Previously
on "The Vampire Diaries"...

Damon's gone.

I want you to compel
me to forget that I ever loved him.

Who is Damon Salvatore?

He was a monster.

That's my
girlfriend Ivy.

Somebody killed
her last night

right in front
of me.

Caroline: Killing Enzo won't
bring her back.

If I kill him,
I can leave this place,

and I can
start over again.

[Thwap]

[Thwap]

I have my own way
I like them to die.

Vampires can't get
into Mystic Falls.

They can lurk
around the borders.

Jeremy: Sarah-- the girl you attacked
and you compelled...

No!

Knows what I am.

My mom lived
in Mystic Falls for years

before she had me.

Damon: Where the hell
are we?

Bonnie: 1994.

My own hell.
We're never getting out.

Bonnie: There's
someone else here.

Incendia.

Kai: We're on
the same team.

Do you always try
and kill your teammates?

The important thing
is that you have your magic back

because your magic
is the key

to getting the hell
out of here.

Kai: And of course,
I broke into the Oval Office

and took a picture of myself
at the window looking all J.F.K.,

but then I was like,
"wait. How am I gonna get

these photos developed?"

Damon: Oh, my god! Just
answer the damn question.

How are we gonna get
out of this twilight zone?

I got a question
for you first.

Why do you think we're
stuck on a repeating loop

of May 10, 1994,

doomed to relive
a solar eclipse

forever and ever
and ever?

How the hell
should I know?

Well, I heard you tell Bonnie
this place was your own personal hell.

I'm kind of curious why.

Bonnie: I found everything
you asked for--

can opener, shower drain,
grinding wheel, jam,

pocket knife, volume
"O" of the encyclopedia,

a nail,
and a black marker.

Now what?

Can't show you
with my hands taped.

Bonnie.

Thank you.

Ok. Fine. How's
this pile of crap

gonna get us
out of here?

I'll explain as soon
as you tell me

what you did
on May 10, 1994?

What difference
does it make?

Put it this way.
Bonnie's magic is one part

of the equation.

My as yet undisclosed
knowledge is the other,

which means you would be hitching
a ride home for free.

I just want to know
if you deserve to come along.

Or I could just
torture you until

you say
something useful.

If you torture me,
I'll get mad,

and then I won't
want to help you.

What kind of person
needs to have that

explained to them?

Play nice.

Stop trying to
impress the new guy.

Why don't you just
tell him your story?

Maybe because I don't
want to talk

about the worst thing
I ever did, Bonnie.

Ooh. Now I'm
listening.

Original Air Date on October 23, 2014

@elder_man

Ready for some
bad news?

Unh. Heh.

I barely seen you
in 50 years, Stefan.

You could invite
a brother in.

Give me one good
reason why.

Check your
answering machine.

I'm trying to turn over
a new leaf.

Oh, I heard
your message.

I also heard you sent
Lexi some flowers

17 years after you left
her to burn to death on a rooftop.

Well...

That's a little late,
but I see you're

trying to make amends.

I just
want to know why.

Ugh. Well, I can
tell you this, Stefan.

I'm tired of tearing
up New York City.

Maybe it's the partying,
maybe it's my conscience.

I believe that would
require one.

And then I had
this moment of clarity,

and I said,
"Wouldn't it be great

"if I just woke up
in my own bed

and could have
a fresh start?"

You must be Damon.

Damon, this is, uh,
Zach Salvatore.

He owns the house now.
He knows the family history,

and I told him if you
got out of line

I'd take care
of you myself.

Why are you always
expecting the worst

out of me, Stefan?

Oh, I don't.
Otherwise, I wouldn't

allow this.

Come on in, Damon.

Thanks.

You ready to start over?

Hell, yeah.

[Cell phone vibrating]

Hey. Any sign
of our runaway girl?

Nope. Caroline and I
combed the border

of Mystic Falls
3 times already.

No sign of Sarah.

She's not any
of the roads,

which means she's probably
in Mystic Falls.

This is bad, Stefan.

Her compulsion went away
as soon as she

crossed the border.

She knows that Caroline
and I are vampires.

Listen. I got to go.

I'll, uh, talk
to you later.

[Motorcycle starts]

[Whoosh]

Where do you think
you're going?

Um, I'm going home.

