The Vampire Diaries, Season 2, Episode 2: Brave New World
The episode starts with Caroline waking up gasping as if she had just had a bad dream. Confused and feeling disorientated, Caroline walks out of her hospital room and asks the nurse a few questions like "where is my mom and can i get something to eat?". The nurse tells Care to go back to sleep. Just when Care's about to walk back to her room she smells something. Caroline waits for the nurse to leave the main hall.
After the nurse leaves, Care walks toward the smell and looks at the IV bag of blood.
The nurse returns and tells Care to go back to bed once again and this time, Caroline obliges. After the nurse leaves closing Care's door, she takes out the blood packet. She looks at it for a while before sucking through the straw. Disgusted, she throws the packet down on the floor and then unable to resist the urge, starts drinking again.

The scene switches to The Mystic Falls High School Carnival. Elena and Bonnie are chatting and Bonnie tells Elena that Katherine looked exactly like her and it was freaky. Elena tells Bonnie that she didn't want to talk about Damon, Katherine or anything vampire related.
Stefan tells Jeremy about vervain and how it was toxic to vampires. Stefan tells Jeremy to forget about Damon and just move on when Jeremy tells Stefan that Damon deserves to be killed.
Elena walks over to the guys and Jeremy tells Elena he knows to do and leaves. Stefan and Elena chat and Elena tells Stefan that she wanted to be the boring normal high school teenager once again.
Next, Carol and Damon are shown sitting at the Lockwood mansion having tea. As they talk. Mason and Tyler walk in through the door laughing. Carol tells Damon that Mason has nothing to do with the council and there was no reason for them to bring him in now either.
Damon automatically concentrates on the conversation Tyler and Mason were having. Mason is asking Tyler what exactly happens when Tyler gets mad. Tyler tells him he blacks out and he is full of rage then. Damon is startled when Carol asks him if he wanted more tea.
Caroline is sitting on her hospital bed. She sees a ray of sunshine and puts her hand where the ray was. She pulls it back wincing as she realized how much it burned her. Matt opens the door to her room with a tray of food. He tells her that she should eat but she replies back saying the food was gross. Matt leans in for a kiss but Care stays back due to the ray of sunshine between them.
Matt informs her that she'll be discharged tomorrow morning. Care freaks out and insists she should be discharged tonight.

Damon and Stefan chat casually and Damon teases Stefan about his animal diet. Stefan asks Damon if he had heard from Katherine. Damon changes the subject right away telling Stefan his theory about the Lockwoods not being humans. Stefan tells Damon that they haven't heard the last from Katherine so surely she was up to something. Damon tells him that since Katherine had come back to profess her undying love for him, it was up to him what to do.
Caroline is putting on her jewelry and when she starts to put on the necklace Elena had given her, she is surprised when it burns her so she throws it to the floor. She takes out a another blood packet and drinks from it. Slowly veins and fangs pop out and she stares in the mirror horrified. She chokes out horrified sounds and the nurse comes running in worried. Care pins the nurse to the wall and unknowingly using her "convincing" power tells the nurse to not tell anyone about what she saw. Caroline lunges for the nurses throat.
Elena and Bonnie are teasing each other and talking casually. A guy named Carter flirts with Bonnie and the two walk off so Bonnie could "show him what was wrong with the karaoke speakers".
