It's back to school or college in the case of Caroline (Candace Accola) and Elena (Nina Dobrev) as Bonnie (Kat Graham) sends them messages as to what she's doing over the Summer and now. Not that Elena would notice so much since she and Damon (Ian Somerhalder) are busy getting acquainted or reacquainted still blissful in their relationship together. As for Rebekah (Claire Holt) and Matt (Zach Roerig) well they're doing pretty much the same, no strings but we see them as a threesome. Cue Nadia (Olga Fonda) some woman who's stolen Matt's Gilbert ring and he doesn't really want to tell Elena. Elena thinks of Stefan (Paul Wesley) and is about to call him but changes her mind, deciding to take a dunk in the bath instead as we see Stefan underwater where he ended up at the end of last season in the safe. That's meant to be a reflection of what Elena is doing right now, drowning in the tub.
Stefan has a flashback to how Damon tells him to turn off his humanity so he doesn't have to suffer the pain but he doesn't want t do that. Jeremy (Steven R McQueen) needs to get back to school and so he and Elena come up with a story of how he was into drugs after losing his parents and aunt and so he set fire to the house and faked his own death. Elena thinks he should call the fire an accident. She leaves for college and the sheriff (Marguerite MacIntyre) helps them move. Bonnie walks beside them as a ghost and still doesn't want to tell them she's dead. When Jeremy tells her she's avoiding the inevitable and her father, Rudy (Rick Worthy) needs to know, she says she's sent him postcards.
Jeremy of course gets bullied on his first day back but being a hunter, he takes them on as the school watches. Katherine shows up and is miserable with Damon offering to turn her but she's taken the cure and doesn't know what will happen and if she'll return or not. She needs his help cos she's human now, has enemies and when they find out she's mortal they'll be afters her. It's hard running in heels and her feet have blisters. Damon looked like he was kind of drawn to her didn't he, in that "I used to love you once" kind of way. Also ironic Damon got the line about Elena going off to college and protesting about stuff she doesn't really care about. Cos we know Ian is as far removed from not caring about real causes as you can get!
Stefan shows up in town, or rather Silas as Stefan and bleeds the sheriff. He controls her mind and he explains about how he's immortal, very old and Stefan is his doppelganger and Stefan just looks like him. He doesn't want to be called a vampire. Elena and Caroline get a roommate, Megan (Hayley Kiyoko) and set up some guidelines. Strange how they rarely attended class at school and yet have arrived at Whitmore. Tyler is out helping some wolves so he needs to register. Caroline sets up some ground rules but she doesn't practice them and tries Megan's protein water cos she's taking too long in the shower. It's got vervain in it. Well she shouldn't have been too nosey! Yes Caroline is in college but will forever remain 18 but she hasn't really done much growing up in her time has she, ha.
Stefan stuck in the safe doing an angel impression! Elena is worried about him but is persuaded not to call him. He has flashbacks to Damon once again telling him to turn off his humanity but then Elena appears to him and says he shouldn't. That's what makes him special and who he is so he should leave his humanity on for her. Caroline and Elena can't get into the party cos they're not invited in but Megan goes ahead. Later Megan calls Elena for help and is thrown from the window. Caroline took her phone to delete Elena's voicemail and they find a photo of Megan with Elena's father. Elena says it's about her cos well, it's always about Elena.
Stefan appears to Damon in the bar but Damon can't see it's not him. Jeremy tells Damon he's really Silas cos he go that cold vibe off him and being a hunter he's there to kill Silas so recognizes him as such. Silas is after Katherine and tries to strangle her in Damon's bathtub (yeah where all the action takes place) but she cuts him with a razor and runs. Jeremy takes her away. Damon asks why Stefan can't use his vampire speed, he's a bit slow. Stefan/Silas explains nature made him into Stefan's form, his "shadow self" so he's Stefan's doppelganger. Damon replies "if I hear doppelganger one more time I'll have to learn how to spell it." Ugh enough with doppelgangers already, it wasn't enough that Katherine and Elena are such but now Stefan and Silas too. I'm with Damon, kind of getting boring having those around.
Damon makes Jeremy bring Katherine back but she crashes the car cos Jeremy appears to be useless at driving too! She gets away and Damon helps Jeremy. He doesn't tell Elena any of this though but she's not coming back until she's solved this. Tyler calls Caroline to basically dump her and he's not coming back. The mayor tells Matt to say hello to Bonnie if she calls. Matt spots Nadia and she gives him back the ring when he's attacked from behind by some man who whispers something in foreign tongue and Matt's eyes turn black. Oh great we're not going to have demon possessions now in Mystic Falls are we?
Silas invades the town and uses his psychic powers on everyone cos over the "Summer I have been consuming excessive amounts of blood." He kills the mayor and wants them all to hunt for Katherine. We have no idea what that's about but seems like another parent becomes a casualty in this town. Like Elena, it's about Katherine too all the time. Yawn.
Funny Damon didn't tell Elena he loves her back, ha. Also this is getting rather boring as it seems like the same old plots are alluded to over and over, first it was the vampires and the originals, now it's Silas come to take their place. Bonnie is useless as a ghost, Elena and Caroline and their boring college life, all they want to do is party, er, wasn't that already what they did back home! It's true, The Originals is far more exciting than this! Then there's Nadia who ether is a foe for Matt or someone he will go for seeing as they already had a menage a trois together.
Well we know what Silas did last Summer with his blood drinking but don't know much about anyone else, except Matt. This means Damon should have realized Stefan must be in the safe but curiously isn't searching for him.
