Previously on
"the vampire diaries"...

The spell
the travelers cast
across mystic falls

Eliminates
spirit magic.

Aah! Uhh! Uhh!

The other side
is collapsing

And everyone in it
is going away.

What about you?
What happens?

Jeremy,
i'll be fine.

When the
travelers die,

Liv will do
the spell,

And her magic
will allow

The people on
the other side

To push their
way through.

Damon...

I know.

[screaming]

My god.
Alaric, what are you--

Come on.
You gotta go.

What about damon?
You need to go home
to your brother.

I'll find damon.

I can't find damon.
I'm not leaving
without him.

I won't let you die
for them.

Phasmatos fumas extas.

We need to start
the spell again.

We can't.
That was our one shot.

Damon's on the other side.

Elena. You can
say good-bye.

Damon finally had
everything he wanted.

He was happy.

He should be here.

It was all a lie.

You told me
you could come back.

I love you.

Bonnie, don't--

Elena: Please
don't leave me.

I love you, elena.
Bye.

Bonnie!

Do you think
it'll hurt?

I don't know.

[buzzing]

[music playing]

[whispering]
what the hell was that?

I have no idea.

Go out there
and check it out.

You go out there
and check it out.

Hey, i got
the lan--aah!

Oh, my god.
Sheriff forbes.

I thought you were
a serial killer.

Worse, actually,
because

You'll still be
alive when i call
your parents.

Pack it up
and strike it down.

I'm like, for real,
sheriff forbes?

You got nothing
better to do

Than to bust us
for a couple of
beer cans?

[scoffs]
tax money at work.

Girl: It could've
been worse.

Melanie peterson
was arrested for

Underage drinking
last week.

I swear this place
is turning into

That town
from "footloose."

Yeah, well, let's just
get out of here.

Jessie?

Yo, jessie.

Jessie.

Oh! Oh, jessie.

[garbled speech]
shh. Don't talk.

You'll be ok.
I'll get help.

Look. Up.

[boy screams]

[music playing]

Elena, voice-over:
Today was a good day.

Summer is officially over

And i couldn't be more thrilled.

Sophomore year.

I guess this is the year
you're supposed to pick a major

And start carving out
your path in life.

So, that's what i did.

You are look at the future
dr. Elena gilbert.

So. Pop quiz.

Mr. Weatherly complains of

Chest pain and shortness
of breath.

Can anyone tell me
what tests we run?

Gilbert.

Um...

A pulmonary
angiogram

Provides
a clear picture

Of the blood
flow in

The arteries
and the lungs,

Which is what
we look for

In a pulmonary
embolism,

A condition
in which

Mr. Weatherly's
symptoms
are common.

Good. Someone's read ahead.

Remember that.
You'll need that in 3 years.

Here's the bed pan you
need to know about today.

Moving on.

I was impressed.

Thanks.

Elena, voice-over: Ok, so,

Maybe i spent
the day observing.

But at least now we have
unlimited access

To blood bank,

And trust me, we need
all the help we can get.

Some of us are still
getting the hang of

The whole drinking other
people's blood thing.

Want some?

It's all right.
I had some
on the way over.

You know, this will
never not be weird.

What? That some
ancient witch

Turned me into
a vampire

Or that 4 months ago,
i rose from the dead?

That you're my
college professor.

Elena, voice-over:
In alaric's defense,

He couldn't exactly
compel himself

A job back at the high school.

Nope, the high school, grill,
the town square--

Thanks to the travelers'
anti-magic spell,

Everything in mystic falls

Still off-limits
to anyone with fangs.

A lot of us haven't been
back home in months.

On the plus side,
the crime rate is way down.

Although i'm not sure
matt got the memo.

Man: Good move, donovan.
Proving once again

That self-defense
is the best offense.

Elena, voice-over: I will say
he's never been better.

I think he can bench-press
more than jeremy now,

Which is beyond freaky.

Speaking of jeremy...

Actually, let's not
talk about my brother.

