Katherine (Nina Dobrev) calls Damon (Ian Somerhalder) and tells him that she knows where Stefan (Paul Wesley) and Klaus (Joseph Morgan) are.
In flashbacks, we can see that the two men were friends and Stefan also had a relationship with Klaus’ sister, Rebekah (Claire Holt).
In the meantime, Damon goes to the bar and Gloria tells him that Stefan and Klaus were there but they left and will be back later.
He tells her that he will keep Klaus occupied so she can inject Stefan with vervain to weaken him and be able to take him back home.
She also tells Klaus that to find answers to his questions about the hybrids, they have to contact the Original Witch and Rebekah is the only one who can help them with that.
Back in Mystic Falls, Bill (Jack Coleman) still keeps Caroline (Candice Accola) tied up and tortures her claiming that he does it to "fix" her.
With Bill unable to do anything, Tyler (Michael Trevino) unties Caroline and along with Liz, they take her back home.
