Tyler doesn't listen to me because he's trained his werepire hearing on Klaus and Caroline. Klaus is telling Caroline that there was one moment he wanted to be human. "Once, I was on a trek in the Andes and a hummingbird flew up to me, and just hovered there, staring at me. Its tiny heart was just pattering like a machine gun. And I thought what a thing, you know -- to have to work that hard every day, just to stay alive. To be constantly on the verge of death -- and how satisfying every day must be that it survived.

Tyler: "A bunch of B.S. about being human. The sooner we get rid of this guy, the better."

Stefan chases Elena across the lawn. She doesn't have time to talk. She's got to find Jeremy. Stefan confesses it's his fault that Jeremy had that reaction. Jeremy was with him, today, killing vampires, so they could make his map grow, and find the cure. Stefan thinks that each time a hunter kills a vampire, it increases his urge to kill more.

Matt isn't one of them, so he can keep an eye on Jeremy and keep the hunter stuff in check. Being a hunter must leave one with some brain damage, because Jeremy asks where Elena will go. We cut, of course, to...

Mossy Manse. Damon opens the door for Elena. Stefan emerges from the parlor. Elena explains to him that she can no longer stay at home. Stefan says, "Pick a room." He waits a beat, then adds, "I'll crash somewhere else." We cut to...
