TEXT: [A Coffee Shop] (Elena rejoins Stefan) Elena: Breakfast, Professor Salvatore? Stefan: Oh, no, no, no, no. I see what you're doing Elena: What am I doing? Stefan: Distraction tactics. Stay focused. So psychology, sociology, and anthropology share the assumption that... Elena: Scientific methods can be used to understand human behavior Stefan: That's very good, as in verbatim, which means that I need to ask you more difficult questions Elena: Thank you Stefan: For what? Elena: Volunteering to help me study the day after Damon declared that we can't be friends and that he never wants to see my face again.Speaking of distracting tactics Stefan: You're welcome (Bonnie rejoins them) Bonnie: Hey. I'm sorry I'm late.What did I miss? Elena: Just that Stefan's the tutor from hell Stefan: Unkind. Take that back Elena: Actually, I'm surprised that you're up for studying, you know, considering... Bonnie: Considering? Elena: The other side... Falling apart. She's in denial Stefan: So I see Bonnie: I'm not in denial. The other side is disintegrating. As the anchor to the other side, I'm only alive as long as there is another side. I'm perfectly aware of the threat of my impending death. There is nothing I can do about it. It's called acceptance, fifth stage of grief. Look it up, tutor guy Stefan: Definitely in denial Elena: Yeah. Look, Bonnie. I've already lost you once. We're not doing this again. It's not an option, ok? Not to mention what's gonna happen to Alaric and your grams and everyone else over there. So what are we gonna do? Bonnie: Fine. If you guys promise to stop hovering, I'll ask Liv if she has any witchy ideas. Besides, don't we have bigger problems with those Travelers trying to take over Mystic Falls? Stefan: Oh, no. Damon's already on that Elena: He is? Stefan: Did I say Damon? What I meant to say was George Elena: Damon said the he never wanted to see
SUMMARY:
Stefan helps Elena with their studies, distracting her from her entire situation with Damon. Bonnie is concerned as the destruction of the Other Side might affect her and her friends. Enzo continues to seek information about where to find his former girlfriend Maggie James, learning that she was killed by a vampire in 1960 much in the same way that Stefan does when he is in ripper mode. Enzo quickly accuses Stefan of the murder and threatens Luke so Liv will work for him. Enzo captures Elena, Bonnie and Stefan. Flashback to 1960, Stefan met Maggie, who is trying to find Damon to kill him. Enzo thinks back to when Maggie wanted to become a vampire to help him escape, but he tells her to leave and forget about him. Damon goes to rescue Stefan, Elena, and Bonnie by admitting he killed Maggie after she tried to kill him. Enzo then turns his humanity off, attacks Liv, then takes Elena. Elena escapes from Enzo and then Stefan kills him. Meanwhile, The Travelers turn Sloan into a vampire, but then take away the magic keeping her as a vampire. She then dies, as Markos says he wants to make all of Mystic Falls magic free. Stefan doesn't let Damon know of Enzo's death.
