Damon realizes that the Asian male of Lily's 'family' of heretics, Oscar, is missing and sets out with Alaric and Bonnie to find him as leverage for Elena. First they use his magical siphon abilities to cure Bonnie of the nightmare images caused by the Phoenix stone, but a heretic girl is ruthlessly on to them. Back home, Caroline and Stefan learn about Heretic Valerie, Stefan's first love as a naive young boy, and her grimly manipulative father Julian, who seduced Lily, who ultimately decides to release Caroline and make up with Stefan.
