The Vampire Diaries (2009–2017): Season 2, Episode 8 - Rose - full transcript

Previously
on "the vampire diaries"...

To get home, we'll
harness the power

Of the eclipse using
a mystical relic.

Elena: What
about bonnie?

Damon: She sacrificed
herself so i could
come back.

Where did you
put your magic?

I put it
somewhere safe?

I hate you because
if i don't hate you

Then i have
to hate myself,

And i deserve better
than that.

Enzo: She hates because
she's got a thing



For you, mate.

Liam: I got a look
at lady whitmore's labs.

It turns out the injury
doesn't exist anymore.

You're not just a liar,
but you're a liar
with secrets.

I'm older than you.

By 5 minutes.

Just trying to check
what page we're on.

Luke: When the coven
calls us home,

They don't care if
we're in love or not.

You sound like
dad, and that's
not a compliment.

[children screaming]

[thumping, crashing]

Man: Josette.

Where are they?



[screaming]

[moans]

[sobbing]

Oh, jo.
Where are they?
I know you can hear me.

[dripping]

Jo?

Where are they, jo?

Hey. Everything's
gonna be ok, all right?

Everybody's just
playing a game.

You guys want
to play a game?

You want to play
hide-and-seek?

Shh. Ok.

Come on out, jo.

You know i won't
kill you.

Wakey, wakey.

Come here.

Ohh.

How did i...

Get so lucky
to arrive here

On a private flight
piloted by yours truly?

Oh, you would have been
superimpressed

With my flying skills,
but i'd already
knocked you out

With painkillers.

Where are we?

Portland, oregon,
stomping grounds

Of courtney love,
tonya harding,

And tons of other
awesome people.

You could have
brought me anywhere

In the world,
and you took me to portland?

This is where
i grew up.

Ow!

I've been counting
eclipses since i was

Imprisoned
on this empty planet,

And according to my
running tally,
i've been here

For 6,771 supernaturally
repeating days,

So in the real world,
which we'll never
get back to because

You sent your magic away
in a teddy bear,

Today's my favorite day
of the year.

And what day is that?

Thanksgiving.

I'm cooking
you dinner.

[music playing]

I'm a vampire.

I don't know. Maybe
a little less emphasis
on vampire.

I'm...A vampire.

I mean, there's only
so many ways you
can say it.

Well, maybe liam
will stop digging

Into lady whitmore's
miraculous recovery,

And you won't
have to complain.

Or he'll keep digging,
realize that i force-fed

Her my vampire blood,
and then just bail.

Ok. You know all of this
can go away with one
fell mind wipe.

So lie and lie again
and again and again.

Ok. If you want to
tell him the truth,

I support you 100%,

But if you're rushing
into this to escape

Some conflicted feelings
over a certain ex

Who just came back
into your life,

Then i suggest
you keep your fangs
to yourself.

-Jo.
-Hi.

Where's alaric?

Don't kill
the messenger.

Something about
an impromptu
guys' weekend.

You can't miss
friendsgiving.

I mean, matt and jeremy
are already cleaning up

The whole tripp mess,
and caroline's mom
has to work.

We're already low
on friends as it is.

Well, if it's
any consolation,

Our thanksgiving was
roadside chili.

Hey. Were you invited
to friendsgiving?

Of course. Caroline
demanded i bring
string beans.

Huh.

Why? Were you
not invited?

-Nope.
-Ooh, boy.

You messed with
the wrong girl's
feelings. Heh heh.

Elena: What do you
mean bonnie's

In the prison world?

Damon said that
she wasn't there,

That she found peace
with--

Why didn't he tell
me this?

Why wouldn't i consult
you in a decision that

Might permanently
change your life?

Hmm. I wonder.

He didn't want to
get your hopes up.

He honestly thought
bonnie died trying
to free him.

If she sent her
teddy bear over,

It could mean
she's still--

Bonnie's still alive?

Oh, my god!

Yeah. So we're in
portland right now,

Trying to track down
some gemini thing.

Ascendant.

This is amazing.

Alaric, you might
want to keep the news
to yourself.

I checked this
lead 4 months ago.

It was a dead end.

Stefan sends
his love.

Wait. What--

Bonnie's alive?

Hee hee!

