Rachel was sitting at the table, her plate in front of her, but she didn’t touch it. “You need to eat something” Gabe said soft. Rachel pushed her plate away. “You don’t get to tell me what to do anymore” she said trembling.
“Come on, Rachel, that’s not fair” Gabe said sad. “I’m just as devastated as you are” he said fighting his own tears, but Rachel only scoffed. “Oh, give me a break. You were the first to deny Kelsey was your daughter and you wanted to hand Amber over to the police”
“I thought I was doing the right thing” Gabe defended himself. “I couldn’t let Kelsey stay here. She could’ve put us all in danger. And with Amber…I thought if I could keep her locked up she wouldn’t be able to attack anyone”
But it seemed like Rachel hadn’t heard any of it. “Do you have any idea how painful it is to have your heart ripped out? I don’t, because it never happened to me, but I can imagine it must be awful”
Gabe placed his hands on the table. “Yeah, how did you know those things? How did you know it was a werewolf bite that killed Amber?”
Rachel looked up frightened and all was needed for Gabe to put the pieces together. “Oh my God” he said.
“Gabe, please” Rachel said scared.
“You’re one of them” Gabe took the conclusion.
“No, I’m not” Rachel heavily shook her head. “I’m not. I’m still…normal”
“The gene hasn’t manifested yet. Of course, why didn’t I see it? All those times you were cranky at full moons, saying it was that time again” Gabe said agitated, looking sharp in Rachel’s eyes.
“Please, don’t kill me” Rachel begged.
“I’m not going to kill you” Gabe said. He grabbed his wife’s arm and dragged her to the basement.
“Gabe, please, we can work this out” Rachel said nervous.
Gabe opened the door and pushed Rachel off the stairs. He closed the door and locked it.

Katherine was sitting on a chair. A row of small stakes pinched each arm to the arm-rests and a special kind of muzzle kept her mouth shut. The muzzle also had stakes, smaller than the arm stakes, and they pierced through Katherine’s jaws. “I’m sorry for the inconvenience” Veronica said demeaning. “Actually, I’m not. You had this coming. You broke in here, you threatened me” She took a chair and put it down in front of Katherine. “Such a pity Derek chose the wrong side. If he hadn’t Damon Salvatore would be sitting next to you”
Katherine managed to produce a smirk.
“Oh, don’t be so smug” Veronica sniffed. “I’ll get to him. He’s the one that killed Kelsey. He will die a slow and painful death” she said, more to herself than to Katherine. She stood up and walked to a corner, where she picked up her cross-bow. “In the meantime” she said, while she aimed the crossbow at Katherine. “I have you to have fun with” and she fired.

“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.
