Not much in terms of moving the plot or story forward in this ep, another chance for Elena (Nina Dobrev) to feature again and Stefan (Paul Wesley) showing her how to reinvent herself every 30 years. He doesn't want to face up to losing Damon (Ian Somerhalder) so what's new, but he can't go back home to Mystic Falls cos of the spell and doesn't seem like he wants to even if he could. Thus he takes Elena back to Savannah showing her what he does at the garage, as well as the meagre pittance of a pay cheque he gets. It's now time for another booze up, as they feign a wedding proposal and Elena being pregnant. With Stefan being watched by the man at the bar cos he beat up his brother, but he doesn't recall who that is, so he wants him to beat him up anyway, his way of moving on from Damon. Also reminding Elena that she wanted to forget him too, that he's not a monster but she remembers him like that cos she had Alaric (Matt Davis) compel her to make her forget him. She loves him and couldn't cope with losing her soul mate. But it's not the same for him.
Back in 1994, Kai (Chris Wood) wants to hear what Damon did back then cos unless he does, he's not telling them how to get out of here. Cue Damon arriving back in Mystic Falls in 1994, wanting to see Stefan and to get back his brother. Zach (Chris William Martin) their nephew/uncle having set up their house as a boarding house and is also with a woman, Gail (Tadasay Young) who's pregnant. Bonnie (Kat Graham) guesses he killed the pregnant woman, she can't believe he did that, but she doesn't seem too shocked. Kai acting all innocent and keeping the gadget they need to use when the eclipse is going on to get back home. Stefan reminds Damon of how he changed him in 1912, then again in 1942, how he killed his best friend in 1977, even though she was trying to help him. But Damon can't quite give up on the blood lust.
Here he also meets the sheriff (Marguerite MacIntyre) who tells him about her husband and how she wasn't the sheriff yet, but she mentions Caroline. Damon feeds off Gail and Stefan takes his ring for doing that, being unaware that it's the eclipse and Damon makes it to the house, kills all the guest there and that includes the woman.
Everyone is still searching for Sarah (Gabrielle Walsh) and Matt (Zach Roerig) thinks he can befriend Tripp (Colin Ferguson) and get some info out of him. He needs to talk to the sheriff about Jay and Matt tells Tripp that Jay said he was looking for a vampire when he last saw him. Leading Tripp to take him to Enzo (Michael Malarkey) who's going to tell him the names of everyone else. You see his wife, Chris was killed by a vampire and he came back to town, thought he'd forgotten everything but his compulsion wore off and he recalled everything.
Jeremy (Steven R McQueen) is taken to hospital for his drunkeness and Alaric can't help seeing the doc, Jo (Jodi Lyn O'Keefe) as blood fodder. But he makes Jeremy see sense and a wake up call by telling him how his wife ran off cos he'd rather be a vampire, how Jenna died, then he died and how he can't stop looking at everyone without thinking about feeding. Jeremy heads home and finds Sarah, who's found a pic of her mother, said pregnant woman, Gail, and her father. She was six months premature but she survived and Jeremy tells her that father is Zach Salvatore.
Bonnie finds the paper on the ground which Damon was making paper planes out of, yeah just wishing he could fly out of there, no doubt, so she was thoroughly bored, along with me, ha. In which she reads Kai killing his family, a coven of witches and the Gemini coven thought of him as an abomination! Surprise, surprise, here they find exactly who everyone else was looking for to rescue them. He tells Damon this isn't his hell, it's Kai's. He can take Bonnie's magic and get home himself, so they have no choice but to take him with them. Bonnie realizes that Damon making pancakes everyday is his remorse for killing the woman. Yet Kai is just a cold blooded killer.
Alaric shows Elena her diary in which she writes about Damon and how she loves him but needs to move on. He can compel her to remember him but right now, she doesn't want that. Elena making Stefan realize he needs to face up to losing Damon, which makes him get his car out and start fixing it. When up pops Ivy (Emily C Chang) who's been attacked by a vampire.
Well Enzo's still around, so Stefan didn't think that Tripp would use him to get info on all of them, which was pretty silly, cos if he really wanted to finish him off, he should've done it himself. Damon saying he wanted to see Stefan after 50 years cos he felt his humanity. Then wanting to go on a road trip with him and devour some more people was a bit too hilarious! Seeing as he killed everyone at the house, was that out of spite now?! Seems Kai of the Gemini coven everyone was looking for was a bit too convenient being 'planted' right where Bonnie and Damon need him to get back home.
