TEXT: [PREVIOUSLY_ON] Caroline: If Stefan wants to save Sarah's life, all he has to do is shut his humanity off. Damon: Stefan without his humanity is one artery away from Stefan the ripper. Elena: Your mother is alive? Damon: In a prison world of 1903. Lily: (confused) And you believe that I can reconnect Stefan with his humanity? Damon: (smacks the table and stands up) Pack your bags. Lily: (stands up as well) Wonderful! (She laughs in excitement) I'll alert the others, hmm? Damon: She has a vampire dollhouse. Damon: They're not coming. Lily: They are my family. Damon: I will leave you here to rot. We'll come back for them. Bonnie: (whispering) We're never going back there, right? Damon: No! We're not! Enzo: You've been a pawn in a game that I've now lost interest in playing. You're no ordinary girl, Sarah Salvatore. Sarah: Why would you call me that? Bonnie: I have something for you. Damon: The cure to vampirism. Bonnie: I knew you wanted it for Elena. Damon: (stunned) What if I don't want it for her now? [SCENE_BREAK] [ SCULL BAR ] (It's late, and the bar has just closed for the night. A bartender has almost finished cleaning up before he can go home for the night, and just as he shuts off the lights, he hears a whooshing sound behind him. When he turns around, the chair he has just stacked on top of the table is back on the floor, which confuses him) Bartender: (weirded out) OK... (He puts the chair back up on the table, but when he turns around, a liquor bottle has been knocked over on the bar by an invisible invisible force, and the alcohol is pouring itself all over the floor) Bartender: (annoyed) Oh, come on. (He walks toward the bar) OK
SUMMARY:
Caroline and Stefan have still switched off their humanity. They are terrorizing and killing the people at Whitmore's. Matt and Tyler are being tortured by them, Matt ends up in the hospital. Meanwhile, Elena and Damon are having a pleasant morning. They're enjoying breakfast made by Lily. Damon has come up with a plan to bring Stefan and Caroline back which involves Lily (the Salvatore's mother) convincing Stefan to turn his humanity back on and then Stefan can convince Caroline to switch it back on too. Enzo has taken Sarah from the hospital and tries to bring her to the Salvatore house, but when he sees Lily, he runs away in shock. Turns out that when Enzo was living in South Hampton, he was suffering from consumption until he met Lily, who fed him with vampire blood so then after he died (of consumption) he became a vampire. In the present day, Lily tells Damon that she will help him to bring back Stefan but in return he has to give her the ascendant so she can bring her "other family" back. When Lily and Damon go to the school bar, she says just the right words to get Stefan to flip his switch (even though Damon told her exactly what to say). Now Stefan has to track down Caroline and get her to flip the switch, too. Back at the hospital, Matt refuses Elena's blood. Once he's stitched up by conventional medicine, he talks to Elena about how much he hates vampires and doesn't want to rely on them. Finally, Damon and Elena talk about life and how Elena misses being human and she's sad because of the fact that she is a vampire and she will never be able to create a family. Finally, Jo explains how bad it is that Damon gave Lily the ascendant because Lily's "family members" and she are all witches that absorb magic from others, just like Kai, but were turned into vampires making a type of hybrid. It is explained that they were locked inside the prison world because they were perceived as too dangerous and worthless.
