Let’s just say that as of next week, Alaric is running out of time if he intends to use it on Jo. Here’s the thing about dead bodies: They don’t keep forever. So, Alaric is going to be faced with a big decision. In other words, we could find out sooner than you might think. ^[1]

Mary Louise and Nora attend the "Heaven & Hell Ball," which leads to as much "death and destruction" as you'd expect, exec producer Caroline Dries says. Meanwhile, Stefan and Caroline must face their own issues: "All he wants to do is grab his girlfriend and make out with her, but it's like kissing a wall of vervain."

Continuity

Caroline: "Mmm hmmm..."

Bonnie: "I didn't want to wake you."

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?"

Bonnie: "I think it should. The Other Side is gone, there's no more Gemini Prison world, which means Jo's spirit...is probably in peace."

Caroline: "Our lives are weird."

Bonnie: "Tell me about it."
