Damon: What about my story?
Recapper: You can tell it if you can cut through the b.s. I'm really late.
Damon: I'll Stealth-Salvatore this bad boy. You ready? Okay. So, early in the episode, Katherine was trying to find out where I hid the moonstone. Pssssh. Like I'd tell her. But it seems that later, while Stefan and I are out with various factions of the Fellowship of the Falls, she finds it. I had hidden it in a bowl of decorative soaps in my really awesome bathroom. She's washing up, when it dawns on her to check. Damn it. So, she has the moonstone when Satan Klaus's manwitch whammies and captures her.
Recapper: Yeah, and that can't be good. On the plus side, you're shirtless when you realize the moonstone is missing.
Damon: I am pretty, aren't I?
Recapper: The prettiest.
Stephanie: Tick tock.
Recapper: Look, you really have to zoop on out of here. I've been struggling all season with the spelling of Stefan versus Stephanie, and this is just making it worse. We're in the home stretch now. I promise.
Stephanie: I was *just* trying to help. Get going, okay?
Recapper: FINE. Just leave.
Stephanie: Zoops back to on-the-bubble-show-land.
Damon: Okay. That was weird. Anyhow, I've also been doing witch stuff with Bonnie and Jeremy. First, we go to Senior Manwitch's apartment. He's not there on account of the fact that he died at Gilbert Gables, before the hiatus. But Junior Manwitch's corpse is on the floor. I just want to burn the whole place down, but Bonnie's all softhearted and respectful. Besides, she wants to save Senior Manwitch's grimoire collection. She does a little spell to find the one containing the information she needs about how to harness the witch-energy from the spot where the Salem witches (and later Emily Bennett) were massacred, back in ye olde bad days. It's then I reveal that I know the spot. I take her and the Germ to it. Apparently a house has been built over it. I don't know. That whole thing seems weird to me. Anyhow, when we're at the exact spot, the dead witches immobilize me. Then they make my protect-o ring temporarily ineffective, and of course I'm immobilized in a sun spot, and start frying up, which really sucks.
Bonnie: Only from some perspectives. At first, I can't help giggling about how the dead witches really don't want Damon there, but I help release him and he stomps out of the house. It's then that I am able to do the spell to harness the dead witch energy.
