So it's the big day and everyone is having some sort of a crisis, what's new. Hold on, as Jo (Jodi Lyn O'Keefe) said, maybe I shouldn't have used the word 'big' ha. Bonnie (Kat Graham) dreams of Kai (Chris Wood) (should I read anything into that? ha, you know love/hate) and Lily (Annie Wersching) terrorizing her and wakes to find it was only a dream. As we know when Bonnie dreams it's not for the best and something will happen. Elena (Nina Dobrev) wakes her for the wedding preps and everything's going wrong until Caroline (Candace Accola) turns up, yeah control freak Caroline, which she later tells Stefan (Paul Wesley). That she was horrible, she made him switch off his humanity after she did the same to herself, cos there was nothing else left for her to do. But he forgives her. All she needed from him was a response to how he felt about her, which he couldn't do, not until it was too late. So she tells him that control is all she has and she doesn't want to lose that.
Stefan drives Damon (Ian Somerhalder) to a house in the 'burbs so he can see what his human life will be like. He hasn't thought about the bills, the mortgage, the 2.4 children or anything. But lo and behold, he's actually thought of it all. The bar where he'll work, where they'll live and where Elena will go to med school. Stefan calls Elena to tell her the bad news but she wants him to still try. He gets inside Damons' head and shows him he'll be microwaving dinners, be all alone, when she returns at all hours and after she graduates med school, she'll still be busy and they'll drift apart. To the point of where they'll resent each other cos they won't have time for each other. Even when Elena dies he'll be alone. But Damon's having none of it. Even when Stefan tells him it was her idea. He can't believe his brother and his girlfriend are so sadistic.
Stefan leaves him there and he busts the football of the neighbour's kid, then sees a couple who've been together for forty years and has a change of heart. No, he can't be human, it's not about him being human to be with Elena, cos that's not what the show's about. Aas Stefan said, he was inadequate when he was human, he had no purpose. Yet she's happy when he tells her that he's going to take the cure for both of them. Here's hoping by the end of the ep he changes his mind. Cos really it can't be all about Elena again, even now with the cure.
Enzo (Michael Mularkey) drops by with an MP3 of songs for Lily and when Bonnie gives them to her she grabs her by the neck. Don't now why she bothered. Caroline ropes in Tyler (Michael Trevino) and Matt (Zach Roerig) to help with the wedding arrangements, yeah Tyler and flowers and Liv (Penelope Mitchell) arrives for the wedding. Caroline says they should talk, but after what she did to him, there's not much to say. Bonnie tells Matt about her dreams and he suggests they should get rid of Lily once and for all. When they go and get her from the dungeon, she's not there and they're strangled by Kai of course, with his invisible power. It had to be him, but why not just kill them and end it if he's so ruthless about the whole thing.
Lily thanks Enzo for the MP3 and has a message that her friends are here. At the containers, there's no sign of them and Enzo asks who made her come here. Was it possibly Jeremy? Haven't seen him in a while and well it is the season finale next ep. Jo has a panic attack and is rushed to hospital with Elena calling Alaric (Matt Davis) about it. But he can't see her cos it's bad luck and Mystic Falls is the worst place to not be suspicious. Not that it mattered. Cos at the wedding they say their vows and Jo even walks down the aisle withe her father (Christopher Cousins). Yet there's a surprise in store, Kai turns up and stabs her. Then leashes hell on the guests.
Jo's almost pre-emptive fateful line when she asks if it's the wedding dress, there's something wrong with the wedding dress. Also Elena and the whole thing about being able to get drunk faster now cos she's human and then the upbeat pros of being human when conversing with Alaric. "It's like feeling alive." Or something along those lines. Which came back to bite her when she's hurt at the end when Kai let loose his witchy powers, cos yes it's all about her again. Clearly she can't stay here if she's going to get hurt at the first sign of trouble, so like Jeremy she'll have to leave too.
Damon seemed to change his mind about becoming human, cos let's face it, brother Stefan will be there through thick and thin, but girlfriends/partners/wives will come and go, is it worth giving all that up and rotting away the first sign someone comes along and finds him. Cos he clearly couldn't tell Stefan where he'd be if someone came looking for him. Also Damon your timing sucks, they haven't even solved the entire mother problem yet, who's to say mommy wouldn't be the one coming after him either. She doesn't see her own blood family as family! Damon managed to still look good all alone as a human in front of the TV!
