The Vampire Diaries (2009–2017): Season 6, Episode 10 - Christmas Through Your Eyes - full transcript

Bonnie tries to replicate her favorite traditions, while reminiscing about happier times with her friends; Sheriff Forbes brings holiday cheer to Caroline at Whitmore College; Alaric turns ...

Previously
on "the vampire diaries"...

Elena: What about bonnie?
Damon: She sacrificed herself

So i could come back.
She's all alone

I'm sorry i
compelled away
the memories.

We'll make new ones.

I hate you for ruining
our friendship,

And i think that
i deserve better
than that.

Matt: Enzo, let her
go, or i swear--

No!

Matt: How do you feel
about being a hunter again?

Why?



Because i want you
to help me kill enzo.

Get the ascendant
from jo.

I understand.

Damon is a vampire.

Are you saying
damon compelled me?

He wouldn't do that.
He's my friend.

Jo drove me
across the border.

Look, ric.

Luke: My coven put
kai in a prison world.

Elena: Kai?
Jo: As in our brother,

My twin.

In our coven's
tradition,

The twins merge
their strength.

The stronger one
wins, absorbing



Their twin's power.

The weaker one dies.

I'm not gonna
let you die.

Tyler: Kai is here.

I guess this is that,
uh, antimagic border,

Which means now there's
a psycho loose in mystic falls

And no vampires around
to stop him.

What the hell
do you want?

Feel like making
a deal with the devil?

[music playing]]

How much are you gonna
want to kill me

If i need to
rain check tonight?

Alaric:
What happened?

I have a possible 480
hit-and-run on campus,

One doa,
4 reds en route.

Have your previous
boyfriends understood

This language
you speak?

I'm gonna miss dinner

So you're
my boyfriend now?

There's no hospital code
for awkward silence.

Give me two hours.
Save me dinner.

Woman: Doctor, we have
a young female

With abdominal wounds.

Put her in t3.
I need 10 milligrams
of morphine.

Mine's conscious.

Man: See a lot of blood,
no broken bones.

Making any sense to you?

Jo: No, it's not.
What happened to you?

Were you hit
by a car?

Can't breathe.

It's ok. You can tell me
what really happened.

Sweetheart?

Look at me.

[heart monitor beeping
rapidly]

What happened to you?

Aah!

I stabbed her.

Patient: Aah! Aah!

[music playing]

Unh!

Sorry. Had to.

You know you just
declared war, right?

Come on. Caroline's
over there.

Aah!

Come on.

Heh. Nope.
I'm not noticing you.

Today's not may 10, 1994.

Today's the tree decorating
ceremony,

And you are not
telling me otherwise.

Caroline: I just figured
that we were skipping
christmas this year,

You know, considering
the part where i die

If i cross the border
into my hometown.

What happened to christmas
being your favorite
time of the year?

Was my favorite time
of year

When i could actually
live in my own house

And help decorate
the town tree

And drink hot cocoa
with my friends.

What are you doing?

You're supposed to be
at the mystic falls
tree decorating ceremony.

I'm playing
hooky this year.

I figure just because
you can't come home
for the holidays

Doesn't mean
the holidays can't
come to you.

You even brought
our favorite ornaments.

Mom!

Hey. I, uh, didn't
know which ones to get,

So i got both.

What are you
doing here?

Your mom needed
christmas lights.

You have
a huge dorm,

And i thought we
could use an extra
set of hands.

The little ones
obviously.

[music playing]

Are you watching
me sleep?

No. I'm watching
you drool all over
ric's textbooks,

And considering you're
already on his bad side...

I don't drool.

Hmm.

Ohh. What time
is it?

Time for ric to get
a new reference library.

We've been looking
all night.

I swear i haven't found
anything that even
remotely resembles

An ascendant.

Well, we haven't
looked hard enough.

Let's get to it.

Find anything yet?

Nope.

Still staring.

It's just...

Everything you've been
doing for bonnie.

Thank you.

She'd do it for us.

[cell phone vibrating]

Hello, ric.

Alaric:
Have you seen jo?

No, not
since yesterday.

Why?

So i asked
around the hospital.

No one's seen jo
since last night
at the er.

A bunch of stab
victims came in,

And one of them's
missing, as well.

It was kai.

