In this scene, Katherine Pierce is sitting on a couch in the Salvatore Boarding House, visibly annoyed as she reluctantly writes in a diary. Through a humorous voiceover, she reads aloud what she is writing: she is alive only because Stefan Salvatore stopped her from killing herself, and now he has placed her under strict “suicide watch”.
Stefan paces back and forth nearby, keeping a close eye on her. When Katherine mocks the sentimentality of journaling and questions if it’s part of some doppelgänger magnetic pull, Stefan bluntly states he is just making sure she doesn’t slit her wrists. Katherine fires back by teasing his “neurotic granny vibe” and calling out his severe PTSD. She points out that he is hardly the picture of mental health himself, noting that she heard him having a panic attack and breaking chairs earlier that day after being trapped in a safe at the bottom of a quarry all summer. Katherine concludes that she cannot work with someone who can’t even help themselves, prompting her to call in backup.

00:00Dear Diary, so here I am, alive.
00:04Stefan saved me from killing myself.
00:06Now he's got me on suicide watch.
00:08He says it will be therapeutic for me to write down my feelings about the fact that I'm dying
00:12and there's nothing I can do about it.
00:15Deep thoughts, mortal coil, blah, blah, blah, my hand's tired.
00:21I'm just trying to make sure you don't slate your wrists.
00:23Well, this whole neurotic granny vibe doesn't exactly make me want to live.
00:27Do you really have nothing better to do than stand there all day and watch me write in cursive?
00:32I'm trying to make sure you don't kill yourself.
00:33And how are you going to do that?
00:34You know, since you're still having your little panic attacks.
00:37I'm fine.
00:38Yeah, of course.
00:39You are the picture of mental health Stefan after being locked for three months in a safe at the bottom
00:44of a quarry.
00:44I am dealing with it.
00:46I know.
00:47I mean, I heard you dealing with it earlier today in the library.
00:51It sounded like you freaked out and broke a chair, maybe even two.
00:54How are you supposed to help me stay alive if you can't even help yourself?
00:58So does this mean you want to live?
01:01No, it means that I can't work with people who can't give me 100%.
