The Dinner Party

The Vampire Diaries - Season Two

The episode begins with Elena reading one of Jonathan Gilbert's journals. Jonathan recounts a night Stefan attacked him (Jonathan wore a ring to protect himself) and killed two of the Fells. After that Stefan tells her the whole story himself. When he first turned, he was brutal and inhuman until Lexi showed him the path of love and humanity after which he fought for his life. Stefan asks Elena the same, to fight for her life and not to give up. Damon invites Elijah over to the boardinghouse for a dinner party with the intent of killing him. Elijah warns Damon that if he has any "dishonarable intentions", he will kill him and everyone in the house. Jonathan Gilbert's journal reveals that if a vampire uses the dagger to kill an Original, both will die; it becomes clear that John helped Damon with the dagger so that he could also die with Elijah. Stefan calls to warn Damon and Alaric answers the phone. Alaric then writes on paper to Damon that the dagger will kill him if he uses it. While Elijah is seated at the dinner table, Alaric sneaks up behind him and stabs him with the dagger, killing him. They then drag his body to the basement, but later find that he is gone; Elena had read in the journal that the dagger must not be removed or the Original will come back to life. Elijah goes to Jonas and asks him to find Elena at the moment. Jonas seems to realize the witchcraft of Bonnie on his son, he goes to Elena's house where Jeremy was helping Bonnie to enhance her channeling ability. In anger, he takes away her powers and threatens her that "she'll answer to him if any harm comes to his son". John blackmails Alaric into giving him his ring back once Jenna starts asking Alaric questions about Isobel. Elijah shows up at the lake house telling Elena that the deal is off, and even though he has not been invited in, he's very patient and will wait them out. Elena tells Elijah that if they don't renegotiate, she'll stab herself with a knife, have Stefan give her his blood, and then kill herself like Katherine did, becoming a vampire and of no use to him. Elijah calls her out on a bluff, but Elena stabs herself, meaning she wasn't. Elijah gives his word to Elena and begs her to let him heal her. She staggers into Elijah's arms and stabs him with the dagger, killing him again. Damon moves from behind the wall and Stefan quickly rushes to Elena's aid. Elijah's body is dragged down to the basement like before. Elena tells both Damon and Stefan that she'll fight, but they need to start doing things her way to which they agree. Damon comes back to find Katherine in his shower. Elijah's compulsion on her has worn off with his death, and she says she's going to stay to help them.

In Rose's dream, she reminds Damon that he built a life for himself while she spent the last 500 years just existing. Rose asks Damon if she'll see her family again and he says he thinks she'll see whoever she wants to see. Rose says that would be nice and maybe she'll see Trevor, too. She tells Damon she's not afraid anymore. Hearing that she is not afraid anymore, Damon prepares to stake her. As Rose counts down to a race, Damon, while crying, stakes her, giving her a peaceful death. Damon admits to Elena that he knows she is his friend and that he does feel because he was supposed to have died.

By the Light of the Moon

As the full moon approaches, Caroline helps Tyler prepare for his painful transformation; she stays with him until forced to leave when he tries to attack her. In the tomb, Katherine taunts Stefan over his insecurities about Elena. In response to Katherine's insistence of her love for him, Stefan asks her to prove that there is some good in her, and she grudgingly advises him to ask Isobel, Elena's mother, for help in finding Klaus. Bonnie later seeks Luca's help to destroy the moonstone; they cast a spell that appears to work, but it is revealed that Luca tricked Bonnie when he hands the moonstone, still intact, over to his father on Elijah's orders. Jules, a friend of Mason's, arrives in Mystic Falls looking for him after Tyler leaves a message on Mason's voicemail. A suspicious Damon and Alaric try to trick her into having a drink mixed with wolfsbane; she is provoked into revealing she is a werewolf, and threateningly tells Damon he has been marked. Elijah, who reveals that he no longer works for Klaus, arrives at the house and makes a deal with Elena: she has to keep herself safe from Klaus (so that Elijah can eventually use her as bait to kill Klaus) and in return, Elijah will protect her friends and family and free Stefan from the tomb. As Stefan exits the tomb with Elijah, Katherine begs him not to leave her there, but he walks away and is happily reunited with Elena. Caroline reunites with Tyler, holding him as he cries about the trauma of the night before. He never got out of the enclosure. Damon and Rose talk at the Salvatore mansion; Jules, in wolf form, attacks them and bites Rose's shoulder. Though the wound appears to heal at first, Rose's shoulder becomes infected - a werewolf bite is fatal to a vampire.