Alaric: Is that the reason
caroline assigned me

The turkey
and the cranberries?
Stefan wasn't invited.

See what you did?
Now we're pulling
your weight.

I really hope you
figure this out
before christmas.

Yeah. Well, i'm glad
you're both finding
amusement in this.

Why don't you
just date her,

Put us all out
of our misery?

Because i don't think
about her that way.
She's my friend.

Who would make
a great girlfriend.

Look. One, she's
hot objectively.

Two, she puts
up with you.

Big plus. 3, very,
very well organized.

Organizational
skills?

There are no drawbacks
to this woman, stefan.

Eh, she did
sleep with you.

See? Another plus.

Oh! Look.
We're here.

Behold the gemini coven
exactly how it looked

4 months ago.

Ah. Memories.

Pitter-patter of little
siblings' feet,

Witchy-woo,
chanting in the air,

Mom and dad calling me
an abomination.

Why did you want
to come back here?

Because i can finally
show it to someone.

My coven goes out
of their way to make sure

No one finds us,
but since they're not here

To be paranoid
freak shows,

Mi casa es su casa.

Come on.

Like i said, uh,
3,000 miles ago,

It's not here.

Can we, uh, go
home now, please?

You know what?
Check the gps again.

Just because we
don't see anything
doesn't

Mean it doesn't
exist.

Not unlike caroline's
feelings for stefan.

Hilarious.
Keep them coming.

[high voice]
oh, no. Is stefan
feeling sensitive

About ruining
his friendship
with caroline?

She really liked him,
and he broke her heart.

See, stefan?

Even the bear knew.

I saw that
from a mile away,

And my brain's made
of cotton.

Give me this.

[normal voice]
ms. Cuddles one,

Invisible
creepy mansion zero.

[music playing]

Where do you want
the stuffing?

Well, hello
to you, too.

Jo: I'll take that.

Hi. I'm jo.

You look--have
we met before?

Liv, and no,
but you're dating

My occult
studies professor,

Which i guess
somehow earned you

An invite for
thanksgiving dinner.

Nice to meet you, too.

Where's luke?

He's outside testing
a new filter
on his phone.

He's making me
this stupid
retrospective video

For our birthday.

22. Go us.

[mouths]
what's with her?

Liam, hey.
You're here.

Bearing the white wine
of surrender.

I owe you an apology.

I checked
lady whitmore's
medical records again,

And everything
was normal,

Which i would have known
if i had double-checked

Them before making
accusations that

Were unfounded,
baseless, dickish.

Is that enough
adjectives?

Getting there.

Jo: Am i glad to see you.

You, too, liam.

Come on.

Would you mind?

-Yeah.
-Thanks.

Hey. Um, did you...

Risk my career switching
lady whitmore's

Medical chart?

I'm glad it worked.

Yeah. Thank you.

[doorbell rings]

Stefan: Anybody want
to take a stab at how

Bonnie's teddy bear
undid whatever was
cloaking this place?

He said
without laughing.

Jo told me she
got rid of her magic

By putting it away
for safekeeping.

Maybe bonnie put her
magic away in this.

Why would bonnie put her
magic in ms. Cuddles?

To keep kai from
using her to get out.

Can't say
i miss that.

It's all yours,
brother.

[music playing]

That smells great.

Not exactly
a turkey dinner,

But it's what my family
had in the fridge
on may 10, 1994.

Don't touch that.

Heh. Your pager?
Why?

Because it's brand-new,
looks cool,

And i don't want you
to bust it.

Listen, kai.
My magic's gone,

Which means we will be
stuck here forever.

Why don't we just divide
the world in half

And go
our separate ways?

I get it.

I knocked you out,
kidnapped you

Against your will.

You don't see i'm
trying to apologize?

I will never trust you

Or like you or enjoy
your company

For so much
as one second,

So just quit trying.

Just let me leave
here unharmed.

Fine. Can we at least
have one last
dinner conversation

Before my eternity
of aloneness resumes?

So you agree?

One last dinner,
and then we peacefully

Go our separate ways.

In the spirit of
thanksgiving, i'll even
let you take my car.

How can i help?

All right!
If everyone could gather

Around the table
at their assigned seats,

Then, um--

Oh. Sorry i'm late.

