Cut to the street, where Jeremy is leaving another frantic voicemail for Bonnie, then back to the house where it seems like Elena might have gotten away with texting. There's more smalltalk and then Kol asks Elena if she's killed. "Or are you one of those Mary Sue vampires?" I know everyone seems to have loved this line, but it broke the fourth wall a little too much for me (and I'm usually fine with that). Elena admits that she killed once, and then finally Kol suggests they talk about Silas. As he heads out to the living room. Elena gets a text from Matt, who has had no luck finding the dagger, yet. We cut to...

Rebekah's bedroom. Matt is on a panty raid, because the dagger is nowhere to be found, and it's the closest he's gotten to panties in like, forever. We cut back to...

Gilbert Gables. Kol ran with witches in 14th century Africa, 17th century Haiti, and in New Orleans in the 1900s. He learned from them that if Silas rises, he'll unleash hell on earth and Kol likes earth the way it is. Yes, I hear the Spike echo of "Happy Meals with legs." Kol lectures Elena about the modern lack of faith and how in doing so, they no longer know who they should fear. I can't help but think this is a nice little sendoff to Nate Buzolic.

Bennett Bungalow. Interim Dad has taken Bonnie's phone and car keys in an attempt to make her stay put for the family meeting. Um, hello? You summoned her home hours ago, Interim Dad. Meet already. Bonnie laughs at Interim Dad trying to be a father, even as he lectures her about Shane and reminds her he lost Abby to witchcraft. Yeah, I'm pretty sure Bonnie remembers that, Interim Dad. When Jeremy knocks on the door and asks for Bonnie, Interim Dad tries to send him packing but Jeremy is persistent and barges in. When he tells her Kol is in Gilbert Gables, Bonnie says she has to go, but Interim Dad trots out the, "I said no."
