Jo (Jodi Lyn O'Keefe) can't wait to marry Alaric (Matt Davis) and it's her last shift as a single woman.  An officer takes Jo away and strips for her.  Elena (Nina Dobrev) Bonnie (Kat Graham) celebrate at Jo's bachelorette party at a whole diner by themselves since she compelled the owner, as the others celebrate at Alaric's party.  Cos this ep wasn't so much about Jo but Elena as usual.  As she just wants to stuff herself.  Bonnie asks Elena if she wants to talk about the cure and Damon (Ian Somerhalder) called her to tell her.  She "teleported out of there."  He told Bonnie.  She wanted to be human again.  Damon says she'll drink it and then he feeds from her and he's human and they die together.  He wants to be with Elena.  He hasn't told his brother of 166 years that he's planning on becoming human.

Matt (Zach Roerig) drinks and he wants Tyler (Michael Trevino) to know what it feels like since he hates himself and everyone else along with him.  He tries to force Tyler to control his anger and asks how training went cos he can't be there.  Also Tyler doesn't want to be there, cos it was Matt's thang and if he had to shoot someone, he'd turn back into a werewolf and he doesn't want that.   Enzo's (Michael Mularkey) shows up, invited by Damon as Stefan (Paul Wesley) calls Caroline and leaves a voicemail for her.  He's been avoiding Lily (Annie Wersching) and needs a callback.  Enzo's in joke about forcing himself on a gurney and having his spleen forced out, which is what happened to Sarah, of course Stefan didn't know this.  He tells Stefan that Lily was the one who turned him. She needs help now cos the ascendant was destroyed and she can't get her friends back.  So she goes on a ripper rampage.  What else could she do, I mean you've gotta have one of those practically every season.  Enzo taking a jello shot but can't figure out how to take it!

Stefan knows Lily lied when she brought him back and flipped his switch and she knows he doesn't look into her eyes when he's lying, cos she doesn't want a pep talk, doesn't want to be their mother, but just wants to rip heads off.  So much for last eps tears and self-loathing.  She wants her friends back but can't get them back, she gets away from Stefan and goes on that rampage.  Ending up with Bonnie and Jo since she recognizes her.  Wanting revenge on her for destroying the ascendant and Bonnie adamant she won't help cos she doesn't want Kai (Chris Wood) back.  Her magic didn't really do much to Lily, come to think of it and she attacks her in the neck.  Then goes after Jo, but stops after she tells Lily she's pregnant.  Wishing her luck with the twins.

Lily's speech to Stefan about his mother being dead, was similar to Elena telling Stefan that the woman he loved was also dead, after she turned, yeah, so she could chase after Damon instead now. Enzo knows about Damon taking the cure since he got Alaric drunk enough to get it out of him and says he wouldn't go through with it, not even for Elena.  Well that doesn't ring true for Elena since Jo tells Bonnie that not being supernatural anymore doesn't matter and you still love the person in the same way.  Apparently that isn't the case with Elena, as she changed her mind about Stefan in season 3.

Damon wants to meet Elena and he tells her he's on the clock tower whist she stuffs her face (still!) with burnt fires!  Even the town clock doesn't work, seems the second hand just got stuck where it was and time didn't move at all.  Can vampires stop time?  ha. He wants to show her something and they jump from the clock tower.  Wasn't that a harkback to Katherine doing the same.  They talk and he says the things he'd miss about being a vampire, feeding, speeding and reading minds.  As he takes her back to her house.  As well as "eternally looking great in a black leather jacket."  He's had enough fantasy for a hundred lifetimes and he wants to be human with her.  He gives her the cure, did she expect he'd leave it in the soapdish (his fave hiding place!)  and she takes it. Then has a fainting fit and can recall all her memories.  He  carries her to the Mystic Grill and she tells him it's all coming back to her now!

Enzo tells Stefan about Damon and wanting to take the cure and leaves.  He's such a troublemaker isn't he. Elena pricks her finger and wow, it bleeds, she's human now.  Cue Lily who snaps Damon's neck and wants to feed on her.  She escapes through the tunnel and calls Stefan.  He turns up and tells her to be a mother to them, that her sons love her too and she sees he's looking into her eyes and not lying.  Well two can play the acting game, as Damon vervains her from behind.  Didn't get wind of that ambush did she.  Stefan confronts him about taking the cure and he says he wants to be with Elena, but Stefan admits he's upset cos he doesn't want to lose his brother.

She's back in the dungeon after trying to stake Stefan that's right, she could've just staked herself instead and saved everyone the bleeding heart misery, as Stefan tells her she will always be his mother and in a few centuries may come to love her son.  She replies he doesn't know what it's like it be really devastated and she's going to bring back her family.  She and Kai can do a double act.

Elena tells Damon she recalls everything and his reply back at the island when she asked him to take the cure together and become human.  When he turned and walked away and he couldn't think of anything more miserable.  He'll wilt and die just like Katherine and we can't have that.  Jo tells Alaric about the twins and shows him the ultrasound but if the Gemini Coven find out they'll make them go through the ritual to strip Kai of his powers.  Alaric says they'll get married and run away.

Kai cooks breakfast for Lily's family as he prepares to leave that snow hell of 1903 behind and return!  Well he was always bound to return.  Another ep about Elena, surprise, surprise and Damon had to tell her Bonnie's okay as she stood in front of the fire, thinking of number one!  She couldn't even be bothered to go see her.  Hey is Kai a vampire/witchy now?  There were bite marks on his neck.  This show has its ups and down,s it has so many good eps and then we get some mediocre ones.  Wasn't it Stefan who wanted to take the cure and be human, yet Elena wasted it on Katherine. Now Damon wants to be human, so if he thought about it, deep down, it's not something he'd have wanted.  Stuck with Elena and human, who'd want that!  Yeah Elena, go and get your mouldy, burnt fries bag from that clock tower!!
