Okay, so the episode started with a dream/flashback that Caroline was having, which was really sad/cute. In the dream, Caroline had just fallen off her bike, and Liz is putting a bandage on her cut, and Caroline asks her mum about death, Liz tells Caroline that it'll be a very long time before she dies, and Caroline asks Liz what will happen if she dies and Caroline is left alone, and Liz says that when that happens, Caroline will be all grown up and won't need her anymore, to which Caroline replies with "I think I'll always need you". Caroline wakes up and goes to get water. She finds Damon in the kitchen struggling to write his speech for the funeral. Caroline is rude to Damon, not realising that he also needs some support as he really cared about Liz, in return, he is an ass to Caroline by telling her the harsh truth, that today would be okay because she would have all her friends around her, scared to leave her alone, and that the hardest day would be next week, when she'd be all alone. This makes Caroline think.
Caroline then gives all of her friends different jobs to do for the preparation for the funeral, and asks Elena to go with her to buy the coffin.
It then goes to Bonnie, who now has magic and is celebrating that she will later in the day, be going home.
It then cuts to Jo and Alaric, Jo is throwing up because she has food poisoning. Kai then knocks on the door, saying that because they cheated the merge by using the wrong twin, he is now dying and asks for Jo's help. He explains that if he dies, so does Joe, their father, sister and the rest of their coven, this convinces Jo to help Kai.
Damon then has a flashback to just before his mothers funeral when he is talking to 10 year old Stefan about his speech. After his flashback, Stefan asks Damon for advice about Caroline, Damon tells Stefan that Caroline is looking for something real, and if Stefan doesn't think that Caroline is "the one" then he should break it off with her before it hurts her even more, but to not do it today because of the funeral.
It then goes to Caroline and Elena who have a similar conversation as Caroline tells Elena that she and Stefan kissed, and wants to talk to him about it but doesn't know when to do it. Elena tells Caroline to do it tomorrow.
It then goes back to Jo and Kai. Jo does a full medical checkup on Kai and says that there is nothing medically wrong with him, Kai then throws up, falling forward and grabbing Jo for support so that he doesn't fall, as he does this, he takes away some of Jo's magic and instantly feels better. This is when Kai discovers that in order to save him from dying, he needs to have Jo's magic. But, because Alaric isn't happy about this, Kai has to explain that if he dies, all of the prison worlds will collapse.
Bonnie is then shown in the cave under the soon to be eclipse preparing to go back to the normal world. But, the world changes around her.
Damon is then shown having a flashback to after his mothers funeral were he met up with an upset Stefan who asks why he didn't show up to their mothers funeral. Damon claims he didn't go because he didn't know what to say. Stefan replies with "you could have just said goodbye"
It then shows Alaric talking to Jo about what Kai has told them. He tells her that he'll love her no matter what she decides to do. and that he'll love her even without her magic.
The funeral.
Caroline is stood in front of her mothers open coffin and Stefan walks in. She asks him were she stands with him and he explains that he doesn't think that it is an appropriate time to talk about it, suggesting they talk about it tomorrow. He then leaves and Caroline goes over to her mother and starts crying and says "I'm going to be alright mum, I promise, everything will be alright after today"
It then shows Bonnie exploring the prison world she has been dropped in. As she's walking around through the snow, she finds footprints in the snow that lead to a house. She goes in and uses her magic to turn on the light. Only one light turns on so she goes into that room. While in there, she finds a diary with an entry that explains the northern lights and basically, that they act like a portal out of the prison just like the eclipse did. The diary entry was dated 1903.
The funeral
The first thing shown in this scene is technically not the funeral but outside. As it shows Tyler turning up to the funeral drunk and Matt turning him away explaining that he understands and sympathises with all the crap he's going through, but Caroline doesn't deserve him bringing all of his crap there.
