What it’s about
The siren, Sybil cannot figure out why Enzo won't fully submit to her and in an attempt to get in his head and find out what's holding him back, she learns about Sarah Salvatore; the last living Salvatore apart from Damon and Stefan. Sybil tasks Damon, who never knew about Sarah, to kill her. A list of victims named Sarah Nelson ("Nelson" being Sarah's assumed surname) appears and Stefan, Caroline, and Bonnie go to the real Sarah's apartment to protect her from Damon and Enzo, the former of who is knocked out by Sarah with vervain upon their arrival. Enzo tells Bonnie they will both be in danger if he doesn't return to Sybil so Bonnie knocks him out and attempts to escape. Eventually, she must let him go but the two share a passionate kiss and he tells her he will never stop fighting for her. At Sarah's apartment, Damon attempts to kill her but Stefan tells him who she is and begs him to let her go for Elena. Damon lets her go, but Sybil shows up at that moment and kills Sarah. She is upset that Damon is tied to Elena so she changes his memories of Elena to her. Now fully submitted to Sybil, Damon walks out with her. When Enzo returns to Sybil, she gets in his head and sees his kiss with Bonnie. Alaric and his co-worker Georgie discover an artifact with a symbol that Georgie has tattooed on herself that she saw in a hellish state of mind after a near-death experience. In the end, Caroline moves into the Salvatore residence with Stefan, where she discovers he has made a room for her and Alaric's kids to stay and in the dresser drawer, an engagement ring. After making Stefan officially pop the question, Caroline accepts his proposal.
