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?
