Police cars were parked in front of the hospital in such way they wouldn’t block the ambulances driving in.
“I’m going in” sheriff Forbes said. She had been informed about who the target was and knowing Damon’s a vampire she decided it best to have a chat with him herself.
“What the hell?” Elena said from inside the car. “What are all these people doing here?”
“They don’t know about Damon” Stefan said. “They must think he’s just some lunatic who’s lost it”
Elena saw how Liz put something in her inside pocket. “She has a stake” she said scared. “She’ll try to kill him” She opened the door, got out of the car and ran in the direction of the hospital.
But a couple of yards away from it she was being stopped by one of the sheriff’s deputies. “You can’t go in there”
Elena looked inside and back at the deputy. “You can’t let her do that” she said, at the brink of tears. “You can’t let her kill him…Please, I know him. I can talk to him”
“I can’t let you walk in there. It’s too dangerous” the deputy said.
“He’s not going to hurt me” Elena said. “And even if he would, I know how to defend myself”
“I’m going to get fired over this” the deputy said and he let her pass. Stefan wanted to follow, but this time the deputy wasn’t willing to give in. “Not you, only she”
Elena ran through the hospital. A boy lie on a hospital bed with a bandage around his neck. She ran further until she reached the ICU. She opened the door.
“Damon?” she said careful to Damon’s back. He didn’t answer and so Elena walked to him. She saw Liz lying in a corner. Apparently Damon had knocked her down.
“Damon, let go of her” Elena said trembling. Damon ignored her. “She should’ve been dead by now” he mumbled. “Why won’t she die?”
“You don’t want to do this” Elena carried on. “You will never forgive yourself”
“She’s getting help from her dead witch family” Damon said tensed. “It’s the only logical explanation”
“Damon, listen to me!” Elena raised her voice. “I don’t want you to kill her. I understand your pain, but don’t make things any worse. I couldn’t live with that and neither could you”
“She has to die. She’s not immortal” Damon said agitated. He looked at Bonnies face. “Just fucking die already! Bitch!” he slapped her. He pulled out all the threads connected to the machines, but her heart still beat. He turned at Elena and looked at her like he only saw her now. “I can’t kill her”
He sank down on the ground and tears rolled over his eyes. Elena sank down next to him and lay his head on her shoulders.
“It’s okay” she said, caressing his hair. “Everything’s going to be okay”

“Gerard committed suicide last night” Zoey said. “I found him hanging in our bedroom”
Daphne covered her mouth. “Oh my God, that’s…awful” she said
Daphne threw her arms around Zoey and Zoey faked a few tears and sobs. She pushed Daphne away and said she had to tell Alexia. She put her purse on the dresser, knowing Daphne would see the letter and be too curious to leave it where it is.
And indeed, a minute later, Daphne stormed outside, hysterically crying how everything was her fault.
Zoey walked back inside, trusting Daphne would need some time to calm down. She opened Daphne’s computer and connected a portable hard drive to it. The hard drive contained a fake video of Cas doing things with Alexia.
Zoey copied the video to Daphne’s files and then removed the hard drive. She closed the computer and called Alexia.
“Let’s go, Lex” she said. “We’re going to your grandparents”

The next morning.
Zoey was talking with the mortician, while Alexia was watching cartoons. At least Zoey was under the impression Alexia was watching cartoons. Until her little girl let out a shriek.
“Mommy!”
Zoey, scared something had happened to Alexia, jumped up and ran into the sitting room. Alexia was staring at the screen.
“Lex, what’s going on? You almost gave mommy a heart attack” Zoey said and swallowed a few times to calm down.
“Mommy, come look” Alexia said breathless. “Uncle Emmanuel is on TV”
Zoey rushed to the television and increased the volume.
“Last night the police arrested a man named Castiel for the abuse of a four year old girl” the newsreader said.
“Alexia, go play outside” Zoey said trembling.
“Why do they call him Castiel, mommy? His name’s Emmanuel” Alexia said confused.
“Now!” Zoey yelled and Alexia ran outside.

The door of Meg’s motel room opened and Meg stared at the door way. She was still stuck under the Key of Solomon.
“Anna told me you were innocent for a change” Sam said.
“Well, now that you’ve discovered I’m actually a saint, could you get me out of here?” Meg suggested. Sam shook his head and walked towards her, though kept a safe distance. “First I want to set a few things straight. Castiel is not going to leave prison, unless you do something. Personally, I don’t care if you killed that man or not. What I do care about is that you’re the only one who can get him out of there” Sam said.
“Why would I help him? What’s in it for me?” Meg wanted to know.
“If you do the right thing, then I guarantee you Dean and I will never try to kill you again. You’ll be off our radar for good” Sam said.
That was a tempting offer. “What do you want me to do?” she asked.
