Meredith (Torrey DeVitto) tests Alaric (Matt Davis) to see if she can find something to explain his behaviour and if she can medically treat him. Elena (Nina Dobrev) asks when she suspected him. It was after she saw his ring and her grandmother had told her about Samantha Gilbert. Meredith doesn't like seeing someone get hurt by something they have no control over. She wants to help Alaric, who sees his alter ego appearing like Jekyll and Hyde. Everything's normal with him physically and he still denies the killings. He thinks he's gone insane like Samantha.
Elena calls Bonnie (Kat Graham) to see if she has a spell which can reverse the damage, since the ring was made by the Bennett witches. Alaric doesn't want to wear the ring anymore.
Damon (Ian Somerhalder) asks about Alaric ditching the "house of horrors" and whether he should bring chicken soup. Elena talks about Stefan's (Paul Wesley) vampire pub crawl. Damon confesses he made Stefan drink, "We're predators, not puppies." Stefan needs to learn control. Elena claims he was fine when he was drinking Elena's blood everyday and Damon didn't have any right to teach Stefan self-control. Yes he does, they're brothers.
Caroline (Candice Accola) brings blood and the hospital was having a blood drive. B+ being her fave. Bonnie made Abby (Persia White) a daylight ring. She's still adjusting to becoming a vampire. Abby is upset and angry she doesn't feel anything when she touches the plants. Bonnie explains a witch's connection is to the earth and they can feel nature. Abby's lost her connection.
Damon knows Rebekah (Claire Holt) is up to something and comments the world can't stop because, "You're an accidental serial killer." Carol (Susan Walters) complains about Alaric not bringing the restored sign for the bridge. Sage (Cassidy Freeman) is in town. Damon was her fave student and she's his fave teacher. Oh enough with the false flattery, you can tell Sage is up to something. She's here to see Finn who went in search of her. Sage hates the "elitest original bitch," referring to Rebekah.
Elena drops by the house in search of Samantha's book and bumps into Stefan. That was awkward. She doesn't have to read the book as he can tell her what happened. Samantha bled to death on the cell floor trying to give herself a labotomy. Thus Elena can't help Alaric.
Finn was Sage's true love and he turned her. Damon comments on his "hate sex" with Rebekah and Sage claims she can help him by getting inside her head to find out what she's thinking. She's still a girl and can exploit her weakness. Damon thinks Sage is sexy when she's bitchy. Damon attempts to seduce Rebekah.
Jamie (Robert Ri'chard) refuses to see Abby since he's afraid of her. Caroline tells him she connects to people she loves and she won't let herself die for them. Alaric looks through his restraining orders and was stupid when he was younger. He needed to find a way to deal with his darkside and became a vampire hunter. He slayed Logan Fell, Meredith's cousin. He even tried to stake Damon once, who ended up killing Alaric. Stefan comments on Damon and his blonde binge and wants to be left out of it next time. Damon: "Own it, live it, love it." In reference to the vampires that they are. He mentions the "Sage/Rebekah sex sandwich."
Jamie wants to be there for Abby who has an uncontrollable urge to bite him and does just that. Rebekah has a fear of being left alone like her brother, Klaus and she comes to the party. Damon tells Sage Finn's gone and he tells Rebekah he wants her, not Sage. Damon dancing with Sage was hilarious, for some reason.
Abby decides to leave and will end up hurting Bonnie if she does. Alaric gives important info to Elena and Jeremy (Steven R McQueen), such as his bank details, will etc. She's confident Bonnie can reverse the effects of the ring with a spell. She needs a personal effect before he wore the ring. Alaric thinks of his wedding ring. Sage shows Damon what Rebekah is planning, she's searching for the oak tree. It took them getting naked in the shower for this. Damon looks through the family business records, as we get more shirtleess action from him! Stefan found out more on Samantha, that Alaric can still be violent without the ring. So after this discovery, no one thought to call Meredith and warn her.
