The Vampire Diaries (2009–2017): Season 5, Episode 18 - Resident Evil - full transcript
Both Stefan and Elena are suddenly having unsettling dreams of an alternate version of the life they might have had together. Bonnie has a disturbing encounter with Grams, who warns her ...
Previously
on "The Vampire Diaries"...
We're bad
for each other,
and we're never gonna get
to where we need to go.
We'll just end up back
here where we started.
Travelers have
the ability to keep
living inside
someone else's body.
You're a hunter.
That officially makes
you the only person
in this room
that I can trust.
You're gonna
protect Elena,
and I'm gonna help you
stop the Travelers.
I'm gonna need
some help.
The Travelers are
up to something big.
Aah!
Now they're
on the move.
Next stop...Mystic Falls.
You lose something?
Uh, yes. It's
a particularly mortifying
page from my journal.
Ah. You, uh, censor
your journal?
Pretty sure that's
against journal rules.
And I'm pretty sure
that you're not
the journal police.
Trust me,
it's really bad.
I'm officially
intrigued.
And I'm officially
not kidding.
Thank you.
I'm Elena.
I'm Stefan.
You ok?
Yeah. I just...
I just had
a really crazy dream.

@elder_man
So you broke up.
That I get.
Then you
slept together.
Not smart,
but again, I get it.
Now here's where it gets
a bit hazy for me.
You went to a parent-teacher
conference?
Jeremy was having some
trouble at school.
Right. Then the kicker.
You offer to drive her
back to campus,
and she says she can't
be around you.
I mean, I'm just
confused even
thinking about it.
Can't imagine
how you feel.
I'm fine. We're just
taking some time apart.
Yeah, of course.
A friends phase,
where you, her friend,
watch as she moves on
with her life,
finds a new boyfriend,
perhaps a nice gentleman
from a fraternity...
chance or Brock.
Does your mysteriously
missing girlfriend
know how insufferable
you are?
Maybe that's why you
haven't found her.
She doesn't want
to be found.
I haven't found her
because the Travelers,
I.e. my only lead,
decided to play a fun game
of spontaneous combustion
before giving
me what they promised.
Right.
Now you're here
annoying me.
We could always go
kill people,
but I suppose that's
what got you
into this problem
in the first place.
Well, I guess my
mom's not here yet.
I'm gonna get
us some coffees.
Sure.
Here you go.
I'm gonna need
these. Heh heh.
I'm so clumsy.
So, uh, you hated
the movie, huh?
No. I didn't hate it.
I just wasn't exactly
paying attention either.
So do you want
to dinner some...
We should, uh, do
this again sometime.
Yeah.
Sure.
Good.
Sorry. That's my dad,
waiting up for me.
It's so embarrassing.
I'm really looking
forward to dinner.
Me, too.
Good night.
My mom's 5 minutes away.
Elena?
Hello? Elena!
How did I get here?
I was just standing
at the doorway.
Uh, you walked.
Hang on. Did you just
have one of those dreams
like, right here?
It didn't feel
like a dream, ok?
It felt like
it was real,
like I was just there.
That's weird.
Caroline, if you bite
your tongue any harder,
you'll bleed.
Say it.
It's Psych 101.
Actually, it's whatever
comes before 101.
You told Damon that
you couldn't see him anymore,
and now you're having
dreams about Stefan?
It's not just
about Stefan, ok?
My parents were
still alive.
It was like
a different life.
Stefan, hey.
Hey.
Is everything ok?
Well, you know how
sometimes you feel crazy
and you call me
and I tell you
that you're not crazy?
Even though most
of the time I am.
Well, I need you to tell
me that I'm not crazy.
Uh, no promises.
I was walking to my car,
and I nearly got plowed over
in the middle
of the street
because I was having
some vision of Elena.
I take that back.
Actually, you're
not crazy at all.
Something's going on.
Hey. It's Jeremy.
Leave a message.
Hey, Jeremy.
It's me Bonnie Bennett,
your girlfriend, just in
case you need reminding,
which I'm happy
to keep doing
until you call me back.
So call me.
Hey, grams.
I heard the Travelers
did a number
on you last night.
Did you read that
in the other side newsletter?
Grams, you
don't look right.
Something's wrong
over here, Bonnie.
Some of the witches
think that the Travelers
tried to overwhelm you
so that someone
could get through.
As in come back?
Whoever it is,
he's hiding from us,
and now this place is...
That wasn't creepy.
What's going
on over here?
I don't know,
but whatever the Travelers
did and whoever managed
to get through,
it's got
the witches scared.
The Travelers are here,
and our goal is
to get rid of them,
but before I put my
faith in the 3 Stooges,
I need to make
sure that none of you
are harboring
a passenger.
So you want us to
stab ourselves?
This knife is
the only thing that
will get rid of them.
Again, you want us
to stab ourselves?
Just do it so we can
get on with this.
Says the hunter with
the Traveler-proof head.
I'll do it.
And the hybrid,
who heals.
Dude, you have a magic
ring that brings you
back from the dead.
Quit bitching.
Unh.
Shoulder. Shouldn't
hurt too much.
Not too deep.
I can help if you...
Unh.
So much testosterone,
so few brain cells.
Ok. So we're
all in the clear.
Want to tell us exactly
what we're doing here?
Easy. You just have
to do that
about a hundred more times,
only to other people.
Look. The truth is
that my coven have been
tracking the Travelers
for thousands of years.
They're always
on the move,
but there have been
a few times in history
when they have stopped
to gather.