Let's talk about stefan.

Last i heard, he was
chasing some lead to some

Witch that could
contact the dead.

[man whistles]

Man: Hey.

Get your ass
in here, kid.

Payday.

Elena, voice-over: We haven't
spoken in months,

Which can only mean
that his search

For answers to what happened
has been all-consuming.

He's grieving.
He lost so much.

We all did.

But we're all getting
through it in our own way.

I dropped out of whitmore.

Why would i support
their stupid football team?

Elena: It's
the opening game of
the season, caroline.

Time to come home.

I am home.
I just signed the lease

To my new apartment.

On the border
of a town that
doesn't want you.

That's not home.
That's sad.

You don't even
like football.

No, but i like drinking
in the parking lot
beforehand.

Caroline,
you're coming.

Tyler, don't act like you
have any ground to stand on.

You skipped an entire year.

And you hounded me
for an entire year.

So, here i am.
Now, get your ass
back here.

Caroline, i'm picking
you up at your house

At 6 p.M. Sharp
tomorrow.

Ok? Bring your
school spirit. Bye.
[hangs up phone]

[sigh]

Anyway...

As i was saying.

I haven't exactly
found a spell

That can undo
an anti-magic
border per se,

But this book
mentions travelers,

Which isn't
that helpful,

But at least it's
a step in the right
direction.

Sweetheart.
Yeah?

You should go
with them tomorrow.

No. We're gonna
go see a movie.

We have
spent the entire
summer together.

[sigh] god.
You're sick of me.

Caroline, you just lost
one of your best friends.

It makes sense
that you want to

Hold on
to what's familiar,

But elena
lost her, too,

And she clearly
misses you.

No. Elena clearly

Has taken up
residency on
planet denial,

Where football
is more important
than her boyfriend

Being swept away
into oblivion.

Do you know
she's barely cried
for him?

She was a full-on
wreck over bonnie
for months,

But every time
i mention damon,

It's like nothing
ever happened.

Caroline, elena
has experienced
more grief

Than anyone
i've ever met.

You should cut her
some slack.
[cell phone buzzes]

What? Someone
trample over

Mr. Davis's
flower bed again?

Two kids
were admitted
to the hospital

With suspicious wounds
on their necks.

Vampire attacks? How?

Vampires can't
get into mystic falls.

No, but they can lurk
around the borders.

I gotta cut
lunch short.

I gotta take care
of this. Listen.

Consider elena's
offer, ok?

Mystic falls isn't
going anywhere.

Hey, don't forget
your basket.

Elena, voice-over:
She doesn't want to let go.

I get it.

I don't want to let go, either.

I don't want to think
that everything's changed,

That i have to start over.

The worst thing that could
possibly happen actually did.

But i don't have to.

Anyway, that was my day.
How was yours?

Can we go back
to the part where

Ric came back to life
to be a college professor?

[laughs]

"occult."

The word in its literal
translation means "hidden."

Therefore, the study
of the occult--

Therefore, the study
of the occult

Is the study of
hidden knowledge.

Today, we're going to discuss it
as it relates to resurrection.

Is there something funny, liv?

More like ironic,
but ok.

Oh, mr. Lockwood.

How generous of
the practice squad

To lend you to us.

Sorry i'm late.

Typically, not all
occult groups

Held a consensus
on the topic.

Sorry, princess.

Just trying to check
what page we're on.

Shh. I'm trying
to listen.

Alaric: ...Apostles, the
athanasian creeds tertullian,

And the western church
were inclined to believe

In resurrection of
the flesh, whereas

The gnostics held
the firm belief

That resurrection existed
only in a spiritual sense.

Elena, you know i can
smell that, right?

I'm teaching a class
full of kids

Who all look like
blood sausages to me.

Now, put that away.

Sorry.

Uh, whereas others,
like the early church fathers.

Luke. Hey.

Hey, i gotta
run, actually.

Oh, no, i'll be quick.
Really quick.

I just--i've been
really thirsty lately.

