Bonnie Bennett is the best friend of Elena Gilbert and Caroline Forbes. While she fills the role of counselor and confidant,
Bonnie is also the brassy-but-cautious witch, who discovers her powers just in time to help out her family and friends.
Bonnie is also noted for having many heroine tendencies, namely, being repeatedly ready to sacrifice herself for her friends.
As her powers have increased, the witch has stepped up at pretty much every opportunity to trade her life for those of her
friends. Luckily, Bonnie is alive and well; her spell-casting abilities most definitely came in handy when the Original
Vampires came to Mystic Falls.
Bonnie is a member of the Bennett Family.
Season One
Bonnie and Elena
As Bonnie Bennett began her junior year at Mystic Falls High School, she, along with every other girl in school, fell under
the charm of Stefan Salvatore; a foreign exchange student from Italy. Bonnie also revealed to Elena that she is a descendant
of the Salem sorcerers, and that she and her grandmother are supposedly witches. As Bonnie continues to joke about her
preternatural powers, during the Back to School Party, Bonnie inexplicably reads Elena's past.
As Bonnie adjusts to her new life as a witch, she begins spending more and more time with her warm and loving
grandmother, Sheila Bennett, who is also a witch. However, it wasn't until after the death of Sheila, Bonnie began to take the
subject seriously. After countless battles between Damon and Stefan, Sheila died after she reluctantly agreed to break Emily
Bennett's spell one of the descendants of Bonnie Bennett, and free the vampires trapped from the tomb underneath Fell's
Church.
A confused Bonnie lights the candles.
In Family Ties, Bonnie and Caroline arrive at Mystic Grill. Bonnie is worried about Caroline seeing Damon but Caroline
assures Bonnie that Damon is safe and that he just has lots of issues with his brother, Stefan. Bonnie encourages Caroline to
give away the secret that Damon revealed to her about Stefan.Soon at the Ball Bonnie alone at a table notices a candle being
blown out.She relights it just by staring at the candles, but instantly she blows it out.When Carol Lockwood complains about
the unlit candles in the uncrowded room and the waiter goes to get the matches from the kitchen, Bonnie amazes herself by
lighting one and the one lite candle lighting the the unlit candles and the lights with her powers.
In You're Undead To Me, Bonnie is seen at Caroline's house on her bed.As she listens to her,she tries to light a candle,her
face concentrated.Caroline asks what she's doing with the candle.And Bonnie, as if she woke up from a sleep says
nothing.She puts the candle down and takes The Bennett Talisman and asks what it is.After Caroline explains that Damon
was going to it to her,Bonnie comments "It's ugly". At school when Stefan goes up to Bonnie and Elena, Bonnie instantly
flees saying "Hey you know, I gotta go, be somewhere right now". Afterwards Bonnie attends The Sexy Suds Car Wash. A
man arrives with his car, hoping it will get washed, and Tiki comments that they can wash the car, but it will always be a
"POS".

Bonnie, angered with Tiki's attitude, makes the hose run with her powers and Tiki gets wet in the process.Tiki later is in
charge of the car wash and makes Bonnie sweep the pavement because it has the be dry.Bonnie in anger burns the pavement
and the fire travels up along the water and along with the car is set alight,Stefan runs over to Bonnie and shakes her.Bonnie
asks what happened and whether she did it or not.When Stefan says yes, Bonnie asks him not to tell anyone.Later, Bonnie
arrives at Sheila's house.When Sheila opens the door, Bonnie is crying, and says that she doesn't know what's going on.
In Haunted, Bonnie learns more and more about witchcraft from her grandmother, Sheila. Sheila talks about the history and
how serious witchcraft can be.Halloween is coming, and Caroline gives Bonnie a witch Halloween costume.And Bonnie
finds The Bennett Talisman and asks if it's the one that Caroline got it from Damon. At the Halloween Party Bonnie is front
of a cauldron filled with candies. Damon approaches to her, and asks her where Caroline is. In respond Bonnie warns him to
stay away from her.
Bonnie (witch costume)
Damon notices the Talisman Bonnie is wearing and asks where she got it from.He easily figures that Caroline gave it to
her,notes that it's his and wants it back.Bonnie says that she's not going to give it, she says she's going to give it to Caroline,
and if Caroline feels like giving it to Damon, he can have it.Damon tries to pull it off her neck, but the necklace burns his
hand.Bonnie runs away and comes home as soon as possible.And tells Sheila everything. Sheila says that the necklace
belonged to one of the most powerful witches in their family, and she shows Bonnie an old picture of a woman who is also
wearing the necklace: Emily Bennett. And also it is revealed that she is Bonnie's great-great-great-great-grandmother.
In 162 Candles, Bonnie decides to pack up at her grandmother's and go home. Knowing that her father doesn't like her to be
gone for long. Bonnie tries to give her grandmother,Sheila the necklace back but she says no and that it belongs to Bonnie. It
is a talisman that has been passed down from generation to generation and it has found its way back to Bonnie. Bonnie
decides her grandmother is right and leaves the necklace on, but just wishes it was a little bit prettier. Bonnie pays an early
visit to Elena in her room.
