The Vampire Diaries (2009–2017): Season 6, Episode 9 - I Alone - full transcript
Matt figures out Enzo is still a threat. Joe and Alaric get closer, while Stefen and Caroline have their own issues.
Previously
on "The Vampire Diaries"...
I get that we had
an amazing life together,
but now I feel like
I'm looking at a stranger.
To get home, we'll harness
the power of the eclipse,
using an Ascendant.
What about Bonnie?
She sacrificed
herself so I could come back.
Jo is
his sister?
In our coven, Kai
wanted to be the leader,
but that wasn't possible if
Lukas and Olivia were alive.
I'm not gonna
let you die.
If Kai gets out,
he'll head straight for Jo.
His ability to siphon
magic will overwhelm Jo,
and our coven will be left
to the whims of a madman.
To do the spell,
all I need is Bennett blood.
The bastard
took the car.
The Ascendant's
with me.
We're not letting
her brother out, all right?
The Ascendant is
off the table.
Ok. Get the Ascendant
from Jo.
I understand.
Look. I'm
at a crossroads.
Any chance you'd be
willing to help me bring
my best friend
Bonnie back?
Sure.
Knock knock.
Hey. Come on in.
Oh. It's one
of those nights.
Oh, wow.
Your enthusiasm is amazing.
I'm sorry.
I've had a day
from hell,
and I didn't
mean it.
I did actually, but I'm gonna
call take backs, ok?
Ok.
Ooh, you got
Thai food.
You know, I knew I should
have led with the food.
Well, this is perfect.
I'm starving.
Aww. Where's yours?
Oh. Very funny.
You didn't compel him
to get her drunk.
No. I compelled him
to do whatever it takes,
and considering
the Ascendant is the key
to her psycho brother's
weird prison world,
I'm sure it's gonna take her a few to
open up about it.
I swear your dad
loves me. Ha ha ha!
I have never been given
so clear a blessing.
You went to see him,
and he tried to kill me.
How's that a blessing?
Because he didn't
try to kill me.
He just banished me
from your creepy childhood home.
It wasn't creepy
back then.
Once your brother
brutally murders your siblings,
creep sets in.
Oh. So you just--
you just ran.
I didn't run.
They let me go.
We made a deal.
Betray your brother
and get
your freedom.
So where does
the Ascendant fall under this deal?
They didn't know
I had it.
By the time I found out,
I was gone.
I still don't understand
why you'd want it.
It makes me feel safe,
like I'm in control.
As long as I have it, then no one
can use it to get Kai out.
Kai can't get me.
Embarrassing,
but I actually used
sleep with it
under my pillow.
Used to?
Yes, used to. I am
a grownup now obviously,
and I keep it in my underwear drawer
next to my pot.
Oh, ok.
Well, that explains
why you're
always hungry.
No. I'm always hungry
because I'm a vegetarian.
Ok. Ha ha ha!
Well...
The last of it.
Good.
No more distractions.
You realize he is gonna kill you
when he finds out what you did to him.
My relationship to ruin,
thank you.
I didn't complain when
you ruined yours with Caroline.
I didn't ruin my--
Yeah. I'm sure
she's fine.
She's on vacation
with her mom,
eating ice cream out
of the carton,
convincing herself she never liked you
in the first place.
You done?
Careful, Stefan.
I know it may
seem easy to be
the big bad Salvatore,
but soon, you'll find yourself lying in
the middle of the road,
pouring your heart out
to a stranger,
having
an existential crisis.
Yeah, great. So, uh,
when's this grand theft gonna happen?
Assuming everything
went well,
it's already happened,
which means...
Here it is.
Thanks, buddy.
There you go.
Go home to Jo,
be a good boyfriend,
forget this
ever happened.

I Alone
Original Air Date on December 4, 2014
== sync, corrected by elderman ==
@elder_man
Seriously, I shouldn't
be winning.
Two weeks without booze
doesn't make you iron man.
I can still vamp
circles around you.
You mean, you can cheat.
Ha! Or I could pants you
in front of the entire
women's volleyball team.
Doubt they'd mind.
Ok. I give up.
What did you do with my miserable
half-drunk brother?
He canceled Bonnie's
cell phone,
cried until there was
nothing left,
and got all the grief
out of his system.
He is ready
to move on.
What?
It's about Bonnie.
Damon said she
found peace.
He thought Kai
had killed her,
but he just found out
that she's alive,
and he's doing
everything that he can to--
So you're back
to defending him. Wow!
And all it took was
one hollow promise
to bring Bonnie back.
No. No, no, no, Jer.
It's not hollow.
Liv's looking for a way
to send us over there
so that we can find
Bonnie and bring her back.
And if you can't?
Jer, this is good news.
You're right, Elena.
This is good news.
Tonight, I'm gonna see
Bonnie again,
and everything is gonna
go back to the way it was
because I have never
heard that before.
I brought you to Mystic Falls
to keep you safe
from your crazy-ass
witch family.
You can't just leave because Damon
wants you to do some spell.
So, what, I'm
a prisoner here?
Do I look like Rapunzel?
Well, actually.
Look. Why can't
Luke do it?
Because he is busy
enjoying his last few weeks
as a singular twin
with his sugar daddy
radiologist,
and I'd like to
enjoy mine.
Matt, help me
out here.
I can't.
It's for Bonnie.
Tyler, I can't stay
locked up in here any longer.
I'm out of clothes,
and I've had pizza for breakfast
every day this week.
We've got to get back
to our normal lives.
If you leave and your
coven finds you--
They'll make me merge
with my brother?
Hey. It's not all bad.
If I survive,
you'll be dating
the all-powerful leader
of the Gemini coven,
and if I don't,
you can date Luke.
Hey.
This isn't a joke
to me, ok?
Well, I have to
laugh at it
because if I start imagining my life
stuck in this town
running away
from my family,
I will fall apart.
I'll find a way.
And that was an actual fight
two people just had
over a twin-merge?
This town is so weird.
You'll get used
to it.
Or I won't,
and a vampire will kill me
like they killed
your friend Tripp.
That's not gonna happen
because I won't let it.
And with that, the Mystic Falls
community protection program
is officially
disbanded.
