The basement door opened and Rachel looked up. Gabe was coming downstairs with a plate of food in his hands. “I made you some dinner” he said as if he expected Rachel to be grateful. He put the plate on a box and gave her a plastic fork and knife. “I’m only playing it safe” he said when Rachel gave him a dirty look.
“You can’t do this” Rachel said.
“You’re really such a hypocrite” Gabe said. “You let me send away my daughters, when you are just like them. Does this mean Amber had the werewolf gene? Well, in that case she’s better off dead”
Rachel gasped. “I can’t believe you actually said that”
“You wanted her to suffer every full moon? You wanted her to hunt in a pack?” Gabe said sarcastic. “Finish your dinner”
He walked back to the stairs and climbed up, but halfway he felt a firm grip on his ankle. Next moment he landed with his face on the stairs. As he groaned and tried to get up again Rachel ran past him. Gabe scribbled up and stumbled upstairs. He grabbed Rachel and they both fell down the stairs again.
“Ahh, okay, time out” Gabe said. Rachel didn’t answer. Gabe looked down at his wife’s lifeless body. “Rachel, don’t be stupid”
But Rachel still didn’t answer.
“Damn it” Gabe mumbled. He looked around agitated. He had to find something to cover her in. While he searched for it he heard something break. He lifted up his head. Rachel grabbed his hair, pulled his head backwards and cut his throat with a piece of the plate she had broken. As blood spilled over his throat and clothes Gabe dropped on the basement floor, his eyes fixated on Rachel.
“You can’t do this” Rachel said.

Meg was sitting in front of the mirror in the bathroom of Dorothy’s apartment. She was putting up makeup when the door opened and a woman came in.
“Hi” she said as she walked towards her. “My name’s Heather” she introduced herself and she pulled a chair and sat down. “I hear it’s your first night. How are you feeling? Are you nervous?”
“No” Meg said. “Maybe, I don’t know”
“You’ve had sex before, right?” Heather checked.
“Yeah, of course” Meg responded.
“Okay” Heather said relieved. “This is not a way to lose your virginity”
“Are you trying to give me some kind of pep talk?” Meg asked.
“Yes” Heather admitted. “And to give you this” She put something in Meg’s hands. Meg opened her hand and looked at the white pill. “To get you through your first night”
“I take it it’s not an aspirin” Meg commented sarcastically. She put the pill in her mouth and swallowed.

“Where’s Barbie?” Katherine asked when Stefan was standing on the front porch of the Boarding House. She had gotten used to the sight of him with Rebekah.
“She’s out, doing something” Stefan explained vague. “Can I come in?”
Katherine shrugged and let him pass. Stefan turned around. “I’m looking for Elena. Is she here?”
“No, she’s at school. You should know that” Katherine said uninterested.
“Not anymore she isn’t” Stefan said. “School’s over”
“Then she’s probably at the Grill” Katherine said, a little annoyed. “What do you need her for anyway?”
“I want to apologize for what happened last time she came over” Stefan said. “And I want to make sure she’s okay. I mean, I know Rebekah’s blood already left her system by now, but still, it must have freaked her out”
He looked at Katherine who stared at some point behind Stefan. Stefan quickly turned around and saw Damon standing in the doorway.