The first thing that is shown of the actual funeral is the display that the police officers put on to show their respect to Liz. The next thing that is shown is Damon's speech. In his speech, Damon tells Caroline everything that her mother had told him in her last minutes. Caroline then sings a song dedicated to her mother. During this, Stefan realises his feelings for her. (I cried through the whole ceremony, it was insanely emotional)
It then goes to the wake after the funeral. The first thing shown is Matt going and sitting down with Tyler and Tyler explaining that he's now sober. Matt then says that he was moved by the way the police honored Liz and that he wanted to be a part of something like that, so he got an application for himself and Tyler for the police training programme. Caroline leaves the wake early. Elena tries to stop her, Caroline thanks Elena for everything she has done for her that day and say's she'll never forget it and then leaves. Elena then realises how weird Caroline has been being that day.
(I swear this is nearly finished. I didn't think it would be this long)
Bonnie is then shown exploring the house she found. She finds a photo frame that has a picture of Damon in one side and a picture of Stefan in the other. I think this is were she realises that she's in their old home.
Jo gives Kai her magic causing the prison worlds to shift between one another. When back in the prison world she was originally in, Bonnie notices the time and realises she only has a few minutes to complete the spell for her to go back home. But as she's running back to the cave, the worlds continue to shift between one another. When she gets back to the cave, she's in 1903 again and says that the nothern lights work the same as the eclipse so she should be able to do the spell still. After completing the spell, just before she gets pulled out of prison, a women appears asking Bonnie who she is. Bonnie asks the women the same question, but before she could get an answer, she's pulled out of prison. Little does she know, the video recorder she has been using recorded the whole thing as she forgot to turn it off when she left Damon and Stefan's old home. (this is revealed until the end of the episode though, but I'm mentioning it here to make explaining things easier later)
Kai is then shown thanking Jo for giving him her magic, and then whispering something in her ear, then saying "have a nice life sissie" and leaving. Alaric asks Jo what Kai had said, and she says that she wasn't sick because of food poisoning, she's pregnant (yay). Alaric then proposes and explains that he bought the ring after her brother died, and that he had planned on proposing that morning but she had been ill, explaining that it wasn't the pity proposal that Jo thought it was. Jo says yes! (obviously)
Damon and Stefan are then shown discussing their mothers funeral. But end up talking about Caroline. Stefan explains that although he has no way of explaining how he feels for her now, he believes that it could turn into something better than he has had before. Damon tells Stefan that he should go and tell her.
Caroline is shown getting home and sorting out some things in her mothers house. Elena then turns up and tells Caroline that she knows that she's planning on turning off her humanity switch. After they argue the topic for a few minutes, Elena tells Caroline that she's not going to let her turn off her humanity. Caroline snaps Elena's neck and says "that's not your choice to make".
Damon is then shown in his home trying to get in touch with Elena. But, as he walks into the kitchen. He is taken aback by the pancakes that are sitting on a plate on the island. he then says "bonnie" to which she replies with "the one and only". Damon smiles at her and opens up his arms. She runs over to him and jumps into his arms for a hug.
When Stefan gets to Caroline's home, he finds Elena unconscious on the floor and calls for Caroline and gets no answer.
It then goes back to Damon and Bonnie. Damon is holding the picture frame that Bonnie found and Bonnie shows him the recording. They pause the video on the woman's face and the episode ends with Damon looking at the woman and saying "oh my god, that's my mother".
Over all, I think the episode was amazing. Which is pretty amazing as I wasn't too impressed with the storyline so far. I'm glad that Bonnie is back, she's my favourite character and I was getting pretty bored with her being stuck in prison. They need to try and keep her alive and with her friends for a while now because her dying and coming back to life all the time is getting a bit boring.
I really do not like Caroline and Stefan as a couple but I think that with her turning off her humanity, it won't bother me too much cos she won't be interested in him anyway. I think the Jo and Alaric storyline is amazing aswell. Their child will be fucking adorable and their wedding will be magical. Really looking forward to the next episode as the preview looked really good! anyway, enough from me, this post is long enough.
If you enjoyed this, feel free to let me know. and let me know if you didn't aswell.
Also, if anyone has any suggestions for a show for me to watch, let me know because I have nothing else to watch now.