Savannah's not
your home, Stefan.

It's an escape,
a hiding place.

This is your home.

No. This was my home,
but I can no longer

enter its borders.

Therefore, I have
a new home.

So you're just gonna
throw in the towel

and go back to your
fake new life?

Look. My fake
new life ended

when Enzo decided to kill my
not-so-fake girlfriend Ivy,

so I am going to
go home, pack up,

and start over again.

By pretending like
your life here never existed.

You'd be surprised
how easy it is

to forget
the past, Elena.

I'm not buying it.

You lost
your brother.

There's no way
that you're fine.

You do not have to
worry about me.

It's not like I haven't
done this before.

I have a system.

Show me. Prove to me

that your
system works.

If I believe that
you actually are happy,

then I'll let you go,

but if I don't buy it,
which I probably won't,

I will keep harassing
you until you come home,

and I'm talking about,
like, Enzo-sized harassment.

Deal?

Sure.

And what about
our runaway girl Sarah?

Well, we can't step foot
in Mystic Falls,

so now it's up
to Matt and Jeremy.

[Retching]

Attaboy. Get her
all out.

Matt on cell phone:
Is he seriously still wasted?

Yeah. Little punk
showed up on my doorstep

last night at 4:00
in the morning drunk.

I thought you two
were looking for Sarah together.

I did my part.
She is definitely

not hiding in the Salvatore
liquor cabinet.

Listen. What about
your vampire-hating

neighborhood
watch guy?

If Sarah goes to him for help,
that's a problem.

I'm on my way
to Tripp's office now.

I think I can get him to trust me
and tell me what he knows.

Be safe.

Jo: Alaric.

Hi.

Who do we
have here?

This is Jeremy--
Jeremy Gilbert.

He is a little...

- Underage?
- Yeah.

Yeah. I can see that.

I was hoping you could
give him one

of those rapid
rehydration

hangover cure
type things.

Oh, yeah. You mean,
the ones we reserve

for professional athletes
and starving children

in third-world countries.

Yeah. I think we'll start
with a full workup--

physical, blood,
toxicology.

Yeah. Why don't
you throw in an STD screening

while you're
at it, huh?

- Really?
- Yeah.

Down the hall
to the right.

[Groans]

Do I want to know?

It's just another day
in the life

of an occult studies
professor.

Well, if that entails supervising
drunk morons,

then you and I have
a lot more in common than I thought.

Ah.

Tripp: I know,
and I'm sorry Karen.

Jay was a good kid.

I promise. You'll be
the first one to know.

Ok.

Tripp, are you ok?

No.

No. I just told
Jay's parents

that I was the one
who found their son

dead in the woods
last night.

I heard.

Do you know
what happened?

You tell me.

He went to the party
with you.

I don't know.

He was drunk. I offered
to give him a ride home,

and he said he'd walk.

I should have
driven him home.

Ok.

I'm gonna give
the sheriff my statement

and try to make sense
of what happened to Jay.

Wait. Maybe I should
go with you.

I might have been
the last person to see Jay alive.

Ok. Done.
Let's take a ride.

Kai: I need to be
entertained while I work.

♪ Hell story, please ♪

Remind me not
to kill him.

Maybe telling him
your story will take

your mind off of it.

Whose side
are you on?

The side where get to go
home to the people we love.

Fine.

In May 1994,
I was living here.

I'd come home
to walk the straight and narrow.

[Music playing]

Can I have
a sip of that?

I'm starving.

Sure.

Whew.

Mmm.
It's good, right?

Uh-uh.

Oh, yeah.
I can't remember

if that squirrel
was roadkill

or one I caught
in the rat trap.

Better hope it was
roadkill, though,

because the rat trap
was full of rat droppings.

Swish your
tongue around.

Does it feel like
hair, or is it more

of a grainy pellet?

Ugh.

How's it going Zach?

What's up with all
the grocery trips?

Ah. One of the boarders

is craving
blueberry pancakes.

You know, maybe
I should run

the Salvatore
boarding house.

Hi.

Take over for Zach,

get in good
with Gail.

She's on Vervain.

So is Zach,

which means
hands off.

[Snoring]

Damon: Perfect.
Our savior's insane

and narcoleptic.

No, no, no.
I'm awake.

Let me guess--
you killed

the pregnant woman.

