Bonnie's still having her nightmares re: the Klaus coffins. This time she's walking through the graveyard looking at the headstones of her witch relatives until she 'wakes up' in a coffin buried alive. She tries spells, but they don't work, however, someone saves her at the last moment...who is it? Thankfully, it's only a dream. But she decides to reveal it to Elena, everything, including the secret coffins. She shows her the one that cannot be opened. Elena is less than pleased that they have all been keeping this secret from her. Stefan arrives and is really bitchy about Bonnie's reveal. But she tells him that she can find a way to open the coffin and that requires Elena's assistance. Bonnie's mother.
THE VAMPIRE DIARIES (I can't do the dramatic title reveal as they can...)
Elena and Bonnie dig in to finding Bonnie's mom, Abby. The process is weird as Abby abandoned Bonnie when she was little to be raised by her 'Grams.' Damon arrives and he has found Abby for them, thanks to some compulsion. But hey, ROAD TRIP! Elena quickly rebuts the idea of Damon going with them. "But I found her," Damon whines. Banter, flirting, prolonged stares, yada yada yada, Bonnie calls them out on it and Damon confesses "we kissed...now it's weird...have fun." So sexy...
Caroline arrives home and Tyler is waiting in her living room with an apology. She protests but he tells her he needs to do something desperate to get out from underneath the sire bond. So desperate, in fact, that he called Caroline's Dad to help him. Daddy Dearest will do anything to protect Caroline so he's here to help. Caroline is intrigued.
Alaric and Dr. Fell are at the bar all flirty girty and Alaric finally formally asks her out on a date before she has to head back to the hospital. Damon arrives inquiring about Alaric's new interest and is immediately suspicious. Alaric innocently tells her that the only red flag he got was from her ex, the medical examiner, that Dr. Fell can be a tad bit psycho. Maybe it's a big red flag as Damon tells him that the medical examiner has been found murdered...with a stake through his heart.
Stefan arrives him with his own guest waiting in the living room, Klaus. He's not exactly there to apologize though. Turns out he's a little tired of the stalemate game. He got rid of the hybrids, time for Stefan to deliver too. But Stefan wants Klaus to leave town and then after a few years, they'll negotiate. Klaus is a little tired of his threats and ask if he's happy being all crazy and shit with no friends. Nerve?
On the road trip, Bonnie wonders what will happen with her mom but doesn't feel like chatting about it. So she asks what happened with Damon. Elena doesn't want to discuss but does let it be known that it wasn't horrible. Really, Elena? Stefan stalks them via phone and Elena pretty much tell him to leave them alone so Bonnie can have a private reunion with her Mom. Yeah, that'll happen. Stefan is in Elena's house and finds the print out that Damon brought revealing Abby's whereabouts.
Klaus checks in with a hybrid minion who he has sent to Abby's house prior to Bonnie and Elena's arrival.
When Elena and Bonnie arrive, they are greeted by Jamie (with the big blue eyes) and he is Abby's 'surrogate' son. He realizes who she is and invites her in. Bonnie is a tad bit jealous that Abby put all her efforts into raising a kid that wasn't hers and abandoned one that was. When Abby arrives home, she's a little surprised to see her estranged daughter. Abby makes them food and let's Elena know that she and Elena's mom was her best friend. She left after Michael came to Mystic Falls looking for Elena the doppleganger. Abby was the one who encrypted him in the tomb to save Elena. She lost her magic after that and left town. Bonnie is less than impressed and said she was still a coward for leaving her family to go raise someone else's child. Elena not enjoying the awkwardness goes outside and finds Stefan has arrived.
Caroline's Dad chains up Tyler and informs him in order to break the sire bond, Tyler has to willfully change into a werewolf. Tyler doesn't think he can but Daddy informs him that he has to get his free will back so that he'll owe Klaus nothing. Since he's a hybrid now, he doesn't need a full moon to do it. Tyler is skeptical since when he turns, he literally breaks every bone in his body. However, it's his only chance to break the bond so he agrees. It is a horribly painful process but he begins it. Caroline can't stand it and Tyler tells her to leave so she doesn't have to watch. Daddy tortures him until he gets angry enough to change because either he turns or he'll kill him. It's his only chance with Caroline. Tyler takes the bait and begins the change. But this time, he's stronger and breaks the chains. The hybrid blood has made him way stronger than the last time he changed.
Damon pays a visit to the hospital to grill Dr. Fell. He's being all protective and asks Dr. Fell about the medical examiner cover-up. She assures him she didn't kill the medical examiner and is still puzzled by Alaric's super human recovery abilities. As Damon goes to leave, she shoots him up with vervane and takes some of his blood.
Bonnie asks Abby flat out why she didn't come home. Abby wanted a chance at a real life to be Abby the person, not Abby the witch. She ran and she's sorry and at least she had Grams because she's a better person. Bonnie realizes she didn't know Grams died and breaks the news to her. Abby is heartbroken but complimented her on how well she raised Bonnie. She asks Bonnie why she's there and she tells Abby she needs her help with something but since she has no magic, it's useless. Abby still asks what she can do.
