TEXT: [PREVIOUSLY_ON] Woman: Who are you? Bonnie: Who are you? Damon: Ha ha ha! Oh, you made it! Bonnie: There. Stop. Damon: Oh, my God. That's my mother. Kai: This merge happened with my brother Luke, and I won, so when I absorbed Luke's magic, I must have gotten some of his qualities like empathy. Caroline: I think we both know I never really hated you. I kissed Stefan. I want to talk to him about it, but if it's bad, I feel like he won't be honest. Stefan: We'll talk when all of this is over. Pastor: We are here today to pay our respect to sheriff Elizabeth Forbes. Elena: You're talking about flipping the humanity switch. Caroline: I just need the pain to be gone. Elena: If Stefan had said the right thing earlier, would that have changed your mind? Caroline: My mom is dead, Elena. Elena: I'm not gonna let you do this. (Caroline breaks Elena's neck) Caroline: (emotionless) That's not your choice to make. [SCENE_BREAK] [ SCULL BAR ] (Music playing. Caroline is sitting at the bar stretches out her hand while holding a empty glass; she is trying to get the bartenders attention) Caroline: Hello! I'm empty. Fill, please. Bartender: I think you've had enough. (Caroline puts her glass down) Caroline: Look at my face. This is me straining to care less about what you think. (She stares intently into the bartenders eyes) Caroline: Nope. I can't. Bartender: Ok. I'm gonna call you a cab. (The bartender turns to leave; Caroline grabs his wrist) Caroline: Here's the thing. My mom just died as in I just put her dead, cancer-riddled body into the ground 4 hours and 32 minutes ago. Bartender: I'm so sorry for your loss. Caroline: Oh, no, no, no. I don't care about that. I'm just saying that my feet have been crammed in the world
SUMMARY:
After switching off her humanity, Caroline makes out with Liam outside of a bar and feeds off of him. She tells Bonnie and Elena that she will avoid killing anyone if they give her a year to live freely without her pain, and they initially agree. Kai refuses to give Damon information about his mother unless he helps Kai apologize to Bonnie in order to alleviate Kai's guilt. Caroline invites Liam and Enzo to a rave, and Elena, Bonnie, and Stefan come to confront Caroline. Damon calls Bonnie, but after she refuses to talk to Kai, Damon and Kai show up and Kai attempts to apologize to her. Bonnie is coping with traumatic memories from her time in the prison world and is furious with Damon for forcing her to see Kai, who she believes is lying. After using her magic to punish Damon by forcing him to endure the wounds that Kai inflicted on her, she realizes that her experiences have changed her and finally calls Jeremy, telling him that she needs time to work things out. Stefan admits his feelings to Caroline and begs her to switch on her humanity; for a moment Caroline wavers and he knows that there is a chance to bring back the old Caroline. Kai reveals that Damon's mother is a vampire and was imprisoned by the Gemini coven after she faked her own death and went on a worldwide killing spree. In retaliation for Stefan's attempt to break through to her, Caroline kidnaps Sarah Salvatore and compels Liam to perform 'surgery' on her in the form of removing her organs. She tells Stefan that she will spare Sarah's life if Stefan turns off his humanity. Elena manages to stop Liam from cutting out Sarah's heart just as Stefan agrees to Caroline's demands and shuts off his humanity.