Freaky part is that
no one's ever noticed
because one by one
they've taken over towns
by putting passengers
inside the townsfolk.
We think they're doing
the same thing
in Mystic Falls.
Care to lose again,
or shall we move on
to step two
of Elenaless Damon?
You know, bringing up
her name defeats
the purpose of me trying
to forget about her.
Bring up whose name?
Elena.
Whatever.
Speak of the devil.
Hey. Have you
heard from my mom?
No. Why?
Well, she was supposed
to meet me here,
and now she's not
texting me back.
If you see her, will you
just let her know that
something came up?
Yeah, of course.
Ok. Thanks.
Damon one,
temptation zero.
Temptation one, Enzo...
hello, gorgeous.
Can you tell Damon that
there's something going on
with Elena and Stefan?
What?
Well, you know how we
all laughed off
the notion that
the universe is drawing
Stefan and Elena together?
Yeah.
Well, that's happening.
What's happening?
Now that Stefan's
doppelhim...
Tom?
Tom, yes.
Now that Tom is dead,
Stefan and Elena are
the last pair
of doppelgangers,
which might explain
why Stefan and Elena
are suddenly having
vision-type situations
of each other.
Wait. What kind
of visions?
You know what she's
not telling you.
Somebody's
having sex dreams.
They're not
sex dreams.
Yeah. They're more
like romance dreams.
I don't need
to know that.
Where's Stefan?
He went to the Traveler
camp to see if anyone's
still there
that can tell him
what's going on.
Yeah, good
luck with that.
Well, it's our only lead.
Look. All we know is
that Tom is dead,
the Travelers just
committed a mass suicide,
and now Stefan and Elena,
who are clearly not
together anymore,
are having intense visions
of each other.
Find a witch,
get her over here.
Let's figure out what
the hell's going on.
Bonnie.
Surprise.
Actually not really.
I left you a voice-mail,
and I texted.
Yeah, I know,
I know. Sorry.
I, um...I've just been
busy moving and stuff.
Right. All your stuff.
Anyway, I need
your help.
I think something's going on
on the other side.
What do you mean?
My grams says
the witches are worried
someone got out,
and I thought since
you could see ghosts...
Jeremy, come on.
Back to work.
Liv's here?
Are you kidding me?
It's not what
it looks like.
Jeremy hired me to
help him with math.
Right. Was that before
or after you lied
to my face and tried
to kill his sister?
Hmm.
Tell me what's going on.
I can't. I'm sorry.
We have
this handled.
I just...I need you
to trust me, ok?
I told you I didn't want
to keep any secrets.
Nothing personal,
Jer, but sneaking up
on the Travelers
requires them not
to know that
we're doing it.
I already broke my rule
once for Matt and Tyler.
I'm not doing it again.
Where are you now?
Checking on
the sheriff,
but she's not here.
I know it's
probably nothing,
but if I were gonna
take over a town...
You'd start
at the top.
Don't do anything stupid
before I get there.
I can't do anything
until you bring
the Traveler knife,
so hurry up.
Traveler knife?
Sheriff, hey.
Who you talking to?
Uh, Caroline.
She said you missed lunch,
so I told her I'd
check up on you.
You mentioned
a Traveler knife.
Did I?
Maybe you misheard.
I didn't.
Matt?
What are you
doing here?
I'm dead, Bon,
but the sheriff's
in trouble.
What?
Just tell Jeremy.
He'll know what I mean.
I'm sorry to do
this to you, Bon.
Aah!
Can you see me?
Are you a witch?
Then how?
It's all topsy-turvy
over here, darling,
but I've got to say
it's good to be seen.
Don't tell me you
don't remember me.
Kol, original vampire,
murdered pointlessly by
Jeremy Gilbert.
Yeah, I know
who you are.
I thought the whole
point of this place
was to live out your
afterlife in solitude.
Why can I see you?
Well, apparently there's
trouble in paradise.
The rumblings from
the witches is that somebody
tore his way out of here,
and now this whole place
is unraveling.
Not that that
matters to you.
You're just on holiday,
which means you're going back.
Vicki.
Never heard of her.
She's my sister.
She's over here.
If I can see you,
then that means
I can see her.
I thought you were
bringing a witch.
We said we'd
call her.
We didn't say
we'd pick her up.
So where's,
uh...where's Damon?
Hi.
Hi.
So who could use
a drink from the library?
Yes, please.
Well, at least they're
not being obvious.
Heh.
You got a pool table.
Yeah. I figured pool
was a good outlet to put
this pent-up energy
that I seem to now have.
Yeah. I went running
today, 10 miles.
Could have gone 20.
Yeah.
Oh. This is so bad.
They're fishing
for small talk.
We should
do something.
Or we could stay
and let them amuse us
as they resist
the desire to tear
each other's
clothes off.
Drink?
Probably not
a good idea.
Inhibitions and all.
Well, wouldn't
want that.
Can we not do this?
We're not doing
anything.
I think that's part
of the problem.
We're just standing
clothed,
just standing,
doing nothing.
I mean, the whole
strained, awkward,
don't know
how to act part.
Oh.
Can't we just be friends
and do friendly things?
Ouch! She used
the f-word.
Poor bastard.
But I thought
that's what this was.
Oh, it is, but it was
never explicitly stated
until now.
And that matters
because?
Well, because until it's
officially out there,
there's still hope,
and hope...heh heh heh...
hope can trick you into
all sorts of hilariously
unrealistic scenarios.
You mean Maggie?
So what happened?
Well, the Travelers forgot
to tell me where Maggie was
before they
lit themselves on fire.
