An eagle (Misao) approaches to an upper floor of Shi no Shi, and enters the building breaking the window. Inari, who was apparently in the room she entered, is startled by this entrance and looks at the eagle as it turns into Misao. Misao then stands up and looks at Inari.

Inari: "Well well. Whaddayaknow.."

Misao: "Sorry for the entrance." (uses magic to fix the windows) "But I had to see you immediately. This can't wait."

Inari: "Listening."

Misao: "I've discovered the location of the rebel base. Apparently they've been hiding in a witch hideout ever since."

Inari: "Interesting. How did you learn this?"

Misao: "I read it from a rebel's mind."

Inari: "And I trust the rebel is not breathing now."

Misao: "I'm sorry."

Inari: (looks at Misao) "I understand the situation was extreme. But more than that, I find this information rather useless."

Misao: "With all due respect, I don't think it's completely useless. We can destroy the hideout to make sure they can never go back there."

Inari: "Do you think they'll go back?"

Misao: (after a brief silence) "No."

Inari: "Then you have something else to tell me!"

Misao: "The doppelganger and the fugitives are with them. They past Shi no Shi and their destination is the Guardian's Gate. They intend to use the device and go to Earth."

Inari: (looks at her for a moment) "The only way they can pass near this building without getting caught is if their witch had harnessed the energy of the hideout, which renders it's location useless anyway."

Misao: "Point well made."

Inari: "I will take care of the rebel situation, and you will make sure no one is left behind. We don't have enough time to remove the device, so you will make sure no one gets to it."

Misao: (emotionally) "Inari?" (Inari looks at her) "Can I see him?"

Inari: "After that."

Misao nods, then leaves the room.


Rebels are preparing to leave. Most of them are ready and waiting the others. Elena is distant from everyone and staying close to Hope and Max. Damon and Stefan see this. They are not exactly okay with it, but they are aware that especially after what she learned about Klaus and June, they have to give her the break she needs. Bonnie is staying distant from everyone too, but hers is not by choice. Aside from Meredith and Damon, who hated her badly due to what she did to Natalie, others are clearly not appreciating as well. Nathan, who apparently learned what happened from Meredith over the night, is not taking it well either. Also Klaus is looking at Damon not so friendly, and the brothers are near each other but feeling distant due to their fierce fight with each other yesterday.

Damon looks at Bonnie for a while, then starts walking to her. Stefan quickly goes near him and holds his arm.

Stefan: "Damon, don't."

Damon: (shakes his arm with annoyance) "I'm not seeking fight. Now leave me alone."

Upon this Stefan leaves him, and Damon comes near Bonnie. She stops preparing and looks at him, ready to defend herself in case he attacks.

Damon: "Was it worth it? What you did to Natalie, the power you gave to Misao, taking a life, having to carry such burden for the rest of your life. Was it worth it?"

Bonnie: "What do you want to hear, an apology?"

Damon: "I don't want an apology. Nor would accept if you did."

Bonnie: "Then what do you want?" (both look at each other nervously) "You know you would kill me in a heartbeat for a chance to save Elena. You can sell all those noble acts to someone who doesn't know you, but I know who you are! At least I earned being selfish."

Damon: (after a tense silence) "Here's how this is gonna work. On account of us being in this together, I'm gonna let this pass. We are here to save Elena, so I'm gonna to put my differences aside, and we'll work together. Okay?" (Bonnie looks a little relieved, and Stefan is looking at him, apparently not expecting such move from Damon) "But this doesn't mean I'm forgiving you, or I'm moving on. This truce is until we are done. Once we go back to Mystic Falls, you will leave town. If I see you, I will kill you."

Bonnie looks at Damon. He isn't threatening, or he isn't trying to scare her. He is simply saying what he is going to do. She quickly looks at Stefan and Meredith. She is fully aware that there is no one on her side. She finally looks at Damon and nods. Upon this Damon turns back near Stefan to continue preparing. As he walks away, Elena is seen close to them, apparently heard their conversation. Bonnie sees her and tries to talk to her, but before she can open her mouth, Elena turns back and walks away.


Katherine breaks Aiden's door lock, and Chris walks inside. Then he looks at Katherine, and she tries to step in. They both not like it when she can. They start searching the house together. After a while Katherine breaks the silence.

Katherine: "I smell blood."

Chris: (nervously) "Isn't this is one of those times that you wish June was around?"

Katherine: (sarcastically) "You know, when this is over, I'm gonna find you a psychic girlfriend."