Do you think it's
because of the...
You know.

Are you asking me if
there are side effects

To the ancient
psychotropic herbs

I've been giving you,
because

There haven't exactly
been clinical trials.

Obviously.

I don't--i was just
wondering if maybe

You could, like,
i don't know--

Add something
to the next batch?

Yeah, or maybe
there shouldn't be
a next batch.

What do you mean?

Luke, it was
your idea

That i see him
again, remember?

You were all,
"hey, elena,

"i'm sorry that
i wronged you.

"i'm sorry that
i'm the reason

Your boyfriend
is dead," remember?

And i am.
I'm sorry.

Something i made clear

When i made alaric's
daytime bracelet,

Because you asked.

Yeah, i know.
And when i went against

My coven rules
to get these herbs,

Because you asked.
Right.

But it's time to
return to reality here.

Look, i'm fine.

I'm ok.
I promise.

Just come by
my place by 5, ok?

Elena.
Thank you.

Hey, dean.
I think a zero

Might've fallen off
my paycheck.

Oh, yeah.
I had to dock you
200 bucks.

For what?

Dan zimmer said
you put a ding

On the hood
of his shelby.

Dan's wife put a ding
on the hood of his shelby.

That's funny.
Sounds like you're

Calling my best
customer a liar.

You're ripping me
off, dean.

What you gonna do
about it, kid? Huh?

You gonna quit?
Run off to

Wherever the hell
you came from?

That's what
i thought.

[cell phone buzzes]

Hello?
Alaric: Hey.
Just checking in

To see if your contact
panned out yet.

Still working on it.

Alaric: Good.
Keep me posted.

Let me know
how it goes.

You already read
all that?

Cover to cover,
with no mention

On how to undo an
anti-magic force-field.

And if i'm going to
single-handedly
take back our town,

I'm gonna need a little
bit more to go on.

Got it.
All right, well,

I brought "ancient
witchcraft, volume two."

I read it.

How about
"the art of hexing"
and "elements of magic"?

Fine. Thank you.

So, how's stefan?

He's ok.

How often do you
talk to him?

I don't know.
Couple times a week.

Oh. Huh.

I'm gonna go out
on a limb here, caroline.

Is something
bothering you?

He didn't say good-bye.

Damon and bonnie died
and he just left.

No phone calls,
no e-mails,

Just disappeared
into thin air.

And i haven't heard
from him in months.

I actually convinced
myself that he was
in some

Remote mountain region
and couldn't accept
my calls.

Or maybe he just
doesn't want to bother you

With every half-lead
that goes nowhere.

Or maybe i just
need to get over it.

Thanks for the books.

Elena on phone:
Why isn't jeremy
answering his phone?

I don't know.
He's probably doing
homework or something.

Doing homework?

Put me on
speaker, please.

[beep]

Jeremy, i know
you can hear me.

Get your butt
off that couch

And do something
productive.

Or what?
You're gonna come here
and make me?

Or i'll have the
sheriff arrest you

And drag you
to the town border,

Where i will kick
your ass myself.

Matt, a little
help, please.

Yeah, i'll deal
with him.

Thank you.

[hangs up phone]
[sighs]

So. This is it, huh?

Video games.
Random girls.

Drunk by noon
every day.

Look, it sucks that
bonnie's dead, jer.

I get it.
But you need to start

Living your life again.

How? By joining
the community
protection squad?

What exactly are you
protecting us from?

Bike theft? Litter?

Magic doesn't work here.
The town's safe.

For now.
But caroline's

Working on a way
to reverse all that.

So, it's only a matter
of time before

We're dealing with
all the problems

That come along with
vampires again.

You're a hunter.
You have skills.

Use them.

No more magic
means i'm not
a hunter anymore.

[opens can]

Yeah, you're right, jer.

You're not much of
anything anymore.

Hey.

Hey. You're home.

I thought you were
coming over at 5.

I know you did.
Look, elena,

I can't
help you anymore.

Is it because i told you
that i was thirsty?