Talk about a lead
going up in smoke.
Yeah, but...
and no offense...
but even if she
still was alive,
wouldn't she be,
like, really old?
70 years of captivity,
and she was the face
that I clung on to...
the notion that
one day I'd get out
and see her again.
I don't want to
date her, Caroline.
I want to thank her.
So having sex dreams
about my brother.
Wow! Ok. Yeah, that's
definitely one way to
change the subject.
Well, I just
thought I'd skip
the uncomfortable parts.
Yeah.
Look. I don't know what
the visions mean, Damon.
It's just random
snippets of Stefan
and me living in some
alternate reality.
I'm gonna regret
this, but...
By any chance
are fantasy Elena
and fantasy Stefan really,
really, really happy?
Um...
Right.
Well, as your friend,
let me state the obvious
that the prophecy says
that you two are fated
to be together.
You're supposed
to be together.
We're all good
on bibles, thanks.
I'm Luke Parker,
Liv's twin brother.
Liv has a twin?
Is it possible for
there just to be one
of someone around here?
Where's Liv?
Busy.
Come on in.
Hey, Sheriff.
Hey, Tyler.
Staying out of trouble?
Yeah. You know me.
I certainly do,
and hybrids are not
above the law,
so do me a favor.
Keep the day drinking
at the grill
on the D.L., please.
It's bad for business.
Right. Will do.
Anyway,
I'm running late.
My mom says hi.
Send her my best, ok?
Unh!
You're ok.
You're safe now.
What do you mean
you can't stop
their visions?
Our magic doesn't
work like that.
We're not bigger
than the universe.
Then why are you
are in my house?
Because we
need your help.
We think the Travelers
are about to
make their move.
Their leader
Markos is here.
From where?
Chant camp?
The other side.
He's been dead
for centuries,
and we think
the fire sacrifice
allowed him to escape.
Perfect.
A dead old guy
with a mysterious, evil plan.
I'll take that
drink now.
Stefan just called.
He said the scrap yard's
been completely cleared out.
And let me guess...
the witches don't know
where Markos is.
You guys said
the visions are trying
to draw Elena and Stefan
together for something.
For our
doppelganger blood.
The Travelers need
it for some prophecy.
And if the Travelers are
the ones who need
your blood, doesn't it
make sense that you're
not only being drawn
together but also...
Being drawn to them.
Well, this just
keeps getting
better and better.
Wait.
I don't get it.
If the visions
are a road map,
then we need more clues.
Break out
the popcorn, blondie.
Elena's little
sex romp isn't over yet.
What are you
doing out here?
Aw, you know, looking
at the stars,
listening to
the universe laugh at me.
Damon.
We were doomed
from the beginning, Elena.
We were always
gonna end up here.
Damon, they're
just visions.
As soon as we find
Markos, they'll stop.
And then what?
We're friends?
Can't wait.
Look. I know we're
in a little bit
of a weird place
right now.
Hey.
Look at me.
The universe doesn't
control anything.
It's not real.
Hey.
You're really trying
to pull off
this chef thing.
Yeah. Well, it's
our anniversary,
so, uh, no holding back.
Well, if it turns out
anything like
your last
22 attempts, wine.
Mmm. Perfect.
I always forget.
Where do we
put the opener?
Oh. No, no, no.
Not that drawer, not that one.
Yes.
You didn't
even open it.
I don't have to.
I love you.
I love you, too.
Elena.
Hey.
Did I just...
Yep.
That good, eh?
He's here.
I know where
Markos is.
4620 Walnut Drive.
Vicki!
Vicki!
Vick!
How am I back here?
Matt!
Vick?
Matty, I'm here.
I'm here now.
It's ok.
No. Listen to me.
It's not ok.
Something's wrong.
Look at this place.
Matty, you need to
get to your body
and go back.
I'm not leaving
you again.
We're getting out of here.
Take my hand.
Let go!
Take my hand!
Vicki! Vicki!
Vicki! Vicki!
I won't let you go!
Matt, I love you...
But I'm
already dead.
Noooo!
Vicki! Vicki!
Vick!
Huh. Clear.
I wonder if this
is where Stefan and Elena
had crazy
vision sex.
Eh, it's probably
the bedroom.
Stefan's pretty vanilla,
but apparently that's
Elena's favorite flavor.
I'm gonna staple your
tongue to your chin.
Not in my
house, please.
Markos I take it.
Well, I'm not Stefan,
and this is not Elena.
Why are you here?
I was about to ask
you the same question.
Plus, what do you want,
and why are
the doppelgangers having
visions of each other?
First two are
complicated.
Last one's easy.
I'm the reason Stefan
and Elena are having
visions of each other.
You?
Well, would you
look at that.
I think we just
met the universe.
You mind telling me what
the hell is going on?
Well, I'm afraid
the doppelganger lore's
been misinterpreted
over the ages.
As in there is
no prophecy?
The prophecy is that
the doppelganger blood can
help the Travelers,
but they're being drawn
together because
of a spell I cast
1,500 years ago.
I had no idea
where they were,
and it turns out
the best way
to get people
to go searching
for each other is
the promise of true love.
Is it stuffy in here?
Why don't we
take a walk?
You stay here.
Not bloody likely.
You want to
find Maggie?
You stay here.
Shall we?
Mystic Falls
is a beautiful town.
Oh, yeah.
Picket fences,
block parties,
uncannily
high death rate.
You take your homes
for granted.
I'm sorry. Are we
walking so I don't
fall asleep?
2,000 year ago,
Silas and Ketsia cast
a spell for immortality.
