The Vampire Diaries: Season 3, Episode 21 :: Before Sunset

May 04, 2012

This week on The Vampire Diaries (Season 3, Episode 21), Klaus, Damon and Stefan team up! Read Kidzworld’s recap of “Before Sunset”, which aired May 3, 2012, to discover what you missed.

Hostage

Stronger and more evil than ever, Alaric shows up at the high school and takes Caroline hostage. He calls Elena and tells her to come rescue her friend. Alaric wants to use Elena as bait for Klaus. Alaric thinks if he can get Klaus to the school, he can kill him with the white oak stake.

This turn of events has the surprising effect of bringing the Salvatore brothers and Klaus together. They all share the common goal of wanting to stop Alaric. They enlist Bonnie and Jeremy’s help to come up with a plan.

Spells

Bonnie says she wants to do a dangerous spell to channel extra power to Klaus, Damon and Stefan. But, in order to do this, she needs to stop a human heart. This means Jeremy. He says he knows the risk, but he needs to do this to save his sister. Thus the spell continues and the guys storm the school. But, Alaric is too powerful for them all. Just as he is about to kill Klaus, Elena begs him to stop. She says if he doesn’t save Klaus and the Salvatore brothers, she will kill herself. Turns out, Esther tied Alaric’s life to Elena’s, so he will only be alive as long as she is. Elena slits her own throat and blacks out.

Second Chances

When Elena wakes up, she finds she is tied up at Klaus’s house with her blood being drained. After finding out he can kill Alaric by killing Elena, Klaus wants to destroy her. Thankfully, Damon and Stefan show up just in time to save the day, again, and finally kill Klaus using the power from Bonnie’s spell. But, Alaric still can’t be stopped. He holds an emergency council meeting to find a way to destroy all vampires. Meanwhile, Elena isn’t doing as well as she thought. Just as the episode ends she collapses on the floor. Did Klaus have a negative effect on her when he was draining her blood?
