Courtesy of KryptonSite: the official network description for Brave New World, the second episode of Vampire Diaries Season 2. Highlight for (definite!) spoilers or check it out in the Episode Index (which we are so happy to be updating again!). The episode was directed by John Dahl (who directed Friday Night Bites from Season 1) and written by Brian Young.

THE CARNIVAL FROM HELL — When a confused and desperate Caroline (Candice Accola) leaves the hospital and joins her friends at the Mystic Falls Carnival, Damon (Ian Somerhalder) wants to take immediate action, but Stefan (Paul Wesley) and Elena (Nina Dobrev) come to Caroline’s defense. Matt (Zach Roerig) is completely mystified by Caroline’s behavior, but still tries to tell her about his feelings for her. Damon has suspicions about Tyler’s Uncle Mason (guest star Taylor Kinney) and uses Tyler’s (Michael Trevino) volatile personality in an attempt to get Mason to reveal his secret. Upset with everything going on around her, Bonnie (Katerina Graham) takes her anger out on Damon. Steven R. McQueen also stars. John Dahl directed the episode written by Brian Young (#202).

    Wonder what’s wrong with poor Caroline? A Katherine related incident maybe?

  • Sarah

    Yeaaaaah :D I love Caroline, but still, I’m happy that Damon didn’t became a good guy :D
    And, question… where’s Kath?

  • Jessica

    I think maybe Katherine has done/does something with Caroline and Damon is the first one to notice something. I hope Katherine kicks Bonnie’s ass in the first episode.

    What’s with Caroline?
    Can’t wait for season 2!!!

    Maybe Caroline remembers how Damon used and tortured her. Looking forward to Bonnie’s kickass powers. Can’t wait to see Mason. yum yum

  • rehabber

    I thought maybe Caroline was dying and someone turned her, that would sure confuse her.

  • Starry Dawn

    Maybe Caroline remembers how Damon used and tortured her. Looking forward to Bonnie’s kickass powers. Can’t wait to see Mason. yum yum 

    That’s exactly what I thought as well, that all of Damon’s mind-wiping is finally taking a toll and that Caroline, for some reason, is starting to remember all the crazy things he made her forget. It would explain why Damon seems to want to go after her, and why Elena and Stefan would come to her defense, and also why Matt would be confused with her sudden change in demeanor.

    I agree. I forget which episode it was. Caroline called Damon dungeon boy, so she obviously remembered something. So maybe because of the accident she’ll have dreams while in the hospital and when she wakes up she will remember how Damon used her,and tried to kill her. Really looking forward to Mason Lockwood, he is HOTTT. Cannot wait to see Bonnie take people down a few notches. She is gorgeous!! Really hope for a romance between Bonnie and Damon. She’d keep him on his toes.

    I HATE Bonnie. She just needs to leave Damon alone. Give him a freakin break already! Geez. And Bamon shippers? It’s obviously never going to happen. Julie plec basically confirmed that there will never be a Bamon. Thank god, there’s absolutely no chemistry between the two. Unlike Damon and Elena, who burn up the screen. And they’re not even together. Delena. Because Damon needs someone to pick him, just this once.

  • Ashley

    I wonder what’s up with Caroline? I cannot wait! It’s probably a katherine thing. has to be. And i hope that katherine and bonnie both kick each others asses! Cause we all know that bonnie is gonna be a powerful supernatural and katherine is old as hell. It would be nice to see a battle of domination going on with them. And as for the bamon thing. Plec never said that there would be nothing. She said they wouldn’t be anytime soon. major difference.

  • GA Peach

    Sounds like Katherine does a mind compulsion on Caroline and Damon realizes something is wrong and wants to take action. As usual, Stefan goes against Damon and Elena sides w/Stefan. They both dismiss Damon’s warning & advice. Probably will end up w/Damon having to save everyone’s ass yet again.

    Bonnie needs to cool it with her threats to the Salvatore brothers. Hopefully she will not do anything that will actually injure Damon. The brothers will not want to hurt Bonnie because of Elena, but if she continues down this path of threats, they may not have a choice. I am really not liking Bonnie right now. Think about it. Because of her lie & deceit to Elena regarding the spell on the “invention” a chain reaction of events took place: Carolina was seriously injured, Anna died, Mayor Lockwood died, Damon almost died, Stefan could have died in the fire trying to save Damon and Elena would have followed Stefan to her death. Bonnie putting out the fire DID NOT redeem her . She has a long way to go before Elena will trust her again. Damon will NEVER trust Bonnie again. Any friendship between Bonnie and Damon that was gained is now over.

    I am guessing Katherine will be immune to Bonnie’s witchy spells. Katherine has a witch of her own. I am saying this because of the necklace Katherine gave to Isobel, which had a spell like the Salvatore rings. Isobel was able to walk in the daylight.

    Damon will be relentless in his quest to find out why Mayor Lockwood was affected by the “invention”. Poor Tyler! He is going to have a very very rocky road ahead. Mason Lockwood and Damon Salvatore are going to be mortal enemies.

