Season 1 Episode 18

After feeding on human, Stefan has so much power and energy! He is training in his room. Damon try's to persuade Stefan to drink human blood again by using blood banks. Stefan isn’t listening to him; he claims to have everything under control. When Damon left, he leaves his cup of blood, but when he remembers about it he returns to take it away.

Jenna and Elena is about to leave home, when Elena’s uncle John shows up. He has some business in town and felt like coming to visit them all. Nobody is actually happy to see him.

Elena talks to Matt, he offers her moral support.

Jeremy and Tyler sit outside. Tyler offers Jeremy to smoke some weed, Jeremy refuses to do that. They don’t understand why Vicki was buried in woods. Police says that she had a drug over-dose. But whoever was with her hide her body.

The founding family members gather in the police office. They prefer to keep Vicki’s real reason of death a secret. Then John starts warning everyone that vampires are back – there have been too many deaths around Mystic Falls recently. Mayor Lockwood asks not to make alarm.

Alaric shows Elena Jeremy’s paper work – “Truth about vampires in Mystic Falls” and they both hope that he isn’t a believer. Elena is hiding the truth and lying to everyone to protect them because of her love for Stefan. Alaric doesn’t understand how Elena can date Stefan. He thinks that he’s a nice guy but he’s still a vampire.

John is trying to persuade Jeremy to go to the “Kick-off” founder’s day party. He also admits that Jenna is mean to him because they used to sleep together.

Elena worries, that Jeremy is out of Damon’s compulsion and may be remembering. Stefan tells Elena she should ask him why he wrote about vampires. She is upset because she can’t talk to Jeremy like she used to, because of all those secrets. Stefan tells Elena that he’s much better now. He had to stay away for only few days (to be sure, that he won’t hurt her) but they both already missed each other (awww…sweet!). They starts making out, suddenly Stefan’s face changes and it looks like he is about to attack her. He jumped off away from her.

Elena asked Damon to come over. He tells her about John in the council. He notices the mess at the place where Stefan fell jumping off from Elena. She’s worried about Stefan and asks for Damon’s advice. He thinks that Stefan has spent too much time by not being himself. He thinks that deep inside Stefan wants to be like him.

Elena asks Jeremy out for a talk. She tells him that she’s adopted. She also mentions his paper about vampires.

Damon and Stefan go to the party. Stefan goes to look for Elena.

Mayor talks to Kelly and Matt, he gives them moral support. Kelly leaves to get something to drink. Tyler gets something alcoholic for him and Matt.

Stefan meets Elena. He’s drunk and claims that drinking helps him to take the edge off. He asks Elena to dance, she is surprised. There was no one dancing, but then Stefan uses his mind compulsion to convince the DJ to play dance music. He dances with Kelly; Damon is surprised that Stefan looks like he is actually having fun. He says to Elena that Stefan will be ok eventually, one way or another.

Alaric meets Jenna and offers her a drink. Matt persuades Elena to dance. Damon compliments Sheriff Forbes, she needed that. Damon is happy about his life in Mystic Falls, but then the Sheriff tells him about John’s thoughts on the blood banks and the missing people. The council thinks they do actually have a problem again. Then Jeremy shows up and asks again about Vicki’s death. She can’t tell him anything more, the investigation is still ongoing.

Elena dances with Stefan, she hits John. He’s rude to Elena and that upsets Stefan. Stefan uses compulsion to make him apologize to her, but that makes Elena worry. He isn’t himself.

John meets Damon on the balcony. He tells him, that he knows about the tomb and thinks that Damon was the one who opened it. He also mentions, that he suspect Damon is a vampire. But John drank vervain all night, so compulsion won’t work. Damon walks away, than returns; he snaps John’s neck and throws him off the balcony (that shocked me so much!).

Elena talks to Jeremy about his conversation with the sheriff. He thinks that someone killed Vicki and buried her body. Elena mentions, that she thinks that too. She lies and says that if she knew anything, she would tell him.

Kelly had a nice talk with Tyler. They both can trust each other. Tyler is sorry about his behavior to Vicki.

Elena and Matt go out for some air and sees Tyler kissing with Kelly. Tyler and Matt start fighting, Matt’s badly hurt, and he’s bleeding. Alaric stops the fight. Kelly was injured too, but she already left.

Damon tells Stefan that he killed John. He tries to follow Damon, but smells and hears Kelly. He touches her injury, and runs away. He goes outside and licks his bloody fingers (yuck!).

Damon is still at the party and he sees John walking around safe and alive! John says the speech for the 150th birthday of Mystic Falls and rings the bell. Damon talks to Alaric. They notice that John has the same ring that Alaric and realize that it must have protected him. Damon thinks that Elena’s father may have had the rings made and gave one to Isobel and one to John.

Stefan leaves the party. One man stands in his way and tries to start a fight with him.  Stefan asks the man to leave him alone. He doesn’t. Stefan caches up his fist and squeezes it. His face changes, but he isn’t attacking.

Jeremy comes home and searches for something in Elena’s room. He finds her diary and reads it. He reads a lines like “Bodies drained of blood”; “Take away Jeremy's pain” and”Vicki's a monster?”…

Mayor Lockwood orders Tyler not to embarrass his family again and slaps his face.

Matt packs Kellie's thing up and asks her to leave the house. He’s better without her.

John teases Alaric and Damon – he isn’t answering any questions, he knows something about Katherine and Isobel. And, if Damon or Stefan ever tries to kill him again, he will tell everything to the council.

Stefan scares Elena in her room. He promised to tell her everything, and so he does. He told her about his urge to feed on human, but she isn’t afraid of him, of his dark side, she promises to help him get through it. (And then there’s a huge hug and wonderful “I love you so much” …)

Stefan walks down to Damon. He tells Stefan about the “John” problem. He also sees Stefan's hunger and encourages him to drink blood and leaves his glass of human blood. Stefan can’t resist himself and drinks the blood.

Well, what’s going to be next? Will Stefan fight his urge? Will John tell everyone about Stefan and Damon? What’s going to happen with Jeremy? Find it out on next week’s episode.
