“Postcards From The Edge”
DAMON’S DARK DESCENT – When his experience in the Phoenix stone leads him to do the unthinkable, Damon (Ian Somerhalder) finds himself without a care in the world, spiraling out of control and under the influence of a dangerous and reckless Julian (guest star Todd Lasance). Refusing to give up on his brother, Stefan (Paul Wesley) attempts to reason with Damon only to uncover the devastating reason for his descent. Elsewhere, Caroline (Candice King) begins having some dangerous side effects as a result of her supernatural pregnancy and is forced to turn to Valerie (guest star Elizabeth Blackmore) for help. Meanwhile, Bonnie (Kat Graham), Nora (guest star Scarlett Byrne), and Mary Louise (guest star Teressa Liane) attempt to track down a ruthless vampire hunter named Rayna (guest star Leslie-Anne Huff) after they suspect that she has reemerged. Zach Roerig and Michael Malarkey also star. Pascal Verschooris directed the episode written by Rebecca Sonnenshine (#712). Original airdate 2/12/2016.
Episode 12:
Damon laying in the road. Car stops to help him. Damon asks for a hand up. Thought it'd make me feel better. Ever done something that makes you ill to see your reflection? Be honest, now. Damon confesses. Compels the man to give him a ride. And listen. Coop, I'm going to kill you now. It's nothing personal. I can't imagine caring about anyone ever again, not a single, solitary soul. Damon stops the car, dumps the body, and continues on.
Caroline writes to Elena. We all miss you. Stefan's worried about Damon. He returns with fries for her. Hi. Love you, too. Did you find him? No. Caroline feeling pains. She stands up, and gets woozy. Collapses.
Police officer looking through Matt's stuff. He says he confiscated it from zombie apocalypse enthusiasts. She lets him out and gives him his stuff. You can call me Penny. And I didn't officially book you last night, so, you're welcome. City Planning office called Doug to get his house back today. Matt asks what street?
Julian bringing town's people back to give homes to his vampires. Valerie gives him the message from the Huntress.
Nora and Bonnie chanted to find the Huntress. Mary Louise shows up. Got a message, too. Bonnie says she's in Cincinnati. And I'm going. Can't trust either one of you to take her down. Nora trusts Bonnie. Bonnie calls shotgun.
Julian burns the note. Asks when did you get this? Valerie is happy to see him afraid. Julian orders Kyle to kill her. Damon beheads Kyle. Julian is upset. Damon says bring it on.
**Beheadings are SO underrated. Very few things can live without their head, so if you're going to kill something powerful, remove it!
Caroline in the hospital. Doc says she's okay. Her heart is a little weak, but the babies are fine. Alaric is in Dallas. Stefan will call him. Goes in to see Caroline. Her hand is desiccating! WHOA.
Julian gives Damon 10 seconds to live. Any last words? Damon asks about the postcard. Julian breaks a pool cue. 10 seconds. Damon is amused. Julian gets it. You're still self-destructive. Who did you lose? The epic love in the box? How is darling Elena? Damon says I burned her alive. Julian proposes fun, and I think you have just the outlet for your pain.
Girls in the car. Huntress spelled to be a vampire hunter by shamans. Mary is bitchy in the backseat. Nora and Bonnie enjoying frosting her out.
Caroline and Stefan called Valerie. She thinks the babies are siphons. They're literally siphoning the vampire magic from your body.
Cincinnati. Looking for patient Rayna Cruz. Room 658 North Wing. Bonnie wants to make a plan. They get to the room and see an old woman in the bed.
**So, they're gotten a fake reading. Huntress would not want to be found so easily.
**And those babies will have to come out of Caroline early or she'll die.
Julian takes Damon to fight club. Losers die. Winners get Mystic Falls houses. Julian checks out a waitress. Damon watches the fight. Winner rips out the heart of his opponent. Julian tells Damon you want to feel pain, get in there.
Matt goes to the house in uniform and armed. Knocks. Lets himself in. Anyone home? Hello? Doug? Matt finds a dead Doug. Cop followed him. He tells her to leave now. Vampire comes in the back. She shoots. Matt kills it. You need wooden bullets.
