- Elena helps make Stefan late for school by getting him back into bed. Downstairs, Elena says good morning to Damon. Damon thinks she's Katherine and grabs her.

At the Salvatore house, Damon reads the diaries, trying to figure out where a bunch of witches were massacred in town centuries ago. Katherine says when a witch dies violently, they release an energy marking the site of their death with power. Just then Stefan returns saying that Elijah didn't have a weapon to kill Klaus, but he thought if you could harness enough power, a weapon wouldn't be necessary. Like power from a spot marked with 100 dead witches.

He picks up his flame thrower and torches Elijah, and Luka, although he can't see him. Stefan runs downstairs. "It's some kind of crazy a--psychic witch attack!" Damon says, telling him to do something about it.
Back with Jonas, Luka bursts into flames. His dad manages to put him out, but he's dead. A spell doesn't help.
Meanwhile, the girls, Elena, Caroline, and Bonnie, arrive at the Grill. Ric and Matt are both there. Jenna tells Ric that whatever secret he's keeping from her, she can handle it. Caroline tries to figure out what to do about Matt. Elena says Ric's in the same boat with Jenna, trying to protect her, but hurting her.

Part of the deal, she could only save one of them. Damon realizes she chose Stefan.
