Sooooooooo then, Stefan and Damon head down to ye olde tomb to talk to ye old Katherine. And when thye leave, they fail to close the tomb door, which is necessary for the rest of the story to play out, but it doesn't settle well. Sure, the seal is keeping Katherine in, but what's to keep some innocent by-stander from wandering in and becoming her next meal? Whatever, we're already on to the next scene...
Morning; Gilbert Gables: Stefan and Damon appear at Elena's door and we flash back to their convo with ye old Katherine and ye olde tomb. They want the moonstone, so they can de-spell it. She wants out. She's dirty, starving and bored, but she still manages to compliment Damon's pretty eyes, because -- well just look at them. Katherine promises she'll leave Mystic Falls for good, if only they'll release her. Back in the Gilbert kitchen, they make clear to Elena that they don't believe Katherine. They plan to have Bonnie release the seal for just long enough for them to get in, get the moonstone and get out. Elena doesn't want them to do it. And she doesn't want them to de-spell the moonstone, because she thinks that will just bring Satan Klaus's wrath down on her loved ones. She can't bear the thought of losing anyone, just to save herself.
School; Exterior: Bonnie and Junior Manwitch have a magical moment. He takes her bracelet, gives her his dog-tags and teaches her how to channel another witch. It's all kind of sexy with the wind blowing and the leaves swirling around them, but it leaves me cold, because I'm already a little invested in seeing Bonnie with Jeremy. What can I say? The poor boy breaks my heart -- especially when his hair looks good. When he approaches the impromptu, mini-coven, he can't help but act a little proprietary, and Bonnie looks a little guilty. When Junior takes off, and Jeremy comments that he's weird, Bonnie immediately blurts out, "No he's not." It's then that she realizes (as does poor Germ) that she still has Junior's dog-tags. She can't do anything about it though, because Junior's gone and Damon is texting her.
Mossy Manse: Elena enters. From the other room, Rose calls out, "It's not nice to leave a girl naked so early in the morning." Ooops, awkward. When Rose (who isn't naked by the way either, she's in a robe) sees Elena, she excuses herself to get dressed and then they talk. Elena wants to make a deal. She'll have Bonnie make Rose a day-walker ring, if Rose will help her. Elena says she wants to go see Slater and learn more about Satan Klaus. Elena is lying.
