Episode Report Card Cindy McLennan: A- | 1 USERS: A+ YOU GRADE IT How I Met Your Mother
By Cindy McLennan | Season 1 | Episode 21 | Aired on 05.06.2010
Classroom: Elena tells Bonnie and Stefan that Isobel has grabbed Jeremy and says they've got to turn the Gilbert Gizmo over to Izzy. Stefan points out that Damon will never agree to hand over an anti-vampire weapon. Elena looks at Bonnie as she wonders aloud what Damon would say if the weapon were to be rendered harmless.
Mossy Manse: Damon's all Absolutely not. He doesn't trust Bonnie or her powers, so of course he chooses to taunt her rather than try to win her over. Finally though, Bonnie convinces him that she is capable of removing the spell, by magicking his copy of Jack London's Call of the Wild off a shelf and into his waiting hands. Damon denigrates this as a parlor trick, so Elena half begs/half orders Damon to give her the device. Damon turns to Bonnie. "I don't trust you. I tried to kill you." Bonnie smiles and comes over all sex kitten. "Hmmm. You're right. You can't trust me." My stomach flips over. Earnest Elena pleads with her lesser boyfriend. "But you can trust me." Stefan watches as Damon thinks it over. He can't resist that face, so he relents and hands Elena the gizmo. His digits linger a little too long, and he places it in her hand and wraps her fingers around it. Stefan sees that, too. Commercial.
Isobel's: Under Frank's watchful eye. Snark catches Germ up on the device, which he thinks works because their ancestor invented it. He says they need the gizmo because there is a group of vampires from a long time ago that wants revenge on Mystic Falls. Jeremy wants to know why one vampire would help Snark kill others of her kind. Snark confides that Isobel has her own reasons for wanting them dead. Snark says no one ever thought vampires would return to town in modern times, but since they have, they must be destroyed. Jeremy: "All of them? No. There are some good ones out there." Snark: "There's no such thing." Jeremy says he doesn't believe it, so Snark plays dirty pool. "Well, your Dad did. And as his son, that should mean something to you." Jeremy asks how Grayson knew about "all this." Snark: "Who do you think taught me the family history?" OBJECTION, your honor. Non-responsive. Please instruct that character that he is not on Lost, and as such, he is beholden to give informative answers. Crap. End of scene. Overruled.
Mossy Manse: Bonnie does her thing, The gizmo floats. The lights flicker off and on. The fire in the fireplace, and the candles flare. The gizmo floats and spins, floats and spins, and lands in Bonnie's hand. Damon watches the whole scene with a skeptical eye. Once Bonnie says, "done" Damon asks what's next. Elena: "Now we give it to Isobel." As we cut away, Bonnie looks uncomfortable. Damn it.
