SALVATORE SCHOOL - WEREWOLF BUNKER - DAY
[Landon’s eyes slowly flutter open. He sits up, taking in his surroundings. He’s in a dungeon of sorts. Chains. Bindings.
He goes to the door. It’s locked tight. He spins around. The room is small. Too small. His breaths start to become ragged.]
FLASHBACK
[A young boy shoved into a closet as grown-ups scream at each other on the other side. The same haunted blue eyes.]
Klaus and Damon look at him empathetically. Hope looks at him sadly.
SALVATORE SCHOOL - WEREWOLF BUNKER - DAY
[The room spins around him.]
Hope: (O.S.) Landon. [He turns. Hope is outside the door, peering through the bars.]
Landon: Hope. Get me out of here.
Hope: I can’t. Not yet. But you’re not a prisoner, I swear.
"That's why he is in prison cell?" Said Damon.
"It's not prison cell." Said Hope.
Landon: oh really? I’m in a witch dungeon.
Hope: It’s a werewolf transition space.
Landon: Super. (sitting to calm himself) My birth mother’s boyfriend used to lock me in a closet when I was a kid, so, you know, tight spaces....
Hope: We won’t keep you here long. No one expected you couldn’t be compelled.
Landon: I don’t know what that means.
Hope: MG tried to erase your memories of this place, but it didn’t work.
Landon: So now I’m what -- a hostage? (growing agitated) Where’s Rafi?
Hope: He’s fine. You’re fine too. Compulsion doesn’t work on people who take this herb called Vervain. The town Sheriff sometimes sneaks it into the coffee at the gas station where we stopped this morning. He’s the town conspiracy theorist. Convinced that monsters are always lurking in the shadows.
Landon: Aren’t they?
Hope: Yeah, but we live in secret, so he could have a little more chill.
"Yeah. He is extra." Agreed Audrey.
Hope: Anyway, that’s probably what happened. It takes about a day to pass through your system. You just have to wait it out.
Landon: Sure. No big deal. I’ll just sit here alone in the witch dungeon with my thoughts. (then) Would you -- I mean -- could you wait it out with me?
[She stares at him. Tempted.]
Hope: I’m really sorry about all this.
But it was good to see you again.
[She leaves.]
SOCCER FIELD - DAY
[A game that appears to be a blend of soccer, football, and Quidditch (minus the broomsticks) is on the field. In the bleachers, MG keeps a careful eye on Lizzie and Josie as they arrive with Rafael.]
Lizzie: Alyssa Chang made a broom fly in Physics last year, but Rick Rogers fell thirty feet during practice, so real-life Quidditch remains an elusive pipe dream.
"Unfortunetly." Frowned Audrey.
[Josie heads for MG, leaving Lizzie with Rafael.]
Josie: Hey.
MG: Yo. Giving up dibs on the new guy so quickly?
Josie: It’s not a competition. Plus, I’m still nursing a wounded soul...
MG: Penelope Park?
Josie: We don’t mention her name anymore, remember?
Audrey rolls her eyes at Josie.
MG: Sorry. (eyeing Rafael) Do you think he’ll go for her?
Josie: Probably. They usually do.
MG: Okay. [He seems disappointed. She gives him a supportive smile.]
"Someone's gotta a crush." Said Caroline. Stefan narrows his eyes at MG.
Josie: One day she’ll see you that way. You just have to wait it out.
MG: I’m ADHD. Waiting is not compatible with my DNA.
Josie: (noticing Lizzie) Uh-oh. Their conversation’s waning. I gotta get back there. She panics when the silence gets awkward. [Back with Lizzie and Rafael in a moment of awkward quiet.]
Lizzie: I heard what happened to your girlfriend. I’m really sorry. (off his look, explaining) I have spies everywhere. I’m nosy in that, like, charming way.
Rafael: Thanks. I guess.
