To pretend like everything is normal, Caroline forces everyone to participate in senior prank night, but the night immediately takes a turn when Klaus arrives. Desperate to make a hybrid, Klaus feeds Tyler his blood, snaps his neck, gives Bonnie twenty minutes to figure out how to save him, and compels Stefan to feed on Elena when the clock runs out. Stefan fights the compulsion, but Klaus decides Stefan’s humanity is holding him back, and compels him to turn it off. While Stefan’s life is being ruined, Vicki tries to send Matt a message from the Other Side. Matt and Bonnie then realize they need Jeremy to talk to her. Unfortunately, Jeremy spent all day in the trunk of a car after being kidnapped by Katherine to figure out how to find Mikael. With Jeremy gone, Matt decides to take matters into his own hands and drowns himself to talk to his sister, who tells him the Original Witch said Elena has to die. Klaus instead decides to feed Elena’s blood to Tyler, creating his first successful hybrid.This week: Season 3 Episode 5 | The ReckoningNext Episode will be on July 11th! Hosted on Acast.
