Previously on The Vampire Diaries
For over a century,
I have lived in secret until now.
I know the risk,
but I have to know her.
She's a dead ringer for Katherine.
Hello, brother.
He killed Zach.
He killed Tanner.
He turned Vicki.
I have to kill him.
- You can't do that.
- You were right to stay away from me.
- What is that?
- A very important crystal.
That belonged to one of the most
powerful witches of our family.
- Emily Bennet.
- I want my crystal back.
- Bonnie has it.
- Get it from her.
Don't be giving that back
to anybody.
Today we're going to talk
about shadow reckoning.
This is a method of measuring
heights by the sun's shadow.
Let's say, for example,
that we're going to measure
the distance of the shadow.
We're gonna take
this measurement here,
Measure the length,
and we're going to multiply that
by the height of the source.
Building height can also
be measured, using a
Hello?
Please help me.
Who are you?
I'm Emily.
You know that.
We're family.
Where am I?
This is where it started.
And this is where it has to end.
This isn't real.
Help me.
What are you looking at?
Turn around.
Mystic Falls Team
- Have you even talked to Bonnie?
- I'm mad at her.
- She needs to make the first move.
- Be the bigger person.
Impossible in her presence.
Why are you so pissed
at her, anyway?
She's a thief.
That's why.
I gave her my necklace,
and she refuses to give it back.
It's a matter of principle.
All right.
Well, I tried.
I'm officially out of it.
Good.
Your turn.
Where's Stefan?
Have you talked to him?
- He's avoiding me.
- Why?
It's complicated.
I'll see you later.
Good morning, everyone.
Alrighty.
Are you alright?
It's a mouthful.
I know.
Doesn't exactly roll off the tongue.
Saltzman is of German origins.
My family emigrated here
in 1755 to Texas.
I, however, was born
and raised in Boston.
Now, the name Alaric
belongs to a very dead great-grandfather
I will never be able to thank enough.
You'll probably want to
pronounce it "Alaric," but it's
"Alaric," okay?
So you can call me Rick.
I'm your new history teacher.
Rise and shine.
You'll be late for school.
What are you doin'?
Peace offering.
Come on.
You need it for blood
circulation.
Does dead flesh good?
- All right, I'm sorry.
- Step aside, please.
I got the town off our back.
It was
for the greater good but I'm sorry.
And to prove it,
I'm not gonna feed on a human
for at least a
week.
I'll adopt the Stefan diet,
only nothing with feathers.
Cause I realize that killing your
closest and oldest friend
is beyond evil, and yet
somehow, it's worthy of humor.
- Are you mimicking me?
- Yes, Stefan.
Now that the secret society
of vampire haters is off our back,
I can go back to my routine of how
can I destroy Stefan's life this week.
And I can go back to sulking
and Elena-longing
and forehead brooding.
This is fun.
I like this.
And I will finally reveal
the ulterior motive
behind my evil and diabolical
return to Mystic Falls.
Yeah.
I'm done.
That's just like you, Damon.
Always have to have the last word.
And then I ended up at
the remains of old fell's church
before I woke up back in the woods.
And you always see
your ancestor Emily?
Do you believe in ghosts?
Two weeks ago,
I'd say no, but now
I think I'm being haunted.
I don't get it.
Why Emily?
Grams said she was a powerful
witch back in the civil war days
and that this medallion was hers,
a witch's talisman.
And it all started when
you got the necklace?
I think she's using it
to communicate with me.
What does Grams say about it?
I can't call her.
She's gonna
tell me to embrace it.
I don't want to embrace it.
I want it to stop.
I'm Jeremy Gilbert.
You wanted to see me?
You know that your old teacher
had a *** file?
No joke.
It's typed on a label.
It has all the
troublemakers in it,
but really it's just an opus
to you.
Don't worry about it.
I'm not him.
Clean slate.
Now
- Let's talk about grades.
- I know it's been a rough
couple of months, but I've been
trying to turn them around.
I saw that, but the problem is we're
halfway through a semester and
half a fail is still pretty bleak.
This is the part where you say to me,
"What can I do to change that?"
I'm glad you asked.
- How do you feel about extra credit?
- Yeah, totally.
