However, when uninvited guests show up, it doesn't take long for the evening to take a deadly turn. [[Damon Salvatore|Damon]] convinces [[Jeremy Gilbert|Jeremy]] that he can use his [[Medium|new connection]] to [[The Other Side|the other side]] to help find a way to defeat [[Niklaus Mikaelson|Klaus]]. Finally, [[Niklaus Mikaelson|Klaus]] deepens his hold on [[Stefan Salvatore|Stefan]] and uses him for an increasingly violent and dangerous purpose. |

Meanwhile, Bonnie and Matt search around for Jeremy, but can’t find him. Turns out he’s in the trunk of a car being driven far away by Damon and Katherine. He is along for the ride only so they can use him to communicate with his dead girlfriend Anna who happens to have information about Mikael, who is a vampire that hunts vampires, who was most recently hunting Klaus and Rebekah. They get some info about where this Mikael is entombed (by torturing Jeremy), but then Damon gets frantic texts from Bonnie about what’s going on, so he dashes off to the rescue despite Katherine’s urgings not to. |

At this point, Bonnie and Matt still can’t find Jeremy so Matt decides to take one for the team by drowning himself and hopefully communicate with his dead sister Vicky, who has been haunting him recently. His plan works and after Bonnie does CPR, he is able to give info directly from Vicky that Klaus’s transformations aren’t working because Elena isn’t dead. Back in the gym, time runs out and Stefan tries not to drink Elena's blood, but Klaus compels him to turn off his feelings, so Stefan has to drink Elena's blood. |

Quotes
- Bonnie: "Listen to me, I know you wanna help and I know you miss your sister, but what you did was reckless and stupid."
- Matt: "I know, Bonnie. I know. But it worked. It was worth it."
- Bonnie: "You don’t want to be part of all this, Matt. You’re the only one of us who actually gets to live their life like a normal person, no matter how lost you feel. Don’t forget that."
- Elena: "Where were you, Damon?"
- Damon: "I shouldn't have left. I promise you, I will never leave you again."
- Rebekah: (to Stefan) "You took a beating. My brother's been breaking your neck all afternoon. Quite the temper."
- Klaus: "Attention, seniors! You have officially been busted. Prank night is over. Head on home."
- Klaus: "Fascinating, I've never seen this before. The only thing stronger than your craving for blood is your love for this one girl... Why don't you turn it off?"
- Damon: (to Katherine after making out with her) "Thought I’d give it a shot. Truth is, you just don’t do it for me anymore."
- Caroline: "Do you think Matt's gonna be okay?"
- Tyler: "I’m kissing you and you’re wondering about your ex-boyfriend."
- Matt: "Do you realize that just last summer, you and I were lifeguards at the pool?"
- Bonnie: "Hmm."
- Matt: "And the only two problems I had in my life were that Elena was breaking up with me and I sucked at CPR."
- Bonnie: "Everything was so different then."
- Matt: "Yeah, I know. Elena's dating a vampire, you’re a witch, my sister’s a ghost, and I’m just a guy who’s wondering how life got so screwed up."
- Klaus: "I assume you're the reason Elena's still walking around alive."
- Bonnie: "That's right. If you wanna blame someone, blame me."
- Klaus: "Oh, there's no need for blame, love. Just your witchy interference seems to have caused some undesirable side effects. And, since you caused the problem, I'm gonna have you find the fix."
- Klaus: "Every time I attempt to turn a werewolf into a vampire hybrid, they die during the transition. It's quite horrible, actually."
- (Klaus feeds Tyler his blood)
- Klaus: "I need you to find a way to save my hybrids, Bonnie. And for Tyler's sake, you' better hurry."
- (Klaus snaps Tyler's neck)
- Matt: (about Tyler) "He killed him."
- Elena: "He's not dead. Klaus' blood will turn him into a vampire."
- Klaus: "And if Bonnie's successful, he'll live through his transition. (to Bonnie) Go on, then. Go and fetch your grimoires and enchantments and whatnot. I'll hold on to Elena for safekeeping."
- Bonnie: "I can’t contact the dead, but Jeremy can."
- Katherine: "What if I told you there was a way to kill Klaus? And not dagger dead. Dead-dead."
- Damon: "I’d say you were desperate and lying. Or drunk. Or a desperate, lying drunk."
- Klaus: (to Stefan) "Let’s drink on it. Kill them."
- Klaus: (to Stefan) "All I wanted was your allegiance. Now I’ll have to take it."
- Katherine: (to Damon) "My advice: If you want to make an omelet you have to break a few legs."
- Rebekah: "Why is that doppelgänger bitch wearing my necklace?"
- Matt: "You don’t need magic, Bonnie. You just have to be better than I was at CPR."
- Stefan: (to Elena) "The more blood I get, the more I want. And if I get so much as near yours, you are dead."
- Klaus: (to Stefan) "Come on. Your humanity is killing you!"
- Klaus: "You know how much the Original witch hated me. Do you honestly think I would do anything other than the opposite of what she says?"
- Rebekah: "One thousand years in the grave, and she’s still screwing with you."
- Stefan: "I've done everything Klaus has asked me to."
- Rebekah: "No, you just failed to mention that the doppelgänger's still alive."
- Stefan: "Where is Klaus now?"
- Rebekah: "With any luck, ripping that cow's bloody head off."
- (Stefan leaps at Rebekah)
- Stefan: "Where is she!?"
- Rebekah: "You really do love her, don't you?"
- (Rebekah hits Stefan with a crowbar)
- Rebekah: "Consider me jealous."
- (Rebekah stabs him through the chest with the crowbar)
- Stefan: (to Elena) "I owe you everything. Because through all of this, you are the one thing that kept me from giving up, from turning it all off."
- Rebekah: (to Caroline) "Tick-tock goes the gym clock."
- Tyler: "This is going to be an amazing year."
- Klaus: "There's my girl."
- Elena: "Klaus."
- Klaus: "You are supposed to be dead. What are we gonna do about that?"
- Caroline: "Uh, do we know you?"
- Rebekah: "You're Caroline, Elena's friend, which makes you Tyler, the werewolf."
- Caroline: "And who are you?"
- Rebekah: "I'm the new girl."
- Klaus: "I'd like you all to meet my sister, Rebekah. A word of warning, she can be quite mean."
- Rebekah: "Don't be an ass."