Valerie gives Caroline a talisman for the babies to pull from. I won't let anything bad happen, I promise. Caroline thanks her. Stefan returns. Valerie leaves the room. He brought coffee. She says try not to worry. Have you spoken to Damon today? I saw him at the Mystic Grill. He made a show of getting under Julian's skin. Looked like he had a bit of a death wish.
Damon fights with the winner. And rips out his heart. What else you got?!
Bonnie and girls talk to the woman. She doesn't know what they're talking about. Asks for a cookie. This isn't the woman we're looking for. Nora says we'll keep looking. Mary marches off. Bonnie says go help her. You're using me to make her jealous, so go help her look.
Damon faces a bigger vampire, who has never lost a fight. Nice throw, Damon. Sam gets Damon vulnerable. Someone tosses Damon a stake and he kills Sam. Julian says no weapons! That's the rule. Damon wants another. Julian says then you fight me next. Stefan shows up. What's going on? Do not get in that ring. Whatever's going on, we'll figure it out. Julian demands an answer - in or out. Damon tells Julian he's in.
Valerie brought food and reading material. Where's Stefan? Valerie admits that he's in Mystic Falls helping Damon. Caroline says go make sure he's okay. Go!
Stefan tries to get Damon to stop. Damon says there's nothing to get through. This is what I deserve. Stefan says tell me what happened to you! Julian orders Stefan dragged out.
Bonnie brings a cookie to the old woman. The woman knows they were vampires. Bonnie asks how she ended up here? I got reckless. Staked a girl in the checkout counter. She grabs Bonnie's throat. Untie me before I crush your windpipe. Enzo throws a knife into Rayna's throat! He says it's a long story. Let's say for today I'm your guardian angel.
Damian and Julian start to fight. Taunt each other. Julian's winning. Damon tells Julian to rip his heart out. Sure? Do it. Julian is about to, and now in pain. Stefan returned with Valerie. Stefan would kill Julian for killing Damon and then all these people would rip my head off. Come on, Brother. They leave.
Enzo and Bonnie prepare to remove the body. Bonnie goes to get the Heretics and Enzo and the body are gone.
Stefan tries to get through to Damon. Damon's not going to flip his switch. I want to feel pain! Stefan asks again what did you do? Damon says I killed Elena. It was all Henry's idea. I kidnapped Tyler, and then I burned her to ashes. So go ahead, stand by me. Do it! Stefan punches him three times, then walks away.
**We know he didn't kill Elena. When will they figure out it was another hallucination? Stefan better call Tyler.
Stefan gets in the car. Beats on the steering wheel. Valerie gets in. Should get back to the hospital. She offers to drive. He says I'm fine. You don't seem fine. He says it's all Julian's fault. And I let him live. She says there's revenge and there's stupidity. You're the smart one. He doesn't want to be. He wants him dead.
Matt and the cop. Drinking. So, vampires are a thing and Mystic Falls has been completely overrun. That's what the weapons were for. What are you doing in this place? Matt says this town is the only constant I have. She says you're 100% not what I thought you were. I didn't know you were insanely brave. Emphasis on the insane.
Mary finds Nora. Thank you for today. Do you like her? Nora says what if I did? Mary says she's sorry she chose Julian. I love you, Nora. I hope you'll forgive me some day. Nora says we do still make a good team.
Caroline texts Stefan. Babies are moving. She says I'm bored, too. you're both going to have to show some self control a little longer, okay? Caroline in pain again. Her limbs are desiccating!
Stefan finds Julian. Stefan sticks Julian's hand to the table. Then punches him. Stefan says they can't see you. Valerie's magic. Stefan has a stake. Julian tries to stop it, but Stefan pushes. Slow and painful death. Julian desiccates. Dead.
Damon at home. The waitress says you never said thank you. She tossed him the stake. Promise I won't do it again. You like tequila? He says he's more of a bourbon man, but what do I have to lose? She kisses him. He stares at her, then grips her head and kisses her back.
Enzo sent the postcards to get to Rayna. Burns her body. 12:45 on the clock. A young woman beats on the door.
3 years from now - Stefan gets to the TV station. Matt says I got Caroline out. Damon is still inside. He injects Stefan. Now I never see you again, right? She says yes, thank you. Have a nice life. Rayna.
Next week - Rayna's trained and she's come to slay. Damon says you look a lot like a doppelganger.