Whatever.
Good.
Write me a paper then.
- Okay.
About what?
- History.
Pick a topic.
Keep it local.
No Wikipedia regurgita.
These old towns have
a lot of rich history, so just
get your hands dirty, make it sing,
and you're back on track.
- Deal?
- Yeah.
Deal.
That's a cool ring.
Thanks.
It was my father's.
Little garish, but family.
You know.
You've got a week.
What is that?
- What is what?
- The "Hey.
"
That's twice.
That is 2 heys.
That
Do you have any other words
in your vocabulary?
- What's wrong with "Hey"?
- It reeks of awkward subtext.
You spent the night in my bed,
there was
cuddling, and then you snuck out before
dawn so you wouldn't have to face me,
which I must say is a total lame
guy move that I did not appreciate.
And now with the Heys?
Seriously? I mean,
I may have been some pathetic,
insecure mess after the party but,
do not mistake that
for me being a pushover,
Because I do not let guys
mess with my head anymore.
I heard your mom in the morning and
I didn't want to get you in trouble
so I went out the window.
You went out the window?
Another lame guy move.
Your mom's the sheriff.
And as for the heys,
I'm pretty sure it's what I've said
to you every day since the first grade.
Trying to read something into it
Lame girl move.
You weren't in class.
I was worried.
I got your messages, and sorry
I didn't get back to you, but
What I wanna say shouldn't
be said over the phone.
A simple "I didn't kill my brother"
text would have sufficed.
I didn't kill my brother,
As much as he
deserved it.
He has you to thank for that.
So what did you wanna tell me?
I won't be coming to school anymore.
I'm gonna back off
and keep my distance.
It's the right thing to do.
Back off from school or
from me?
Thank you for telling me.
- It's better this way.
- Yep.
I got it.
You're angry.
That's good.
Be easier if you hate me.
Okay, it's your last chance.
I'm gonna scream.
Don't do that.
Let's stay on point.
I want my necklace.
You can't have it.
I can't take it but you can give it
to me.
I'm trying to help you here.
- I don't want your help.
- You do want my help,
and you don't even know it.
You know why, you little witch?
Cause you've stumbled into
something you need to stumble out of.
- Just leave me alone or I swear
- Don't.
No threats.
A, you hurt me last time.
B, I wish you no harm.
Believe it or not, Bonnie,
I wanna protect you.
Let me help you
get Emily off your back.
- How do you know about her?
- I know a lot of things,
and I know more about
that crystal than you do,
and I know that she's using it
to creep inside of you.
See how scared you are?
And you should be,
because I will get that crystal,
even if I have to wait for
Emily to give it to me herself.
Next time she comes out to play,
you tell her
That a deal's a deal.
He's bad news, Elena.
He really scared me.
You need to stay as far away
from Damon as possible.
I'm trying.
He just
keeps showing up.
I don't want you to be alone.
You're sleeping at my place tonight.
We can make a whole night out of it.
Where are you going?
- Are you okay?
- Now I am.
All my problems were
because of that thing.
Can't believe
I didn't do that sooner.
What's your Grams gonna say?
Grams isn't the one being haunted
by a 150-year-old ghost, is she?
Okay, then.
I like a man who can dine alone.
A quiet strength.
I thought you were still in that
whole Logan depression thing.
I've sworn off men forever,
but it doesn't mean I can't
observe them from a safe distance.
Well, I can introduce you.
Thanks for coming.
I wouldn't
have called if it wasn't important.
I know that.
- He threatened her.
- What would Damon want with Bonnie?
She has this necklace.
Caroline got it from Damon,
and she gave it Bonnie,
and now Damon wants it back.
He's tormenting her.
- Over a necklace.
- It's not just any necklace.
It has to do with Bonnie's heritage.
It belonged to one of her ancestors
who lived here during the civil war.
When you and Damon lived here.
Her name was Emily.
She was Katherine's handmaid
and a witch.
You know?
About Bonnie?
The first night that you invited me
over for dinner, I made the connection.
And now Damon knows, and
for some reason,
he wants that necklace.
- What does it look like?
- It's
- an antique iron setting with
- With an amber crystal.
I know it.
It belonged to Katherine.
