The Vampire Diaries (2009–2017): Season 6, Episode 7 - Do You Remember the First Time? - full transcript

Elena is forced to confront her problems; Liv and Tyler get closer; Damon finds a surprising clue that renews his hope.

Previously on
"The Vampire Diaries"...

I want you compel to forget that
I ever loved him.

Who is Damon Salvatore.

He was a monster.

Where the hell are we?

1994.

We're never getting out.

There's someone
else here.

To get home we'll
harness the power of the eclipse

using a mystical relic.

It's called
an Ascendant.



Unh!

Forgetting someone?

Aah!

I'm back.

I know what Alaric is.
I know what you are.

You're a witch.

Wait. You're
from Mystic Falls?

Born and raised.
One of the founding families actually.

Stefan could have told me
there was a hunter in town.

I want my
memories back.

Wait. What?

I want Alaric to
uncompel me.

Alaric!

I'm not supposed
to be alive.



Alaric's not
a vampire anymore, Elena.

He's human.

There's a girl
you need to go see.

Ok. I'll start.

I know Alaric
"eternal sunshined"

our relationship
out of your brain,

but please, please tell
me it's coming back

or at least part of it
because imagining

this exact moment is what
got me through the last few months.

I'm not sure
what to say.

Easy, so easy.
Just say

that you missed me
as much as I missed you.

I remember...pain.

I remember all the terrible
things that you did

to the people
that I care about.

I honestly don't remember
anything good between us.

I thought if I saw you
in person it might

change everything,
but...

Maybe you just need
a little more time.

Damon, I know that
I loved you.

Yeah.

And I know that apparently
I forgave you

for all of the awful things
that you did.

Yeah.

But I just don't
remember it.

I'm sorry. I...

I just don't...

feel it anymore.

I'm sorry.

Yeah.

I'm, uh--ahem.

Yeah.

Damon, I--
I really am sorry.

Uh...

Hey. I really
don't think you should be

playing with all
that stuff.

Keep going.
We are on a roll.

All the terrible things
I did to people

that Elena cared about.

Let's see. I turned
Caroline into my own

personal blood
juice box,

I turned Matt's sister
into a vampire

and threatened to kill
Bon-Bon a couple times.

More than a couple.

Subjective. Sometimes,
I was being funny.

And you killed Stefan's
best friend

at his birthday party.

Unfortunate coincidence.

And then you snapped
Jeremy's neck

when Elena said she'd
never love you.

On second thought,
let's focus on all

the charming,
heroic things

you obliterated
from my girl's mind.

God, if I could take
it all back, I would.

I know.

And listen.
Despite the fact

that my long list
of dastardly deeds

involves killing you,

I'm glad you're alive.

Thanks, man.

Yeah.

Unh!

Although had you
actually died a vampire

instead of becoming
human again,

your compulsion would
have gone away,

and Elena would be
mine again.

Hey. Really heartfelt.
Appreciate it.

Now she's stuck
with only evil me memories

forever and ever.

If you kill me,
I am dead for good this time.

You remember that.

Good morning.

Hey. I don't know
if this is a good time.

Just a heads-up, Doc.

You're gonna be
in real high demand

with a bunch of vampires
who want to be human again

if you could repeat
that little healing trick

that you did at the border
with Ric last night.

Well, just
a heads-up,

but saving Alaric's
life was a matter

of a treatable
death wound,

perfect timing,
and fear of losing

the most interesting
guy I've dated in a while adrenaline.

100% unrepeatable,
which is why you will tell no one.

- She's bossy.
- Mm-hmm.

I like her.

Ugh.

Do you have a nice
suit and a clean pair of socks?

Uh, yeah, I think so.

Good.
I'm releasing you.

Hospital fundraiser's
tonight.

I'm making the interns go,
so I need a date.

Start your paperwork.

Hello again.
That was quite a mess

you made at the border
last night.

Hit-and-run.
Tsk, tsk, tsk.

Good thing Matt here
was in the neighborhood

to give you a ride home.

You brought me here?

You went after my friends.
What'd you expect?

Your friends who
kill people.

Come on, Enzo.
Ask him what you want to know.

