Anyhow, back at Gilbert Gables, Elena strokes Jeremy's hair, while downstairs, Stefan and Caroline avoid a conversation with Elena, and choose yet again to talk about her behind her back. Stefan even turns on the water to hinder Elena's vamponic hearing.
Stefan: Elena is waiting for the Germ to wake up.
Caroline: Hello? He's way dead, Stefan.
Stefan: Elena feels more than anyone has ever felt in the history of feeling feelings. She needs to remain in denial, until we know Bonnie is safe and Damon returns and invokes the very thing you and I have been working to insure he never invokes: the sire bond.
Audience: The only thing more inconsistent than this season's use of the sire bond is the range of vamponic hearing.
Caroline: The sire bond is icky, as you and I have been ranting all season, so yes, I am fully on board with asking the guy who compelled me into being his chew toy to wield it on the girl who is my best friend and your ex-lover.
Stefan: Keen!
Elena: I'm not in denial. I know Germ got supernaturlized, but his tattoo is gone. It's possible he's just plain old natural, now.
Audience: We'd best examine Jeremy's bod one last time. Take off his shirt. Wait. Did we say that? I guess we did, but is it icky?
Recapper: Well, it's a little necrophilic, so that's a big YEAH!
Audience: We hear you, but beg to differ. We mean... it's not like McQueen is dead.
Recapper: Let's just not.
Audience: All right. Damn it.
Caroline: Excuse me, I'm trying to talk to my best friend, instead of behind her back with her ex. Now, Elena...
Elena: Look, it's hope, all right? I'm holding onto that hope for at least another 40-45 minutes of air time, before I spiral down into the depths of despair. It's in the script, Caroline. I am not in denial. I am not. I am not. I am not!
Sponsors: If you buy that, would you consider buying our goods and/or services?
Gilbert Gables. Porch. Caroline leaves a voice mail for Tyler, begging him to call her so she can tell him what has happened. When Stefan comes out, Caroline tells him about Tyler being on the run from Klaus. Stefan reminds her that our girl Kiki has managed to be on the run from Klaus for 500 years. Remember before we met Klaus, how we were sold this bag of goods about him living in secret and having eyes and ears everywhere? I miss those days. Anyhow, Stefan must have been reading the boards, because he's puzzled out that Katherine has probably grabbed the cure to bargain for her freedom.
