The Vampire Diaries

Previously on "The Vampire Diaries...

- Where the hell are we? - 1994.

To get home, we'll harness the power of the ascendant.

: What about Bonnie?

: She sacrificed herself so I could come back.

She's all alone.

We miss you, Bonnie.

: I miss you guys.

I'm sorry I compelled away the memories.

We'll make new ones.

: I need you to promise me something.

When I'm gone, Caroline is gonna need you

to help her move on with her life.

Promise me that you will do that, Stefan.

I promise.

: In our coven's tradition,

the twins merge their strength.

The weaker one dies.

: I know I'm stronger than Liv,

so that means I will win if we merge.

One twin will absorb traits from the other.

Both of your souls will unite into a new being.

: Desimilus...

: Luke, don't!

Sanguinem generis finatus.

Luke is gone.

He merged with Kai. Kai won.

: You win some, you lose some except for me.

I always win.

Happy Birthday, Bonnie.

The Vampire Diaries - Season 06 - Episode 13 "The day I Tried To Live"

: Hey.

You want to... Ugh... Give me a hand, please?

Little busy here.

Ok. Fine. Then you are on decoration duty.

It's Bonnie's birthday.

I know what today is.

Then you know how she would have wanted us to spend it.

She would have wanted us to celebrate

by cooking her favorite foods,

watching her favorite movies.

So we're throwing a birthday party where the guest of honor never shows up.

That's not depressing.

Or we could celebrate you going to Art School.

Oh, wait. We can't

because I found your application in the garbage.

Why didn't you tell me that you were thinking

about going to Art School?

I'm not. The only class I'm passing is study hall.

They'll never let me in.

Jer, I've seen your portfolio.

- You're good. - Doesn't matter.

I'm not leaving without knowing if Bonnie's ok or not.

Mom, I'm not calling to check up on you, ok?

I'm just about to start making Bonnie's birthday cake

and want to make sure that your recipe called

for 3 eggs instead of 4, right?

All right. I'm just a phone call away in case you need any...

Bye.

Is it just me, or do her eyes follow you around the room?

Hmm.

It's definitely you.

I haven't seen Miss Cuddles in 12 years.

Well, that's the bear Bonnie sent back from 1994.

I guess she lost the original.

No. She didn't lose her.

I took her.

Yeah. When Bonnie and I were little,

we got in this huge fight,

so to get back at her, I bearnapped Miss Cuddles,

and then I didn't want my mom to come home and find out,

so then I buried her in the woods.

I even left some m&m's to mark the spot

where I left her,

but something must have eaten them.

Well, I'm pretty sure that Bonnie is over it by now.

Miss Cuddles isn't.

She's out there all alone like Bonnie.

You know what?

I'm gonna go find her.

You're gonna what?

Yeah. It's Bonnie's birthday.

Wait, wait. Hold on. Caroline, you've been

going through a lot lately.

Do you think that maybe you're just a little confused

about what you're actually upset about?

Yes, probably, but my mom's dying,

and my best friend is stuck in an alternate universe,

and her bear is in a hole in the woods,

and there's only one of those things

that I can do anything about.

Right.

Happy Birthday, Bon-Bon.

- Ahh. - Hi.

Ooh. You think we could sneak one before the party?

I think Caroline might fry us in the sun.

It's worth the risk.

- Mmm. - Mmm.

Come here.

You know, we never talked about the fact that you kissed me.

And you kissed me back?

- Yeah. - I know.

That's the whole point of kissing

so you don't have to talk about it.

Right. Well, I just wanted you to know that I'm good with that.

Yeah?

Yeah. We... we're good.

Really good. Ha.

Was this the talk?

Pretty much.

Perfect.

: Hello?

No. That's impossible because why would he...

He didn't. He's all merged,

he's packed, and his on his way to Portland!

: Ooh! Forgot how massive this house was.

Yum! Cupcakes!

Sorry. Am I interrupting something?

What are you doing here?

Funniest thing.

I need your help.

Why would we give a letter to Jo?

I haven't been able to find her using a locator spell,

and, you know, good on her

because under normal circumstances,

I'd super-jazzed to gouge out her belly button.

Why would we help you, Kai?

Well, in case you haven't figured it out by now,

I'm a sociopath.

I know. Shocker.

I like being a sociopath.

You know, I'm not burdened by things like guilt or love.

So then this merge happened with my brother Luke, and I won,

which was great, because I absorbed his ability to do magic,

but now I can't stop thinking about how Luke died,

how Liv's life is ruined.

For some horrible reason, I can't shake how badly I feel about it.

You feel bad?

Yeah. So when I absorbed Luke's magic,

I must have gotten some of his qualities or something

like empathy.

So I googled how to process emotional pain,

and they said if you write everything down

in a letter and burn it, you'll be healed.

So I started writing,

and this water literally started pooling in my eyes.

Has that ever happened to you, like... like water just... just oozing

out of my eyeballs like I'm some

alien creature excreting fluids.

- You mean you cried. - Yes.

And after that was done, I burned the letter, and the feelings...

Oop... were still there.

So I really feel strongly that Jo

needs to know how sorry I am

for destroying our family,

but let's face it, guys, all right?

I mean, Elena, you of all people

should be willing to look past the questionable things

that I've done to see that there's... there's good

somewhere in me.

You did it with Damon.

Ok. I think we're done here. Come on.

Actually, what if there's something

he can do for us in exchange?

So I'm guessing you didn't bring me out here

to watch you perv out on some co-ed.

It's not just some co-ed.

Meet the real Sarah Salvatore,

the hothouse flower Stefan's been keeping

secret all these years.

Why do you even care?

Because Damon thinks he killed Sarah,

and instead of absolving him,

Stefan's been using Damon's guilt to keep him in check.

Not very brotherly now, is it?

So I help you destroy some innocent girl or what?

You're gonna kill me?

Then go ahead and kill me.

I don't want to kill you, Matt.

I just want you to do a few simple tasks.

Screw you! I'm not gonna be your bitch

for the rest of my life.

I don't want to kill you,

but I will kill you.

Oh. Look at that.

Very brave.

I admire your tolerance for pain.

Does that run in your family?

Just wondering if your mother shares your pain threshold.

Took a drive down to south Carolina

to take a peek at mama Donovan.

Quite a dish, that one.

Good. Now that that's settled,

it's time for you to get to know Sarah Salvatore.

Sad attempt at iron welding.

: I tried to fix it.

I can't bring Bonnie back with this.

I thought you were the all-powerful leader

of the gemini coven now.

I destroyed this