Chris: (smiles) "Is that is a promise?"

Katherine: (after a brief funny silence) "So how are things going between you and witch?"

Chris: "Very good actually, thanks for asking!"

Katherine: "Really? Because you're too enthused about a psychic girlfriend."

Chris: "Didn't say I was against tricycle!"

Katherine: (chuckles) "Jerk!"

Chris: (smiles) "You know, I thought after five centuries you'd be used to men with awkward fantasies!"

Katherine: "You know you're talking to a woman who wanted to live with two brothers forever, right?"

Chris: "Right. I can't top that one!"

Then they open a door, and both startle because of a body falling on them as soon as the door opens. They step back and the body falls face down. Then Katherine pushes it with her foot to see his face. When they see it's Aiden, both look at each other uncomfortably.

Cops and ambulance arrive in no time. A crowd of people, mostly neighbors, watch them as they take Aiden's body away. Meanwhile the gang on earth has gathered outside Aiden's house, watching everything in shock. After the body is taken, they slowly walk back to Lockwood house while discussing what they should be doing now. Because the only two people who might be on their side in the council is killed in one day, and that being mayor and sheriff could also cause panic among town's people. Tyler says that could actually be a good thing, because if they will be here during the kitsune strike, a lot of people could die. Caroline says maybe her mom will be sheriff again. Katherine says only if the council approves, and they would never. Upon this they all remain silent and keep walking.


Back in the Dark Dimension, the rebels are almost ready to hit the road again. Despite some of the people made peace, the atmosphere is still a lot tense, as no one is talking to each other, or if they do, they talk quietly.

Elena looks at Klaus for a while, then goes near him. Stefan sees her going near him. He doesn't say or do anything, but he curiously watches.

Elena: (to Klaus) "I need to talk to you."

Klaus: (without looking at her) "You came all the way here because you need to talk to me."

Elena: "I don't know what deal you made with June, or anyone else. And I don't care. Once we go back to Mystic Falls, you will leave her alone."

Klaus: (stands up and looks at her) "Or?"

Elena: "I'm not threatening."

Klaus: "Really? Because you sound a lot like you are."

Elena: "She is just a kid. She has a whole life ahead of her, and I don't want her to waste it for your stupid obsessions. I'm sure even a man like you would have some morals left."

Klaus: "When she talked to me she was pretty convincing."

Elena: "Cut the crap, Klaus! I'm offering you what you always wanted!" (Klaus suddenly fiercely looks at her, indicating he doesn't like her attitude. Upon this Elena calms down) "Please. I beg you. If you take her that'll kill me."

Klaus: "If I take you, Stefan and Damon would come after me to save you. Not that I'm afraid of them, but I don't like people following me around."

Elena: "Then I'll talk to them. Get you to compel them if necessary. You'll have me, your hybrids, and you will be left alone. Everybody will win."

Klaus: "Everybody but you."

Elena: "I can live with that." (takes a step towards him) "But if you take her, I will come after you, and I give you my word that I will not just come with Stefan and Damon."

Klaus: (looks at her fiercely) "Fine. I'll have you and we will leave town. But just to be clear, if I find any of them following us, or if you run, hide, disobey, or do anything remotely funny; I will return to Mystic Falls, and kill everyone you love!"

Then grabs his backpack and leaves, leaving Elena in horror, while Stefan watches unhappily.


It's almost noon on Earth when the gang arrives to Lockwood house. They stop at the porch and look at each other until Tyler speaks.

Tyler: "Is anyone else hungry?"

Samara: (smiles) "Is that a joke?"

Tyler: "June must have prepared breakfast by now."

Chris: (jokingly) "I hope it's not blood sausage. 'Cause I'm starting."

Tyler: (smile) "It's not."

Then they walk inside. But before they enter the living room, the doorbell rings. Tyler weirdly looks at others, then goes to open the door. They are all surprised to see that it's a member of the founder's council.

Councilor: "Hi. May I come in?"

Katherine: "Depends on why you are here."

Councilor: "To talk."

Upon this Tyler looks back to see the others. Apparently no one found this convincing. So with a weird smile, he steps aside and lets him in. But as soon as he walks in, Caroline rushes to him and slams him to the wall with her vampire speed.

Caroline: "I'm gonna ask this just once, so you better be honest! What're you up to?"

Councilor: (freaks) "Nothing, I came here in peace!"

Tyler: (rhetorically) "Why do I find this so hard to believe?"

Councilor: "Because we have no motive. The council is down to six people. Others either left town, died, or their whereabouts are unknown."

They are all surprised to hear this. Samara holds Caroline, so she leaves him.

Samara: "Why are you telling this to us?"

Councilor: "I was hoping to find Caroline, that's why I'm here." (looks at Caroline) "I need you to talk to your mother and convince her to be sheriff again."

Katherine: "Why her? She is a vampire sympathizer and the council knows that."

Councilor: "We are desperate! Mayor's and sheriff's deaths are announced in one day, and that scared a lot of people. Some of them even started to leave town, it's a total chaos at the town center. Liz is a familiar face and she is the only one who can take the pressure of that position at such time. Besides, no one else would want."

Caroline: "Then why are you talking to me and not my mother in person?"

Councilor: "Because I needed to talk to Tyler too." (Tyler weirdly looks at him) "We tried calling Carol, but turns out she changed her number. We assumed you would be the only person who knows how to contact her."

Tyler: "And I'm intending to keep it that way."

Councilor: "Look, what happened with your mother was a misunderstanding, and the charges are dropped a long time ago. I understand if she's heartbroken, but we need a mayor, and we need it now!"

Caroline: (sarcastically) "Is it because Carol is the only one who can handle being a mayor at such time?"

Councilor: "Mystic Falls was a safe place when it was Carol and Liz. Whatever they were doing, they were doing it right, but the next ones totally messed up. The rest of us agree that Liz and Carol should be in charge again."

After hearing this, Samara and June smile weirdly, as they are apparently enjoying what is going on.

Katherine: (after a brief silence) "Would you tell us the same things if I compel you?"

Councilor: "I came here on vervain, but I would. Mystic Falls is on the verge of a crisis. People did not unsee the weird things that has been going on for years. They've only been trying to deny, or ignore, or cover up, but this was the last straw. The council needs people who can bring order and peace. No one has time for plotting and scheming. There is no catch. If they want the job, it's theirs."

Upon this the gang looks at each other, apparently convinced.


In the dark dimension, the sky has started to become darker. While Max and Hope are heading at the front, looking at the map and discussing something, the others are following them, apparently tired. Hope quickly looks at everyone, then continues to discussing with Max. Less than a minute later, Max turns to the crowd and calls out to everyone.

Max: "We expect to arrive to a lake approximately in one hour. There we will camp and spend the night resting. Because tomorrow we'll be at the Guardian's Gate. We don't know what we should expect to find there. No one has ever been there, or even this far. So everyone should be rested and at their best tomorrow. Because tomorrow guys, we are going to Earth! Nothing can go wrong!"

Then he turns and continues walking. The crowd sounds too enthusiastic about going to Earth, as happily indistinct chatters are heard around. Damon happily looks at Stefan. But Stefan is looking at someone behind Damon.

Stefan: "Elena!"

Damon quickly turns his head and looks at Elena.

Elena: "Feels like a dream, going to earth."

Damon: "I didn't know you were talking to us."

Elena: "I'm not. But I have to talk to you about something."

Damon: "I know. Stefan told me. You made another deal with Klaus."

Elena: "I had to do what I did to save June's life. You are not allowed to hate me for that!"

Damon: "I'm not hating, I'm.. Who am I kidding, I am hating you for that!"

Elena: (angrily) "Good! And now that we both hate each other, I don't want you to come after Klaus to save me!" (then tries to go away, but Damon grabs her arm) "Let go of me. Damon, let go of me!"

Damon: "If you think I don't care about anyone but you, then you have to get over yourself. I love June as a sister and it hurt me to watch her make that deal with Klaus, just as anyone else in that room, but I did not spend my last three months so that Klaus can make himself hybrid slaves!"

Elena: "You should've thought that when June was making that deal with Klaus!"

Then shakes her arm to get free of Damon's hold and walks away.


Caroline walks in her house, and on her way inside, she meets her mother in sheriff uniform. Smiles happily and says she didn't think she was going to see her in that outfit again. Liz says she too. Then says she has to go, she has a town to save. Caroline smiles and hugs her mother. Then Liz walks out and goes to meet the council. On her way she passes through the town center, which makes total chaos an understatement. It's like at least half of the people are leaving. Horns and engine sounds are everywhere, and there is an incredible traffic jam. She eventually arrives to Lockwood house, which the remaining six council members and Mystic Falls gang except Tyler have gathered. And in a minute Tyler comes downstairs, saying he called his mom and she agreed, but she cannot come before next week. Until then she gave him full authorization. One of the councilors rhetorically asks if this is a joke. Tyler says it's not. He is over 18, and as a Lockwood he is a member of the council too. He has as much right as everyone else here. Upon this the councilor scoffs. Others don't make a sound, but the way they look indicate they are not comfortable anyway. Then another one of them asks Liz what they will be doing. Liz says the ones that are leaving should be allowed to. They ask if she really thinks this is a wise move. Liz says if they are forced to stay they will riot. And since the kitsune are expected to strike anytime, the less people in town, the less collateral damage. Tyler asks if they should order an evacuation. Liz says they can't force them to leave either. Some people have nowhere else to go. Caroline says by tomorrow the town will be like haunted. Chris says she is right. Samara reminds that it's for the best. After a moment of silence, councilors say she is the sheriff, and they trust she will do the right thing. Liz nods. Katherine says their blood supply is almost ending again, and with no people in town, how are they supposed to feed. June agrees, no people means no blood in the blood bank. Councilors say they will do their best. Call neighbor towns if necessary. But they should not attack people. Katherine says she's taking all this crap to save her own life, so if she runs out of blood, she will do what she must. Upon this Liz tells the councilors to go to hospitals and blood bank and bring everything they can. The councilors get up and go to do what they are told. After they are gone, Caroline jokingly asks if he really talked to his mom. Tyler says he did, and she will come next week. Liz relieves, and says the way he entered and said it wasn't exactly ensuring. Samara asks if she should have cast that mind protection spell on them too, now that they are practically on their side. Liz asks what mind protection spell. Upon this everyone looks at her weirdly, as they remember that she doesn't know about it.

It's finally night in the Dark Dimension, and the rebels have arrived to the lake. There are tents around, and some people have started a fire to hang before sleeping. Meredith and Nathan are sitting distant from others. Nathan has given his back to a rock, and is cuddling Meredith.

Meredith: (looks at Max and Hope, who are sitting by the fire and discussing something) "Why aren't you with them? It's not like they haven't forgiven you."

Nathan: "They did. But I haven't."

Meredith: (looks at Nathan) "It's not your fault, you know."

Nathan: "Maybe. But my misleading cost me someone I love dearly as a mother. I can't just get over it, Meredith."

Meredith: "No one's asking you to redeem yourself."

Nathan: "I also hid Scott's death. I upset them. They're putting on a friendly mask but I know how they feel. Because I'd feel the same way."

Meredith: "And how do they feel?"

Nathan: "Heartbroken." (they look at each other) "It's the hardest thing to fix."

Then they hug each other. Meanwhile near another fire Klaus is sitting alone and looking into the dark forest. Elena comes near him and sits. Klaus looks at her.

Klaus: "What?"

Elena: (her voice indicates a request rather than demand) "I'm gonna need some time."

Klaus: "For what?"

Elena: "Before you and I leave. Klaus, I'm leaving a thirteen year old behind. I have to make sure.. I have to ensure her future, her safety. I have to teach her how to take care of herself. And I know that no matter how much time you give me it's never gonna be enough, but.. I still need some time." (her eyes become full with tears) "She has no one but me. I can't just leave her. I have to say her goodbye. Please!"

Klaus looks at her for a while. He clearly understands her pain.

Klaus: "Is one week enough?"

Elena: (smiles barely) "Thank you!"

Then gets up and goes to where she was, to Damon and Stefan's fire but to their opposite side. After a disturbingly long silence, Damon talks.

Damon: (to Elena) "When I first came into this dimension, I made a promise to myself. No matter what happens, no matter how bad everything turns out, I was gonna bring you home before your birthday. That was the birthday present I had in mind. Your home, your place, the air you longed. I wanted to give that to you. I wanted to give you your life back. Everyone did. And here we are, two days to your birthday and tomorrow we're at Guardian's Gate." (slowly looks at Elena) "Do you think this is fate?"

Elena: (inhales deeply, as she is having a conflict) "I understand why June made that deal. But you shouldn't have let her, Damon."

Damon: "There was no stopping her. She has Petrova fire!" (upon this Elena smiles genuinely) "Just as you do."

They look at each other smiling. But their fun is interrupted when they hear bangs from distance, which also shakes the ground like an earthquake, but little. Still, it's enough for the trees and their leaves to shake. They stand up and look around to see what's going on, but apparently no one can tell. Suddenly the bangs become closer and clearer, and that is when Damon can tell something is coming, but from underground. Everyone comes near each other quickly. Nathan, who is freaked out, says he thinks he knows what this is. Klaus says a little heads up would be nice before it's too late. Upon this all eyes are turned to Nathan.