Shut up, Kai.
You weren't listening.

I was listening
in my sleep.

You were hanging out
with your distant nephew Zach,

who you called
Uncle Zach

because that's
not confusing.

Plus pregnant lady
Gail,

who had a big
bull's-eye on her chest.

Got it.

Tell me you didn't kill
a pregnant woman.

Oh, that's totally
what happened.

Why else would today
be his personal hell?

Oh, here we go.

The only reason that
you're alive right now

is because I thought you
could get us out of here

and you could help us,

but you don't have
any answers.

You're just a man-child
with jam on your fingers!

Ok then.

To get home, we'll
harness the power

of the eclipse

using
a mystical relic.

It's called
an Ascendant,

and it looks
like this, Damon.

The last time
we had it was

in the
Pacific Northwest.

Oregon.

We?

It belonged
to my family.

So here's a little
blood to get you started.

Now all we need
is a locator spell

to pinpoint
its whereabouts.

Think you can find our
ticket out here, Bon Bon?

Hell, yeah.

She's cute.

Was cute.

I'm sorry.

Me, too, but what's
done is done.

So after taxes
and social security

and health insurance,
I'm left with $206.03

to spend for the week.

You want to get drunk?

Stefan, health insurance?

Yeah. The point is
to start over,

pretend to be as human
as possible.

Oh, ok. So no
vampire privileges,

no baggage, nothing
from our old lives whatsoever, huh?

Ahem. What's this?

You got me there.

See, Damon isn't around

to call it
a granny mobile, so...

Yeah. Your brother
really did love

to torture people
with nicknames

and just plain
torture people.

That's one way
to put it.

So your system
for moving on requires

both burning bridges
and a dead-end job.

We haven't even gotten
to the fun part.

Paying utilities?

No. Deciding who you
want to be

for the next 30 years.

Do you want to be
an astronaut,

you want to be
an Olympic athlete,

you want to
skip med school,

boom, you're a doctor.

Go ahead. Challenge me.

I'll show you
how it's done.

All right. Let's see
what you got.

Ok.

Quite a boozer that kid.
Put him on a saline drip.

He's lucky I didn't
pump his stomach.

Yeah. You know,
he's had a rough couple of months.

Did you bring him in here
to put a band-aid on it

and make some more
excuses?

No. I actually came
here for some advice

from a professional.

Well, a kick in the ass
might help.

Jeremy, too.

Look. If he's anything
like his sister,

I'm sure he'll be fine.

It's nothing I don't treat
every single night on campus

or didn't do myself
when I was a student.

Ok.

What about you?

Former party animal?

Oh, yeah, yeah.
I used to get kicked out

of the library
all the time, you know,

because it was closing.

Right. Head
in the Wiccan Bible?

Ok. One more piece
of professional advice.

When a successful,
sexy,

only moderately
insecure doctor

is flirting with you,

give her your
undivided attention.

Elena: Caroline's laying
low at the dorm,

no sign of Sarah yet,

which means she's
either hiding out

or she's planning her
nightly news exclusive

to out me.

Well, if she does
out you,

then you start your life
over somewhere else

free of all the, uh,
supernatural drama.

Right.

So you ready to see
the system in action?

Ready.

All right.

Hand over your ring.

What?

Your ring.

Ok.

[Music playing]

Elena Williams...

[Woman gasps]

Ohh! Stefan Cooper,
what are you doing?

We've known each other
for a very long time now,

and you've always been
my best friend.

I have always loved you,

and I want to spend
the rest of my life with you.

- Will you--
- Wait!

You're not just
proposing to me

because I'm
pregnant, are you?

No. No.

I-I am proposing to you

because you are
my rock, ok?

You have stood
by my side

through the multiple
rehabs, the jail time,

the bull fighting injury.

I mean, you have brought
me back from the edge,

and, sweetheart, this baby

is the best thing
that ever happened to us.

Will you marry me?

Yes!

[Applause]

Ha! Oh!

Aw. You're crazy.

See that? New identities,
new lives.

It's easy.

Thank you all so much.
Thank you.

Phesmatos tribum
nas ex viras,

sequitas sanguinem.

It doesn't feel right.

Maybe I need a bigger map.

Maybe you're just
out of practice

and you suck
at magic now.