We will each share
something that we are

Thankful for
in 100 words or less, so...

Do you want a drink?

Once we sit, there's
a good chance caroline

Won't let anyone get up.

I'm not really
in the mood.

Did i do something
to piss you off?

No, tyler.
You didn't.

Luke: Uh, anyone want
to see some embarrassing
baby videos of liv?

Oh. You know what?
Now would actually be

An excellent time just to
shut down anything

With an on-off button.

Young jo: Whoever wins
has to make...

Caroline: No. Please let
the food get cold.

Whatever that is
is far more important.

Young jo: Happy birthday!
Wave to me!

-Hi, josie.
-Hi, josie.

Young jo:
How old are you?

Twins: 4.

How do you add that?

You guys want to
do some numbers?

Ok. What's one plus one?

Two!

Two plus two?

-4!
-Nice.

What are you watching?

Elena: That kind of
sounds like your voice.

That is my voice.

I took that video
18 years ago

At a birthday party
for the twins.

Oh, my god.

Lukas and olivia?

Jo as in josette?

Elena: Hang on.
You guys know each other?

I'm their sister.

Alaric: Jo lived here.

There's a drawer inside
full of stuff,

Newspaper articles
about jo's medical clamp,

Pictures
of her as a kid,

Pictures of her
as a teenager.

Hold, please. Rewind.

That's kai
from planet 1994.

Stefan: Wait.
Jo is his sister?

Either that,
or they both have a thing

For cosby sweaters.

Man: I didn't know
i had guests.

You've met kai?

Met him?
Watched him die,

Watched him
come back to life.

Why? You know him?

Yeah. He's my son.

I'm joshua parker.

Damon salvatore.

Invisique.

What the hell
just happened?

I don't know.

What's wrong
with you guys?

They can't see you
anymore, damon,

Which means they also
can't see this.

Ohh! No!

Caroline: So if you
don't know each other,

Then how did you all
just happen to end up

At the same tiny
liberal arts school?

We had a family friend
here--sheila bennett.

Elena: You knew
bonnie's grams?

She took me
under her wing.

She also helped
my family put kai away.

Kai? Wh--kai
as in damon's kai?

As in our brother,
my twin.

There are two sets
of twins in your family?

Luke: Yeah, there were
until my coven put kai
in a prison world.

Now there's just
luke and me.

I'm sorry.
Did you say coven?

Oh, my god.
Liam...

Is still here.

Tyler: I think
he meant oven.

Yeah.

Oh, look! We don't
have a wine opener

On the table.

Liam, you have
a wine opener in your room.

Why don't you get it?

Take your time.

As you were saying,
you put kai away?

Kai killed 4
of our bothers and sisters

To make a point,
but he was really

Targeting
lukas and olivia.

Why them?

Because in our coven,
twins are in line

To be leaders.

Hence our lame-ass
name--gemini.

Kai wanted to be
the leader,

But that wasn't
possible

If lukas and olivia
were alive.

So i protected
them with magic.

Which just pissed
him off more.

Where are they?

My brother was born
without his own magic.

He can only draw
it from others.

It made him feel
like a freak.

My parents saw him
acting out,

Isolating himself,
and they realized that

He'd never be capable
of leading our coven,

So he kept having children
until another set

Of twins were born.

[whimpers]

Kai figured it out,
and he snapped.

Where are they?

Unh!

Aah!

[sobbing]

[moans]

Oh. Ohh.

Just need some
information.

Not looking to
make enemies.

Funny way of showing
it, buddy.

You were trapped
with kai.

I need to know
how you got out.

Ohh.

Strangest 4 months
of my life.

That whole repeating
the day thing,

Phew, disconcerting.

Is kai still there?

Yeah, he is
with my friend bonnie,

Which leads me
to why i'm here.

Does kai know
how to escape?

Look. I'll tell you
everything you want
to know,

But first, i need
something from you.

It's round,
about yea big,

A bunch of little gears
and wheels and things.

It's a lot harder to
describe than i thought.

The ascendant.

Yeah. You know it.
Where is it?

Why would i give you
the key to my son's prison?

Because i'll
say please.

Do you have any idea
what it feels like to

Come home and find
4 of your children dead,

Another one impaled,
two running for their lives?

Do you think that image
has ever left my mind?