The gang is at the Lockwood house, watching a movie. Suddenly Caroline complains how unfair the male lead is treating to the girl. Samara looks at her with funny eyes, and Tyler says she is the victim of a misunderstanding. Katherine asks if they are talking about the movie or something else. Chris says he think it's something else. Caroline suddenly becomes all defensive and asks if she is not even allowed to make a critique. Upon this they all laugh, and Katherine tells her to lighten up, they are just messing with her. But suddenly a powerful earthquake happens and the light go out. When the earthquake stops, Caroline, freaked out, asks if this is a part of the messing up too. Samara, equally freaked out, stands up and says it's not. Suddenly the front door breaks and the gang is startled. But before they can ask or even think anything, at least a dozen of kitsunes enter and attack them. Samara creates a fire with magic, but kitsunes make a counter spell to put it out. Then vampires and Chris attack, while June is trying to help with her barriers and Samara is helping with magic. But they are caught too off guard and unprepared, kitsunes overpower them in no time. Upon seeing no end, they decide to run. As they escape, the kitsunes attack them with fire balls, which Samara can hardly deflect. Suddenly Chris appears and force pushes the kitsune, then helps Samara and others run. As they are leaving, Tyler turns back and sees that the house is now completely on fire. Suddenly June remembers that the bodies are at the basement, and runs back into the house. Others freak out, but they realize they have to save them, so they run after her. Samara opens a breach in the fire, and they get in. They are forced to clash with the kitsunes inside, who are apparently looking for the bodies too. Tyler tells Katherine to help him fight these, while others should get the bodies to safety. Katherine asks if he is insane, but soon she agrees to stay. As the kitsunes attack them, the rest rush to the basement, where they meet another party. Samara pushes them with magic to give them enough time to get to the bodies. But as soon as they enter the basement, Chris sees that the ceiling is collapsing on the bodies, and he calls for his wings of protection to stop it. Caroline and June quickly go near the bodies, but they freak out when they see there is no way out but the door. Samara says this way is occupied. Chris quickly looks at the wall ahead of him, and says it's looking to south. So if they break it, they should be able to go out. Caroline reminds him that they are one floor underground, and they sure as hell don't have enough time to break the cement wall and dig their way up. But June suddenly claims that Chris can do it with his wings of destruction. But Chris says he's a little busy right now, indicating he is the one holding the ceiling from collapsing. June looks at the ceiling, and hesitantly says maybe she can hold it with her barriers. Samara quickly looks at her and then the ceiling, clearly sure that she can't lift that much weight. But June insists that they have to do something, they can't just stay here forever. Upon this Chris asks if she is sure. June takes a deep breath and nods, while she is clearly not. Then raises her hands and focuses on the ceiling, while Samara and Caroline look incredibly nervous. June tells Chris she is ready and he can let go. Chris says they should realize that if he destroys this wall, the house will not stand much long and it will collapse. June breaths heavily and says she knows what she is doing. Samara suddenly feels an incredible power forcing her through door, and she looses focus and rolls down the stairs. Upon realizing they've run out of time, Chris suddenly leaves the ceiling to June and calls his wings of destruction. June starts screaming with pain, as the ceiling is much heavier than she can take. Pieces start to fall, and the ceiling comes closer. Samara immediately casts a spell to the door to prevent passing, despite knowing it won't take long until they break it. Meanwhile Chris has destroyed the wall and weird noises start coming from the house, indicating it's about to collapse completely. Caroline quickly grabs Damon and Stefan, while Chris grabs Meredith. Samara gathers her strength and carries Bonnie. They all quickly go out, but before they can come back for June and Klaus, June cannot take any longer and the ceiling collapses on her. They all scream her name, but it doesn't help. Suddenly the walls start to collapse too, and they are forced to retreat. Meanwhile inside, Katherine and Tyler are fighting back to the kitsunes well enough. But upon realizing the house is collapsing, they rush outside, leaving every kitsune inside to burn in fire or die under the debris. They go out in the nick of time. But upon seeing the others' faces, they ask what happened. Caroline cries, and says June is left under the building.


Meanwhile in the Dark Dimension, the bangs from underground have come even closer. Damon is looking at Nathan weirdly.

