For a minute, this episode makes you think it's opening with a Steferine 1864 memory, but we quickly find out it's Stefan's Delena nightmare created by Katherine getting in Stefan's head. Despite the rude awakening, Stefan lets Katherine hang around the Salvatore House long enough for Stefan to vervain her and lock her in the basement. Across town, Damon plots to get to know Mason by convincing Alaric to convince Jenna to host a barbecue, where Caroline tells Elena all of the reasons she shouldn’t be with Stefan. She's not wrong, but Caroline is definitely not subtle about it and is clearly up to something. While Stefan tries to get to the bottom of why Katherine is in Mystic Falls, she reveals her history with George Lockwood in 1864 and that she’s been drinking vervain for 140 years and is only pretending to be held captive so she can spend time with Stefan. After Damon taunts Mason with every wolf pun he knows, he goes straight for stabbing Mason with the Gilbert family silver, making yet another enemy—one of Damon’s many talents.
