Stefan looked up when he heard the door open. Damon and Katherine entered, but they were alone. “Where’s Elena”? Stefan asked, looking over Katherine and Damon’s head.
“She’s in the car with Caroline…and Bonnie” Katherine added grumpy. Stefan looked outside to see the car.
“The car that’s still on the road” Damon cleared up.
“Ah” Stefan said.
“Where did that treacherous bitch go?” Katherine tried to be neutral.
“You mean Amber?” Stefan said. “I don’t know. I thought she was right behind me, but I only turned around when I was here and by that time she was gone”
“Eh, Stefan?” Katherine said. “It was a rhetorical question. I couldn’t care less about her”
Stefan turned around and walked to the table and sank down on a chair. “This is my fault” he said. “Anything that happened regarding Amber is my fault. If she dies it’s on my hands”
Damon raised his eyebrows. “A lot of people have died on your hands and you never cared about them either” Stefan drank some blood from a glass, so he wouldn’t have to comment on that. “You’re afraid the werewolves got to her?” Damon continued a little compassionate. But Stefan didn’t have to answer that either because the door went open and Caroline, Bonnie and Elena came in.
“Good, now we’re sure everyone’s safe and happy I’m going to bed” Katherine said and she went upstairs.
Damon sank down on the couch and Stefan walked to Elena. “Hey, you okay?” he asked soft. Elena nodded. “I can clean that up if you want” he said pointing at the blood on Elena’s neck. Elena touched her neck. “Yeah, that would be nice” she said distracted. “Okay, let me get a towel” Stefan said and he walked to the kitchen. Elena fell down on the couch and rest her head on Damon’s shoulder.
Bonnies face stiffened, but Caroline pulled her towards the door. “I think that’s our key” she winked. She pulled Bonnie outside.
“Damon better not do anything” Bonnie said. “Elena’s his brother’s girl”
Caroline lay her hands on Bonnies shoulders. “Bonnie, is there something you have to tell me?”
Bonnie looked up, a sudden sad gleam in her eyes, and for a moment she just wanted to let it out. But then she shook her head. “No, I’m okay” she said.
Inside Stefan saw how Elena leaned against Damon, who had closed his eyes. He walked to the couch and tapped Elena’s shoulder. “Elena?”
But Elena pressed herself against Damon’s side. Stefan sighed and threw the towel on the table. He walked away and went upstairs.
Damon’s phone buzzed and he woke up. He rubbed his eyes as he carefully pulled out his phone and answered it.
“Yeah?” he said sleepy.
“Damon” Alaric said. “Could you get me out of here? I’m in jail”
“She’s in the car with Caroline…and Bonnie” Katherine added grumpy. Stefan looked outside to see the car.
“The car that’s still on the road” Damon cleared up.

“Gerard committed suicide last night” Zoey said. “I found him hanging in our bedroom”
Daphne covered her mouth. “Oh my God, that’s…awful” she said
Daphne threw her arms around Zoey and Zoey faked a few tears and sobs. She pushed Daphne away and said she had to tell Alexia. She put her purse on the dresser, knowing Daphne would see the letter and be too curious to leave it where it is.
And indeed, a minute later, Daphne stormed outside, hysterically crying how everything was her fault.
Zoey walked back inside, trusting Daphne would need some time to calm down. She opened Daphne’s computer and connected a portable hard drive to it. The hard drive contained a fake video of Cas doing things with Alexia.
Zoey copied the video to Daphne’s files and then removed the hard drive. She closed the computer and called Alexia.
“Let’s go, Lex” she said. “We’re going to your grandparents”

The next morning.
Zoey was talking with the mortician, while Alexia was watching cartoons. At least Zoey was under the impression Alexia was watching cartoons. Until her little girl let out a shriek.
“Mommy!”
Zoey, scared something had happened to Alexia, jumped up and ran into the sitting room. Alexia was staring at the screen.
“Lex, what’s going on? You almost gave mommy a heart attack” Zoey said and swallowed a few times to calm down.
“Mommy, come look” Alexia said breathless. “Uncle Emmanuel is on TV”
Zoey rushed to the television and increased the volume.
“Last night the police arrested a man named Castiel for the abuse of a four year old girl” the newsreader said.
“Alexia, go play outside” Zoey said trembling.
“Why do they call him Castiel, mommy? His name’s Emmanuel” Alexia said confused.
“Now!” Zoey yelled and Alexia ran outside.

The door of Meg’s motel room opened and Meg stared at the door way. She was still stuck under the Key of Solomon.
“Anna told me you were innocent for a change” Sam said.
“Well, now that you’ve discovered I’m actually a saint, could you get me out of here?” Meg suggested. Sam shook his head and walked towards her, though kept a safe distance. “First I want to set a few things straight. Castiel is not going to leave prison, unless you do something. Personally, I don’t care if you killed that man or not. What I do care about is that you’re the only one who can get him out of there” Sam said.
“Why would I help him? What’s in it for me?” Meg wanted to know.
“If you do the right thing, then I guarantee you Dean and I will never try to kill you again. You’ll be off our radar for good” Sam said.
That was a tempting offer. “What do you want me to do?” she asked.