You know what
that means.
I helped you,
now you help me.
Time for a little
family reunion.
What does Matt
want with Stefan?
I don't know.
It's Matt.
Food, money,
new social class.
Whatever it is,
it better distract Stefan
from his sizeable
screw-up with Caroline.
Did you know about that,
how she felt about him?
She told me
a little while back,
and whatever
you're thinking,
I want both of them
to be happy.
Even if she compels away
all the things she likes about him?
Hey.
Thanks
for doing this.
Don't worry about.
I needed an excuse
to get out of that
frat house.
Way too much boy.
Gross.
You got everything?
Yep. Blood
from a Bennett--
Lucy to be exact--
and an Ascendant
from whatever the hell
your last name is.
Parker.
So this is
the famous Ascendant?
Yup.
Surprised that Jo
gave it up.
Why?
It's the only thing
keeping Kai locked in his prison.
If he gets out,
he's coming after Jo.
Well, good old Jo--
heh heh--helping us out.
Can we do this, please?
Whatever. So I'm gonna
need the moon
to activate
the Ascendant.
It will be viable
for about 8 hours,
so once I send you over,
the clock's ticking.
And how do we
get back?
Drink these.
What is that?
It's my blood.
It will link you to me
so I can find you
and bring you back.
Give this one
to Bonnie, too.
Are you waiting
for a toast?
Drink.
Mmm. Bitter.
Wonder why.
Shall we?
Hey.
I used to come here
every day
after the accident
for months.
This is where your
parents are buried.
Yeah, but not in 1994.
In 1994, they were
still alive.
Yeah. So is Bonnie.
So let's go get her.
Just keep your
eyes peeled.
There's a pork rind-munching freak
somewhere around here.
Ok?
Yeah.
Come on.
You ever worn
skinny jeans?
Agh. It seems wrong.
I'm all bunched up.
Also, why are jeans
so tight
when phones are
so big?
I don't know what
to tell you, pal.
Oh, God.
I'm that guy, right?
That guy that
won't shut up.
Oh, I hate that guy.
I just sat next
to that guy on the plane.
He was the worst.
Hey. Speaking of planes,
have you flown recently?
Because what's
with the whole liquid situation
and the stripping before you go
through security thing?
It's weird.
They're worried
about terrorists.
Ok. Well, I'm sorry,
but the real terrorists
are some of those people
taking off their shoes.
I know I'm chatty.
Sorry.
I've just been
in prison for awhile.
Not like a regular prison,
you know, more like a...
All right.
We're here.
Special kind of...
That will be 30.
All right.
Jeans.
Uh, will you
take this?
Hang on. Hang on.
I got it.
Oh. Hey. Gum. Nice.
Come on, buddy.
I don't have all day. Let's go.
I got it. Hold on.
Huh. Well...
I guess this
will do.
Thank you.
Bonnie?
Nothing. You?
No, and I looked
in every room
plus the basement.
Damon, you--you don't
think that Kai--
Look. Let's not jump to depressing
conclusions yet, ok?
Ok.
Oh, my god. Damon.
Oh, my god, Damon.
This is blood.
And we're jumping.
What are you doing?
If Kai has Bonnie,
we need to talk.
So you're gonna
call him?
I'm gonna page
him actually.
Sorry. Forgot you
were two in 1994.
Pagers are an ancient form
of telecommunication.
I know what
a pager is.
How does it work?
We dial jackass's number
555-HIYA-KAI...
We leave our number...
And then we hang up.
And now what?
And now we sit by the phone like
a 13-year-old girl
and wait.
Relax.
I'm about to meet
one of my only living relatives.
Uh, technically,
he's not living.
So Stefan has
extended family.
I'm intrigued.
Enzo, what the hell
are you doing here?
Apparently rescuing
this one from the world's
most dreadful lunch.
Matt and Stefan?
Sweetheart, you can do so much better.
Me for example.
I'm Enzo.
The guy who
killed Tripp.
Oh, my God.
For the record,
he did try
and kill me first.
You are the most
terrible wingman.
Enzo, leave.
Or what?
Or maybe I'll pick up
where Tripp left off.
Go on then.
Hey. I really wouldn't
do that if I were you.
You hurt him,
and, uh, I hurt you,
and really don't feel
like cleaning up two corpses today.
Making threats in front of
impressionable family.
How brutish.
What are you
talking about?
Me.
He's, uh, talking
about me.
I'm Zach and Gail's daughter
Sarah Salvatore.
Um...
Well, I am officially in hell.
This place is my own
personal hell.
Whoa!
Oh. Hey!
What was that?
Uh, it's my
audition tape
for "Real World:
London."
Fingers crossed.
I think I'm finally gonna make it.
That was
a video journal.
What? No. Journals
are lame,
especially video ones.
Then why did you say
you thought this was
your own personal hell?
Well, I mean, because
I was stuck here with Bonnie.
What could be worse
than that?
Damon.
Kai, if you so much
as hurt one hair
on her annoying
little witch head,
I will kill you
and--
That was
so sweet.
Why'd you ruin it
by calling me annoying?
Bonnie?
Elena?
Elena, is that you?
Yes! It's me.
I'm here.
I'm at the Salvatore house
in...in 1994.
I can't believe
I'm hearing your voice right now.
How are you here?
It's a long story.
Just know that
I'm here to get you.
Ahh.
So Kai just left
you in Portland?
After cooking me Thanksgiving spaghetti
and stealing my blood.
It's been a strange
few days.
Where is he now?
Don't know.
I hotwired a car,
and I'm on my way back
to Mystic Falls.
Hang on.
You hotwired a car?
Who are you?
A badass apparently.
A badass in Muncie.
Well, Muncie's about
6 1/2 hours away,
give or take
a knuckle.
Liv's pulling us out
in 7.
If you don't stop to use the little
witches' room anymore
I can make it in time.
I'm going home.
You're coming home.
We'll see you soon.
Ok.
You're worried
about Kai.
If he's got Bonnie's
blood and the Ascendant,
he's got everything
he needs to get out.
What if he's
already out?
How can I help you?
One Zima, please.
Hilarious.
Are you going to
order something
or just gonna stare?
