Back from its Christmas break (ha) on an ep it shouldn't have been left on, sees Damon (Ian Somerhalder) still pining for Elena (Nina Dobrev) even though she can't remember and won't be getting her memories back. Which is a good thing really, cos love it or hate it, they shouldn't have gotten together to begin with. He wants to try and get her to remember but she has given up; telling Caroline (Candace Accola) who thinks it's a good thing that she doesn't recall, especially someone who killed her brother. She's happier now and she's living her life doing what she wants. Look another fundraiser now at the university and (Jo (Jody Lyn O'Keefe) is the guest of honour. Which is also attended by Elena with Liam (Marco James). Caroline also advising that he has nice eyes too, when all Elena could recall of Damon was that he had pretty eyes. Anyway Damon doesn't give up and compels Liam to get Elena Chardonnay, which she hates. They dance and she says she wants to remember after getting some air and she wants to see if they can make it work.
She wants him to take her to the place where they declared their love. He tells her about the meteorite shower, where it rained instead and she said it would clear up and they waited. Which just happens to be near to the town border it seems. But she can't recall anything even if they were 'in the moment' so to speak. She ask him what happened but he doesn't answer. As she runs to the border she gets flashes of memory of her and Damon, but nothing returns. He tells her she'll hurt herself if she keeps trying it. That it turned muddy and cold and they went home. Watch this ep for Damon's speech alone when they're at the fundraiser, quite a heartbreaker, coming from him. Damon calls it quits cos she's happy and she deserves it.
Enzo (Michael Mularkey) has Trip (Colin Ferguson) but thought they'd torture him some and get some answers from him. Telling him there are others like him, doing what he does. Matt (Zach Roerig) thinks they can let him go and compel him to forget after the vervain wears off. Caroline gets called by her mother (Marguerite MacIntyre) who's been held hostage by his men for an exchange. Caroline doesn't want to be friends with Stefan (Paul Wesley) anymore, as we know, but he's with her when her mother calls. They take Trip for the exchange, but not before Enzo tells Stefan how Caroline has "a thing for him." That's why there were in Savannah. Caroline says she did but she doesn't anymore and doesn't want to talk about it ever again. They agree to it, but in fact, they don't agree, it's what she wanted.
They make the exchange, but as soon as he crosses the line, Trip dies. Apparently Enzo turned him which explains why he had all that blood on his hands and couldn't answer his phone sooner, cos the touchscreen wouldn't work. Didn't know whether to laugh at that or not, cos they actually trusted him with Enzo, he's not exactly going to be Mr Hearts and Flowers all of a sudden. More like, also puts his foot in everything, as well as blabbing. At the hospital Caroline said she did have a thing for Stefan, cos she thought he was her friend, she trusted him, but he doesn't feel the same way. Stefan doesn't know how he feels cos he was in a different headspace at the time.
Bonnie (Kat Graham) gets away from Kai (Chris wood) and manages to get some painkillers, as well as putting together the gadget to get home. Unfortunately for her, Kai is always one step behind her, or in front of her. Cos he wants to leave here too and lies about having changed, that Bonnie changed him into being the better person. He regrets killing his family and could have taken a better approach to sorting his problems. As soon as Jo said family and the conversation between Alaric (Matt Davis) and Damon where she says she's 'put' her magic away, knew that Kai was her brother. Even more so after Alaric sees her scar where her psycho brother tired to cut her. Also when Luke (Chris Brochu) mentions to Liv (Penelope Mitchell) how they'll have to go once the coven summons them.
Having set Tyler (Michael Trevino) to work helping Liv serve at the fundraiser, but it doesn't mean they're even for her having to kill someone to stop him from turning. Liam finds out that lady Whitmore no longer has a shoulder injury which cleared up and he's going to get to the bottom of it. Especially after Damon, who was meant to be her dead boyfriend turns up. As Damon in wallowing mode as usual, finds Bonnie's teddybear at the cemetery, knowing she's alive. Cos she put her magic into him and transported him here instead of herself and Kai. Also Bonnie saying she 'put her magic' away just as Jo said she's done the same earlier.
Suppose this ep will also be remembered cos it had the best songs, especially in the Elena and Damon scenes and Stefan and Caroline ones. As well as Damon's best speech, a little similar to the one he gave in 4.22 The Walking Dead, or am I not remembering this right like Elena? ha. Well I have a lot on my mind!
