"Under Control" is the 18th episode of the first season of The CW television series, The Vampire Diaries and the 18th episode of the series overall. It originally aired on April 15, 2010. The episode was written by Barbie Kligman and Andrew Chambliss and directed by David Von Ancken.
Stefan (Paul Wesley) tries to detox himself from human blood by working out and staying away from other people. Damon (Ian Somerhalder) does not find the idea really good and he tempts him with a glass of blood before he drinks it himself. Stefan has his reasons not wanting to drink human blood.
At the Gilbert house, uncle John (David Anders) shows up for a visit he doesn't know how long it will be. Jenna (Sara Canning) is not really happy to see him. John does not say the reasons he came back but one of them is to prevent Jenna from selling his brother's office to Pearl (Kelly Hu).
At school, Matt (Zach Roerig) thanks Elena (Nina Dobrev) for being there for him while Jeremy (Steven R. McQueen) and Tyler (Michael Trevino) talk about Vicky. Jeremy is not convinced that Vicky's death was due to overdose as it was said on the coroner's report and he later asks the Sheriff (Marguerite MacIntyre) if they have any news about Vicky since somebody must have buried her.
The founders' council calls a meeting in which Damon is now a member. Elena's uncle John is also there and a member and warns the council that there were many break-ins at a blood bank not far away from Mystic Falls, meaning that the vampire problem is not over yet.
Alaric (Matt Davis) talks to Elena about Jeremy's last history paper that was based on vampires. He says that Jeremy made it clear it was not real but maybe she should talk to him. Elena asks Stefan about it and Stefan suggests that she should ask him and also talk to him about her being adopted. They start making out but Stefan cannot control his desire for blood and he throws himself off of Elena. Elena really worries about him and she calls Damon to ask how Stefan is dealing with the whole thing and how long it will take for him to be himself again.
