We’re still on the island, and the group has become fractured in the final race for the cure. Damon is kidnapped by new Scottish hunter Vaughn, Elena Stefan and Rebekah team up by default (and splinter just as fast), and Shane kinda nailed having all the essential people on his side. But Shane somehow fumbles it all in the final stretch, all because he couldn't outrun rocks. In Mystic Falls, Caroline and Tyler learn Aramaic, and everyone learns that the cure may not fix all their problems after all. We get a Forwood breakup (yawn) and a Klaroline scene (giggle giggle). We finally meet Silas (in a way), and an old friend returns for - what else - also the cure. We end the episode on what seems like a pretty significant death - how will Stephanie cope??
