The evening fell and Rebekah and Katherine were sneaking down the woods. Rebekah had called Katherine to tell her she had a plan and she needed her help.
“Where are we going?” Katherine wanted to know.
“To Klaus’s hiding place” Rebekah vaguely explained. She walked through the cemetery and stopped at a grave. The stone said: “Here lies Esther Mikaelson, beloved wife and mother”
“What are we doing at your mother’s grave?” Katherine asked confused and a little disrespectful.
Rebekah didn’t respond, but bowed forward and removed the stone. Katherine came closer and noticed the grave was empty. Instead there was a stone stairs leading to a dark hole. Rebekah climbed down and Katherine looked around, uncertain of what to do.
“I need you to come down” Rebekah shouted and her voice sounded hollow. Katherine followed Rebekah into the grave and realized what Rebekah meant by ‘Klaus’s hiding place’ Three coffins were placed next two each other, one of them certainly containing Elijah’s body. Rebekah walked to the middle one.
“It’s this one” she said confident.
“How do you know for sure?” Katherine asked.
“Easy enough” Rebekah replied. She pointed at the left one. “Finn’s older” She pointed at the right one. “Kol’s younger” She opened the middle coffin and proved her right. She took the dagger in her hands.
“Wait!” Katherine said loud. “If Klaus finds out you undaggered Elijah he’ll be furious”
“Are you telling me I should ask my brother permission to undagger my other brother? I think not” Rebekah objected and she pulled the dagger out of Elijah’s undead heart.
At first nothing happened, but then slowly but surely, the veins faded and the blue grey skin color was replaced by the familiar pale. His eyelids flashed open and Rebekah smiled.
“Wake up, sleepy head”

Interviewer: Was there a debate in the writer's room as to whether she would choose Stefan or Damon in this episode, or did you always agree that it would be Stefan?
Julie Plec: We were heading toward the end of the road knowing that as a human, Stefan was Elena's choice. We also knew what was going to happen at the end of the episode. Elena is no longer a human when she wakes up and when the memories come back and when her whole life goes upside-down. Who's to say what that does to her? Who's to say what kind of person she becomes, and how that impacts who she loves and why she loves them? I'm not saying that's going to send her running instantly into Damon's arms, absolutely not, but it's going to cloud the issue even more.
