As they show Matt (Zach Roerig) coming home with Tyler's (Michael Trevino) coffin, the others get calls from him informing them of Tyler. Meeting up for his funeral eventually. Bonnie (Kat Graham) is sorry she can't be there as she has to help Enzo (Michael Malarkey) and Alaric (Matt Davis) now writes entries in the diary for Elena. He's sorry he doesn't have anything good to say. Alaric uses the tuning fork but not for long, the number of times they showed it, it was apparent it was going to go walk-a-by. Especially since they still had it at The Armoury and didn't even secure it. Pity Alaric didn't tell his intern or whatever, Dorian (Demetrius Bridges) to lock it up when he's done with it. There's no sign of Georgie and Alaric wants to know if he's seen her. He also wants to test the frequencies of the fork and anything else he can do. Yeah typical guy can't multi-task. Alaric uses it on Sybil (Nathalie Kelley) again but she's no help as he tells her he's got a cell ready for the second siren. Ah once again more mistakes and oversights, they use their powerful voices for bad and again they have her in a glass cell so she can easily break the glass and escape.
At the funeral they find four graves have been dug and Damon (Ian Somerhalder) showing up, no surprises for guessing, well knowing, he'd be there. He wants to end it all for them and Stefan (Paul Wesley) breaks the shovel with Damon asking if he's got intentions of staking him. Well at this point in time, staking would be too good for him and pointless. He's not remorseful obviously and he high tails it over to Matt and threatens to turn him into a vampire as he's the only surviving human boy left in Mystic Falls. As he makes him drink his blood or at least tries too, whilst having a stronghold on him. Caroline (Candice King) tells him nobody wants him here and he reminds her of how rich that is coming from her, considering the number of people she's killed when she flipped her switch. He then leaves. Yeah Damon run away.
Seline (Kristen Gutoskie) takes the girls to the carnival and uses her siren power to get the man to give them a dead goldfish so they can go home and bury it. How macabre a nanny is Seline. Obviously cos she's a siren and not a nanny. Sorry that wasn't meant to sound like a rhetorical one-sided joke! As she takes them to the cave where she says she's going to bring back Cade. However she gets them to use their magic and burn the DB under the tarpaulin. Who won't exactly be Cade. Damon makes an impromptu visit to Sybil and she can see his humanity is getting the better of him. He feels once more and that's not good. She tells him he should just go be with Stefan and turn off his switch if that's what he wants and a lifetime of unhappiness and death finally. Sybil says she wants him, all of him (doesn't everyone? ha) he should just give over to the dark side and what's waiting for him there, i.e Cade. Yeah an eternity with him in hell.
The police call and tell him Georgie's been found being the DB that Seline burned. But is she really gone even they show her tattoo just for clarity. Matt gets a delivery from the Armoury which is actually from Tyler telling him if anything happened to him then he needs to help him now, he was looking for Selina and there are notes and sketches and photos of her in the box. He hasn't met her yet but of course by ep's end, we know he'll find out who she is. Good help is so hard to find these days. Matt tells his father (Joel Gretsch) he's lost everyone and he's used to it from an early age and he replies he had that coming. [Said after being Agent Afloat from NCIS should've said that last ep!] He tells him the story of Virginia St John and how Tyler was helping her, Enzo's relation from last season who told him about Selina and the siren being released back in 1883.
Damon decides he wants to end it all and meets with Stefan at the carnival, oh great, let's all hang out there but Stefan decides he's going to take Damon down. Yeah that'll wok. Caroline wants to come with him but he doesn't let her and since when will that stop her. Damon isn't going to change and just wants everyone to stop trying to help him. Even though he did say he needs his help. That's nothing new and it's tiresome coming back to the same old story about how Damon is no good, always was and will be. Also that Elena won't forgive him for what he did. Stefan tries to shoot him with the vervain but he catches it and tells him this is where it ends for them. Until Caroline shoots him in the back with vervain (short of backstabbing him! ha.) Obviously those chains won't hold him since that's the first place Sybil will head, being in his head still, she knew where he'd be.
Bonnie tries to get Enzo to flip his switch but he's not buying any of it and knows about Tyler. She asks Caroline how she came back and it was all about guilt for her. What her mother would think of her and what she's done. The thing she feared the most. She thinks with Enzo that's fire as she's used the 'flame of imprisonment' from the Armoury to keep him in the cabin. She burns it down and tells him she'll be the first one who dies tying to save him. She'll never leave him. On it went until she passes out and he carries her out by switching on his humanity but returns to the cabin to end it all for himself too. Sheesh doesn't all this ending ti all business ever stop.
She tells him she'll never leave him some more times and then heads back into the cabin but he brings her out after she burns her hand putting out the flame. Cue kissing. What does this mean for her, will he get her witchy powers back?
They turn up at the carnival too as Stefan thinks they should say a proper farewell to Tyler, which again was nothing new, just saying what each one thought of him and his bravery and resilience to fight and come back again. With Caroline saying she loved him and they all did. Stefan wanted them here cos he was on the ferris wheel with Elena and they had good times here. Reminding them they have to take every moment as that's all they have, just moments. So they ride on the bumper cars and Caroline shoots some balloons. She's going to be his wife so of course she'd be there for him.
Caroline's glad Matt's back and she shows him photos of the girls and Selina too. He tells her they need to get home and find Selina and the girls gone. And so coming home was a mistake, for all concerned, Tyler, Matt, as it led to nothing but misery for them. Of course we weren't going to get Damon stuck in that prison termed time immemorial forever (sorry one of my lines from something else I wrote) it is the final season after all and we couldn't let Damon 'Damn' Hot be missing from several eps. Besides as said, Sybil isn't done with him yet. Some choice quotes in this ep and Alaric welcoming Sybil to her psychic hell. Alaric also saying Tyler was the last of the Lockwood's and to Seline of all people!
Once again the title is taken from a previous ep 1.9 History Repeating (which is exactly what it did in this ep) when Stefan said it to Elena. Also in this ep, Damon revealed to Stefan why he actually returned to Mystic Falls, to get Katherine back (a little like waiting around to get Elena back.) So once again a bit of an overlap in that he's here again for some reason Sybil will eventually implant in his mind which will no doubt concern Seline. Also that episode had plenty of Stefan/Damon bonding of sorts with Damon trying to show a different side of himself, less menacing and even offering to stay off eating people and just sucking on the feathered variety of animals. Here he told Stefan he can't live off bunny rabbits, that's just not him. Maybe need to go back and watch season 1 over again. Well at least they had the Gas 'n' Sip reference in season 1 relevant here as was also featured in Supernatural. Yay remnants of an almost cross over! Ha.
