John managed to get his hands on that invention he was seeking in The Vampire Diaries Season 1 Episode 21.

Elena is not Katherine. But she sure looks a lot like her in that 19th century clothing for the recreation of the battle.

Jeremy is defending his uncle for killing Anna’s mom. Kinda. He just wanted revenge on the tomb vampires and vice versa, but Pearl was not among those seeking revenge. Anna’s been thinking. She’s okay with turning Jeremy and running away together. When you’re a vampire, you don’t have to feel. He doesn’t think he can, but he’ll keep her blood around.

Stefan breaks the news to Elena: her uncle is her father. This would be bad news because she hates him.

Damon is very grateful to Bonnie for removing the spell from the device. If only she actually had done so.

According to John, the vampires will be attacking tonight. That makes this an ideal opportunity to use the device, which can only be used once for 5 minutes and will incapacitate any vampire within a 5 block radius.

Seeing as he’s in love with her, Elena would appreciate it if Damon would stop with the flirty little comments and that eye thing he does.

What can Elena do to fix things with Jeremy? Apparently, going to hell would help.

Having been informed of John’s plan, the sheriff says no. Well, John says yes. Case closed, even if he has to knock her out and cuff her.

Anna alerts Damon of the imminent attack. The vampires plan to wipe out the founding families. Damon warns Stefan and Elena. The mayor begs his son Ty, as well as Matt and Caroline, to get out of there.

Shortly thereafter, the device is activated. All the vampires fall in pain because of the noise that only they can hear. So why can Tyler hear it, wrecking his car? The mayor, too, collapses.

Alaric steps in to make sure the cops don’t grab Stefan. Damon and Anna aren’t quite so lucky. Not wanting to wait until she’s burned alive, John stakes Anna. Now would be a good time for Damon to tell the mayor the truth about himself. He’s there because he’s a vampire. What’s the mayor’s excuse? If he’s not a vampire, what the hell is he? Whatever he is, one of the vampires wants to test what snapping his neck will do to him.

Stefan heads into the burning building to save his brother. As her way of apologizing for being a liar, Bonnie makes the flames die down so Damon and Stefan can flee the building while they’re still among the undead. As much as Stefan would like to hate his brother, it’s pointless to try.

Damon returns to Jeremy to tell him Anna’s dead, and he can take his suffering away again. The suffering isn’t going away, though. Damon’s advice is that life sucks whether you’re a vampire or not, but at least vampires don’t have to feel bad about it. That’s enough to convince Jeremy to drink that Anna blood he’s been saving, then overdose on some pain pills.

Matt and Ty walk away from the accident okay, but Caroline is in the hospital.

If Damon spills a drop of innocent blood, Bonnie will take him down. Good luck then. Damon’s got this weird feeling, though. He finds himself wanting to protect the town he once hoped to destroy. Then he kisses his pal Elena.

John’s having a talk with his daughter, wanting to see if he can patch things up with her and get her to not hate him. Alas, he’s really talking to Katherine, who chops off his ring and proceeds to slice and dice. Yeah, that wasn’t the real Elena lip locked with her friend with benefits.

Following its run as The CW’s first success story, The Vampire Diaries season 2 is obviously going to happen this fall.

Stefan went all crazy in The Vampire Diaries Season 1 Episode 20, but then as expected decided he’d like to try to live happily ever after. When all was said and done, Isobel decided to come to town.

All Isobel wanted was for Alaric to just mourn her and move on. Two years later, that still hasn’t happened. She’d like him to be her messenger boy, arranging a meeting between herself and her daughter Elena. He’s not going to do anything for this selfish bitch, at least not until she threatens to start killing off his students.

John returns home to find Isobel having fun with a half clothed chick and a gay (but not right now) cowboy. She has decided that John’s failed to get the invention, so she will be taking it from here.

Fearing she will regret not meeting her potentially homicidal mother, Elena agrees to go through with it. The very pleasant mama informs Elena that her father was just a teenage waste of space, and a name is irrelevant. So why did Isobel want to be a vampire anyway? For a long list of reasons, such as how Stefan will not get old and die, whereas Elena will. Enough with the pleasantries. Get the invention from Damon, or the blood will be on her hands. Good day.

Damon joins in on the half clothed fun while waiting for Isobel to get back home. What does she want with this little invention? They’re on the same side: Katherine’s. Katherine wants John to have the device and isn’t very happy if she doesn’t get what she wants. During their little makeout session, Damon has a message to return to Katherine. He does believe in killing the messenger, and if Katherine wants something, she can come get it herself.