It's fine.
I can get more

At the blood bank
at the clinic.

I work there.
It's easy.

Elena, you're going

Through this stuff
like crazy.

Yeah.
I'm not
a drug pusher.

No, you're my friend.

My friend in spite
of the fact

That my boyfriend
got stuck on
the other side.

Elena, don't.

Because you decided

To stop the spell
that could
bring him back.

My friend
that owes me.

No. A friend who
cares about you

And thinks you're
living in denial.

I know you have more.
Elena, stop.

Where is it?

Look at you.

Where is it?

I need to see
damon, luke,

And i'm not asking.

I kind of want
to set up ric
[music playing]

With jo
from the hospital.

I mean, we both know
he has a soft spot

For the sexy
doctor type.

How long do you
think it takes after

Somebody comes back
to life before

They can start
dating again?

Well, the fact that
you can say that
with a straight face

Is one more reason
that i love you.

So, like, 3 months?

Can i ask why there's
not a bennett witch
in the back?

I mean, can't luke
whip up a batch of herbs

In bonnie flavor?

You know, if i
had to drive around

With everyone
that i've lost,

I'd need
a school bus.

Or you just know
that bonnie would
agree with luke.

The last thing you need
to do is conjure up

Someone who's gonna
tell you the truth.

Can we not talk
about this?

About what?
The fact that i'm dead?

I am.

Technically, you were
dead when we met.

Good point.
Now i'm just gone.

Damon, please don't
say that.

And this conversation
is pretty much

The smart,
level-headed you

Talking to the irrational
possible drug addict you.

[scoffs]

Which is clear evidence
of your insanity.

Yeah. Ok.

[turns up music]

[indistinct chatter]

Oh! Watch it, dick.

Whoa. Sorry.

Still working out
the kinks of
being human.

My tolerance blows.

Yeah, tyler, not
to play chaperone here,

But are you sure
somebody with your
anger issues

Should be drinking
at all this close
to a full moon?

My issues are
under control.

Coach lets me practice
with the football team.

I get to kick ass in
a controlled environment.

Till you get plastered
and do something stupid

And trigger
your werewolf curse
all over again.

Alaric, chill.
It's under control.

Good. But just in case.

Really?

You know,
i haven't been buzzed

Since i came back
to life.

And saying that aloud
while sober

Really freaks me out.

Ahem.

[chuckles]

As the only sober
person here, trust me

When i tell you
this, tyler--

That girl is so not
into you.

Thanks for the beer.

[women laughing]

Your fridge makes me
want to kill myself.

We're gonna have
to split this.

Knock yourself out.

So. You want
to grab dinner?

There's that crab
shack on the harbor

You want
to check out.

Uh, yeah, i would,

But, um, i told dean

I'd stop by
the garage later.

Yeah, never heard
that one before.

Hey, look,
no offense, ivy,
but, uh,

You're the one who
showed up to me today.

Hey, i'm not asking for
your hand in marriage.

Stefan, come on.

We've been hanging out
for two months now.

I don't know
anything about you
or your family.

Your friends you never
talk about call you

And you get all weird.

I get weird?

Yeah. You get weird.

So, we'll play a game.

You tell me
one thing about you

And i'll tell you
one thing about me.

Well, i already
know everything
about you.

You're from colorado.
You love dogs.

Your dad's a bit
of a pain in the ass,

But you graciously
let him pay your rent.

[laughs] ok. Fine.
Your turn.

Now tell me something
i don't know about you.

I'm a vampire.

You're so annoying.

Hey.

And i like you.

[indistinct chatter]

[music playing]

Thank god.
Someone over 20.

The rest of
the chaperones are

Huddled around
the burger bar.

And you're
a vegetarian.

I don't eat red meat.
I look at blood all day.

Because i work at
the medical center.

Not because i'm a serial
killer or anything.

I'm jo.

Alaric. I teach
occult studies here.

I didn't know that was
an actual thing.

Yeah.
Not that it's not a thing.

