luke and I are going to bust our wonder-twin powers of persuasion, make dad think that Jo's powerful enough to over-power Kai, and Luke and I won't have to do the merge. Liz is just waking up.) Liz: (arrived with Caroline) Because Caroline fed me her blood last night. Luke: Well, that's true, but we share the same parents, the same bloodline, and thanks to your timeout in the magic penalty box, we're the same age, so it's definitely a hail Mary, and--and maybe it won't work, but I'd do anything to save my sister's life, so... (cuts his hand and tosses the knife on the ground) .. we're gonna give it the old college try. Now. One will absorb traits from the other. Or better idea, just...just come back. See all that red? She's been running around like crazy, saying she need to get her ducks in a row or...
(Stefan opens the window Colin's face Starts to burn)
Stefan: He's a vampire, which means after you fed him your blood...
Caroline: He died. She's not gonna want to live out the rest of her life as a vampire in excruciating pain. Stop! Tyler: She's trying to convince him to let Jo and Kai do the merge. Tyler: You die. Who is beyond terminally ill and a vampire, meaning all of his emotions are heightened and he can't die. [SCENE_BREAK]

Liv and Luke's father arrives to celebrate their birthday. They propose him to avoid the merge because none of them wants the other to die. In the hospital, Caroline and Stefan realize that Colin is a vampire but is not cured of his cancer. The tumor expanded and while he is a vampire, he can still feel the pain of the tumor growing. Caroline's mom realises that she will go through the same as Caroline fed her her blood. Jo suggests a full blood transfusion but it fails. Tyler, who now knows the twins are ready for the merge (as they are 22 years old), tries to wake Kai up, but is stopped by Damon. Kai helps Liz taking all the magic from her body but with the condition that the merge is set for that night. Meanwhile, Liz is having a heart attack and Elena is helping her. Mr Parker deceives the twins and begins to merge them, but Tyler comes just in time and hits him. Luke promises Liv he will come back and go and look for Kai. Kai and Jo begin the merge, although she is not ready yet. Luke stops the merge and convinces Kai to do it with him. Damon compels a doctor to save Liz's life, but she dies. Caroline arrives in that moment and cries on her mother's body. Before dying, Liz has a vision in which she sees her daughter with a bloody face, and then mysteriously wakes up. After the merge, Jo witnesses Luke and Kai fainting. While Jo is crying and holding her brother in her arms, he dies and she realizes that Kai has won the merge.