Bonnie has decided that Elena’s her friend, and she’s there for her if she needs her.

According to Emily, Jonathan never actually invented anything. Emily used magic to make his inventions work. The device is a weapon to be used against vampires.

Since Caroline won’t stop yapping, she tells Isobel everything she needs to know about Elena’s inner circle. The first victim is Matt, who has a trailer fall on his arm. Then Jeremy disappears. This is going too far even for John, so it’s time to start beating him.

Perhaps Damon will hand over the device if Bonnie can prove she’s able to remove the spell from the device. He can’t trust Bonnie, but he does trust Elena.

Bonnie has successfully turned the device into a mere trinket, which Elena can now give to Isobel. First, where’s the brother? Since Elena has brought vampire bodyguards, she can now call home and find out that Jeremy’s okay. Isobel knew Elena could get the device from Damon because he’s in love with her. After exchanging the invention, they trade their final hateful words.

She may have rescued him, but that’s not going to stop Jeremy from hating Elena for being a liar and having his memory erased.

Alaric tosses aside his ring and vervain. With that aside, Isobel is now free to kill him or compel him. She opts to compel him to move on before saying goodbye.

Stefan’s warning for his brother: history will not be repeating itself where Elena’s concerned. Well, now Damon has a story to tell, as the only one capable of putting 2 and 2 together. John is Elena’s father.

On his doorstep, John has received what he’s been looking for. Katherine wants all those tomb vampires dead, and Isobel wants to add Stefan and Damon to the list, preventing Elena from having this life.

It should come as no surprise that Bonnie pretended to do something she didn’t really do.

Having gone crazy for human blood in The Vampire Diaries Season 1 Episode 19, Stefan found himself caged up by Elena and Damon.

It’s so hard to see him locked up like this, which she could have avoided by not locking him up in the first place.

Stefan is remembering when he and his brother were shot as Katherine was dragged away. Lucky thing he’s wearing his invincibility ring. There’s a catch. When he died, he had Katherine’s blood in his system, since she’s been compelling him to drink it for weeks. Damon, too, has been drinking, albeit willingly. They aren’t vampires yet, but they will be soon enough if they complete the transition by feeding.

Anna’s decided to go through the torture of high school in order to hang out with Jeremy. Good luck with that.

Alaric has been doing some digging on Uncle John. John has been receiving calls from someone, who Alaric believes is Isobel. Sharing this information with Damon, they both decide they don’t trust each other. Alaric tried to kill Damon. To be fair, Damon did kill Alaric. Nonetheless, they’re going to go together to track down Isobel.

John’s question for Elena: what does she think her mother would say if she knew she were dating a vampire?

Stefan just wants it to end, so he doesn’t intend to survive.

Pearl meets John, who plans to change her mind about giving him the device… with his charm.

Alaric would like to not kill anyone tonight, although if that were true he wouldn’t have brought Damon along. Finding the blood in the fridge, they know they have company, a vampire named Henry who was in the tomb.

Elena opts to not be afraid that Stefan could break through the bars and kill her. Taking it a step further, she unlocks the cell, daring him to do his worst if he pleases.

John has been helping Henry out. Henry doesn’t know an Isobel, but he helps keep an eye on the others from the tomb. When Henry gets a call from John, Damon grabs the phone. Is he going to answer that? Nope, they’re going to kill Henry.

John’s idea of charm is to pretend that Jonathan loved Pearl, then tell her that he hated her and wanted to be the one to drive a stake to her heart. So much for the pleasantries. She gave the device to Damon. With that, may John rot in Hell.

Stefan’s father was there to see his sons get shot. He pulled the trigger himself. Well, Stefan had decided to not complete the transition and just die, until his father’s blood started spilling when he tried to kill him for a second time.

Alaric doesn’t want to waste any more of his life searching for answers that he really doesn’t want.

Pearl has decided to leave. Too much history. It’s Anna’s decision if she wants to stick around for the boy.

Elena blames Damon for making it his life’s mission to make Stefan’s life miserable.

Back to the past, Stefan has brought his brother a present, a girl to feed on so he, too, can complete his transition. After hearing this story, Elena goes downstairs, where she discovers Stefan is now missing.

Waiting for Jeremy when he wakes up, Anna’s just there to say goodbye.

Emily sensed that Stefan’s heart is pure, even in death. That will be his curse.

For all the drama to the contrary, the conclusion is obvious. Stefan has decided he’s got an unlife to live.

