She says she can either sit there freaking out worrying about Stefan or she can be useful to Alaric.

She reveals that the Armory is just using them all to get Rayna locked up and that they will take them out after it's done. She says if he wants to help Stefan he should keep his mouth shut.

Bonnie finds out a little more about Enzo's past. However, there is still much he can learn from the Armory.

Damon wakes up and sees Tyler next to him. Tyler is unconscious and Enzo reveals that Matt was the mastermind behind enlisting the Armory for help. Enzo leaves Damon in the room with Tyler and it's a full moon.

He says that he would let him go if he gave up Stefan's location but Damon seems to be following Valerie's instructions to keep his mouth shut and will now be in for a fight with Tyler. Bonnie wakes up and Enzo tells her that Damon put Tyler in a coma.

He offers her ice but she smacks the ice out of his hand and he tells her that he locked Damon in a room with Tyler on a full moon.

Bonnie tries to use magic to attack Enzo but it doesn't work because Enzo injected her with something from the Armory.

The full moon is upon the Armory and Damon is trying to get out of the room before Tyler wolfs out. Tyler wakes up and when he sees Damon he is pretty surprised. Damon jokes and says he hopes he didn't wake him.

Tyler asks what is going on and Damon tells him he is going to get his sweet revenge on him. Caroline and Alaric are finally getting some quiet time but the twins start crying.

He injects Tyler but it doesn't work, Tyler wakes up and it looks like go time. Bonnie is trying to convince Enzo to open the door and he tells her that her first instinct was always to help Damon and that's what he wants.

She clobbers him with a weapon and uses his own gun to inject him with vervain. Then Bonnie takes off to find Damon who is on the phone with Stefan and asks him to get some hybrid blood from Klaus so that he could heal if Tyler goes on the attack.

Stefan tells him he'll see what he can do.

He also fills Klaus in on Caroline's mythical pregnancy. Klaus asks him why he isn't with Caroline if he cares for her so. Stefan says there is a family issue and asks Klaus for some blood. Klaus notices Stefan's wound and he is immediately angry at Stefan for putting his family in jeopardy.

He tells him that Rayna will find him no matter what. He denies Stefan refuge and his blood for lying to his face.

He screams at Stefan to get out and now Stefan is all alone. However, he left his phone behind and it begins ringing. It's Caroline and he picks up and says "hello love."

Caroline asks who it is and Klaus asks her if it has really been that long. He hears the sound of Josie crying and tells her to try picking the baby up. She does and Josie stops crying then Klaus makes jokes about baby hand-me-downs. Caroline tells him she didn't call him, she called Stefan.

She tells him to stop gloating in the face of her misery and he tells her that Stefan will be fine because he will ensure it. Klaus the strikes up a conversation about her future which she says wasn't in hers at the time she got pregnant.

He tells her that his family is what makes him happy and it's not a crime to love what you can't explain.

He tells Caroline that he was sorry to hear about her mother and that he is sure she would have been happy to see what she has brought into the world. Josie stops crying and Klaus says goodbye.

Tyler is getting ready to rip Damon apart and Bonnie comes to help but is really no use at that point. Damon tells her to think quick and she goes into the room where Enzo seems to be out of commission. She tells him that he will find out she makes a better enemy than friend and takes a axe to him. Stefan calls Valerie and she is relieved to hear his voice.

Stefan tells her that Damon needs his help and she tells him to worry about his self and go back. Matt finds out that Rayna is traveling on the same road that Stefan is traveling on and he tells Valerie that he will call her back.

Stefan is speeding along but hits some serious road spikes.

He hopes out and begins checking the car. He is attacked by Rayna who puts some arrows in him. She tries to kill him but he puts up enough of a fight so that Klaus can save him. Stefan says they need to grab her while she is out, however, Klaus tells him that he is trespassing on werewolf territory and asks him to follow him. Damon is trying to protect himself against Tyler who tells him that he will always be in danger and that his friends will always end up risking their life to save him. Bonnie comes back but Damon tells her not to open the door,.

He says it's his mess and when Tyler goes on the attack she opens the door. Bonnie tries to save Damon and Tyler ends up hurting Bonnie. Damon tells him to leave or he will kill him and Tyler takes off.

Damon tries to save Bonnie with his blood but she doesn't seem to be healing. He picks her up and carries her out of the Armory.

Enzo is laying in the room he was holding Damon and Tyler. Alex, the leader of the Armory comes in and Enzo says this is the last time he will be helping them. He tells her that he was helping them for four months and it brought him nothing.

Alex reveals that Enzo's father founded the Armory and that is where he belongs. Alex reveals that her last name is St. John and that she is his family.

Caroline and Alaric finally have time to discuss their nurses and she says she guess her work there is done. Caroline says she thinks she will stay the night if it's okay with him. He tells her she can stay as long as she wants and they have a slight moment. Damon is watching over Bonnie in a hospital bed trying to get her to wake up.

He says once the magic is back in her, he will give her his blood and heal him. He tells her that she is a terrible friend because he would have to go through years of guilt if she had died.

He tells her that she is not suppose to die for him and neither is his brother.

However, no matter how hard he tries to drill it into their skulls, they aren't going to stop trying. He says he will take himself out of the equation and after tomorrow she won't have to worry about him again.

Stefan tells Klaus to drop him off at a train station and Klaus asks him if he still loves Caroline. Stefan asks him if he still has feelings for Klaus and he says no.

Klaus believes that Stefan was protecting Caroline but he reveals he was protecting Damon.

Klaus tells him to let Caroline go or else he will always have to be giving up his happiness.

He also tells Stefan that he isn't going home, instead, he is going to see a witch that could help him with his Rayna Cruz problem.