It created a schism in
the Traveler community,
giving rise
to the witches.
They tried to keep us
scattered to make us
forget how
powerful we can be.
And thus began the war
between the Travelers
and the Witches,
and it's still rages
on and on.
Sorry. I just
nodded off.
The witches put a curse
on us that kept us
from settling down
as a tribe.
Whenever we've
tried to gather,
disaster struck...
plagues,
earthquakes, fire.
Something inevitably
wiped us out.
Let me guess...
the doppelgangers can fix this.
So you found them.
Now what?
We simply need
their blood,
but we're not
your enemy, Damon,
and to prove
that to you,
I'm gonna stop
their visions.
The curse might prevent
us from gathering
in our own bodies,
but we've found ways
around that.
Passengers.
So how many
of you are there?
A few...
Here and there.
Shall I continue?
...Winds that cool.
Low temperatures expected.
Hey.
So I, um...I got
your aunt Jenna
a wine of the month thing.
Think she'll
like that?
The only thing I think
she would have liked
more would have been
a wine of the day thing.
Thank you.
Oh. I talked to Jeremy,
and he's bringing
a girl home this year.
Ooh. So is Damon.
Hmm. I'm sure they'll
both be lovely.
Liar.
Ahh.
Hey, guys, share, please.
Ahh.
Do you know that she
bit him this morning?
Really? Nice.
Stefan, don't
encourage that.
What? Everybody
loves a biter.
Oh, yeah?
I'll bite you.
Good. I'll bite
you right back.
It's done.
Elena.
Did you feel
that, too?
And then it just ended.
Does that mean
that it's over?
Yeah.
It's over.
They weren't real.
It was a spell,
showing us what
we wanted to see.
We weren't vampires,
my parents were
still alive.
It was a fantasy,
like a movie.
It was the life that
we never could have had.
But it still felt...
Amazing?
Yeah.
But, you know, the life
that we had, I mean,
that was amazing, too,
and it wasn't a spell
or a prophecy.
It was real.
We fell in love
on our own.
We had ups and downs,
we fought.
I died.
Yeah.
We changed, both of us.
We grew,
and we grew apart,
but that is real.
I mean, that's life.
You couldn't cook.
And you could.
Again, a fantasy.
I'll always
love you, Elena.
I will always
love you, too.
Do you think Damon
and I will ever
be able to talk
like this,
like friends?
I think you can either
be friends with someone
or in love with them.
I don't think
you can be both.
All right, then.
Mourning time over.
Chip-chop.
Not to be insensitive,
but she was already dead.
Little bit of
a grief overkill,
don't you think?
Where'd she go?
Did she move on?
Did she find peace?
Because it certainly
didn't look like that.
I don't know
where she went,
and honestly, I would
love to never find out,
which is why I need
you back in your body,
shouting from the rooftops
about what happened here.
It doesn't matter.
When I go back,
I'm not gonna remember
any of this.
Well, you better find
a way to remember it.
Look. You might
not like me,
but I'm not the only one
over here,
and if this place
goes down,
then what happened
to your sister
is going to happen
to us all.
Please, mate,
you have to go back.
You have to find out
how to stop this.
Heh.
What?
I just realized you're
the only person
in this office
the sheriff hasn't killed.
You're making jokes now.
Bonnie, look. I'm sorry
for everything.
This whole thing
with Liv,
it had nothing to do
with her.
I was just trying
to protect you.
Ok. Here's
what's not ok.
Do what you want
to protect me,
but don't fall
off the face of the earth,
especially with someone who
was caught lying to me
and who tried
to kill Elena.
Don't put me in a position
where I have to
question you because I...
I know.
Because of Anna.
Look. I know
I messed up.
Listen. I was gonna
say because I choose
to trust you,
and I want to be right.
Matt, are you
ok, are you ok?
You died and came back from
the other side.
I know.
I remember.
You remember?
That doesn't happen.
One second,
I was holding Vick.
Wait. You saw Vicki?
She pushed me away,
and then...
and then she
just disappeared.
What's going on
over the, Bon?
I don't know.
I think we need
some rules here
because if I'm
not allowed to drive you home,
then I definitely
don't think
you're allowed to ambush
me in my bedroom.
I just...I just wanted
to say thank you.
Whatever you did,
it worked.
Oh.
Well, I'm sorry to tear
you away from paradise.
It was paradise actually.
I told you
I don't want to know.
But you need to know.
I saw a perfect life.
Stefan and I
were married,
and we had kids.
It was everything
that we wanted.
Well, we can always
Markos to put it back.
But it's not real.
You and I,
we're messy and complicated,
but
we're real.
And really bad
for each other.
Did you forget
that part?
Yeah, but I still
need you in my life.
As friends, right?
Right.
No, Elena. I can't
be your friend.
It's too damn hard.
Damon...
No. I'm serious,
Elena.
I can't see you anymore.
I don't want to hear
your voice,
I don't want
to talk to you,
I don't even want
to look at you,
And I sure as
hell don't want
to be your friend.
If that's
what you want.
That's what I want.
Ok.
Yeah. Ok.
I gave her my blood.
So what do I do?
She's still unconscious.
For starters,
relax.
Matt said he was out
for a while
when this
happened to him.
What are they
doing here?
This is our home.
We can't let
them take over.
They won't. I got it
handled, I promise.
Thanks, Tyler.
You're welcome.
I got to go.
She's waking up.
Hey.
What happened?
You missed lunch.
We're in.
She's oblivious.
It's not a bad
upgrade either.
This body is
incredible.
Don't get used to it.