Stefan, being a little bitch, chastises Elena for not informing him of their discovery. Jamie arrives to help out and Elena encourages him to leave. Jamie has no desire to leave (Seriously great eyes) so Stefan compels him to go away. Jamie pulls a shot gun on him and tells Stefan he's not supposed to be there. Stefan realizes Jamie has been compelled and Jamie shoots Stefan with a wooden stake near his heart.
Damon informs Alaric that Meredith not only vervaned him, but then blood-jacked him. Alaric doesn't understand why Damon is checking up on her for him and Damon wanted to formally diagnose Meredith as a psycho. You're welcome.
Jamie ties up Elena as Stefan suffers and Abby calls for Jamie as she's carrying an unconscious Bonnie. Apparently she was compelled too. Abby meets up with Klaus' minion and tells him Bonnie did not reveal where the coffins are and she won't. Bonnie awakens from consciousness. Abby begs her to reveal the location while showing her a secret text to warn her friends that Klaus has compelled them. Elena sweet talks Jamie and Jamie reveals that he has no idea why he's doing what he's doing but he can't stop. He has been compelled that if Abby doesn't find the location of the coffins, he will kill himself. But he is not to hurt Elena. Elena tells him that being tied up IS hurting her. (Nice technicality move, Elena). Jamie unties her and she knocks him out. She goes to Stefan and he tells her to please get the pieces of the stake out of his body to ease the pain. Elena helps.
Damon arrives at the coffin site and Klaus is there. He has found the coffins. The witches hurt him since he insulted them. Damon laughs. Klaus states that the witches should be careful as he has Abby and Bonnie currently. The witches lay off and the witches reveal 3 out of the 4 coffins. They refuse to show him the 4th. Damon informs him that they can't show him the 4th since Bonnie gave him the heads up and Damon had time to move at least one...the most important one. Klaus is displeased and threatens Damon. Damon isn't scared since he knows Klaus wants the coffin way more than he wants Damon dead.
Alaric confronts Meredith about what she did to Damon. He tells her Damon ingests vervane daily to build up an immunity so he woke up pretty soon. They see Bill Forbes (Caroline's Dad) admitted to the hospital. He's not going to make it so Meredith injects him with Damon's blood. She confesses her big secret to Alaric. She cheats as a doctor and uses vampire blood to save her patients.
Elena removes the last piece of wood from Stefan. He remarks at how she's changed and she's much tougher than she used to be. She tells him that he's not the only one that changed. In the spirit of the moment, she feels the urge to confess that she and Damon kissed. And surprisingly, Stefan reacts. He's speechless, a reaction she was not expecting. He walks away from her without a word. She never lets anything just go and begs him to say something. Another unexpected reaction, he genuinely apologizes for kidnapping her. But he really doesn't want her to lie to him especially today with Bonnie's mom because that put everyone in danger. He looks genuinely saddened that Klaus was right, he has nothing left. She tells him she didn't plan on kissing Damon. He responds, "You're better than him, Elena. You're better than both of us." He drives away.
Bonnie informs Abby that Jamie is safe. She doesn't understand why she's willing to do so much for Jamie and not for her. Abby tells her that she will do anything to help her. Bonnie doesn't trust her and she has no magic so it doesn't matter. But Abby tells her that there may be a way for her to get her magic back. She doesn't necessarily want it, but if Bonnie needs it, she'll do it.
At the hospital, Tyler visits Bill and is glad he's okay. He's thrilled that he changed and broke the sire bond. But Bill tells him he's only done it once and he has to do it until it's painless so he has a long way to go. Tyler can't do it, but Bill threatens him that unless he has his free will back, he's not going near Caroline.
Alaric reveals to Meredith that he's a vampire and has his 'immortal' ring which is how he survived the car accident. They go to kiss and Elena walks in. Cock block much? Meredith leaves and Alaric apologizes to Elena for hitting on Meredith in Jenna's house. But Elena tells him that he became family as soon as he decided to stay to take care of them and she is glad that he's moving on as it is time for them all to do so.
Stefan arrives home to see Damon and figures out that Damon succeeded in hiding at least one of the coffins. Damon asks if Elena's okay and Stefan decks him. Damon assumes he and Elena must've had a 'heart to heart' where she revealed their kiss. Damon, wisely changes the subject and shows Stefan the dagger. "What'd you do," Stefan asks.
Klaus, helped by his minion, arranges the coffins in his home happy to have his family back but he still has his mission in front of him. Minion asks what the next step is but he's staked through the back. ELIJAH!!!!!!!!!!!! (Yes, I squealed like a little girl when I saw him). And Elijah asks the question "What'd I miss?" Oh Elijah, I'd get comfortable if you want to hear that story.