He was a psychopath,
so they sent him away.

Kai went to his prison,
jo dodged a bullet,

And now the leadership
falls on us.

Ok. Well, now that we've
all gotten to know each

Other a little bit
better, could someone

Please pass
the dinner rolls?

Liv: Sorry that my
family drama isn't

Appropriate dinner
conversation, caroline.

That's not what i meant.

Liv, just...

Leave me alone.

Elena: Ok. I think i may
have missed something.

If you and liv can both
be the leaders

Of your coven, why did
she just get so upset?

Because there aren't
two leaders, are there, jo?

In our coven's
tradition,

After their 22nd birthday,

The twins merge
their strength.

The stronger one wins,
absorbing their
twin's power,

And the weaker
of the two...

The weaker
of the two what?

The weaker one dies.

Caroline's out
looking for you.

She wanted
to apologize.

Why didn't you
tell me?

What?

That my coven requires
my brother and me

To merge
when we turn 22?

Because that's not
totally screwed up.

You're talking to a guy
with a gene that turns
him into a wolf.

Look. If you don't want
to merge, then don't.

Your coven doesn't
control you.

My coven needs
a leader.

You don't understand
that because you're

Not one of us.

You're not even supposed
to be in my life.

Let me help you.

You can't help me.

Why do you think
i'm trying to get
rid of you?

When i look at you...

I feel everything
i don't get to have.

I either die
in the merge,

Or i get to live
with the fact that

I killed my own brother.

So tell me, tyler, how
can you help with that?

So when you say merge,
you don't actually

Mean merge, do you?

That's exactly
what i mean.

If kai gets out,
he'll head straight for jo.

His ability to siphon
magic will overwhelm jo,

And she will die,
and our coven will be left

To the whims
of a madman.

Which is now moot thanks
to blond and blonder,

Thank goodness.

Look. Let's talk
about this ascendant.

I won't let
him out, damon.

All right. I wasn't
gonna say anything

Because you're
his dad and all,

But if he gets out,
i'll just kill him.

It's that simple.

I've watched jo
her whole life.

She's done well
on her own, survived war,

Become a doctor,
but if jo merges with kai,

She will cease to exist.

Kai won't just be
our coven's problem.

He'll be everyone's
problem.

I think i met
your dad.

Well, that's improbable
considering he lives
in portland.

Believe it or not, i'm
actually in portland.

Ric, you need to tell
me what's going
on right now.

Elena: Damon's gone,
as in into thin air?

Oop. Careful.
You just sounded

Genuinely concerned
for my brother.

I don't have feelings
for him anymore.

That doesn't mean
i want him to blink

Out of existence.

He didn't. It's some
sort of cloaking spell.

Alaric's on the phone
with jo trying to figure
out how to break it.

And to think we could
have all been sitting

Around stuffed,
playing board games.

So just to be clear,
jo was invited

To friendsgiving,
but i wasn't.

Friend code states that
in matters such as yours

And caroline's i must,
with no exception, take

The side
of my best friend.

And you should just
kiss and make up.
It's getting weird.

You're just mad because
no one knew how to
carve the turkey.

Heh.

How did you know that
you could trust me?

Trust you with what?

When you were
honest with me

About what you were.

How did you know that
you could trust me

With such a huge secret?

It's easy.

I was in love with you.

You owe me dinner.

Ric, listen to me.

If my dad knows
that you want to
open kai's world,

He'll think you're
going to free him.

He's going to retaliate.

Phesmatos
incendere ad pulvox.

What the hell
are you doing?

And i hate to break
it to you, ric,

But you traveled
3,000 miles for nothing.

The ascendant's with me.

You got to be
kidding me, right?

[high-pitched frequency]

Jo? You ok?

Something's wrong.

Jo?

Jo, what's wrong?

I think my dad...

[gasping]

Jo, what the hell
is going on?

Unh!

My dad's trying
to kill me.

Aah! Ohh!

What the hell is
she talking about?

Her dad's trying
to kill her?

Alaric: Jo, jo,
answer the phone.

Unh!

Ric?

Elena, what
the hell's going on?

Something's
happening to jo.

You have to find her
dad and stop him

From whatever he's
doing to her.

Well, that's gonna be
problem because even if

We could see the house
i haven't been invited in.

