"It wouldn't be the first time someone failed at trying to capture us," Damon says. "But, it feels more like they got what they needed which is why I still have a vote in the 'doppelganger' column now that we're entering the Witch Wars.
[The image comes up and Stefan blinks, before showing it to his brother.]
Isn't that the woman who bought the last round?
[The door the cafe jingles, and when Damon looks up, he'll happen to see that exact woman stalking towards them, hands already rising with a spell prepared.
[Before Damon can even respond, the witch hisses an incantation and he passes out at the table. Stefan stays awake a second longer just to panic (3), but soon follows his brother into unconsciousness leaving Buffy listening to open air on the other end of the line.
This time, Stefan will not be taking his phone. Sorry, Buff.]

[Elena thinks it's a valid question, honestly, but she gives Dean a shrug.
"We were definitely drugged. So maybe the intent was kidnapping, but they lost us in a Scottish cow pasture."]

[To Dean. But then she turns back to the phone.]
Well, call someone in Scotland to help? But this doppelganger is fine and she is going back to bed. Good luck.
[And with that she will hang up, and Stefan will nod, before holding out his phone to Damon. "My thoughts exactly. Can I call Buffy now?"]

At least we know there isn't an international doppelganger taskforce. Considering our hunter run-ins, I thought my check-in was a-propos.
( But fine, have your phone back, Stefan. )

Ring ring ring Buffy phone.]

It's Stefan! ( She answers, on literally half of the first ring. ) Hey! Where are you?
no subject
[And he'll give her the address for the cafe where he and Damon are sitting.]
My phone was dead and Damon lost his, but we're okay.
no subject
We have Damon's phone. I'm with Scarlett, Melanie, and Beck. Is that it, you went on a bender and ended up a half hour outside town?
( She'll be calmer, just confirm this wasn't brotherly negligence and alcohol. )
no subject
[Which is unfortunate and indicates they still have some detective work to do.]
And the fact that we were able to get that drunk? Means there was probably something else at play.
[Speaking of, perception check, Damon.]

Do you think they were after Lindsay or Rhett? ( She looks to the group. ) Do you remember Lorden Wallis?
( "Real sinister with Stevie Nicks levels of witchery," Beck says on the other end of the line, having found her on Facebook. )
no subject
Do you have a picture?
no subject
( She brings the phone down, takes a picture, sends it, brings the phone back up. )
It's sent. Beck's right. It's like Carly Simon meets Stevie Nicks.
