Have to say this was an abysmal ep that I've watched. Caroline's (Candace Accola) self indulgence and just doing what she wants was irritating, not to mention karaoke, okay she sings really, but there's no need to rub it in. There she was promising she wouldn't harm anyone and yet she wreaks havoc at Whitmore, along with Stefan (Paul Wesley) who is relishing being back to his ripper self. Then Matt (Zach Roerig) and Tyler (Michael Trevino) decide to stop by the bar for food and get caught up in their deadly game. Caroline wanting to know things about herself they remember when they dated her and then she'll let the winner go. Her final question being what her mother's last thoughts were, answered by Stefan cos he was there and they weren't, about her riding her bike. So he wins. Tyler decides he's not playing along and wants to fight them, breaking up a chair for a stake, only Caroline moves and he stabs Matt instead, oops.
Elsewhere Enzo (Michael Mularkey) decides to leave Sarah (Tristan Mays) with her family and wash his hands of her. But when he turns up at the house Lily (Annie Wersching) answers the door. Of course he had to know her, she's the one who turned him. Cue the usual flashbacks, this time to Southampton, England, 1903 with Enzo trying to get onto the ship but he's got consumption, so he can't get on. Lily turns up and takes him on there, with the doctor telling him he can help, but Lily compels him for the truth and she turns Enzo to save him. With him thinking she's an angel, hey that's what Stefan thought of her too when he was little. Sarah is on vervain as Matt paid her a visit and she inject Enzo too. Wanting to know about her family. With him explaining he was going to leave her with Damon (Ian Somerhalder) the bad brother who's not so bad now and the one who was good, Stefan, is bad.
Damon tells Elena (Nina Dobrev) he's not going to let Lily bring back her family and he stops her from finding the cure in his drawer. Oh really Damon, first he used the soap dish to hide things and now it's back to the drawer. Need a new hiding place. Lily cooks breakfast but Damon doesn't remember it tasting this bad. He tells her she can have the ascendant and she has to help Stefan. Elena finds out they're at Whitmore bar from Jo (Jodi Lyn O'Keefe) and also finds out she's pregnant. Making her jealous and Jo asks her if she's told Damon how she feels. She's just happy for Alaric.
Damon tells Lily to text Elena that they're heading to the campus which was new to her, she was going to text an entire letter, 'My dearest Elena' 'n' all! When they arrive, she pikes out admitting she wasn't coming back for them and how Stefan will know she's lying. Damon tells Elena this and also that he has no intention of giving her the ascendant, again. But she says she was a lousy mother and so he gives her the ascendant when she says that he hasn't been honest with Elena about the cure. See he was carrying the ascendant around with him too.
We get more on Enzo and how she killed everyone on the ship by feeding off them, as well as Enzo having that bloodlust desire to feed and he does this by feeding off the charlatan doctor. He gets out of his ties and tells Sarah he's letting her go. She says she wants nothing to do with her family, but she's strangely drawn to death and the vervain's worn off, he could just let her go, which he does. Seems like he didn't want to get Stefan back now after he sees Lily. Was he really that afraid of her?
At the bar Stefan sees her and immediately recognizes her which is what Damon said he'd do, after she told him she couldn't love her own family, but loved her other family more. Caroline finds out she's his mother and makes a break for it cos she doesn't want to be brought back. Stabbing Stefan in the back, ha, that's what he got for losing his humanity for her. Lily brings Stefan back cos Damon coached her on what to say, hmm, didn't know Damon could be so emotional. Ha. She tells him she loves him and she's his angel returned to him, bringing him back. She was a ripper and she was afraid she'd hurt them if she came back. She wanted to see him grow up and he wouldn't have to carry around the guilt of being a ripper with him. It was cos of her. They'll have all of eternity to make amends and to get to know him. That was easy. Tyler takes Matt to hospital and he doesn't want to be saved by Elena's blood. He wants a doctor. He hates vampires so he can't have them help him when he needs it. Damon tells Stefan he can have tonight to wallow in his guilt and then go after Caroline, but he doesn't need a night, he'll go now.
Jo says that she needs the ascendant when she told her father about Kai, he told her how there are some witches who were heretics and became vampires, as well as witches, by feeding on themselves. She needs the ascendant, so they can't be brought back. The Gemini coven banished them and amongst them was her mother. Well Damon doesn't have it anymore and Lily brings back the six of them, with Jo saying imagine Kai as a vampire and then imagine six of him. Damon doesn't tell Elena about the cure after she tells him she wants to throw a baby shower for Jo. She was jealous and didn't react in the right way, but she's got him and so she's happy. Another secret! What's new. Though it won't last for long.
Glad they didn't draw out Stefan switching off his humanity any longer cos it would've gotten boring, seen it all before. But had to get the new storyline going of Lily and the witchy vampires, as Damon would call them. Once again it had to be all about Elena, she wants a family and has the chance now with the cure. Surprised Lily didn't want it. Elena didn't go to the bar but instead went to the hospital, leaving Damon to do it, yet she wants Caroline back to her normal vampire self again.
