Raffi Barsoumian

Bonnie has an unsettling encounter with Luke (Chris Brochu), and learns more about his family history. The Travelers’ leader, Markos (Raffi Barsoumian), arrives in Mystic Falls.

When Tyler turns up at the Salvatore house with the news that Markos’ (recurring guest star Raffi Barsoumian) plan to break the witches’ curse puts Stefan and Elena in imminent danger, Damon suggests they hide out in the remote cabin once owned by Caroline’s father. Once there, it becomes obvious to Caroline that Stefan and Elena are keeping a secret, so Damon comes up with a parlor game designed to expose the truth. A ghostly presence at the cabin uses violence and fire to make itself known. Meanwhile, Matt takes charge of Tyler’s plan to get information from one of the Travelers, and Bonnie continues to keep the truth about the Other Side from Jeremy, despite warnings from Grams (recurring guest star Jasmine Guy).

Through flashbacks to election night 1960, Enzo (MICHAEL MALARKEY) reveals to Elena, Stefan and Bonnie what happened to his long-lost love, Maggie (HEATHER HEMMENS – Hellcats).

Bonnie has a disturbing encounter with Grams (JASMINE GUY). When Damon finds Markos (RAFFI BARSOUMIAN), he is both relieved and troubled by what Markos has to tell him.

When Stefan and Elena escape from Markos’ (recurring guest star Raffi Barsoumian) control, only to find themselves stranded in a remote location, Stefan gets philosophical with Elena about her relationship with Damon. After their attempt to protect the doppelgangers goes badly, Liv (recurring guest star Penelope Mitchell) and Luke (recurring guest star Chris Brochu) come up with a dangerous new strategy. Damon recruits Matt and Jeremy to help him set a trap for Markos, who turns out to have a devastating surprise of his own. Bonnie finally admits to Caroline that she’s been keeping the truth about the Other Side from everyone. Finally, while Bonnie searches desperately for a way to stop Markos, Caroline is witness to an unthinkable act of violence by one of the Travelers.
