So we're off to rescue the mother this ep after Damon (Ian Somerhalder) does some crawling to Bonnie (Kat Graham) oh don't even get me started on sanctimonious Bonnie! She's changed yeah and into a right old witch, use your rhyming skills here for what I really mean. She meets with Kai (Chris Wood) who tells her he's changed and then shows her the 1903 ascendant which he found cos he knew that Damon would've wanted it, shouldn't have bothered. This must be bitchin' season in Mystic Falls, cos everyone was showing their selfish side all of a sudden. Never mind Stefan's (Paul Wesley) trying to guilt Caroline (Candace Accola) into losing control, wait guilt isn't the right word. he's trying to get her to become like him, so when her year is over she can feel the pain of every cruel act she's inflicted on the innocent and some not so innocent. Well Caroline that's what you get for making him lose his humanity, switch it off. Did she think it'd be some picnic as if she hasn't already seen what he's capable of. He was the ripper after all and as Damon says he's halfway to getting there again.
So Stefan wasn't faking switching his humanity off, it would've been far easier if he had, instead we get a vampire v vampire game of revenge like Stefan gathering up the trture tools, contained in the throne! With Damon being a little slow to inject him, so much for being big brother. He kills Carolin's director of the play she was auditioning for, well that's what you get for blabbing. She scuppered Enzo's (Michael Mularkey) plans of getting revenge on Stefan using Sarah (Tristan Mays) and thinks she can just live' a normal life, go to college and everything's going to be peachy in a year.
I'm still waiting for Jeremy to get that call about Bonnie being back, you know, 'she's back' and not for the better; Alaric's (Matt Davis) too caught up with being a father. Jo (Jodi Lyn O'Keefe) treats Sarah in hospital and tells her she was found by a professor after having too much to drink, so how come she didn't notice her scars, cos I mean you do have scars after surgery. Alaric thinks she can spend a normal life back at Duke after this and Jo gets a notion to name their child Duke which he hates. But comes up with Josette as an alternative. Course he's not been thinking baby names. Enzo goads him to trying to get Stefan and Caroline with vervain, calling him a coward and the kid won't be too proud of that.
Caroline telling Enzo she's a drama major, thought she was going to say drama queen! Would've been more appropriate since this entire mess began with her. After everything she's been through, she's not able to deal with the pain of losing a loved one, how'd she cope when she lost her father and don't tell me she didn't love him, cos she did and also don't say it was cos her mother was around. Anyway she takes apart Stefan's bike after he bit off the director's head and he tells her that's all she could come up with. So she punches his fuel tank. Then he turns up again as she stakes him and then stakes a student who's not really meant to be there. Before Enzo and Alaric show up and are attacked by a Molotov cocktail, of sorts. Caroline stops Stefan from killing them by threatening him with the vervain and he decides the girl's a much better choice, as he feeds on her and tempts Caroline into doing the same. Then they just get together, casually doing their thang. Which she what she wanted all along, but really in this way Caroline?
So they head to 1903 with Bennett blood and they need the ascendant back to return to Mystic Falls, thus Bonnie says she'll look for it with Kai since Damon and Elena should meet his mother alone. Knew she was lying through her teeth. Finally meeting mother (Annie Wersching) she tells them how she got vampire blood by a nurse in the hospital. She's been using two drops of blood a day cos that's all she could find here and also scrimping on the teabags I see, using one for three, ha! Damon tells her she needs to return cos she has to bring Stefan back and only a mother's love can do that, yeah and that of a fellow ripper. Lily wants to take back the others with them whom she calls her family, cos they saved her. Damon says they can't take them all back and will return for them. Elena finds the ascendant in the cave as Bonnie has her own agenda for revenge.
She reminds Kai about leaving her alone as she stabs him in the back and leaves him there. She believes he has changed but so has she. He disappears. Damon breaks the bottle of blood so she can't give it to them and they can't come with them as they head for home. Kai finds them, but he calls out to Bonnie, why didn't he just run and join them. He later finds Lily's family there in the cave. Bonnie interrupts Damon and Elena and he says they're not going back to 1903 only he hasn't told Lily that. She gives him something she brought back from 1994, cos his notes on Nova Scotia reminded her of there being magic there. He opens up the box to find the cure. He wanted it for Elena once and now he's not sure what he wants to do with it. She says it's none of her business what he does with it. He could just give it to Lily instead.
Liked Damon's line of Stefan being a mama's boy, that's why he's a ripper too. Also why he acts out so much! ha. Bonnie has well and truly changed cos old Bonnie would've told Damon to give Elena the cure, but she's not bothered either way. Gordon Bennett (as we say here! ha) Bonnie you should've stayed back in 1994 and alone. Seems Stefan and Caroline are going to reek havoc as the rip roaring duo for a while now. Wonder how Stefan will react when he sees mother. Won't that make him act out even more, not to mention Lily's reaction. Who knows what she'll do seeing him that way.
As far as I'm concerned there may have been a point where I didn't like what Enzo was up to with Sarah, but now I agree with him. He should destroy Stefan in any way possible, even if that means using Sarah. Okay Stefan flipped his switch for Caroline, but he knew what he was getting into and they are such a selfish lot. Got his mother back to save his family as Damon tells Lily about Stefan being his family, lied to everyone in the process and didn't think about getting Kai back, who isn't perfect, but it's okay for them to use people like that. Same goes for you Elena, all about you. All she could bring back was Damon's baby pic, boo hoo! The sooner she takes the cure, the better cos she's really nothing but a loose end. Maybe I have too much of a conscience when watching this show, should flip the switch and turn it off, ha, but Damon you too have gone off the rails and killed people, even if you weren't a ripper! So much for judging Lily.