Once this is over
and the town is ours...
I know. It's gone.
Did you bring it?
This is
the only knife left.
It was the only
knife left.

on "The Vampire Diaries"...
We're bad
for each other,
and we're never gonna get
to where we need to go.
We'll just end up back
here where we started.
Travelers have
the ability to keep
living inside
someone else's body.
You're a hunter.
That officially makes
you the only person
in this room
that I can trust.
You're gonna
protect Elena,
and I'm gonna help you
stop the Travelers.
I'm gonna need
some help.
The Travelers are
up to something big.
Aah!
Now they're
on the move.
Next stop...Mystic Falls.
You lose something?
Uh, yes. It's
a particularly mortifying
page from my journal.
Ah. You, uh, censor
your journal?
Pretty sure that's
against journal rules.
And I'm pretty sure
that you're not
the journal police.
Trust me,
it's really bad.
I'm officially
intrigued.
And I'm officially
not kidding.
Thank you.
I'm Elena.
I'm Stefan.
You ok?
Yeah. I just...
I just had
a really crazy dream.

@elder_man
So you broke up.
That I get.
Then you
slept together.
Not smart,
but again, I get it.
Now here's where it gets
a bit hazy for me.
You went to a parent-teacher
conference?
Jeremy was having some
trouble at school.
Right. Then the kicker.
You offer to drive her
back to campus,
and she says she can't
be around you.
I mean, I'm just
confused even
thinking about it.
Can't imagine
how you feel.
I'm fine. We're just
taking some time apart.
Yeah, of course.
A friends phase,
where you, her friend,
watch as she moves on
with her life,
finds a new boyfriend,
perhaps a nice gentleman
from a fraternity...
chance or Brock.
Does your mysteriously
missing girlfriend
know how insufferable
you are?
Maybe that's why you
haven't found her.
She doesn't want
to be found.
I haven't found her
because the Travelers,
I.e. my only lead,
decided to play a fun game
of spontaneous combustion
before giving
me what they promised.
Right.
Now you're here
annoying me.
We could always go
kill people,
but I suppose that's
what got you
into this problem
in the first place.
Well, I guess my
mom's not here yet.
I'm gonna get
us some coffees.
Sure.
Here you go.
I'm gonna need
these. Heh heh.
I'm so clumsy.
So, uh, you hated
the movie, huh?
No. I didn't hate it.
I just wasn't exactly
paying attention either.
So do you want
to dinner some...
We should, uh, do
this again sometime.
Yeah.
Sure.
Good.
Sorry. That's my dad,
waiting up for me.
It's so embarrassing.
I'm really looking
forward to dinner.
Me, too.
Good night.
My mom's 5 minutes away.
Elena?
Hello? Elena!
How did I get here?
I was just standing
at the doorway.
Uh, you walked.
Hang on. Did you just
have one of those dreams
like, right here?
It didn't feel
like a dream, ok?
It felt like
it was real,
like I was just there.
That's weird.
Caroline, if you bite
your tongue any harder,
you'll bleed.
Say it.
It's Psych 101.
Actually, it's whatever
comes before 101.
You told Damon that
you couldn't see him anymore,
and now you're having
dreams about Stefan?
It's not just
about Stefan, ok?
My parents were
still alive.
It was like
a different life.
Stefan, hey.
Hey.
Is everything ok?
Well, you know how
sometimes you feel crazy
and you call me
and I tell you
that you're not crazy?
Even though most
of the time I am.
Well, I need you to tell
me that I'm not crazy.
Uh, no promises.
I was walking to my car,
and I nearly got plowed over
in the middle
of the street
because I was having
some vision of Elena.
I take that back.
Actually, you're
not crazy at all.
Something's going on.
Hey. It's Jeremy.
Leave a message.
Hey, Jeremy.
It's me Bonnie Bennett,
your girlfriend, just in
case you need reminding,
which I'm happy
to keep doing
until you call me back.
So call me.
Hey, grams.
I heard the Travelers
did a number
on you last night.
Did you read that
in the other side newsletter?
Grams, you
don't look right.
Something's wrong
over here, Bonnie.
Some of the witches
think that the Travelers
tried to overwhelm you
so that someone
could get through.
As in come back?
Whoever it is,
he's hiding from us,
and now this place is...
That wasn't creepy.
What's going
on over here?
I don't know,
but whatever the Travelers
did and whoever managed
to get through,
it's got
the witches scared.
The Travelers are here,
and our goal is
to get rid of them,
but before I put my
faith in the 3 Stooges,
I need to make
sure that none of you
are harboring
a passenger.
So you want us to
stab ourselves?
This knife is
the only thing that
will get rid of them.
Again, you want us
to stab ourselves?
Just do it so we can
get on with this.
Says the hunter with
the Traveler-proof head.
I'll do it.
And the hybrid,
who heals.
Dude, you have a magic
ring that brings you
back from the dead.
Quit bitching.
Unh.
Shoulder. Shouldn't
hurt too much.
Not too deep.
I can help if you...
Unh.
So much testosterone,
so few brain cells.
Ok. So we're
all in the clear.
Want to tell us exactly
what we're doing here?
Easy. You just have
to do that
about a hundred more times,
only to other people.
Look. The truth is
that my coven have been
tracking the Travelers
for thousands of years.
They're always
on the move,
but there have been
a few times in history
when they have stopped
to gather.
Freaky part is that
no one's ever noticed
because one by one
they've taken over towns
by putting passengers
inside the townsfolk.
We think they're doing
the same thing
in Mystic Falls.