The Sacrifice

The Vampire Diaries - Season Two

Stefan and Damon plot to get the moonstone from Katherine so they can lift the curse. Elena asks Rose to take her to Slater so they can learn more about Klaus and where to find him. Instead, they find Slater's staked corpse in his house. Elena uses information from his computer to get Klaus's attention, saying that she, the doppleganger, is willing to surrender. Rose protests, but Elena insists that surrendering is the only way to protect the people she loves from Klaus. Meanwhile, Caroline and Tyler discuss the approaching full moon and explore the underground tomb on the old Lockwood family property. They discover Mason's journal and the video diary that he had used to document his extremely painful transformations. Bonnie forms a plan to lift the spell from the tomb and temporarily incapacitate Katherine so that Stefan can quickly grab the moonstone, but Jeremy goes ahead with the plan by himself and is captured and fed on by Katherine. He manages to toss the moonstone out of the tomb. Stefan arrives and pushes Jeremy out safely, but is trapped in it himself. Later, Jeremy and Bonnie almost kiss. Damon arrives at Slater's house and tells Elena that he will not let her surrender to Klaus or put herself in danger. Three unnamed vampires confront Damon, Rose, and Elena. Elijah shows up killing one and Rose flees. The remaining two vampires want to take Elena to Klaus, but Elijah kills them too and leaves Damon and Elena unharmed. They return to Mystic Falls; Elena tries to run to Stefan in the tomb, but Damon restrains her. Stefan makes Damon promise to protect Elena, and he agrees.

Katrina

The Vampire Diaries - Season Two

The episode begins in Bulgaria in 1490 and shows Katherine, surrounded by her family, giving birth to a baby girl. She asks to hold the baby but her father says that Katherine has shamed their family enough and takes the baby away, leaving Katherine sobbing. Present day, Elena goes to the tomb, where she offers Katherine a bottle of blood in exchange for the truth - a dopplegänger from the Petrova line can be used to break the curse. Elena, as Katherine's descendant, is the current Petrova dopplegänger. Katherine reveals that she was kicked out of Bulgaria and fled to England; she assimilated into English society, where Elijah and Trevor found her. They recognized her as a Petrova dopplegänger and Elijah tried to kill her, but Trevor - who had fallen in love with her - helped her escape. She became a vampire so that she couldn't be used to break the curse. Katherine came back to Mystic Falls to offer Klaus what he needed to break the curse: the current dopplegänger (Elena), a witch (Bonnie), a werewolf (first Mason, then Tyler), a vampire (Caroline), and the moonstone. She hoped that in exchange, Klaus would spare her life. Meanwhile Bonnie meets a warlock named Luca and his father, and Jeremy is jealous of Bonnie's attraction to Luca. Damon and Rose go to get more information about Klaus from Rose's vampire friend, Slater, but they are overheard by a fully healed Elijah.

Elena overhears Rose and Trevor arguing about a vampire named Elijah and whether or not to go through with a plan. Using Jeremy's blood and a spell, Bonnie locates Elena, 300 miles away. Stefan and Damon set off to find her. At the house, Elena tries to get information out of Rose, who tells her Elijah is one of 'the original' vampires, and that she and Trevor are using Elena, a Petrova doppelganger and the key to breaking the curse, as a bargaining position. Trevor reveals that he is the one who helped Katherine escape the originals, and he and Rose have been running from the originals ever since. Elijah arrives, and Rose offers him Elena in exchange for their pardon. Elijah agrees, but kills Trevor, to Rose's grief. Elena tries to stall Elijah, saying she knows where the moonstone is, but he rips off her vervain necklace and compels her to tell him its and Katherine's location. Stefan and Damon arrive, fight with Elijah and stake him. Rose finds Stefan and tells him the originals will come for Elena, that they are doing it for Klaus.

Damon is the first to realize that Katherine has returned and is now impersonating Elena. At the Lockwood house, Bonnie meets Katherine and a short fight ensues; Stefan breaks it up.

Distraught, Damon goes to see Elena, who resists his attempt to kiss her. Angry that Elena also loves Stefan, Damon snaps Jeremy's neck to get back at her.

