The gang head out to Nova Scotia with Shane (David Alpay) in tow as he attempts to lead them to the cure and raise Silas. How'd he get out of jail anyway. Didn't find this ep that interesting since it seemed to cover old ground as well as a few newer home truths for Elena (Nina Dobrev) as far as Damon (Ian Somerhalder) is concerned. We get plenty of flashbacks with Shane as he tells them about his wife Caitlin (Camille Guaty) and how she and his son were killed in a car accident, which didn't seem to make much sense as he found himself in a cave with Caitlin appearing to him. Was his need to bring back his family the reason he went off in search of Silas and yet here was a man telling her he didn't even want meat at their wedding so he could go through with the massacre but does so anyway. Also convincing the pastor to go through with it since it would reunite him with his own wife. Sounded like he was talking about Caitlin. She being a witch who uses expressionism. Which he made Bonnie (Kat Graham) use too and now only he can control her. We knew that, only it's like she's got a bomb inside of her and she's his insurance since after finding the cure he believes they won't let him live.
Soon after arriving on the island, Bonnie takes photos of Jeremy's (Steven R McQueen) tats, awkward she calls it, why couldn't she photoshoot (ha) Jeremy when he was already naked last ep! She also gets to manhandle his body, erm, witch-handle that is which he seems to enjoy. Anyway he is attacked by some islander and someone throws an axe into the attacker's back saving him. Though they don't know who. Jeremy later disappears in the night, surprised no one heard him and after that incident, why weren't they more cautious. Nah let's just leave him by himself.
There's more bickering to be had between Stefan (Paul Wesley) Elena and Rebekah (Claire Holt) as well as Damon too. With Rebekah stating Elena is useless and isn't needed here. She and Stefan have the headstone, Shane knows where the cure is, Jeremy has the map, Bonnie the spell and well Damon has a "nice behind." I was about to say he's just here for eye candy!!
As they search for Jeremy, Bonnie stays behind to try a locator spell, Damon stays to keep an eye on Shane who stays to watch out for Bonnie. Rebekah saves Elena from a trap and they argue with everyone always thinking Rebekah is evil. Elena adds they only did that after she tried to kill her. Rebekah later tells Stefan she drove Elena over the bridge cos she needed to save her family, which is what anyone would have done. Also that Elena was the cause of her losing two of her brothers, Kol and Finn.
Damon gets a chance to torture Shane, pity Elena had to interfere, damn it. The way she unties him, why couldn't she just leave him there, after all no one trusts him, she's so useless and naive, might I add fickle too. She and Damon argue over the cure and he admits he doesn't want it, he'd rather see her as a vampire too, cos otherwise she'll just grow old and die. He doesn't want that when she tells him to take the cure with her and become human. He hates the very thought of it. Telling her that's Stefan, not him. Stefan says much the same to Rebekah that he wants the cure and in his 165 years of being a vampire he hated every minute of it the pain, the guilt and wants it all gone. Elena calls a truce with Rebekah saying she didn't take the headstone, of course not, it was Shane, who else would it be. He's a piece of work, not only does he manipulate everyone into getting what he wants, but he also turns them against each other. Rebekah takes the stake as a truce.
Shane meets up with Jeremy, Massak (John Gabriel Rodriguez) a witch and Bonnie. She can't see the trail back and that's his insurance. So now he can raise Silas all by himself. Damon is attacked by one of the five, the same one who saved Jeremy.
Back at home Tyler (Michael Trevino) gloats over Klaus (Joseph Morgan) and wants to kill him in revenge for his mother, but he hasn't quite decided how yet. He relishes the moment, until Caroline (Candace Accola) turns up to spoil the fun. Tyler refuses to go home with her and Klaus stakes and pulls her into the room with him. Then bites her so the only thing that can save him is his blood. He doesn't want to cure her so they leave. Caroline tells him he's a leader and he saved all those hybrids from Klaus's clutches. They later return and Tyler leaves Caroline on the floor hoping her dying will appeal to Klaus's humanity.
Klaus says they killed Kol and he killed Tyler's mother so they're even. Caroline knows he loves her and she tried to forget all those things that he's done but she can't. She knows anyone who is capable of love can be saved. He finally feeds her his blood.
Shane telling Damon about the two massacres but there's going to be a third and they just leave him walking about like that. It's all Elena's fault, yes let's pin the blame on her the way she untied him after he calls Damon a maniac. Who's the real maniac here anyway? The cure was buried with Silas by the witch Katsia in the hopes he would take it and end it all. That really wasn't Caitlin appearing to Shane, it must have been Silas, in the hopes of getting someone to find him.
Caroline reminding Klaus of the bad things he's done including killing Jenna. This cure is taking forever to find, just want it to be over already, well it is kind of boring. Another plan goes awry. Why didn't anyone listen to Damon when he never trusted Shane from the outset, okay he's a bit of a knack for making enemies and not liking many people or vampires, but his instincts are almost always on the ball and he is a pretty good judge of character being around for so long. Both Klaus and Stefan mention how long they've been vampires, Klaus a thousand years and Stefan was 165.
Hated that self righteous scene with Elena when she's trying to convince Damon to take the cure and die with her. How does she know what's in store for them or whether they will get to grow old together. Not to mention the fact she berates him for sabotaging his relationships when he thinks he doesn't deserve them to to be happy. Elena you haven't known Damon that long to judge him in that way. Anyway this scene reminded me of The Last Day when Stefan and Elena were having quite a similar conversation. With him saying he would want to grow old with her, he wants to see her grow old and how she wants children and all the rest of it. Damon just isn't that kind of guy/vampire. That's who he is. He's seen it all like Stefan but he's not into carrying around a guilty conscience. Damon also forcing her to run against her will here. When she told Stefan she never wanted to be a vampire and that Damon doesn't know what love is if he could make her turn. She's changed her tune this season.
