Skylar was sat behind an awake Bonnie's hospital bed, but as they talked, her phone rang. She pulled it out of her pocket to check it. However, when she saw that it was Enzo, she muted the ringer and put it back into her pocket.

"Was that Enzo?" Bonnie asked. Skylar turned to her and sighed, nodding softly.

"Yep. The dick thinks he still has the right to bombard me with calls 24/7."

"Dick? I didn't think you were capable of such foul languages." Bonnie teased, sat up in her hospital bed.

"I was born in the 19th Century, Bon. Not the 10th." Skylar reminded with a quiet laugh, just as Damon walked into the room, pouring the contents of a flask into a cup of coffee.

"Oh, good! You're up." Damon smiled at the girls. "How's Bonica-magica?"

Bonnie turned so she was sitting with her legs dangling over the edge of the bed and made a face at him.

"Not great, but... good enough to make sure you never call me that again."

"Oooh..." Damon chuckled. Skylar eyed her uncle with suspicion.

"Someone's cheery."

"Well, I'm a man with a plan!" Damon exclaimed, sending Skylar a joyful grin.

"Which is...?"

"A secret."

"Does it have to do with killing Rayna the Huntress?" Bonnie cut in. Damon glanced at her and smirked.

"I'll never tell! ...But, yes."

"Good." Bonnie nodded. "How can we help?"

"You can't. Neither of you. This is the Damon-only show. It's Damon versus Cray-na." Damon sighed. Skylar scoffed at the ridiculous idea.

"Because that one gets you right back in Hell. You don't even know how to kill her." Skylar's phone then rang for the millionth time, which gave her an idea. "But, you know who might?"

"Don't even think about it." Damon frowned.

"No, she might actually have a point." Bonnie shot back, already guessing what Skylar's plan was.

"Enzo's been calling me non-stop — probably to apologize for yesterday. I bet if I go back to the Armory, I can find out more info." Skylar stated. Damon snatched the phone out of her hands, hung up on Enzo, and set it back down on the table, causing his niece to scoff and give him a dirty look. "What the hell?"

"Look around, Skylar. I'm not here for the filmy hospital pudding. Bonnie almost died in that place, and I'll never let that happen to you, too." Damon gave Skylar a serious look. "Promise me you will stay out of this, Sky. Both of you! No one needs to get hurt for me anymore. I can handle Rayna."

Both Skylar and Bonnie seemed surprised and confused by that reaction as they watched Damon turn and walk away.

Skylar was sitting on top of one of the tables in the room where many of the artifacts were displayed, letting her legs dangle over the edge, when the door suddenly beeped as it unlocked and opened. Enzo came in and looked at Skylar in surprise.

"You actually came. I'm shocked."

Skylar rolled her eyes at him before glancing at his arm. She let out a chuckle.

"I have to say, I was surprised when Bonnie rejoined us with your hand in her possession. So, did it grow back, or...?"

"No, actually." Enzo held up his hand and wiggled his fingers for emphasis. "I had to reattach it. But thank you for your concern."