Ok. Uh, how about
a soda...
Liv?
Heh. Liv. Ironic.
Where is it?
That's
a cryptic question,
accusatory tone.
This doesn't bode
well for me.
Good. Deflect,
make a joke.
That'll fix this.
What are you
talking about?
The Ascendant.
Where is it?
I have no idea.
You must think
I'm an idiot.
To be fair, I am one.
Wine, Thai food,
that's all it takes.
Jo, I don't have it.
Did you tell Damon
where it is?
No. No. Look.
We all agreed
to find another way
to get Bonnie back.
Do you honestly
think this is
my normal
afternoon reading?
You and I are the only ones who
knew where it was.
It's gone!
Ok. Look.
I swear to you
I didn't tell
anyone, ok?
I would never
tell anybody.
You're right.
You'd never tell anyone.
It doesn't mean
you didn't.
What are you saying?
Damon is a vampire.
Are you saying
Damon compelled me?
Heh.
Look. He wouldn't
do that.
He's my friend.
Ok. Let's prove it.
We're going to Mystic Falls.
If you're compelled,
it will go away
when we walk
across the border.
If nothing happens,
then you're right.
He's your friend.
Bon appetit.
Hang on.
What?
Nothing. Let's eat.
Ok. Who mangled
the crossword?
6 letters,
illiterate witch, B.
This is about Kai
and Jo.
Yep. Kai's greatest hits
staring us in the face every day.
If Kai's out, he's gonna
go after Jo again.
Damon, he's gonna
kill her.
Well, if I have
my Gemini rules down,
actually, he's going to
merge with her,
which will most likely
result in her death,
which I guess
is 6 of 1--
Then why would she
give you the Ascendant?
Um...
Because I asked her
very nicely?
You want
some music maybe?
I'm gonna turn on
some music.
It was the one thing
trapping Kai,
and she just
gave it to you?
We have Nirvana,
Nine Inch Nails,
Boyz II Men--Stefan's.
Damon.
Fine.
She didn't give it
to me.
Alaric stole it
from her.
Alaric stole from her.
After I compelled him.
What?
Elena, stop.
Of course you compel
your best friend.
I mean, why would
that be off limits?
Hey. I'm trying to
get Bonnie back!
Oh, just--just--no.
Don't.
Damon, I want Bonnie
back more than anything.
She's my best friend,
but to you,
she's something else,
isn't she?
She's a chance for me
to realize
what a great guy
you are
so that I can fall
in love with you all over again.
It doesn't matter
who gets hurt in the process
as long as Damon gets
what Damon wants.
She's saying
you're stupid,
and Stefan
is agreeing.
Ooh. Now she's
saying you're good for nothing,
and Stefan
is disagreeing.
He says you're
a great punch line to a joke.
Everyone hates you.
Don't be jealous
you can't vamp hear
because you're
a big blond bowl of mush.
Just be thankful
I don't fancy mush.
So after the third group home,
I got myself
emancipated,
which is surprisingly
difficult, by the way.
Yeah. You seem like the type
that would do better on your own.
Hey. Do you want
a drink?
Sure.
Hey. Excuse me.
Can we get two
chocolate milk shakes,
please?
It's a, uh, Salvatore
family tradition.
I'm all for
family traditions.
All right. Listen.
In 10 seconds,
you're gonna get up
and walk out of here with me,
smiling, acting like
nothing's wrong.
The acting part
shouldn't be too hard for you.
I know you're lying.
Ready to go?
Hey.
Where you guys
going?
Oh, just a little
family drive.
It's ok, Matt,
I promise.
I'll call you
in a bit.
All right.
You on Twitter?
Ah. I just signed up.
You should follow me.
Cobrakai1972.
Come on.
Like "Karate Kid"?
Did you know you can
follow celebrities?
Heh. They all Twitter
the stupidest things.
It's--it's hilarious.
It's kind of dead.
I think I'm gonna
close up.
Oh. Hang on,
hang on.
I'm gonna get
a real drink.
No bourbon. I'm secure enough
in my masculinity.
Vodka's boring,
rum's too tropical.
Ooh. Tequila. You do not want to
see me on Tequila.
What about gin?
Is that weird?
Not if you're
a 50-year-old,
but seeing as you
look 19,
I'm gonna need to see
some I.D.
Oh. Of course.
Of course.
1972. Nice try.
No. True story,
but that's not
the most interesting
thing on that I.D.
Here. Look again.
Name, address.
Malachai Parker.
Oh, my God. Ahhh.
- Last time I saw you...
- Aah!
I was trying to
kill you.
Why don't we pick up
where we left off?
I don't think so.
Ugh!
Life is so much
easier with magic.
Unh! Feels kind of
like cheating.
I'm sad you didn't
recognize me.
That means dad erased all trace
of my existence--
family pictures,
movies,
little handprint
turkey I made.
What a dick.
You stay the hell
away from me.
You were always so bad
at hide-and-seek.
I mean, you were 4,
but still,
find a better
hiding spot.
Aah!
I think she did
just fine.
Let's get out of here.
You don't find it
the least bit strange
that they just
up and left?
I told you she's
his family.
If they want to talk,
let them talk.
What the hell
do you care?
Because I care
about the truth,
care about authenticity.
Or you just hate
Stefan.
I do actually, yeah.
He abandoned his brother,
turned me over
to a vampire hunter,
and he hurt the one girl
who can honestly
do no wrong.
That's not why I care.
No. I care because
he does all that
and is still
considered a hero
when I get stuck
being a villain.
Yeah, because you
kill people.
What, and Stefan
doesn't?
Come on. You and I
both know that's not true.
I'm just up front
about it,
but Stefan, no,
who knows what he's done?
He's just a liar
with a little box of secrets.
Come on, Mush.
Let's open the box.
I told you Zach Salvatore
is my father,
Gail is my mother.
I have these pictures.
Ah. That's your
big evidence,
a picture you stole?
You gave yourself up
the second you got in the car.
Why don't you
believe me?
Because right now,
Sarah Salvatore is in her dorm room
at Duke university,
where she studies as an art major,
and she didn't bounce
from group home to group home.
She was adopted right
out of the hospital by a great family.