Care to lose again,
or shall we move on
to step two
of Elenaless Damon?
You know, bringing up
her name defeats
the purpose of me trying
to forget about her.
Bring up whose name?
Elena.
Whatever.
Speak of the devil.
Hey. Have you
heard from my mom?
No. Why?
Well, she was supposed
to meet me here,
and now she's not
texting me back.
If you see her, will you
just let her know that
something came up?
Yeah, of course.
Ok. Thanks.
Damon one,
temptation zero.
Temptation one, Enzo...
hello, gorgeous.
Can you tell Damon that
there's something going on
with Elena and Stefan?
What?
Well, you know how we
all laughed off
the notion that
the universe is drawing
Stefan and Elena together?
Yeah.
Well, that's happening.
What's happening?
Now that Stefan's
doppelhim...
Tom?
Tom, yes.
Now that Tom is dead,
Stefan and Elena are
the last pair
of doppelgangers,
which might explain
why Stefan and Elena
are suddenly having
vision-type situations
of each other.
Wait. What kind
of visions?
You know what she's
not telling you.
Somebody's
having sex dreams.
They're not
sex dreams.
Yeah. They're more
like romance dreams.
I don't need
to know that.
Where's Stefan?
He went to the Traveler
camp to see if anyone's
still there
that can tell him
what's going on.
Yeah, good
luck with that.
Well, it's our only lead.
Look. All we know is
that Tom is dead,
the Travelers just
committed a mass suicide,
and now Stefan and Elena,
who are clearly not
together anymore,
are having intense visions
of each other.
Find a witch,
get her over here.
Let's figure out what
the hell's going on.
Bonnie.
Surprise.
Actually not really.
I left you a voice-mail,
and I texted.
Yeah, I know,
I know. Sorry.
I, um...I've just been
busy moving and stuff.
Right. All your stuff.
Anyway, I need
your help.
I think something's going on
on the other side.
What do you mean?
My grams says
the witches are worried
someone got out,
and I thought since
you could see ghosts...
Jeremy, come on.
Back to work.
Liv's here?
Are you kidding me?
It's not what
it looks like.
Jeremy hired me to
help him with math.
Right. Was that before
or after you lied
to my face and tried
to kill his sister?
Hmm.
Tell me what's going on.
I can't. I'm sorry.
We have
this handled.
I just...I need you
to trust me, ok?
I told you I didn't want
to keep any secrets.
Nothing personal,
Jer, but sneaking up
on the Travelers
requires them not
to know that
we're doing it.
I already broke my rule
once for Matt and Tyler.
I'm not doing it again.
Where are you now?
Checking on
the sheriff,
but she's not here.
I know it's
probably nothing,
but if I were gonna
take over a town...
You'd start
at the top.
Don't do anything stupid
before I get there.
I can't do anything
until you bring
the Traveler knife,
so hurry up.
Traveler knife?
Sheriff, hey.
Who you talking to?
Uh, Caroline.
She said you missed lunch,
so I told her I'd
check up on you.
You mentioned
a Traveler knife.
Did I?
Maybe you misheard.
I didn't.
Matt?
What are you
doing here?
I'm dead, Bon,
but the sheriff's
in trouble.
What?
Just tell Jeremy.
He'll know what I mean.
I'm sorry to do
this to you, Bon.
Aah!
Can you see me?
Are you a witch?
Then how?
It's all topsy-turvy
over here, darling,
but I've got to say
it's good to be seen.
Don't tell me you
don't remember me.
Kol, original vampire,
murdered pointlessly by
Jeremy Gilbert.
Yeah, I know
who you are.
I thought the whole
point of this place
was to live out your
afterlife in solitude.
Why can I see you?
Well, apparently there's
trouble in paradise.
The rumblings from
the witches is that somebody
tore his way out of here,
and now this whole place
is unraveling.
Not that that
matters to you.
You're just on holiday,
which means you're going back.
Vicki.
Never heard of her.
She's my sister.
She's over here.
If I can see you,
then that means
I can see her.
I thought you were
bringing a witch.
We said we'd
call her.
We didn't say
we'd pick her up.
So where's,
uh...where's Damon?
Hi.
Hi.
So who could use
a drink from the library?
Yes, please.
Well, at least they're
not being obvious.
Heh.
You got a pool table.
Yeah. I figured pool
was a good outlet to put
this pent-up energy
that I seem to now have.
Yeah. I went running
today, 10 miles.
Could have gone 20.
Yeah.
Oh. This is so bad.
They're fishing
for small talk.
We should
do something.
Or we could stay
and let them amuse us
as they resist
the desire to tear
each other's
clothes off.
Drink?
Probably not
a good idea.
Inhibitions and all.
Well, wouldn't
want that.
Can we not do this?
We're not doing
anything.
I think that's part
of the problem.
We're just standing
clothed,
just standing,
doing nothing.
I mean, the whole
strained, awkward,
don't know
how to act part.
Oh.
Can't we just be friends
and do friendly things?
Ouch! She used
the f-word.
Poor bastard.
But I thought
that's what this was.
Oh, it is, but it was
never explicitly stated
until now.
And that matters
because?
Well, because until it's
officially out there,
there's still hope,
and hope...heh heh heh...
hope can trick you into
all sorts of hilariously
unrealistic scenarios.
You mean Maggie?
So what happened?
Well, the Travelers forgot
to tell me where Maggie was
before they
lit themselves on fire.
Talk about a lead
going up in smoke.
Yeah, but...
and no offense...
but even if she
still was alive,
wouldn't she be,
like, really old?
