Bonnie (Kat Graham) goes around killing Enzo (Michael Malarkey) and Caroline (Candice King) when she wakes, but turns out it's just a dream as Damon (Ian Somerhalder) walks through the door, everyone is alive and well. He tells them about Rayna and the shaman disappeared before he could get answers. Also telling Enzo he doesn't know if the spell worked or not. He thinks maybe it's better if Bonnie doesn't wake up so she can't go through with the killing, or that perhaps she's fighting it by not waking up. They think if they can get inside her head that they can help her fight and get Bonnie's good side out. Caroline tells Alaric (Matt Davis) to go back for the girls so they'll have him there when they wake up cos Bonnie should see a friend when she wakes. Of course he reluctantly agrees cos he knows he will probably be leaving her behind with Stefan (Paul Wesley) around.
However he calls Damon saying he doesn't know what he's going to do and how to help Bonnie but that he went through his own hell when he was marked and lost years of his life, well three years. What he should've said was that he lost his love and his life with Caroline. Matt (Zach Roerig) gets a report that lights are on in the Salvatore house and he tells the deputy Penny's death was an accident.
Caroline wants to enter Bonnie's head but she'd rather Stefan not be around and still has issues about him abandoning her. As she enters her head, Bonnie's in class where Alaric teaches about vampires whether they're real or a myth and says they are real, as everyone practically starts having a bloodfest in the lecture theatre. Bonnie runs to her room to see Caroline there, who reminds her she's her friend and she should focus on the good parts of their life. Bonnie marks her and when Caroline gets out of her dream/head, the mark is real. Now she's one her list of hunts and so much for Caroline reassuring everyone she was her friend before she was a vampire.
Enzo thinks he should try and we see Bonnie as a cheerleader stake two vampires that used to bully her. Way to go Buffy, well you must've thought that when you saw that scene. Enzo tells her he wants her to recall the good times they had and how she hated him but learned to love him through their music, as he hands her the guitar. Yeah after Caroline was marked, way to go with the wooden guitar! She would rather die than be after her friends and they should just let her sleep and die she tells him. As she breaks the guitar and marks him too, well she's two for two now. Enzo tells Matt he should let them help Bonnie first before he throws them out of the house and reminds him of Penny. He lost her but Bonnie's not gone yet and he agrees to let them stay, though not in so many words.
Stefan vervains Caroline and takes her away and she isn't happy when she wakes, but she realizes why he did it and how he had to leave here and her and wasn't exactly living it up around the world, when he'd rather be with her. She leaves with Stefan and says goodbye to the girls and to Alaric and doesn't want to come home to them cos she'll just put them in danger. He tells her he loves her and she can't reply, but will call him when she can. Stefan says she's got to make up her mind about them cos they can't keep doing this and about where she wants to go, as if Maine and Nova Scotia are far enough.
Stefan also giving Damon an idea that if Bonnie's good side can't be reasoned with, then he should appeal to her bad side and enters her head. She finds herself at Elena's house and sees her shadow through the window, finding Damon lurking on the porch. Wonder how many times he's lurked there when he used to have that pinning for her, unrequited love I should say. He tells Bonnie she's not here and gives her the letter to read but she tears it up. He then says he recalls what he wrote and tells her, but she's in no mood to hear it, as he reminds her if she kills him then Elena won't forgive her, but she won't be around for Elena to deal with, he pulls out his heart and runs away. She gets up and will get Damon too. Calling him she knows he's in the woods and knows all his thoughts too, as she carves stakes out of wooden spoons, hmm, new craft could catch on! Ha. Matt tells Bonnie he can help her and she reminds him how she doesn't want to kill her friends and he should help her, but she wants Damon not only cos he killed his sister, but for everything else. Cos it's all about Damon!
Bonnie finds him and he tries to do everything he can to make her turn good including ending up at he stump where they had her memorial and reminding her how she died and came back. That he regrets saving her in Amsterdam and would've had Elena back and she replies Elena wouldn't have forgiven him for that. How she's been a witch, a gateway to the afterlife and that if she kills him she needs to forgive him first for everything he's done. As Matt shoots her with tranquilizers, which will only last eight hours. Unfortunately Bonnie escapes cos they were silly leaving her just handcuffed and not tied down, or rather chained, at least Alaric had the right idea! Er, they could've locked her up in their dungeon you know. Haven't seen that for ages!
Enzo returns and tells Damon there may be a way to help her cos he tracked down the shaman who told them about the Everlasting. But that's in the Armoury and Bonnie put a spell on the building to keep that thing in, which has killed and driven everyone crazy. Damon doesn't care, he's still going to open it, unleashing more evil for next season.
This ep was good as it marked a return to the earlier eps, where there's no need for any guests or newbie characters to be added cos we did just fine with the cast as is. Lots of heart wrenching moments and I think the best that we've seen Damon this season (except for when he selfishly decided to desiccate himself) when after everything he still yearns for forgiveness from Bonnie and still that forgiveness doesn't come. He genuinely believed she would kill him. Thought he would've laid a trap for her, like a hole to fall into like Rayna. Though the dream part at the beginning was a bit repetitious of Damon when he was in the phoenix stone and dreamt he had killed everyone watching over him. But as I said if she did die it would've let him see Elena sooner instead of later, but that wasn't going to happen. Instead he gives her an idea to kill him anyway. Matt too was also trusting of her when everyone told him she's not really the old Bonnie they knew. Look at Rayna's determination to kill and Bonnie was only in the early stages of wanting to hunt vampires, who strangely enough had to be her friends first.
Funny part where Damon made the comment about Matt being a good shot and he thinks better than Sheriff Forbes, thinking they could get in good together now cos he had a good rapport with her. Trying to say thanks in his own way. Matt saying he did for Bonnie as we already know, not that she was grateful.