Let's get this
over with.

Stefan has already made a very
passionate argument

in favor of snapping
your neck,

whereas in a surprising
role reversal,

I've opted for
the let's think this through,

get all
the information

before we kill him
method.

Don't be a dick.
You know, you can

dry the Vervain
out of him,

compel him to forget
everything,

and he'll never set foot
in Mystic Falls again.

You don't really think he's a one-man
vampire busting

operation, do you?

Look. While Tripp
tortured me

for the names
of your friends,

I had a front-row seat to quite a few
urgent phone calls

and visits from mysterious
right-hand men,

many of whom were
wearing uniforms

not dissimilar to the one
you've been traipsing around in.

I'd just like to know
what they're up to

while he's here with us.

Aah! Aah.

They're doing
the same thing they were

when they were
with me.

They're tracking
vampires like

your friend
Caroline Forbes.

Take two hours,
get the names of his men

and what they know.

After that,
he's a liability.

Get rid of him.

You didn't feel
anything?

I felt scared
and guilty,

and his eyes were
really, really blue and pretty,

but...no.

I don't remember
loving him.

So you don't remember.
So be it.

That's your advice?

Well, Elena, look
at your life right now.

You're doing well
in school,

you're following
your dreams,

you met Liam, who also
has very pretty eyes,

not mention he's never
killed your brother.

True.

I mean, I just gave
Stefan the friend boot.

Maybe a little break
from the Salvatore brothers

is in the cards
for the both of us.

Look. McDreamy's coming.

I got to go.

See you later.

Bye.

So guess who came
into the hospital

for a shoulder
arthroscopy this morning.

Hello to you, too.

Lady Whitmore, the girl
from the bonfire,

the one you miraculously
saved from certain death

and I can't
figure out how.

Turns out she was here
on a tennis scholarship

before she blew out
her arm last year.

Now she needs to
get her cartilage cleaned out

every 6 months.

You're still
obsessing over that.

But here's
the crazy part.

She doesn't remember
getting hurt

in the corn maze crash.

Wow! She must have
been really drunk.

I'm gonna take a look
at her labs,

see if she's not
an alien

or a super soldier
or something.

Heh heh.

When do volunteers
have access

to the patient labs?

Since never,
but if you rat me out,

you can't be my date
to the hospital fundraiser tonight.

Yeah? Well, we have
to go.

Jo said that it's
mandatory.

Doesn't mean it can't
still be a date.

Oh. Look
who's awake.

How do you feel?

Like you shot me
with an arrow.

Right. Anyhoo,
I have no idea

how you managed
to shatter the Ascendant

into a billion pieces,

but we need to put
it together

before the eclipse
at 12:28.

You want to help?

I know you're
a puzzle person.

I don't want to help.

You're a psychopath.

This place is
your prison.

I'm not letting
you out.

Besides, you'll just
kill me the minute we get out.

You've been
through a trauma.

Your memory's probably
a little fuzzy right now,

so you might be thinking that
your magic will protect you,

but all I have to do
is hold your hand,

and your magic
suddenly becomes mine.

What was that? Huh? What?

You're gonna do the spell
and finally get us home?

Agh!

That's weird.

What's weird?

None of your business.

We're not friends anymore,

which means you
can't just show up

unannounced
at my door. Good-bye.

Hey, Caroline.

Look. You're
not safe.

Tripp's men still
have your name.

So, what? You here
to protect me?

News flash! I don't
need your protection,

and more importantly,
I don't want it.

Hey, mom.
Can I call you back?

I'm trying to get
a piece of gum off of my shoe.

Actually, honey,
this can't wait.

Do you have any idea
where Tripp cook might be?

Tripp? No.
I have no idea. Why?

Because one of his men
just ran me off the road,

and they're gonna kill me
if they don't get him back.

Answer
your phone, Enzo!

I just--I didn't
call her today, you know?

I always call my mom
every Saturday morning,

but, no, today, I said,
"screw it.

"I want to sleep in.

I'll do it tomorrow."

Well, don't worry.
We're almost there.

We're almost there?

You said, two hours
and then kill him."

Do you even remember
how long ago you said that?

