During all this, Bonnie and Matt are trying to reverse the spell that Matt did that let Vicki out, so Bonnie can send her back. As Alaric's car is burning, Matt and Bonnie complete their Vicki exorcism. She is mystically dragged from the scene of the crime back to the classroom where they're working their mojo. It's now only Matt who is holding her here. Poor Pudding Pop has to let her go to banish her entirely, and watching him do so breaks my heart. And yes, I did largely plagiarize myself for the last two paragraphs. Look, we're at triple weecap length and counting. I do need to stop and eat every once in a while.

Mossy Manse: Despite Elena's protests, Damon tends to the wounds on Elena's face. As he does, she compliments him on executing his part of the plan. "You had Rebekah drooling all over you...and your marshmallows." Damon chuckles. "Yeah, before she skewered me. I thought you were too drunk to notice." Elena: "I was faking most of it." Damon: "So was I." Elena's eyes light up at that. Damon meets her gaze. They're interrupted by Alaric. "Ready to go, Elena?" Damon turns to his ex-friend. "Good work tonight, Ric. Sorry about the car, man. Bummer." Sorry, Evil Pixie Monster. Alaric cannot be had for the price of a few pretty words and some soft eye-thinging.

Lockwood Mansion: Caroline dresses and Tyler wraps his hindquarters in a blanket, as he teases her about always running out on him after. She tells him he has to earn the overnighter. They kiss goodbye and Caroline takes her leave. No sooner is she gone than Rebekah is at the door with "a little present." That little present is a young woman, bleeding from the neck. The woman is either Asian, or African-American, or perhaps a mix -- so on this show, you know she's dead. She should only be magical, too. Tyler is horrified. He tells Becky she should go, but once she taunts him and bites into her victim du jour, our baby hybrid cannot resist.

MtVVS's Crypt: MtVVS explains to Kiki that he's been denying himself human blood for centuries, and then asks why she has awoken him. She wants to know how to kill Satan Klaus. MtVVS asserts he can indeed kill Klaus and asks her to loosen him from his chains. Kiki complies. MtVVS rubs the kinks out of his arms as he thanks her. Katherine says, "A little blood will grease those muscles up real quick. Just sayin'..." When MtVVS says, "I don't feed on living things," Kiki asks him what he does eat. He grabs her by the scruff of her neck, draws him to her and sucks her blood 'til she falls limp. She can't be dead, right? She'd have to be staked, beheaded, or burnt. Drain her blood and she'll come back. Right? RIGHT?!
