Damon (Ian Somerhalder) can't wait to see Elena (Nina Dobrev) and rekindle the passion, but alas he isn't aware she doesn't feel the same way, until Stefan (Paul Wesley) breaks the news to him. So he didn't have time for the story of how he got back, it was just Elena on the brain, understandable, but he could've mentioned Bonnie, that way Stefan could've warned him about the new hunter in town, or out of town. Elena hiding behind a closed, locked door, as if that would really keep him out. She's compelled to forget him but why did she still act and look like she's still in lust with him, er, love with him. If she was so determined to forget him and her feelings; that the compulsion worked and she wanted to keep her bad feelings about Damon, why the hesitation. Why isn't it that Alaric's (Matt Davis) compulsion didn't come undone when he was saved at the end and the 'magic' wore off and he became human? Maybe that's not what happens, but it would've made for a better plotline. Then Elena could've had no choice in whether she wanted to be uncompelled or not and would have to face her feelings, instead of hiding, not to mention, then it wouldn't be all about her again!
Damon telling Jeremy (Steven r McQueen) that Bonnie is at peace was harsh, especially since he really doesn't know where Bonnie is or whether she survived or not. It's not like she will give up without a fight and it didn't help Jeremy any, as he practically broke the pool table and smashed the phone, so he can't listen to the message Damon left on the phone. He was trying to be kind to Jeremy and save him the pain of the truth, that she's gone for a second time and worst of all for him, after saving Damon. But he should've understood that lying is not the way to go. Especially when he feels similar to what he's going through cos Elena doesn't want him. Maybe that's the entire reason why he didn't tell him, as he later told Stefan, he didn't want Elena to be happy, but miserable like him, this applied to Jeremy too.
Enzo (Michael Mularkey) wanted Matt (Zach Roerig) to break him out or else he'll tell Tripp (Colin Ferguson) about Stefan, Caroline (Candace Accola) and who else are vampires, but if Tripp is a hunter, how come he can't already tell. Just cos Ivy (Emily Chang) had Caroline on speed dial, that doesn't mean she's a vampire too. A bit silly if you ask me, oh okay, you didn't but... Matt has to tell the others about Enzo and so Caroline wants to kick his butt for getting caught, but Stefan admits he turned him in to Tripp, thinking he'd kill him. Again why would he just kill him? Caroline saying the same thing to Stefan when rescuing him, only to discover he's gone. Yeah Stefan, which brain were you thinking with when you turned him in, 'upstairs or downstairs brain', as Dean would say!! Supernatural Dean that is! Ha.
Alaric tells Elena about Jo (Jodi Lyn O'Keefe) not being compelled and tastes her coffee to find it doesn't contain vervain, so how did she resist his compulsion. She knows about the girl Elena saved last ep and her 'miraculous' recovery and Elena works out she's a witch and she already knows they're both vampires. So they leave it at that. Matt finds Caroline's phone in Tripp's locked drawer, after Sarah (Gabrielle Walsh) opens it and he tells her that Damon and Stefan are her relatives, but they're not good and so they're not her family.
Damon hangs out at Elena's dorm, drawing a silly matchstick men on her photo frame and she calls him telling him she wants to talk. But Tripp gets there first whilst Damon's prettying himself in the mirror and gives away the game plan, or rather his gameface when he tries to attack him. Thus he ends up with Enzo in that van and Caroline and Elena and Stefan and Alaric set up roadblocks for the van. Excuse me, but if you're going to set up a roadblock, why so close to Mystic Falls border? Alaric tells Stefan he's not the only one who gave up on finding Damon, cos he was all consumed with himself, well, thoughts of consuming blood, so he wasn't alone in that. Elena tells Caroline she wants to be uncompelled, which was news to her. Didn't look like she took it as good news though since she didn't really react to it.
As Damon and Enzo have a reunion, he tells him he killed Ivy and Stefan turned him in. The roadblock proves useless as Tripp overpowers Alaric and drives the van across the boundary, overturning it in the process and escaping too. Enzo and Damon have consumption, as Enzo puts it and Alaric is wounded. Jo happens to arrive cos she's stalking him and saves him as Stefan rescues Damon and Enzo. Jo saves Alaric's life and in the process he becomes human. Did she use magic on him to make him human as she saved his life? I think she did cos I don't think she's a good witch, if she is a witch, she was very schtum about it all. Elena not pursuing it further. What's with all the, 'don't ask about me' and vice versa comment anyway. It appears Jo knows more about Elena and Alaric than she does about Jo! Which means her witchy magic may have worked there in Mystic Falls. Is she a Gemini witch? Oh I give up making any sense of this! Ha.
Caroline tells Stefan she doesn't want to be friends with him, no, she wants more than just friendship, only Stefan can't see it. Elena agrees to finally talk with Damon and thinks it's better this way, so maybe she can make her own memories of him, as they meet up at the dorm again. Nice song, Unbreakable by Jamie Scott, shame it had to be used on Elena, ha! So that's it, we get our Christmas break, which wasn't fair, we only got 6 eps, we usually get 8 at least!! Stingy much ITV2?!!
Enzo saying Stefan was jealous of his accent when he turned him over to Tripp. Damon wanting Alaric to uncompel Elena, he knew he wouldn't get anywhere with that. Did it seem as though he was going for Alaric's neck, but reached for the bottle instead. Damon telling Jeremy he's not stalking Elena but lying in wait!! So was the ep title also a reference to Alaric and Jo. I honestly don't know why the eps have to be Elena-focused so much. So boring. How come Damon has gone back to being so cruel again, messing with Jeremy's emotions and everyone else's too. What, he can't have Elena so he's not going to tell everyone Bonnie is alive and could get back?
