The Vampire Diaries 6X2: Yellow Ledbetter
🕑 Added 2025-09-02 20:00:06 +0000 UTCDamon (Ian Somerhalder) and Bonnie (Kat Graham) are back in Mystic Falls after the collapse of the Other Side. They wander around the streets, but find no one else there. At this point, they discover a newspaper and realize that they are back in 1994, the day a solar eclipse took place (May 10).
Elena (Nina Dobrev), after her decision to let Alaric (Matt Davis) erase Damon from her memory, puts away everything that reminds her of him. She tells everyone her plan and asks them not to tell her anything about her relationship with Damon after Alaric has compelled her. Alaric and Elena start going through her memories and Alaric erases one by one, ultimately searching for the moment where Elena knew she loved Damon.
In the meantime, Jeremy (Steven R. McQueen) is hanging out with Sarah (Gabrielle Walsh) at Matt's (Zach Roerig) house. Matt does not like this idea because Sarah was attacked by Elena, but Jeremy tells him that everything is fine because Caroline (Candice Accola) compelled Sarah to forget about the attack.
Damon and Bonnie are stuck in 1994 and they try to find a way to get back to present. Bonnie tells Damon that since magic brought them there, then magic can take them back. Because Bonnie cannot practice magic anymore, she has to try to get her powers back. Their second day, they discover that they are living the same day as the day before (May 10) and they have been living the same day over and over again for the last four months.
Alaric informs Caroline that Stefan (Paul Wesley) stopped looking for a way to bring back Damon and Bonnie. She finds out that Enzo (Michael Malarkey) wants to try to find a way to help Damon and Bonnie. She finds Enzo to see what he knows. The two of them head to Stefan's place and Stefan is surprised seeing them there. The two of them have dinner with Stefan and his girlfriend, Ivy (Emily C. Chang).
During the dinner, Caroline and Enzo discover that Stefan has lived there for over two months while everyone thought he was finding a way to save Damon and Bonnie. Enzo causes a scene in front of Ivy, forcing Caroline to compel her. While fighting, Stefan snaps Enzo's neck. At the time, Caroline was on the phone with Alaric, who was asking her to help figure out when exactly Elena fell in love with Damon. Caroline says that she did while she was still with Stefan, and realizes that Stefan heard her. Caroline apologizes, but while they talk she discovers that Stefan never heard any of her messages and she leaves. Enzo joins her in the car, but when he sees that she is crying, he goes back to the house and kills Ivy in front of Stefan. He promises Stefan that he will make his life a living hell, just like Damon promised him in the past.
Alaric tells Elena that she has not been honest and that is why they cannot find the moment she fell in love with Damon. Once she tells him that it was when she was still with Stefan, Alaric is able to erase the memory from her head, making her now believe that Damon was a monster.
Tripp (Colin Ferguson) tells Matt that Sarah stole the car she came to Mystic Falls in. Matt tries to tell Jeremy. Sarah tells them that she is in Mystic Falls to find her father, so Jeremy takes her to the Salvatore house where no one lives and they will not find her. Matt calls Tripp to inform him that Sarah is looking for her father and during their conversation, it is revealed that Tripp is from a founding family, the Fells. That makes Matt suspicious of Tripp knowing about the supernatural things going on there. When they hang up, it is also revealed that Tripp knows about vampires and that he is hunting them down, then bringing them to Mystic Falls to kill them.
The episode ends with Damon and Bonnie discovering that they are not alone like they had previously thought. It is shown that someone solved the crossword puzzle she was trying to solve for the last four months.
