Bonnie has a vision of Klaus bringing back his old allies, including Katherine and Meredith's brother Cristian. Alaric, Meredith and Bonnie hunt for a White Oak tree that can be used to kill Klaus but Tyler and Caroline were compelled by Klaus to burn it down. Elena learns that she is an "Earthly Guardian" and that she cannot be killed by supernatural means. She is given lessons in mastering her powers by another Earthly Guardian named Andres - who works with her history professor, James - who helps her understand her skills. Damon is hunting humans again, causing Stefan and Elena to hide his actions from the rest of the group, who already dislike the more sarcastic Salvatore brother. Stefan and the rest of the group go hunting for Klaus only to discover that he has created an army including the powerful Katherine. They battle, resulting in the death of the werewolf Chad, and Klaus realizes that he has to find another way to kill Elena. Elena and Andres are ambushed by Klaus on an elevator and Andres is kidnapped after Damon saves Elena from Klaus. Damon and Katherine begin to work together, feeding on humans and having fun, but she eventually warns Damon about Klaus' plan and he leaves to join Stefan and their army of werewolves.

Meredith runs Cristian through with a stake, killing him instantly, while Damon and Stefan battle against the countless other vampires Klaus has brought with him.
