Ep 5:
3 years from now. Bonnie in group therapy. Is there something you want to talk about? She says she's been thinking about the past lately, about one stupid decision. You life belongs to someone else. I made a mistake and I lost someone I loved. I'd do anything to take it back but I can't. All I can do is.....try to find a way to live with it. Is she in rehab?
Bonnie comes to her room and Enzo is there. He says you can't hide here forever. She runs to him and kisses him!!!
Present. Ric with Jo at home. Bonnie asks how she's doing. he says she's been sleeping for 12 hours. She brought term papers. He asks her to be a TA. She says I need to figure out how I brought Jo back to the land of the living. I want to figure out what kind of magic I was dealing with. She asks for the Stone. He hands it over. Jo wakes up. He asks how she's feeling? She says I'm starving.
Caroline and Stefan in bed. She's awake. He says this is torture for you, isn't it? She says no.....so happy lying here doing nothing.... He knows she's making a mental checklist of things to do today. She rolls over and kisses him. Damon comes in with coffee. Caroline says I hate sugar in my coffee. Stefan asks why are you here? Damon wants to celebrate. I've decided to turn over a new leaf. We're going to interrogate a tall, beautiful Heretic with a bad attitude. Caroline says Valerie? Damon goes wait, V-card Valerie? Caroline tells Stefan to go, have fun.
Enzo feeds Oscar. Lily says good morning. It was kind of Enzo to sit with him all night. Lily has the maid put out fresh flowers. Julian will arrive soon. She wants Enzo and Julian to get along. Nora and Mary Louise come in. They try to get Oscar to chat. Lily asks Enzo to stay with him again.
Valerie's trying to find Julian. Enzo says Lily and company are right behind you. Valerie slams on the brakes. Damon. She stole Matt's SUV. She asks him to move his car. Damon says sure, but first, why did you kill Oscar? She gets mad. Stefan says quit torturing my brother and tell me what's going on here.
Caroline working with flashcards. Bonnie arrives. Caroline says she sent Stefan to spend the day with Valerie. Bonnie says you're either insane or the most secure woman in the world. Caroline wants him to get a clean slate. Bonnie says she's going to talk to Oscar.
Stefan and Damon and Valerie in the car. She says Julian is a monster. Damon asks how they met. Stefan says at the Town Fair. Damon, please shut up. Damon read the journal. Stefan says she was just spying for Lily. It was all a game, wasn't it? Valerie says please stop.
Jo eating. She asks is the TV is art? No, that's a TV. Ric says it'll take time for your memories to come back. He says the Thai food is her favorite, except for the meat. He cuts his hand opening wine. She says it's not serious, if you have bandages I'll wrap it for you.
Caroline has one make-up exam down, two to go. On the phone with Stefan. He wants to go to dinner tonight. She'd love that. Feeling guilty for pushing you into the car. Stefan says don't, I needed a push. She asks if he's okay? He says yes. What time do I pick you up tonight? She replies and says she likes daisies. Valerie says Julian is dead. He's been dead since 1903. She has gas to burn the body.
Bonnie gets to the house. Enzo offers to exchange small talk before he throws her out. She says she needs to talk to Oscar. He says maybe another time. They hear the maid scream. Oscar snacking on her. Enzo heals her. Compels her to take a spa day and forget about Oscar. Oscar remembers Bonnie from the dark room in the basement. He's hungry. She asks him about The Phoenix Stone. Shows it to him. He says you got me out of there.
Oscar stashed Julian's body. Stefan and Valerie bicker. Damon breaks into the building. Turns the light on. Casket emporium. Clever. They search the coffins. She says Lily needs the Phoenix Stone to reunite Julian's soul with his body. She says the Phoenix Stone is stuffed with very old vampire souls. You jammed one of those souls into Oscar's body.
**Dun Dun dunnnnn. So, Oscar's not Oscar, and Jo wouldn't be Jo. Poor Ric.
Damon calls Bonnie. He says tell Ric that's not his wife. The Stone is a holding cell for lost vampire souls. She says she came to talk to Oscar about the phone. He says cut it short. Let Ric down gently. She says fine, but you owe me. He says thanks, Bon Bon.
She's about to leave. Enzo asks about the Stone. Lily has been looking for one just like it. Oscar charges Bonnie. I'm not going back! Enzo stops him. Oscar gets mad and realizes he has magic. Bonnie says run!
