Elena, Jeremy and Ric were sitting at the kitchen table having dinner. Well, Jeremy was eating. Elena was stirring in her food and Alaric was looking at her.
“If you wanted mashed potatoes you could’ve asked” he said. Elena looked up distracted. “What? No, it’s good. It’s really nice” she said.
“How would you know?” Alaric asked. “You didn’t eat yet”
“It looks really nice” Elena said shrugging.
“If you’re not hungry, that’s fine” Alaric said. “You don’t have to eat. But if there’s something else, I want you to tell me”
Elena looked down at her plate, not sure how she’d express herself. “Is there any possibility that he didn’t mean to?”
Ric sighed. Of course.
“Derek said he stopped drinking blood” Elena said careful.
“You can always try to call him” Alaric suggested.
“I don’t know. He might think everything’s okay again and it’s not” Elena said a little reluctant.
“I can call him” Alaric said. Elena frowned, but then nodded. “Yeah, alright”
Alaric conjured his phone and dialed Damon’s number.
“What?” Damon mumbled.
“Damon, how you doing?” Ric asked.
“Peeeerrrrfect” Damon said unclear.
“Have you been drinking?” Ric frowned.
“Nope” Damon said. “Well, I had one drink, but I didn’t really want to. Katherine forced me to drink”
“I could come over tonight” Alaric said. “Hang on…Elena, are you okay?”
Elena grabbed the table. She had gotten up and lost her balance.
“What’s going on?” Damon asked worried. “Something with Elena?”
“Eh, yeah, she got a little dizzy” Alaric said.
“She should go to bed” Damon said. “And she has to eat properly”
“I’ll tell her” Alaric said.
Elena rocked back and forth.
“Elena, sit down” Alaric said. Elena wanted to take his advice, but missed the chair and dropped on the ground. “Elena!”
“Ric! What’s happening?” Damon said sharp.
Alaric ran to Elena and bent on his knees. “Elena? Wake up, sweetie”
“Elena, wake up!” Jeremy said.
“Ric?” Damon asked scared.
“Damon, I have to go”
“What’s wrong with Elena?” Damon insisted.
“She…she fainted” Alaric said. “I’m bringing her to the hospital”
“I’ll meet you there” Damon said.
Alaric remembered what Elena had said a few minutes ago and though he couldn’t make sure he didn’t want to take any chance.
“No, stay there” he said sharp. “There’s nothing you can do. If anything you could upset her and make things worse.”
But Damon had already hung up.
Alaric lifted Elena in his arms and Jeremy opened the door and helped him lay Elena in the backseat. Ric placed himself behind the wheel and Jeremy next to him and he pushed the accelerator.

The jury had made a decision and woman walked to the judge and gave him a piece of paper.
“To the question if Castiel abused Alexia Moore the jury finds him not guilty” the judge said.
“Yes!” Dean triumphed. He jumped up and walked quickly towards Cas.
Zoey took Alexia by the hand and walked down the aisle.
“Zoey, wait!” Daphne shouted desperate.
Zoey turned around.”Do you have any idea what you put me through? What you put Alex through? After everything I’ve done for you. Gerard killed himself, because of you! How many lives do you have to destroy, before you realize you’re the one who needs to be put away in a cell?”
Daphne grabbed Zoey’s arm. “Please, listen to me. I never meant to hurt you or Alex. I thought I was helping. Tell me how I can make it up”
Zoey jerked her arm. “Stay away from me and Alex. And if you even care a little about Cas, you stay away from him, too”
She turned around and walked away.

“It was me” Meg said. Sam had freed her from her prison and now she was going to free Cas of his. She had to promise Sam she wouldn’t try to get out until they were far gone. Because as soon as soon Cas was out they were going to hit the road an drive as far away as possible.
“I killed Jack and I killed Paul Morgan. Cas has nothing to do with it. I was trying to protect him. Jack was asking too many questions and Paul knew too much already. There were people trying to hurt Cas and I tried to give him a low profile. But it didn’t really work out. I don’t want a lawyer. I don’t want a trial. Just give me the maximum penalty and I’ll accept it”
Isabel stared at her, a little puzzled, but also thrilled. She got Jack and Paul’s killer. Now no one would question her competence as an inspector again. She cuffed Meg’s hands and brought her to a cell.

Dean was outside, leaning against the cabin, when Jo came standing next to him.
“You look happy” she said sarcastic.
“It sounds weird, but right now I wish Dick Roman was still alive” Dean said. “I have too much time to think”
“You want me to call mom? I think she knows a few ways to fix that” Jo commented.
“Where is she?” Dean asked.
“To the city, doing groceries” Jo answered. She looked up. “Did you hear from Cas? I mean, that’s why you’re so neurotic, right?”
Dean shook his head. “I don’t want to talk about it. He’s had his chance, he blew it. I’m done with him”
“Have you tried talking to him?” Jo asked.
Dean leaned forward and kissed her. “No talking about Cas” he said.
“Okay” Jo agreed. She threw her arms around Dean’s neck and kissed him back. Dean lifted her in his arms and carried her inside the cabin.
