The episode starts with a flashback to Bulgaria in 1490 where Katerina (Nina Dobrev) gives birth to a baby girl but her father takes it away immediately because the pregnancy brought shame to the family.
Back to the present, Damon (Ian Somerhalder) and Stefan (Paul Wesley) call Elena to their home to inform her about what Rose (Lauren Cohan) told them.
Rose tries to convince them that Klaus is really dangerous and Elijah (Daniel Gillies) is nothing in front of him but the Salvatores try to calm Elena down by saying that nothing of these might be true.
Rose warns them again and Elena leaves for High School rejecting Stefan's offer to go with her for protection.
Their conversation gets interrupted by a new student, Luka (Bryton James), who asks for directions for the school's office.
Later on, Bonnie gets to the Grill but Jeremy is not there yet so she sits with Luka who introduces his father Jonas (Randy J. Goodwin ) to her.
Jeremy arrives and Bonnie gets the chance to get away but before she leaves, she touches Luka's shoulder and she gets a strange feeling about him.
Her father had kicked her out of the house after she gave birth to her little girl and she traveled to England where she met Klaus but when she found out why he wanted her around, she ran away to save her life.
Trevor (Trent Ford) appears and misleads them to the opposite direction and helps Katerina escape.
Meanwhile, Caroline tries to keep Stefan busy so he won't go out searching for Elena by telling him that she told Tyler (Michael Trevino) about her being a vampire.
They meet him at a cafe that is built in a way that does not allow the sun burn the vampires but Trevor's contacts stop to Elijah and he does not know how to reach Klaus.
He throws some coins at the cafe's windows breaking them, something that lets the sun pass through and the vampires start burning.
"It is a credit to Dobrev's portrayal that she can give Katherine so much nuance after the character has been painted as such a villain up to this point.
"The Vampire Diaries introduced viewers to the Long Island Iced Tea of curse-breaking spells last night.
But instead of a mixture of ingredients that simply lead to a hangover, the recipe Katherine described to Elena could result in the sacrifice of almost every Mystic Falls resident we know and love.
"Mostly, this episode is about unfolding information, and the writers make a solid effort to undercut the tedium of that process."
