TEXT: [Salvatore's house] (Damon in in his bed and hears Elijah's conversation with Elena and Stefan. He gets p to rejoins them) Elijah: Tonight is the full moon. We should assume that Klaus is prepared to break the curse Stefan: Elena said that the Sun and the Moon curse is fake? That it's actually just a curse placed on Klaus Elijah: Klaus is a vampire born of a werewolf bloodline. The curse has kept his werewolf aspect from manifesting. But if he breaks it... He'll be a true hybrid (Damon rejoins them) Damon: Then why are we letting him break the curse? We can kill him today. With Bonnie Stefan: Damon... Elena: No. Bonnie can't use that much power without dying Damon: I'll write her a great eulogy Elena: It's not an option, Damon Stefan: All right, how do we break this curse? Elijah: Well, the ritual itself is relatively straightforward. The ingredients, so to speak, you already know Stefan: The moonstone Elijah: A witch will channel the power of the full moon to release the spell that's bound within the stone. After that, Klaus, being both werewolf and vampire, will sacrifice one of each Elena: And where do I fit into it? Elijah: The final part of the ritual (Elijah takes a wooden box from the shelf) Elijah: Klaus must drink the blood of the doppelganger... To the point of your death (Damon looks at Elena. Stefan takes Elena's hand. She looks at him. He opens the box and takes a jar from it) Elena: And that's where you come in Elijah: This is an elixir that I acquired some 500 years ago for Katerina. It possesses mystical properties of resuscitation Elena: So I'll be dead? Elijah: And then you won't Damon: That's your plan? A magical witch potion with no expiration date? (He looks at Elena) Damon: You want to come back to life, what about John's ring? Elijah: Those rings only
SUMMARY:
Elijah tells Elena that the way to break the curse involves sacrificing a vampire and a werewolf. Maddox injures Carol Lockwood to make Tyler return to town, after which he and Greta kidnap Caroline and Tyler. Damon forces Elena to drink his blood so she will "survive" the sacrifice. Alaric returns as himself and gives the message from Klaus that the ritual will happen that night. Jenna forgives him. Damon realizes that if Klaus doesn't have a werewolf, he will be unable to complete the ritual, and Elena will have another month. He rescues Caroline and Tyler from the tomb and kills Maddox. Klaus takes Elena from the boarding house to begin the ritual. Damon informs Klaus that he has rescued the vampire and werewolf he needs for the ritual, but Klaus says he has backups. At the site of the ritual, Elena realizes that Klaus has turned Jenna and is using her as the vampire. Katherine makes Damon aware of a wolf bite he got from Tyler during his transformation.
