Lockwood Mansion
Katherine is standing in the middle of the living room, she’s wearing a white shirt. There are some people around. Katherine looks upset though. Then Mason shows up behind her. He’s the wearing a black shirt. He looks hot. Like always.
“Are you okay?” he asks her and she turns to him. He holds her hands and looks worried at her. She sighs and answers: “Yeah, I’m fine.” It doesn’t sound convincing though.
“You know, I should just…” Mason talks to himself angrily and turns around to find someone… but Katherine stops him.
“No, don’t. It’s okay. It’s okay!” she tries to calm him down. It looks like someone has hurt Katherine somehow and Mason doesn’t like it at all. He sighs and lets her hug him. He hugs her back and runs his fingers through her hair. Then she looks at him and says: “I love you.” He smiles and replies: “I love you too.” Then he kisses her. She kisses back then smiles too. It’s a really sweet moment. She snuggles him and….
Okay. Wait. Breathe pause.
WHAT THE HELL IS THIS!?
… and then Tyler wakes up. He sits up in his bed like he had a nightmare. Then he looks at the clock and gets up quickly. He slept with his clothes on from last night. It’s 10 am already and he has to go. But he can’t stop thinking about his dream… now why would he dream about his uncle and Katherine getting romantic? It didn’t seem like a natural dream…
Then Jeremy finds him. He spent the night there after Mason and Tyler went through all the plans with him.
“Morning!” Jeremy says. He seems to be in a much better mood than he was last night. “You’re uncle’s calling you.”
“Yeah… I’ll be right there…” Tyler doesn’t seem to be happy at all.
“I gotta go. See you later then?” Jeremy doesn’t wait for an answer and leaves. What none of them know is that their next meeting is going to be… quite different from what they planned.
In the next scene, we see Mason standing next to his car, texting on his cell phone. The trunk was open, but we don’t see what’s in it (yet).
Tyler appears.
“Hey, the sheriff just called. They’re having a meeting. She said they need you.” Tyler talks to Mason, but he doesn’t seem to be paying attention at him. Tyler crosses his arms and waits. Then Mason answers.
“Well, you can go and wish her good luck, whatever it is. I can’t go.”
“Why not?”
“I’m busy.” He’s still texting.
“With what?” Tyler asks.
Mason looks at him and says: “Why don’t you go to the meeting?”
“Me?”
“Yeah. Tell them I can’t help.”
Tyler ponders then says: “Okay.” Mason turns his attention to his car now and Tyler goes on.
“Look, I have to ask you something.”
“Make it quick.”
Tyler thinks… how could he ask ‘Are you in love with Katherine?’ without sounding like… an idiot?
Mason looks up. “What is it?” he asks impatiently.
“Nevermind… it’s not important. ” Tyler turns around to leave, but Mason makes him stop.
“Wait.” Mason says and hands him a stake. “Take this with you.” Tyler looks at him surprised, but takes the stake and goes inside. Then Mason goes back to close his car’s trunk. Now we see what’s inside: some explosives and a stake. (I know, you shouldnt put explosives into your car, but Mason is a brave man… You have no idea how much yet.). He closes the car’s trunk and goes inside the living room. He puts something in a drawer and starts picking up other things from the table (there’s a gun on it too), but before he could finish he hears something falling then a painful yell coming from the front door.
“Tyler?” he steps away from the table so he can see what’s happening in the corridor. And what he sees is terrifying: Katherine holding Tyler from behind him like she’s about to snap his neck. Mason stops in shock.
“Good morning, Mr Lockwood!” Katherine says in her most evil voice. Tyler can’t move a muscle. Mason’s too shocked and scared to move.
“What are you doing?” Mason asks her, scared.
“I hoped we can talk.” Katherine says in her evil tone.
“Let him go… please?” Mason slowly tries to approach them.
“Not until I find out what you’re up to.” she say and Mason stops.
“What are you talking about?” he shakes his head, asking her.
“I know you’re hiding something from me… and I’m gonna find out what it is, so… how about you give me your cell phone? Or watch our little wolfie die. Before I count down to one…” Katherine demands.
“Why don’t you come and get it?” Mason replies defiant.
“Three…” she starts counting down.
“Wait…”
“Two!” she raises her voice.
“Fine!” he yells at her then takes out up his cell phone from his pocket, shows it to her by holding it up and puts it on the table. Then he holds his breath and waits…
Katherine pushes Tyler away, who falls over on the ground, and rushes over to the table, next to Mason. She picks up the white cell phone, stares at it for a second then turns to Mason and rolls her eyes, saying: “The other one.”
Mason looks at her confused first…
“Now!” Katherine demands. Mason doesn’t have another choice. He sighs and pulls another phone out of his other pocket. It’s a small purple one. Katherine takes it then looks back at him.
“Don’t you ever try to fool me again!” it’s like the Devil talking. Fooling Katherine is not easy. Got it, Mason? Oh, he pouts (hottt). Katherine turns around, it looks like she’s leaving, then suddenly turns back, like something has caught her attention. She looks at Mason, who look back confused (and scared). There is too much tension between them. Tyler (who got up already) stares… yeah, Tyler, that was a dream. This is reality. Which doesn’t mean that their feelings in that dream are not real. But it’s not what it seems like at the moment. Then Katherine grabs something from the table and rushes out pushing Tyler purposely on her way out. He falls over again. Mason looks at the table and finds out what’s missing: the layout of that mysterious room (the one that Tyler got in his hands the night before). Mason doesn’t show any reaction about it. He totally ignores Tyler and gets a gun out of a drawer and grabs some other stuff from the table. Tyler doesn’t really like that.
“What the hell was that!?” he yells at his uncle. Poor kid almost got killed, I can totally understand him… However, Mason’s behavior isn’t very consoling.
“Nothing…”
“What do you mean ‘nothing’?? What… what does she want with your cell phone?”
“I guess she wants to find out what I’m hiding from her.”
“Then she’s gonna find out! About… everything! We’re screwed!”
“No, we’re no…”
“How can you say that!???” Uh, this is getting ugly…
Mason looses his patience now and shouts back: “Because what she’s looking for… *opens drawer and gets another cell phone out* is this!” It’s a small purple one, identical to the one he gave to Katherine…
Tyler is way too shocked now. “So you just… fooled her?”
“Yes, I did.” You can almost hear Mason say ‘got a problem?’ too. He stops for a second, they stare at each other. Mason is really pissed, he has a lot of important things to do and the day hasn’t stared well at all. Plus it’s full moon.
Tyler is shocked and… scared of him? Yes, he’s scared a little. I mean… he’s totally confused about that dream and he’s still traumatized by what just happened. And now this.. he can worry for his uncle too. Poor Tyler!
Mason puts the phone in his pocket, takes the gun and goes to the back door then he stops and looks back at Tyler.
“Aren’t you late for the meeting?” He acts like nothing happened at all then leaves. Tyler just… sighs and leaves too.
Yes, tricking Katherine is not easy at all. And Mason Lockwood knows that. But he’s been planning something since… a very long time ago. What is he up to? That’s the big question… and what is this whole cell phone thing about? I know you’re confused, but I promise, you’ll understand everything after season 3 premiere.
