The Vampire Diaries (2009–2017): Season 3, Episode 7 - Ghost World - full transcript

Previously
on "the Vampire Diaries"...

The only
thing stronger

than your craving for blood is
your love for this one girl.

Turn it off.

No!

Turn it off!

- What did you do?
- I fixed him.

Klaus is gone.

He's asked me to keep watch
on you until he returns.

From now on,
you're under my protection.

It's kind of
a push and pull.



I'm pushing from the other
side trying to contact you,

and sometimes, like
just now, if you pull...

Bonnie, stop
dodging my calls.

Why are you thinking about me
when you're calling her?

I don't think I can
stop thinking about you.

- Who's the guy with Carol?
- Mason Lockwood.

Mason Lockwood
is a werewolf.

He'd kill me
the first chance he got.

This is going to be fun.

Oh, you got
to be kidding me.

Hurts, doesn't it?

Oh, Stefan!

Low blow, Stefan.

Low blow.



What the
hell happened to you?

Whatever twisted
ripper game this is,

leave me out of it.

I didn't do this.

Quit screwin' around!

- I didn't.
- Ahh.

It's pretty messed up
though, isn't it?

Yep.

Aaahhh! Ahhh.

Yeah,

not to worry.
I'll just untangle myself.

As a long-time member
of the historical society,

I am especially proud to be kicking
off this day of festivities.

Thank you, volunteers.

Tonight, we turn off
our town's lights

started by our founders
150 years ago.

Here's founding family member
Tobias fell with a history lesson.

What are we doing here?

Tobias fell is the head
of the history department.

I didn't have a choice.

All right, that explains
what you're doing here.

Well, I'm the one who can fail
you if you don't help me out.

Hey, sorry I'm late.
What did I miss?

Just a bunch of
historical lies.

You didn't miss anything.

The first illumination
was held in celebration

with the new found
prosperity

that Mystic Falls
enjoyed after the war.

After the founders stole
from all the vampires.

What's so funny?

To indicate that it was safe for
their neighbors to come outside again.

Safe from
the vampires.

So when you did the spell
to send Vicki away,

did that get rid
of Anna, too?

I wish. All I did was block
the magic that was helping

Vicki get a physical
foothold here.

Jeremy's still got a direct
line to the other side,

and as long as he wants to see
Anna and she wants to see him,

she's still here.

Ok, you don't think I can actually
resist commenting on that.

There. You commented.

Bonnie...

What do you want me
to say, Caroline?

I went against the balance of nature
when I brought Jeremy back to life,

and now I'm paying
the consequences.

Well, I want you to say
you're not ok with it.

I'm a thousand times
not ok with it.

I just don't know
what to do about it.

Greetings, blondie.

Witchy. I think you got your
voodoo wires all crossed

when you got rid
of Vicki Donovan.

What do you mean, why?

Because I'm pretty sure
I just got spit-roasted

by Mason Lockwood's ghost.
What?

And why would you
think that?

Maybe because
he chained me to a chair

and shoved a hot
poker in my chest.

Let's just say
I'm having deja vu.

I thought you said that ghosts couldn't
physically interact with people.

- They can't.
- Yeah, well,

I don't have time
for a vengeful Lockwood.

When I kill someone, they're
supposed to stay dead.

Whatever you screwed up, fix it.

Hey, Jer, I need you
to help me with something.

What's up?

I've been going through
Stefan's old journals.

Every single time that he's
gone off the rails in the past,

his best friend Lexi's been
the one to bring him back.

So where is she now
that we need her?

She's dead.

And you want me to try
to reach her, don't you?

I thought if I knew how she did
it, maybe I could help him.

I don't even know if
she's on the other side.

Is that what it's called?

That's what
Anna calls it.

There's not like an official
brochure or anything.

So what is it, like some sort
of supernatural purgatory?

Well, Anna said it's like
being here with all of us,

only we can't see
her or hear her.

And she can't
interact with anyone.

She's all alone.

Vicki could interact.
She blew up my car.

Vicki had help from a
witch on the other side.

Anna...She's doing
this all by herself.

I'm just saying, maybe we learned our
lesson about summoning dead people.

I haven't seen
Vicki, I swear.

I sent her back
like you told me to.

Are you sure?

Because she has just as
much reason to haunt Damon

as Mason Lockwood does.

She's gone, Bonnie.
If she was here, I'd know it.

Why do you think
it's Vicki and not Mason?