I mean, what kind
of person sets a ticking clock

without setting
his watch?

Tell me that Tripp
is still alive.

Tripp is still alive,

surprisingly torture-resistant
but alive.

What took you so long
to answer your phone?

My fingers were
covered in blood,

and the touchscreen
wouldn't work.

Just don't
kill him, ok?

One of his guys
took my mom,

so just keep
your hands off of him

so I can get
her back, ok?

Enzo, please.

I thought I could
make the world a better place

by getting rid
of them,

teach kids like you
to be strong, defend yourselves,

but look at you.

You're
on the wrong side.

I'm not
on the wrong side, man.

My side's just
really freaking complicated.

Update.
Tripp's henchmen kidnapped

the sheriff
of Mystic Falls.

What?

It's a contingency
plan in case

anything ever
happened to me.

That's your idea of being
on the right side?

You can set the meet
for the edge of town of old Miller Road.

You can do
the trade there.

They know they'll
be safe behind the border.

And send Matt.

They trust him.

Antibiotics.

Painkillers.

Unh.

An hour and 43 minutes.

I can do this.

Ahh. Ohh!

Seriously?

You don't know how
to fill a champagne glass?

I never said I was
a professional.

First and most
obvious rule,

they all have
to be even

and no slopping
over the sides.

Thank you.

For what,
not firing you?

I'm not even paying you.

For letting me try
to repay you.

I killed someone
so that you wouldn't

trigger your
werewolf curse,

and you think that
being my bar back for a night

is enough to repay me?

Honestly, I'd rather
chain myself up in a cellar

and turn every month
than have to wear this lame-ass tie.

Which isn't straight.

You should take some
pride in your appearance.

So what are you,
the guest of honor or something?

I won an award for a battlefield
medical clamp I patented.

Whitmore likes to trot me out
when they want to raise money.

So basically,
you're a genius.

Or she has
a witchy advantage.

What, supposed to be
a secret that she's a witch?

I don't practice,
so no witchy advantage,

just a lot
of hard work.

Who invited him?

He sort of
invited himself,

mostly to stalk
Elena.

Oh, don't be cynical.

I'm here to spend
some quality time

with my once dead,
now human best bud.

Who's that?

That would be
Liam Davis,

valedictorian,
straight A's freshman year

taking junior-level classes,

not to mention
medical royalty.

Not so bad
on the eyes either.

Looks like he's
Elena's date.

Did I say I liked you?

I meant the opposite.

You know those things
are rigged, right?

Is that another one
of your conspiracy theories?

Super soldiers
take over the world

to carry out vicious
fundraising schemes?

Well, when you say
it like that, I sound like a loser.

When I win my trip
to Fiji,

you don't have
to come.

Oh.

Ok. Maybe you
can come.

Can you grab us
a couple drinks?

Sure.

Sorry. I didn't know
that you were here.

Hey. Wine or beer?

You know, um, it
doesn't matter,

whatever you want.

Hi. Damon Salvatore,
Elena's ex.

Nice to meet you...

Liam.

Liam.

Wait. Damon?

Damon.

As in the ex
who died?

Right. Yeah, um,
that is what I--

what I told you.

Obviously, that's
not true.

It's a figure of speech.
It's more kind of an emotional death.

You know, it was
a very messy breakup,

but we're past
that now, right?

We're--we're
in the friend stage.

Right.

- Yeah.
- Yeah.

So the ex meets
the new guy. Heh.

How freaked out
are you right now?

I feel a little
threatened,

but I think
I could take you.

Confident.
Pfft. Sexy.

Damon.

I'm sorry.
What's going on?

Focus. Go the bar,
get her a chardonnay.

I hate chardonnay.

I know.

What are you doing?

I'll explain
on the dance floor.

May I?

Hello, gorgeous.

What did you do to him?

Oh, he's fine.

Just a little
blood loss.

I think he may have an iron
deficiency problem.

Knock it off.
Her mother's life is on the line.

Hang on.
Just so I'm clear.

All Caroline had to do
to get you to treat her

with a modicum of respect
is to stop paying attention to you.

Is that how his works?

Shut up, Enzo.

And did he really
need 3 chains?

