After being killed by Katherine, Caroline wakes up in transition and is immediately great at being a vampire in classic Caroline fashion. She completes the transition in record time, compels a nurse, and puts on a smokey eye so you know she’s really in her vamp era. While Caroline figures out how to get out of the hospital, Elena and Bonnie get the carnival ready and try to act like they’re just normal girls. Meanwhile, Mason and Tyler actually are just normal guys: they exercise, they exercise some more, and they talk about their anger issues—just boy things. Mason also tells Tyler he’s looking for a precious family heirloom: the moonstone. Later at the carnival, Damon and Stefan test whether the Lockwoods are zombies, werewolves, or ninja turtles. Caroline manages to break out of the hospital and pretty much immediately kills Bonnie’s carnival crush. Not related to the actual episode, Sarah calls out Rachel for totally flip-flopping on her takes, so definitely tune in for that.This week: Season 2 Episode 2 | Brave New World Hosted on Acast.
