Alaric wakes up. He is in a holding cell, Alaric is talkingto Sheriff Forbes and Damon. He is still in the holding cell. "I didn't do it."

"You're arresting him for what Melissa says? Where the hellis Spencer?"

"No, I'm detaining him. The cell is for his own good." Lizsaid, "You were shot; Dr. Hastings used vampire blood to heal you."

"Dr. Hastings is the one who shot me." Alaric said.

Because you came at her with a knife!" Liz said.

"Yeah, with a knife I had found hidden in her things!"

"Are we gonna ignore the part where he is one of thekiller's victims? I mean, the guy was practically stabbed to death." Damonsaid.

"Well, Melissa suggested his wounds could have beenself-inflicting."

"You think I stabbed myself?" Alaric asked.

"Look, I think I don't know what to think." Liz sighed, "I'vegot nothing, except murder weapons from your stash and a respected member of afounding family pointing a very long finger."

"She is setting me up." Alaric said, "I'm being framed here!"He turned to Damon, "Call Spencer."

Damon nodded as he was already dialling on his phone.

"Well, that may be so, but I don't have any proof of that."Liz told Alaric.

"Well then we'll find some." Damon said.

"No, just stay out of this, Damon." Liz said, "You gettinginvolved is only going to make matters worse."

"Listen, Liz..."

"Don't make me put you in that cell with him!" Liz narrowedher eyes at Damon.

"Did you get through Spencer?" Alaric asked.

Damon shook his head frustrated.