I mean, who is
this guy, the hulk?

Well, I didn't
restrain him.

No, but you let
your sidekick Enzo do it

because what could
go wrong when you team up

with your
sworn enemy?

Oh. That's brilliant.

Of course that's
why she hates you.

That's how you worked
her into such a state in Savannah.

That's why she told you
to go take a leap.

She hates you because
she doesn't hate you at all.

I'm sorry.
Are you still talking?

She got a thing
for you, mate.

Tell your mum
I send my best.

Whatever he just said,
it will never be discussed again, ok?

Mm-hmm.

Why are you
doing this?

Why? Well, because I'm
an incredible dancer,

and it would be a shame not to
share my talent

with the world.

Oh. don't worry.
I didn't see you smile.

Miss Mystic Falls.

First time
we ever danced.

Stefan stood you up--

bloodlust issues,
surprise, surprise--

so I stepped in.

You're trying to
stir up memories.

This isn't a good idea.

I stepped in,
sexy as hell,

and saved you from complete
and utter humiliation.

Of course, you
were just worried about Stefan,

but there was this
moment, this one moment,

where everyone else
fell away,

and it was just
the two of us.

Look. I'm here
with someone, Damon.

You can't just come
unannounced

and ruin my night.

Come unannounced?
What are you talking about?

I literally went
through time and space

to be with you.

I know, but look.

Do you want me
to feel guilty?

Because trust me,
Damon. I do, ok?

I feel horrible,
and I'm sorry,

but I don't--I don't
know what to tell you.

What do you
want me to say?

I don't remember us.

I do, and no matter
how much I missed you

or how much pain I was in,

I never would have erased
everything we ever had.

Even if I was drowning
in grief,

I'd rather hang
on to every moment

that I ever held you

or every laugh
that I ever heard,

every shred of happiness
that we ever had.

I would rather spend
every moment in agony

than erase
the memory of you.

I need some air.

So that seems
to be going well.

Yeah. That's my fault.

I shouldn't have
compelled her.

You shouldn't mix
painkillers and booze.

Whatever you did for Elena,
that's her choice.

Remember that.
No pun intended.

I am not
on painkillers.

In fact, I feel awful,
but I am enjoying

every miserable
human moment of pain.

To being powerless
and mundane.

Cheers.

Ahh. So I guess we are both
formerly supernatural beings.

Should we start
a support group?

Well, technically,
I relinquished my magic

and put it away
for safekeeping.

I didn't know
you could do that.

Let's just say I chose
to remove myself

from a tragically
dysfunctional family,

and I haven't regretted
a moment of it.

Hey. Who let you in?

Oh. A radiologist
I met at the gym.

So what's the story
with Tyler?

It's a short story
called

"mind your
own business."

Liv, I'm not saying
don't have fun, ok,

because that's
why we're here,

but 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.

Liv.

Have fun
with your gym fling.

Leave me to mine.

Yes. Ok.

Where's the last piece?

Where is it?

This isn't happening.

Looking for this?

You stole the Ascendant,
naughty girl.

You weren't planning on using
and leaving it behind, were you?

You left a trail of blood
in the driveway.

Figured where else
would you stop and play nurse?

Vados!

Aah!

Unh! Get off me!

I thought about
taking the keys,

but that'd be like
taking the cheese out

of a mousetrap,
right, Bonnie?

Although, you know,
fun fact.

Mice don't
actually like cheese.

Isn't that great?

Shh, shh, shh.

Shh, shh, shh.

So we have an hour
until the eclipse.

It's time to go
home, Bonnie.

I want to remember.

Well, you're a day late
and a dollar short, huh?

I mean, I want to try.

Knowing that there's
this whole piece of my life missing,

it's--it's driving
me crazy, ok?

So I have to at least
try to get it back.

Yeah.

How are you
supposed to do that?

I know there's nothing
we can do about the compulsion,

but maybe if we unwind
the memories backwards,

something might
trigger something,

and maybe they'll all
come back, right?

Yeah. Sure. Tell me
what you want me to do.

Take me to the last place
I told you I loved you.

I brought you a present.

Ta-da! Ms. Cuddles!

Thought you might want
to bring her along.