Emily gave it to her,
which means that
What?
I don't know,
but I'm gonna find out.
- Let me talk to Damon.
- Will he tell you?
I'll get it out of him.
Have you picked a topic?
No, not yet.
It's gotta be local
and non-Internet research, so
That's easy.
You got all your dad's stuff.
- What stuff?
- How the Gilberts came over
on the Mayflower stuff, all that
family lineage from way back.
Your dad really loved
all that family history stuff.
It's all boxed up in the closet.
What's up, man?
This is my aunt Jenna.
It's nice to meet you.
Jeremy was just
telling me about his paper.
Thanks for giving him
another chance.
It was my first day.
I wanted
to make a good impression.
So, Stefan
You know, I been thinking.
I think we should start over,
give this brother thing
another chance.
We used to do it, oh,
so well once upon a time.
I don't, Damon.
I can't trust you to be a nice guy.
You kill everybody,
and you're so mean.
You're so mean, and
You're really hard to imitate, and then
I have to go to that lesser place.
Can I get a coffee, please?
So what's with the bottle?
I'm on edge.
Crash diet, and
I'm trying to keep a low profile.
You could always just leave,
find a new town
to turn into your own
personal gas and sip.
I'll manage.
- You don't have to keep an eye on me.
- I'm not here to keep an eye on you.
- So why are you here?
- Why not?
I'm sorry.
There.
I said it.
If you want the ugly-*** necklace,
Keep it.
It's yours.
Will you hate me if
I tell you I threw it away?
- You threw it away?
- I know it sounds crazy but
the necklace was giving me
nightmares.
I had to get rid of it.
You could have just
given it back to me.
Why? So you could
give it back to Damon?
Screw Damon.
Are we doing manicures
or what? Who has their kit?
Mine's in my bag.
How long do you think this fight
with Stefan's gonna last? Is it
like a permanent thing?
I don't know, Caroline.
Why are you such
a little liar, Bonnie?
What?
I'm not lying to you,
Caroline.
I swear.
It's true.
I watched her throw it into a field.
Then explain it.
- Who's Emily?
- The ghost.
- The ghost has a name now?
- Caroline, please.
I wonder why
she won't leave me alone.
What is going on? Why
am I not a part of this conversation?
- You guys do this to me all the time.
- That's not true.
Yes, it is.
I can't talk to you.
You don't listen.
That's not true.
I'm a witch.
- And don't we all know it?
- See?
That's what I'm talking about.
I'm trying to tell you something.
You don't even hear it.
I listen.
When do I not listen?
Jeremy totally ditched me.
- Where'd he go?
- Home.
It's not far.
He can walk it.
So are you from here?
Are you a townie?
I'm a returnee.
Left town for a while.
Now I'm back.
- Why'd you leave?
- School.
And then there's the real reason.
I was wronged.
Guy named Logan.
- What'd he do?
- Basics
Lied, cheated,
lured me back in, left me again.
Your turn.
Any sad
relationship stories?
The basics
Fell in love,
married young,
my wife died.
That's always a good
conversation stopper.
- What happened?
- Well, you, me, and the
North Carolina police department
are all wondering the same thing.
It's what's known as a cold case.
- So why'd you move here?
- A change of pace,
new scenery.
I like it here.
It's
Got a rich history.
Lucky shot.
More like a carefully honed
skill over many decades.
- You're beating me.
- It's because I'm better than you.
I'm onto you.
Reverse psychology.
It's a little transparent,
but I admire the effort.
You prefer the brooding forehead?
Seriously, what game
do you think you're playing?
That's a funny question
considering the fact
that I have been asking
you that for months.
- It's frustrating, isn't it?
- Touch�.
Look, it's just not me.
I don't believe in the
But if you do, then
okay.
I'm in.
That's all it takes for me
to jump onboard, because
I consider you to be my best friend.
And I'm saying this knowing that
Elena's in the kitchen
listening to my every word.
I didn't know
how real this was for you,
but I'm listening now.
Elena, you can
come in now.
We're done.
There is just way too
much drama in this room.
So what do you guys wanna do?
I have an idea.
Why don't we have a s�ance?
- I don't think that's a good idea.