Damon: "Ogres? Seriously?"

Meredith: "This is ridiculous, ogres don't exist."

Nathan: "Maybe not in your world, but here they do and they are very present right now!"

Damon: "And how can you make sure it's ogres?"

Nathan: "I've heard tales about them. More like horror stories. Two-men sized green skinned creatures who live underground."

Elena: "And they're coming because we are in their lands?"

Hope: "I think it's more than that!"

Klaus: "Inari?"

Hope: "I sure hope not!"

Max: "Misao runs and the next day we meet ogres. It's not a coincidence."

Damon: "Thanks for clearing that up, Captain Obvious!"

Bonnie: "They stopped!"

Upon this they all remain silent for a while. Indeed it appears like they stopped.

Elena: "Maybe they were just passing through?"

Stefan: (after a brief but disturbing silence) "I don't think so!"

Damon: "Any luck those tales can let us in on how do we kill them?"

Nathan: "Well, their skin should be impenetrable. So as far as I can tell, there's none."

Max: "Decapitation always works."

Nathan: "There is no weapon or strength that can do such thing!"

Max: "I was just saying."

Hope: "Better warn everyone. We should get out of here immediately!"

Max: "You're right!"

Then they spread out to warn everyone as soon as possible. But suddenly they are all startled with Nathan yelling.

Nathan: "Meredith, move!"

Meredith calls her wings, but suddenly remembers that she is not on vampire blood, as she gave the sample she was supposed to drink to Nathan. As a result her wings do not appear, and before she can move, the ground breaks with a noisy roar, and an ogre appears. The ogre hits Meredith with the wooden club at it's hand, and Meredith literally flies until she hits a tree. But due to the intense hit her spine is broken, and she drops dead near the tree.

Nathan runs near her and realizes she is indeed dead. As he holds her with an incredible sadness, Damon attacks the ogre from behind, intending to rip it's head off. Ogre tries to shake him off, but Damon is too fast for him. Suddenly he hears Bonnie yelling him to watch the other one. Damon asks what other one, but before she can answer, another ogre appears and grabs Damon. Then he throws him on Klaus, who is preparing for another attack. Then the first ogre comes and intends to crush them with it's club. Damon manages to dodge in the nick of time, but Klaus couldn't see it coming, and gets his ribs crushed literally. Damon finds enough time to yell Stefan to take Elena away, but then the ogre steps on him with all his weight, crushing him too. Stefan quickly grabs Elena, and despite she says she can't leave, Stefan takes her away with vampire speed.

Suddenly Bonnie makes up her mind, and uses magic to lift the ogre's club from it's hand, and telekinetically moves it to slam it to the ogre's head. The hit was apparently too extreme, as the ogre reels, and the club breaks. Bonnie then uses magic to lift him in the air as high as she can, but suddenly the other ogre throws it's club to Bonnie. Bonnie fails to see it coming in time, and the club pierces her body, killing her instantly.

During the action, rebels have found enough time to arm. As the ogre goes to Bonnie to take the wooden club back, Max yells the rebels to open fire. The ogre that Bonnie lifted stands up and runs to the army, which forces them to retreat step by step. Suddenly a rebel yells them to look out. When they turn around, they see a third ogre. But before they can make a single move, the ogre slams it's club and kills all of the rebels it can hit. Meanwhile the incessant firing on the other side pays off. One of the bullets hits an ogre's eye, rendering it blind. As it moves around with pain, it can't see where it's going, and drops into the lake. At that time the third ogre killed every single rebel, and goes to pull the ogre out from the water. But it's too late. The ogre is drowned and dead. As it yells with anger, something totally unexpected happens. Nathan hears a deep breathing from his back, and turns around quickly to see that Meredith has come back to life. Nathan immediately bends down and holds her. He says he can't believe it and this is a miracle. Meredith asks what happened. Nathan replies she died, and she is not a phantom. Meredith slowly says she isn't. Then sees the ogre, and stands up. The ogre sees her too. Gets up, grabs the wooden club, then dashes to Meredith and Nathan. Meredith calls her wings of destruction, but just like the last time, it doesn't work. But Meredith doesn't run, and incessantly keeps calling for her wings. It works out in the nick of time, and Meredith destroys the ogre with her wings just it was about to hit them.

Meredith looks at Nathan.

Nathan: "How did you know you were gonna to be able to use your wings?"

Meredith: (smiles) "You didn't make me run!"

