(At least she gives you ice cream before she hands you over to the devil, right?)

Oh yeah, thats her plan by the way.

(Also, how long did she think theyd need a nanny?)

Meanwhile, inside, Caroline is telling Stefan hes not coming with them on their rescue mission.

And that means Stefan cant come.

Furthermore, Caroline gives him his ring back.

As she puts it, Until this is all over, there is no us.

There is only me and my kids and their father.

With that, Stefan stays behind with Matt to work the tip line.

And thats Stefans first clue!

Only, by the time Caroline and Ric get to the diner, the girls are already gone.

(Why did Damon get shotgun if Sybil can control him?)

And considering how much the girls trust Seline, she doesnt think it will be hard to persuade them.

And no, hes not looking to relive his glory days next to theice machine.

Instead, he wants to summon Cade.

Well, Damons offer, really.

NEXT: A deal with the devil

What is that deal, you ask?

Oh, nothing major.

But for Stefan, the deal means one thing: Lizzie and Josie are safe from becoming Cades servants.

But as for the part about leaving town, she thinks they should.

Right now, darkness does follow her.

So, she tells him to take them someplace safe.

Take them away from me, she says, before heading outside for more sadness.

I gave Damon what he promised me, Stefan tells her.

An eternity of misery.

As for Cades former servants, it seems Sybil finally got her payback.

As Sybil puts it, The games not over yet.

The one bit of good news from all of this?

Bonnie and Enzo are all kinds of adorable.

And now, hes been rewarded with Bonnie Bennett, his whole damn world.

Okay, now back to the bad stuff.

At the Mystic Grill, Matt and Ric shoot Damon … multiple times.

Of all people, RIC is the one to finally kill Damon??

That bromance is so near and dear to my heart that I do not like this.

I know Ric is upset, but I repeat: I dont like this at all.

(And lets not pretend Ric cared about Tyler THAT much.)
