TEXT: [PREVIOUSLY_ON] Damon's gone! Alaric will compel away any memories I had of Damon and me being together. Tyler and Stefan are on board. Just take it away, please. Vampires can't get into Mystic Falls. They can lurk around the borders. Aah! No! Caroline compelled her to forget Elena attacked her. It's not a big deal. Matt: You're from Mystic Falls? One of the founding families actually. Any final words? [Screaming] Damon: Where the hell are we? Bonnie: 1994. We got here by magic. Magic should be able to get us out. Look who got 27 across. I didn't finish this. Well, neither did I. There's someone else here. Stefan didn't say good-bye. Damon and Bonnie died, and he just left. Let her go.

Stefan: Yeah, well I'm not here to work. Need a few days off. Dean: It looks like I need a new mechanic. ( Stefan pulls Dean from underneath the car. ) Stefan: I said, I need a few days off. Dean: Are you slow? Let me simplify: Stay, keep the job. Leave, lose it. ( Stefan yanks Dean up by his collar and then holds him above ground by his neck. ) Dean: How the hell are you so strong!? Stefan: You hired a vampire, next time do a background check. ( Stefan looks into his eyes, compelling him. ) Stefan: Now, shut up and don't move. (He sets his boss on the ground and Dean is still.) You have no idea how long I wanted to do that. See, I was trying to...get a fresh start, live a normal life, normal job, normal dick of a boss.

SUMMARY:
Still reeling from Enzo murdering his girlfriend Ivy, Stefan compels his boss at the auto repair shop to give him a few days off so that he can hunt him down. Meanwhile, Elena seems over the top ecstatic since Alaric compelled her to forget all of her Damon memories. Stefan appears at Whitmore College, surprising Elena, who has just invited Liam to the party at the swimming hole. In the parallel dimension, while Bonnie and Damon are discussing the mysterious crossword puzzle incident during grocery shopping, more strange things happen-food items missing from shelves; the merry-go-round is activated; Damon's car appears in the parking lot, all which lead Damon to discover someone named Kai. In the other world, Stefan attempts to confront Enzo, but Enzo thwarts him and kills a vampire hunter who had followed them into the woods. Kai reveals that he has been following Damon and Bonnie, right before he announces that he wants to kill Damon just as Damon takes a drink of bourbon laced with vervain. Bonnie saves Damon by regaining her magic, and she and Damon capture Kai, who later admits that he faked the attempted killing of Damon to motivate Bonnie to regain her magic. Jeremy's latest fling Sarah disappears. In a diner, Tripp Fell stabs Enzo with a syringe filled with vervain, which Enzo shakes off, right before Stefan stakes him.
