It’s Bonnie’s birthday this week! Which would be good news if she wasn’t still (yes STILL) stuck in the prison world. Elena and Damon plan to celebrate her birthday with cake, Caroline and Stefan attempt to save the real world Miss Cuddles from the forest where Caroline left here, and Bonnie has decided to make this her last birthday ever! With Kai’s help, and newfound empathy, Bonnie’s suicide plot doesn’t stay a secret and Jeremy attempts to give her a message of hope. Liv has decided the merge mess is totally Kai’s fault and should die, but she does as well in that ask Tyler did killing Klaus, with similar consequences. Meanwhile, Enzo builds his revenge plan centered on Sarah at Duke, and Matt is stuck helping out. Finally, with a sign sent to Bonnie, Delena finally hook up again, Steroline heats up, and Jeremy seems ready to head off to art school.

A lot of people sure do need some prayers this week! Liz is taken to the hospital after we learn that vampire blood doesn’t cure cancer after all - it makes it worse! Elena, who famously has been a pre-med student less than a year, does not hold back her medical and magical advice, even though she should. Kai proves useful to the debacle so Damon wakes him up - for the low low cost of a Liv/Luke merge. Liv, Luke, and Jo are not thrilled by this, but Joshua is fine! After some drama and shuffling, we actually do see a Gemini merge - not with a pair we expect, but it ends with a relatively expected casualty.

In this minisode we discuss the controversies surrounding Matt Davis, aka him being horrible and creepy. We may be Alaric fans but first and foremost we don't like xenophobic, Trump supporting predators!

Magic is flowing all over the place in and around Mystic Falls this week! With Kai full of magic courtesy of the travelers, he has to get a handle on all that power. Luckily, a vampire is perfect to test torture spells on. Meanwhile, Jo begins training for the merge, and while Liv and and Jo remain hopeful, pretty much everyone else is being realistic and sees the writing on the wall. But don’t worry, Luke has a plan to get out of the merge, he’ll just ask! In North Carolina, Caroline meets with a glioblastoma specialist and conducts an experiment while Stefan attends an art show crashed by none other than Enzo. The trip to Duke seems to provide the tools for Caroline to help her mom, but we end the episode feeling less than hopeful.

It’s Christmas in Mystic Falls, so this is a fun episode that won’t make you cry! Just kidding! Though we see flashbacks of happier Christmases, this one is tough: Bonnie is still in the Prison World, Liv and Luke are working with Kai to kidnap Jo, Matt wants to kill Enzo (and he’s being kinda weird about it), and to top it all off, Liz has terminal cancer! But on the plus side, the anti magic border is gone! Granted, that’s because Kai now has all that magic, but we needed a win. Also Stefan gives Damon a car! So that’s cute.

It's our first ever mini-sode! We discuss a listeners voice message and give our controversial opinion on Gilmore Girls. Enjoy, brothers!

It's a busy, Parker-centric week! Damon's compulsion of Alaric comes through and with the ascendant in hand, it seem like we are absolutely getting Bonnie back this week, right? Jeremy is not so optimistic. Liv helps Elena and Damon go to the prison world, but they do their favorite thing: dilly dally. The rest of the Parkers are worried going into the prison world will let Kai out, but no worries, he did that on his own! Meanwhile, Stefan uncovers the truth about Sarah, leading to fights with Enzo and Matt. Enzo is being drama, but Stephanie is here to defend him! No one is defending Matt though because he's showing he has less of a backbone than Trip. Trip! Finally, Kai takes time to recruit a potential new ally.

It’s Thanksgiving in Mystic Falls and in the Prison World! Caroline throws an eventful Friendsgiving at Whitmore, where we find out just how Kai, Jo, Liv, and Luke are connected. Meanwhile, Alaric, Damon, and Stefan head to Portland to look for the ascendant, and end up learning some information of their own. Over in the Prison World, Kai treats Bonnie to a thanksgiving dinner and promises to let her never see him again. But we also see a number of flashbacks that show us that we should definitely not trust Kai. Steroline Stans get crumbs, as usual.

Damon is back and Elena has to face her past, but man she does not want to! At the Whitmore Hospital fundraiser, Alaric and Jo enjoy a date, which ends in a clue about her past, and Elena and Liam go on a date, which ends in Liam wandering Scull Bar with a chardonnay. Damon and Elena attempt to bring her memories back, and we get to see a long awaited iconic kiss. Meanwhile, Stefan, Enzo, and Matt deal with Tripp, and Caroline is pulled in when Sheriff Forbes becomes collateral damage. Enzo takes the opportunity to slay of course, but not before completely blowing up Caroline's spot with Stefan, leading to a conversation Caroline hoped to avoid. Finally, Bonnie has her own slay in the prison world, and sends a sign of hope to present day Mystic Falls.

Damon is back and ready to dive right back into his perfect life - but there’s a number of issues in his way: he left his new BFF Bonnie behind, everyone let Alaric compel Elena’s memories away, and she won’t even see him! Plus, he learns firsthand about the new hunter. Enzo, realizing Tripp is getting less patient with him, threatens to expose the group which prompts a rescue mission. Elena tries to subtly learn what’s up with Jo, but Jo is a girlboss who’s about five steps ahead. Jo and Alaric have a bonding experience, Matt and Sarah snoop through Tripp’s office, and Jeremy has yet another emotional breakdown. But at the end, Damon and Elena finally look at each other - will it be enough to bring back her memories?