I made sure of it.
You know her.
She's my family.
Even though she
doesn't know me,
I've looked out
for her
for her entire life.
Now who the hell
are you?
Monique.
My name is Monique.
May 10, 1994,
I had a day.
I was mad at Stefan
for something.
I don't even
remember what it was,
and in typical Damon fashion,
I acted out.
People died.
A lot of them,
and believe it or not,
ever since that day,
I've felt
horribly guilty.
So I thought that this
was my hell, Elena...
But you know
who didn't?
Bonnie.
She had hope
for both of us.
She's the reason
I survived,
the reason
I made it out.
Who knew? Turns out
you spend time with someone
and don't kill them,
you actually become friends.
I'm doing this
for Bonnie, Elena, not for you.
And that's it.
Damon and Bonnie.
Who would have
thought?
Pfft. Don't make this
any weirder than it needs to be.
She's probably passing
Whitmore right now.
If she's not lost.
She has a terrible
sense of direction.
You know, I could
have sworn that this used to squeak.
It did.
I fixed it.
Bonnie and I came here
every day.
It as the closest thing
I had to a picture of you,
and I needed every
reminder I could get.
It's funny.
I used to have so many good memories
of this house,
and after just one bad one,
I burned it down.
I just couldn't bear
to look at it again.
I just can't
believe it's gone.
You want to go inside?
Yeah. Yeah, I do.
I'm sorry I compelled
away the memories.
They were only
half mine.
We'll make new ones.
Do you feel that?
Oh, no.
No. No. We shouldn't
be back yet.
Damon, we have
another hour.
What did you do?
Kai is here. We have to get back
to Mystic Falls
before he takes any
more of her magic.
No. Send me back first.
I can't.
Bonnie was on her way.
Send me back!
Unh!
Elena, you're
over the border.
I'm sorry, Elena.
No. No.
I met Sarah
at sleep-away camp,
or as my foster family
liked to call it,
get the hell out
of my house camp.
Sarah had a great life.
Me? Not so much.
So when I found out
that she had no desire
to find
her real family--
You decided to find
them for her.
Couldn't be any worse
than what I had.
Well, considering the fact that
my brother killed her mom
while she was pregnant,
I don't know about that.
I let him believe
that the baby died.
I wanted to protect her.
Even though my brother's
not the same person he was before,
it's safer if he
doesn't know.
I know that may be
a little bit extreme,
but I want her to have
a normal life no matter what.
See, the problem is
with you around,
there's a threat now,
someone who knows her
other than me.
I'm not gonna hurt you.
I just need you to
take off your Vervain.
You've never met or heard
of Sarah Salvatore.
Forget everything
that happened here,
leave Virginia,
and never come back.
Hey!
You ok?
Who are you?
You compelled her?
Why?
She's not my family,
she's a con artist,
and I'm just trying
to get rid of her.
Get out of here.
Aah! What the hell?
No screaming, luv,
and don't move.
Enzo, what are
you doing?
I want the whole story,
the one not obscured
by the dulcet tones of a blender.
I told you she's
a con artist.
There is no
Sarah Salvatore.
That baby died
when Damon killed her mom.
Then why listen to this one
blather on for 20 minutes,
why whisk her away
to speak privately, hmm?
Why wipe her memory,
Stefan?
She knows something.
Come on. Don't do this.
Just let her go.
See? He's digging in.
Can always spot a liar.
How about a countdown?
That's fair
for everyone, right?
5 seconds.
4...3...
Enzo, let her go,
or I swear--
You'll what?
I will kill you.
Will you? Because
Stefan's 5 seconds are up.
No!
Don't be stupid.
Don't be stupid.
Just think. All of this could
have been avoided
if you'd have
just told the truth.
No matter. I'll find out
sooner or later.
Bonnie's gonna get
to the house,
and we will be gone.
Until the next comet
or full moon or eclipse.
As long as we have that,
we can go back
as many times as we need
until we get her back.
Wait. Are you guys
talking about Bonnie Bennett?
Because honestly, I didn't think she
was all that great.
No!
I am gonna enjoy
the hell out of this.
Oh, hey. Me, too.
Oh, yeah. Damon,
I, uh, I stole some of Liv's magic
when I tried
to kill her.
Think some of it might
still be in my system,
so pardon me.
Unh!
Uh-uh-uh.
You missed one.
Phesmatos incendia.
Aah!
No!
Aah!
Unh!
Oh, God.
You ok?
Huh.
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.
Whoops.
Look. I'm sorry that
Enzo killed her. He's--
A monster.
Yeah, I know,
but you could have
stopped him, and you didn't.
What, you think that
was easy for me,
watching
an innocent girl die?
I don't know
actually.
You're not exactly
the sharing type.
Matt, I promise you
that everything I do
I have thought out
over and over,
making sure it's
the right thing to do.
So we're just supposed
to trust that you know best?
No. You're supposed
to trust that I'm nothing like Enzo.
The problem is you are
because no matter
how close vampires
get to humans,
our lives will always
mean less,
so when push comes to shove,
we'll be on opposite sides,
which is what Tripp knew
and I didn't.
Jeremy?
Let me guess.
She's not with you?
She was on her way,
but--
but at the last minute,
something went wrong,
and it didn't work.
I bet Damon's fine,
isn't he?
Don't do that.
Why not?
Because I think
channeling your rage
might be
a better option.
How do you feel about
being a hunter again?
Why?
Because I want you
to help me kill Enzo.
So Jo drove me
across the border.
I told her
she was crazy,
that you'd never
compel me.
Look, Ric.
We had to get
Bonnie back.
Getting Bonnie back was
never off the table.
What was off the table
was compelling me to
steal from my girlfriend
when we had promised her
we'd keep her brother
locked way.
- Yeah, I know.
- Where is he--Kai?
He's out,
but it's not our fa--
I left Bonnie a note
at the house.
I told her we would be
on your front porch.
She'd probably be
there now
with about
a half an hour to spare.
She sacrificed
everything for us
over and over again,
and then we were
supposed to be there
for her.
She's all alone.
I think gin gets
a bad rap.
I'd rather not
kill you,
but I will.
