Another Elena-centric ep again, as she now gets Alaric (Matt Davis) to compel Elena (Nina Dobrev) to make her forget Damon (Ian Somerhalder) catch being, the only way she can do this is if she recalls the exact moment she realized she loved him. So enabling us to have flashbacks to their 'romance' when Damon was the one who fell for her, love at first sight for him and she fooled herself into thinking that she loved Stefan (Paul Wesley) well she did, but not as much as she thought. Especially since she admits she found Damon dangerous and attractive, as well as 'sexy' particularly after he took her to the school dance. Recalling those moments but she still answers that Damon is her boyfriend and he died, everytime Alaric asks her. Until he calls Caroline (Candace Accola) and she tells him how Elena fell in love with Damon when she as still with Stefan. Thus Elena fooling herself, or rather being in denial that she was faithful to Stefan all this time. She may have been faithful to him as far as that word entails emotions, but in her heart she knew she wanted Damon, so how faithful was that really?
Alaric makes her recall that, that she's lying to herself and even though Caroline tells Elena that they may still find Damon and things could be different, she doesn't want to believe that. Is that to save herself the heartache of letting him go again, or just cos she didn't have such strong feelings for him, or the result of losing him. Anyhoo, Alaric gets her to confront that true moment which was when Damon put the necklace Stefan gave her around her neck and she didn't think he was that bad of a person, or a monster. Until she finally forgets he's her boyfriend and does recall the monster he is and how he killed Jeremy.
Speaking of Damon, well he' stuck in 1994 with Bonnie (Kat Graham) back in Mystic Falls, 10th May 1994 to be precise and the town's deserted and they're reliving the same day over and over as seen by the solar eclipse. Damon thinking this is his hell and he's doomed to live it with Bonnie and she thinking it's hers with him. She can't work out an answer in the crossword puzzle and finds the teddy bear she lost when she was 9 at her house. As well as a Grimoire, so maybe she can learn magic again. Damon also finding Elena's necklace and reliving the moment of when he put it round her neck. Guess that was meant to be a destiny, kind of parallel world kind of moment with them both remembering the same thing, but for different reasons, or maybe just deja vu would be easier. Bonnie also confirming they're not alone since someone's finished the crossword puzzle, as the answer is Yellow Ledbetter. How could Bonnie think Damon would even be remotely interested in finishing her puzzle! Ha. Or is even interested in crosswords.
Caroline is still searching for Stefan along with Enzo's (Michael Malarkey) help and they find him shacked up with the random, Ivy (Emily Chang) he met last ep. Only he's a mechanic now and isn't doing his investigating anymore in searching for Damon which Enzo is peeved with and starts a fight over it. Stefan having to break his neck to stop it. That's the point at which he finds out Elena loved Damon the same time she was still with Stefan and he wasn't meant to hear that but he does when Caroline tells Alaric that. Caroline is angry and hurt that he didn't listen to his messages when she was breaking down and needed him, so she cries in the car and Enzo sticks up for her in a kind of twisted knight in shining jeans kind of way. He tells Stefan he's a sorry excuse for a brother and recalls how Damon said he'd hurt him for an eternity, so he's going to do that now, not understanding what a brother could have done to hurt another brother and kills her to make Stefan understand the torment and what Damon would've done to him. This one's for hurting Caroline.
Jeremy (Steven R McQueen) shacks up with Sarah (Gabrielle Walsh) and she's apparently stole her boss's car and is looking for her father, so is her father Trip (Colin Ferguson) who we find out was an offspring of the Mystic Falls founding fathers, the Fell family. He's a hunter/killer, I guess, as he makes a bunch of vampires he's caught burn in sunlight. Jeremy doesn't care what Matt (Zach Roerig) says about her, he's still hooking up with her and has paid Bonnie's phonebill so they can hear hear voice and her mother wanted that too, but he's angry she broke the news to him about her dying over the phone.
Well I'd love to spend the same day over and over with Damon! ha. Also Damon making pancakes! But I'm glad Elena forgot her feelings for him, now let's hope we can move on from them being together. Enzo is more like Damon's twin in terms of his evilness, just doing away with Sarah like that, like some sort of collateral damage. He is right in terms of Stefan giving up on Damon though, just like Elena doing the same. So in that respects they're both similar and should get back together. It'll make sure they would get away from Damon pining for her still. Of course we now have Trip in the picture and he's going to be the new bad guy in town.
