Recap

This episode begins with a couple camping in the woods. The boy tells his girlfriend that he has something for her but it's back in the car. There is a whoosh followed by the sound of dripping on top of their tent. She comes out to spot what she thinks is rain and sees that it is blood and not water. Following the path of the blood upward, she sees her boyfriend cradled in the tree branches with his neck ripped open. She screams and runs for the car. The doors are locked. She beats on them for a moment before she hears them unlock and pauses in disbelief. She is grabbed and dragged to the ground...

Episode Quotes
Elena: He didn't tell me he had a brother.
Damon: Well, Stefan's not one to brag.

Damon: Not bad. Have you been eating bunnies?

Stefan: What are you up to, Damon?
Damon: That's for me to know and you to - dot dot dot.

Caroline: I was hoping I'd see you again.
Damon: I know.
Caroline: Cocky much?
Damon: Very much.

Elena: This is your living room?
Damon: Living room, parlor... Southerby's auction

Stefan: How long was Elena here?
Damon: Were you worried Stefan? Afraid we might be doomed to repeat the past? Isn't that why you play your little game I'm a high school human?

Bonnie: I was talking to Gram, and she said that the comet is a sign of impending doom. The last time it pasted over Mystic Falls there was lots of death, so much blood and carnage it created a bed of paranormal activity
Caroline: Yeah, then you poured Grams another shot and she told you about the aliens

Elena: It's Ok Stefan, I get it. You have no idea how much i get it. Complicated brother? Check. Complicated Ex? Check. Too complicated to even contemplate dating? Check. We met and we talked and it was epic, but then the sun came up and reality set in.

Damon: (to Stefan)You have two choices. You can feed and make her forget or you can let her run screaming vampire through the town square.
Stefan: That's what this is about? You wanna expose me?
Damon: No! I want you to remember who you are!
Stefan: Why? So what, so I'll feed, so I'll kill, so I'll remember what it's like to be brothers again? You know what, let her go. Let her tell everyone that vampires have returned to Mystic Falls, let them chain me up and drive a stake through my heart, cause then at least I'll be free of you.