Kai: Ignore him, Bonnie.

Pretend he's
a white noise machine.

That's how I used to
tune out my siblings.

I grew with a ton
of little sisters and brothers

and all of them
constantly yammering,

but it, uh, taught me
how to focus.

Damon: Easy there,
big brother.

She doesn't know you.

At least buy
her a drink.

Damon: Can I call
you Liz?

Sure?

Your daughter is
so adorable.

Yeah. Caroline's
high maintenance,

but she's worth it.

I am so getting rid
of that photo.

Stefan, come take a picture
of Zach and me.

Sure.

Thanks, Stefan.

And now back
to my cravings.

Hey. Um, what happened
to your wrist?

I don't know.

Liz: So how does
thing help us watch the eclipse?

You put it
in between you

and the thing that's
too hot to look at.

Ahh! It works!

My husband would get
a kick out of you.

We should invite you
over to dinner sometime.

Stefan: Damon, what'd
you do to Gail?

Is everything ok?

Looks like
the jig is up.

Hey. Look at me.

Go home. Forget
you ever met us.

Hey. How the hell
did you feed on Gail?

She's on Vervain.

In her coffee.

I swapped it out
last week,

same for Zach.

These people are
my friends.

Zach is family.
They trust me.

And they'll trust
us both.

Look. I'm only feeding inside
the house, right?

Snatch, eat, erase.

It's all completely
functional, Stefan.

I told you
it's a new start.

[Snap]

Bonnie: ...Nas ex viras,
sequitas sanguinem.

Phesmatos tribum
nas ex viras,

sequitas sanguinem.

The blood's moving
towards Virginia.

That can't be right.

Uh-uh.
The spell's working.

It's showing me
Mystic Falls.

It feels so...

Close.

It's right...

Here.

Very good.

That's the Ascendant?

The one and only.

Thanks for
the mind games, jackass.

It was just
another little test

to make sure
Bonnie's magic

was precise enough
for the spell.

I do believe
you're ready.

Pack your bags.

We're going home.

[Damon groaning]

Ohh.

So here's what
I don't get, Damon.

Why'd you insinuate
yourself back into my life

and then cheat and lie
and break all the rules?

Well, I lied because
I knew you'd be mad.

Believe it or not, I
like being here, Stefan.

[Sighs]

Aah! Auugh!

You'll get your
daylight ring back

when you decide
to behave.

Now answer my question.

Why'd you come
back here?

Because I missed
my brother.

I wanted to have a connection to
my humanity, Stefan,

I wanted to feel
something again,

and when I decided
to come back home,

it all came
rushing back

just like
I hoped it would.

Oh, congrats.
Now what?

Come on, man.
Let's just hit the road,

you and me.

Huh? I'll let you
drive my car,

I'll get you
off this vegan diet,

teach you how
to feed again.

It'll be great, Stef.

Huh?

What do you say?

Come on! Trust me.

Yeah. I can imagine
a road trip with you.

Yeah.

I can imagine you
feeding on innocent people

and leaving a trail
of bodies behind.

I can imagine you making
me drink human blood

and laughing at me
while I suffer.

Way to be
an optimist, Stefan.

I'm just looking
at the facts, Damon.

1912, you convinced me
to drink human blood again,

which is why I became
a ripper.

1942, you almost pushed
me off the rails again

because you were
so damn needy.

1977, you left
my best friend to die

after I sent her
to come help you,

and now I'm
finally happy,

I have a new life,
I'm doing well,

and, uh, you just can't
handle that,

can you, Damon?

I'm not trying to
screw up

your dumb new life.

You don't have to
try, Damon.

All you have to do
is exist

because no matter what
I do or where I go,

you will be
with me forever,

trying to destroy
every single thing that I built.

I don't know why
I thought this time

would be any different.

I wanted it
to be different,

but you just keep
failing.

Guess that's a no
on the road trip, huh?

That's a no
on the road trip.

[Music playing]

So according
to Caroline,

Sarah's
still M.I.A.,

and now Enzo's
missing.

Probably out killing
someone else's girlfriend.

Uh, uh. Pregnant,
remember?

Dumbest lie
I've ever told.

Can I just take
that one back?

No, but you'll have to
reinvent yourself

in 30 years.

If you don't, people
will start asking why

you're not getting
any older.