Thanks.

I know you think
I'm a monster.

I mean, I did murder or heavily maim
most of my immediate family,

but after a long period
of self-reflection,

I've come
to the conclusion

that I could have
handled my anger better.

You said you wanted
to get out of here--

and I quote--
"to give the rest

of the Gemini coven
an excruciating death."

I didn't mean it.

Honestly, I would do
anything

to get my family back,

and the thing
I'm most scared of

is trying to figure out how
to live in the world again.

Sort of hoping you've
been a positive influence on me.

You're a good person,
Bonnie.

You're brave, loyal,
patient.

I want to be
more like you.

What do you say?

Friends?

Let's just go home.

They're here.

Mom?

Caroline, stop!
The border.

You're bleeding?
What'd you do to her?

I'm fine.

Ok. Let's do this.
Let her go,

and you can have him.

Tripp first.

Let her go,
or I'll kill you.

Sweetheart, it's ok.

Stefan, let Tripp go.

He's across.
Now let her go.

Are you ok?

What's happening
to me?

Oh, my God.

What the hell
did you do?

Wasn't me.

Enzo must have
turned him into a vampire

before we got there.

It's now or never.

Just in case you thought you'd try
to go without me.

So long, 1994.

What the hell's
happening?

I don't know.

Keep going. Hurry.

- I can't.
- Keep going!

I can't. I've lost
my magic.

What are you talking
about?

You were just
doing the spell.

Unh.

There's nothing there.

There's no magic.

It's so strange.

I wonder if I accidentally
put it somewhere.

Oh, I remember now.
I put it somewhere safe.

Where did you
put your magic?

Do you remember saying
you wanted to be more like me--

brave, loyal, patient?

You put it
in the bear, didn't you?

Come on!

Where's
the stupid bear, hmm?

Oh, it's gone. I guess we're
stuck here forever.

Sorry.

I don't remember
being here with you that night.

Ok.

What do you
remember?

How are you rewired?

I remember that we had
to stop the Travelers.

Yeah.

You had a plan,
but you didn't tell

anyone what
you were doing,

and the next thing
I know, you're dead.

I heard that you drove
your car into the grill

and then blew yourself up
so that you could

trigger some explosion.

There's just one little
part of that story

that you're missing.

You got in the car
with me.

What?!

I was all ready to go,
and the door opens,

and you jump
in the car and say,

"We're in this
together,"

and you weren't taking
no for an answer.

That was the moment
I realized you were

the perfect girl for me
because you were

just as crazy as I was.

Ok. Tell me more.
Something happy.

Ok. Happy. Well, there
is a motel ice machine

in Denver that's
got some stories.

What else?

Well, can't forget
the night of your graduation.

Well, I did, so...

Shame. Probably one
of your best speeches.

You in your very passionate
and adorable way

told me you were
in love with me,

and hell if you were
gonna apologize for it.

My favorite memory
of us, oh,

one that I've relived a million
times over the last 4 months

is this summer night
that we had

before you went off
to college.

You wanted to show me
this meteor shower,

so we drove out in
the middle of nowhere,

and the moment those
shooting stars started to fall,

rain, lots of rain.

You were so sure
it would clear,

and it was just easier
to believe you,

and I took your hand...

This isn't working.
I'm sorry.

Hey. Maybe you just need
to try a little harder.

I am trying!

I get that we had
an amazing life together,

and I know that
I loved the fact

that you were reckless
and probably

made me feel
very free,

but now when I look
into your eyes, I just--

What?

What do you feel like?

I feel like...

Like I'm looking
at a stranger

because I'm never gonna
be able to give you what you want,

because I just
can't remember.

Hey. There are
things you can't erase,

and you know that.

Hey.

Sorry.

Where are you going?
Elena! Hey!

Elena!

Elena!

Hey!

What the hell
are you doing?

90 more seconds,
you'd be dead.

Hey.

I'm trying to undo
the compulsion.

It's the only way.

No, no, no, no.

Hey. Listen.

I would give anything
for you to remember,

but I'm not gonna
risk your life.

It's the last thing
I would ever do...

Even if you don't
remember that.

Let's get you home.

