Bonnie (Kat Graham) walks amongst the Bennett graves and sees the locked coffin. Klaus (Joesph Morgan) creeps up and tells her he knows how to open it, can she? She then finds herself shut inside a coffin. She's having more dreams which are sending her a message. What's that then, to find her mother? Bonnie can't resist showing Elena (Nina Dobrev) the coffins, doing what Stefan (Paul Wesley) didn't want her to. She needs Elena's help to find her mother, Abby, (Persia White) so that she can help with the coffin. Elena thinks Bonnie should let Stefan obsess over opening the coffin for himself. Damon (Ian Somerhalder) finds out where Abby is using compulsion, in which case he should have also compelled the compul-see to forget what he asked for. Well it makes sense for later. Especially since Klaus has his hybrid spies everywhere.
Damon thinks they're going on a road trip and calls 'shotgun.' But he's not coming. Elena doesn't need "your snarky commentary" spoiling the experience. Hey snarky commentary is what Damon does. Damon lets slip they kissed. Tyler (Michael Trevino) apologizes to Caroline (Candice Accola) the bite was beyond his control. That's why he had the sheriff call her father Bill (Jack Coleman) for help in resisting the sire bond. Bill understands Tyler wants to make good on his mistakes.
Alaric (Matt Davis) has lunch with Meredith (Torrey DeVitto) and Damon refers to her as "damage." Damon's exes are all dead, at whose hands, ha. Alaric tells him about her ex, the ME and Damon replies he was murdered vampire style. Damon calls that red flag number 2, as she'd be his suspect if he was a cop. Klaus demands to know what he can do for Stefan to get his family back. Stefan isn't negotiating, he suggests Klaus should leave town and call in a few years. Klaus wants to deal.
Elena refuses to speak to Bonnie about Damon since it won't happen again, says she. Bonnie thinks it's because the kiss was good. Stefan finds Abby's details. Did Elena really think it was fine to leave them lying around at home if she didn't want him tagging along? Notice how Damon didn't tell him where they were going either. Klaus sends his hybrid lackey, Daniel (Daniel Newman) to Abby's house first and he compels her - obviously. Klaus got the info from a talkative deputy, see Damon should have compelled the deputy to forget. Elena and Bonnie meet Jamie, (Robert Ri'chard) Abby dated his father.
Bill tells Tyler the sire bond invokes gratitude as he owes Klaus his life, why? Tyler replies cos he was cursed and in order to break the bond, he needs to make himself turn. Then he'll owe Klaus nothing and be free. Abby knew Miranda, Elena's mother and left cos of her. A vampire arrived looking for the doppelganger, Mikael, and she lured him out of town. She was the one who dessicated him and put him in the crypt where Katherine found him. This took her power and almost killed her, so she doesn't have any powers now. That line about desiccating him made me chuckle. What was he a piece of coconut?
Damon introduces himself to Meredith and talks about her ex. She signed his death certificate. Meredith asks why Alaric walked away without a scratch. She injects him and draws his blood - why'd Damon turn his back on her if he doesn't trust her? He could have also compelled her to tell the truth about who she really is.Guess that'd be too soon for the story to develop. Bill attacks Tyler with a shovel. He must turn or he'll kill him. Abby tells Bonnie about having the chance to be someone else; a woman and not a witch. She doesn't know about Gram's death.
Stefan didn't want Elena to know about the coffins cos she interferes, as I said. Since when does anyone not find out everything? There are no secrets in this show, not usually anyway. Elena: "out villain the villain." Jamie is compelled and shoots Stefan. Damon feels Alaric needs to buff up if he's with Meredith as she vervained him. Alaric is angry at him for going to see her. Tyler breaks his chains. Abby tells Klaus's lackey, Daniel, Bonnie didn't talk, she used herbs on Bonnie. Jamie has been compelled to kill himself. Abby types a message on her phone for Bonnie to "warn your friends." Jamie tells Elena he's not meant to hurt her and she hits him when he loosens her ties. Stefan was shot with wooden buckshot and she has to remove the pieces.