But when I first
met you,

you said you'd been
away from Mystic Falls

for 15 years.

What made you come back
ahead of schedule?

You said it yourself.

I met you.

Since 1864, I have
been a carpenter,

an ambulance driver,
a migrant worker,

high-school student.

So then why
auto mechanic

for 200 bucks a week?

No reason.

Yeah. It must be hard,
all that change

without a constant
in your life.

We haven't talked
about your brother.

A little weird to hear
you refer to Damon

as just my brother.

What else would
I call him?

I don't even know
anymore.

Anymore?
What does that mean?

You know what?
It's, uh, it's not important.

Things change, right?

To change.

Who cares what
people think, right?

To change.

Damon: You're wandering around
like a crazy man why?

I'm looking
for the exact right spot.

We need to find where
the power of the eclipse is focused.

You could've just shown us
the Ascendant to begin with.

Yeah, but I wanted to
feel your hand on my chest.

There's something not
right about him.

You're just not
used to guys hitting on you.

You know, I can't wait
to get out of here

and talk
to somebody else.

Can we just have a few lasting
seconds of peace

while this idiot
uses that thing

to get the stars
to align?

Damon: Hey.
What's up with the nature walk?

Kai: I used the Ascendant
to figure out

where we need to be
standing during the eclipse.

Great. Let's do
some magic,

get the hell
out of here.

- Oregon.
- What?

I've read this paper,
like, a thousand times.

There's something
in it about Oregon.

What about it?

You know, Kai said he
had all those brothers and sisters?

Mm-hmm.

"Family massacred
in Portland"?

The only one missing
was the oldest boy,

a 22-year-old
named Malachai.

Who names a kid
Malachai?

It's like they
expected me to be evil.

All these kids
were murdered.

Hello? Not
everyone died.

I had a soft spot
for one of my sisters.

Otherwise, I would
have cut her lungs out

and not just
her spleen.

What?

You can survive
without a spleen.

Something tells me
you're not speaking

hypothetically.

Well, these two,
I, uh, hung

off a stairwell railing.

Then I put a hunting knife
in her abdomen,

and him I drowned
in the pool.

He kept fighting me.

I was like,

"I saved you for last,
you ungrateful little"...

Anyway, that was that.

You just killed
your whole family?

Coven to be precise.

Oh, you know,
a family of witches.

You've been making her jump
through hoops, and you're a witch?

Sort of yeah.
No powers obviously.

Oh, and of course,
Gemini coven did not

take it too well when they heard
what I did in Portland.

That's why they
banished me here.

This place is a prison.

They created it
for you.

Yep! This isn't
your hell, Damon.

It's mine.

You call this
a fair fight?

You're basically
an Original vampire.

You've killed
an Original before.

Now get your head
in the game,

and maybe you'll
keep it out of the bottle.

Happy?

I am trying to help you
pull yourself

together, Jeremy.

Now what is
your problem?

My problem

is that everyone thinks that I
shouldn't have one.

I have the right to be
messed up right now.

Bonnie is dead.

She knew it was
gonna happen,

and she said good-bye
over the phone

just so you...

Keep going.
So what?

So I could come
back to life, right?

You, Elena, Stefan,
Tyler, Enzo.

She saved everybody
but herself.

Listen, Jeremy. You want to talk
about resentment, huh?

Is that it?

My wife ran away
because she would rather be

a vampire than be
married to me.

Come to find out,
it was Damon who turned her,

and then she died,

and then Jenna--
she died,

and then I died,

and then the guy
who killed my wife died,

and I actually
kind of miss him,

and now I can't even
talk to a girl

without fantasizing
about tearing into her neck?

I mean, Jeremy, I have
resentment for years, years!

I get it, ok,

but I find a way
to keep going

because that's
what we do.

We find a way
to keep going!

Ok?

[Music playing]

Oh.

Right.

So if we were to
run into each other

in some random town
in 30 years,

do we pretend like
we're strangers?

Elena, I'm avoiding
Mystic Falls, not you.

We can talk,
we can visit,

and if you ever need
a car repair,

I will give you
the parts at cost.

Bye, Stefan.

Bye.

Hey, man.

Ahh.

Noticed you weren't
celebrating my engagement.

How come?

Hard to be happy
for the guy who put

my brother
in the hospital.

