The episode starts with the flashback we saw last week before Caroline’s mom dead. We saw Caroline riding her bike on her own, but now we see that she crashed and needed her mom to fix her up. She asks if her cuts mean she is going to die which leads Caroline to ask her mom if she is going to die. Her mom says everyone dies, but it won’t be for a long time. Caroline wakes up from her sleep in the Salvatore house surrounded by her friends.
She goes to the kitchen where she finds Damon trying to write Liz’s eulogy. Damon tries to explain that he thinks Liz wanted to teach him a lesson about his own mother. Caroline does not want to bond with Damon. Damon tells her that this won’t be the worst day of her life. That will be the next week when her support group has gone back to their life and she is without her mom. Caroline sets out with Elena to go casket shopping.
Stefan is checking on Damon to see how his eulogy is going, but he really wants to know about what he should do about Caroline. He tells him that he kissed Caroline, but he doesn’t know how to handle it. Damon tells him to let Caroline go because if she was the one Stefan wouldn’t have come to Damon to talk about what to do. He says Stefan has been in love twice and he knows what it feels like. And if it doesn’t feel like that then he should let her go, but not today.
While looking at casket’s Caroline and Elena have a similar conversation. Caroline needs to know how Stefan feels and she needs to know today.

The Funeral
Damon hasn’t finished his eulogy when Elena comes to get him for the funeral. She says that he needs to be a nice person and that the funeral isn’t for Liz or him it’s for Caroline. Damon flashed back to his mother’s funeral and how he met up with a crying Stefan after missing his eulogy.
