The day of the funeral arrives and Caroline (Candace Accola) dreams about her bike ride and how her mother (Marguerite MacIntyre) was there for her to bandage her arm when she fell off the bike. Telling her that people die eventually, but not just yet and by the time she does, Caroline will be older and won't need her. She wakes to find Elena (Nina Dobrev) Stefan (Paul Wesley) Tyler (Michael Trrevino) and Matt (Zach Roerig) sleeping in the room.  Damon (Ian Somerhalder) is up trying to write the eulogy and can't quite manage it.  He tells Caroline she wanted him to write it cos he didn't do it for his own mother, but she doesn't want to share with him.  He then tells her it's only going to get harder after tomorrow.  Yeah cos that's all she needed to hear.

Jo (Jodi Lyn O'Keefe) is sick and thinks it's cos of food poisoning.  Kai (Chris wood) turns up and needs help cos he's sick too and tells her it's not food poisoning.  He needs her magic cos he was meant to merge with her and not with Luke, though he adds he's getting nicer too.  She's reluctant to help until he tells her of the prison worlds that'll open and how they will all die and the coven will no longer be.  Alaric (Matt Davis) tells her she doesn't have to do this and give up her magic, he'll be there for her if she wants to fight him.

Damon gets ready the next day and has a flashback to Stefan tying his tie for their mother's funeral, only he took one of their father's, which he wont like.  He gives him his own and has to speak for her. Stefan asks him about Caroline and his feelings for her but he doesn't know what he should say but they need to talk about what happened.  Caroline makes a list of things to be done and gives them out to everyone.  She takes Elena to find a casket for her and meets a woman who tells her how she liked her mother.  Elena tells Caroline there's three categories to put people in so that she knows what to say to them.  Caroline tells her about kissing Stefan and she needs to talk him but Elena tells her to leave it for today.  Stefan sees Caroline and she says they need to speak and it's an inappropriate time but it has to be done.  He says they should leave it til later.  Elena asks if she's okay.

Matt doesn't let Tyler in cos he's drunk after everything he's been through with Liv.  He understands but this is about her mother. She's given a salute by the police and her radio is finally turned off after twelve years and four months, cos she doesn't answer it.  Damon gives the eulogy, calling Liz Forbes his friend and friend to the whole town.  He recalls her wanting to tell Caroline she's proud of her and he told her to tell her for herself, but she couldn't.  She thought Caroline was extraordinary and he adds Liz was too.  She was a hero to everyone and to him.  Caroline sings and Stefan changes his mind about what Damon said to him, and tells him that.  That they can't always find true love, that it may be messy, but it's better than nothing.  He's going to go for it with her.  The words came for the eulogy cos Damon realized it's not about him and cos he failed to give Stefan one for their mother.

Caroline tells Elena she's had enough and goes home.  Elena turns up and says she knows Caroline is going to turn off her humanity.  She did it cos it was too painful when she lost Jeremy.  When she lost Damon and Stefan went off to Savannah.  Elena tells her it's a mistake and she was wrong when she did that.  Caroline wants to stop feeling too and that's what she meant about tomorrow and she's listening to Damon cos tomorrow's going to be worse and after that too.  She snaps Elena's neck and disappears.  Stefan is to late cos he would've changed her mind if Stefan had something different earlier.  Well he didn't really say anything for Caroline to get that impression.  Everyone else switched off their humanity and now it's her turn, thinking she can control herself as a vampire.

Matt wants some of the respect that the sheriff had and so wants to become an officer, he got a form for training school and got one for Tyler too.  The look on Tyler's face.  Bonnie (Kat Graham) has her magic back and she's ready for the eclipse and to return home.  When she gets to the cave, she finds it's snowing and ends up at the house, where she reads notes about the aurora borealis and sees a picture of Damon and Stefan going back to 1903.  The eclipse and the northern lights are both the same.  Jo decides to give up her magic and lets Kai have it.  They stop the prison opening.  Bonnie performs the ritual but sees a woman there who she captures on camera.  Kai whispers in her ear and she tells Alaric he said he's pregnant.  Alaric wants to marry her cos he loves her.  He bought the ring after Luke died and was deciding on the best moment to give it to her.  She accepts his proposal.

Damon returns home and finds Bonnie in the kitchen with food ready.  She shows him the video and he recognizes the woman as his mother.  Of course as I said, as soon as she was mentioned, she'd turn up now.  Damon and Bonnie hugging, guess she had to be the one who came across his mother and now Damon will have to face up to her and his mother issues.  Can't tell if she's evil or just an ordinary mother. Though she was in that prison it seems, does this mean she was there for a reason and it looks like it's some sort of witch prison from what Kai said and cos she's in the same place they were.

Yes it's a TV show but giving a bit of a bad impression where it's okay for Caroline and anyone else to switch off their humanity after losing their loved ones.  It's not something we can do in real life. Okay, some can by drinking and the like, but it's not a final solution, the pain will still be there.

The funny oment inall tis though was Elena getting ehr neck snapped by ehr bestie!