What the hell
do you want?
This is gonna
sound crazy,
but I'm want to save
Liv's life.
Feel like making
a deal with the devil?

@elder_man
on "The Vampire Diaries"...
I get that we had
an amazing life together,
but now I feel like
I'm looking at a stranger.
To get home, we'll harness
the power of the eclipse,
using an Ascendant.
What about Bonnie?
She sacrificed
herself so I could come back.
Jo is
his sister?
In our coven, Kai
wanted to be the leader,
but that wasn't possible if
Lukas and Olivia were alive.
I'm not gonna
let you die.
If Kai gets out,
he'll head straight for Jo.
His ability to siphon
magic will overwhelm Jo,
and our coven will be left
to the whims of a madman.
To do the spell,
all I need is Bennett blood.
The bastard
took the car.
The Ascendant's
with me.
We're not letting
her brother out, all right?
The Ascendant is
off the table.
Ok. Get the Ascendant
from Jo.
I understand.
Look. I'm
at a crossroads.
Any chance you'd be
willing to help me bring
my best friend
Bonnie back?
Sure.
Knock knock.
Hey. Come on in.
Oh. It's one
of those nights.
Oh, wow.
Your enthusiasm is amazing.
I'm sorry.
I've had a day
from hell,
and I didn't
mean it.
I did actually, but I'm gonna
call take backs, ok?
Ok.
Ooh, you got
Thai food.
You know, I knew I should
have led with the food.
Well, this is perfect.
I'm starving.
Aww. Where's yours?
Oh. Very funny.
You didn't compel him
to get her drunk.
No. I compelled him
to do whatever it takes,
and considering
the Ascendant is the key
to her psycho brother's
weird prison world,
I'm sure it's gonna take her a few to
open up about it.
I swear your dad
loves me. Ha ha ha!
I have never been given
so clear a blessing.
You went to see him,
and he tried to kill me.
How's that a blessing?
Because he didn't
try to kill me.
He just banished me
from your creepy childhood home.
It wasn't creepy
back then.
Once your brother
brutally murders your siblings,
creep sets in.
Oh. So you just--
you just ran.
I didn't run.
They let me go.
We made a deal.
Betray your brother
and get
your freedom.
So where does
the Ascendant fall under this deal?
They didn't know
I had it.
By the time I found out,
I was gone.
I still don't understand
why you'd want it.
It makes me feel safe,
like I'm in control.
As long as I have it, then no one
can use it to get Kai out.
Kai can't get me.
Embarrassing,
but I actually used
sleep with it
under my pillow.
Used to?
Yes, used to. I am
a grownup now obviously,
and I keep it in my underwear drawer
next to my pot.
Oh, ok.
Well, that explains
why you're
always hungry.
No. I'm always hungry
because I'm a vegetarian.
Ok. Ha ha ha!
Well...
The last of it.
Good.
No more distractions.
You realize he is gonna kill you
when he finds out what you did to him.
My relationship to ruin,
thank you.
I didn't complain when
you ruined yours with Caroline.
I didn't ruin my--
Yeah. I'm sure
she's fine.
She's on vacation
with her mom,
eating ice cream out
of the carton,
convincing herself she never liked you
in the first place.
You done?
Careful, Stefan.
I know it may
seem easy to be
the big bad Salvatore,
but soon, you'll find yourself lying in
the middle of the road,
pouring your heart out
to a stranger,
having
an existential crisis.
Yeah, great. So, uh,
when's this grand theft gonna happen?
Assuming everything
went well,
it's already happened,
which means...
Here it is.
Thanks, buddy.
There you go.
Go home to Jo,
be a good boyfriend,
forget this
ever happened.

Original Air Date on December 4, 2014

@elder_man
Seriously, I shouldn't
be winning.
Two weeks without booze
doesn't make you iron man.
I can still vamp
circles around you.
You mean, you can cheat.
Ha! Or I could pants you
in front of the entire
women's volleyball team.
Doubt they'd mind.
Ok. I give up.
What did you do with my miserable
half-drunk brother?
He canceled Bonnie's
cell phone,
cried until there was
nothing left,
and got all the grief
out of his system.
He is ready
to move on.
What?
It's about Bonnie.
Damon said she
found peace.
He thought Kai
had killed her,
but he just found out
that she's alive,
and he's doing
everything that he can to--
So you're back
to defending him. Wow!
And all it took was
one hollow promise
to bring Bonnie back.
No. No, no, no, Jer.
It's not hollow.
Liv's looking for a way
to send us over there
so that we can find
Bonnie and bring her back.
And if you can't?
Jer, this is good news.
You're right, Elena.
This is good news.
Tonight, I'm gonna see
Bonnie again,
and everything is gonna
go back to the way it was
because I have never
heard that before.
I brought you to Mystic Falls
to keep you safe
from your crazy-ass
witch family.
You can't just leave because Damon
wants you to do some spell.
So, what, I'm
a prisoner here?
Do I look like Rapunzel?
Well, actually.
Look. Why can't
Luke do it?
Because he is busy
enjoying his last few weeks
as a singular twin
with his sugar daddy
radiologist,
and I'd like to
enjoy mine.
Matt, help me
out here.
I can't.
It's for Bonnie.
Tyler, I can't stay
locked up in here any longer.
I'm out of clothes,
and I've had pizza for breakfast
every day this week.
We've got to get back
to our normal lives.
If you leave and your
coven finds you--
They'll make me merge
with my brother?
Hey. It's not all bad.
If I survive,
you'll be dating
the all-powerful leader
of the Gemini coven,
and if I don't,
you can date Luke.
Hey.
This isn't a joke
to me, ok?
Well, I have to
laugh at it
because if I start imagining my life
stuck in this town
running away
from my family,
I will fall apart.
I'll find a way.
And that was an actual fight
two people just had
over a twin-merge?
This town is so weird.
You'll get used
to it.
Or I won't,
and a vampire will kill me
like they killed
your friend Tripp.
That's not gonna happen
because I won't let it.
And with that, the Mystic Falls
community protection program
is officially
disbanded.
You know what
that means.
I helped you,
now you help me.
Time for a little
family reunion.
What does Matt
want with Stefan?