70 years of captivity,
and she was the face
that I clung on to...
the notion that
one day I'd get out
and see her again.
I don't want to
date her, Caroline.
I want to thank her.
So having sex dreams
about my brother.
Wow! Ok. Yeah, that's
definitely one way to
change the subject.
Well, I just
thought I'd skip
the uncomfortable parts.
Yeah.
Look. I don't know what
the visions mean, Damon.
It's just random
snippets of Stefan
and me living in some
alternate reality.
I'm gonna regret
this, but...
By any chance
are fantasy Elena
and fantasy Stefan really,
really, really happy?
Um...
Right.
Well, as your friend,
let me state the obvious
that the prophecy says
that you two are fated
to be together.
You're supposed
to be together.
We're all good
on bibles, thanks.
I'm Luke Parker,
Liv's twin brother.
Liv has a twin?
Is it possible for
there just to be one
of someone around here?
Where's Liv?
Busy.
Come on in.
Hey, Sheriff.
Hey, Tyler.
Staying out of trouble?
Yeah. You know me.
I certainly do,
and hybrids are not
above the law,
so do me a favor.
Keep the day drinking
at the grill
on the D.L., please.
It's bad for business.
Right. Will do.
Anyway,
I'm running late.
My mom says hi.
Send her my best, ok?
Unh!
You're ok.
You're safe now.
What do you mean
you can't stop
their visions?
Our magic doesn't
work like that.
We're not bigger
than the universe.
Then why are you
are in my house?
Because we
need your help.
We think the Travelers
are about to
make their move.
Their leader
Markos is here.
From where?
Chant camp?
The other side.
He's been dead
for centuries,
and we think
the fire sacrifice
allowed him to escape.
Perfect.
A dead old guy
with a mysterious, evil plan.
I'll take that
drink now.
Stefan just called.
He said the scrap yard's
been completely cleared out.
And let me guess...
the witches don't know
where Markos is.
You guys said
the visions are trying
to draw Elena and Stefan
together for something.
For our
doppelganger blood.
The Travelers need
it for some prophecy.
And if the Travelers are
the ones who need
your blood, doesn't it
make sense that you're
not only being drawn
together but also...
Being drawn to them.
Well, this just
keeps getting
better and better.
Wait.
I don't get it.
If the visions
are a road map,
then we need more clues.
Break out
the popcorn, blondie.
Elena's little
sex romp isn't over yet.
What are you
doing out here?
Aw, you know, looking
at the stars,
listening to
the universe laugh at me.
Damon.
We were doomed
from the beginning, Elena.
We were always
gonna end up here.
Damon, they're
just visions.
As soon as we find
Markos, they'll stop.
And then what?
We're friends?
Can't wait.
Look. I know we're
in a little bit
of a weird place
right now.
Hey.
Look at me.
The universe doesn't
control anything.
It's not real.
Hey.
You're really trying
to pull off
this chef thing.
Yeah. Well, it's
our anniversary,
so, uh, no holding back.
Well, if it turns out
anything like
your last
22 attempts, wine.
Mmm. Perfect.
I always forget.
Where do we
put the opener?
Oh. No, no, no.
Not that drawer, not that one.
Yes.
You didn't
even open it.
I don't have to.
I love you.
I love you, too.
Elena.
Hey.
Did I just...
Yep.
That good, eh?
He's here.
I know where
Markos is.
4620 Walnut Drive.
Vicki!
Vicki!
Vick!
How am I back here?
Matt!
Vick?
Matty, I'm here.
I'm here now.
It's ok.
No. Listen to me.
It's not ok.
Something's wrong.
Look at this place.
Matty, you need to
get to your body
and go back.
I'm not leaving
you again.
We're getting out of here.
Take my hand.
Let go!
Take my hand!
Vicki! Vicki!
Vicki! Vicki!
I won't let you go!
Matt, I love you...
But I'm
already dead.
Noooo!
Vicki! Vicki!
Vick!
Huh. Clear.
I wonder if this
is where Stefan and Elena
had crazy
vision sex.
Eh, it's probably
the bedroom.
Stefan's pretty vanilla,
but apparently that's
Elena's favorite flavor.
I'm gonna staple your
tongue to your chin.
Not in my
house, please.
Markos I take it.
Well, I'm not Stefan,
and this is not Elena.
Why are you here?
I was about to ask
you the same question.
Plus, what do you want,
and why are
the doppelgangers having
visions of each other?
First two are
complicated.
Last one's easy.
I'm the reason Stefan
and Elena are having
visions of each other.
You?
Well, would you
look at that.
I think we just
met the universe.
You mind telling me what
the hell is going on?
Well, I'm afraid
the doppelganger lore's
been misinterpreted
over the ages.
As in there is
no prophecy?
The prophecy is that
the doppelganger blood can
help the Travelers,
but they're being drawn
together because
of a spell I cast
1,500 years ago.
I had no idea
where they were,
and it turns out
the best way
to get people
to go searching
for each other is
the promise of true love.
Is it stuffy in here?
Why don't we
take a walk?
You stay here.
Not bloody likely.
You want to
find Maggie?
You stay here.
Shall we?
Mystic Falls
is a beautiful town.
Oh, yeah.
Picket fences,
block parties,
uncannily
high death rate.
You take your homes
for granted.
I'm sorry. Are we
walking so I don't
fall asleep?
2,000 year ago,
Silas and Ketsia cast
a spell for immortality.
It created a schism in
the Traveler community,
giving rise
to the witches.
They tried to keep us
scattered to make us
forget how
powerful we can be.