Oh. Right, right,
right. Ok.

Hey. Remind me.
Which guy was it--

broken nose
or fractured arm?

I was kind of drunk.

I'm still waiting
for the congrats

on my engagement.

"I'm really happy
for you."

Yeah.

Heh heh.
That all you got?

Come on, man.
Hit me. Come on.

Ohh.

[Coughing]

You frigging
enjoying this?

You sick freak!

Go home, clean up,

and forget this
ever happened.

What the hell
are you doing?

We're not letting
Kai out of here, ok?

He just said he's
a serial killer.

I don't care.
I want to get out of here.

How can you not care?
Maybe because of all

the horrible things
you've done?

Maybe because killing
a bunch of kids

is not a big deal
to someone who's murdered

a pregnant woman?

Am I wrong?

Did you leave
the door open?

No. Why?

[Gail screams]

This eclipse party blows.

I didn't see the sun at all
when I made it across the yard.

You forget how much
stronger we are

when we drink
human blood.

Zach.

Damon, please don't
hurt her.

I want my ring
back, Stefan.

Attaboy.

I'm never gonna be
rid of you, am I?

No. No, you're not.

Because in 1912
I showed you

who you were, Stefan.

In 1942,
I gave you your freedom,

and in 1977,
I almost killed

your best friend because
it should have been you

there to help me,
Stefan.

You owe me,

and it'll take you
an eternity

to pay me back.

Zach: No!

An eternity
of misery, brother,

just like I promised.

Ouch. Poor
nephew uncle Zach.

Stefan compelled
uncle Zach to forget

about the girlfriend
and the baby,

but he couldn't cover up
all those murders.

The founders' council
was restarted,

and Stefan took off,
left Mystic Falls

for about 15 years.

We both did,

and then when I saw
uncle Zach again,

I couldn't look at him
without remembering

that I had ruined
everything,

so it was a nice relief
when I got to kill him.

Ok. Can we go back now?

Kai: Oh, come on, Bonnie.

You want to go home
to your friends,

I want to go back
and give the rest

of the Gemini coven
an excruciating death. Win-win.

Look. I know this guy's
not a model citizen, ok, Bonnie,

but I got to get back,

not just for Elena
but for my brother.

I'm sorry, Damon.

Sorry doesn't work
for me.

Hey. We might be
having a bit of a disagreement,

but don't ever lay
a hand on her.

Kind of a nonissue now.

Missed today's eclipse.

Rain check for tomorrow.

No.

So you and the sheriff
don't seem to get along.

Oh. Liz and my wife
were high-school rivals,

some issue about who
was captain

of the field hockey
team.

You're married?

I was.

Yeah. Kris died
in a car accident.

I'm sorry.

Well, that's why I
left Mystic Falls.

Too many memories.

So what'd you tell
the sheriff about Jay?

Oh, just what I saw.

Uh, tons of blood.

Probably
a mountain lion.

Just another
animal attack, huh?

You sound doubtful.

This is gonna sound
weird,

but last night,
Jay told me that he was

tracking a vampire.

I mean, that's
crazy, right?

I'm gonna show you
something.

I thought you agreed
to leave.

I forgot my jacket,
Stefan.

What happened
with that guy?

I told you
I have a system.

Letting somebody kick your
ass so that you can feel?

You are the last person
who should be lecturing

me on coping mechanisms.

You're not alone
in your grief, Stefan.

I lost Bonnie
when you lost Damon,

but I fought
through it.

Yeah?
All by yourself?

Yes.

And it was hard.

I know that you're
pushing me away

because I never
liked Damon--

Believe me, that's not
what it is.

And I know that he's
your brother. I get it,

but why inflict
so much pain on yourself

for such a hateful person?

I mean, he doesn't
deserve your grief.

There's got to be
another way that you can move on.

I'm sorry that I can't
just forget him

like you, Elena.

No one's forgetting him.

You are.

You erased him.

What are you
talking about?

You had Alaric
compel you to forget

every good thing
that Damon ever did.

You made him a monster
in your own mind

because you couldn't
handle the grief

of losing him.

I don't believe anything
that you're saying.

Why would I do that?

Because you were
in love with him,

and he was in love
with you,

and when Damon died,
a part of you died, too.

