"Death and the Maiden" is the seventh episode of the fifth season of the American series The Vampire Diaries and the series' 96th episode overall. "Death and the Maiden" was originally aired on November 14, 2013, on The CW. The episode was written by Rebecca Sonnenshine and directed by Leslie Libman.
Silas (Paul Wesley) heads back to Mystic Falls to find Amara (Nina Dobrev). He no longer plans to help Damon (Ian Somerhalder) bring Bonnie (Kat Graham) back to life after Amara attacked him. All he wants is to find her and kill her to destroy the Other Side and then kill himself so they can be together forever in the afterlife.
Amara is kept at the Salvatore house’s basement where they all try to keep her alive and safe. Jeremy (Steven R. McQueen) brings her some food and Bonnie's spirit is also there. Jeremy and Bonnie are very surprised to discover that Amara can see and feel Bonnie and after this they have the idea of Bonnie taking the place of Amara as the anchor. They share this with Damon and Elena who agree to try it, only that they need a witch to perform the spell so Damon heads to Qetsiyah's to make a deal with her.
Qetsiyah (Janina Gavankar) agrees to help them since with that switch, Amara will die and the Other Side will remain existent so she can be there with Silas for the rest of time. To perform the spell she needs blood from all three doppelgangers, Elena, Katherine and Amara. Elena and Amara are already in town, they only need Caroline (Candice Accola) to bring Katherine back to town as well.
Katherine, who got bad news from Maxfield (Rick Cosnett) that she is just aging and there is no way to stop it, agrees to come back with Caroline. Katherine makes a deal with Qetsiyah that after the anchor spell Qetsiyah will help her to find a cure to stop the aging, otherwise she will not give her her blood that is required for the spell.
