Katherine's (Nina Dobrev) now taken to writing in Elena's diary about how perfect she is, how perfect Katerine is of course. Saying she's got a perfect life, is young, gorgeous and has rid her of Damon (Ian Somerhalder) cos she's after Stefan (Paul Wesley) and the two of them are destined for one another, how many times have we heard that one. Replacing a pic of Katherine and Stefan for her phone.
Caroline (Candace Accola) Bonnie (Kat Graham) and Elena/Katherine attend a lecture, surprise, surprise but they don't really get anything from it, other than Bonnie finding another witch on campus! As the girl next to her does a floaty, spinning thingy with her pen. Bonnie should have been more preoccupied with why she hasn't been anchor to Katherine and seen her to the other side, but no, did she get her brain back when she became the anchor, sounds harsh, but how can she miss such a big plot point, writers be darned! Caroline tells them they're going to Whitmore's 'Bitter Ball' once again showing there's no getting away from a party for whatever reason!
Stefan finds Aaron's DB in the back of the car which has been driven drunkenly onto the plants at Salvatore manor. Stefan can't believe what Damon's done since he got dumped he went on another killing spree, "be more predictable." Enzo (Michael Malarkey) admits it was cos of him but Stefan doesn't care and so he shouldn't, Damon should be responsible for his own killings. Damon doesn't want or need saving as he and Enzo plot their next Vic which will be Maxfield (Rick Cosnett). Katherine asks what Elena would say and Matt (Zach Roerig) figures she's after Stefan again, also adding how Bonnie's real name is Sheila, was that necessary, ha. Nadia (Olga Fonda) compels him to forget what they spoke of and this compelling is becoming old hat too. Nadia wants to spend more time with her mother but she's more into spending time with Stefan and referring to Matt as "Matty Blue Eyes."
As for Maxfield, he's experimenting on another vampire called Joey who has his arms chained. Maxfield bemoans funding and up pops the answers to his continuing research. A woman named Sloan (Caitlin McHugh) not to be mistaken for the show A Man Named Sloane, ha. She has been following his experiments and wants in. As well as breaking the news of Aaron's death to him. Well whose fault was that.
Damon and Enzo continue on their murder spree this time killing a woman from campus security who covered up student deaths by faking suicide notes for them. Enzo gets clean up duty cos he's so happy to do whatever Damon wants of him. Stefan finds him there and questions as to why he needs to drag Damon to this entire killing scenario and manages to attack him with his own shovel. Enzo as said in previous reviews is no match for him and Stefan questions what he could do to him that he hasn't already suffered. Warning Enzo when he's through with him it'll be final.
Katherine invites Stefan to the ball and manages to convince him to come. Caroline thinks she's flirting with Stefan. Tyler (Michael Trevino) drowns his sorrows at the Mystic Grill and sees Nadia there too. She's wallowing cos of her mother dying and Matt tells Tyler about Katherine. Also about how she locked him in the safe. Tyler wants to do shots. Complaining of their mothers and how Tyler's mother wrote his English paper for him. Nadia's mother compelled a whole town to be her friend. Matt's mother got it on with Tyler. He heads for the little boy's room and Nadia asks who Enzo is, then compels Matt to forget which Tyler hears cos of his super hybrid hearing. He tells Matt what happened and ensures he drinks coffee since the sheriff has made sure it's got vervain in it.
As Bonnie and Jeremy (Steven R McQueen) get ready for the ball, Damon swoops in wanting Bonnie to do a locator spell so they can find Maxfield. Enzo appears from behind and kidnaps Jeremy, much to Bonnie's protestations. Bonnie tells Damon how angry Elena will be but he tells her they're broken up and he's written a country song about it too. Bonnie can't do the spell but he's certain she can find some witch around campus to do it.
Katherine proceeds to hog Stefan as soon as he arrives and is trying to get close to him when Caroline interrupts and takes her to the shredding room to shred Klaus's picture he gave her of the horse. Stefan was trying to find the right time to tell her about Aaron but didn't think it was now cos she was so happy. Stefan reveals to Caroline how Damon always wants people to hate him when he goes off the rails and he does this by causing as much pain as he can. Some would call that being an adolescent brat! Bonnie finds Liv (Penelope Mitchell) who is catering the party. Stefan asks what's happening and Damon shows him a pic of Jeremy being tortured. Katherine sees and feigns concern, before she turns away and smirks with some eye rolling! Cos she couldn't care less.
Katherine asks what Elena would do about Jeremy and Nadia warns her everything possible to save him. Katherine thinks if he dies then Stefan will comfort her. Matt sees Nadia with her phone and she compels him into revealing if Stefan likes Caroline or Elena. Matt on vervain doesn't know what's happening then when she leaves he tries to tell Tyler, but Nadia snaps his neck. Oh how convenient! Bonnie tries to get Liv to help and doesn't oblige until Caroline shows her fangs. They head for Salvatore mansion, home for all wayward waifs it seems and Bonnie teaches her how to scry. Damon calls to tell Enzo they're not getting anywhere and he tortures Jeremy with a plastic bag. Katherine knows where Jeremy is cos it's the Whitmore house which she recognized from the phone pic and takes Stefan there. He fights Enzo, not being able to finish him off for good as he told him before and Katherine has to give Jeremy CPR, ha! Her just desserts for being so callous!
Tyler doesn't know what's going on with Matt and storms off as Matt gets into the car with Nadia. He realizes Katherine is alive and took over Elena's body but he's threatened by Nadia who chokes him. Damon and Enzo find the lab where Maxfield's hold up and Damon sees the vampire Joey. Maxfeild injects Damon with his Augustine vampire serum and Damon proceeds to rip Joey to pieces. He's in full blown ripper mode as he rips his head off too. Katherine tries to get Stefan interested in her by wanting him to remove the splinter in her back placed there courtesy of Enzo. She finds out about Aaron and then says she can't get with Damon cos he tried to kill Jeremy. Stefan almost falls Vic to her seduction, but Caroline walks in.
Really not much to comment on in this ep, seems we've seen it all before. Damon who was supposed to be all pally and big brotherly with Jeremy now has him kidnapped just to locate Maxfield. I mean he's a vampire he can't search him out and have a sixth sense about such things. Then again they couldn't find Elena when he had her either. It appears Jeremy only crops up when he's going to be the Vic in some form or another. So much for his abilities as hunter, what happened to all that fight training he did? Nadia and her constant compelling of Matt is just beginning to annoy. That's been over-used and very convenient as a tool for too long. Especially since Tyler's found out about it but still the compelling continues. You'd think if Tyler really wants to help Matt, why doesn't he hang around more and listen out for what Nadia's really up to.
Damon and Katherine evolve as characters, redeem themselves over and over and then go back to being bad and self-absorbed, only looking out for themselves. With Damon it's understandable, after all he doesn't have anyone watching out for him but even when he did, like Alaric, he would always be the butt of his anger anyway. Just prolonging the agony with this Augustine vampire story and how long will this Sloan be around anyway, she just seems pointless too.
