As Elijah, Stefan and Elena discover a way to save Elena, Damon does not trust Elijah. Elijah tells Elena that the way to break the curse is by channeling the power of the full moon into the moonstone, sacrificing a vampire, a werewolf and by drinking the blood of the doppelganger but he can save Elena by giving her an Elixir. Maddox injures Carol Lockwood which forces Tyler and Jules to return to town, after which Maddox and Greta kidnap Caroline (Vampire) and Tyler (werewolf).

Damon tells Elena that he cannot lose her, to which Elena responds that she trusts Elijah and that the Elixir will work. Damon tells her that there is another way and feeds her his blood. Stefan attacks Damon and Damon puts a wooden stake in him. Alaric returns as himself, gives everyone the message from Klaus that the ritual will happen tonight and Jenna forgives him.

Damon realizes that if Klaus doesn’t have a werewolf he cannot complete the ritual. He uses Katherine’s help and rescues Caroline and Tyler and kills Maddox. But Tyler starts transforming and attacks Damon. Damon saves himself but tells Caroline and Matt to go to the Old Lockwood estate. Stefan and Elena spend a romantic day together and Elena tells Stefan that she didn’t want to be as vampire.

Klaus comes and takes Elena. Damon visits Klaus and tells him that he has to postpone the ritual as his werewolf and vampire are gone. Klaus laughs and tells Damon that after trying to break the curse for a 1000 years he has learned to have a backup Werewolf (Jules), a backup Witch (Greta) and backup Vampire. He then attacks Damon.

Greta takes Elena to the site of the ritual. There Elena sees Jenna, dead. She asks Greta why Klaus killed Jenna. Greta replies that Jenna isn’t dead, she is in transition and she breaks out of her death as a Vampire.

Back at Alaric’s house, Katherine say that she is sorry for doing Klaus’ bidding (turning Jenna into a vampire) and Damon asks Katherine why Klaus didn’t use him and Katherine replies that Klaus said that he was as good as dead when she asks him about his arm, Damon checks his arm and recognizes a werewolf bite (from Tyler’s premature transformation into a werewolf).
