LOCKWOOD MANSION

[Hayley is being poured a shot. Tyler walks into the room.]

Tyler: You're still going? I drank enough last night and then I slept, which is what you guys should have done.

Chris: We're just paying our respects to Dean.

Tyler: That's great, Chris, but could you pay them at a bar instead?

Hayley: Don't be mad. We're celebrating our fallen hybrid friend.

[Hayley walks over to Tyler and pours her shot in his mouth. She wipes her thumb across his bottom lip and sticks her thumb in her mouth. Klaus enters the room.]

Klaus: Well, don't let me interrupt.

Tyler: I didn't know you were here.

Klaus: Clearly.

[Klaus takes a drink from a bottle of alcohol he brought with him.]

Klaus: I just popped round to celebrate Dean's successful retrieval of the vampire hunter. Yet when I arrived, I learnt that not only was Dean unsuccessful, but that Elena killed the hunter.

Hayley: Well, maybe if you had let Dean use force on Connor instead of sending him in on a suicide mission.

Klaus: Maybe you should mind your business, wolf girl.

Tyler: What do you care if Connor's dead anyway?

Klaus: I have my reasons. They've ceased to matter. Cheers.

[Klaus raises the bottle of alcohol and takes a drink. There's a knock at the door. Tyler goes to answer it. Caroline enters with a box of stuff.]

Caroline: I brought your stuff. Old laptop, your jersey, the charm bracelet.

Tyler: Care, this isn't a good time.

Caroline: Just take it.

[She shoves the box into Tyler's hands. Klaus places his bottle down and walks over to Caroline.]

Klaus: Caroline.

[Caroline looks at him and folds her arms across her chest.]

Klaus: By the break-up drama unfolding before me I assume you've met Hayley. [Caroline says nothing.] All right, come on, let's go. Let's leave them alone. Your talents are needed elsewhere.

Tyler: For what?

Klaus: I think you've got more important things to deal with, mate.

[Klaus and his hybrids leave. Caroline closes the door and smiles.]

Caroline: Do you think he bought it?

Hayley: Hell, I bought it.

Caroline: [laughs] Thanks for the heads up that he was here, Hayley.

Tyler: You girls are good liars.

[Tyler kisses Caroline. Hayley watches them, awkwardly.]


GILBERT RESIDENCE

[Elena is in the shower. As she cleans herself off, she looks down and sees blood. She gasps and backs up. When she looks up at the shower head there's nothing there. She looks back down and sees blood again; freaked out by this, Elena jumps out of the shower.]

[Damon is downstairs, cleaning up blood. Stefan enters the room.]

Damon: Where did Jeremy go?

Stefan: School. Bonnie has him volunteering for some occult exhibit.