Ric asks Jo if she wants to take a walk? She asks what happened to me? This was mine, wasn't it? He says this was your wedding dress. She asks what happened? He says your brother had a long vendetta against you and I couldn't get you to the hospital in time. She says I was stabbed in the heart! Don't touch me. Stay away from me. She runs out.
Still looking in coffins. Stefan asks why Valerie put the spell on Caroline? She says I'm not a horrible person. He asks then what are you? He finds a coffin that won't open. She works on it. Opens it. Julian. His body has been preserved with magic. She pours gas on it. Lights it, and the flame doesn't work. Nora and Mary Louise blocking it. Lily, we found Valerie. Lily with the other male Heretic. UH OH.
Lily closes the coffin. Says she needs a minute with Valerie. You left Julian's ring in Oscar's pocket. Valerie says Julian is a monster. You were so blinded by your love for him, it's like no one else exists. She slaps Valerie. Stefan intercedes. Damon asks what are we missing? Who is this really? Lily says he's the love of my life. He makes me better, Damon. Know anything about that? Valerie pleads no. She's playing you! Julian made her cruel. Lily gave Kai the idea to put Elena in the coma. Damon attacks Lily. The male Heretic saves her and blasts all the coffins.
Bonnie and Enzo hide. She spells the door. She tells him to give her that Stone back. Enzo says Lily wants it for Julian. She says you're going to help Lily get her boyfriend back? Have some dignity. Enzo says he doesn't need her advice. She says maybe you deserve better. Oscar breaks in and asks where's the Stone? Bonnie says he has it, and leaves.
Stefan and Damon wake and get up. Stefan calls for Valerie. Stefan tries calming Damon down. We're not going to let Lily get away with it, I promise, but not now. Tell me you're fine and not going to do anything stupid. Damon says I'm fine. Stefan says good.
Oscar tosses Enzo. Enzo tosses the Stone, then stakes Oscar from behind. Oscar collapses. Enzo takes the stone back.
Stefan pulls all the wood out of Valerie. She says if I knew you'd hate me, I would've acted differently. He says I wanted the truth. She says I was coming back for you. Julian caught me trying to leave. I'd be a distraction. I was pregnant. I wanted to tell you in person. I wasn't sure if you'd....but Julian found out and made sure there was nothing to tell. He made sure it wasn't a problem anymore. I wouldn't be able to look you in the eye, so I left with them. I'm so sorry.
Enzo tells Lily that Oscar died 2 nights ago. He was brought back with the Stone. Why would Valerie throw away everything to prevent you from bringing Julian back? She says Valerie thinks I'm too blinded by love to see his flaws. Lily says if you're asking me to choose between you and Julian.....He says that's exactly what I'm asking. She caresses his face and says please understand. He gives her the Stone and leaves.
Bonnie sitting along with booze. She calls Ric. He says Jo freaked out. I could use your help looking for her. She says we made a mistake. It's not Jo. He says that's my wife. She says no, it's not her. Jo was never in that Stone. I'm so sorry. Where are you? I'm meeting with Damon and we can figure this out. He hangs up.
Finds Jo. She says nothing about this world makes sense. He says you're not my wife. She says I don't think I am. If I'm not Jo, who am I? Ric says I don't know, but you're not alone. I'll help you. We'll figure this out together, okay? He takes her hand.
Caroline asks Stefan how late he'll be. He says he's still in Mystic Falls. Sorry. Things got complicated. She says Bonnie told her. Stefan says I promise I'll make tonight up to you, okay? She asks if there's anything else she should know? He says no. I'll see you tomorrow. She says okay.
Stefan with Valerie. He's angry he didn't know. Sad that it was taken away from me. I want to kill Julian. And I'm sorry you had to go through this alone. Valerie says after it happened, I took my own life. I didn't know I had vampire blood in my system. Funny how one event can change the outcome of your entire life. She asks him to please not tell anyone. He says I would've wanted a child, yes. We have 5 guest rooms. You should stay the night. She says no, I need to run as far and as fast as I can. Stefan says I'll kill Julian myself.
Nora and May Louise chant on Julian.
Damon and Bonnie. Sure you want to do this? he says burning that bastard's body would've been too good for Lily. I want to give her that man. I want her to run into Julian's arms, taste true happiness.
Julian is awake. Lily asks is that you? He says her name. She hugs and kisses him.
Damon says and then I want to break her heart, her spirit. I want to destroy her. Tell me I'm not doing right by Elena. Bonnie says you're doing right by Elena. They toast.
Next week - Dinner party for Julian. Stefan and Damon attack him.
