Oh, Caroline Forbes. We know you meant well last night, but what did you do?!
Indeed, on The Vampire Diaries Season 6 Episode 11, plenty of high stakes action went down (Kai kidnapped Elena; Jo nearly killed herself trying to save her; Enzo bought some art from Sarah Salvatore), but viewers were left hanging from a cliff for one reason only:

She was fed vampire blood by her well-intentioned (albeit ignorant) daughter and, as teased in the above promo for The Vampire Diaries Season 6 Episode 12, the future looks bleak for Caroline’s loving mother.
The title of the January 29 installment? "Prayer for the Dying." It doesn’t exactly inspire confidence.
Elsewhere, Liv and Luke will attempt to convince their father that they should NOT be the twins to take part in the merging ceremony, while Damon will run into some problems with his risky plan.
Will next Thursday mark the end of Kai? Or Jo? Or Liv? Or Luke?
