Stefan (Paul Wesley) manages to find Caroline (Candace Accola) and they end up in a hotel together. Stefan tries to convince her that his humanity is still off cos his mother tried to talk him round, but she can't really love him and isn't much of a mother. He orders towels from room service, so they can feed off the staff, as we see flashbacks of their plans to bring Caroline back and convince her to switch on her humanity. Room service arrives and guess what, it's Damon (Ian Somerhalder) who shoots them both and knocks them out. When they wake up, the sheets are bloodied and they realize they've had their blood drained to starve them and the room's been vampire proofed. Elena (Nina Dobrev) also mentions a letter that arrived from Caroline's mother (Marguerite McIntyre) after she died and that will help her come back. Surprised no one read that, you know, just as a precaution, or copied it. Didn't anyone think she might destroy it in her state.
Alaric (Matt Davis) and Jo (Jodi Lyn O'Keefe) guard the room and she tells him he's going to sample some wedding cakes at a bakery she's found cos she stayed with him playing gin. Elena interrupts them and tells Alaric it's good to see him happy, ass she takes over. Elena gives Caroline the letter but she doesn't want it and guesses it's her plan to bring back her humanity. She orders Stefan to burn it, oh great been alive so long and Stefan didn't know any sleight of hand either. Not to mention how I've always said the plans in this show always go awry and it's a common occurrence. He thinks she should read it but she gives him the match and he burns it. Elena can't believe she lost the only ace she had in helping her.
She and Damon then talk about how things would be different if they were human and she says he'd be working in a bar, with Damon remarking she's turned him into Matt (Zach Roerig) then she adds he'd own the bar, give her foot massages when she returns home from being a resident in the OR. They'd have two children so they could keep each other company when they were busy with other distractions. Caroline screams and she's heard everything they said. She torments Elena about what she said and wanting children with her non-existent human life. Which upsets Elena cos she didn't stick around to hear it. Saying Elena's only settling for the life she has. Of course this was tormenting Damon too cos he has the cure and can give Elena everything she wants, thing being if she was human, they wouldn't be together, cos human Elena chose Stefan over him. At this point in time it's no wonder cos he doesn't trust her to make the decision she really wants. Thing is would Stefan want her now?
Damon tells Bonnie (Kat Graham) about the witches, of the 'witchpires' and she wants the ascendant, saying he shouldn't come round and talk to her when he's risking her life again. She later breaks in and steals the ascendant, after she gets Matt to stall Lily (Annie Wersching) at the bar, pretending she wants to meet Lily. Enzo (Michael Mularkey) musters courage to meet Lily and she finally recognizes him as Lorenzo. Wanting to know why she left him in the ship all alone with decapitated bodies. She remarks on how she spent time in prison cos of the Gemini coven and she didn't want to leave him, going on about loyalty. Matt looks at his scar and Bonnie eventually finds the ascendant when lily arrives home. She sees the drawer open, what Bonnie you couldn't use your magic to close it behind you. Enzo tries to tell Lily that the only family she needs is right here in the house. She refuses to listen cos her family is the only one who can save her from becoming a ripper.
Lily wants Damon to get the ascendant back in return for the cure and he stops Bonnie from destroying it, but she tells him she knows him. She spent four months with him and he doesn't want Elena to be human otherwise he would've told her about the cure by now. He's risking Bonnie's life again and leading her to her death again. He leaves without taking the ascendant. It's not about Kai cos those witches are stronger than all of them.
Damon and Elena give Caroline photos of the the people she's killed and what her mother would say. There'd be too much for her to just sweep away. She realizes Stefan has his humanity back cos no one's telling him about what he's done. Also cos Stefan doesn't want to be with her. She drives away and sirens are chasing her. Her mother gets out of the car and arrests her. She realizes Stefan is showing her memories and then he shows her the one about the day her mother wrote the letter. He said he wants to be with Caroline but he wants it to be perfect, where she's happy and not grieving. She doesn't want the letter posted cos she hasn't finished it yet. Stefan leaves and the memory fades, but she wants more. Then regrets burning the letter, that it was all her fault.
Damon doesn't give her the ascendant and she throws the cure into the fire, or he believes he does. She knew he couldn't tell her about it and she returns home and finds the cure in a box surrounded by petals. Then overhears them talking and how he wasn't going to tell her. Damon wants to explain. See Damon you're still lousy at hiding things!
As for Lily being a ripper, she's lousy at being a mother, but she hasn't even tried to control her need to frenzy feed. In many ways, Damon and Stefan were better off without her being here. Enzo comes when she calls and she tells how she ripped the head of a man and now she regrets it. He came cos loyalty means something to him too and she saved him when his family had turned their backs on him. Cue an Enzo/Lily reliance and how she thinks more of him than her own sons. Stefan doesn't want to be with Caroline cos she doesn't want him around and Jo says it's her decision. Caroline looks at the photos of everyone she's killed and she doesn't think there's any future for them and leaves. Well she doesn't say it in so many words, but it looks that way.
Elena looks at the cure and Damon said he was silly to play that 'five years from now' game and she says they should give it to someone else cos she wants to be with him. To the point where Damon says they'll take the cure together cos he wants her to have that life. He can't be without her, but can't really see Damon as human. For starters, he wouldn't last long me thinks and especially with mommie dearest around and all those so called enemies of his.
Once again we get it being all about Elena, Damon didn't tell her about the cure, she could've had a chance at a normal life, he selfishly wanted her to stay with him forever...cos no one else is allowed to wallow and to think about themselves cos it's all about Elena, as I said. So what if Bonnie didn't give Damon the cure for Elena, she could've given it to Caroline instead, but Damon said everyone's refused it. They should give it to Lily! But all Elena can see is what she wants in her messed up 'I'm always right' mentality. As Caroline said to her, she switched off her humanity, she killed the waitress cos she could and no one else can do anything differently.
