Damon mobilizes reluctant Alaric to help track down Ambrose, in Memphis, the vampire frat-serial-killer by compelling the vampire that is in Stefan's body, which must be restored within two days to avoid fatal decay. He agrees only if Damon supplies a neutral body and the head of huntress Rayna. Enzo, however, got a hold of her and is shattered to learn the pills made from her blood don't just suspend magic, which Bonnie used to avoid being traceable, but irreversibly remove her magic. Meanwhile, Bonnie is undercover in a mental asylum in Asheville, NC, seeking a tip from Alexandria St. John's committed sister, Virginia. Virginia's original cooperation turns into bloodthirsty aggression when she learns Bonnie is a Bennett witch, the only bloodline that can unlock the Armory vault, although refuses to ever do so. Team Damon overpowers Ambrose before he can kill off Marty Hammond and thus keep Stefan's body, so Valerie can try to switch the bodies, normally a task for two witches.
