The Vampire Diaries

Previously on "The Vampire Diaries"...

He's dead.

No, no! I can't. I can't. I can't.

I can help you turn it off.

She's ruthless without her humanity.

The cure is the fastest way to get it back.

When Silas was buried by the witch Qetsiyah,

she left him with the cure.

She knew that he wanted to die,

be reunited with his one true love.

Free her from darkness!

Aaah!

Aaah!

No!

The triangle is complete.

The witches almost killed you.

What witches?

How did I get off the island?

What's the last thing you can remember?

Jeremy was trying to pry the cure out of Silas' hands.

Bonnie, there's something you need to know about Jeremy.

Hey, Jeremy.

You know, I was...

I was thinking about the last thing I said to you.

"We did it."

Totally lame last thing to say to someone.

That wasn't a good-bye, Jeremy. You...

you were supposed to come back with us.

Bonnie.

Jeremy.

Wake up.

How are you here?

Bonnie, wake up.

I don't understand.

Open your eyes.

Bonnie, open your eyes!

Oh, my God.

So what has it been, 8, 9 days?

About 8 or 9 days.

I don't know. I lost count.

We lost count of the consecutive days

in which Elena Gilbert has not killed anyone.

I'd say that's progress, brother.

So, what are we gonna do,

just throw the football around

for another 150 years

till Elena gets her humanity back?

Because I'm cool with that.

She doesn't want the cure.

She's gonna start killing people

if she knows we're still trying to get it for her.

All right.

We could always, uh, make her want it.

Yeah. How are you gonna make an emotionless vampire

want anything?

Get her to flip her humanity switch.

So, what are we gonna do?

Pull a Lexi, bombard her with emotions

till one of them sticks?

Yeah, and if that doesn't work,

then we go to plan "B"...

lock her up and keep her sidelined

until you and I figure out a plan "C."

And what happens when she gets slammed

with every emotion she's repressed since Jeremy died?

Well, then you, my friend,

will be right by her side

ready to help her through it.

Right, because you don't want to keep reliving history.

And when this is all over,

you're just gonna get out of her life.

Bingo.

All right. How do you want to do this?

Elijah, being human means a fresh start.

I can grow old and have a family

and fill my days with meaning,

knowing that each one matters.

Well, that was poetic.

Well, if you can provide us

with a more compelling reason

for wanting the cure, Klaus, please.

Silas can appear as anyone.

He got inside my thoughts,

convinced me I was dying.

He will torment me until I give him the cure.

And in doing so, he will break down

the wall to the other side.

So it doesn't trap him there when he dies.

He wants to reunite with his lost soul mate.

You, of all lovesick fools, should applaud his devotion.

He will open the floodgates

for every supernatural being that has ever died.

Including our dear brothers Kol and Finn.

We'll have our family back.

Please! You hated Kol.

And you kept Finn in a box for most of his life.

Elijah, please.

Your personal discomfort might not be sufficient reason

for putting the entire world in jeopardy, Klaus.

I think our sister deserves a shot at happiness.

Tell me you're joking.

Tell me you're not fating me to an eternity of torture.

I've made my decision.

When you're sick and dying

and you beg for my blood,

I will laugh in your face

and compel you to forget me.

Where's the cure?

Rebekah, it's no secret

that you are impulsive, emotional,

and at times morally questionable.

Prove to me

this isn't just another one of your whims,

that you know precisely

what you are giving up here.

Fine. Anything.

I want you to live a day as a human.

This day.

No vampire privileges... no strength,

no compulsion, no nothing.

If you succeed and still believe this is what you want...

The cure is yours.

You're gonna fail.

You should be locking yourself inside all day,

not shopping for prom.

Name me a more human experience than senior prom.

Death.

Why should I listen to you?

You don't even have your humanity.

You realize you won't even be able to compel yourself a date, right?

Yes, and last time I checked, you're living in my house

because I'm the only one that can tolerate you,

so you don't have to be so rude.

Then I'm going to come with you.

Yeah. I'll keep an eye on you

and make sure that you pass Elijah's test.

As soon as you down the cure, it'll be gone for good.

And no one will be able to use it on me.

What kind of dreams?

Usually I'm at his grave,

and...

All of a sudden, he appears to me.

Well, you never got to say good-bye, Bon.

You're grieving. That's normal.

When I woke up, the couch was on fire.

Oh.

I don't know if it's because I was emotional in my dream

or if Shane was right.

Without his help, I'll lose control of my magic.

No. It's because you need a night off from mourning.

And I'm gonna make sure that you have it.

Um, you look super hot, by the way.

Do you think?

Oh, yeah. Yeah?

Yeah. Matt and I are gonna have the sexiest date there.

You know what? I love friend prom.

And it's exactly what prom should be...

friends and memories.

Yes, it sucks that my boyfriend can't be here,

but the three of us are gonna have the night of our lives.

Hey, Bonnie. Heard you got your mind wiped.

That sucks. Pretty dress, Caroline.

I know. You helped me pick it out months ago

when we were friends,

before you tried to kill me.

I thought it looked familiar.

Can you press this for me?

I'll pick it up later.

Bonnie.

I don't need a babysitter.

Really?

Because the last time I saw you,

you snapped a waitress' spine.

It got you to stop your search for the cure, didn't it?

Yup. We're just here to make sure

you hold up your end of the deal.

Don't eat the prom queen.

May I?

No.

Wow. Would you look at that?

Aw. Beautiful dress.

Thank you.

I stole it.

Klaus?

Klaus!

Kla...

Hello. Did you not hear me?

Of course I heard you, Caroline.

I think the whole of Mystic Falls heard you.

I'm in no mood for company.

Well, I'm sorry that you're having personal issues,

but I have a real crisis on my hands.

Elena stole my prom dress.

I went to pick it up,

and the tailor said that somebody else already did.

And when I asked who, she said she couldn't remember.

Hello? The vervain is out of the town water supply.

She was compelled.

It is not funny.

I know. I know.
