Beyond the screen: Vampire Diaries

bad moon rising

Alaric arrives at Damon and Stefan's house. The pair, who are with Elena, reveal that they want to find out more about the Lockwood family and want to take a closer look at Isobel's research. Alaric reveals that Isobel investigated werewolves, but Damon is scornful. He points out that he has never seen any. "If werewolves exist, where the hell are they?" he asks. Alaric reveals that the documents are at Duke University.

Later, Elena is packing to go to Duke University and admits that she wishes Stefan was going, too. He asks if they should wait until Caroline is less dangerous so he can accompany her. Elena checks that he is happy for her to go with Damon and he says that he is because she has questions about her lineage and Katherine. "I hate it, but I love you," he says.

I sent Car with Enzo and I will make it seenlike Care compelled me and that she went with her friend Enzo some towns over.

Outside, Damon sarcastically says that he is sorry Stefan can't accompany them to Duke. Stefan ignores him and tells Elena to call him if she needs anything. "I'll take really good care of her," Damon says, but Elena kisses Stefan before leaving while Damon looks away. In the car, Damon claims that Elena's decision to hate him is getting a little silly, but Alaric points out that he did kill Jeremy. Damon points out that Jeremy came back to life and insists that he knew he was wearing the ring.

Elena, Damon and Alaric take a road trip to Duke University and search through Isobel's research on folklore and paranormal phenomena to see if they can uncover any clues to the mystery surrounding the Lockwood family. Isobel's former student, Vanessa, offers to guide them through the research and ends up getting quite an education herself.
Elena and Damon enter, and Elena explains that she is descended from Katherine. She adds that they need Vanessa's help to look through Isobel's research.

Later, Elena is disappointed that there is not much research about Katherine.

As they continue to look through the research, Elena becomes frustrated at the lack of information about Katherine. Meanwhile, Vanessa reveals that there is no record of werewolf myths in Mystic Falls, but shows them records of lesser known legends. She tells them about an Aztec curse, explaining that a shaman cursed werewolves and vampires so that they became slaves to the sun and the moon. She explains that vampires are the natural prey of werewolves, adding that according to legend, a werewolf bite is fatal to vampires.

Elena asks Vanessa if she has done any research on doppelgängers and is told that doppelgängers normally try to torment the people they look like. Elena admits that she wants to know why she looks exactly like Katherine, and Damon describes the problem as a "headscratcher". Elena asks if he knows something, and Damon replies that if he did he wouldn't tell her with that attitude, "Friends don't manipulate friends," Elena tells him. "They help each other."

Later, Alaric tells Vanessa that he trusts her not to say anything about his visit to anyone. Vanessa promises not to, explaining that Damon has already threatened her, but says they can always call if they need anything. Alaric warns that she doesn't want to get involved, and admits that Isobel became a vampire. He tells her that she won't be able to hate him forever and hands her a book with Petrova on the spine. He explains that Katherine came from Europe and her real name was Katerina Petrova. He asks Elena to let him know if she finds out anything and adds, "You have every right to hate me. I understand. You hated me before and we became friends. It would suck if that was gone forever. So is it? Have I lost you forever?" However, Elena merely thanks Damon for the book and gets into the car.

At home, Jenna is pouring some wine when Alaric arrives. He suddenly kisses her, adding,"I should have done that this morning." Outside, Damon claims that the trip was a success, but Elena tells him that it doesn't mean things are back to how they used to be. She asks him to tell her the truth about whether he knew Jeremy was wearing the ring. Damon admits that he didn't and apologizes, and Elena thanks him for telling the truth. She adds,"The answer to your question about our friendship is yes. You have lost me forever." Damon says she already knew that and accuses her of using him, but Elena defends herself and says she needed to know about Katherine. "I thought friends don't manipulate friends?" Damon replies. "You and Katherine have a lot more in common than just your looks."

Elsewhere , Tyler follows Mason as he heads into the woods for a run in the old Lockwood estate. He follows him into an underground chamber and spots some claw marks scratched into the wall. Later, he asks his mother about the estate, but when he questions her about the cellar, she refuses to talk about it. He is going to have some friends over to the swim hole. His mother warns him to be careful, as the family will be liable if anything happens.

At Caroline's house, Stefan found out that Caroline was gone from Allison. It seemed like she was compelled. He was stressing about Caroline's bloodlust.

At the swimming hole, Tyler spots Mason driving up and goes to see him. Mason orders Tyler to make sure that everyone has left the swimming hole by dark, claiming that someone could end up drunk or drowned. He says he doesn't want to ruin the party, but asks Tyler to take it elsewhere, and he agrees.

Stefan is still speaking to Elena, who asks him to be careful in the full moon and explains that legend says a werewolf bite can kill a vampire. Stefan looks surprised and says he has to go.

Meanwhile, Mason is chaining himself up in the cellar when he hears Aimee and Tyler coming into the underground rooms. He soon leaves, running through the woods with chains dangling from him. He tries to tie himself to a tree, but eventually clambers into his truck, groaning with pain. The car shakes as he begins to transform.

In the woods, Stefan is approaching Mason's truck when something flashes in front of him. He sees the chains attached to the tree and soon spots a wolf in the back of the car. The wolf suddenly breaks through the glass and runs through the woods.
Stefan reveals that there is a werewolf in the woods, and Tyler appears, asking what he was doing. However, they are interrupted when the wolf arrives and jumps onto Stefan. Stefan pushes it off, while Tyler shouts: "No!" The wolf stops and eventually runs away.

Stefan, who reveals that he has taken care of Tyler. He compels Tyler.

Meanwhile, Tyler is walking through the woods and discovers Mason's truck. He looks at the broken glass and discovers Mason's trousers. As he picks them up, Mason appears behind him naked and asks him for the clothes. "It was you," Tyler realizes, as Mason nods.

Later, Allison is asleep. When she wakes up, Katherine is in her bedroom. Katherine sits on the bed and tells Allison not to be frightened. "We're going to have so much fun together," she smiles.
