(She tries to take the paper from his back pocket discretely)
Elena: What? A band is performing. Come on
Flashback New York, 1977
[A club]
Damon (voice over): Lexi stuck with me for months, partying with me, showing me a good time, but late every night, she'd torture me in the worst way possible
Lexi: Tell me about her
Damon: No
Lexi: What did she look like, what did she sound like? Damon: I was willing to do whatever it took. Elena, Damon and Rebekah are at a table, drinking)
Elena: Is this allowed? Free her from darkness
(She's about to kill Bonnie but Caroline intervenes and kills her. He lived in the city. I don't have it
Silas/Shane: But you know who does, and the last thing that you want is for that cure to be used on you, so you bring it to me, and it won't be. I needed some quiet. I think Silas is in Mystic Falls
[Bonnie's House]
(Bonnie is with Silas/Shane)
Silas/Shane: Ok, come on .Take a deep breath. I want to hear the rest of the story
Damon: Ok
[The woods]
(Klaus and Caroline are looking for the spot of the massacre)
Caroline: I just want to see where we are
Klaus: You know, when we split up, you did have the option of going with Stefan
Caroline: Yeah? I'm trying to earn your trust. Is that the same client? Klaus, we need to save her
Klaus: How? Let them in. People who do terrible things are just terrible people
Klaus: We're here, although judging by the lack of witches, here is not the correct location
(Bonnie is still with the witches and she's still hurting)
Aja: Yield to the spirits, Bonnie! Silas wants to die and be reunited with his one true love, but he's supernatural, so if he takes the cure and dies, he gets stuck on the other side
Klaus: How Shakespearian
Stefan: But if he destroys the other side altogether, he can take the cure, die, and pass on, but in destroying it, every dead supernatural being will return to our side
Caroline: That means every werewolf, every witch, every vampire. Stefan: He brainwashed her to kill you. Stefan: No, but I talked to her dad. Stefan: Well, we don't know what Silas can do, so if we do have to go head to head with him, an original hybrid who can't die might come in handy
Klaus: Besides, Stefan and I work well together, or at least we did in the twenties
Stefan: Well, granted my emotions were off
Klaus: And that's why you were more fun just as Damon is probably relishing in Elena's emotionless company in New York
Stefan: My brother knows what he's doing
Klaus: Does he? That way, we get the normal Elena back without all the ugly stages in between
Elena: I'm not taking the cure, Damon
Damon: Yes, you are, even if I have to break your neck or tie you up in chains until we find it
(Rebekah intervenes and breaks his neck)
Rebekah: What was that you said about handling things yourself? The son of Sam
Damon: Son of Giuseppe, but close enough
(He kills him and leaves)
Nowadays,
[New York]
(Damon and Elena are walking in a crowded street)
Elena: You dragged me all the way to New York because you were feeling nostalgic? The switch. We have to convince him
(Rudy enters)
Rudy: Hey. What's the third? Why would you want to go back to that? You get to live
Klaus: Heh. You spent 6 months trying to get her to fall in love with you just so that you could hurt her. [Bonnie's House]

Summary: Realizing that Elena needs some time away from Mystic Falls, Damon takes her to New York City, where he lived and partied in the 1970s. Damon is also looking for Katherine to get the cure. Damon thinks that Elena is oblivious to that fact, but she is actually trying to get to the cure as well. When Rebekah also shows up in New York, she's impressed with Elena's secret agenda of getting the cure. Flashbacks reveal Damon's hedonistic life in the underground club scene and a complicated encounter with Lexi, where Lexi tried to get Damon to flip the switch like she did with Stefan before. Damon also briefs Elena with his experience with Lexi in New York and tries to convince her to flip the switch as well. Meanwhile Caroline and Stefan try to convince Klaus that it would be in his own best interest to help them track down Silas. They team up and try to figure out Silas's next move. They find out that the last massacre has to be involved with witches. Silas is still trying to convince Bonnie to do the last massacre. Bonnie is hesitant, but Silas reminds her that when the third massacre is performed, all supernatural creatures that died come back to life. So Bonnie decides to perform the massacre. Stefan, Klaus and Caroline look for the location and find it. The twelve witches try to save Bonnie from the use of dark magic, but they find out Silas has control of her. So they try to kill her with a knife, but Caroline takes the knife and stabs the witch who is connected with eleven other witches. All twelve witches die, completing the massacre and Bonnie faints. While in New York, Elena attempts to take away a paper Damon found to track down Katherine. She tries to grab it while seducing him, but Damon catches her by revealing he used the same trick. He confides that it took a while but he finally got Lexi to let her guard down and re-enforced the door and locked her outside in daylight. Lexi has no choice, but to hide in the shade. So Damon runs away and confesses that he felt guilty after and still does. But while talking, Rebekah breaks his neck and they take the paper and go. Bonnie wakes up and her memory after the cave is gone. Silas bribes Klaus to help him, threatening to kill him with a white-oak stake he stole from Rebekah. Elena and Rebekah steal Damon's car and search for Katherine.