Nathan: "Then you were pure lucky, because I was too busy freaking out to see what was gonna happen!" (suddenly they startle with another roar that came from the forest behind them) "I don't suppose you can use your wings again!"

They weirdly look at each other, then start running. As soon as they do, the third ogre comes out of the forest and starts chasing them. It's undeniably faster than them, so it doesn't take long until it catches up. Then it slams the club, but Nathan pushes her before it can hit her. They both fall down, and the ogre tries to take them both down. But they split up, and Nathan throws a rock to the ogre hoping it'll make the ogre chase him instead of her. But the ogre hisses to Nathan, then runs after Meredith. Meredith jumps to a tree, takes height and grabs a higher branch of another tree. But the ogre is coming at her smashing the trees. Nathan, knowing that she is in big trouble, runs after them. Meanwhile Meredith is indeed in great danger, as the ogre keeps hitting the trees and chasing her relentlessly. She eventually loses her balance and falls, but manages to grab another branch in the nick of time. The ogre tries to hit her, but she raises her feet and dodges that one. Then ogre intends to smash the tree, but before it can, Nathan arrives and kicks the ogre. The ogre steps back and attacks Nathan. But Nathan dodges and lands a flying punch to the ogre. Then ogre slams it's club to hit Nathan, but he dodges that too, kicks it's hand and makes it drop the weapon. But it is too late for the tree Meredith is holding on. As the tree starts falling, Nathan is distracted by Meredith being in danger of being stuck under the tree, and the ogre uses this to take him down. Then grabs it's club and intends to hit while he was still down. But he dodges, gets behind the ogre, and kicks it's balls as hard as it can. The ogre grunts, and Nathan says that always hurts. But the ogre quickly makes an attack, indicating it's still in the game. Nathan tries to fight back, but eventually realizes he has no chance against this beast and runs. The ogre chases him. Nathan is running as fast as it can, but the ogre is catching up. But suddenly before it can hit Nathan, something trips up the ogre and it falls down. Nathan stops and turns around to see it was Damon, who apparently healed. Then Klaus arrives too, and starts punching the ogre. In short time, Stefan arrives too, and all three vampires run around the ogre, landing punches and dodging any attempt to hit. Suddenly Damon grabs it's wooden club, and hits too hard to the ogre with it that it breaks. Then Stefan trips up the ogre again and it falls helplessly.

Suddenly Bonnie appears, casting an incredibly powerful spell. Klaus remembers that this spell is the same one she used on him the night he broke his hybrid curse. Knowing how much it hurts, he acknowledges that the ogre will not be able to make any attack. So all three vampires lower their defenses completely and go into full attack mode. Nathan is watching them with amazement. Suddenly Klaus goes behind the ogre. As Damon and Stefan hold it's arms, Klaus grabs it's head. Ogre yells with an incredible pain, but Klaus is relentless. Then he uses all of his strength to pull the head. As Nathan watches it in shock, Klaus rips the ogre's head, and the dead body falls to the ground loudly.

Nathan remembers that Meredith was in danger, so they all run to her. But when they arrive, they see that she was stuck under a tree, and dead. Vampires raise the tree until Nathan pulls her. Then Nathan bends near her and holds her.

Stefan: (unhappily) "She's dead?"

Nathan: (hopefully) "She's going to come back!"

Damon: (looks at the body for a while, then randomly looks at Klaus) "She has no pulse."

Klaus: "And she's going to become a phantom in the next 24 hours. We can't stay here."

Nathan: (still holding Meredith) "She came back once, she can do it again." (to Meredith's body) "Come on, Meredith! You're strong, you can do it. Please, come back to me!"

Stefan: (sadly) "Nathan, you have to let her go."

Before Nathan can reply him, Meredith indeed takes a deep breath and comes back to life again. Everyone is shocked to see this. Damon quickly bends down near Nathan.

Damon: "Meredith?"

Meredith is panting with fear.

Stefan: "And she's not a phantom!"

Elena: (confused) "How can this happen?"

Nathan: "I don't care! It happened, that's what I care!" (then hugs Meredith, and she hugs him back)

Damon: (stands up) "We came back because we're vampires. What's her excuse?"

Nathan: "Maybe the amount of vampire blood she consumed somehow gave her some of your abilities?"

Elena: "No, that doesn't make sense."

Bonnie: "It's because we are ghosts!" (upon this everybody looks at her weirdly) "As ghosts we are practically indestructible." (she looks at them) "You and Klaus died and came back. I died and came back. Meredith died twice and came back. It seems to be the only explanation."

