If Loving You is Wrong, I Don't Want to be Right - Episode (3x14) Recap

*This week's recap will be a tad different, because I was too enthralled with all the pretty to take good note. Enjoy!

Preciously on The Vampire Diaries...

• Elena cries over Stefan.
• Damon wants what he can't have.
• Klaus plays musical coffins.

Mystic Falls Slasher

Matt and Elena leave the hospital after visiting Alaric? I don't know. I was too shocked that Matt had some real screen time to pay attention to the actual conversation. After Elena tries to leave, she hits something. Then this happens...

It was Elijah. He saves Elena from a vengeful Rebekah, and they the old friends have a gabfest. Elena reveals the details of the convo the next day to The Boys. *If you have to ask who I'm taking about you really shouldn't be reading this.

Elena gets an invite to Esther' ball, and the boys fight over who gets to go in Elena's place. Esther has asked to speak with Elena, and The Boys are afraid Elena is the main course. It could be dangerous for a Human Hybrid Maker in a den of Vamps? Who knew?

While the mailman is working overtime, the OG gang gets ready.

Tyler finally calls Caroline to let her know that he's alright, and offer condolences. Still trying to break his Sire Bond with Klaus. After Caroline listens to her voice mail, she gets a surprise from Klaus. A party invite, and a beautiful ball gown. Esther had prodded him to invite someone, so of course he picks his latest object of affection.

While Caroline and Elena discuss the evening's festivities, Rebekah makes her move on Matt. She decides to take him to the ball. Caroline isn't pleased. Despite having told The Boys that she wasn't going, Elena asks Care if she'll be her date. When will the guys learn that Elena doesn't like to be told what to do?

A Dance with Death

So after the boys arrive at the party, they see this:

After the dance, Elena tries to steal away to meet Esther but knows Damon won't let her so she asks Stefan for help. Stefan does the most shocking, awesome thing ever. He breaks his big bro's neck. Y'all know I love me some Damon, but honestly sometimes that boy just needs his butt whipped. 

Any who, Elijah doesn't trust his mom's attitude of forgive and forget, so he asks Elena if she'll fill him in on what Ester says to her. Cliff Note's version:

• Esther not only wants to kill Klaus, but all of her children.
• A drop of Elena's blood can be used in a spell to bind all the children together so Elena can Kill Klaus by staking one of the others.
• Esther is not a vamp, but basically a zombie.
• The Bennetts are decendent to Ayana, the OG witch.

Bex reveals to Kol that the only reason she invited Matt was to kill him. If she can't kill Elena, then she'll hurt her the best way possible. By killing someone she loves. Luckily, Matt is a sweetheart, and it saves his life.

After Esther prepares the spell, she puts Elena's blood in the champagne for the toast. Once all the OG kids drink, they'll be vulnerable. They do. Including this guy:

No one was happy about this. Not even Elena, but she didn't stop him. 

Klaus continues to try and woo Caroline, but she's not having it. Her heart still belongs to Ty. Caroline tells Klaus off in the best way, and I was afraid he would hurt her, but he doesn't. Throwing her bracelet at him, Caroline leaves.

After Bex tells Kol to leave Matt alone, he gets angry and decides to take care of Matt himself. Damon wakes from his forced slumber, and argues with Stefan. Stefan basically apologizes, but says that Damon's feeling for Elena are blinding him. After he leaves, Damon finds runs into Elena who tells him his love is a liability.

Then Damon sees Kol breaking Matt's hand, and does this:

Then he beats the ever-living daylights out of Kol which is reminiscent of season 1 Damon. Hip hip hooray! Since everyone is pissed off, Damon leaves. In fact, this kind of puts a damper on the whole evening. Stefan takes Elena home,and they have the best talk ever!

Esther and Finn (who's in on the mass murder plan) finish the spell binding everyone together. I guess Finn hates being a vampire as much as his father.

Rebekah goes to the Grill to apologize to Matt, but his hand is broken, he has no health care, and is not in a forging mood. This whole night proves he isn't ready for a supernatural girlfriend. Since Damon is already boozing it up, he serves Bex a shot. Then this happens:

Questions, Comments, Concerns:

• Rebekah: "You're pathetic. The both of you."
• Rebekah: "Careful, Caroline. It's all well and good before she stabs you in the back."
• Klaus: "Good evening!" Caroline: "I need a drink."
• Klaus: "You're a wonderful dancer." Caroline: "Well, I've had training. I'm Miss Mystic Falls." Klaus: "I know"
• Elena: :When we were together you used to let me make my own decisions. You trusted me. With everything that's happened, at least that hasn't changed."
• Stefan: "So Ester wants to kill her whole family. There goes the Mother of the Year award."
• Stefan: "I can't. If I let myself care, all I feel is pain."

That's all folks for this week's episode of The Vampire Diaries. No worries! I'll be back to my regular recap style next week once I can think straight. Episode 15 is titled, "All My Children," and from the promo it seems Elena's guilt gets the best of her, and leads her into danger. *facepalm* Check out the Short and Canadian Promos.
