Vampire Diaries S2 Episode 20 “The Last Day”– Original Airing: April 28, 201
Damon is lying in his bed, listening as Elijah, Elena, and Stefan speak in the living room about their plan to go after Klaus. Since the full moon is that night Elijah knows they can expect Klaus to seek to break the curse. Stefan asks Elijah about the curse since Elena had told him the sun and the moon curse is actually fake and the curse is only on Elijah. Elijah explains Klaus is a vampire born from a werewolf bloodline and the curse has kept his werewolf side dormant. But if Klaus breaks the curse he will be a hybrid. Damon walks in and asks (sarcastically) why they would be letting Klaus break in the curse in the first place then. He just thinks they should go after Klaus since they have Bonnie. Elena reminds him that Bonnie can’t use that much power or she’ll die. She tells Damon it’s not an option. Stefan asks Elijah how are they supposed to break the curse. Elijah tells him it’s pretty straight forward, they already know what the ingredients are: moonstone–a witch will channel the power of the full moon to release the spell that’s bound inside of the stone. After that Klaus being both werewolf and vampire will sacrifice one of each. Elena asks how does she fit into breaking the curse. Elijah explains she’ll find her part written in the ritual and pulls out a box. He tells Elena Klaus must drink the blood of the doppelganger until she dies. Stefan takes Elena’s hand. Elijah opens the box and pulls out a crystal bottle. He explains it’s an elixir he had gotten over five hundred years prior for Katrina. The elixir possesses mystical proprieties, having the ability to bring someone back from the dead. Damon scoffs at the idea: “That’s your plan?! A magical witch potion with no expiration date!” He turns and looks at Elena and tells her she can use John’s ring. Elijah explains the ring won’t work on Elena since she is a doppelganger and is a “supernatural occurrence.” Damon asks Elena what happens if the elixir doesn’t work. Elena: “Then I guess I’ll just be dead.” Damon looks at Stefan but Stefan just shrugs. Elena asks Elijah if he knows if Klaus has everything already prepared to break the curse. Elijah explains Klaus has been waiting over a thousand years to break the curse and if hasn’t already found a werewolf, he will be that night.
The scene switches to Tyler’s mother. She is on her phone leaving Tyler a message as she walks up the stairs in her house. She is asking him to return home, telling him she has been in an accident and needs him. Once she reaches the top of the stairs she looks up at the witch working for Klaus and asks why she had just said that. The witch looks at her and tells her it’s because she had a terrible fall, then throws her over the banister. Tyler’s mother smacks her head against the banister on the way down and crashes to the ground, unconscious.
The scene returns to Damon. He is standing outside drinking some type of alcohol. Stefan jokes it’s “the breakfast of champions.” Damon remarks he’s “surrounded by idiots” and needs all the help he can get. Stefan points out he isn‘t helping. Damon points out Elijah is an original vampire and one they tried to kill, does Stefan really believe him. Stefan becomes defensive and tells Damon what can he do, Elena already made her decision and wants to trust Elijah and he’s going to put his faith in her. Damon: “Why?! She’s gonna end up dead!” Stefan explains because Elena chose to trust him despite him being a vampire. Damon tells hi He also points out Elena chose to trust Damon too. Damon tells him then maybe Stefan shouldn’t be so sure about Elena’s instincts then. He finishes his drink and walks back into the house.
