Because the Night


A young man and woman walk down an NYC street after dark and sees a body lying motionless on the sidewalk. In a blink, the body is gone and has been replaced by the young woman. Her boyfriend panics as Damon approaches -- and with good reason. Damon chomps on the man's neck. It's 1977. Fast forward to present day. Elena and Damon stroll down the bustling streets. "There's so much life that a little death goes unnoticed," Damon says. Stefan calls and, with Elena out exploring, Damon explains that he organized this little field trip to hunt down a lead in the search for the cure. Meanwhile, Caroline is cleaning up after a big party ... and downing half empty plastic cops as she goes. Klaus enters and Caroline isn't happy. "Tyler made it his life's mission to kill me -- you can't hate me for driving him away," he says. Stefan enters, explaining he wants Klaus's help to track down Silas. Bonnie is speaking with Silas, who looks a lot like Shane, and imagines the entire scene is in her head. Silas assures the witch that it is not -- and tells her to complete the Triangle by killing 12 people. "Twelve people you can bring back," he continues. "Bonnie, you can do this -- for Jeremy." Later, Stefan explains to Klaus that Silas must be stopped from completing the final of three massacres lest all dead supernatural beings come back, including many that Klaus personally dispatched. "My interest is piqued," growls Klaus. We then flashback once again to Damon in 1970s New York City. He is in an underground club and spots a potential victim. Before he can feed on the punk, Lexi interrupts him. "You're going to feed on him right here?" Lexi asks. "You're getting sloppy." Back in the present day, Rebekah interrupts Damon's trip down memory lane by slamming his head onto bar table and smiling at Elena. It is revealed that Damon is looking for the cure, making Elena angry. Later, she confides in Rebekah that she knew all along that Damon is searching for the cure, and she is tagging along in hopes of finding it first to avoid taking it. "He's playing me, I'm just returning the favor," Elena says. Caroline, Stefan, and Klaus head to Shane's old lab to try to find a lead that will take them to Silas. Caroline finds an old book that depicts the Expression Triangle. Silas, in the meantime, has convinced Bonnie to kill the 12 witches. When Bonnie's dad comes home, the witch shows her frustration by blowing out the windows and sending flames shooting out of the fireplace. "I need you to call mom," Bonnie tells her dad. "We need witches. A lot of them." Back in NYC, Damon explains to Elena and Rebekah that Lexi believed that Damon could turn his emotions back on if he started enjoying his life again. His music playing and people dancing, Elena begins to feed on a young woman in the crowd, allowing Damon to sneak out of the club. Back at Shane's lab, Caroline uses the book to map out a triangle of massacres, revealing two points where the final one could take place. Stefan, meanwhile, talks to Bonnie's dad and figures out exactly where the trio needs to head. Damon enters his buddy's apartment and begins searching files on all runners. Unfortunately, the files are organized by birth date and he can't remember when Katherine came into the world. Stefan calls and provides a date in the 15th century. "And that's why you were the better boyfriend," Damon quips. Sure enough, he finds a file with all last known addresses, including a pair in the last few months. It's a hot lead. Back in the 70s, we see Damon and Lexi getting drunk. Lexi brings up Katherine because she knows Damon loves her -- and love is the strongest of all emotions. "Let me help you," she says. "Tell me about Katherine." Damon claims that he actually loves Lexi. The two kiss. In the present day, Damon tells Elena the story. She grabs a bottle and invites him to the roof so he can finish his story. On the way, Elena winks at Rebekah. Bonnie lies on the ground screaming. She is surrounded by witches, who believe they are there to help the girl. Stefan soon steps in and stops the ceremony. "She's working for Silas!" he warns. "He brainwashed her to kill you." The head witch decides to kill Bonnie, but is stopped at the last minute by Caroline. Caroline kills the head witch and -- because the woman is connected to the 11 witches surrounding her -- the third massacre has now happened. "The Triangle is complete," gasps Bonnie. Stefan and Klaus are horrified. On the roof, Elena puts the moves on Damon. The two kiss, mirroring the Lexi-Damon make-out session. Elena tries to sneak her hand into Damon's pocket to remove the file containing Katherine's addresses -- and he pushes her away. "Did you really think that was going to work?" Damon asks. "I invented that trick." Flashback to the 70s, where we find out that Damon faked turning his humanity back on just to get Lexi isolated on the roof when the sun came up. He just wanted to get Lexi off his back. In the present day, Damon warns Elena that she might do something in her current state that she can't take back -- like he did. Suddenly, Rebekah appears and knocks Damon to the ground. The next morning, Bonnie awakens and doesn't remember a thing about the previous night. Worse, she doesn't remember a thing past the moment when Jeremy was trying to take the cure from Silas. "I have something that you need to know about Jeremy," Stefan says sadly. Caroline, in the meantime, is feeling mighty guilty about murdering the 12 witches -- and possibly allowing Silas to unleash what Klaus calls "Hell on Earth." She runs away in tears, leaving Klaus alone in the woods. Moments later, Silas appears. Damon swims out of unconsciousness on the rooftop -- same place he once left Lexi -- and gets a call from Elena. She has teamed up with Rebekah to find Katherine. They have taken the file. As the episode ends, Silas stabs Klaus with a stake. "Just a little something to remember me by," Silas says. "I'll be in touch."
