Come with me. Damon, Elena is in there waiting for the Gilbert ring to bring Jeremy back to life
Damon: Ok. Fine. Drink this. Elena: We need a cover story, right? Elena: When our parents died. Everyone is dead. He helped me. I should go tell my mom. I think her denial is the one thing protecting her from letting it all in
Caroline: She can't stay like that forever
Stefan: I know, but I don't want to be the one to break her out of it, not until we know that Bonnie is safe, not until we get Damon over here to, you know...
Caroline: Use the sire bond to convince her that everything is ok? If you burn down the house, it'll be gone. It's every supernatural being over there
Bonnie: Once the veil is dropped, the other side doesn't exist anymore. Jeremy is dead, Tyler. No, Matt. Now
[Gilbert's House]
(Damon and Stefan are still outside)
Damon: I mean, the whole flight back home, all she could talk about was how she's the one that can drop the veil between this side and the other side
Stefan: Drop the veil? Shane appears)
Shane: Did you tell them? She killed Jeremy... She knew that he wanted to die so that he could find peace, be reunited with his one true love. Silas needs you. Silas: It was Silas. So she created the other side as a purgatory for all supernatural beings, ensuring that if he died, he'd end up there forever. There's a chance. They say no one has seen him. They're gonna come back. Vaughn: New Orleans. We need magic. We need to make plans, lists. We're not gonna be able to leave him in there for much longer
Stefan: Yeah. What about the 12 people that died on the Young farm? Where'd Katherine find her?
Plan: A: Bonnie; Q: Who agrees to help Shane by killing twelve more people? A: the proper magic; Q: What does Bonnie need to kill twelve more people to get? A: the veil; Q: What must be broken to bring back the dead? A: life; Q: What will every supernatural being that has died come back to if the veil is broken? A: Silas; Q: Who is trapped on the other side of the veil? A: his true love; Q: Who will Silas be reunited with when he dies? A: her plans; Q: What does Bonnie tell everyone about? A: a terrible idea; Q: What do the other characters think of Bonnie's plan? A: Caroline; Q: Who tries to reach Tyler but is unsuccessful? A: a hard time; Q: How does Matt react to Jeremy's death? A: Rebekah; Q: Who leaves Vaughn to die in a cave? A: no one; Q: Who is safe from Silas? A: Damon; Q: Who makes Elena shut off her humanity? A: the switch; Q: What does Elena flip to burn down the Gilbert house? A: Gilbert; Q: Whose house does Elena burn down to cover up Jeremy's death? A: Mystic Falls; Q: Where does Silas return to after Elena burns down the Gilbert house? A: the group; Q: Who does Silas return to Mystic Falls with? Summary: After much denial, Elena realizes that Jeremy is truly dead. Bonnie agrees to help Shane by killing twelve more people to get the proper magic needed to break the veil between this realm and where all supernatural beings go when they die. If this veil is broken successfully, every supernatural being that has died will come back to life. Also, with the veil broken, Silas will no longer be trapped on the otherside when he dies, thus finally being able to be reunited with his true love. When Bonnie tells everyone about her plans, they all tell her it's a terrible idea. Caroline tries to reach Tyler but is unsuccessful. Matt has a hard time with Jeremy's death. Rebekah leaves Vaughn to die in a cave after he warns her that no one is safe from Silas. Damon makes Elena shut off her humanity because the pain of losing Jeremy is too much for her. After she flips the switch, Elena burns down the Gilbert house as a cover story for Jeremy's death. Disguised as Shane, Silas returns back to Mystic Falls with the group.