Wow. Oh, God.
What? No, no.

Stefan, how could I
possibly love Damon?

Believe me, I asked
myself that

for a very long time,

and then eventually,
I saw it.

Damon inspired you,

he pushed you to own
the darkest parts of yourself,

and when you died,
he was the only one

that could make
you feel alive again,

and you made him
feel human.

You love Damon
for the same reasons

that I love Damon

because in spite
of every single thing

that he did we couldn't
live without him,

and now you
don't have to,

but I do,

so I'm gonna do it
my way.

You can do it yours.

What is this place?

A secret.

A secret I only share
with people I trust.

You remember the gas leak
in town over the summer?

Well, I came back to make
sure my grandmother was ok.

First time I've been back
in years.

When I crossed
the town border...

something changed.

Memories came
flooding back.

I realized that my wife

didn't die
in a car accident.

She was murdered,

drained of her blood
right in front of me,

and the killer
made me believe

I was responsible.

I had to find out
what kind of monster

could do all that.

Vampires--

they are real,

and one
murdered my wife,

but this is the one

who murdered Jay,

and I'm gonna get him
to name all

his vampire buddies,

starting with the one
who bit your friend Sarah.

Sarah?

You try anything,

and I call 911
and out your vampire sister

to the world.

Hey. Just take it easy.
What do you want?

Answers. I found
this when I was

tossing the house
last night.

That's my mom,

and the reason
I know this is

because I've had this
since I was a baby.

My mom was a Jane Doe.

Her body was still warm
when they dumped it

at the hospital
6 months pregnant.

The nurses thought
I was DOA, too,

but one doctor did
an emergency C-section,

and I survived.

I lived 3 months
in an Incubator.

They didn't know
who my dad was,

and neither did I,

but then I found this.

[Music playing]

Your dad is
Zach Salvatore.

How could you obliterate
an entire chapter of my life?

Look, Elena. As much
as I like to think

that I am full
of wisdom,

I think it's time
we stop pretending

that I actually know
what's best, ok?

Look. I've got my own issues to
sort out right now,

and I think this will
explain it much better

than I can.

"Dear me,
if you're reading this,

"then somebody spilled
the beans

"about your
selective memory loss.

"My money's on Caroline.

"Yes, you loved Damon.

"You loved him with a passion
that consumed you,

"and then when Damon died,

"the void he filled
was too deep, too dark.

"Facing an eternity
without your soul mate,

"you went
off the deep end.

"You turned into
someone that you weren't,

"a monster.

"Alaric can restore
your lost memories.

"All you have to do
is ask,

"but I hope
that you don't.

"I tried it
the other way.

"I didn't see
an end to the pain.

"I want you to
rediscover yourself

"in the absence
of the one who defined you.

"If you feel any hope
for the future at all,

"then you're already
better off.

"You've been given
a chance to start over.

"I want you to take it.

I want you to be happy."

So what do you
want me to do?

Can you hold on
to that,

keep it safe in case I
ever need to read it again?

Shame eating?

Thinking about that
pregnant lady.

She had a thing
for pancakes.

That's what you remember?

You remember it,
don't you?

You make pancakes
every day.

Because I'm bored.

No. Because you're
punishing yourself.

You called this place
your hell.

That means you
feel remorse.

That's what makes you
different than Kai.

It means there's
hope for you.

Look. We can still
get out of here, Bonnie.

We can just steal
that Ascendant contraption,

find out what Kai knows.

We'll ditch him.

He doesn't have
any powers anyway.

Kai: Actually, it's not
that simple.

You got to stop doing that.
It's creepy.

Here's the thing.
I have a peculiar effect on magic.

I can't generate
it myself,

but I can consume it
from others temporarily.

Family called me
an abomination.

That hurt my feelings.

Unh!

[Groaning]

Ok. We get it. Ugh.

You can see why my coven
and I didn't get along.

I smell
an ultimatum.

If I consume all
of Bonnie's magic,

I am just gonna
end up killing her,

but if we work
together,

we can all go home
as friends,

or I can devour
her magic,

kill you both
and go home alone.

What's it gonna be?

[Door opens]

Hello?

[Clang]

Ivy.

Stefan, I don't
feel so good.

Your friend Enzo
made me drink his blood,

and now I'm just
so thirsty.
