The Vampire Diaries

Previously on The Vampire Diaries:

For over a century, I have lived in secret. Until now.

I know the risk, but I have to know her.

Elena. A dead ringer for Katherine.

That necklace contains an herb called vervain.

It protects you from being compelled.

- Our love for Katherine wasn't real. - I'm gonna bring her back.

There's a tomb underneath the church. The spell sealed Katherine in that tomb.

- Hello, Jenna. - Logan.

- Who are you? - Friend of Jenna's.

Alaric Saltzman. I'm your new history teacher.

Grams just showed me this. I'm a witch.

- His face was like... - Are you okay?

- What's going on? - I'm gonna tell her the truth.

I know you think you brought this bad stuff into my life, but my life already had it.

- This is different. - I know what I want.

I've never been in your room before.

This room holds every memory important enough to hold onto.

Elena?

Elena, it's Stefan.

I know that this picture must've confused you.

But I can explain.

I need to explain.

So please, when you get this, call me.

How you doing in there?

- Damon. - You look stuck.

- It's my seat belt. I can't get it off. - Shh, shh, shh.

Let me get you out of here. I want you to put your hands on the roof.

Just like that. You ready?

One, two, three.

Gotcha.

You okay? Can you stand?

Is anything broken?

Whoa, you're fading fast, Elena.

Elena, look at me.

Focus. Look at me.

Okay.

- I look like her. - What?

Upsy-daisy.

I found one.

After years of research and study, there it was, right in front of me.

I was terrified.

As I stared it in the eyes, I drove a stake through its heart.

I was right about Mystic Falls.

There is evil here.

I can sense it, feel it.

It's everywhere.

Oh...

It's not even 7 yet.

Which means you shouldn't be awake for at least six hours.

I hate morning people.

I'm gonna be home late.

- I love you. - I love you too.

Morning.

- Where are we? - In Georgia.

Georgia?

No, no, no, we're not.

- Seriously, Damon, where are we? - Seriously, we're in Georgia.

- Ugh. - How you feeling?

L...

There's no broken bones. I checked.

My car. There was a man...

I hit a man.

But then he got up and... Who was that?

That's what I would like to know.

Where's my phone?

Okay, we really need to go back. Nobody knows where I am.

Pull over.

I mean it, Damon. Pull over.

Stop the car.

Oh, you were so much more fun when you were asleep.

Hey.

I'm fine.

We have to go back.

Oh, come on. Look, we've already come this far.

Why are you doing this?

I can't be in Georgia.

I wrecked my car. I have to go home.

This is kidnapping.

That's a little melodramatic, don't you think?

You're not funny.

You can't do this.

- I'm not going to Georgia. - You're in Georgia.

Without your magic little necklace, I might add.

I could very easily make you agreeable.

What are you trying to prove?

That's my phone.

It's your boyfriend.

I'll take it. Elena's phone.

Where is she? Why do you have her phone?

- Is she okay? - Elena?

No, she's right here.

- And, yes, she's fine. - Where are you? Let me speak to her.

He wants to talk to you.

Mm-mm.

Yeah, l... You know, I don't think she really wants to talk to you right now.

Damon, I swear to God, if you touch her...

You have a good day. Mm-hm. Bye, now.

Bastard.

Look, no one knows where I am. Can we please just go back?

We're almost there.

- Where is "there"? - A place outside of Atlanta.

Oh, come on, Elena, you don't wanna go back right now, do you?

What's the rush?

Time out.

Trust me, your problems are still gonna be there when you get home.

Look, step away from your life for five minutes.

Five minutes.

- Am I gonna be safe with you? - Yes.

Will you promise not to do that mind-control thing with me?

Yes.

Can I trust you?

Get in the car. Come on.

Hey, hey, Mr. Saltzman.

Hey, Jeremy. I, uh, can't find my ring. L...

I took it off for the gym and I thought I put it...

There it is. Phew.

Losing family heirlooms, bad.

- How's your extra credit? Pick a topic? - Uh, Mystic Falls, the Civil War era.

- What's the angle? - My family.

I found a journal of an ancestor who lived in the 1800s.

And the Gilberts were one of the original founding families of Mystic Falls, so...

That sounds good.

- Bonnie. - Stefan.

- Hey. - Hi.

I, uh, haven't seen you lately.

How are you doing with everything?

I'm fine. All's fine.

- Good. - Yeah.

- Are you back in school? - No, actually I came here to find you.

I was hoping you could help me with something. A spell.

Stefan, look, I know Elena is okay with all of this...

...and I appreciate what you did to help me, but I'm not ready to dive into it yet.

I understand that, but I need your help.

It's Elena. She's with Damon.

I have Elena's necklace.

I was hoping you can use this to make some connection.

- I need to know she's okay. - How do you know I can do this?

I've known a few witches. I've seen what they can do.

- I'm still new at it. - It's okay.

Give it a shot.

Okay.

All right.

There's nothing.

Nothing's happening. Usually, there's an image or...

- Tell me if anyone's looking. - Okay.

- What is it? - Something's wrong.

- With Elena? - With me.

There's something wrong with me.

I have to go.

I'm sorry, Stefan. I can't help you.

- So where's my car? - Uh, I pulled it off to the side of the road.

I don't think anyone will bother it.

What about that man in the road?

- Was he a? - From what I could tell, yeah.

You didn't know him?

If I've never met him, I wouldn't know him.

I mean, it's not like we all hang out together at the Vamp Bar and Grill.

Where are we You brought me to a bar?

I'm not old enough. They're not gonna let me in.

Sure they will.

No. No, it can't be.

Damon?

Aw...

My honey pie.

- Mm. - Mm.

Listen up, everybody.

Here's to the man that broke my heart, crushed my soul, destroyed my life...

...and ruined any and all chances of happiness.

Drink up.

Whoo.

So how'd he rope you in?

I'm not roped in. Actually, I'm dating his...

Oh, honey, if you're not roped, you're whipped.

- Either way, just enjoy the ride. - Okay.

- So how did you two meet? - Ha, ha. College.

You went to college?

I've been on a college campus, yes.

About 20 years ago, when I was a sweet young freshman...

...I met this beautiful man and I fell in love.

And then he told me about his little secret...

...made me love him even more.

I had a little secret of my own that I was dying to share with somebody.

She's a witch.

- You changed my world, you know. - I rocked your world.

He is good in the sack, isn't he?

But mostly he's just, uh...

...a walk-away Joe.

So...

What is it that you want?

Oh, my God, I am so sorry.

There was this one book wedged

Kaplunk, kaboom.

Are you okay?

Yeah, yeah, I'm fine.

Okay.

Ow. Oh...

- Um, I'm Anna. - Uh, Jeremy.

Oh, thank God, you're back.

And hello to you too.
