The Reckoning RECAP

Episode 305 THE RECKONING was full of surprises and twists. So many so that I was laughing hysterically at some points from how much I couldn't have possibly guessed had happened.
Surprising moments of the night

1.  Klaus finds Elena VERY early on in the episode, capturing her and forcing her to watch all the tortous things he can manage. Including taking Stefan's humanity and forcing him to feed on her.
2. Katherine captured Jeremy and had him in the trunk of the car while her and Damon were driving around aimlessly waiting for Jeremy to wake up and contact Anna, the only other person besides Katherine Pearl ever told about Michael (the only person who can kill Klaus for good)
3. Bonnie is also found by Klaus and has 20 minutes to find a spell to make his hybrids work. Before Klaus kills Tyler. 
4. Matt drowns himself so that he can see Vicki and help Bonnie with her spell. So I guess he is a ghost seer now too since he also saw her again after his dream while unconsious.
5. Tyler was the first Hybrid created by Klaus that lived through the transition. 
6. Damon leaves Katherine with Jeremy to find a vampire and vampire hunter named Michael while he goes to save the day yet again. :) 
7. Damon vows to never leave Elena alone again, to always protect her
8. MY FAVORITE of the night, Damon is handing Elena back the necklace and having quite an emotional moment with her when Stefan walks in the door. Klaus has left him behind to watch Elena while he makes his army.
9. Elena is now under Stefans protection.
10. Elena doesnt have to be dead for the hybrids to work. Klaus justs needs her blood to complete the transition.