I don't know.
It's Matt.
Food, money,
new social class.
Whatever it is,
it better distract Stefan
from his sizeable
screw-up with Caroline.
Did you know about that,
how she felt about him?
She told me
a little while back,
and whatever
you're thinking,
I want both of them
to be happy.
Even if she compels away
all the things she likes about him?
Hey.
Thanks
for doing this.
Don't worry about.
I needed an excuse
to get out of that
frat house.
Way too much boy.
Gross.
You got everything?
Yep. Blood
from a Bennett--
Lucy to be exact--
and an Ascendant
from whatever the hell
your last name is.
Parker.
So this is
the famous Ascendant?
Yup.
Surprised that Jo
gave it up.
Why?
It's the only thing
keeping Kai locked in his prison.
If he gets out,
he's coming after Jo.
Well, good old Jo--
heh heh--helping us out.
Can we do this, please?
Whatever. So I'm gonna
need the moon
to activate
the Ascendant.
It will be viable
for about 8 hours,
so once I send you over,
the clock's ticking.
And how do we
get back?
Drink these.
What is that?
It's my blood.
It will link you to me
so I can find you
and bring you back.
Give this one
to Bonnie, too.
Are you waiting
for a toast?
Drink.
Mmm. Bitter.
Wonder why.
Shall we?
Hey.
I used to come here
every day
after the accident
for months.
This is where your
parents are buried.
Yeah, but not in 1994.
In 1994, they were
still alive.
Yeah. So is Bonnie.
So let's go get her.
Just keep your
eyes peeled.
There's a pork rind-munching freak
somewhere around here.
Ok?
Yeah.
Come on.
You ever worn
skinny jeans?
Agh. It seems wrong.
I'm all bunched up.
Also, why are jeans
so tight
when phones are
so big?
I don't know what
to tell you, pal.
Oh, God.
I'm that guy, right?
That guy that
won't shut up.
Oh, I hate that guy.
I just sat next
to that guy on the plane.
He was the worst.
Hey. Speaking of planes,
have you flown recently?
Because what's
with the whole liquid situation
and the stripping before you go
through security thing?
It's weird.
They're worried
about terrorists.
Ok. Well, I'm sorry,
but the real terrorists
are some of those people
taking off their shoes.
I know I'm chatty.
Sorry.
I've just been
in prison for awhile.
Not like a regular prison,
you know, more like a...
All right.
We're here.
Special kind of...
That will be 30.
All right.
Jeans.
Uh, will you
take this?
Hang on. Hang on.
I got it.
Oh. Hey. Gum. Nice.
Come on, buddy.
I don't have all day. Let's go.
I got it. Hold on.
Huh. Well...
I guess this
will do.
Thank you.
Bonnie?
Nothing. You?
No, and I looked
in every room
plus the basement.
Damon, you--you don't
think that Kai--
Look. Let's not jump to depressing
conclusions yet, ok?
Ok.
Oh, my god. Damon.
Oh, my god, Damon.
This is blood.
And we're jumping.
What are you doing?
If Kai has Bonnie,
we need to talk.
So you're gonna
call him?
I'm gonna page
him actually.
Sorry. Forgot you
were two in 1994.
Pagers are an ancient form
of telecommunication.
I know what
a pager is.
How does it work?
We dial jackass's number
555-HIYA-KAI...
We leave our number...
And then we hang up.
And now what?
And now we sit by the phone like
a 13-year-old girl
and wait.
Relax.
I'm about to meet
one of my only living relatives.
Uh, technically,
he's not living.
So Stefan has
extended family.
I'm intrigued.
Enzo, what the hell
are you doing here?
Apparently rescuing
this one from the world's
most dreadful lunch.
Matt and Stefan?
Sweetheart, you can do so much better.
Me for example.
I'm Enzo.
The guy who
killed Tripp.
Oh, my God.
For the record,
he did try
and kill me first.
You are the most
terrible wingman.
Enzo, leave.
Or what?
Or maybe I'll pick up
where Tripp left off.
Go on then.
Hey. I really wouldn't
do that if I were you.
You hurt him,
and, uh, I hurt you,
and really don't feel
like cleaning up two corpses today.
Making threats in front of
impressionable family.
How brutish.
What are you
talking about?
Me.
He's, uh, talking
about me.
I'm Zach and Gail's daughter
Sarah Salvatore.
Um...
Well, I am officially in hell.
This place is my own
personal hell.
Whoa!
Oh. Hey!
What was that?
Uh, it's my
audition tape
for "Real World:
London."
Fingers crossed.
I think I'm finally gonna make it.
That was
a video journal.
What? No. Journals
are lame,
especially video ones.
Then why did you say
you thought this was
your own personal hell?
Well, I mean, because
I was stuck here with Bonnie.
What could be worse
than that?
Damon.
Kai, if you so much
as hurt one hair
on her annoying
little witch head,
I will kill you
and--
That was
so sweet.
Why'd you ruin it
by calling me annoying?
Bonnie?
Elena?
Elena, is that you?
Yes! It's me.
I'm here.
I'm at the Salvatore house
in...in 1994.
I can't believe
I'm hearing your voice right now.
How are you here?
It's a long story.
Just know that
I'm here to get you.
Ahh.
So Kai just left
you in Portland?
After cooking me Thanksgiving spaghetti
and stealing my blood.
It's been a strange
few days.
Where is he now?
Don't know.
I hotwired a car,
and I'm on my way back
to Mystic Falls.
Hang on.
You hotwired a car?
Who are you?
A badass apparently.
A badass in Muncie.
Well, Muncie's about
6 1/2 hours away,
give or take
a knuckle.
Liv's pulling us out
in 7.
If you don't stop to use the little
witches' room anymore
I can make it in time.
I'm going home.
You're coming home.
We'll see you soon.
Ok.
You're worried
about Kai.
If he's got Bonnie's
blood and the Ascendant,
he's got everything
he needs to get out.
What if he's
already out?
How can I help you?
One Zima, please.
Hilarious.
Are you going to
order something
or just gonna stare?
Ok. Uh, how about
a soda...
Liv?
Heh. Liv. Ironic.
Where is it?