Because if any ghost
other than Vicki Donovan

has a physical foothold
on our side,

then that means Damon's
right and something

has gone really,
really wrong.

I've had enough of this ghost
stuff to last forever.

So you guys can
leave me out of this one.

I feel so sad for him.

It took a lot for him
to send his sister away.

Yeah.

So much strength as a man.

I've got a ghost problem
to deal with, Caroline.

Save the Jeremy
lecture for later.

Ok, did your grimoire just...

I think so.

Ok, please tell me that's
a recipe for witch cookies.

It's a manifestation spell.

It's used to reveal
veiled matter.

What's veiled matter?

Ghosts.

Do you think it's even
possible to contact Lexi?

I don't know.

I didn't have an emotional
connection with her.

- I never even met her.
- Can we just drop it, please?

No, I can't drop it, Ric.
I don't know what else to do.

Don't you think we have a few too
many dead vampires in our past

to be sitting here thinking
of them watching us?

I don't think all supernatural
spirits go to the other side.

I think some of them
find peace.

Is Anna here right now?

Don't tell her I'm here.
She won't like it.

No, no. I'm going to go, uh,
check my work schedule.

Hey, guys.

Who forgot to invite me
to the family summit?

Hmm?

Wow.

All these words.

I forgot how much
I used to care.

I didn't.

You know, Elena,
it's probably best

you not torture yourself
with memories from the past.

It's best we both
just move on

and accept things
as they are.

You don't have
to be here, Stefan.

You know what, Alaric,
you're right. I don't.

But Elena's here,
and I look out for Elena.

Besides, there's going to be
people everywhere tonight.

So there's going
to be lots to eat.

I'm kidding,
I'm kidding.

Loosen up.

I can't drop it, Ric.

So this is where you brought
Jeremy back to life.

Yeah.

Sorry, I know it's creepy,

but we needed a private place
around here to do the spell.

Hmm. There's
no chance it's haunted

by the hundred
dead witches

who were horrifically
burned to death

in this very spot,
is there?

They're not here anymore.

And they made it clear
they were never coming back.

Right.

A pinkie swear?

What's wrong?

Why did you tell me to lie?

Elena is Bonnie's
best friend.

She won't like what's
going on between us.

What is
going on between us?

Ok, how are we able to touch?

Vicki had to use magic
to do that.

I don't know.
Honestly, I have no idea.

This witch on the other side
that gave Vicki her foothold,

is she helping you now?

What? No!

I'm all alone, Jeremy,
I told you that.

Swear to me.

I swear.

I'm not any danger to you
or anybody, I promise.

Hey.

I need you
to believe me.

I shouldn't even be
talking to you.

This is not ok.

Then send me away.

I'm only here because
you want to be with me

as much as I want
to be with you.

Send me away, Jeremy.

It's that easy.

I don't know why
this is happening

or when it's
going to stop.

But before it's done...

I have to do this.

Ready?

Do you need me to do...

Right. Ok.

I'll grab Jeremy.

I'll be right back.

You know, I've had enough
vampires today, thanks.

Oh, come on. Have a drink with me.
We've got trouble.

No, you've got trouble.
See, we're not a team.

You tried to kill me.
All right? We're not friends.

- I don't like you anymore.
- Ah!

But remember back
when you liked me

and we conspired to kill Uncle
werewolf Mason Lockwood?

Yeah, and?

I think he's still
a little pissed.

Bonnie,
I don't like this.

Bonnie...

Oh, my God.
Is that your...

Grams.

Anna?

Lexi.

- Mason!
- God, I miss whisky.

Ahh! Ow.

Told ya.

Hi.

- You're dead.
- Well, technically, so are you.

Then how the hell
can I see...

See me?
Yeah, I have no idea.

And I have no idea
how long it's going to last,

so let's get right
to the point.

You're off the rails.
Big time.

Look, I don't know
how you're here,

but you need to
leave me alone, ok?

Now what kind of
a friend would I be

if I didn't help you out
of this mess you're in?

I don't want your help.

You know,
you say that every time.

"I don't want your help, I don't
want to get better, leave me alone."

Well, maybe you should
listen this time.

Or maybe I should do this.

I can't believe you're here!

Now stop your crying, we
don't have time for tears.

Nice to see you
again, Caroline.

Hi, miss Sheila.

A fine mess
you've made, honey.

The witches told you
there'd be consequences

to bringing Jeremy back
and you did it anyway.

I didn't have a choice.

