Plot summary
In 1864, Katherine attacks a carriage and feeds on its occupants before kissing Damon. In the present, Damon interrupts Elena and Stefan in bed and reminds them that he can still be trusted. In another flashback, the brothers recall how the townspeople, particularly their father Giuseppe, played a role in the events that ultimately drove them apart. In the present once more, Bonnie is abducted by Ben when she discovers he is a vampire. Elena helps the brothers in their search for the missing journal. Stefan learns that Alaric's interest in the journal is due to his connection with the town's vampire history.
Anna, whose mother Pearl is revealed to be one the vampires trapped in the tomb, steals the journal from Alaric, but Stefan obtains a photocopy from him. He and Elena later retrieve the spellbook from Giuseppe Salvatore’s grave, but Damon arrives and takes it. Back at Elena’s house, Stefan realizes that Anna is with Jeremy and discovers that Elena has vanished.
