This minisode breaks down our long-awaited trip to the motherland: Mystic Falls, VA aka Covington, GA. We share our favorite parts of the experience, what we saw, and, most importantly, the souvenirs we bought!

This week we get a close look at Damons personal hell, and dare we say the Phoenix Stone really went off! This personal hell has everything: a Groundhog Day-esque structure, the Civil War, fake escapes, the first time Damon killed someone, and of course, MOMMY ISSUES! Though we end the episode with him (seemingly) escaping, the bloodshed carries over from hell into the real world, and we get a pretty terrifying cliffhanger.

It’s Nora and Mary Louise’s anniversary! But not a big one, just 133. But big enough for Mary Louise to pop the question! To celebrate, Julian throws a logistically confusing party, while Lily, Valerie, Stefan, and Damon hatch a plan to kill Julian. It basically involves Valerie telling the truth and hoping the heretics believe her. Caroline picks the worst possible day to tell Stefan about her newfound babies, and he has one of the worst possible reactions. Elsewhere, Enzo has a day of highs and lows: he finally gets to kiss Lily (EW), but he also gets put back in a cage (by MATT).

We get a couple mommies this week but only one can be the dearest!Stefan and Damon try a new strategy in their plan to kill Julian, recruiting Lily. Seems like a bad plan at first, but turns out torture is effective. Meanwhile, Enzo tries his own plan to kill Julian, which is mostly just some juvenile silliness which also does not work. Finally, Caroline continues to be in denial that she has Ric’s babies inside her (us too girl!) but turns out that Gemini love for invisique starts young!

This week, our main event is basically if you ordered the Mikaelson ball off Shein, as Lily hosts a peace mixer for Julian, the characters we know, and a bunch of essentially hired extras. Stefan thinks it’s the perfect opportunity to kill Julian (to avenge his child that never was, Jacob), and Damon thinks they should wait a bit - and neither wants to compromise. Meanwhile, it’s highs and lows for Alaric as Fake Jo takes a turn for the worse, but his babies appear to be alive - in Caroline's womb! Lastly, the time jump has officially STOPPED being fun now that we know it involves an Alaric/Caroline engagement.

This episode starts with the best news we've had in weeks: Bonenzo confirmation! Unfortunately we get plenty of bullshit as Stefan and Damon spend the day with Valerie, and Stefan is decidedly NOT giving. Alaric watches over Jo while Bonnie aims to get some information from Oscar, but both of them soon learn they should not have trusted the Phoenix Stone. Lily finally hears from Valerie that Julian is evil, but why listen to reason when you can bring your boyfriend back from the dead? Finally, with a new reveal of just how rude Lily is, Damon decides her time for happiness is over and even Bonnie agrees.

It’s Halloween, and spooky activities abound: a haunted Mystic Falls Ghost Tour, Whitmore’s “Annual” Heaven and Hell Ball, and it’s Ric’s last day of paying off the dude who works at the morgue. As Nora and Mary Louise attempt a killing spree (but get distracted by their own drama), Damon enlists Ric and Bonnie to use the Phoenix Stone to bring back Oscar for his Elena-coffin hostage swap, after Valerie killed him. Oscar’s return brings violence but also a lot of solved problems, so they use the Phoenix Stone on their first-choice dead body: Jo. Lastly, we finally move Elena’s coffin somewhere else.

Damon, Ric, and Bonnie head down to Myrtle Beach to hunt down our last heretic, Oscar, to trade for Elena, and finally meet a heretic who is actually having fun! But that means bringing him back as leverage is more difficult than they anticipated. Oscar also reveals information about the Phoenix Stone, which Alaric decidedly did not destroy. Caroline remains held hostage at the Salvatore house, but now it is worse because she has to listen to Stefan and Valerie's "love" story straight from Valerie, who seems to have been obsessed ever since. Stefan meanwhile tells his mother about this hookup, and he of course took getting stood up personally. Valerie and Lily also reveal information about a mysterious member of their family, who certainly does not seem like a winner.

It’s a new day in the newly ghost town-ified Mystic Falls, and Stefan and Lily are both pissed at Damon for killing Malcolm - but he’s pretty cavalier about it until Elena’s coffin gets involved. Caroline is held captive by the heretics in the new Salvatore house, where she hangs out, gives fashion advice, and learns there may just be some history between Stefan and Valerie. Lily holds a funeral for Malcolm but doesn’t invite Enzo (who it turns out loves Lily as more than a mommy). The heretics sign the deed of the Salvatore house over to Matt, so naturally Bonnie has to stop his heart, clearly there’s no other possible solution. Finally, we learn more about this mysterious rock Alaric found - it’s called the Phoenix Stone, and it might bring Jo back or might be evil incarnate - who’s to say?
