On this wild episode of The Vampire Diaries...

- Abby returned and showed her daughter how to conduct a dessication spell. It was meant for Alaric, who kidnapped Caroline and tried to convince Elena to kill her friend... but it ended up being used on Klaus after he proceeded to kidnap Elena and drain her blood for his hybrid army.

It worked, but not before Klaus said he turned Stefan and Damon's bloodline, which does appear to be the case based on how Stefan reacted when Klaus was being dessicated. But the episode ended with the brothers driving away with Klaus' body, supposedly to dump it in the ocean.

- It also ended with Alaric outing the mayor and the sheriff as have vampire children, while outing himself as a vampire.

- But the final scene was of Elena falling to the ground after clutching her neck. Why? Tune in for the finale!