Jo knew he'd come after her,
and he did.

Damon: Not to give you
boyfriend lessons
or anything,

But if you knew jo's
whackjob brother was
out on the loose

And after her,
don't you think that
keeping an eye on her

Would have been
a smart move?

And what would you have
had me do, damon,

Ask you to compel jo
to stay put?

Guys, if kai has jo,
we need a plan.

Plan's easy.
Find kai, fftt,
kill kai. Mm-hmm.

Bottom line, we need
to keep kai alive.

You think i'm gonna
protect the guy

Who chased us
around the house

With a baseball bat
when we were 4?

Luke's right, tyler.

You're on some
serious crack.

Right now, you two
are stuck doing

The twin-merge
for your coven, ok?

That means
one lives,
one dies,

But if we help kai
and he finds a way
to merge with jo,

It's not your
problem anymore.

Until kai becomes
the most powerful witch

In our coven and goes
on a killing spree.

Something tells me
that's gonna become
our problem.

What does he want
us to do exactly?

Just think
sociopathic
ryan reynolds.

Haven't seen him.

Grunge vibe,
annoying as hell.

Still no idea.

Well, if he has
half a brain,

He will be hiding
where vampires
can't find him.

So in between levels
of mario kart,

Can you and little
baby gilbert maybe
keep an eye out?

Yeah, got it.
If we see him,
we'll let you know.

Who was that?

It was damon.
Apparently, there's

A psychopath
roaming mystic falls.

You tell him we're busy
hunting down a psychopath

Roaming outside
mystic falls?

Must have forgot
to mention it.

Look. You better
get out of here.

Enzo's gonna be
here soon.

Let's kill a vampire.

Well, bevis and butthead
are on the lookout.

Anyone else brimming
with confidence?

I mean, this just
doesn't make sense.

What could possibly
not make sense

About magical twins
absorbing into
one another.

Listen. Jo needs her magic
for the merge to work, ok,

And she got rid
of that back in 1994.

Kai said jo hid
her magic in a knife
somewhere.

It's probably
back in portland,

Where she got rid
of it in 1994.

He checked.
The knife's
not there.

He thinks
someone took it.

Jo doesn't have magic
because it's stuffed
in a knife

That was stolen
and hidden by
yours truly.

Kai won't find it.

Yeah, unless kai does
a locator spell.

-It's impossible.
-Why?

Kai was born
without the ability
to do magic.

Let me guess.
Kai wants us to do

A locator spell
on the knife.

If we find it,

Jo can get
her magic back,

Kai can merge
with her,

And you
and luke live.

This is ridiculous.

This is our job.

Merging is our duty
to the coven.

It's why we were born.

No. We were born
because our coven decided

That jo wasn't strong
enough to beat kai.

Why should we have to die
because our sister's

Too weak to defeat
our psychopath of a brother?

You know, a month ago,
the thought of bowing out

Never even occurred
to you.

That's because kai
wasn't here a month ago,

But he's here now.

Luke, we don't
have to do this.

We have a chance to live
out normal, human lives.

We could actually
be happy.

If the only way to
restore jo's magic

Is to reunite her
with that knife,

Kai's gonna come for it.

Ric's right.

Even if kai can't
do the locator spell,

He's gonna make it
his mission to find it.

Kai finds it. Great.
Love it.

Why aren't you
more concerned?

Because if kai
goes for the knife,

I will kill him
because the knife

Is right here
where i hid it.

Ta-da!

I know i tried to
kill you when you were toddlers,

But i got to say,

It sure is nice to be
around family for the holidays.

[music playing]

Dad's not here yet.

Oh, yeah.
You know what?

He's not gonna make it.

You remember his
friend steven?

He needed help moving
a couch or something,

So he's gonna
miss out.

But it's an undeclared
law that the sheriff
and her husband

Put the star
on the tree.

Then we will just have to
let the lockwoods

Have the honors
this year.

Is something going on
between you two?

It'll be fine,
i promise.

Mom, i'm a freshman
in high school, ok?

I can handle
adult conversations.

No worrying
during the holidays, ok?

And that tree is not
gonna decorate itself.

Go.

Well, maybe you'll
meet a cute surfer.

Doubtful. My dad's
conference is two hours
away from any beach.

