TEXT: [PREVIOUSLY_ON] Elena: I don't know what we were or what we're supposed to be, but I've never felt more alive. Jo: In our coven's tradition after their 22nd birthday, the twins merge their strength. The weaker one dies. Tyler: I'll find a way. I'm not gonna let you die. Caroline: I hate you for ruining our friendship, and I think that I deserve better than that. Stefan (V.O.): I haven't been there for her. Caroline needed me, and I ran away. Caroline: You're dying, Mom, and we're out of options, which is why I gave my blood to a cancer patient, and I healed him. I am not ready to lose you now. I want you to live for me. Caroline: (to Liz) Everything's gonna be okay. [SCENE_BREAK] [ CAROLINE'S HOUSE ] (Caroline wakes hearing some noise and goes downstairs. Suddenly Colin appears.) Colin: Caroline Forbes. Caroline: Colin. Colin: What the hell did you do to me? (After a while) Stefan: Hey. Caroline: Moms still sleeping don't wake her up. Stefan: What Happened? Caroline: I Don't know. H-he was fine when we left him at Duke, remember? He was running around and pain-free and scarfing down all that disgusting vending machine food. Stefan: Yeah? Well, clearly, he's not fine now. Wait. I thought you compelled him to forget everything after you fed him your blood. How did he find you? Caroline: I don't know. Stefan: What if this blood isn't even his? Is there any chance that your mom signed the house over to you? Caroline: I don't know. Maybe. She's been running around like crazy, saying she need to get her ducks in a row or... (Stefan opens the window Colin's face Starts to burn) Stefan: He's a vampire, which means after you fed him your blood... Caroline: He died. [SCENE_BREAK] Woke Up With a Monster [SCENE_BREAK]
SUMMARY:
Caroline is woken up by Colin, the patient she gave her blood to. Stefan and Caroline learn that he has become a vampire. Liv and Luke's father arrives to celebrate their birthday. They propose him to avoid the merge because none of them wants the other to die. In the hospital, Caroline and Stefan realize that Colin is a vampire but is not cured of his cancer. The tumor expanded and while he is a vampire, he can still feel the pain of the tumor growing. Caroline's mom realises that she will go through the same as Caroline fed her her blood. Jo suggests a full blood transfusion but it fails. Tyler, who now knows the twins are ready for the merge (as they are 22 years old), tries to wake Kai up, but is stopped by Damon. Kai helps Liz taking all the magic from her body but with the condition that the merge is set for that night. Meanwhile, Liz is having a heart attack and Elena is helping her. Mr Parker deceives the twins and begins to merge them, but Tyler comes just in time and hits him. Luke promises Liv he will come back and go and look for Kai. Kai and Jo begin the merge, although she is not ready yet. Luke stops the merge and convinces Kai to do it with him. Damon compels a doctor to save Liz's life, but she dies. Caroline arrives in that moment and cries on her mother's body. Before dying, Liz has a vision in which she sees her daughter with a bloody face, and then mysteriously wakes up. After the merge, Jo witnesses Luke and Kai fainting. While Jo is crying and holding her brother in her arms, he dies and she realizes that Kai has won the merge.