This is totally
unnecessary.

You hit your head.

You could have
a concussion,

and I know better than
to trust that

you're going to take yourself
for a checkup back home.

You can go now.
We're fine.

Sweetheart, could
you at least just check and see

how long the wait
is gonna be?

Gladly.

Ok.

I see she's still
icing you out.

Yeah. Anyway, you want
to help me fix that?

Sorry, Stefan.
I'm her mother.

I'm not allowed.

Right.

We'll be right
outside, ok?

Ok.

Please don't ask
my mother for her opinions.

You heard that?

Yeah. I've got superhearing.
I hear everything.

Only when you listen.

Why?

Why was I listening?

Why do you have
a thing for me?

I don't.

Ok. Um...

Why did you have
a thing for me?

We said that we would
never talk about this again, so just--

Look, Caroline, please
just talk to me.

Tell me how,
tell me why.

Please just make me understand
how it is that I missed it.

What kind of a stupid
question is that?

Why did I have
a thing for you?

I don't know, Stefan.
Maybe it's because I thought

you worth having
a thing for,

because when I woke up
as a vampire

you told me that
I would get through it

and I did,

because when I watched Elena
move on with your brother

I couldn't imagine why she would let
anyone like you go,

because you were
practically my best friend,

because I trusted you.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry
for not seeing it,

I'm sorry for not--

Feeling it back?

No. I didn't say that.
I--I--

look. I don't know
what I felt.

You know, my head was
all over the place,

but I am incredibly sorry
for the way that I treated you.

Yeah. Well...

I know what
you felt, Stefan,

because even if just
a little tiny piece of you felt for me

what I was starting
to feel for you

you wouldn't have
walked away,

and I don't hate
you for that.

I don't hate you for
mourning your brother,

I don't hate you for being the biggest
jerk on the planet

while doing so,

and I accept
your apology.

But you do still

hate me.

Yes.

Yeah, I hate you

because if I don't
hate you

for ruining
our friendship,

then I have to hate
myself for ruining it,

and I think that
I deserve better than that.

I remembered something
out there,

just bits and pieces,
but, um...

There were these stars,

and then it started
to rain.

When you became
a vampire, part of me was thrilled

because suddenly there
was this possibility

I could have you
in my life forever,

but then the other part
of me was devastated

because I realized you'd lost the life
that you wanted to have.

It started to rain, and then what
happened, Damon?

And since I've
been gone,

you've gotten part
of that life back.

You're thriving,
you're happy.

Yeah, sure. Maybe you'd be happy
if we gave it another chance,

but the truth is
is...

You're better off
without me.

What are you
talking about?

I died.
You started over.

I need you to live
your life.

Be happy.

I love you, Elena.

Enough to let you go.

It started to rain,

and then what?

It got cold and muddy.

You were miserable,
so we got in the car

and...

We drove home.

Ok.

Ohh.

I might have to rethink
this whole painkiller thing.

I need to get out of this dress
and order a pizza.

Ok.

Ouch.

This? Yeah I had
an accident

when I was younger.

I lost my spleen.

Car accident?

Actually it was less
an accident

and more like my brother tried
to gut me with a hunting knife.

Like I said, tragically
dysfunctional family.

Yeah.

Ha!

I just killed
the mood, didn't I?

No, no. Let's just say,

uh, we both have
complicated, tragic,

and dysfunctional
histories.

Guess we're a match.

Hey.

Hey.

You're still
talking to me.

Sorry I ran out
like that.

What's this?

So I finally got a look
at Lady Whitmore's labs.

Turns out they sent her home
without doing the shoulder surgery

because the injury
doesn't exist anymore.

Seems to have spontaneously
healed itself,

and all this after meeting
your dead boyfriend tonight?

None of this adds up.

The only thing that's
really clear is that you're not just a liar,

but you're a liar
with secrets,

so you can tell me
the truth,

or I can figure this
out on my own.

One for you, one for me.

Cheers, Horatio fell.

Come on. It's time
to abandon ship.

No, no, no, wait.

Just give it a second.

It will clear up.

Promise me this
is forever.

I promise.

To optimism.

Bonnie.

You're still alive.