I love him and I...
I couldn't just let him go.

I understand.

But you cracked open the
door to the other side.

There's an old witch over here.
She took advantage of it.

She took advantage
of you, honey.

When you did that spell to
send Vicki Donovan away,

she wedged
the door wide open.

Giving a free pass to anybody
with unfinished business.

- How do you know this?
- Witches talk.

Even on the other side.

Who do you think
makes all the rules?

What does the witch want?

That's original vampire
business, not yours.

I don't want you getting
in the middle of that.

I'm here

because you upset
the balance of nature.

And it's your duty
to set it right.

You need to close
that door.

How do we do that?

Apparently the old witch can
draw power from this side

because of her talisman.

Talisman...
My necklace?

It's some
ju ju power source.

And I know you're not
going to like this,

but Bonnie needs
to destroy it.

I just walked in
on Jeremy kissing the reason

I'm completely ok with that.

What?!
Are you kidding?

I wish. Look, I don't
have the necklace.

Damon has it somewhere.

Text him.
I'll call you right back.

- Elena...
- You need to disappear

or evaporate or whatever it is
that you ghosts do.

Hey, it's not
her fault.

You're right, it's yours.

How did this happen?

I don't know. Ok?
I don't know.

It just... it did.

Elena, please.

You can't tell Bonnie.

- Don't worry.
- I'm going to let you do that.

Right after I help her
send the ghosts away.

Looks like today was a good day
to be thinking about me, Elena.

- Lexi?
- Mm-hmm. Come with me.

Where?

Ripper detox 101.
Crash course.

I...

I'm sorry, did you not just
say how desperate you were

for my help in saving
Stefan's life?

Let's go.

I am never going to hear the
end of that damn necklace.

One of you will pay
for this, right?

Cheers.

Let's get to it.
I killed you.

You want revenge.
Get in line.

Actually, I want an apology.

Good luck with that.

Don't you have
a family to haunt?

You know your nephew has turned
into a mindless hybrid Minion.

That's why I'm here.
To help Tyler.

Well, sorry to
break it to you, buddy,

but Tyler can't be helped.

At least not while
Klaus is alive.

Which is, like, always.

Not necessarily.

Not if you found a weapon
that could kill him.

There is no
weapon that...

What do you know?

I know you need
to apologize.

You got to be kidding me.

Are you incapable of
remorse? Just apologize!

You're right.

I didn't have
to kill you.

I do a lot of things
I don't have to do.

That's good enough.

Meet me at the old
Lockwood cellar.

Bring a shovel.

And come alone.

What, you're going
to bury me alive?

Don't tempt me.

Klaus really did
a number on him, huh?

He compelled him to
turn off his humanity.

Well, we're just going to have to
convince him to turn it back on.

I have to warn you,
it's not going to be pretty.

I can handle it.

Wake up, sleepyhead.

How you feelin'?

What is this?

- Let me out of here!
- Shh.

Inside voices, please.

I'm trying to get
inside your head.

Elena.

Get rid of her, please.

No.

First step,
drying him out.

Starve away the blood lust.

Strip away the temptation.

This isn't
going to work, Lexi.

You can't do this.

You heard
the not pretty part?

I heard you.

What are you doing?

What are you doing, Lexi?!

Doing what I do
best, sweetness.

I'm saving your life.

I'm surprised you showed.

You put a snag in my
only other Klaus lead.

So I'd say I'm
highly motivated.

- Mikael?
- Yeah.

That didn't turn out
so great, did it?

How do you know
so much?

There's not much to do
on the other side

but sit around and watch
other people screw things up.

What are we looking for?

There's an old
Lockwood family legend

about a weapon that can kill
an original vampire.

Like the rest of their secrets,

they kept it buried.

Oh, come on,
give me the thing.

Move.

I got it.

Go for it.

You first.

What, you think
I'm leading you into a trap?

The thought
crossed my mind.

- I'm starving.
- I'm starving.

I'm starving!
Let me out!

Let me out.
Please let me out.

- What's happening?
- He's hallucinating.

That's three months
without any blood.

- Let me out!
- Now he's at nine months.

Two years...

Five.

Did I ever tell you
how glad I am that you're dead?

Oh. I missed you,
too, friend.

Hello?

So the necklace isn't where
Damon said it would be

and now we can't
reach Damon.

Listen, I need you
to get Bonnie to hold off

on sending the ghosts back.

What?!

But you said you were
in full support

of getting rid of them.
I was.

