My interpretation of next week's episode…
STEFAN'S POV:
"I've found her." I announced to Damon as I walked into the house
"Where is she?" he questioned
"A motel just outside of town." I informed him "So, let's put our plan into action."
"What plan?" Elena inquired as she walked into the room "Do I have to remind you that last time we tried to flip her switch, Caroline went on a killing spree?"
"She's not gonna find out this time." I replied
"How can you be so sure of that?" she questioned "Caroline's already out of control as it is. This could send her over the edge, Stefan."
"Don't you think she's already there?" I asked "And that was my fault. On her own she's a loose cannon, so I'm gonna bring her back."
"Who's to say she's even gonna want to see you again?" she inquired
"Oh, she's gonna want to see him, alright…" Damon chuckled
"Shut up, Damon." I sighed, running my hands over my face "Can we just go?"
"Wait, did you and Caroline…?" Elena began
"Do it?" Damon questioned "Yep."
"Right, okay." she replied "Well I'll leave you two to your plan. Good luck."
"Wait," I proclaimed as she went to leave the room "I actually need to ask you something."
"What?" she asked
"Do you think you could get your hands on some of those herbs that you took to make you see Damon?" I questioned
"And what exactly are you gonna do with them if I do?" she inquired
"I'm gonna torture her until she breaks." I informed her "Don't look at me like that, Elena, it's the only way we're gonna get her back and you know it."
"How're you going to get them into her system though?" she asked
"I'm not gonna let her starve, so I'll crush them into her food." I replied "So, can you get me some or not?"
CAROLINE'S POV:
"Well, well, well, what took you so long?" I asked as I opened the motel door to Stefan
"I was a bit busy trying to be forced into turning my humanity back on." he replied
"Wait, it's still off?" I questioned
He nodded his head… "Damon thought seeing my Mom again would make it all flood back, and it did, for a second, but then I thought of you."
"Sweet," I chuckled "so, where're we headed?"
"I was thinking we could stay in, actually?" he suggested "Drinks, food, just us two."
"Boring!" I proclaimed, faking a yawn "But I guess I've killed enough people for one day."
He smirked at me… "Drink?"
"Vodka. Neat." I replied, throwing myself back onto the sofa
STEFAN'S POV:
I swallowed a lump in my throat as I pulled out the small bottle of vodka I'd had hidden in my pocket that had been mixed with vervain and poured into a glass for Caroline, pulling the other bottle out, pouring it into a glass for myself…
CAROLINE'S POV:
Taking the glass from Stefan as he moved over to me, I downed it in one, setting the glass down on the table, clutching onto my stomach…
"What's wrong?" Stefan asked
"I don't know." I admitted "Where did you get that vodka from?"
"Damon." he informed me "Why?"
"He's spiked it with vervain." I replied
"How can you be so sure?" he questioned
"I just am. Please, Stefan, don't drink yours." I begged
Watching him, he looked at the glass and then downed it in one, swallowing it before setting it down on the table too…
"Why isn't the same happening to you?" I asked
"No idea." he replied "How about I order us some food?"
Step one of Stefan's plan is complete – what's step two?