- Come on.
Let's summon some spirits.
This Emily chick has some
serious explaining to do.
- What are we doing?
- I don't know.
Be quiet and concentrate.
Close your eyes.
Now take a deep breath.
Call to her.
You there?
Really? "Emily, you there?"
That's all you got?
- Come on.
- Fine.
Jeez.
I call on you.
I know you have a message.
I'm here to listen.
- Did that just
- Yeah.
It just happened.
It's just the air conditioning.
Ask her to show you a sign.
Ask her.
If you're among us,
show us another sign.
See? It's not working.
I can't.
I'm done.
Get the light.
Please get the light.
Hold on.
I got it.
You guys,
the necklace, it's gone.
- What are we doin' here?
- Bonding.
Catch.
Go on.
Give it a try.
Don't forget who taught
you how to play this game.
That hurt.
Downside of my diet
Getting hit
actually hurts a little bit.
I'm impressed, Stefan.
Fun with *** and darts,
Sentimental with football, and now
starry night.
What do you want, Stefan?
It wasn't real, Damon.
Our love for Katherine.
She compelled us.
We didn't have a choice.
Took me years to sort that out,
to truly understand
what she did to us.
We are not takin' that on tonight.
What do you want
with Katherine's crystal?
How do you know about that?
Come on.
You knew
Elena would tell me.
How did you know it was Katherine's?
Emily gave it to her
on her last night.
I was with her, and you weren't.
I was the last one to see her.
Now, what do you want
with Katherine's crystal?
- She didn't tell you?
- We had other things on our mind.
I could rip your heart out
and not think twice about it.
I've heard that before.
I have a bigger surprise, Stefan.
I'm gonna bring her back.
Fun's over, Caroline.
You made a point, and I get it.
- Now give it back.
- What? Well, I didn't take it.
- What? What happened?
- I don't know.
Nothing.
Jeremy, are you home?
Guys
You guys open the door!
- Help me!
- What's going on?
Try the other door.
I'll check the hallway.
Unlock the door!
Open the door!
What happened?
Are you okay?
I'm fine.
Unbelievable.
You were totally faking it.
- Come on.
- No, you scared the hell out of me.
I'm fine.
Everything's fine.
- How can you bring Katherine back?
- Before Katherine and the others
were killed in the church, you remember
what it was like in this town?
- I remember the fear and the hysteria.
- Townspeople were killing vampires
one by one.
When they came for
Katherine, I went straight to Emily,
said, "I'll do anything.
Name
your price.
Just protect her.
" She did.
How?
She did some kind of spell
with the crystal.
And while the church was burning,
we thought Katherine was burning in it.
- She wasn't.
- But I saw her go inside.
There's a tomb
underneath the church.
The spell sealed
Katherine in that tomb, protecting her.
Are you telling me
that Katherine's alive?
If that's what you wanna call it.
She's been trapped
in a mystical holding cell
for the last century and a half, but
you're an expert
on a starving a vampire, so
how do you think she's doing?
Did you know that witches can use
celestial events to draw
energy into their magic?
Me either.
But in order to give
the crystal its power,
Emily used the comet
that was passing overhead,
And in order for that
crystal to work again
- The comet had to return.
- Downside
Long time in between comets
and a couple of
hiccups along the way with the crystal
but the comet passed,
and I got the crystal.
And then Caroline got the crystal,
and now Bonnie has the crystal,
and here we are.
Why would Emily
Why would she do this for you?
Because she knew they were
gonna come for her, too,
and she made me promise
that her lineage would survive.
I remember.
You saved her children.
It's the only thing
keeping me from ripping
that little Bonnie girl's throat out
to get my crystal back.
Well.
A deal's a deal.
So
You wanna go throw some more?
I can't believe I fell for it.
- Are you okay?
- I must go.
- She's leaving, I'm leaving.
- You guys can't leave.
I can.
I've had enough freaky fake
witch stuff for one night.
Thank you for having me.
- I'll take it from here.
- Where are you going?
Back to where it all began.
I won't let him have it.
It must be destroyed.
Wait!
- What's happening?
- I don't know.
The door, it's not
What the hell?
I'm outta here.
- What's wrong?