Ahh! Cute surfer?
Where?

Nowhere. Bonnie's
dad is dragging her
on a work trip,

So i'm gonna ask
my parents if she
can spend

The holiday
with us.

Are you serious?

Yeah. The 3 of us
have never spent

Christmas apart.

I plan on keeping
it that way,

Even though jeremy
will hate it.

It's always fun
to torture him.

Mm-hmm. Oh!
I love you.

Almost as much as i love
torturing jeremy.

Ok, great! Now that
christmas is saved,

Let's get these garlands
on the tree

Before they end up
on your hips.

[music playing]

Here. I got it.

What are you
doing here?

Well, your mom asked
for my help.

No, stefan. What
are you doing here?

Because if you think
hanging a few stands
of light is gonna

Make me forget
what a crappy friend
you've been,

Then you thought wrong.

Caroline, i'm trying, ok?

You're trying?

No. This is
the easy part, ok?

We're hanging
christmas lights.

Anyone can be friends
when you're hanging
christmas lights.

Who wants hot chocolate?

I was just leaving.

[sighs]

Mom?!

Oh, wow. I just got
really...

Mom!

You ok?

What the hell
is he doing?

Probably playing
tic-tac-toe
with himself

Like a crazy person.

This is
the antimagic
border.

Jo can get her magic
back over there

While over here...

Jo: Hey. What did you
do to me?

Sissy's up.

What the hell
did you do to me?

I haven't seen you
in 18 years.

You can't muster
a hello?

What did
you guys do?

What you should have
done 18 years ago.

It's not
gonna work kai.
I don't have my--

Magic. Yeah.
Yeah. I recall.

You stored it
in this.

Aah!

What the hell?

Ohh!

I'm trying to
reunite jo with her...

Aah!

Magic.

It's not working.

Enough, enough, man.

I was wanting
to kill you

When your brain
was the size
of an acorn.

You don't think
i'll do it now?

Whatever.
I'm not watching this.

Ha ha ha!

Oh, so dramatic.

All right.

Sissy...

Let's try this again.

Stop. I put my magic
in there by choice.

Taking it back
is also my choice

Unless i bleed
to death,

Which will happen
in the next
30 minutes.

Heh. Wouldn't it
be ironic

If you accidentally
killed me before
the merge ceremony?

I'm going to find
a bandage

While you figure out
how to put the magic
in this knife

Into our sister.

Preferably by the time
i get back

So i don't have to dull it
by slitting your throat.

[heart monitor beeping]

Elena: Hey!
Caroline: Hey.

What happened?

I don't know.
She just collapsed.

One second,
we're decorating,

And then the next,
she's just on the ground.

Maybe she forgot
to eat.

You know, sometimes,
she skips breakfast.

And when was the last
time you ate, caroline,

As in fed?

Oh, god. Now you
sound like stefan.

He just went to go find
something to take
the edge off.

Heh. They have her
sedated.

She's going to be
asleep for a while.

Can you just come
and distract me?

How's the search for
the new ascendant thingy?

Not good.

Damon and i spent
the night researching.

God. Poor bonnie.

Do you think she knows
it's christmas?

You know she never liked
being away from us
at christmas.

I don't know.

It's probably better
that she doesn't
know, though.

So are you and damon--

I know what
you're thinking,

And no.

Actually, i was going to
say that i think

It's great how he's
always been there for you
when it mattered,

You know, through
thick and thin,

Good times and bad times.

Maybe i haven't given
him enough credit.

You're clearly
malnourished.

Damon: Bet you think
you're pretty clever,
don't you?

Is this damon?

Why don't i have
your number saved?

Well, you weren't
in your dorm room,

And your pouty little
goth friend wasn't in hers.

It's creepy you
know where liv's
dorm room is.

Let me guess.
You 3 idiots figured

That kai merging with jo
benefits you and liv.

Now i'm not sure
exactly how luke
fits into that yet,

But i'll use
my imagination.

I'm trying to keep
my girlfriend alive.

Sound familiar?

[whoosh]

We both knew that
wasn't gonna work.

Where's jo?

I'm not telling you,

And before you
threaten to rip
my head off,

Remember, all that
does is guarantee

Kai having to
merge with jo.

Is that what
you people think of me,

That i just instantly
resort to violence?