I am. Look,

Lexi's here and she's
helping with Stefan.

Ok, let's just
find it first

and then we'll choose between
boyfriend ghost dramas.

What are you
talking about?

Um...Lexi's back,

so Elena wants us to hold off
on destroying the necklace.

You said boyfriend
dramas. Plural.

What is it,
Caroline?

Elena caught Jeremy
kissing Anna.

What?

I'm sorry.

He kissed her?

She's got a foothold now,

so she probably thinks
that she's here to stay.

But you and I, Bonnie, we're
going to find that necklace.

Ok?

Ok.

Anna!

Anna.

Sorry.

Anna!

Hey, man
sorry about that.

No problem, buddy.

Have you seen Tobias Fell?

He's supposed to do
the lighting ceremony.

No.

Well, well.

- Frederick?
- If it isn't pearl's daughter.

Little Annabelle.

Good evening,
ladies and gentlemen.

Mr. Fell seems
to have been detained,

so the history department's very own Mr.
Saltzman has agreed to fill in.

Anna!

Still hanging around
the Gilbert kid, huh?

I guess you forgot the fact that his
family killed you and your mother.

There you are.

Is everything
all right?

Ask your ancestors.

What are you doing
here, Frederick?

Well, it's a founder's
celebration.

And we...

Have got some unfinished business
with the founding families.

On behalf of Mystic Falls high
school historical society,

let's light 'em up.

Elena, Elena.

I'm hurting.
Please help me.

Don't listen.
Shut him out.

I am helping you,
Stefan.

I'll do anything.
I'll change. I promise.

It's a lie.
He'll say anything right now.

Elena, I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.
Just make it stop.

Please, just make it stop.

You have to separate
yourself from your emotions.

Don't let him
play with them.

Hey, look at me.
Look at me.

Elena. I love you, ok?

I love you.

I love you so much.

I love you so much, Elena.

I'm sorry, Stefan, I
just don't believe you.

You know what?

I don't want your help, anyway.

I wish I'd never met you.

Every single moment
that I've spent with you

has been a complete
and total waste.

You see that?
That's the ripper talking.

Once he's weak enough,
you have to cause him pain.

Make him feel things.

Anger, rage, anything.

You have to make him
see past the blood.

Think of it as a regimen.

Day in and day out.
Like running the treadmill.

Like making coffee.

Until he's ready
to be saved.

I will rip you apart, Lexi!

You can't.
I'm already dead.

I can't...

Ugh! I give up.

It's not anywhere
in this room.

What do you want,
Jeremy?

Caroline?

Did you find that necklace?

Not yet. Wait,
what's going on?

Ghosts of the tomb vampires
killed Tobias Fell.

You might want to
find that necklace

before they start
going alphabetically

through the founding families.

Well, it's not where
it's supposed to be.

Unless
someone took it.

Who?

Well, who do you think?

I didn't.

She said she didn't take it.

Oh, and you believe her.

I didn't take it,
Jeremy.

You know what, yeah,
yeah, I do believe her.

You know what, you're an even
bigger idiot than I thought.

So wake up, Jeremy, before
you lose everything.

Jeremy?

What happened?

I'm still waiting for
the other shoe to drop.

Your motives are
deceptively pure.

You talk the talk, but I know you'll
do anything for your brother.

You won't screw me over

as long as we have
the same agenda.

I'm supposed to believe you're
not going to screw me over?

All right.
Which way?

I don't know. Flip a coin.

Aren't you supposed
to be all-knowing?

I'm a ghost. I'm not God.

Go left.

Or not.

You have trust issues.
Anyone ever tell you that?

Yo.

Help a brother out?

Mason?

Where is Anna now?

I don't know, ok?
I don't even know for sure

if she took the necklace.

She was the only person who
heard us talking about it.

Of course she took it. Ok?
We have to get it back.

We have to destroy it
and then close the door.

- I know, but...
- But what?

What, Jer?

I can touch her, Elena.

I can kiss her again.

And I know it's wrong,

and I know that
I shouldn't feel this way,

but I do.

I love her.

I've always loved her.

But it's not real.

She's dead. Gone.

Everything that you're hold
on to is in the past, Jer.

Are you going
to love a ghost

for the rest
of your life?

He's at the beginning
of his life, Anna.

You're just
holding him back.

You know that.

Call Bonnie.

Tell her that
you have the necklace.

Get her to send
the ghosts away.

Oh, I'm having a bad day.