    Why are some of you guys mad at Bonnie?! I love Damon but I also know he is evil and he kills people. Damon almost “KILLED” Bonnie so she has all the reason in the world to hate Damon.

  • Jessica

    Because she did destroy the one thing that would bring the ” love of his life” back. He is a vampire, ofcourse he reacted the way he did. She destroyed the one thing he had been waiting for all those 145 years. I would have been more happy if she just died there. She makes me sick.

    god, why does everyone think Damon is the villian? He’s nowhere near it. It’s katherine’s fault that he is they way he is. He did evil out of love, trying to get to Katherine. Plus, in the last half of season 1, he did more good than anyone else there. If you think Damon is evil, you might need to take a closer look. He was heartbroken. Misery is pretty much all he’s ever known. He has more of a heart than Stefan, and it’s been broken over and over. It’s gutwrenching. Team Damon. Because we bother to look past the facade.

    Wow…. incase you have forgotten, that was Emily inside of Bonnie that destroyed that. You don’t have to be mad at her about that. And everything she has done was to keep the town safe, which is pretty much her only family now. Because it seems her parents are pretty distant. It’s not all about Damon….(Even though i love him soooo much lol)

  • pam

    OMG… my friends and I love Bonnie. Whats with the negative? I love Damon, but come on. He has killed,used,tortured,treated people for his own pleasure,etc… Why so hard on Bonnie, just because she is a strong female who doesn’t take crap. Don’t forget it all started because Damon wanted the tomb open to hell with who gets killed or used. Gimme a brake Bonnie is strong and cannot wait to see he kick ass. Then, it would be great that because Damon and Bonnie hate each other so much the sexual chemistry will explode and they’ll have one hot and smokin romance. Love Damon and Bonnie as a couple.

    Agree!!! Sucks that Bonnie is getting all the hate when she hasn’t really done anything except trying to keep the town safe. Bonnie is me and my friends favorite character in the show…female character atleast lol.

    Sounds great. We think that Caroline is going to remember everything Damon did to her. Cannot wait to see Mason in action. Looking forward to seeing Bonnie and her witch powers. More pictures would be great.

    Bonnie is boring! You want a strong female character? We already have Katherine who is back and ready to kick some ass. Damon is a vampire, they do kill humans. Bad boy’s arent nice. They are fun and make their own rules. I don’t want no goody selfish witch turn him into some edward cullen. And no, i don’t like seeing my favorite character getting kicked around, unless its Katherine because she is evil and thats just fun. Bonnie is… not.

  • midnightblack07

    Did I mention how excited I am for the new season?? Did I?? Did I?!?! LOL
    With regards to Caroline, I’m placing my money on her having some recollection of the less than pleasant things Damon did to her :/

  • amanda

    I think that Caroline will have dreams about how Damon used and abused her and she will remember them and freak out on him. Damon will want to kill her and Elena and Stefan will protect her. Bonnie will find out and regret helping him and want to kick his butt. As for Mason, can’t wait to see the sexy werewolf.

    If Damon actually wanted to kill Bonnie, he would have. Remember the pendant belonged to Damon. Emily gave it to him back in 1864 so he could get Katherine out of the tomb around the next celestial event (Night of the Comet). Who knew back then it would take 145 years. Damon used Caroline to get into the Lockwood Mansion in order to get to the original Salvatore belongings, which is where he had hidden the pendant. The pendant slipped out of Damon’s pocket after he was “drugged” w/Vervain by Stefan. Caroline found it and gave it to Bonnie. The pendant was not Bonnie’s to keep. It belonged to Damon. Emily’s spirit, however, had a change of heart and possessed Bonnie in order to destroy the pendant and keep the vampires in the tomb. THIS WAS NOT Bonnie’s fault. POOR Damon! He can’t trust anybody!

    The anger at Bonnie now is because of her lie & deceit to Elena regarding the spell on the “device”. Because of Bonnie a chain reaction of events took place: Carolina was seriously injured, Anna died, Mayor Lockwood died, Damon almost died, Stefan could have died in the fire trying to save Damon and Elena would have followed Stefan to her death. Bonnie putting out the fire DID NOT redeem her . She has a long way to go before Elena will trust her again. Damon will NEVER trust Bonnie again. Any friendship between Bonnie and Damon that was gained is now over.

  • allie

    sounds like caroline was turned and is suffering the after affects like vicky was. maybe she had vamp blood in her system then got into the accident and died then came back… just like vicky. just a theory.

