The Vampire Diaries

Previously on "The Vampire Diaries"...

Whatever's inside that vault...

Wants out.

And you have to promise me

you won't let Alex

set it free.

I promise.

Bonnie, please!

No one's getting out.

When she wakes, she'll be just like me--

full of hatred for you and your kind.

You need to get as far away from her as you can.

Do you love him?

I don't know.

Can you love someone

and leave them behind,

right when you need each other the most?

I'm still mad at you.

You put me, quite literally, through hell,

and I'm not ready to let that go yet.

But don't think I'm not noticing

all the good you've been doing lately.

Bonnie's life is linked to that

of the final everlasting. If we sever the link,

it might also sever the curse.

Unfortunately for us,

the everlasting resides in the armory.

The evil in the basement

escaped from its vault and could be anywhere.

We're gonna open the place back up.

You haven't heard from him?

Nope.

Which means, to absolutely no one's surprise,

Donovan failed and now Bonnie's huntressing in the wild.

All right, well, where is she now?

Coming after one of us.

Where else?

Weren't you meant to be on a plane?

Flights got cancelled because of the storm.

Where are you?

I'm in solution land, baby.

There's a preserved body at the armory

called "the final everlasting."

All we have to do is destroy that,

bonster is a monster no more.

But if you kill the everlasting,

Bonnie dies.

And so do we, for that matter.

I've been told differently.

By who? Someone that wants you dead?

A descendent of the people who created Rayna Cruz.

Yeah, the people who hate us.

Well, whether we believe them or not,

it's Bonnie's only chance.

Look...

Best case scenario, we destroy it,

everything goes back to normal.

Worst case scenario...

We all die and Stefan lives to tell the tale

of our demise to the lovely Elena.

Are you forgetting about the other problem that's in there?

Oh, you mean the ambiguously terrifying

monster from the vault?

I'm on it.

Perhaps once it's less ambiguous,

it will be less terrifying.

Guys, it doesn't matter.

Bonnie sealed the whole armory.

You can't get in.

Don't tell me what I can't do.

I can't get in.

Plan b.

Stefan, call your ex.

Obviously, not the one next to you.

Valerie.

She can siphon the seal.

That's great,

but I have absolutely no idea where to find her.

There is a third option.

And let me just tell you, it is just adorable.

The cutest little plan c's

you've ever seen.

No!

Absolutely not.

All they have to do is walk up to the door

and put their tiny little siphon hands on it...

No, my kids are staying out of this, Damon.

It's for Bonnie!

No, it's for us.

So that we don't have to run anymore.

And that is not a good enough excuse

to involve my children in this mess.

You know these scars that we have link her to us, huh?

She can probably hear what

we're saying right now.

We'll find Valerie.

Whatever, bro.

So what's it like when you see them?

I get snippets of conversations.

Some visuals.

But mostly, i can feel them.

Their emotions.

They're scared.

And they should be.

The urges are getting stronger.

I can feel it taking over.

I don't want to hurt them.

Then untie me.

Let me help you, okay?

I can stop you.

I know in my heart that I should.

Sorry, Matt.

My name's Enzo.

Bonnie's friend.

She didn't listen, did she?

After everything I said,

she still opened the vault?

It's complicated.

If that thing's allowed to get out in the world, we're--

that's why I'm here.

We need to know exactly what we're dealing with,

so we can fight it.

You can't fight it.

You can't kill it.

It's been alive for thousands of years.

Don't be scared, love.

Now tell me what it is.

Then Lizzie had three cookies,

and I only had two.

Two and a half.

Wow.

This sure is a lot of cookie talk for 8:00 in the morning.

Yeah, well, the girls wanted cookies

and daddy needed something to take his mind off things.

So you stress baked?

There's got to be a more masculine way

you could say that.

I miss you, mommy.

I miss you, too, baby.

All right, wave good-bye, girls.

Bye. Bye.

Be safe.

They're three years old.

They shouldn't be involved in this world.

Not yet.

Lizzie siphoned me the other day.

The girls had their friend's birthday party,

and Lizzie took Josie's goodie bag.

I took it back from her and then she grabbed my arm.

She didn't mean to.

I just want them to have as normal a childhood

as possible.

It's your decision.

Period.

Thank you.

This doesn't let you off the hook, you know.

For the leaving or the kidnapping.

No? No.

Hmm.

Not even a... A little bit?

Nope. Not even a little bit.

I feel... a thaw.

There is definitely not a thaw.

Okay.

Bonnie?

I need you to drive faster.

Why? What happened?

I'm gaining on you.

Tell Stefan to drive faster

and don't stop.

How'd you catch up to us?

We have a police siren, okay?

It's been helpful.

Okay. We won't stop, I promise.

All units, we have a six-car pileup

on eastbound 60 at Franklin drive.

Injuries reported. Please respond.

Tell me we're not on 60.

We're on 60.

Oh, no.

I got this.

Stefan?

Why do I feel you getting closer?

All you have to do is let us drive by you, Bonnie.

I can't do that.

Yes, you can. No, she can't!

Come on...

I'm sorry.

No!

Let me guess: It's an ancient, tentacled evil

that will destroy our lives and the world as we know it.

Don't be ridiculous.

No tentacles.

Do I even want to know?

Will it deter you from going in?

Nope.

Then no, you don't.

Has anyone heard from Valerie?

Unnecessary.

Somebody has a plan.
