This week’s official recap: The show opens and they are still in Chicago. Klaus (Joseph Morgan) and Stefan (Paul Wesley) are shopping with Rebecca and Klaus is upset at her because she lost the necklace that he needs to find out why his hybrids are not working like he wants.
Katherine shows up outside the window and Stefan sees her and signals to him to come out. Stefen tells Katherine (Nina Dobrev) that if Klaus finds out she is there he will kill her. Katherine has figured out that Elena (Nina Dobrev) has the necklace that Klaus wants. She tells Stefan not get too cocky because Klaus is smarter than he is.
Back over with Damon (Ian Somerhalder), Alaric and Elena and they are making chilli for the Founders party. Over in Mystic Falls Jeremy is in bed and another one of his ghostly girlfriends, Anna is talking to him.
Caroline stops over at Elena’s house and so does Bonnie. Everyone is glad to see her even Jeremy. As he hugs Bonnie he sees Anna in the mirror. Damon is with Caroline’s mother Liz and she wants Damon to compel Caroline’s father Bill. Before he compels him he has to bite him to see if he has Vervain in his blood. He determines he has and then compels him to forget everything or at least he thinks he does.
Over with Klaus and Stefan they are back with Gloria (guest star Charmin Lee), a witch Klaus knew long ago, Gloria takes Rebecca’s hand; she is going to look for the necklace. All of a sudden Elena’s necklace burns her neck. Bonnie takes the necklace and it gives her a shock. Gloria’s spells reveal intriguing glimpses of the truth and Rebecca wants to know where the necklace is and what she saw. Gloria tells them she needs more space and time and asks them to leave.
Over at the founder day Bonnie heads over to see Caroline and Elena and tell them she may have found a spell to help them. All of a sudden Elena’s necklace starts rising and the girls ask what she is doing and Bonnie tells them that the necklace is doing it, it has magic.

Back with Gloria, Stefan shows up, she tells him she heard something interesting, when she saw the person with the necklace she heard them mention Stefan’s name. She did not tell Klaus because she does not like him. She wants the necklace for herself. Stefan tries to attack her and she puts a spell on him that causes him a lot of pain. She has put a paralysis spell on Stefan and sets him up on a table with candles all around and she is sticking things in Stefan to find out where the necklace is. Stefan vows to not tell him anything. She is draining the essence from Stefan to make a connection.

Damon says I could kill you. He tells Damon he knows he won’t kill the Mayor’s ex-husband. Damon tells him he is another person who has underestimated him and bites him. I bet this will have lasting consequences. Damon lets Bill go and Bill asks if he is going to kill him and Damon says NO I am just taking pleasure in these moments. Caroline walks in and throws Damon off Bill. She cuts her wrist and offers her father blood and he says NO. She grabs his head and tells him to grow up. Damon comes back and they fight and Elena comes in and steps between them. Damon tells her to stop trying to make him Stefan.

Over with Klaus and he has Stefan in a closed truck. Klaus wants to know what he has hidden from him, he opens the door of the truck and they are in Mystic Falls.
Yikes fantastic episode, I just realized the reason Elena got away so fast from Bonnie. It was Katherine as Elena so that means Katherine now has the necklace!
What did you think of the episode?