Season Two

The Vampire Diaries

The second season mainly focuses on the arrival of Elena's doppelganger Katherine Pierce and the reasons she returned to Mystic Falls. The second season also introduces werewolves. Tyler's Uncle, Mason Lockwood, reveals as a werewolf, arrives in the town after the death of his brother, Tyler's father, and tells Tyler about the so called "Lockwood curse" that has run in their family for centuries. He tells Tyler that in order to activate the curse, more specifically to activate the "werewolf" gene, the person must kill someone. Katherine turns Caroline into a vampire, after Caroline ingested Damon's blood to heal from the accident, so she can have a spy against Stefan and Elena, using Matt to scare Caroline into helping her. Tyler accidentally kills an innocent girl after Katherine compelled her to provoke him. Katherine's main reason for returning to Mystic Falls was to find the moonstone, with the help of Mason, who is later killed by Damon. Katherine falls back on Plan B and calls in a favor from a witch named Lucy to help her get the stone back from Stefan and Damon. Lucy casts a spell on Elena and Katherine, meaning that when Katherine is hurt, it also affects Elena. When Lucy finds out another Bennett is at the party and Katherine had deceived her, she puts a spell on the moonstone, injuring Katherine. Damon then leaves her in the original tomb, where he believes she belongs. She tells him the reason she hasn't killed Elena is because she is in danger and needs protection. Damon ignores her and leaves her in the tomb, thinking she's lying. Elena is later kidnapped, showing that Katherine had been telling the truth. Elena is held hostage by two 500-year-old vampires, Rose and Trevor, who have been on the run from the Originals-the first generation of vampires. Rose reveals to Elena that she is the Petrova doppelganger and needs to be sacrificed to break the sun and the moon curse. Katherine was also a Petrova doppelganger who used Trevor to help her escape from the Originals and Rose to turn her into a vampire to save herself. Elena is rescued by Stefan and Damon before Elijah, an Original, can take her away. Klaus, the oldest vampire in history, is now hunting for Elena. Klaus wants to break the curse before the werewolves can. Elijah has made a deal with Elena to continue living her life instead of trying to hand herself over to Klaus. That way, he will protect her loved ones because he wants to use Elena as bait so he can lure out Klaus and kill him. Elena agrees to do so, and gives Elijah one more condition: he must free Stefan from the tomb, and Elijah accepts. Jules, a friend of Mason, comes into town informing the Lockwoods he never came back to Florida and reports him as a missing person. Alaric is suspicious and calls Damon to the Grill. They try various methods to trick Jules into revealing if she is a werewolf or not, but Jules eventually reveals that she is indeed a werewolf, and could "sniff out" that Damon is a vampire and the wolfsbane Alaric put in her drink the whole time. Damon tells Jules she won't find Mason and to leave town. She tells Damon it's stupid of him to threaten her during a full moon and that he's been "marked." Later, Jules breaks into the Salvatore mansion in wolf form and attacks Damon, but Rose pushes him out of the way, getting bitten instead. As Rose succumbs to the effects of her wolf bite, Damon stakes her into a peaceful death, as Jules says a stake to the heart is the only cure. Uncle John's return to Mystic Falls comes as an unpleasant surprise to Elena, Damon, Jenna, and Alaric. John reveals to Damon that the only way to kill an Original is with a dagger dipped in white ash wood, which dates back to the Original's beginning. John is still working with Katherine and has a plan to get her out of the tomb. After being put under a hypnosis spell by Bonnie, Luka reveals that he and his dad are working for Elijah because Klaus has his sister and they want him dead as well. Luka says that Klaus will be weakened by the sacrificial ritual, meaning Elena has to die so Elijah can kill him and set his sister free. Stefan figures out that Elena knew about Elijah's plans for her, telling her she's being a martyr and not heroic. John gives Damon the dagger with the ash from the white oak so he can kill Elijah. Elena finds more of John Gilbert's journals and finds out that if a vampire uses the dagger, he will die as well. Stefan warns Damon in time and Alaric uses the dagger to stab Elijah, but he pulls the dagger back out, which means Elijah isn't really dead. He shows up at the cabin Elena and Stefan are staying at and tells Elena their deal is off. Elena threatens to turn herself into a vampire if Elijah doesn't honor their deal, but he doesn't believe her. She stabs herself in the stomach and Elijah panics and agrees to protect her friends and family and begs her to let him heal her. When she comes forward so he can give her some of his blood, she stabs him with the dagger and leaves it in him. Elijah's death means Katherine is no longer compelled to stay in the tomb and she returns to Damon and Stefan's house where she says she'll stay and help them take down Klaus.

Isobel

When Elena and Isobel finally meet, Isobel refuses to answer most of Elena's questions, but states that she is also looking for the mysterious invention that John Gilbert has been seeking. Upon learning that Damon has the device, Isobel orders Elena to obtain the device from Damon and threatens to kill everyone Elena knows if she refuses. It soon becomes apparent that both Isobel and John are working for Katherine. Isobel attempts to intimidate Damon into giving her the device and offers to reveal Katherine's whereabouts in return, but he makes it clear that he will not tolerate her threatening him or the people he cares about, and that he no longer wants anything to do with Katherine. Isobel later kidnaps Jeremy in order to force Elena's hand, and Elena implores Damon to give her the device, which he does. Bonnie offers to remove the spell from the device, which can supposedly kill vampires; it is later revealed that Bonnie only pretended to deactivate the device, due to her vendetta against all vampires. Elena gives the device to Isobel, who reveals that she knew Damon would surrender the device to Elena because he's in love with her.