May i?

Uh, you know,
actually, i'm

A germaphobe.

A germaphobe.

So, you're like
a vegetarian of
cool people.

Ha ha!
Yeah. Exactly.

Um...Will you
excuse me a second?

I actually
have to make a--

A quick phone call.

Ok, so, when i lost
my human nature,

I also lost my game.

Where are you?

[chimes]

Uhh.

What are you
looking for?

I thought i had--
guess not.

Elena: What's this?

Hey. Are you ok?

Depends. Am i still
in the western hemisphere?

Hang on.
I can help.

I'm sorry.
I'm from new york

And we're big on
cell phone reception.

[chuckles]
where you heading?

Mystic falls.
My gps died

And then i started
second-guessing myself--aah!

Aah!

Easy. This is when
you wipe her slate

And let her go.

I am still hungry.

Aah!
Damon: You're gonna
kill her,

Just like you nearly
killed the last one

And the one before
that and the one
before that.

I got it, damon.
I'm gonna let her go.

I'm just--i just
need a little more.

Ooh! Aah!

Oh, my god!

What are you--

Caroline.
It's not--

Oh!

No!

Aah! Ow!
[gasping]

Help. Help, anybody.

Caroline: What did
you do?

Why the hell are you
feeding on people?

It's fine.
I've compelled
everyone else.

Whoa, hang on.
So, you're
the border lurker?

Did you know
my mom's been
out looking

For a vampire
prowler?

[sigh] it's gotta
be the herbs

Luke's been
giving me.

They make me
so thirsty.

Maybe i'm not
thinking straight.

Whoa. What herbs?

They make me
see damon.

I can talk to him and--and--
and i can be with him and--

Is this what
you've been doing
this whole time?

Hallucinating your
dead boyfriend?

I tried to grieve
him, caroline.

Trust me.
I know grief.

I've got grieving
down to a science
at this point,

And i tried.

But every time...

I let it sink in that

I'm never gonna
see him again...

I feel like
i'm gonna die.

Look, hon, i get it.
Ok? I do.

But...There are

Better ways
to get through this.

Like what?

Like dropping out
of school and

Having picnics
with my mom

Near the town border?

Or maybe i could
pull a stefan

And just bounce from
country to country

Chasing some false hope
that we're gonna find

A way to bring
damon and bonnie back.

We're all getting
through it.

This is me
getting through it. Ok?

Yeah, but you're not
getting through it,
elena.

You're just
pressing pause.

[sigh] look.
I'll call my mom

And she can
fix all this.

But you need to get
out of here

And go hide, ok?

So, just...Go.

What am i doing?

Girl: Help me.

[crying]

Please help me.

It's ok.
You have to help me.

There was this girl.
I saw her.

She looked so normal
but i swear to god,

She had these teeth
and she bit me.

You have to help me...

You need to find her.

What happened?
There was this girl

And i was--i was lost--

She had a dog.

It bit her.
She was lost.

She stopped
to ask this girl
for directions.

She had a dog
and it bit her.

Is that what happened?

Look at me.

Matt. What's
going on here?

This girl was attacked.
I'm not sure

We're getting
the full story.

Matt, get her to
the hospital now.

Girl: No...

Hey-hey-hey-hey.

What are you doing?
You need to talk to her.

We'll get a statement
as soon as she's
been treated.

You didn't even
ask her what happened.

All due respect,
tripp, you run

A volunteer
community program.

I'm the sheriff.
Let me do my job.

Go!

[cell phone ringing]

[ringing]

[ringing]

[ringing]

[bottle top hits counter]

[cell phone ringing]

[ringing]

Hello?

Elena: Stefan,
is that you?

I know it's been
a really long time

Since we talked, but--

Elena, hey.

What's going on?

I need you to tell me
that you found something.

A witch.
A guy who knows a witch

Who knows something.
Anything.

I need you to give me
hope and tell me

That you're
gonna find damon
and bring him back.

Not yet.

But how do you
do it?