I just have a question.
I mean, look.

I get why you don't want
to merge with liv, ok,

Because no one wants to
see that face with her hair.

I get it,
but what makes you think

Kai merging with jo
is any smarter?

I mean, i heard he killed
4 of your siblings,

And that was
without magic.

Eh, it'll be fine.
I'm sure when kai gets

All that power
he's just gonna
mellow right on out.

Heh.

Stop.

And here i thought
we were meeting
for tea and crumpets.

I'm giving you
information about a girl

Who's supposed
to be stefan's
long lost niece.

I'm not exactly
interested in him
finding out.

And why are you
helping me?

I thought you
unfriended me

When i killed
that little con artist.

Monique. Her name
was monique.

Eh, two names actually--

First sarah,
then monique,
probably others.

I asked you why
you're helping me.

She knew something
that stefan didn't
want her to know,

And for some
screwed up reason,

You're obsessed
with knowing
stefan's secrets.

Probably because he has
everything you'll
never have.

Answer
the bloody question.

Why are you
helping me?

Because i want this
obsession to take you

The hell away from here.

This is all
the information monique

Told me
about her past.

Take it and get out.

Heh heh.

Think i didn't
plan for that?

Agh!

Caroline could
really use whatever's
in that cup.

Is it just me,
or does that look
really bad

For somebody
who just fainted?

That doctor just
came over from radiology.

I overheard her say
glioblastoma.

Glioblastoma?
No, but that--no.

No, no.

We brought her in
a couple of weeks ago

After tripp's guys
grabbed here.

Doctors ran some tests,
and apparently they found

Something suspicious.

No, but that doesn't
make sense, stefan.

Caroline would have
said something.

Or maybe her mom
hasn't told her yet.

What's going on
with liz forbes?

Her recent mri
showed a lesion
on her brainstem.

We think it's
metastasized
to her spine.

C-c-can you operate?

If the tumor's
already spread,
it would be impossible.

But that would mean--

Does she know?

For a few weeks now,

But news like this
takes time to digest.

Ugh. Wouldn't it be
a billion times easier

Just to stake him
in the heart?

Yeah, but he
wouldn't suffer.

Get the door.

Wait. This isn't
about making him suffer.

It's about making sure he
doesn't kill anyone else.

He just killed
an innocent girl, jer.

He deserves to suffer.

Dude, you sound
like tripp.

You mean the guy
whose neck enzo
slit open

For trying to protect
innocent people?

I'm just saying you're
being a little intense.

Maybe that's
the problem, jer.

We've all been looking
the other way

Because we're friends
with vampires,

But how many people
need to die

For us to face the fact
that vampires

Also kill people?

So what, you'd do
the same thing to stefan?

What about elena
or caroline?

Just help me get him
to the van.

Look. I know
how you feel.

I was supernaturally
programmed to take out
my sister, remember,

But this whole
us versus them thing

Is gonna drive
you crazy,

And it's gonna
get you killed.

Hey. It will be ok.

Just needed to get
rid of kai so you
could free me.

Look, jo. You can't
run away from this anymore.

You've had 18 years
of freedom.

Now take your magic back
and do this.

You owe it to the coven.

Is that what
you think,

That i've been
shirking my
responsibility

To our family?

Luke's all i've got.

If we merge
and he dies...

I may as well
be dead, too.

If kai merges with me,

He'll be more powerful
than any of us.

Did it ever occur
to you that maybe

You're strong enough
to beat him?

You were 22 the last time
you went up against him.

Since then, you've
been a combat medic,

You've saved hundreds
of lives,

And your hospital
worships you.

Someone's done
her research.

You're my sister,

And i'm yours.

Look how far you've
come without magic.

You didn't get here
listening to people

Tell you you weren't
strong enough.

Aah!

Liv!

Can't say
i didn't warn her.

[groaning]

Phesmatos superous
em animi--

Aah!

Kai, stop!

Isn't it gonna be funny
when i kill her

Using her own magic?

Wait. Is that
funny or sad?

I get my emotions
mixed up.

Hey. What's the one
for fire again?

It's "incendia," right?

Phesmatos...

Kai, enough!

Lectos espiritox.

That's it?
We're gonna kill
bad guys together,

And you're not gonna
talk to me?

