Meanwhile, Elena and Damon are enjoying a romantic breakfast, reminiscing about their past experiences, which sets the tone for the episode. They start talking about their first time when they officially became a couple, much to the embarrassment of Stefan, who's sitting with them.

While the trio is indulging in their memory lane, Bonnie is struggling to come to terms with the fact that her boyfriend, Jeremy, is dead. She is struggling to move on, despite Enzo's efforts to liven up the situation by encouraging her to live life to the fullest.

In a surprising twist, Kai shows up, and it is revealed that he has Bonnie's magic, which is why she can't seem to move on. Kai is his usual snarky self, cracking jokes and irritating Damon, but it's clear he's got another agenda as well.

Meanwhile, Caroline goes into panic mode when her mother's health takes a turn for the worse. She tries to put on a brave face to protect her mother, but it's clear that Caroline is struggling to cope with the situation. However, she finds support in Stefan, who has always been a constant in her life.

The episode takes a nostalgic turn when Matt tries to convince Tyler to be a part of the Homecoming game, which takes them both back to their high school days. However, their trip down memory lane doesn't quite go as planned, with both of them ending up in a fight.

Towards the end of the episode, Damon and Elena come to a realization that their relationship isn't going to work out in its current state, with Elena still grieving for her brother. They put their relationship on hold, but not before Damon reminds Elena that he'll always be there for her.

The episode ends on a cliffhanger, with Kai tricking Bonnie into performing a magic spell that transfers the magic from her to him, leaving her powerless. He isn't the only one up to no good, as Liv's twin brother reveals that he wants to kill Jo, Liv, and Luke, for reasons that are still unknown.
