MYSTIC FALLS HOSPITAL
(Alaric is in the MRI; Elena and Meredith are behind a glass wall)
Elena: What are you looking for?
Meredith: I don`t know. A tumor, Anything physical that might explain his behavoir. It´s medical, I can tread it.
Elena: Yeah, what if it´s not?
Meredith: Well, then we´ll deal with that, too.
Elena: When did you suspect it? That it was Alaric who was killing all those people?
Meredith: It was after he told me about his ring. I rememered the story my grandmother told me about Samantha Gilbert and her secret journal. I don`t know if you know this, but we Fells are notorious busy bunnys.
(Elena laughs)
Elena: But then why did you protect him?
Meredith: Because I`m a doctor. I don`t like to see someone hurt by something they have no control over. And because when he and I first met I felt like...I don`t know...I...I just kinda wanna help him.
(Elena smiles and nods)
(In the MRI Alaric looks up to the ceiling; he sees hisself in a mirror; but it`s creepy `cause his reflection grins, he starts to get restless)
Alaric: What`s happening? Ah.
(Meredith asks trough the intercom)
Meredith: Everything alright in there?
(Ric closes his eyes; when he opens it, he looks just as bad as his reflection before)
Alaric: Yeah. Yeah, everything´s okay.+
MYSTIC FALLS HOSPITAL
PATIENT ROOM
Elena: Meredith says that everything´s normal.
Alaric: Yeah, well, everything is normal. Because there is nothing wrong with me. I didn`t kill Brian Walters, I didn`t kill Bill Forbes and I´m sure as hell I didn`t a hunting knife into my stomach! Or I did and I´ve got insane. Just like youir ancestor who wore that ring.
Elena: Look I´m gonna call Bonnie. The rings are made by Benett witches so maybe she can reverse the dammage.
Alaric: Take it. I don`t want it anymore.
(Elena takes the ring; Damon arrives at the patient room)
Damon: You´re ready to ditch this house of Oooffff, you look terrible.
Alaric: Yeah! Yeah, let me...let me check out of here.
OUTSIDE OF MYSTIC FALLS HOSPITAL
Damon: Don´t worry about him. Take him out a chiken soup, get him a martini, make sure he doesn`t kill anybody.
Elena: What is wrong with you? How could you just go up feeding with Stefan like some vampire pup crawl?!
Damon: Right. We don`t even talking about Alaric but of course we`re talking about Stefan.
Elena: You stood there and let him feed on an innocent girl.
Damon: I didn`t let him do anything. If you wanna get nic picky about it, I made him.
Elena: Then why would you do that?
Damon: Because we´re vampires, Elena. We need human blood to survive, we´re predators not puppys.
Elena: Well, Stefan found away around it before.
Damon: Stefan has built himself a delusional wagon.
