Elena (Nina Dobrev), after her decision to let Alaric (Matt Davis) erase Damon from her memory, puts away everything that reminds her of him.
In the meantime, Jeremy (Steven R. McQueen) is hanging out with Sarah (Gabrielle Walsh) at Matt's (Zach Roerig) house.
During the dinner, Caroline and Enzo discover that Stefan has lived there for over two months while everyone thought he was finding a way to save Damon and Bonnie.
Enzo joins her in the car, but when he sees that she is crying, he goes back to the house and kills Ivy in front of Stefan.
[6] Ashley Dominique of Geeked Out Nation rated the episode with 6.9/10 saying that it was a downside for the audience to be dragged through Elena's experience of losing her memories for Damon and totally unnecessary.
"[7] Lindsay Sperling from We Got This Covered gave the episode a good review saying that it didn't reveal all the answers but it pointed us in the right direction.
"The Vampire Diaries gave fans a healthy dose of everything they could have wanted – flashbacks, messy bits, and the return of Enzo (who we love to hate!).
"[8] Caroline Preece of Den of Geek gave a good review to the episode saying that the show remembers how to be great again.
"Yellow Ledbetter was a fantastic episode of a show that has had very few fantastic episodes in the last couple of years [...] Last week’s premiere may have felt a little more like business as usual, but Yellow Ledbetter proved that something significant has changed over the summer, and season six could potentially take the show back to the heights of seasons one and two.
"[9] Stephanie Hall from K Site TV also gave a good review saying that the episode was impressive and praising the writing of Julie Plec, saying that it was "snarky and wonderful".
