These heretics are bringing up lots of questions.

Last week Bonnie and Damon did a sneak-attack kill on Heretic Malcolm.

They were so proud of themselves.Wewere proud of them.

But the fallout is wiping all that away.

The consequences are legion.

And its all because Damon broke a vase when he was so young he cant even remember.

And she never forgets or forgives anything.

Her first act of retaliation for Malcolms death was having Enzo scoop up Caroline last episode.

Even though its news to Stefan that Malcolm is dead, Lily doesnt care shes keeping Caroline.

tying up his lady love interest.

Nora and Mary Louise are right there to stop her.

Oh, and theyve pumped her full of vervain.

After leaving Lily, Stefan gets Damon up to speed on the situation and tells him to fix it.

The problem is said person is Matt Donovan.

They want to find supernatural beings, but supernatural beings find them.

Mary Louise and Nora come out to attack them; Matt tries to stop them and ends up unconscious.

Fast-forward to Bonnie telling him that he is now the owner of the Salvatore Boarding House.

Lily and Co. had put him as the deed owner that night and then compelled him to forget everything.

Bonnies brilliant idea is to stop Matts heart so Stefan and Damon can getintothe Salvatore house and get Carolineout.

This will go exactly as planned Im sure.

They also talk about the bouncy ball, which now has a name: the Phoenix Stone.

Bonnie does her voodoo with the stone and gets flashes of death and blood.

She tells Ric that the Phoenix Stone is evil, but he knew that already.

So lets flash back to the random porch where Bonnie has decided to stop Matts heart.

She sets her phone timer and does the deed.

It causes her to pass out.

Not good at all.

NEXT: Matt, you okay buddy?

Meanwhile Caroline is getting all kinds of torture from the most evil couple in the whole world.

Mary Louise says Nora is nervous about what to wear to Malcolms burial.

Caroline is supposed to give 21st-century fashion advice, but instead she just laughs at the old dress.

When Caroline wakes up, Stefan is there to save her.

Also, Damon has been distracting Enzo at the front door.

(Seriously, I gasped out loud while watching this part.)

AND THEN IT GETS WORSE.

I really hate you, Lily.

When he goes into the crypt and sees Elenas gone, he starts throwing a tantrum.

Then dear old mom comes up behind him and says he always had a bad temper.

And even when he was a kid, she could only break him by taking all of his toys.

Lily, this says more about you as a mother than Damons temper.

However, this works.

But Damon tells him that their dear mum has Elena.

And Lily is making Damon leave town for good.

They realize shes trying to take away everything that they love.

Come on, Bonnie.

Youre smarter than that.

Nothing good can come of this.

We learn that Enzo plays the guitar swoon and that he has romantical feelings for Lily.

You know who also has romantical feelings?

Nora shows this to Caroline, who is now very confused, as am I. Shes engaged to someone who knows about Mystic Falls, but that someone is not Stefan.

She actually never wants to hear the name Stefan again.

We barely knew you.

So many things to process.

And so many questions.

What is with the skin-carved Xs?

Where is Elenas body?

Who is the sixth heretic, or Crazy-tic in Damon-speak?

Whats the history between Valerie and Stefan?

And who is Carolines future fiance???

Until next week friends.

Stay away from witches on porches, Phoenix Stones, and ghost towns near college towns.