How do you wake up
in the morning?

How do you
go about your day

Without falling apart?

Tell me what you're
doing to get through this,

Because i'm clearly
doing it wrong.

There's no right or
wrong way, elena.

No, there's
only forever.

That's why i need you
to give me hope.

Because i don't think
i can live forever
without him.

I can't.
I gave up.

You just said that
you were looking
for him.

I did.

And then i realized
it was pointless

And that i needed to
move on with my life,

So...I stopped.

What do you mean
you stopped?

I mean i said good-bye,
elena.

I moved on.
Damon is gone.

It's time for you
to say good-bye, too.

[phone beeps]
no.

[crying]

[sniffles]

[crowd chanting
"let's go whitmore"]

Tyler: Where are you?

The game's gonna start
in, like, 15 minutes.

Caroline: Do you know
elena has some witchy
drug problem?

Yeah, luke parker
has been feeding her
some concoction

That allows her
to hallucinate damon.

Whoa. Slow down.
What?

It gets her all
bloodlusty and confused.

She nearly
killed a girl today.

This makes no sense.

Yeah, well, neither
did the fact that

She got over damon so
quickly when he died.

Now it's crystal clear.
She hasn't.

She's living in
a fantasy land.

Is she ok?

She's a mess.
And as long as luke

Keeps playing
witch doctor,

She's not going
to get any better.

Let me deal
with him.

Matt: We're just meeting
up with my friend here.

Everything will be fine.

[tires screeching]

Sarah, stop, please.

Get back in the car.
Stop! Sarah!

Hey! I'm not
gonna hurt you.

You kidnapped me.

Look, i know
you're scared,

And i'm sorry that
this happened to you,

But all i can do
is promise

That it won't
happen again.

Why the hell
should i trust you?

Because i've been
attacked like that

More times than
i can count.

I've had my throat
ripped open.

I've had my neck snapped,
my hand smashed.

I've drowned.
I've died and come
back to life.

And i've lost what
little family i had,

And i refuse to lose
anyone else.

I want to protect
people like you.

Like us.

That's...Quite a story,
but...

Thing is,
i don't trust anyone.
Ever.

That's
probably wise.

Hey. Have you
seen elena?

She's not coming.

Apparently, she's not
in her right mind.

What happened?

Is this what you've
been up to all summer?

Messing with
elena's brain?

Does it help
with the guilt

Or are you just
desperate for friends?

Where's elena now?

Why? So you can
trick her into

Thinking damon's alive?

Who does that?
She almost
killed someone.

You're drunk.
Don't touch me.

Where's your magic
now, parker?

What's wrong?
You can't chant?

You stay away
from elena,

Or you're gonna
have a problem

Your magic wand
can't fix.

Hey! Knock it off.

Knock it off.

You got it under
control, huh?

Huh?

You want to tell me
what that was about?

Come on.
Let's get out of here.

[music playing]

You can't be here.

You're not even real.

It's just
my subconscious
making me see

What i want to see.

One call
from my brother

And you're gonna
throw all this away?

You know i want
to see you, damon.

But it
makes me reckless.
I hurt people.

So, why
am i here?

Do you want
to move on?

Move on.

I never got to say
thank you.

For what?

For saving stefan

And...For bringing back

Alaric and tyler.

Thank you.

Elena--

No, i'm not done yet.
I--

I want to thank you
for giving me

Everything i
always wanted.

A love that consumed me.
And passion.

Adventure.

There's nothing more
i could ever want

Other than for it
to last forever, but...

It can't.

[sniffles]

This is the last time
i'm gonna see you.

This is good-bye, damon.

I love you.

I have to let go.

You're still
holding on.

I--no. I...

I said good-bye, damon.

I don't blame you.

You know what's
waiting for you.

How long before
you go running back
to luke?

No. I told you.
That was the last
time, damon.

I--i'm done.

[puts object on table]

An eternity of torment,
agony, and grief.

And you feel it all.

Stop it, damon.
Stop it, stop it.

