The Vampire Diaries 6X4: Black Hole Sun
Added 2025-09-09 19:00:05 +0000 UTCBack in the present, Stefan wants to leave Mystic Falls to continue his life, but Elena wants him to prove to her that he is indeed happy and then she will accept his decision. While sitting in a snack/bar, Stefan proposes to her in front of everyone, showing her how they can get new identities and new lives and start over. When Elena leaves, Stefan gets into a fight with a guy letting him beat him up. Elena comes back to take her jacket and stops the fight, compels the guy and sends him home. When she tells Stefan that she does not agree with his coping methods and asks for explanations, Stefan tell her that everyone has their own to move on. He tells her what she asked Alaric (Matthew Davis) to do and that she removed all her good memories about Damon just because she could not handle his death. Elena does not want to believe him and when she gets home, she asks Alaric if it is true. Alaric gives her a diary of hers where she wrote everything about her decision and when he asks her if she want her memories back, she tells him no.
In the past, Bonnie and Damon discover that Kai killed several of his younger brothers and sisters and that’s why he is trapped with them. It is a jail that his family, a coven of witches, created for him. He himself doesn’t have magic, but he has the ability to siphon magic from other witches, at least temporarily. He knows how they can escape using Bonnie’s magic. Bonnie doesn’t want to let Kai back into their world because he will kill more of his family. But he threatens to steal all of her magic and kill her if she doesn’t bring him back as well. Damon just wants to get back.
Under pressure from Kai, Damon finally tells the story of why the day of the eclipse was so horrible for him. In flashbacks, we see that he had come back to visit Stefan, tried to live a less murderous life, but ended up killing all of the boarders in the Salvatore house, including Sarah’s mother, who was the pregnant girlfriend of Zach Salvatore, the human who owned the Salvatore family home at this time.
Back in the present, Matt (Zach Roerig) decides to probe Tripp (Colin Ferguson) to find out how much he knows about vampires. When Matt tells him that Jay (Matthew Barnes) told him before he died that he was tracking a vampire, Tripp decides to trust him and tells him all he knows while leading him to the place where he keeps Enzo (Michael Malarkey). He says that Enzo was the one who killed Jay but he wants to make him talk and reveal where his other vampire friends are before he kills him.
Jeremy (Steven R. McQueen) returns to the Salvatore house and finds Sarah (Gabrielle Walsh) there. Sarah tells him that she knows about his vampire sister and she also shows him a picture she found in the house of her parents. Sarah asks for explanations and if he knows them. Jeremy recognizes Zach in the picture and tells her that her father is Zach Salvatore. Sarah explains that her mother was killed while she was pregnant and at first, they thought the baby was going to die too, but the doctor did an emergency C-section. She had to stay in an incubator for three months, but she survived. The hospital didn’t know who her father was. (Stefan had compelled Zach to forget all about his girlfriend and the baby, so he never stepped forward to claim her.)
