As soon as Damon loads Bonnie into the trunk of his car, Jeremy runs up, saying he got Damon's message but can't find anyone. "Where's Elena? Where's Bonnie?" Damon says they need to have a little talk and we cut to...

Mossy Manse: Elena is in the parlor sitting by the fire, sobbing and shivering. Stefan brings her a drink and softly encourages her to have some. I hope it's not blood. As Elena cries that it's her fault Bonnie is dead, Stefan points out that it's Klaus's fault. It's then that Damon walks in. Elena goes right for him and will have none of it when Damon talks over her and tells Stefan to calm her down. That's my girl. She calls him on talking about her like she's not there, so he tells her directly to calm down, and she does what I certainly would do. She smacks his face once he admits that he knew Bonnie was likely to die expending all that 100-witch-juice power. Damon continues talking, and takes his damned sweet time coming out with the true story. When he eventually gets it out, Elena learns that Damon and Bonnie knew they needed Klaus to believe Bonnie was dead, which meant Elena had to be convinced Bonnie was dead, but Bonnie's not so very dead after all. She cast a spell, and although Damon doesn't spell out the spell, it seems to me it must just be a spell that mimics death, although there certainly is plenty of speculation out there that she actually died for a time. Spell spell spell spell spell spell spell. I'm no longer sure I'm spelling that correctly. A lot of people have bagged on this fake-out for being predictable. It doesn't bother me, I think because until the reveal, although I knew Bonnie and Damon must have been up to something, I couldn't figure out what it was. Part of me wondered if she was going to be vamp-witch, 'cause that'd be cool.

We cut to the mansion where Bonnie juiced up with the 100 witches' death-magic. Is that supposed to be the original Salvatore place? Shoot me an email if you know. See, because if it is, I'm confused. Okay, so the original Salvatore mansion could have been built on the site where the 100 Salem witches were slaughtered. However, Damon knows about the site where the witches were slaughtered because in his day, the Council burned Emily Bennett on the same site, right? But how could it be on the same site if there was by then (and still is) a house on that site? Help. Help. Help.
