Just when Rick thinks he's going to be able to relax, he's faced with multiple immediate threats.

However brutal some survivors believe they must be to stay alive, we get to see that faith can sometimes be the strongest survival tool.

As one group finds what may be an ideal shelter, another group comes to realize that the best protection comes from those around them.

The series of murders in Mystic Falls reminds Damon of a similar crime spree 100 years before, and he recalls learning a new way to live from a beautiful vampire named Sage in 1912. Meanwhile, Sheriff Forbes tells him to stay out of the murder investigation, but he is sure that she is pursuing the wrong suspect. Elsewhere, Elena and Matt go to extreme lengths to try to prove that Meredith is a killer.

Sucre and Michael attempt to take off with the money, but their plan leads them into deep water. Meanwhile, Sara realises that she is in serious danger, and Lincoln risks an ambush when he heads to Arizona to reunite with LJ.
