Damon (Ian Somerhlader) regrets killing Elena as we know and stops a passerby on a road, has his little game of cat and mouse with him before killing him, cos that's what he's life's become now.  Oh the usual spiral you go down when you've killed the woman you're meant to love.  So he's looking for a deathwish now and doesn't really care if he gets killed or not.  That's not going to make him feel better since it'll just put him out of his agonizing misery.  He turns up at the Mystic Grill in search of pain.  But no amount of pain will help the hurt that he's really feeling deep down.  Oh look Bonnie (Kat Graham) doesn't have to worry about getting old and dying now for Elena to return, she can just get old now at her leisure!  Ha.  So Damon kills another one of Julian's (Todd Lasance) lackey's by taking his head off, a scene stealer from a Supernatural ep or two of course, oh wait, should that be head stealer.

Julian having waned him to stay away from his friends or they'll die.  Second mistake Damon made was telling Julian he'd killed Elena by burning her alive.  Julian feels partly responsible cos he lost Lily, then she was his touchstone and kept him sane.  After which he killed her and now he's going to do the same with Damon.  Who saved Valerie (Elizabeth Blackmore) from him after she delivers Julian a postcard with a red 'X' on it.  All of the Heretics knowing this means it's from the huntress. Apparently she was spelled by a Shaman to kill them all and Rayna (Leslie-Anne Huff) is located by Bonnie and one of her locator spells she does with Nora (Scarlett Byrne).  Mary Louise (Teressa Liane) turns up and says she wants to go and find her in Cincinnati too.  Bonnie wants to go cos she's not trusting her friends' lives with them and calls shotgun.

She also knows Nora is using her to make Mary Louise jealous.  When they arrive at the mental institution, they find an old woman who doesn't appear to be Rayna and she pretends she doesn't know what they're talking about.  Later she tries to strangle Bonnie on the pretext of wanting the cookie fed to her and to undo her restraints when Enzo (Michael Malarkey) saves her, seemingly killing Rayna.  When Bonnie returns with the others to take the body away, he's taken her.  We see him burning her and she reemerges much younger.  Don't know what his game is just yet, seems like he escaped from Matt's 'shadowy' organization as he tells Bonnie.

Matt (Zach Roerig) and his new found lady deputy friend, lets him go and he returns to Mystic Falls after she lets slip about the fires burning out at someone's address.  Where he finds vampires and she follows him there.  She needs wooden bullets if she's going to wear a uniform in Mystic Falls and he tells her vampires are real.  She thought he was cute but now he's also brave in her eyes.

Stefan (Paul Wesley) goes looking for Damon after Valerie tells him about his behaviour.  Damon ending up at a vampire fight club.  Let's see, what hearts are ripped out in vampire fightclub, stay in vampire fightclub, or some such nonsense.  Julian tells him to fight and Damon relishes beating all the fighters, as well as being aided by a bar wench who throws  him a weapon so he can defeat the invincible fighter.  Julian's not happy with that and so he fights Damon himself next.

Caroline (Candace King) writes in her journal for Elena, somebody should tell her that's pointless now and soon, as Stefan brings her curly fries and a cheeseburger.  Should she even be eating the cheeseburger in her condition.  She passes out and at hospital notices her hand's desiccating.  Valerie says the babies are siphoning her blood and gives her a talisman bracelet which should help her. Which appears to work for now.  Caroline thanks her cos they should really be hating each other cos of Stefan.

Stefan gets to Damon in time and saves him from Julian ripping Damon's heart out cos that's what Damon really wants and tells him to do it.  Stefan tells Damon he will kill Julian right now and be killed for it if he doesn't let him help.  As they leave Stefan confronts him over what he's done and Damon admits he burned her.  Stefan punches him, loses it in the car.  Then tells Valerie he blames Julian cos he took Lily when he was little, killed their baby, lives in his home, then he stabbed Damon with the sword.  He will kill him.  Valerie says there's a difference between stupidity and revenge and Stefan isn't stupid, unlike Damon, but later helps him stake Julian.  Let's hope this'll be the end of the Heretics as we know them.  Let's not let it drag now.  Damon gets it on with bar wench and well, let's not have him go down that road again.  He may have told Stefan he's not going to pull his switch but we don't want the bimbos back in his life now.

Three Years From Now

Matt tells Stefan he let Caroline go before he injects him in the neck.  As Damon's tied up and we see the huntress again.

It was along time coming Stefan finally offing Julian and he had to be the one to do it, he did lose the most cos of him.  So if it was this easy why didn't it just happen before. Hoping they wouldn't do a three years from now, but they had to squeeze it in, not that it was necessary, we really didn't see much we hadn't already seen aside from Rayna getting a face.  Just what was Enzo doing with her.  I mean he pretends to kill her, she becomes ageless and then Matt's working with her in the future.