Invite him.

You can come in!

But we can't see
the damn house.

They need magic!

[gagging, coughing]

Crap.

Elena, we have
to do something.

Definite signs
of hemoptysis.

Shut up, liam.

Ask them if they see
an old tree stump

In the front yard?

Yeah, i see it.

Go there now!

[music playing]

Mmm. Mmm.

Really?

You've been eating
that same piece

For 45 minutes.

Is it a crime to want
to savor our last
meal together?

I had thanksgiving
dinner with you.

Now you keep up your end
of the deal and give me

Your car keys.

I should probably
teach you how
the clutch works.

It's finicky.

Quit stalling
and give me your keys.

Fine. I'm stalling.

Mmm. But don't you want
to hear how my story ends?

I've read the newspaper.

You murdered
your siblings,

And your coven
sent you to live
in this prison world.

My family sent me
to this prison world.

My father,

The great coven leader
who treated me like crap

For 22 years
and then locked me here.

It's like his--like his
kids didn't even matter.

Coven always came
first no matter what.

If kai has access
to an ascendant

And is sharing his prison
with the bennett witch,

He will eventually find
his way out.

At least, this will
keep him from merging.

You're just
gonna take out jo?

The coven comes
before family.

Unh! Ugh!

What the hell are we
gonna do with a knife?

Maybe it's jo's
version of ms. Cuddles.

[thwap]

Nice shot.

Invisique.

Well, i guess the, uh,
disappearing act's

Their shtick.

Yeah.

Hey. Anybody
hear from jo?

You need to tell
me what's going on.

You have to
get more ice.

I'm not an idiot,
elena.

I know you're lying
to me, so whatever it is,

Just tell me, please.

She's crashing!

Dr. Laughlin,
look at me.

Jo, can you
hear me? Jo!

Come on, dr. Laughlin.
Please wake up.

Check for dilation.

Holy crap.

What the--what
happened to her?

I don't know.

Call 911.
I'll start cpr.

Call 911, elena.
We need help.

She's about to die.

Liam...

Liam, there's
not enough time.

What are you doing?

Elena, your face.

It's ok. My blood
will heal her.

[gasps]

Jo?

I'm ok.

I'll get you
some water.

Elena. Elena, stop!

How did you do that?

How did you
do that?!

I'm a vampire.

You're what?

It doesn't matter
because as much as

I like you my life is
complicated enough.

So you're not gonna
remember anything

From tonight or
about lady whitmore

Or the fact that we
even dated at all.

You're gonna go home,
get some rest,

And i'll see you
at work on monday.

I'll see you
monday, elena.

Kai: Olivia, lukas?

Olivia?

Lukas?

Come out. Come out
wherever you are.

Stop!

I'll do it.

I'll merge
with you.

Just don't hurt
anyone else.

Bonnie: So jo
agreed to the merge?

Well, we need
a celestial event,

So the plan was to use
the power of the eclipse

Happening the next day.

She even gathered
our coven to help.

Young jo: The power
of the eclipse will
merge us as one.

You know what to say?

Been practicing
my whole life.

Both: Sanguinem desimilus...

Sanguinem
generis fiantus.

I don't feel
anything.

Sanguinem
desimilus...

Sanguinem
generis fiantus.

Josette, what
did you do?

Why can't
i feel your magic?

And why aren't they
saying anything?

They should be
saying something.

They should be saying
something, right?

We're merging.
This should all be
a bigger deal.

Joshua:
Sanguinem filio,

Sanguinem effurgarex
perpetuum.

Sanguinem filio,

Sanguinem effurgarex
perpetuum.

Aah! Aah!

Phesmatos filio,

Phesmatos effurgarex
perpetuum.

Kai, voice-over:
They tricked me good.

Instead of using
the power of the eclipse

For the merge, my dad
used it to send me here,

And where'd jo's
magic go?

You know, it
made zero sense.

Magic doesn't just,
like, disappear,

But then you made yours
disappear when you hid

It in ms. Cuddles,
and it hit me.

My sneaky little
twin sister

Hid her magic...

In this.

Hmm.

Still there.

Still here

And still full
of magic.

Well, it was.

I just
sucked it out.

You have magic again.

Good for you.

I also have
the ascendant.

