They're interrupted by the door bell ringing. Stefan heads downstairs to answer it. It's Damon, holding a weak-looking Bonnie, still in her flapper finery and bleeding from the neck. Master of the Obvious, Damon: "We have a problem." We cut to...
Klaus Haus. I'm somewhat plagiarizing that idiot who wrote the recaplet. Rebekah tells Klaus about Alaric and says they need to get out of town, now. When Klaus says he wants to collect Elena first, the Beckster tells him he needs to leave immediately, with her, or he'll have no family left. Klaus is okay with that -- and who can blame him? Why any of the Mikaelsons even talk to each other is beyond me.
Gilbert Gables. As Stefan gives Bonnie a dish towel to hold to her bleeding neck, Damon updates him on the Vampiric situation. Bonnie says she had no idea what was happening. The witches led her to Alaric. That's too bad. I wouldn't have minded it if Bonnie had made her own, impetuous choice, but whatever. When Damon sneers one too many times at Bonnie, she says, "If you are so upset with me, why did you feed me your blood to save my life?"
Wait, what? Doesn't vampire blood heal a person, pretty much instantly? Here's my mythology itch #2. Am I remembering wrong? I mean, it brought Bill Forbes back from the brink of death. Elena's had it before too, as have Vicki and Caroline. Why is Bonnie still bleeding and holding that flipping towel to her neck? Oh, Show, if I'm wrong, I apologize, but I think this is another case where you're going too fast for your own good.
Anyhow, Damon answers, "Because I do stupid things, Bonnie." Hee. "I do things, like let my friend die with dignity, when I should have just killed him." Here's the third itch, when I'm barely through scratching the second. Would it have been possible to kill Alaric after he was resurrected by vampire blood? Here's the process as we know it: A person drinks vampire blood. That person dies while the vamp blood is still in his system. The vampire blood resurrects him. To complete the transition, the resurrected vampire-human must drink blood. If he doesn't, he will die. I should have caught this last week, but it seems strange that a vampire-person is killable while the vampire blood is still in his system. I'm over thinking it, aren't I? Anyhow, talk turns to how to kill Vamparic. Bonnie knows there must be a witchy workaround; she just doesn't know what it is.
Elena is still upstairs and unconcerned by the fact that her doorbell rang, Stefan went to answer it, and then never told her who was there. It's then that Elena gets a call on her cellphone. Her giant white cell phone. It's like if an iPhone and an iPad had an iBaby, made by AT&T. The caller id informs her that the call is from Alaric. Answering the call, Elena says, "Whoever this is, it's not funny." Vamparic: "Who else would it be?" Vamparic informs Elena he has Caroline. If she wants to keep her friend alive, she'd better haul ass to the school, now. If she tells anyone, Caroline will be dead meat. We cut to...
