Stefan is hopeful that his plan to get rid of Damon is working, and decides to reveal parts of his past to Elena. Meanwhile, Elena and Jenna are concerned about Jeremy's relationship with Vicki. At a fundraising car wash, Bonnie is surprised by abilities she didn't know she possessed, and seeks advice from her grandmother (guest star Jasmine Guy - A Different World). Finally, Elena hears a disturbing story about the Salvatore family from a stranger.

Elena demands that Stefan explain the frightening events that have been happening in Mystic Falls. In flashbacks, Stefan explains how his rivalry with Damon began. Back in the present, Damon impulsively takes control of Vicki's future, and a confused and frightened Vicki runs away. Sheriff Forbes (guest star Marguerite MacIntyre - Kyle XY) and Mayor Lockwood (guest star Rob Pralgo - Army Wives) take steps to protect the town.
