Craphole Island, Down East. A little JTI in the forums was bugged by my use of "Down East" because, and I quote: "It's supposed to be off the coast of Nova Scotia -- unless girlfriend is writing from the Arctic Circle, that's just about the opposite of 'Down'." We finally subscribed to Netflix, and I've been mainlining episodes of Scrubs, which I just mention so you'll appreciate the restraint I've exercised in referring to our new member as a JTI, rather than Newbie. Look, Newbie JTI, click the links. They're what's for breakfast. Let's start a new paragraph. I'm going to take you off the links leash and see how you do...
Craphole Island, Down East. As Damon searches the campsite for Bonnie, he hears something, and vamps out. "Unless you're a blonde, a Bennet witch, or a doppelgänger, I suggest you steer clear. When he opens the cabin door, Rebekah comes up behind him and demands to know where the Bore is. Damon tells Rebekah that Katherine must have it and she, or someone, also killed Jeremy. Since Jeremy killed Kol, Damon pooh-poohs Rebekah's sadness, but she reminds him she's not heartless. She knows the Germ was Elena's only family.

Bonnie looks down at his blood-stained pant leg and asks him how he's been healed. "Shane" reports that Silas helped him. "You did it, Bonnie. He is risen." I resist my years of religious training, and do not respond: "He is risen, indeed," because in this case, I think I'd be courting blasphemy. When Bonnie tells "Shane" to get away from her, he continues to blah about Silas and how all those lives weren't lost in vain. "Silas is going to bring them back." Bonnie warns him that bringing back the dead isn't natural. Quietly, "Shane" says, "I think you'll change your mind, now." He explains that Silas needed blood when he awoke, so he drained Jeremy. "Jeremy is dead." That's all true, but it's not quite true enough. Silas also snapped Jeremy's neck. We cut to...
