Damon and Rayna wake up. She quickly changes Damon’s mind about everything which is pretty easy if you just mention Elena. if Damon does the transfer, then Damon’s life will be linked to Rayna’s and seeing as she is human she is going to die which means he won’t ever see Elena. So it’s clear Damon isn’t going to give up Elena for Stefan.
Nora has been trapped at the Armory all this time. Alex–Enzo’s family member–has been experimenting on Mary Lou by giving her pills filled with Rayna’s blood, Nora makes a deal because Rayna’s blood is poisonous to witches. In order to help Mary Lou, Nora agrees to find Enzo and return him to the Armory because they believe he’s the one who freed Rayna. Turns out they were wrong as Enzo catches up with Matt, who is the person who freed Rayna because Matt wants revenge on Stefan for Penny’s death.
Rayna is back on the road and calls Stefan to convince him to let Damon take the scar. When she was held in the Armory she would close her eyes and follow Stefan and she grew to like him. Stefan is running low on gas and he buys some time by leaving the sword behind for her to get. He is on his way to the hostage swap, where the Armory hopes to kidnap Rayna. Enzo gets to Nora and agrees to help her. He will return to Alex to get her the antidote for Mary Louise. Stefan is on his way and Rayna calls him, but it’s Matt and he says he won’t let Rayna back into her cell until Stefan’s in the cell.