Damon: "Yeah, that must be it!"

Stefan: "It does make sense."

Nathan: "Wait! What do you mean you are ghosts?"

Damon: "The portal we used to come here wasn't strong enough to send our bodies. So we came here as ghosts."

Nathan: "But I can touch you, I can feel you."

Meredith: "Bonnie gave us physical foothold. With magic."

Nathan: "Oh!"

Then they get up to go to the camping area. But when they arrive they see dead bodies everywhere. As far as eye can reach, there is no sign of life, and dead rebels are scattered around. There is no one alive. As they are wandering around, Nathan gets incredibly upset and says he can't believe this happened. He's known most of these people for years. Damon, who is clearly upset too, tells Nathan to stop talking. While walking around, Elena accidentally steps on a hand, but is startled to hear a sound of pain in return. Everyone rushes to her, and they move the dead bodies on the living, and eventually they see Hope. Her face was covered in blood, and she says her leg is broken. Damon quickly feed her his blood. But the broken bone will take a couple of hours until it heals completely. Hope looks around and cries. Then looks at Max's body. She says when that thing attacked, he jumped to save her. He sacrificed himself to save hers. Elena looks around, and with despair, she says it's only 8 of them now. From an army, they are down to 8. Then rhetorically asks how are they gonna go to Guardian's Gate now. Hope says with desperation it's over. But Nathan bends down near her, and says Max gave up on his life so that she can live her mother's dream. She can't just give up, and she owes it to them. Bonnie asks if this is what happened to an army, what can happen to only 8 people. Damon looks away, and says it's clear that humans are useless in this. They need real power, and there is only one person they know. Elena asks who. Damon says her witch ancestor. Klaus asks if he means Tatia. Damon simply nods. Bonnie says she wouldn't help, because that's why she left them in the first place. Damon says trying wouldn't hurt. Stefan says it actually might. Bonnie shook off the the cloaking spell she got from the rebel base to fight Misao, and without it they cannot pass near the building without being noticed. Damon says to hell with it, they already know they are here. Then turns to Klaus and says he (Damon) knows the way and he (Klaus) knows her, and asks if he's ready for a road trip. Hope asks shouldn't they come along. Damon says that's not a good idea. Klaus and he will go and come back with vampire speed. Nathan looks at them and tells them to do what's necessary, and they will hold their own until they came back. Damon tells them to go on without them if they do not return until this time tomorrow. Stefan looks at him, then nods slowly. Then Damon and Klaus look at each other, and both disappear with vampire speed.

The gang on Earth is desperately trying to remove the debris to reach to June. Tyler, Katherine and Caroline are lifting big stuff with their vampire strength, and Chris and Samara are helping them as best as they can. After long efforts, they finally reach to June, and as Samara uses magic to remove the remaining debris, Tyler and Chris rush to take her. But they are surprised to find her on Klaus' body. Apparently she used herself as a shield to protect his body. They take June and Katherine grabs Klaus. When they go to a safe distance, Samara releases the debris she's holding. They all gather around June. Caroline asks how is she. Tyler, while carrying her, says her breath is too weak. Katherine immediately bites her wrist and drops some blood to her mouth. Caroline watches this with surprise, as she wasn't expecting Katherine to be such compassionate. Tyler says he hopes they weren't too late. Then they look at each other, and ask what is next. Samara says there is only one place left they can go. Chris looks at her, apparently agreeing.

In no time they arrive to the witch house. They leave the bodies to the basement, and look at each other.

Samara: "So, it all comes down to this."

Chris: "I don't think letting people leave was a great idea. The kitsune now don't risk any exposure or very little, that's why they could dare to attack like that."

Tyler: "It's done. We can't call them back."

Samara: "So we have to deal with them with brute force. I so don't like this."

Caroline: "At least it'll take time until they find us here. That should be enough until we come up with a plan."

Katherine: "That's right. We saved the day, that's all that matters."

Caroline: "For now."

Chris: "I'm more worried about what happens when they eventually find that we are here. We don't have anywhere else to go."

Katherine: "We were caught off guard. But it won't happen again. When they come, we'll be prepared, and we'll show them what happens to those who mess with us."

They all look at each other, apparently thinking the same thing with Katherine.


The debris of the Lockwood house starts moving. After a little struggle, a kitsune manages to go out. Then another one appears like the first one. The first kitsune looks at the other, and tells him to call the rest. They're going to tear this town apart.
