Elena (Nina Dobrev) reads John Gilbert's (David Anders) journal and Jonathan (Joe Knezevich) in a flashback says he can prove there aren't any vampires with the use of a compass, but it begins to whir. Can't run from a vampire and he is killed by Stefan (Paul Wesley) who else. Tyler (Michael Trevino) ran away from home. Damon (Ian Somerhalder) has a dagger to kill Elijah (Daniel Gillies) and tells Stefan he's got a murder to plan. Damon: "Yes Stefan I've become you, how tragic for all of us." Alaric (Matt Davis) turns up at Jenna's (Sarah Canning) tour of the property with Elijah. She's on one of Elena's list of loved ones to protect. Elijah comments he doesn't go after younger women.
Bonnie (Kat Graham) needs practice with her magic and tells Luka (Bryton McClure) everything is normal when he says she did something to him, but he doesn't believe her. Elena has agreed to sacrifice herself for Klaus and Stefan disagrees. Jonathan wrote things which Stefan hasn't told her. He didn't know about Jonathan's journal and that he'd survive, Stefan calls himself a monster. After becoming a vampire, he went to the darkest place. Flash to Stefan's past blood fests and Damon gets rid of Stefan's female company. Damon wants to stay alive and clever like Katherine. He's had it with Stefan and is leaving town, leaving Stefan to kill himself. Elena: "Sounds like you were Damon." Stefan was much worse.
Alaric leaves Jenna with Elijah. Andie (Dawn Olivieri) wants to help with the dinner party. Damon will host and Jenna agrees. Damon feeds Katherine, "You're almost pretty again." John's back in town and told him how to kill an original. Katherine asks him if he told him whether it was true or not. She doesn't want Damon to kill Elijah or she'll be compelled to stay in the dungeon forever. Can be killed with a dagger and white oak ash. Damon doesn't want to help her out. Katherine's confirmed it's possible to kill an original, which Damon will.
Stefan only knew how to "hunt, prey or kill." Had an endless blood supply during the war. He met Lexi (Arielle Kebbel) then and didn't know about the vampire massacre. Lexi calls him a ripper. There are good and bad parts to being a vampire and Stefan is bad. Alaric is hiding things from Jenna and John's telling her things she doesn't want to hear. Alaric doesn't want anything to hurt Jenna and he makes this clear to Damon, like he'd listen or care. Elijah's stronger and faster than Damon so he needs the element of surprise. John arrives to the party, he invited himself.
Bonnie tells Elena everything about her and Jeremy and she might not like hanging out together. Elijah says he and Elena have a deal and if he crosses him will kill everyone. Jenna lets it be known that Damon's family isn't a founder family of Mystic Falls. Damon wonders why Elijah wants to know the location of the witch massacres. Jonathan researched the originals and has a sketch of the dagger. The oak was burned and the ash was saved and the dagger was forged by the ashes. "It must be brandished by humans alone or it will bring death to all who wield it." John wants Damon to use it. (This was shown in 3.9 when Elena uses it to kill Mikael.)
John told Jenna Alaric wasn't being honest about his dead wife and wants his ring back. Stefan calls Alaric. Elijah didn't tell Damon why the site is important and Alaric interrupts, he forgets about dessert, writing Damon a note, 'Dagger will kill you if you use it.' That's something John was being sneaky about. Elena hates him so there's no need to keep him on Elena's list. Alaric stabs Elijah. Stefan wants to ensure Elena keeps her life and she's giving up, but she shouldn't like Lexi didn't let him give up either. Lexi tells Stefan to let the pain back in, "When you can hurt, you can love." Everything's intense as a vampire and he wants Elena to fight for survival (repeated again in season 3.)
Alaric is Damon's friend and he doesn't have any, so he doesn't want anymore lies from him. Elena says it's forbidden for one vampire to kill another so both died. Bonnie tries to channel Jeremy. Klaus has Luca's sister and Jonas (Randy J Goodwin) wants to get her back. Jonas tries to kill Bonnie and takes her powers. At the cabin, Elijah can't come in so he'll wait. Elena wants to negotiate and threatens to kill herself but he'll heal her and she'll become a vampire like Katherine. How will he heal her if he can't come in and get to her body. She makes him promise not to harm anyone she loves. Elijah doesn't so she stabs herself and when he finally agrees, she stabs him.
Damon tells her not to pull the dagger out of Elijah. Jenna asks about Isobel. Alaric isn't honest with her cos he doesn't answer when she asks. John can put her right about Isobel if he wants and returns his ring. He'll need it more than Alaric after what he did to Damon. Damon takes the moonstone from Elijah's pocket but why leave him lying around in the cellar? Elena wants things done her way now. Does Stefan recall Lexi and has a flash to her?: 'His hate will get to him'. Katherine got out as she knew Damon would kill Elijah if she begged him not to and when originals die, the compulsion is released. Originals can compel vampires and Katherine agrees to help Damon.
Elijah gets stabbed not once but twice, first by Elena and then Alaric all in the same episode. He'll return since no one stays dead in this show - not for long and only if they're absolutely not coming back. Sometimes this stabbing frenzy goes a bit over the top but it would be Alaric to stab Elijah with the dagger, cos he's human and John keeping this from Damon - that a vampire who kills a vampire also dies, John sees it as a way to get rid of Damon. No can't do that. Alaric mentioning he's the only friend Damon has and he'll say this again next season, so it was fitting to see him save Damon and write him a note. The fact that he actually read it was another matter.
John turned up at the party not only to cause trouble for Damon, but for Alaric with Jenna. Why didn't Damon just throw John out and why the need for him to cause friction between Alaric and Jenna? It's up to Alaric to tell Jenna about Isobel (or not) as and when he wants. Isobel being mentioned can only mean she'll turn up soon enough, as does anyone who is remembered. Stefan's turn to convince Elena to fight, as Lexi did for him and again lots of this will be repeated next season. Why did Alaric give the ring back to John? In this town it's needed, considering Damon didn't exact any sort of revenge on him.
Also knew Katherine was playing Damon when she said he can't kill Elijah or she'll never be free of his compulsion. She also didn't tell him about the dagger or didn't she know, cos Stefan didn't know either until Elena read it in the journal. Only now she's free does she agree to help Damon. Feels like Damon would rather be rid of her. Yet another plan falls by the wayside, or so it seemed to, but Elijah was put down...for now.
Lexi was known as Alexia Branson when Stefan meets her. Alaric: "You said there wasn't going to be any violence."
Damon: "Said the guy who did all the killing." Damon telling Elijah about the lion, the witch and the wardrobe when he said he needed to find the burial ground, along with the doppelganger and the moonstone.