Doesn't matter. You need
a bennett witch to
do the spell.

About that.
I've watched you

Do the spell
twice now.

I don't think i
need a bennett witch
to do the spell.

I think all i
actually need

Is bennett blood.

Unh!

Ugh!

All right.
So let's just get
this straight.

We went to the airport,
we took off all our

Clothes for security
just so i can come out

Here, have my brain
scrambled by papa kai,

Who by the way can
disappear into thin air--

Poof--only to find
jo's rusty knife
full of magic.

And we learned that
the ascendant,

I.E. The only reason
we flew our asses out here

In the first place,
is actually with jo

At whitmore 5 minutes
from where we started.

Great.

Jo said she kept it
with her to ensure

That kai would never
be released.

Genius. Great.
Then we go home.

Shotgun. Come on.

Guys, hey. We can't
do this, ok?

We need to find
another way
and one that doesn't

End up with
my girlfriend dead.

Girlfriend?

You've been on,
like, 3 dates.

Nice, damon.

What? I'm just saying
he barely knows her,

And her literal evil
twin is over there

With bonnie right now.

Guys, i will do what
i can to help,

But we're not
letting her brother
out, all right?

The ascendant is
off the table.

Ok. Get the ascendant
from jo.

Do whatever you got
to do to get it,

You understand?

I understand.

What are you doing?

What? You got
a better idea?

[yawns]

Good morning.

Where am i?

You passed out, so
i brought you home.

You kidnapped me?
Romantic.

I am protecting
you, liv.

I'm not letting you
sacrifice yourself

Because your coven
needs a leader.

They'll come after me.

Let them.

Magic doesn't work
in mystic falls,

So if your coven
wants to find you,
they'll have to do it

The old-fashioned way.

They'll have to
go through me.

I'm sorry i ruined
thanksgiving.

You'll make up
for it next year.

We'll find another
way, liv.

I'm not going
to let you die.

Hey.

Hey.

You're here.

That's good.

That actually
saves me a trip.

Needless to say,
there were leftovers.

You made me
a doggie bag.

Heh. Just because i hate
you doesn't mean i want

You to starve to death.

Besides, bonnie's alive.

You know, this is, like,
the first thanksgiving

In forever where there's
something to actually be

Thankful for, so...

Caroline, um, look.

When damon was gone,
i, um--

I pushed you away.

Yeah, i know, stefan.

You pushed
everyone away.

It's kind of
what you do.

But i pushed you
away the most.

I knew that you were
the one person who would

Sit with me
and let me cry,

And i didn't want
to cry anymore,

So i had to push you
away the most.

Thank you
for saying that.

Listen.

Enjoy the leftovers.

[music playing]

You should have
brought me with you.

Well, first, you should
have told me that bonnie

Was alive,
and then you should have

Brought me with you.

Well, ric had more
frequent flyer miles,

And ric didn't
deliberately forget

Our entire relationship.

Yeah. I deserve that.

Mm-hmm.

So you and bonnie
spent the last

4 months together?

Yeah.

What did you do?

Bicker mostly.

Cooked, ate.

We went through
a tetris phase,
but i beat it,

And she got mad.

We talked.

A lot.

Apparently there are
a lot of words

In the english language,
and bonnie knows just

About all of them.

Yep. I know this
is gonna sound
pretty strange,

But i'm really
happy that

The two of you
had each other.

She sacrificed herself
so i could come back.

Hmm.

Wow.

Because when she
wasn't talking,
she was listening.

She listened for hours
and hours and hours,

So when the opportunity
presented itself for me

To come back,
she made sure i took it.

What did you talk about?

What do you think?

I broke up with liam.

Dr. Future humanitarian
award wasn't good enough?

What went wrong?

What do you think?

Look. I'm at
a crossroads right now,

Where i could go live my
life the way i think

I probably should
and be successful

And safe
and probably very happy,

Or i could risk all that

For this tiny glimmer
of a feeling inside

That i just can't shake.

Well, robert frost,
what's it gonna be?

I don't know...

But i do know someone
who could give me some
pretty sound advice.

Any chance you'd be
willing to help me bring

My best friend
bonnie back?

Sure.

[sighs]

[pager vibrating]

What?

"i lied"?

There's no car.

The bastard
took the car.