Lizzie: On the plus side, we’re all happy to know you’re single. [He looks up at her sharply. She pales.]
Caroline face palms.
"She is just like human you, blindie." Said Damon.
"Shut up!" Said Caroline.
Lizzie: Oh god. That was my inside voice. I’m so sorry. Guys like you make me nervous.
"Okay. This still can be fixed..." Said Caroline.
Rafael: Guys like me?
Lizzie: You know. Hot. Angry... Damaged.
Cariline winces. Audrey, Damon and Kol laugh.
Rafael: Yeah, well, I’ve sort of made a point in my life of keeping clear of girls like you, so...I guess I’ll go see if I can find Landon.
"He didn't have to be so rude." Said Caroline.
"He had every right to be so rude after the way Lizzie talked to him." Said Audrey.
[She nods, unable to speak. He quickly heads off. She looks up, seeing Josie nearby, having witnessed her flameout.
Josie lifts her shoulders, a shrug of compassion and shared disappointment. Lizzie smiles at her sister through the tears that brim in her eyes.]
"Aw, baby." Said Caroline sadly.
SALVATORE SCHOOL-AUDREY'S DORM-DAY
[Audrey has videochat with Kol.]
Audrey: Hi, Uncle Kol.
Kol: Hello, Mischief. How are you?
Audrey: Good. You?
Kol: I'm okay, too.
Audrey: How is aunt Davina?
Kol: She is good, too. Is there reason you called?
Audrey: Actually, yes. We have new recruit Rafael Waithe. He is a werewolf.
Kol: What about him?
Audrey: He came here with his adoptive brother Landon Kirby. Landon knows Hope, he used to serve milkshakes to her like two years ago. Like it's in protocol Alaric called vampire to compel Landon, but it didn't work.
Kol: Vervain?
Audrey: Probably, but i still want to be sure. Hope doesn't admit it, but she kinda has a thing for him. I don't want to risk it. Can you just get me information on him?
"You did background check on Landon?" Said Hope.
"Carefulness doesn't hurt." Said Audrey.
"Smart" Approved Klaus.
Kol: I'll see what i can find.
Audrey: Thanks.
SALVATORE SCHOOL - GYM - DAY
[Alaric and Hope spar in the school’s workout center, an open room with padded walls and matted floors. She’s distracted. Agitated.]
Hope: You didn’t have to lock him in the cellar.
Alaric: Where else was I gonna put him? (then) Block with your hand --
Hope: I got it.
Alaric: If you had it, I wouldn’t have said it [He gets the upper hand, pinning her arm back.]
"Why is he friendly with devil's spawn?" Said Damon.
"Shut up, Damon!" Hissed Stefan when he saw Mikaelsons glares.
Hope: Ow (annoyed, whispering) Dimiterre. [The world spin and suddenly Alaric is on his back.]
Alaric: Hey, cheater.
Hope: You really should let a vampire do my training. You’re getting too old for me to break your human bones.
Alaric: How dare you. [They get back into it.]
Klaus looks jaelous.
Alaric: Did you and Landon used to have a thing or something?
Hope: I don’t have ‘things.’
Hayley looks at her daughter sadly. That's not what she wanted for her.
Alaric: There was obviously something.
Hope: I liked him. He was... normal.
Alaric: Then let’s keep him that way. We survive here because we follow the rules. We can’t be sloppy about it.
Hope: You’re the one always telling me I need to get out more.
Alaric: I tell you that you need to stop locking yourself in your dorm room binge-watching Cutthroat Kitchen. I don’t tell you to fraternize with the human locals.
Hope: You know you can just be my headmaster. All this extra stuff isn’t in the job description.
"Tell him, Hope!" Said Audrey.
Alaric: Attempt to make an actual friend here and we can re-evaluate our relationship.
Josie: Dad? [He turns to find Josie in the doorway.]
Josie: Clean-up in Aisle L
"What does that mean?" Asked Caroline.