You're getting
in my head.

Don't do this. Please.

You'll feel it forever.
No!

[glass shatters]

[clattering]

[glass shatters]

[clattering]
[crying]

[panting]

Could you be more of
a douchebag cliche?

I got a little
out of control.
I know.

A little?
It's not luke's fault

That your friend's
emotionally
blackmailing him

To fulfill whatever
mental head case

Crap she's
going through.

Grief.
It's called grief.

Your brother got
to live that day, remember?

The rest of us lost people
because of him.

I'm aware of that,
tyler.

I think about it
every day.

So does luke.

A lot of you got
your lives back, too,

Because of me.

So, at the very least,
do me a favor

And lay off my brother.

You're right.
I'm sorry.

Yeah. Our twin powers
don't work like that.

You actually have to
tell luke to his face.

Well, i will.
Listen.

Liv, 4 months ago,
i could do anything.

I could make anyone do
anything that i wanted.

I was stronger than
most people on this earth.

And then it went away.
And all that's left

Inside of me is rage.

Why are you
telling me this?

Because i want
you to understand that

I am trying
to deal with it.

Ok, good.
Good luck
dealing with it.

Why do you do that?

I'm trying to talk
to you and you just

Give me that look
and walk away?

What would you like me
to do, tyler?

[music playing]

Stefan on recording:
It's stefan.
Leave a message.

[beep]

Hey. It's me.

Just leaving
another message about

How today was not a good day.

Caroline, voice-over:
Everyone drifted apart.

Caroline, voice-over:
It's like everyone's pretending
they can get through this alone.

Caroline, voice-over:
Elena's gone

And i think she's so scared
to accept what happened

That she's become a completely
different person.

Caroline, voice-over:
And if you ask me, tyler's just

Hiding at whitmore,
pretending everything's fine

As if he can outrun his
werewolf gene or something.

Caroline, voice-over:
And matt and jeremy never leave
mystic falls anymore.

Caroline, voice-over:
There's an invisible wall
standing between us and them

And nobody's doing
anything about it.

Caroline, voice-over:
Part of me wonders if they hope

We never find a way back in.

And then there's me,
just sitting in a diner

On the border of town
looking for a way

To get our home back.

We just lost two of
our closest friends.

We need each other.
We need to be together, stefan,

Or pretty soon we're
just gonna end up

Pictures in a yearbook
in a drawer somewhere,

And so, that is why i am
not going to stop calling you

Until you pick up the phone
and i hear your voice

And you tell me that you are
going to help me fix it.

Because i am not
going to give up on us.

[phone beeps]

[clatters]

Elena: Do you like
being a vampire?

Alaric: Why don't you
get some sleep?

We'll talk
about it tomorrow

When that crap's
out of your system.

Because with
all the funerals

And the start
of the year...

We never really talked
about how you're

Dealing with all this.

You mean with me
coming back to life?

Well, moving away
from mystic falls helped.

And since my
ex-girlfriend is

Happily married
to a pediatrician
up in alaska,

I didn't have any
awkward reunions
to handle.

I meant the blood lust.

The heightened emotions
and immortality.

Honestly, elena...

I hate everything
about being a vampire.

Me, too.

At least i did.

Then one day,
i discovered
the good part.

You know...
The promise

That love could
be eternal.

And i had that
with damon.

Which means for
the rest of eternity,

I'm gonna have a hole
in my heart where

He's supposed to be.

Trust me.
It gets easier.

I know how
death works, ric.

Trust me.
I have done it.
A lot.

There's no such
thing as moving on.

It's a lie.

So, if i'm ever
going to be able to
fall in love again,

And make
eternity bearable,

I need you
to do something.

What?

You were created
by the original
vampire spell,

Which means you can
compel other vampires.

And since i can't
take away my vampirism,

I want you
to take away damon.

I want you to compel me
to forget that

I ever loved him.

[music playing]

Every day i tell
you i hate that.

And every day
i do it.

Bon appetit.