And thus began the war
between the Travelers
and the Witches,
and it's still rages
on and on.
Sorry. I just
nodded off.
The witches put a curse
on us that kept us
from settling down
as a tribe.
Whenever we've
tried to gather,
disaster struck...
plagues,
earthquakes, fire.
Something inevitably
wiped us out.
Let me guess...
the doppelgangers can fix this.
So you found them.
Now what?
We simply need
their blood,
but we're not
your enemy, Damon,
and to prove
that to you,
I'm gonna stop
their visions.
The curse might prevent
us from gathering
in our own bodies,
but we've found ways
around that.
Passengers.
So how many
of you are there?
A few...
Here and there.
Shall I continue?
...Winds that cool.
Low temperatures expected.
Hey.
So I, um...I got
your aunt Jenna
a wine of the month thing.
Think she'll
like that?
The only thing I think
she would have liked
more would have been
a wine of the day thing.
Thank you.
Oh. I talked to Jeremy,
and he's bringing
a girl home this year.
Ooh. So is Damon.
Hmm. I'm sure they'll
both be lovely.
Liar.
Ahh.
Hey, guys, share, please.
Ahh.
Do you know that she
bit him this morning?
Really? Nice.
Stefan, don't
encourage that.
What? Everybody
loves a biter.
Oh, yeah?
I'll bite you.
Good. I'll bite
you right back.
It's done.
Elena.
Did you feel
that, too?
And then it just ended.
Does that mean
that it's over?
Yeah.
It's over.
They weren't real.
It was a spell,
showing us what
we wanted to see.
We weren't vampires,
my parents were
still alive.
It was a fantasy,
like a movie.
It was the life that
we never could have had.
But it still felt...
Amazing?
Yeah.
But, you know, the life
that we had, I mean,
that was amazing, too,
and it wasn't a spell
or a prophecy.
It was real.
We fell in love
on our own.
We had ups and downs,
we fought.
I died.
Yeah.
We changed, both of us.
We grew,
and we grew apart,
but that is real.
I mean, that's life.
You couldn't cook.
And you could.
Again, a fantasy.
I'll always
love you, Elena.
I will always
love you, too.
Do you think Damon
and I will ever
be able to talk
like this,
like friends?
I think you can either
be friends with someone
or in love with them.
I don't think
you can be both.
All right, then.
Mourning time over.
Chip-chop.
Not to be insensitive,
but she was already dead.
Little bit of
a grief overkill,
don't you think?
Where'd she go?
Did she move on?
Did she find peace?
Because it certainly
didn't look like that.
I don't know
where she went,
and honestly, I would
love to never find out,
which is why I need
you back in your body,
shouting from the rooftops
about what happened here.
It doesn't matter.
When I go back,
I'm not gonna remember
any of this.
Well, you better find
a way to remember it.
Look. You might
not like me,
but I'm not the only one
over here,
and if this place
goes down,
then what happened
to your sister
is going to happen
to us all.
Please, mate,
you have to go back.
You have to find out
how to stop this.
Heh.
What?
I just realized you're
the only person
in this office
the sheriff hasn't killed.
You're making jokes now.
Bonnie, look. I'm sorry
for everything.
This whole thing
with Liv,
it had nothing to do
with her.
I was just trying
to protect you.
Ok. Here's
what's not ok.
Do what you want
to protect me,
but don't fall
off the face of the earth,
especially with someone who
was caught lying to me
and who tried
to kill Elena.
Don't put me in a position
where I have to
question you because I...
I know.
Because of Anna.
Look. I know
I messed up.
Listen. I was gonna
say because I choose
to trust you,
and I want to be right.
Matt, are you
ok, are you ok?
You died and came back from
the other side.
I know.
I remember.
You remember?
That doesn't happen.
One second,
I was holding Vick.
Wait. You saw Vicki?
She pushed me away,
and then...
and then she
just disappeared.
What's going on
over the, Bon?
I don't know.
I think we need
some rules here
because if I'm
not allowed to drive you home,
then I definitely
don't think
you're allowed to ambush
me in my bedroom.
I just...I just wanted
to say thank you.
Whatever you did,
it worked.
Oh.
Well, I'm sorry to tear
you away from paradise.
It was paradise actually.
I told you
I don't want to know.
But you need to know.
I saw a perfect life.
Stefan and I
were married,
and we had kids.
It was everything
that we wanted.
Well, we can always
Markos to put it back.
But it's not real.
You and I,
we're messy and complicated,
but
we're real.
And really bad
for each other.
Did you forget
that part?
Yeah, but I still
need you in my life.
As friends, right?
Right.
No, Elena. I can't
be your friend.
It's too damn hard.
Damon...
No. I'm serious,
Elena.
I can't see you anymore.
I don't want to hear
your voice,
I don't want
to talk to you,
I don't even want
to look at you,
And I sure as
hell don't want
to be your friend.
If that's
what you want.
That's what I want.
Ok.
Yeah. Ok.
I gave her my blood.
So what do I do?
She's still unconscious.
For starters,
relax.
Matt said he was out
for a while
when this
happened to him.
What are they
doing here?
This is our home.
We can't let
them take over.
They won't. I got it
handled, I promise.
Thanks, Tyler.
You're welcome.
I got to go.
She's waking up.
Hey.
What happened?
You missed lunch.
We're in.
She's oblivious.
It's not a bad
upgrade either.
This body is
incredible.
Don't get used to it.
Once this is over
and the town is ours...
I know. It's gone.
Did you bring it?
This is
the only knife left.
It was the only
knife left.
