You wake up in a cell with TVD group staring at you

Damon : "So what do we do?"

Stefan :"they don't look like they would take it well, so we take them out and tell them. And hope for the best. We can't keep them in here forever."

Caroline : "can I compel them? If they start freaking out. Or we could wait a few days, I can help."

Elena : "No, Caroline, you can't compel them or wait a few days."

Bonnie : "Elena's right, it'd be inhumane to keep them in this cell or compel them"