That's
a cryptic question,
accusatory tone.
This doesn't bode
well for me.
Good. Deflect,
make a joke.
That'll fix this.
What are you
talking about?
The Ascendant.
Where is it?
I have no idea.
You must think
I'm an idiot.
To be fair, I am one.
Wine, Thai food,
that's all it takes.
Jo, I don't have it.
Did you tell Damon
where it is?
No. No. Look.
We all agreed
to find another way
to get Bonnie back.
Do you honestly
think this is
my normal
afternoon reading?
You and I are the only ones who
knew where it was.
It's gone!
Ok. Look.
I swear to you
I didn't tell
anyone, ok?
I would never
tell anybody.
You're right.
You'd never tell anyone.
It doesn't mean
you didn't.
What are you saying?
Damon is a vampire.
Are you saying
Damon compelled me?
Heh.
Look. He wouldn't
do that.
He's my friend.
Ok. Let's prove it.
We're going to Mystic Falls.
If you're compelled,
it will go away
when we walk
across the border.
If nothing happens,
then you're right.
He's your friend.
Bon appetit.
Hang on.
What?
Nothing. Let's eat.
Ok. Who mangled
the crossword?
6 letters,
illiterate witch, B.
This is about Kai
and Jo.
Yep. Kai's greatest hits
staring us in the face every day.
If Kai's out, he's gonna
go after Jo again.
Damon, he's gonna
kill her.
Well, if I have
my Gemini rules down,
actually, he's going to
merge with her,
which will most likely
result in her death,
which I guess
is 6 of 1--
Then why would she
give you the Ascendant?
Um...
Because I asked her
very nicely?
You want
some music maybe?
I'm gonna turn on
some music.
It was the one thing
trapping Kai,
and she just
gave it to you?
We have Nirvana,
Nine Inch Nails,
Boyz II Men--Stefan's.
Damon.
Fine.
She didn't give it
to me.
Alaric stole it
from her.
Alaric stole from her.
After I compelled him.
What?
Elena, stop.
Of course you compel
your best friend.
I mean, why would
that be off limits?
Hey. I'm trying to
get Bonnie back!
Oh, just--just--no.
Don't.
Damon, I want Bonnie
back more than anything.
She's my best friend,
but to you,
she's something else,
isn't she?
She's a chance for me
to realize
what a great guy
you are
so that I can fall
in love with you all over again.
It doesn't matter
who gets hurt in the process
as long as Damon gets
what Damon wants.
She's saying
you're stupid,
and Stefan
is agreeing.
Ooh. Now she's
saying you're good for nothing,
and Stefan
is disagreeing.
He says you're
a great punch line to a joke.
Everyone hates you.
Don't be jealous
you can't vamp hear
because you're
a big blond bowl of mush.
Just be thankful
I don't fancy mush.
So after the third group home,
I got myself
emancipated,
which is surprisingly
difficult, by the way.
Yeah. You seem like the type
that would do better on your own.
Hey. Do you want
a drink?
Sure.
Hey. Excuse me.
Can we get two
chocolate milk shakes,
please?
It's a, uh, Salvatore
family tradition.
I'm all for
family traditions.
All right. Listen.
In 10 seconds,
you're gonna get up
and walk out of here with me,
smiling, acting like
nothing's wrong.
The acting part
shouldn't be too hard for you.
I know you're lying.
Ready to go?
Hey.
Where you guys
going?
Oh, just a little
family drive.
It's ok, Matt,
I promise.
I'll call you
in a bit.
All right.
You on Twitter?
Ah. I just signed up.
You should follow me.
Cobrakai1972.
Come on.
Like "Karate Kid"?
Did you know you can
follow celebrities?
Heh. They all Twitter
the stupidest things.
It's--it's hilarious.
It's kind of dead.
I think I'm gonna
close up.
Oh. Hang on,
hang on.
I'm gonna get
a real drink.
No bourbon. I'm secure enough
in my masculinity.
Vodka's boring,
rum's too tropical.
Ooh. Tequila. You do not want to
see me on Tequila.
What about gin?
Is that weird?
Not if you're
a 50-year-old,
but seeing as you
look 19,
I'm gonna need to see
some I.D.
Oh. Of course.
Of course.
1972. Nice try.
No. True story,
but that's not
the most interesting
thing on that I.D.
Here. Look again.
Name, address.
Malachai Parker.
Oh, my God. Ahhh.
- Last time I saw you...
- Aah!
I was trying to
kill you.
Why don't we pick up
where we left off?
I don't think so.
Ugh!
Life is so much
easier with magic.
Unh! Feels kind of
like cheating.
I'm sad you didn't
recognize me.
That means dad erased all trace
of my existence--
family pictures,
movies,
little handprint
turkey I made.
What a dick.
You stay the hell
away from me.
You were always so bad
at hide-and-seek.
I mean, you were 4,
but still,
find a better
hiding spot.
Aah!
I think she did
just fine.
Let's get out of here.
You don't find it
the least bit strange
that they just
up and left?
I told you she's
his family.
If they want to talk,
let them talk.
What the hell
do you care?
Because I care
about the truth,
care about authenticity.
Or you just hate
Stefan.
I do actually, yeah.
He abandoned his brother,
turned me over
to a vampire hunter,
and he hurt the one girl
who can honestly
do no wrong.
That's not why I care.
No. I care because
he does all that
and is still
considered a hero
when I get stuck
being a villain.
Yeah, because you
kill people.
What, and Stefan
doesn't?
Come on. You and I
both know that's not true.
I'm just up front
about it,
but Stefan, no,
who knows what he's done?
He's just a liar
with a little box of secrets.
Come on, Mush.
Let's open the box.
I told you Zach Salvatore
is my father,
Gail is my mother.
I have these pictures.
Ah. That's your
big evidence,
a picture you stole?
You gave yourself up
the second you got in the car.
Why don't you
believe me?
Because right now,
Sarah Salvatore is in her dorm room
at Duke university,
where she studies as an art major,
and she didn't bounce
from group home to group home.
She was adopted right
out of the hospital by a great family.
I made sure of it.
You know her.
She's my family.
Even though she
doesn't know me,
I've looked out
for her
for her entire life.
