connection, until an incident occurs at the bar and Stefan is forced to forget everything that happened including his love for Rebecca, they never saw each other again until the end of the episode and that is when old sparks started to fly again.

When Stefan got his memory erased, by who? Klaus, he forgot every single thing that happened while he was in Chicago. He

forgot about the feeding before partying, he forgot the girls and the drinking, everything. Through all the flashbacks, what Stefan tried to piece together, and Klaus compelling him to remember, Stefan remembered. What do we learn? That Stefan and Klaus were really close, almost like brothers at some point. Surprising?

No worries though, I did not forget about our blonde vampire next door. As we remember from the last episode, Caroline was captured by her dad and put into this vampire-torturing place. In this episode, Caroline is tortured by her dad by not because her dad wants to hurt her, but because her dad wants to fix her. He believes in some remedy that make Caroline not a monster, the thing that daddy should have figured out is that even as a vampire, Caroline wouldn’t even want to hurt a fly. Blondie’s boyfriend comes to the rescue! He gets help from Caroline’s mom to save Caroline, and he rescues her. Wow, how sweet, the werewolf boyfriend saves the day.

Does anyone remember the vervain necklace? The one Stefan gave to Elena as a present to keep her safe, back in season one? Well, its more than just any vervain necklace, we learn that it is the key to contact an original witch AND it once belonged to Rebecca. Yes, Rebecca. The necklace that Stefan’s old love Rebecca owned is the same necklace that Stefan put around Elena’s neck in Season 1. What? Stefan how could you? Give the necklace that once belonged to your vampire girlfriend to your human girlfriend? Now, that we know that it is a key into contacting the original witch, we know Stefan is probably going to reunite with Elena again 🙂 Why do we need the original witch? Because Klaus’ plan to make more hybrids is not working and he wants to know why. But you and I know the secret, its because the doppelganger, Elena, is not actually dead, and everyone knows that but Klaus.

Stefan and Elena see each other and talk to each other for the FIRST time and I know everyone is happy about that. They see each other for the first time up close when Stefan and Klaus visit Stefan’s old apartment,  and when entering the hidden closet where Stefan ritually writes all his victims names, They see each other and smile. Stefan’s first encounter with Elena didn’t make  him too happy because he later lashed out at Damon for first bringing Elena here at all because of the danger of Klaus finding her when he thinks she’s dead. They actually talk towards the end of the episode when Elena tells Stefan to “Come home.” and hugs him thinking that it will get him distracted enough for her to inject vervain into him, but she was wrong. When he backs up, he tells her that he doesn’t want to come home, that it will never be the same, and that he doesn’t want her and she should forget about her. A little harsh Stefan, Don’t you think? Elena wears a frown and a broken heart the whole ride home. I think Elena should have been smart enough to know he didn’t mean it, but after what he said to her, it looks like she took it pretty hard. Do you think she will finally give up on Stefan or will she keep fighting for him?
