This week on The Vampire Diaries (Season 4, Episode 19), Mystic Falls celebrates prom. Read Kidzworld’s recap of “Pictures of You”, which aired April 18th, 2013, to find out what you missed.
Nothing brings the Salvatore brothers together quite like a problem to do with Elena. Both Damon and Stefan agree that taking away Elena’s humanity was not the right decision – they want her to feel emotion again. They decide they will use the upcoming prom night to try to achieve this goal, so they both decide to go as her date.
Besties
Meanwhile, after last episode’s adventure Elena and Rebekah have become close friends. They are even shopping for prom dresses together! While out, they run into Caroline and Bonnie, who are also looking for the perfect dress. The girls have a standoff at the store and Bonnie and Caroline storm out. To make matters worse, Elena decides to buy the dress Caroline wanted!
The Challenge
Rebekah and Elijah hold up their end of the agreement to give Klaus the cure. Rebekah then pleads with her brother to let her have it, saying all she wants is to have a second chance at life. Klaus isn’t convinced. The brothers agree that if Rebekah can go a whole day as a human without using her vampire powers, they will consider giving the cure to her. Challenge accepted. But of course, nothing is ever simple. Silas disguises himself as Rebekah and takes the cure from Elijah before the real Rebekah can stop him.
Prom, Prom, Prom
Prom has finally arrived and Stefan and Damon are convinced the night will make Elena miss the relationships she used to have with her friends. The prom committee has set up a display of images that highlight all of the good times the students had together in the past. There is a flicker of hope in your eyes, but then she returns to the emotionless Elena we now know and hate. She resists even when the brothers try to remind her about the love (and passion) she once felt for them.
When the time comes to name a prom queen and prom king, Bonnie and Matt win! Unfortunately, Elena has it in her head that if she kills Bonnie, she will end the trouble with Silas. She lunges at Bonnie and causes huge drama. But, Bonnie retaliates, and since she is losing control of her powers, almost kills Elena. Wanting to take back control of her magic, Bonnie knows she has to find Silas. She uses a special cure to track him down, and finds him just before he is about to take the cure.
