Kai (Chris Wood) holds Elena (Nina Dobrev) hostage at the Mystic Grill and he got bored so he cooked for himself after years of experimenting and having all that time to himself. He also tells her of how he practised magic on the cook and he ended up making him vomit, then broke his spine and he exploded with blood everywhere. He tells Elena he's going to practise on her now and well, it's kinda fun seeing Elena being put through the ringer, cos it's always about her. Here we go on another rescue attempt. He ties her up in the school cos he says he needed to bring her here and tries another spell on her, this time trying to turn her blood into acid like before. She manages to get away and he melted her ring, but she can't save it by pouring water onto it. Instead she burns her hand in the sun and sets Kai on fire with the Bunsen. Also managing to call Damon (Ian Somerhalder) for help.
Damon having lent his house out for Jo )Jodi Lyn O'Keefe) to practise magic and get stronger with Liv's (Penelope Mitchell) help. Liv needs a shirt and Stefan (Paul Wesley) directs her to Damon's room, where she notices he has great taste in shirts. Stefan doesn't like waking up to a crowd of people at home, even finding Jeremy (Steven R McQueen) in a towel in the kitchen and hey no one's left him any coffee. Liv thinks if she can help Jo get stronger then she and Luke (Chris Brochu) won't have to merge; cos secretly she knows that he's stronger than her. See that's what I said, it seems the Gemini coven men are stronger than their female twins.
Caroline (Candace Accola) decides she needs another opinion and to find away of making their vampire blood work for her mother's (Marguerite MacIntyre) cure. Damon spends the night at the hospital and tells her that many women would kill to spend a night with him, yeah and in real life too, ha! Anyhoo, someone had to get that line in. Caroline takes her home and finds an expert in her field at Duke which perks up Stefan's ears as he decides he'll tag along and her mother thinks so too. You see that's where Sarah Salvatore Nelson (Tristin Mays) is and no sooner is she mentioned that she's brought into the picture. Wouldn't it have been better to not go there and see her, especially since he knows Enzo's (Michael Malarkey) on the prowl and lo and behold he turns up, wanting to know Stefan's secret. He followed Stefan here.
He finally tells Enzo in the hopes he'll leave him and Sarah alone, but of course that was too much to ask. Saying that Damon killed her mother and she was taken to hospital and Sarah was born by C-section. So he's kept the secret from Damon so he doesn't obsess over it. He doesn't care of Enzo tells him cos he'll either be glad Stefan saved her or not. Caroline compels the doctor (Karen Abercrombie) to tell her the truth about her mother's condition and she tells her there's no hope. Also telling her about another patient she's got for which nothing's worked either. Caroline gets it into her head to play vampire doctor, as she feeds him her blood in the hopes that he'll get better. Of course he does, but that'll be too good to last. She always gets some notion into her head and doesn't follow it through properly. Wasn't she supposed to stick around and see whether her blood really worked or not, that is after all, the whole purpose of an experiment. It's not a quick fix.
Enzo returns to the photography exhibition where Sarah's photos are on display and tells the woman in charge all about killing and then makes her forget, also wanting the photos. Matt (Zach Roerig) finds the cook and has called the sheriff. He's angry that magic hasn't been returned for only a few moments and yet the killing's started all over again. The sheriff almost passes out. Damon needs help and thinks Liv can do a cloaking spell so that he can rescue Elena, but she's taken away by Luke. He plans to take her back to their father, but she doesn't want to go, telling him to pack up the books if he wants them and admitting he's stronger than her and she doesn't want to merge with him.
Damon gets Jo to help instead and as they're inside the school, Kai is seen walking along the corridor too, but they're actually cloaked. Yeah Kai, you'd really put the empty can in the bin wouldn't you. Elena wants to know why he kills people and if he's ever really been close to anyone. He replies he was to his brother Joe once, probably that didn't last long. Damon unties her hands, but the spell doesn't last long, leaving Jo bleeding and weak and them uncloaked. She leaves and Damon tries to hold off Kai but he makes Elena disappear again and then Damon stakes him, but it's actually his clone, who is really Elena. He thinks he's winning and the next second he's got an arrow through him courtesy of Jeremy and Alaric injects him. Elena pretends Damon hasn't removed all the splinters from her heart, yeah hilarious Elena.
Luke decides he doesn't want to be like his father and he's told him they're not coming back, saying he can think for himself, just when Tyler (Michael Trevino) tells Liv they should run away. They're keeping Kai drugged up until Jo can get stronger and Alaric believes she can emerge (ha, my word) the winner. Just be easier to have killed him and have done with it, cos he's getting too irksome for my liking. Caroline returns home and tells her mother the good news about the patient who was eating and walking around out of bed. Just as she tells her she's not ready for her to go just yet, cos she hasn't graduated college and they haven't fought over flowers for her wedding, she convinces her mother to take her blood. The patient has convulsions, throws up blood and then dies. As she drinks Caroline's blood.
That's where we get a break from the show, erm, it's only been back a few backs! This ep was directed by Paul Wesley, who doesn't feature much, but he does come in the ep a lot more than many others do when they direct. Through all this laughing and joking and Elena wanting to try for that dinner with Damon again, seems she's forgotten about Bonnie and trying to get her back. As said, it's all about Elena and though Caroline has her mother to think about, it seems everyone's forgotten her. Isn't it obvious vampire blood won't heal her, so again, why not turn her into a vampire? Maybe it's cos they asked this question in Buffy also didn't they. Even Enzo plotting revenge was another repetitive storyline. Who is he really plotting against, is it his intense dislike of Stefan, or deep down is it cos he still hasn't forgiven Damon for leaving him behind all those years. Cos he wouldn't have gotten over it all this time and he knows that by hurting Stefan and the people he cares about will reflect back on Damon and also hurt him too. That's what I think anyway.
