A vampire only bonds to her sire when she has feelings for him before she turns, human feelings. And then ends with going to tell Stefan
Elena: He should know
Damon: I know he should know. Because it looks to me like the only reason you want to break Elena's sire bond is to restore her original factory team Stefan settings. Caroline: Hmm. Caroline: The sire bound exists because the hybrids are grateful to Klaus for relieving them from the pain of having to wolf out every full moon, and that's why they have to turn until they're not ruled by the pain anymore
Stefan: Right, but Elena is not a werewolf. Come on. Damon: Elena is sired. Damon: More like when she went all "fatal attraction" on me. Damon: That was no ordinary girl. Damon: The witch that I found to help me break little Charlotte's sire bond. Dark magic draws power from dark places. Elena: "Out with Stefan for the night. He looks at it)
Damon: Elena is at the house with the girls where she can't get in trouble. He's been trying to put his ripper days behind him, but he needs to see death and blood and deal with them as a part of life. Isn't that the point of breaking the sire bond... Free will? Keep going
Stefan: "You're the only brother I have, and I hope that we can be friends again." Kim: To pick a fight

[New Orleans]
(Damon and Stefan are walking)
Damon: No way is she gonna be in the same spot after 70 years
Stefan: So what are we gonna tell Elena? Kind of told her to count every brick in every building in New Orleans and I'd meet her at the corner. Looking for a witch. One bite from a hybrid, and she's dead, remember? Remember that? Shane: No. So girls' night? Tell her it's ok to drink from a blood bag
Damon: She can't. That's Damon speak for, "let's not do the right thing. There's no other way to break a vampire's sire bond. Tyler: Kim is trying to prove she's the Alpha. We call it expression
Stefan: Is that like black magic? We're going to Bourbon Street
(Elena gives a champagne bottle to Bonnie and one to Caroline)
Elena: One for you, one for you
Bonnie: I'm assuming this is for Caroline
Elena: Actually, it's for me
Bonnie: Oh, I thought...
Caroline: Are you saying that...
Elena: Thanks to Damon, I am now a functional dysfunctional vampire
Bonnie: That's amazing
Caroline: What do you mean, thanks to Damon? Well, you know, in the plus column, you know New Orleans better than anyone in the world, which is really nice because we need your help finding someone

Summary: After Elena and Damon wake up and continue where they left off the night before, Stefan arrives to the Salvatore house and approaches Damon with the suspicion that Elena is sired to him. Stefan advises Damon to ask Elena to try and drink from a blood bag again and see if she can keep it down, since he believes the only reason she can only drink straight from a vein is because Damon told her so. He tries and discovers that not only can she keep the blood down, she enjoys it. Damon decides to help Stefan investigate the sire bond in New Orleans, Louisiana hoping to find a former flame of Damon's who was also sired to him. While the Salvatore brothers are out of town, Elena, Caroline and Bonnie share a girls night, but an argument quickly ensues when Caroline starts criticizing Damon. When Caroline gets angry at Elena's stubbornness and her obvious devotion to Damon, Elena reveals that she and Damon slept together, which leads to Caroline telling Elena that she is sired to Damon. Meanwhile, at Hayley's urging, Tyler confronts one of Klaus's hybrids, Kimberly, and the situation quickly escalates into violence when the hybrids start fighting over who takes the pack-leader role. Kimberly then captures Caroline to try and prove that she is the leader. Tyler and Elena save Caroline, causing the other hybrids (including Kimberly) to accept Tyler as their leader. While in New Orleans, a witch tells Damon that the only way to break a sire bond is by telling the sired vampire to forget they ever existed and move on with their life. The witch also reveals that a vampire only becomes sired to their maker when they have human feelings for their maker before they are turned. Damon knows he has to do the right thing with Elena and decides to tell her to move on, but when he approaches Elena with this final instruction, Elena realizes that he wants to break things off and tries to convince him that her feelings are as real as she believes they are, and that the sire bond only affects the way she acts. Also in the episode, we find out that Professor Shane is teaching Bonnie a type of magic called "expression," which the witch in New Orleans called more evil than dark magic; that other witches don't even call it magic at all.