Damon meets Klaus in the haunted mansion and Klaus is attacked by the witches just as Damon was. Klaus threatens to kill the witch's descendants and end the Bennett line causing them to reveal the coffins. Well that was weak of them. How can they reaffirm that a hybrid is more powerful than witches? The fourth coffin is missing. Damon had enough time to remove it, but just the one.
Alaric tells Meredith vervain doesn't affect Damon cos he drinks it. Bill is rushed to the hospital and Meredith shows Alaric why she took Damon's blood, since a vampire's blood can be used to save lives. Stefan notices Elena is stronger and she knows they have all changed. She admits to kissing Damon. Was she deliberately trying to make waves more than easing her conscience? She knows their relationship is volatile at the best of times and how would causing a rift between the Salvatore's prove helpful at a time like this? She feels guilty that Stefan doesn't know but not about the kiss. Stefan apologizes for kidnapping her. He went too far. He won't lie to her today and she shouldn't go off on her own when Klaus is still alive. Elena doesn't want Stefan in the way. Stefan feels Elena is better than the both of them.
Abby sees Jamie as her family and wants to help Bonnie, who doesn't trust her. She thinks Bonnie can help her get magic back. Tyler lost control. Bill posits turning has to be painless to break the sire bond. He will stay away from Caroline until he breaks the bond. Alaric tells Meredith his secret. It seems like he has another death wish doing that and also blabs about his ring. She tries to remove his ring and Elena interrupts.
Damon asks Stefan how Elena is and he punches him. He doesn't want to talk. Hey, that's a line from Supernatural, when older brother Dean (Jensen Ackles) doesn't want to talk deep and meaningfuls and younger brother Sam (Jared Padalecki) wants him to. Here it was the other way round. Damon shows him a dagger which he pulled from one of the Originals. Klaus doesn't want to open the coffins yet and Elijah (Daniel Gillies) rips out Daniel's heart. He's been 'revived' by Damon. That came as a shock to Klaus, but what will Elijah do anyway, it's not like he didn't help Klaus escape the sacrifice they had in store of him? Then he may be peeved Klaus doesn't have that one elusive coffin.
This episode seemed slow, setting up some future plots. Can't believe Meredith is just using vampire blood for her patients.That's too simplistic a plot. There's just more to her and Alaric is so trusting - after everything he's been through and the number of times he's died, you'd think he'd be more secretive of the ring. He's met her for two minutes and he feels the need for such blatant honesty with her. He needs to move on from Jenna, eventually. It doesn't have to be this soon. Yet Elena tells him it's fine for him to do that, ignoring Damon, who has his doubts about Meredith. Let's face it Damon is a better judge of character than Alaric. His cynicism leaves him in good stride to warn Alaric about her. He's looking out for him again - he has to protect his only friend. Alaric is more annoyed Damon went behind his back and 'checked' up on her. Or should that be, questioned the "good" doctor? Well perhaps Damon should have compelled her as said before.
Stefan apologizing for what he did to Elena last episode - was it his real humanity coming through or was it just to appease her for confessing about the kiss? He's playing his cards close to his chest as to what he feels for her, cos he can't seem to let go of her. He seems to be showing his true jealous side when he decks Damon. If he didn't care for her still why would he do that to him, other than Damon rubbing it in? Well Damon told Bonnie so Stefan was bound to find out eventually. Nothing remains a secret in this town for long.
Bonnie was hurt her mother forgot her own child and chose to raise someone else's. As we learn Abby was the one who put Mikael in the coffin. She could have taken Bonnie with her - why leave her behind - did she suspect trouble? Then again she must have since she used her powers on Mikael, lost her powers, then there'd be no way to protect Bonnie. Not that Mystic Falls is a safe place to live, but even if you're not in the town, trouble and danger has a way of catching up with you. In that respect she was being a good mother.
Elijah reappears brought back by Damon, that was no surprise. Did Damon feel Elijah would have a score to settle with Klaus for daggering him? Elijah: "what have I missed?" Could ask the same about this episode, ha. Damon wasn't even shown removing the coffin from the house and freeing Elijah appears to be a wise move on his part, or is it?