  • Kat

    @GA Peach- can u please do us all a favor and jump out of elena’s ass. thanks. elena is not going to say ANYTHING about bonnie’s “deceit” because elena is a lying manipulative bitch and a worse friend than bonnie is. let’s take a look at the facts shall we-

    -bonnie tells elena she is a witch, but when bonnie asks elena to tell her what is going on, elena lies to her. How sweet.
    -bonnie tells elena she is sorry for not being there for her when she needed her the most. But when bonnie’s grams dies, and bonnie needs elena the most, elena chooses to be with stefan over her best friend of 15 years.
    -bonnie gets her neck ripped open by damon, and when bonnie almost dies, THAT is when elena FINALLY decides to tell bonnie the TRUTH, but of course, not before turning the situation around to make it about HER as she usually always does. Stefan breaks up with her again, and elena is crying and even though her best friend almost dies, it is STILL bonnie who had to be the one to comfort elena and hug elena after her 10th breakup with stefan. Ummmm it’s not about you bitch….. how about trying to care about your friend that almost died because of you.
    -bonnie gets kidnapped by ben and anna and when elena finds her passed out in the bathroom of the hotel is when elena FINALLY decides once again to tell bonnie the truth, that they need a witch to open the tomb…… hmmmmm how about telling bonnie that a little sooner elena darling so that bonnie could of had a better chance to defend herself
    -after everything that damon did to caroline, elena could care less and does not even defend caroline when damon makes a joke about having fun with the mystic queen……… wow some friend u r elena
    -after bonnie’s grams died and she is having a hard time, elena doesnt try to make things right with bonnie and be there for her best friend. But she had no problem being with stefan who was the cause of the strife between her and her best friend. Way to choose sides elena. U r a tremendous friend. But when elena is crying because of isobel she expects bonnie to come comfort her (which of course bonnie being the good person that she is, does comfort her). Elena had no problem whatsoever leaving bonnie alone after her grams died, but when elena sheds one tiny tear about isoblel, bonnie comforts elena…. ahhhh go back to kindergarten elena where they taught you the golden rule.
    -elena is a fucking hypocrite. She took away jeremy’s memory and right after tells stefan that she wishes someone could do the same for her but that she wouldn’t want that because she cannot lose the way she feels about stefan. Ummmm i’m sorry elena, r u not so bright? Did u not think that jeremy deserved the same consideration about vicki? What gave u the right to make that choice for him?
    -elena knows that vicki is dead and she lies straight to matt’s face and she still has yet to tell him the truth. And yet, she has the nerve to try and comfort matt. What a manipulative bitch. I really dont think matt would of wanted ur hug had he known that u knew the fate of his sister this entire time.

    -elena does not even say anything at all to damon about what he did to bonnie. She has no problem going on a roadtrip with him even though he almost killed her best friend. She forgets every bad thing that damon has ever done. In fact, elena is a better friend to damon than she is to bonnie or caroline.

    -elena gets mad at stefan for defending damon after she finds out that damon was the one who killed isobel but elena was allowed to beg lee to not kill damon after he killed lexi? Hmmmm that might have something to do with the hypocrite thing i mentioned earlier. When it affects elena, it matters to her, but when it affects someone else, she doesnt care.

    -Elena says that she lies to the ppl she loves to protect them and keep them safe but when it’s reversed and Stefan lies to Elena, she runs away with Damon for a day and avoids Stefan’s phonecalls and acts like Stefan belongs in jail for lying to her. And how about when stefan lied to elena about not drinking human blood. How did elena react to that? Hmmm might be that hypocrite thing again.

    -When Bonnie comes back after her grams dies, Elena begs Bonnie to “tell her what she can do” to make things better, to fix things. Bonnie is GREIVING Elena…… u can’t just fix things like that. You are so used to having everyone wrapped around your finger that you think Bonnie should easily get over it and focus on YOU again. Friendships can’t be one-sided like that. BE THERE for Bonnie like Bonnie was there for YOU. She’s not gonna spell it out for you. Be a FRIEND and comfort her.
    -Bonnie sees Stefan sucking the blood from Amber and stops him and lies to the sherriff about not seeing anything even though she so clearly didn’t want to because she doesn’t like the vampires and blames herself for the tomb vampires being out. Bonnie is near tears and Elena begs Bonnie once again to “talk to her”………….. am i missing something here? bonnie ALREADY talked to you, elena. R u retarded?! She already told u how she is feeling and you made your choice. U made it pretty obvious that you dont care so leave her alone and give her the TIME that she needs.

    -Bonnie tells Elena to leave her alone when she is grieving and elena “respects her wishes” but when it was Stefan locked in the boardinghouse basement and Stefan tells elena to leave him alone, Elena refuses to do so and risks her life telling stefan “NO!” it’s amazing how she can be THAT persistant with her boyfriend of a few months but with her best friend of 15+ years she can care less….. what a greattttt best friend.

    i can not believe how some of u r justifying damon’s actions. he has no justification and i’m saying this as a person who loves him. NOOOO!!!! him doing it for “love” does not justify killing someone okay?!?! jeez what the hell is wrong with humanity these days………….

  • Kat

    @ga peach- did u really just say “poor Damon”? R u out of ur mind?! Damon is a grown man responsible for his OWN actions. I’m not saying he’s a monster. God knows I love him. But I don’t worship him like u do. He does some terrible things that he needs to take responsibility for and that’s why I at least respect bonnie because she is he only person in the show to stand up to Damon and for what she believes in. U…… Have…… Issues…………
