Salvatore Mother

Damon has dug up his mother’s grave to find out if she was in the prison world or not. He opens it and sees it is empty which means his mother is in the prison world and is probably a vampire. Damon turns to Kai to send him back to 1903, but Kai wants to apologize to Bonnie in exchange.

Bonnie is uncomfortable being around so many people and is happy to get a call from Damon. But Damon is calling to ask about Kai. As soon as he starts to talk about Kai, Bonnie gets angry. Damon tells Kai that the apology thing isn’t going to work, but Kai tells Damon that his mom was captured in NYC in 1903, Damon needs to know what the truth is. Damon shows up at the rave and surprises her with Kai. Kai apologizes, but Bonnie can’t help but remember everything he did to her in the prison world and tells him off.