Look. You blew up
your car,

You needed a ride.

Doesn't mean
we have to talk.

All right. Look.
I agree

That maybe compelling
you to betray your
lady friend

Was an irrational
decision stemming

From untreated
control issues.

-Heh. Ok.
-What?

[whoosh]

I'm sorry, ric.

Is that it?

Yeah.

Great. Let's
finish this.

There it is.

Oh, so predictable.

I threaten liv,
you do anything

It takes to save liv.

Fractos.

[footsteps]

[damon whistles]

Unh!

Cemetery, really?

Motus.

Aah! Ugh.

Oh, whoops.

Looks like you found
the antimagic border.

Drew a line in
the dirt for everyone's
convenience. See?

Yeah. You're welcome.

Thank you.
Kill him.

Jo: Alaric, don't!

What are you
talking about?

She's lightheaded
and confused.

I'll give her some
of my blood, ok?

Kill him.

Jo: No, you can't.

If kai dies, liv and luke
have to do the merge.

It's not fair to them.

Who cares? Kill him.

Ric, don't.

I can win.
I can beat kai.

I just need a little
time to get stronger.

We're moved truly.

Kill him now.

I'll figure out
a way to win.

Please you have to
trust me.

Keep him alive.

Ric.

Why the hell did you
tell damon where they were?

Because i realized
listening to you two
was a huge mistake.

Kai's a monster.

So you'll just risk
your sister's life?

How the hell does
that make sense?

Hey! I'm talking
to you.

Everyone, chill!

Jo thinks she
can beat kai.

You and i both know
that's crap.

Kai's a million
times stronger.

She'll die,
and the first thing

Kai's gonna do is
kill everyone
in our coven

As punishment
for putting
him away,

And then he'll turn
on innocent people

Because he's
crazy and bored
and homicidal.

Fine. Then i'm
selfish, luke,

But i'd rather be alive
and selfish

Than this dead martyr
who served her purpose
to her coven.

People are
gonna die,

And it's gonna be
our fault.

Remember that.

[sighs]

Are you ok?

There's a 22-year-old
sociopathic witch

Running around
mystic falls right now.

That we have
a plan for.

We've dealt with every
kind of evil there is,

And we always
have a plan,

But this--

If caroline loses
her mom,

It'll destroy her.

I know.

She doesn't
deserve this, elena.

She's a good person.

She's happy,
she's kind.

I know.

I should tell her.

It's only a matter
of time before she
compels a doctor,

And i don't want her
finding out from
a stranger, you know?

Let me do it.

No, stefan.
You don't have to.

Let damon know.

I should
tell caroline.

I haven't been
there for her.

Caroline needed me,
and i ran away.

So...Yeah,
i have to do it.

I guess we'll
just lock up
your brother

Until you two,
you know...

Merge our twin powers
during the next
celestial event?

Yeah. There really
is no sugarcoating
that, is there?

For the record,
i've dated doctors
and lawyers

And a couple
of artist types,

But none of my
previous boyfriends

Would have ever
understood that.

Heh.

Here. Let me, uh...

Be careful.

So this whole
antimagic thing,

Is it like a--
like a dome
or a bubble?

Like, say, you
were in 747 flying
over mystic falls,

Would you die?

You know, that could
be dangerous,

Like if you're headed
to new york

And your pilot
reroutes for weather.

How's this? I kill you,
and when you're in hell,

You can ask a bar
full of dead travelers,
who cast the damn spell.

That's a lot
of travelers.

Must be
a pretty big spell.

Like a really
big spell.

So big...

It covers every inch
of an entire town.

What the hell
are you doing?

I'm working
on my knuckleball.

We are keeping
him alive, damon.

Can i ask why
we continuously
compromise logic

For some girl
you just met?

You know, i don't
know how i went

So long without
saying this,

But you're
a real dick.

Bonnie's stuck over there
because of him.

She's over there,
and i'm over here,

And i hate myself
for it.

Yeah, and killing
him will make you
feel better,

So let's just stop
pretending for a second

That this is about
anyone else but you.

You should probably go
change that tire.

[music playing]

Ok, tree.
Let's do this.

Liz: Now that's what
i call a christmas tree.

Isn't that gorgeous?

