We all know Damon isn’t usually very sentimental, except when it comes to trying to win Elena from Stefan, trying to win Elena back, or when it comes to the sheriff. So, in the moments when Damon is a little more touchy-feely than usual, we all glue our eyes to the television and begin the process of drooling over our favorite blue-eyed vampire.
But this week, Damon’s dredging up some memories from the past. He promised Sheriff Forbes he would write her eulogy, because he never even attended his own mother’s funeral. As the process of eulogy writing goes, Damon is not the best, throwing paper after paper into the fire. But, can you blame him? The Sheriff was sort of like Damon’s stand-in mother/best friend/wise human sage. She was the last human he cared about, because its not like he ever cared about Matt or Tyler, and Jeremy’s a vampire hunter so he doesn’t count.
Bonnie has finally figured out how to get back home. She followed Damon’s ghostly tip and was able to suck the magic out of some rock. Strange, but true. So, at 12:58, during the eclipse in the prison-world, she’ll be returning home. What exactly this will mean for Kai, I’m not sure, but I can’t wait to find out.
As Kai so kindly phrases it, “There’s an issue I’ve been worried about since the merge, because we didn’t really do it right. You know, the whole, ‘You’re not my twin. Hey, that’s OK. Close enough’ plan?” Him and Jo are both sick. Did anyone immediately think pregnant with Alaric’s baby when they saw Jo throwing up? Whoops. What’s really happening is Kai is dying because he was never meant to merge with Luke. So, now the entire coven is dying. See how that works? Me either, just go with it.
Speaking of siblings, Stefan goes to Damon to ask for advice on his (unfortunate) budding romance with Caroline. “I need you to not be a dick about it, because I have no one else to ask.” How sweet. Damon’s advice? “She’s not the one, if she was you wouldn’t have to ask. You’ve been in love twice in your life Stefan, setting aside that it was technically the same face, does this feel like that?” Stefan’s face says it doesn’t. “Not all love is true love, brother.” Thank you, Damon. Someone had to say it and coming from you Stefan might listen.
Because Kai is sick and his magic controls all the coven’s magic (including the magic that keeps the prison worlds together, note: worlds), Bonnie has been propelled into some frozen tundra in 1903. Up side, she just saw the Aurora Borealis. It’s the little things in life, ya know?
Also, I would just like to set the record straight and say that my original hunch was right: Jo is pregnant! And, apparently, now engaged. Alaric was so cute all, “This isn’t a pity proposal, I love you, and our baby,” and what not.
Caroline decides to solve her problems but flipping her humanity switch and snapping Elena’s neck. Little did she know, Stefan was on his way over to tell her he (somethings) her. But, guess who’s back: Bonnie! And potentially Stefan and Damon’s mother?
We’ll find out next week:
