[[Lorenzo|Enzo]] walks in to Valerie making mushroom omelettes for Oscar because he was supposed to be returning home that day. Lily walks in, telling them that Damon never showed up with Oscar, and asks Enzo for a moment alone with Valerie. Lily tells Valerie that she found out about [[Stefan and Valerie]] in 1863. Valerie defends herself and Stefan stating that it was puppy love and that they were just children and that it meant nothing. She also tells Lily that she didn't want to tell her because she was fragile at the time. Lily asks why Valerie put Stefan through thinking that she was going to come back for him. Valerie apologizes and tells Lily that there's nothing more that she's holding back. Valerie turns to leave claiming that she needs to look for Oscar, to which Lily tells her that it wouldn't be necessary.

“ You may be a thousand miles away or a hundred years away, but.. you're still here with me. And my heart is right there in that coffin with you. ”
— Damon to Elena via his diary

I Carry Your Heart With Me is the fourth episode of the seventh season of The Vampire Diaries and the one hundred and thirty-seventh episode of the series overall.

Summary

HEAVEN & HELL BALL — Just as Damon thinks he's gained the upper hand in his fight against Lily, an unexpected turn of events leaves him scrambling for a plan B. Elsewhere, when the fallout of Damon's actions gains the unwanted attention of Mary Louise and Nora, Stefan and Caroline are forced to spend the night distracting the girls at Whitmore College's Heaven & Hell ball. Finally, after suspecting that she's up to something, Enzo sets off on a mission to find out what Valerie is hiding, while a plan set by Alaric and Bonnie leaves their worlds turned upside down. Matt also appears.


Plot

The episode starts with a flash forward to three years from when the show is taking place. It shows Alaric building something to try to fix a baby doll. When it doesn't work, he mutters "damn it." Two children, who are about three walk up to him and ask if it's fixed. Alaric dismisses them, telling them that it's past their bedtime. They leave to go brush their teeth, giggling. The giggling suddenly stops, causing Alaric to go check on them. He grabs a gun and slowly walks over to the door that they're standing and staring at. Damon's standing in the doorway. Ric says "step behind daddy," to the girls, proving that they're his children. Damon threatens Ric that if Ric doesn't oblige to what he wants to be done, he'll kill someone.

The episode cuts back to present day with Ric looking at the Phoenix Stone. A worker walks in and makes a sarcastic comment about Ric being in the morgue at 5 AM to which Ric replies that he needs the room for himself. Ric hands the worker money, to which the worker replies that Jo's body can't be held there anymore, as it's already been held there too long.

The scene cuts and reopens to Damon, walking down a hallway, getting a phone call from Lily, who asks to see Oscar. Once Damon tells her that he's about to wake Oscar up from a "vervain nap" Lily tells him that once he gets Elena's body back from her, she'll still be asleep and in a box. Damon hangs up the phone and opens the curtain to the room in which he's keeping Oscar's body, and finds that he isn't there. He opens the closet door and finds Oscar's dead body.

Bonnie's about to leave when Caroline wakes up and tells her that "[she'd] lost more sleep if [Bonnie] snuck out without saying 'hi.'" They hug and Bonnie tells her that she'll work on a way to unravel the skin-burning spell that Valerie put on her when she has the time. She also tells Caroline that she's helping Alaric try to connect Jo's spirit and her body using the Phoenix Stone and that her job is to let him down easily.

Stefan and Damon start arguing about how Damon was using Oscar to get back and that the way Stefan sees it, that Elena was in more trouble than ever because of Damon. Damon accuses of Stefan of being on Lily's side, to which Stefan responds that because Damon can't be with Elena, he makes all of his bad decisions about her. The scene ends with Damon telling Stefan that he needs to get rid of Oscar's body and Stefan tells him that he has to get rid of it.

Enzo walks in to Valerie making mushroom omelettes for Oscar because he was supposed to be returning home that day. Lily walks in, telling them that Damon never showed up with Oscar, and asks Enzo for a moment alone with Valerie. Lily tells Valerie that she found out about Stefan and Valerie in 1863. Valerie defends herself and Stefan stating that it was puppy love and that they were just children and that it meant nothing. She also tells Lily that she didn't want to tell her because she was fragile at the time. Lily asks why Valerie put Stefan through thinking that she was going to come back for him. Valerie apologizes and tells Lily that there's nothing more that she's holding back. Valerie turns to leave claiming that she needs to look for Oscar, to which Lily tells her that it wouldn't be necessary.

Nora and Mary Louise go to the university in which Stefan and Damon are to ask for Oscar back, while they're moving his body. Mary Louise asks for Oscar back and Damon tells her that he just left. Damon tells Nora that he's been binging hence the reason he smells like blood. She walks around breaking things until Damon changes his story, saying that Oscar knocked him out and took off and that he lost his bargaining chip. Mary Louise asks why Oscar hadn't been answering the phone, while in the background you see Nora walking toward the bathroom. The music gets suspenseful and Stefan looks and when he glances forward again he looks worried. Nora opens the bathroom door and she finds nothing. Aggravated, she turns around and asks why she doesn't believe him. The girls leave and it's revealed that they hung Oscar's body out the window. They bring his body in and put it on the couch. Behind them, a girl walks into the room with a letter from Nora saying "For every hour that Oscar isn't returned, a Whitmore student will die starting now." Abruptly the student stabs herself in the neck.

Caroline: "Well, I would lose more sleep if you just snuck out without saying hi!"
Bonnie: "Hi!"
Caroline: "Hmmm...I missed this!"
Bonnie: "Am I gonna catch fire?"
Caroline: "No! I just can't touch vampires. Valerie basically turned my skin into vervain."
Bonnie: "I'll work on unraveling the spell when I -"
Caroline: "Stop! We have so much to catch up on. Let's just go shopping for Halloween costumes and we can worry about magic later."
Bonnie: "Kind of worrying about magic already. Alaric think we can reunite Jo's spirit with her body, but he's in some sketchy need of American resurrection stone. My job is to crush his dreams in the most gentle way possible."
Caroline: "Wow! Okay...you don't think it'll even work?"

Damon: "You just missed him!"
Mary Louise (to Nora): "Come Nora."
Stefan (to Caroline): "I have come up with the genius plan to keep them occupied while Damon sorts out his Oscar problem."
Nora: "What's this?"
Caroline: "Just some silly Heaven and Hell Ball."
Nora: "We're going!"
Damon (to Bonnie and Alaric): "We gotta bring this guy back to life. Now."