Harper is going with Pearl, or at least he would be if she weren’t just shot through the heart while exiting her house. Anna returns home to find both of them on the ground.

Damon hated Stefan, and he still does. Not because he forced him to turn. Rather, because Katherine turned him, too. It was just supposed to be Damon.

Sitting at the bar, Alaric turns around. There’s Isobel.

As much as he would try to fight it, Stefan was unable to resist his urge for blood in The Vampire Diaries Season 1 Episode 18. The brothers also found out there was another ring, which belongs to Elena’s creepy Uncle John.

Unlike before when he was opposed to the idea, Stefan’s now got himself a trunk full of blood. The hospital inventory records were altered, although the guy who did it did not remember altering them.

Anna stops by to apologize to Damon for nearly getting his brother killed. The other vampires are all gone. It’s just her, her mother, and Harper. With that information, Damon now knows who the blood bank culprit is.

The girls signed up for Miss Mystic Falls a while back. Elena and Caroline have both made the cut.

John is seeking an invention, which can now be retrieved since the vampires are free. Does the name Pearl ring a bell to Damon? Not convinced John can help him, Damon goes to Anna. Whatever this invention is, he doesn’t want John to have it.

Jonathan Gilbert left behind even more journals, which are locked away. He was writing all his life.

Damon warns Elena that Stefan’s drinking human blood. Because he’s spent all this time fighting it rather than learning to control it, he’s unstable at best.

With Stefan off going insane, Damon is Elena’s only choice to fill in for the dance that she and Stefan had learned. Could be worse. While they’re doing that, Stefan’s making a decision, a decision that he will drink human blood straight from the source. The chick he’s with totally doesn’t mind that he’s trying to kill her because he told her not to be afraid. So now he wants her to run and be afraid. Be very afraid.

After Caroline is crowned Miss Mystic Falls, they realize that Amber is missing. The screaming may lead someone to them. That someone is luckily Damon, Bonnie, and Elena. At least the authorities don’t arrive until after the bite mark evidence is gone.

John has learned some useful information. Jeremy’s friend Anna has a mother named Pearl. Speaking of, they meet with Damon to discuss what Pearl stole. Now it’s his, though he’ll need to figure out what it is on his own. They’d like to stay in town, and this offering is an apology.

Stefan’s gonna be okay. Once Elena and Damon lock him up anyway.

Stefan was busted out from the vampire lair by Damon in The Vampire Diaries Season 1 Episode 17, then Jeremy found out Vicki is not really still amongst the living.

Having drunk Elena’s blood, Stefan’s now putting himself through detox. Damon wants to know why he can’t just grab some blood from a blood bank. It’s not as if he’s killing anybody.

Uncle John arrives at the house. Jenna wants him to pretend to be sensitive, seeing as Jeremy just found out that his friend is dead rather than undead. It seems nobody likes this guy.

Vicki’s death has been officially ruled a drug overdose.

John is there to go meet with the sheriff and her posse. A hospital blood bank has reported break ins recently. Nothing’s been solved, and their problems are not over.

While preparing to get busy with Elena, Stefan’s face goes funny, and he flings himself off a wall. Until the cravings go away, his best plan is to be drunk.

Jeremy’s curious if there’s any more information about Vicki. Her body was buried. Dead people don’t typically do that to themselves.

It seems there’s a thin line between fun drunk Stefan and potentially psychopathic drunk Stefan.

Damon may have everybody else fooled, but John knows he’s not just a vampire but the one who set all the others free. Time to snap his neck.

Tyler has decided to hook up with Matt’s mom at the founders party. The kissing is interrupted by punching. With the ensuing bleeding, Stefan opts for a taste.

As for Uncle John, he doesn’t look so dead after all. He’s got a ring on his finger.

After the party, the guy Damon made apologize to Elena for being a jerk is looking to pick a fight. There’s a stupid idea. At least he only gets knocked out rather than eaten.

Searching for answers, Jeremy breaks into Elena’s room to read her diary.

Ty’s father hits his son, with a message that he won’t embarrass the family again.

Matt wants his mom out of his house and life by morning.

John and his brother both inherited their rings. His brother gave him his, so he gave one to Isobel, who in turn gave it to Alaric. Of course he knew Isobel. He’s the one who sent her to Damon when she wanted to become a vampire.

Although he doesn’t want to get too close, Elena has decided she’s not afraid that her boyfriend may be a lunatic.

When Damon goes to bed, he leaves his blood on the table, just in case his brother would like to partake. That would be a yes.
