Bonnie (Kat Graham) breaks the news to Caroline (Candice King) about Katherine and hell and says she'll need the bottle of champers more than her. As they set about thinking of a way to lure Katherine out and deal with her. Damon (Ian Somerhalder) thinks the best way possible will be for Stefan (Paul Wesley) and Caroline to get married since Stefan was her greatest love and she won't be able to resist. Hence the title and also the wedding will impact everyone's lives and not just their own. As Alaric (Matt Davis) brings in Dorian (Demetrius Bridges) to help with finding a weapon to destroy Katherine, they recall Cade's bone being part of his body and maybe they can use Katherine's bones to do the same, which are buried in the tomb. Where Damon takes Stefan to retrieve them. Bonnie and Caroline make wedding plans and she tells her she won't be there, with Stefan listening outside the door before he leaves with Damon.
Damon brings along his trademark bourbon and will make it into a bachelor party celebration and his last night of freedom as a single man. Also picking up Katherine's skull and mimicking her and pouring some booze down its mouth. Caroline gets an old cameo which she thinks is from Stefan with a card and 'something old' circled around it. Obviously it's not from Stefan, firstly he's not around and secondly he wouldn't give her something which clearly isn't his to give. Knew it was Katherine's.
Matt's father, Peter (Joel Gretsch) shows up in town with his mother, Kelly (Melinda Clarke) in tow, surprise, surprise it's Lady Heather from CSI! No, cos she's acting all rather suspicious and she picks this time to come back with him, shocking Matt (Zach Roerig) also. Then running into the loo to vomit blood! Obviously she's dead and no one knows it, cos no one bothered finding out exactly what had happened to her. Caroline's not so happy since Bonnie won't be there and neither will the twins. So she thinks her wedding won't be what she had dreamed it would. However Alaric brings them around cos Stefan called Valerie who placed a protection spell on them and she will have her flower girls. He's glad she's happy and she has her tiara placed on her Head, but before she can tell Alaric what she wants to say, he leaves. Later he kinda wallows when Dorian tells him about the way to end hell by using so much psychic energy that it'll implode, like the way they put out oil fires. However Alaric's not really listening as he recalls the time he came here with his first wife and wanted to kill Damon. He thought he killed her but she wanted to be turned.
Damon brings Stefan back cos he's a lightweight now he's human and takes Caroline for a final booze up too before she gets married and drinks a toast to her mother. Someone who hated Damon but then became good friends. Caroline wishes she was here and misses her. He welcomes Caroline to the Salvatore family and gaining another family member. Peter is attacked by Kelly on the way to the wedding, wanting the knife, but he's already given it to Stefan. Stefan wants to keep the knife and Damon says he'll keep him safe and if Katherine touches him he'll cut her into little pieces and feed her to the guests as the wedding buffet. He wants Stefan to be there at his wedding one day and Stefan hopes he can too cos he needs a best man and that Stefan's real hair will last by then. The band plays the Mystic Falls Founder's ball music at the Lockwood Mansion and Damon recalls how that was playing when Stefan and Katherine were together in the 1800's.
Bonnie and Enzo (Michael Malarkay) share a dance and he tells her how he'd have wanted their special day to be, with flowers and dancing. Also that Stefan Ripper is no longer and he was the one who killed him, not real Stefan, who is back now after she gave him the cure. She shouldn't hold it against him. Just as Caroline thinks she'll be walking down the aisle alone, Bonnie turns up and says she'll walk with her. Well she had to be there for the rest of the plot to pan out. Damon's compelled the wedding guests to show up, he had a lot there and he waits a long time asking if anyone wants to stop this, but nothing happens. Apart from Matt saying Peter should've been her by now. Stefan and Caroline haven't prepared any vows so Damon says they should just go for it. She recalls how they met at the prom and how she told him about one day he'd be happy and married. Kelly runs off to vomit again and Matt goes after her. Some guest must've thought the vows did that! Ha.
Damon dances with Bonnie and she turns around to share a quick twirl with Enzo. As Kelly turns up after leaving a gas tank in the fireplace of the house. As Bonnie takes the twins to the loo. Matt looks for Peter and finds him behind the bushes when his phone rings. Kelly turns up and complains of how no one liked her and they all drove her away she's happy to tell them what Katherine is planning even after Damon tries to torture it out of her cos anythings better than the torture, oblivion and pain inflicted by Katherine in hell. She plans on burning down Mystic Falls and Matt says Peter won't do it but then he has a sister, Vicky. Caroline rushes to get the twins out as the house explodes. Bonnie is trapped inside and the twins are siphoning her powers, as Enzo tells her she's got to show them what to do. She needs to save herself even if she believe she'll lose the connection with him. He believes she won't and that they will be together one day in peace. She has to show them what to do and she must live. He makes Bonnie promise she will live a full life. As the twins chant with Bonnie, the flames recede and burn out.
As they show Vicky walking to the bell and ringing it. Bonnie hears it too and Stefan is there to catch her as she faints. Everything falls into place for the final showdown with Katherine and also with Elena, just leaving us to see who will come out of all of this and survive and who, if anyone, won't. At least Caroline got her dream wedding, even if it wasn't under the best of circumstances. Hey all members of the Maxwell's in one ep, though not altogether.
Some choice lines from Damon, as always: "we throw the one party Katherine would never miss, who doesn't love a wedding?"
"We shove Stefan's happiness in her face, she won't be able to control herself." Ha, no wonder she wants to reign Hellfire on Mystic Falls, but then she always was destructive. However just thought she was around all this time in hell, so in some way, she must've always planned her revenge somehow. Also anticipating Damon and Stefan being brought to hell by Cade, who ultimately failed!
The title was said by Caroline in the Pilot episode, so they went right back to the beginning in the penultimate episode ever. As Caroline got the lowdown on Stefan between the third and fourth period, finding out he was a Gemini and his favourite colour is blue. Hmm, not purple (my fave) which was the colour at the wedding. Loved that purple carpet!! However loved how this pilot episode also had Bonnie telling Elena: "there's no way I'm psychic, but whatever I saw or think I saw, I have this feeling...that's just the beginning" Seems she was psychic all along, or at least had this power somewhere deep inside her. Which is what Dorian thinks they can use to destroy hell. If any one of the writers/producers recalled this, then some great continuity going on here! (Or maybe looked it up! ha.)