- It's Bonnie.
- What happened?
- Emily is possessing her.
- She said something.
- What did she say?
She said, "I won't let him have it.
It must be destroyed,"
- And then she just left.
- Where do you think she went?
I don't know.
Fell's church,
By the old cemetery that's where
she took Bonnie in her dreams.
We have to help her, Stefan.
Just stay there.
I'm gonna go find her.
You look different.
- I won't let you do it.
- We had a deal.
Things are different now.
I need to protect my family.
I protected your family.
You owe me.
I know.
I'm sorry.
You're about to be
a lot more than that.
You're so wrong.
I'm much more pathetic.
I've got you beat.
I have pathetic down to a science.
We haven't even covered high school.
Braces, "A" cup.
Glasses, skin condition.
You can
You know what?
I'm not gonna invite you in.
Well, some other time then.
Have a good night, Jenna.
- So you found the boxes.
- I found this, too.
Me and Logan.
That's just cruel.
Cruel is dating my history teacher.
I'm not dating him.
Yet.
This is why I feed on people.
These people don't deserve this.
They should never
have to know such evil.
What do you mean evil?
I swear to God
I'll make you regret this.
I won't let you unleash them
into this world.
Them?
What part of the story
did you lelee out?
- What does it matter?
- Emily, tell me what you did.
To save her,
I had to save them.
You saved everyone in the church?
- With one comes all.
- I don't care about that.
- I just want Katherine.
- I knew I shouldn't have believed
a single word that comes out of your
mouth.
This isn't about love, is it?
- This is about revenge.
- The two aren't mutually exclusive.
- You can't do this.
- Why not?
They killed 27 people,
and they called it a war battle.
They deserve whatever they get.
They were vampires.
You can't just bring them back.
This town deserves this.
You're blaming innocent people for
something that happened 145 years ago.
There is nothing innocent about these
people, and don't think for a second
it won't happen again.
They already
know too much, and they'll burn
your little grandwitch right next
to us when they find out.
Trust me.
Things are different now.
- Don't do this.
- I can't free them.
I won't.
Incendia!
She's alive, but barely.
I can save her.
Her neck,
it's healing.
- What are you doing here?
- Your window was open.
- I thought you should know
- Not funny.
Earlier today, I lied.
- About?
- About being in bed with you.
We cuddled and it creeped me out.
It creeped you out?
I mean, did you just come over
here to insult me or what?
Because it's been
a really long night.
It's just that I don't like you.
I never have, but
it was nice.
What?
Being in bed with you, it felt nice.
And so, I was thinking about it,
and I thought that I ould tell you
I stayed the night because
you were all sad and alone
and I felt bad for you.
Well, thank you,
cause I love being a charity case.
- You can leave now.
- No, because I know
With Vicki gone
and my mom off with
Pete whoever,
it's just me,
so
I know.
Katherine never compelled me.
I knew everything
every step of the way.
It was real for me.
I'll leave now.
I don't understand, Elena,
what happened to me.
He attacked me, and
his face was like
How do you feel?
Are you okay?
I'm fine.
It's just this blood.
I don't
I'm not gonna hurt you.
- What's going on?
- I'll explain everything.
Okay? Let's just get out of here.
Look at me.
Trust me.
He's not going to hurt you.
Come on.
Come on.
Is she in danger of becoming
No, she has to die with
my blood in her system,
so keep an eye on her tonight and
make sure that nothing happens and
once it leaves her system,
she'll be fine.
I'm gonna tell her the truth.
You sure?
I can trust her.
I need someone to know,
someone to talk to.
I can't live in secret.
I know that.
Shouldn't have to.
You saved her life.
I'm sorry, Stefan.
I thought that
I couldn't be with you, but I can.
You don't have to push me away.
I can do this.
I can't.
I have to leave.
Too many people have died.
Too much has happened.
What?
No.
I know you think
- you're protecting me, but
- I have to.
Coming home was
It was a mistake.
I can't be a part of
your life anymore.
Don't go, Stefan.
Please
You don't have to.
This is your home.
Please don't go.
Good-Bye, Elena.
You're just gonna walk away?
Don't walk away, Stefan!
Aren't you gonna invite me in?
