Stefan invites Lily over so he can remind her that she is choosing a psychopath. He tells her that he got Valerie pregnant in 1863 and when Julian found out, he got rid of the baby. But Lily doesn’t buy it. Stefan pours her a drink and watches as she falls over from a glass of concentrated vervain. Lily wakes up tied up to a chair. Damon and Stefan compare Julian to their father.

Monsters

Giuseppe forced Damon to eat his pet turkey for Thanksgiving dinner. Damon also continues how after dinner, Giuseppe accused Damon of stealing money. It’s clear that Damon didn’t steal it, but he confessed in order to protect Stefan. His dad burned him with a cigar to the forearm.

Lily claims she knew Giuseppe was a monster and then her neck begins bleeding. She bounded herself to Julian. If he dies, she dies.

Stefan unties Lily so her neck wound can heal. She tells him she took the money to buy three train tickets so they could leave. She just wanted to protect her boys. Then she falls over with blood soaking her blouse. Damon has shoved the sword into Julian’s body even though he knows his mother is linked to him. Enzo didn’t know Lily was linked to Julian so he punches Damon but then Julian cracks Enzo’s neck.

Julian stabs Damon and Stefan arrives and cracks Julian’s neck. Julian runs to Lily saying Damon tried to kill him knowing it would kill him. Julian picks up the sword and leaves with Lily.

Bonnie does research and finds out that the sword is a weapon. It just needs one thing to possess the power against immortal foes–the phoenix stone.
