TEXT: [Salvatore's House] (Bonnie is with Jeremy) Bonnie: It was supposed to be a nice family event. Just stopped in to see my dad. Then Silas showed up. He said he was testing how powerful his mind control had become Silas: Nobody make a sound or move a muscle Bonnie: The entire town did exactly what he said. He didn't want any witnesses, so he told them to forget what he did. They watched my dad die, and they couldn't do anything or tell anyone. What are you gonna do? You gonna hug me? Jeremy: I want to Bonnie: But you can't. You can't touch me, and I can't touch you because I'm dead just like my dad except he's not supernatural, so I don't get to see him on the other side. He's just dead. Silas is using his mind control to find Katherine. He told everyone in the town square to keep an eye out for anyone that looks like Elena. Whatever he wants with Katherine... We can't let him have it [Middle of the Road] (Katherine comes out of the woods and stops a car. A woman comes out) Woman: You ok, hun? You're gonna get yourself sick out here Katherine: Thank you so much for stopping Woman: You ok just like Elena Gilbert Katherine: Actually, I'm much prettier Woman: Katherine Pierce, right? I'm supposed to be keeping my eye out for you (She sprays something in Katherine's eyes. She screams and then assaults the woman and hits her) Katherine: Damn it! Unh! (Matt comes out of the woods, holding her at gunpoint) Matt: Hurts, doesn't it? Not as much as this will Hallucination [A quarry] (Stefan and Elena are together) Elena: We could be doing anything right now, Stefan, be anywhere. Why here, why this? Stefan: These are the good moments, the simple ones, the ones that matter. These are the moments that keep me from falling apart Elena: This can't last forever. You're just distracting yourself (Suddenly, she coughs water)
SUMMARY:
Underwater, Stefan has hallucinations of Damon telling him to turn off his humanity in order to get out. At Whittemore, Elena and Caroline try to figure out how Megan knew Elena's father and why her murder was covered up by the school. The autopsy report reveals that a mysterious professor covered up the true cause of death. Jeremy and Matt go on the run with Katherine with Silas on their tail. Caroline bonds with Jesse over their bad relationships. Elena, under the control of Silas, ties Damon up and attempts to kill him, but by focusing on the negative feeling she's had about Stefan all summer she returns to normal before she can carry out Silas' wishes. She finds out the truth about Stefan and temporarily drops out of college to go look for him. Elena tells Damon that even though Stefan will be there she will still love him. Elena, Damon and Sheriff Forbes find Stefan's safe, but instead of Stefan, they find a dead body, meaning Stefan was very hungry and could have turned off his humanity.
