- Caroline Forbes: "You're gonna need some help."
- Stefan Salvatore: "No."

- Stefan Salvatore: "What's the point of being alive?"
- Damon Salvatore: "Exactly, brother."
- Stefan Salvatore: "Might not forgive me after this. I might lose him forever."
- Stefan Salvatore: "Tyler deserved more than to be collateral damage in whatever game Sybil's playing with Damon."
- Caroline Forbes: "I can't even remember out last conversation. We haven't talked in months. We both had been so busy. After everything we went through I guess I just always assumed that he would be there."
- Stefan Salvatore: "I'm at a lost with Damon. I don't know what to do with him anymore."
- Caroline Forbes: "Maybe the best thing to do... is just to mourn Tyler with your friends. We all owe him that."
- Alaric Saltzman: "What are you doing?"
- Sybil: "Savasana. It's restorative, it promotes physical and emotional well-being. So not Zen"
- Alaric Saltzman: "That's for Tyler."
- Sybil: "To be fair, that was more Damon than it was me. I simply suggested that he do whatever he could to sever any of his remaining ties."
- Alaric Saltzman: "Georgie. Where is she. I already have another cell ready, labeled Siren number two."
- Sybil: "Oh wait that's right I can't see anything, my psychic abilities have been neutralized."
- Alaric Saltzman: "I've set up an intercom system here, so this noise and pain will haunt you from now on 24/7. Welcome to your psychic Hell."
- Elena Gilbert: "What? No! I know you think you're protecting me, but..."
- Stefan Salvatore: "I have to. Coming home was...it was a mistake. I can't be a part of your life anymore."
- Stefan Salvatore: "Tyler deserved more than to be collateral damage in whatever game Sybil's playing with Damon."

- Seline: "Send Cade my regards."
- Seline: "Hey!"
