Episode 4:13- Into The Wild

Shane takes Bonnie, Elena, Stefan, Damon, Jeremy, and Rebecca to an island to follow Jeremy’s map to find the cure (and Silas as well). We see flashbacks from Shane’s past, in which visions of his deceased wife come to him and she explains that if Silas is freed, Silas can bring back the dead. She tells Shane what is needed in order to awaken Silas; he will need a vampire hunter, a descendent of the witch, Qetsiyah, who buried Silas with the cure, and three sacrifices of twleve. Qetsiyah created a cure to end immortality, and she buried Silas with this cure hoping he would take it. Qetsiyah’s descendants used magic to create the five vampire hunters to eventually kill Silas should he ever be woken up. The episode ends with Jeremy getting kidnapped by strangers and taken away from the group, while Damon gets shot with an arrow by a mysterious vampire hunter.

Episode 4:14- Down the Rabbit Hole

Damon is kidnapped by a vampire hunter named Galan, who tells Damon the vampire cure only has enough dosage for one vampire. Galan leads Damon to the tomb where Silas and the cure are stored, and Rebekah arrives and saves Damon just before Galan tries to kill him. Jeremy was kidnapped by a mysterious man working for Shane, and Bonnie finds them all using a locator spell. Bonnie doesn’t want to help Shane free Silas at this point, but Shane tells Bonnie if she hurts him, she will be hurt as well (as a consequence of Expression). Bonnie uses her power to take the magic out of Jeremy’s map and opens the tomb doors. Bonnie and Jeremy go look for Silas’ tombstone and the cure. Meanwhile Galan escapes from Rebekah, stabs Bonnie in the tomb and tries to convince Jeremy to get the cure so they can kill Silas and fulfill their destiny. Elena arrives, knocks out Galan, and cuts Jeremy to use his blood to wake up Silas. As Silas wakes up, Elena grabs the cure and flees while Silas grabs Jeremy and drinks all of his blood.

Episode 4:15- Stand By Me

It was actually Katherine, posing as Elena, who took the cure and fled. Stefan arrives and finds the real Elena waking up on the ground, and the two of them rush to find Jeremy’s corpse. Rebekah finds Shane dying in the woods and his last words are “Silas.” Elena brings Jeremy’s body back to Mystic Falls and is in complete denial over his death. She comes to grip with her brother’s death once she smells his corpse rotting. Completely distraught, Elena prepares to burn her house down while screaming and crying over her brother’s death. Damon uses his sire bond to turn off Elena’s humanity so she does not have to deal with her emotions, and she sets her house on fire and leaves.

Episode 4:16- Bring It On

Now that Elena’s emotions are turned off, she becomes merciless and void of any tact or decency. She nearly kills Caroline’s mom and one of her classmates. When Stefan confronts her about her behavior, Elena explains she feels strong and powerful, better than she has ever felt because she is no longer weak. Damon takes Elena out of the city and to New York to let her have some fun. The episode ends with Stefan learning vials of blood have been disappearing from local hospitals; he suspects Silas is alive, in Mystic Falls and stealing the blood. Read our review

Episode 4:17- Because the Night

In New York City, Damon lets Elena indulge herself while he secretly looks for clues as to Katherine’s whereabouts. Rebekah arrives and realizes Damon is looking for Katherine so he can get the cure; she tells Elena Damon’s plan and the two girls team up to find the cure for their own purposes. Back in Mystic Falls, Stefan, Caroline, and Klaus go to Shane’s old office for clues as to what Silas’ plans might be and find a book about “Expression Triangles,” that explains there needs to be three sacrifices of twelve to complete Silas’ ritual. Bonnie meets twelve witches in the woods, and the witches perform the cleansing ritual to rid Bonnie from her Expression powers. Stefan, Klaus, Caroline find the witches based off of the book they found at Shane’s office. The witches demands they leave, but Stefan explains Bonnie is using them so she can complete Silas’ ritual. The witches determine Bonnie must die because the bond with Silas will never be broken. As they prepares to stab Bonnie, Caroline rushes in and kills all of the witches in the coven and thus completes Silas’ third sacrifice. Read our review

Episode 4:18- American Gothic

Elena and Rebekah track Katherine down to a small town in Pennsylvania. When they find Katherine, she tells them she plans to give the cure to Klaus in exchange for her freedom. It turns out Katherine has been working with Klaus’ brother, Elijah, and plans to be with him once this is all over. When Elijah learns that Katherine killed Jeremy, he stops trusting her. Katherine explains she has no reason to betray Elijah and gives him the cure to give to Klaus. In Mystic Falls, Klaus is stabbed by Silas then takes Caroline’s form and demands Klaus help Silas get the cure.
