Gilbert Gables: Bonnie follows Jeremy in the house. As he tends to his wounds, he tells her he doesn't need an escort to his room. Bonnie says she's not so sure. He might do something incredibly stupid on his way up there. Ha! She can't believe he did what he did. Jeremy's face goes all soft as he explains he didn't want her to get hurt doing the spell. Bonnie knows why he feels that way, and says he can't feel this way about her. Jeremy tells her not to act like it's one sided, or that he's just a kid who has a crush on his sister's friend. He caresses her cheek and says, "You could have died, today." Bonnie: "And you almost did." He moves in to kiss her, but she pulls away, and as a tear runs down her cheek, she says she can't. YOU CAN TOO, BONNIE. LOOK AT HIM. HE'S SO CUTE. Dummy.
While she's leaving out the back door, I guess, Elena and Damon are on the front porch. Elena asks him why Elijah killed the henchvamps and let her go. Damon shrugs. "If I had a dollar for every time some evil vampire surprised me..." Elena nods and heads toward the door, but Damon pulls her back and chides her for being so incredibly stupid, today. Elena pulls her arm back from his grasp as she insists the only stupid part was getting caught. She wants to know why it's okay for him, Stefan, and everyone else she loves to risk themselves for her, but it's not okay for her to risk herself for them? Just as she tells him goodnight, Jeremy opens the door and tells them about Stefan.
Tomb: Elena rushes down and almost in, but Damon stops her. Katherine and Stefan are listening, but are somewhat further in, so Damon and Elena can't see them. And oh what an earful our trapped vamps get. Elena and Damon argue about everything that's been happening and she struggles and shouts for him to release her. Their breath comes hot and heavy, and if they had eye-sex during their dance last season, they just had angry eye-sex in that tomb. Finally, Elena leaves and Stefan reveals himself. He makes Damon promise to keep Elena away from the tomb, and to protect her, no matter what. Damon promises and leaves. Then Katherine slithers out. "That right there was the biggest mistake you ever made." Stefan brushes past her and heads further into the tomb.
Well, despite some problems, "Sacrifice" is an intense, intriguing, entertaining hour of TV, and I can't wait to see what happens next. To which -- I'll be back Friday morning with my recaplet of "By the Light of the Moon," which must be Tyler-centric. Until then, please join us on the boards. Don't make me throw you over my shoulder and carry you there, just click the link.
