"Brave New World" is the 2nd episode of the second season of The CW television series, The Vampire Diaries and the 24th episode of the series overall. It originally aired on September 16, 2010. The episode was written by Brian Young and directed by John Dahl.
Caroline (Candice Accola) wakes up in the hospital after Katherine (Nina Dobrev) killed her and she is hungry. She asks for food from the nurse but she sends her back to bed. Caroline smells blood from the next room and without knowing what is happening to her, she takes the blood bag to her room and starts drinking.
Bonnie (Kat Graham) and Elena prepare the school carnival and talk about Caroline. Elena doesn't want to talk about vampires or Damon (Ian Somerhalder) especially after he killed Jeremy (Steven R. McQueen). Meanwhile, Stefan (Paul Wesley) gives Jeremy a jewellery that contains vervain and explains him that it will protect him from compulsion. He also tells him how a vampire dies but asks him to forget about Damon and not try to revenge him.
Mrs. Lockwood (Susan Walters) calls Damon at her place to inform him that she will take over as Mayor now that her husband is dead, until someone else replaces him and she wants Damon to take the lead on the Council. Damon accepts her offer when Tyler (Michael Trevino) and Mason (Taylor Kinney) return home. Damon overhears what they say trying to figure out what they are but he only can learn about Tyler's strange anger issues.
Back in the hospital, Caroline discovers that her skin burns in the sunlight. Matt (Zach Roerig) shows up to visit her and tells her that she will get released from the hospital next morning. Caroline is terrified to have to go out during the day and tries to convince him that she has to be released that night. Matt notices her strange behavior especially when he tries to open the curtains and Caroline jumps to the other side of the room demanding him to close them. Matt leaves and Caroline continues drinking from the blood bag completing her transformation. She also discovers that the vervain necklace that Elena gave her, burns her skin and throws it away. The nurse, who enters at that moment, takes the necklace to give it back to her but Caroline attacks her and drinks from her, after she compels her.