In 1912, the Salvatore's chopped down the forest and used all the wood for the bridge. This is a weapon and Sage thinks Damon can use it on Finn, so it's a problem for her. Damon burns the records. He promises to leave Finn alone if Sage helps him kill Rebekah.
Stefan tries to make Elena realize it's not her responsibilty to save everyone. He finds photos of Alaric's Vics. Sage is gone. Alaric has a file on Jeremy with a note wanting him to take over from him as far as the killings go. He asks Meredith if she feels remorse? The council is ignoring their responsibilities and attacks her. Rebekah burns all the wood from the bridge, but then you get all that ash from it. What did she do with the ash which can still be used for something? Damon's plans go awry as usual. Sage knows about the originals being linked and she got inside his head too. Damon will end her and he'll start with Finn when he finds him. Yeah he forgot the sign as did everyone else since there had to be a reason why Carol mentioned it.
Elena reaches home and lies about not finding Alaric's ring. Stefan helps with Meredith and feeds her his blood - it's only fair as she does that to other people.
Damon looks after Alaric and makes sure Bonnie's spell doesn't turn him into a toad. The darkness got hold of Alaric's psyche everytime he died. Bonnie has herbs for Alaric to take everyday. He let the darkside take him over. Elena and Bonnie hug and Abby leaves. Caroline tries to talk her out of it as she can help her be a vampire but not how to be a parent. She has an eternity to make up for leaving Bonnie, but she chooses to go again. Caroline: "No one is better off without their parents."
Elena rings Jeremy as she misses him. The song played here was appropriate, Rosi Golan's Can't Go Back. Damon, forever the philanthropist, as he calls himself, locates the sign which is made from white oak. Stefan realizes they have a weapon. Damon: "Game's back on brother, let's go kill some originals."
Yes let's and by that I mean it won't be Klaus or Rebekah who willl get killed. Maybe one of the 'extra' originals, like Finn or Kol. Since Klaus and even Rebekah (dare I say it) have picked up quite a fan following. Many have also clamoured for Damon/Rebekah 'sharing the love' to continue - cos it's that whole love/hate deal going down! People think they have good chemistry together, but I said Damon would have good chemistry with anyone! Okay moving on.
Finally Alaric gets a story he can sink his teeth into, not being a vampire though the imagery still somehow seems relevant. Maybe should have used the phrase, 'dig his daggers into' instead of teeth. It was interesting seeing him with his alter ego making an impromptu appearance when he was being tested in the opening. He transforms into Mr Hyde right before our eyes, like being on one of those (not so) scary movies. As for Bonnie's herbs will they prove to be a help or a hindrance and has her spell really done anything for him? Especially since she wasn't shown actually casting the spell.
Bonnie faces her own problems with Abby and her transition, who chooses to run for a second time. The first time was to protect Bonnie and now she's also got Jamie to think of. But if Abby really leaves she'll just leave a trail of Vics wherever she goes. Caroline won't be around to help her.
Alaric recalls trying to stake Damon and it's fun to see their scenes together, as it's Damon who comes to get him out of hospital and then it's Damon who's roped into watching him under house arrest. Have to say not liking Sage one little bit and her betrayal of Damon just to protect Finn who was all ready to help his mother with the ritual to kill his siblings. Can't believe Damon didn't see her reading him coming as he just blatantly trusted her.
Vampires can read people, but why can't Damon do that too? Let alone remember she would do that to him. So much for him keeping the fact 'to kill one original is to kill them all' to himself. So Damon should have been able to read Rebekah, no? Elena in the past has mentioned Damon isn't able to get into peoples' heads but in the Rose episode, Damon got into her head. Damon has also gotten into Elena's mind in the past.
Stefan smelling Meredith's blood but only after he knocked out Alaric. Then almost changing into his vampire face in front of Elena who must now realize how difficult it is for Stefan to exercise control. Elena finds that newspaper in Alaric's drawer about Brian being murdered, in the sub-heading the word 'found' is spelt incorrectly as 'fouund.'