Now who the hell
are you?
Monique.
My name is Monique.
May 10, 1994,
I had a day.
I was mad at Stefan
for something.
I don't even
remember what it was,
and in typical Damon fashion,
I acted out.
People died.
A lot of them,
and believe it or not,
ever since that day,
I've felt
horribly guilty.
So I thought that this
was my hell, Elena...
But you know
who didn't?
Bonnie.
She had hope
for both of us.
She's the reason
I survived,
the reason
I made it out.
Who knew? Turns out
you spend time with someone
and don't kill them,
you actually become friends.
I'm doing this
for Bonnie, Elena, not for you.
And that's it.
Damon and Bonnie.
Who would have
thought?
Pfft. Don't make this
any weirder than it needs to be.
She's probably passing
Whitmore right now.
If she's not lost.
She has a terrible
sense of direction.
You know, I could
have sworn that this used to squeak.
It did.
I fixed it.
Bonnie and I came here
every day.
It as the closest thing
I had to a picture of you,
and I needed every
reminder I could get.
It's funny.
I used to have so many good memories
of this house,
and after just one bad one,
I burned it down.
I just couldn't bear
to look at it again.
I just can't
believe it's gone.
You want to go inside?
Yeah. Yeah, I do.
I'm sorry I compelled
away the memories.
They were only
half mine.
We'll make new ones.
Do you feel that?
Oh, no.
No. No. We shouldn't
be back yet.
Damon, we have
another hour.
What did you do?
Kai is here. We have to get back
to Mystic Falls
before he takes any
more of her magic.
No. Send me back first.
I can't.
Bonnie was on her way.
Send me back!
Unh!
Elena, you're
over the border.
I'm sorry, Elena.
No. No.
I met Sarah
at sleep-away camp,
or as my foster family
liked to call it,
get the hell out
of my house camp.
Sarah had a great life.
Me? Not so much.
So when I found out
that she had no desire
to find
her real family--
You decided to find
them for her.
Couldn't be any worse
than what I had.
Well, considering the fact that
my brother killed her mom
while she was pregnant,
I don't know about that.
I let him believe
that the baby died.
I wanted to protect her.
Even though my brother's
not the same person he was before,
it's safer if he
doesn't know.
I know that may be
a little bit extreme,
but I want her to have
a normal life no matter what.
See, the problem is
with you around,
there's a threat now,
someone who knows her
other than me.
I'm not gonna hurt you.
I just need you to
take off your Vervain.
You've never met or heard
of Sarah Salvatore.
Forget everything
that happened here,
leave Virginia,
and never come back.
Hey!
You ok?
Who are you?
You compelled her?
Why?
She's not my family,
she's a con artist,
and I'm just trying
to get rid of her.
Get out of here.
Aah! What the hell?
No screaming, luv,
and don't move.
Enzo, what are
you doing?
I want the whole story,
the one not obscured
by the dulcet tones of a blender.
I told you she's
a con artist.
There is no
Sarah Salvatore.
That baby died
when Damon killed her mom.
Then why listen to this one
blather on for 20 minutes,
why whisk her away
to speak privately, hmm?
Why wipe her memory,
Stefan?
She knows something.
Come on. Don't do this.
Just let her go.
See? He's digging in.
Can always spot a liar.
How about a countdown?
That's fair
for everyone, right?
5 seconds.
4...3...
Enzo, let her go,
or I swear--
You'll what?
I will kill you.
Will you? Because
Stefan's 5 seconds are up.
No!
Don't be stupid.
Don't be stupid.
Just think. All of this could
have been avoided
if you'd have
just told the truth.
No matter. I'll find out
sooner or later.
Bonnie's gonna get
to the house,
and we will be gone.
Until the next comet
or full moon or eclipse.
As long as we have that,
we can go back
as many times as we need
until we get her back.
Wait. Are you guys
talking about Bonnie Bennett?
Because honestly, I didn't think she
was all that great.
No!
I am gonna enjoy
the hell out of this.
Oh, hey. Me, too.
Oh, yeah. Damon,
I, uh, I stole some of Liv's magic
when I tried
to kill her.
Think some of it might
still be in my system,
so pardon me.
Unh!
Uh-uh-uh.
You missed one.
Phesmatos incendia.
Aah!
No!
Aah!
Unh!
Oh, God.
You ok?
Huh.
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.
Whoops.
Look. I'm sorry that
Enzo killed her. He's--
A monster.
Yeah, I know,
but you could have
stopped him, and you didn't.
What, you think that
was easy for me,
watching
an innocent girl die?
I don't know
actually.
You're not exactly
the sharing type.
Matt, I promise you
that everything I do
I have thought out
over and over,
making sure it's
the right thing to do.
So we're just supposed
to trust that you know best?
No. You're supposed
to trust that I'm nothing like Enzo.
The problem is you are
because no matter
how close vampires
get to humans,
our lives will always
mean less,
so when push comes to shove,
we'll be on opposite sides,
which is what Tripp knew
and I didn't.
Jeremy?
Let me guess.
She's not with you?
She was on her way,
but--
but at the last minute,
something went wrong,
and it didn't work.
I bet Damon's fine,
isn't he?
Don't do that.
Why not?
Because I think
channeling your rage
might be
a better option.
How do you feel about
being a hunter again?
Why?
Because I want you
to help me kill Enzo.
So Jo drove me
across the border.
I told her
she was crazy,
that you'd never
compel me.
Look, Ric.
We had to get
Bonnie back.
Getting Bonnie back was
never off the table.
What was off the table
was compelling me to
steal from my girlfriend
when we had promised her
we'd keep her brother
locked way.
- Yeah, I know.
- Where is he--Kai?
He's out,
but it's not our fa--
I left Bonnie a note
at the house.
I told her we would be
on your front porch.
She'd probably be
there now
with about
a half an hour to spare.
She sacrificed
everything for us
over and over again,
and then we were
supposed to be there
for her.
She's all alone.
I think gin gets
a bad rap.
I'd rather not
kill you,
but I will.
What the hell
do you want?
This is gonna
sound crazy,
but I'm want to save
Liv's life.
Feel like making
a deal with the devil?
