Julian plans to secure his place in the heretic family by promising Nora and Marie Louise a splendid party for their lesbian-engagement century-and-a-third anniversary, inviting everyone. The Salvatore brothers accept, determined to eliminate Julian, yet disagreeing if that's worth sacrificing Lily, so they hope for witchcraft to undo the magical bond of lives. Valerie having discovered that Caroline now carries the next coven twin babies, they and Alaric must face an altered past, also affecting 'stepfather' Stefano. Enzo bitterly finds not to be Lili's priority, while family piety also divides her heretic children, even the lesbian party girls, but when she finally makes her move to honor her debt to the brothers, it's tragically outdated. Matt and the compelled townsfolk prove less helpless then vampires expected.