Sorry. Thought
you might need this.

You're welcome.

What's your game, man?

I killed you.

I jammed my fist
into your chest.

I ripped your heart out.

There's no way this whole
buddy-trust act is real.

You know what
the other side is like?

We're all alone.

We watch the people
we left behind

and we regret our decisions.

That's it.

Look, I can't change
what happened to me.

But maybe I can change
what happens to Tyler.

I don't need revenge, Damon.

I need redemption.

Ok.

Jeremy's got
the necklace.

He's going to meet us
at the witch house.

Ok. What's going on up there?

It's Mrs. Lockwood's car.

Bonnie?

- I'm going to get out of the car.
- What?!

And you're going to drive
the hell away from here.

No way! I am not
leaving you!

Bonnie, you've got
your ghost boyfriend drama.

Elena has hers.
And right now the mother of mine

is about to be ghost bait.

So go and send them all back
to the other side, ok?

This spell is just going to
break your foothold, right?

You'll still be here, I'll
still be able to see you.

This... this doesn't have
to be good-bye.

No. But it should be.

Elena was right.
I'm holding you back.

Anna...

I'm sorry I took
the necklace.

I just thought,

with all the tomb vampires
out, that maybe...

You might find
your mother.

I don't know where
she is, Jeremy.

I don't know if she's
moved on and found peace,

or if there's even
any peace to be found.

Hey, there is, Anna.

Ok, there has to be.

I believe that, ok?

I just...

I don't want
to be alone anymore.

You're not going
to be alone.

I'm not going
to let you be alone.

Quit fighting me, Stefan.

I know you're in there.

Not anymore, Lexi.

You know you say
that every time.

Until I make you
feel again.

Unnggghh!

You wasted your whole life
taking care of me.

Now you're dead and you still
have nothing better to do.

We're running
out of time.

- You've got to get me more.
- I can't.

No! No... not until
I break through.

I can't, Lexi.
They have a necklace.

They're going
to close the door.

The necklace.

Ok.

That necklace.

At least tell me you remember
how you felt about that.

You found it during
your darkest time.

And you said, when
you made it through,

that that necklace
represented hope.

Ironic, then, that it's about
to be blown to pieces.

God! This is not
happening.

- What now?
- I can't get through.

It's like I'm not invited in.

Wait.

I'm not stopping
just 'cause you're stuck.

- I'll let you know what I find.
- Yeah, but...

Looks like you're going
to have to trust me.

Bonnie!

So?

What'd you find?

It's in...

No, no, no, no.

No, where'd you go?

Mason, Mason!

He's still
in there, Elena.

You just have
to break through.

It's ok, Lexi,
I know what to do now.

You can be free.

Mama?

You are stronger
than all of this.

I'm so proud of you.

- You're here.
- It's about time.

Didn't have
anyone else to call?

No, actually,
I don't.

'Cause I need a non-vampire
to get in the cave,

and other than Elena, you're
pretty much the only one I trust.

Well, you have a crappy
way of showing that.

Look, if Mason Lockwood can get
over the fact that I killed him,

can't you cut me
a little slack, Ric?

I shouldn't have
to get over it.

I was your friend, Damon.

You shouldn't have done it
in the first place.

Well! Sometimes...

I do things
I don't have to do.

You're going to recycle

that same crap ass apology
you gave Mason Lockwood?

Yeah. Well...

I didn't mean it
with him.

So what are you going
to do, Elena?

You just going to stand there?

Waiting for me to dry out?

No, I'm going
to go home,

take care of my brother.
Be a friend to Bonnie

and everything else
that I have to do.

That's good for you.

You know, I was wondering
when you were going to give up.

Lexi gave you...

enough of a glimpse into
your tragic future.

I haven't given up, Stefan.
I still have hope.

But there's nothing that I can
do until you get yours back.

Hey.

You can
break through this.

Fight for it.

Feel something.
Anything, Stefan.

Because if you don't,

you're going
to lose me forever.

I won't love a ghost
for the rest of my life.

Bonnie...

Just go away, Jeremy.

I owe you
an explanation.

Matt let go of a sister
before you let go of Anna.

His sister, Jeremy.

You know what you owe me?

The respect of not making me
listen to you explain yourself.

I am sorry, Bonnie.

You need to go.

But...

Just go, Jeremy.

So was Mason screwing with me,
or is there something in there?

Ric.

Ric.

I found something.

What is it?

I have no idea.