The holidays are all
about being with loves ones,

And i think that's what
makes this tradition
so special in our town.

It's a reminder that
no matter where you turn

You have a friend.

Both: Aw.

[applause]

Biggest mistake
of junior year--

Including the boys
in secret santa.

Stefan is officially
the worst gift giver.

He got you
a snow globe?

Yeah, of mystic falls,

As if i don't see
enough of this town

Every day as it is.

Well, i love
my bracelet.

Of course you do because
i am good at secret santa,

And i didn't purchase it
from a quick stop.

Looks like someone
is missing

The true meaning
of christmas.

Come on. We're happy
and healthy,

And we're together.

Hey.

Hey. Uh, there's
no news.

Apparently, they're
still running tests.

Caroline, we need
to talk.

[wind blowing]

Hey. Where are you?
I can't hear you.

I'm at the medical center.

Where are you?

Reception's horrible.

Damon, can you
hear me?

Hey. Elena!

[music playing]

[static]

[music playing]

Fancy something else?

I always figured i'd bow out
to the everly brothers or--

He stopped talking.

He never stops talking.

Magia tollox de terras.

Utera aso utox.

What happened
to his chains?

Is he chanting?

[louder]
utera aso utox.

Magia tollox de terras.

Utera aso utox.

It's a christmas
miracle.

You little
magic sucker.

Sucked up
all that magic from
the traveler spell.

Aah!

A lot of magic.

Gah! I really, really
hate that move.

Ric!

Hey. Come on.

Take my damn hand,
ric.

Come on.

How are you not dead?

If we've learned
anything from today,

It's that we should
kill our enemies with haste.

Then what are you
waiting for?

Go ahead and kill me.

I said enemies.

Don't flatter
yourself.

What do you want, enzo?

You were right.

I am jealous
of stefan.

He has what i want--
respect, family,

Girls he doesn't
deserve.

He throws it all away,
and yet still somehow

Manages to come out
winning.

You are going to help me
deplete every ounce

Of happiness
from his life,

And when there's
nothing left,

I'll decide if you
get to live.

Oh, and, uh,

Happy holidays.

Elena: You mean
home home?

Ahh.

Just walked through
the front door,

Which i start locking
now that kai's

Supercharged
and on the prowl.

Let's just celebrate
the fact that we
can go home.

I could really use
some happy news right now.

Today sucked.

I'm listening.

So look. I don't
know what we were or are

Or what we're
supposed to be,

But all i know is
that today was
pretty horrible,

And i just--
i want to see you.

I have something
i need to tell you.

Come over.

I'll cook you dinner,
and we'll talk

About our crappy days.

[music playing]

Caroline: That just
doesn't make sense.

My mom would have said
something to me.

We were worried,
so...

Elena compelled one
of the doctors
for information.

Ok. So my mom has
a brain tumor.

Then we'll just give
her vampire blood.

Caroline, do you think
that if our blood
cured cancer

We would have heard
about that by now?

Fine. Then when are
they gonna operate?

That's the problem.
They can't.

Ok. Well, if they
can't operate,

Then they'll give
her chemo, right?

The tumor is growing
so fast the doctors

Don't think
that will work.

Well, then
they're wrong

Because they don't
know her.

They don't know
how strong she is.

I mean, she's gonna
get through this, stefan.

Right?

It's ok.
It's all right.

We miss you, bonnie.

I miss you guys.

[heart monitor beeping]

[car engine rumbling]

That's not possible.

[revs engine]

What?

This was gone.

I blew this up.

Yeah? Well, you weren't
around to annoy me

For the last 4 months,
so i had a bit

Of extra time
on my hands.

Ha!

Think of it as
a early

Merry christmas/late
welcome back to life present.

Ha ha ha! Thank you.

Hey. Just, uh, do
me a favor.

Don't die again.

Those fenders were
a real bitch to find.

Deal.

Deal.

Ha! Yeah.

[stefan sighs]

Well, we're home.

Yep.

You sticking around?

Well, that depends.

Might have to kill
jeremy if i find out

That he slept
in my bed.

Mistletoe. Clever.

Hello.
Anybody there?

Damon, what
are you doing?

Are you gonna
let me in or...

Um...Heh.

I may have put
a cloaking spell on us.

How genius is that?