"It's true, Elena, everything my Grams told me. It's impossible, and it's true... I'm a witch!"
She apologizes to Elena for being an absentee friend these past few days. Feeling that she can trust Elena, Bonnie swears her
to secrecy and shows some of the things her grandmother taught her. She rips open her feather pillow to Elena's surprise and
proceeds to make the feathers fly up into the air. Elena is shocked but happy that Bonnie shared this with her.At the Mystic
Grill, Caroline spots Bonnie and asks her about the necklace. Bonnie refuses to give it back. When Caroline reaches out to
grab the necklace, she gets a shock from the necklace. Bonnie senses that it isn't actually Caroline who wants the necklace
but Damon. She tells Caroline to have Damon asked for it back himself. Bonnie walks off, upset.
Bonnie at Fell's Church
In History Repeating, Bonnie is scared when she wakes from what she thought was a dream and finds herself at the ruins of
the old Fell's Church. She senses that her relative “Emily” keeps trying to tell her something and feels that the necklace has a
lot to do with it. Later, at school once again and without luck again, Damon confronts Bonnie about the necklace. She still
refuses to hand it over to him. He tells her that he would not hurt her and in fact, he can help her get rid of Emily.
Damon tells Bonnie that the next time she sees Emily, to tell her “a deals a deal”. Driving home from school, Bonnie tells
Elena that she feels the necklace is causing all of this situation with Emily. Pulling off the road suddenly, Bonnie gets out
and throws the necklace far into a deserted field. Elena is shocked but knows that it will make Bonnie feel more
relieved.Elena invites Caroline and Bonnie to dinner so that they can try and be friends again. When Bonnie arrives, she tells
Caroline that the “necklace” drama is all over and that she threw it in a field.
Seance witch Emily
They decide to do manicures and Caroline goes into Bonnie's bag to get the kit out. Seeing the necklace in the bag, Caroline
calls her a liar.Bonnie tries to convince her that she was telling the truth and that the necklace shouldn't be in there. Realizing
that she over reacted, Caroline apologized to Bonnie. Suddenly, Caroline has the idea to have a séance to see what “Emily”
wants from Bonnie.During the séance, the threesome start to get scared when a breeze blows through and the candles begin
to flicker. The candles begin to flicker some more and Bonnie decides it's enough. She throws the The Bennett Talisman
down by the candles.
A moment later, the necklace is nowhere to be found. Once again, Bonnie and Elena believe that Caroline has taken it.
Caroline convinces them that it was not her.Looking for the necklace, Bonnie, Caroline and Elena are about to give up.
Soon, Bonnie is surprised to see the necklace laying on the bathroom floor. Bonnie enters the bathroom and suddenly the
door shuts after her. Caroline and Elena rush over to help her but they can't seem to open the door. Finally after a struggle,
the door opens and Bonnie appears calm and slightly different.
Telling them she's fine, Bonnie walks away towards the door. Passing by the mirror, the reflection is not that of Bonnie but
of Emily instead. Having had enough drama, Caroline decides to head on home.Fearing for Bonnie, Elena yells for Bonnie
not to leave. Noticing that Bonnie doesn't even hear her, Elena calls out “Emily” and immediately Bonnie stops.
Bonnie/Emily tells Elena that she is going to destroy the necklace and that Damon will never get it back.Having had enough
drama, Caroline decides to head on home.
Bonnie/Emily leaves and not knowing what to do, Elena calls Stefan. She tells him what's happened and that Bonnie/Emily
is headed to Fell's Church. Overhearing this conversation, Damon rushes to the church.Once at the church, Damon sees
Bonnie/Emily and demands that she honor her side of the bargain. Reaching out to grab the necklace, Damon is thrust back
against a tree with a wooden stake in his side. Bonnie/Emily steps in a pentacle on the ground and it begins to burn.
Incendia!
Luckily for Damon, Stefan shows up just in time to save him. Bonnie/Emily tells Stefan what Damon forgot to mention.
Apparently, she would not just be releasing Katherine but she would be releasing the other 26 Vampires locked in there with
her. Chanting a spell, Bonnie/Emily throws the necklace into the air and it explodes into a burst of sparks.Devastated and
fangs bared, Damon rushes for Bonnie and attacks her. He bites her and nearly kills her. Not knowing any other way, Stefan
opens his wrist to allow his blood to flow and had Bonnie drink from him.
Immediately, her wounds started to heal. Watching on, Damon tells Stefan that Katherine never compelled him to love her.
That they really loved each other. Not knowing what to do anymore, Damon tells Stefan that he will leave town.Seeing that
Bonnie is fine, Elena tries to once again convince Stefan that she cares for him and that she wants to be with him. Making
her even more upset, Stefan tells her that they can't be together and that he too must leave town. Later at the Gilbert House
Elena explains Bonnie everything,from the existence of vampire to Stefan and Damon.

In Bloodlines, Stefan finds Bonnie at the school asks her to help him. Bonnie finally agrees to help him since it involves
Elena and she wants to help her friend. The two go sit down and Stefan gives Bonnie Elena's necklace to hold and see if she
can find out if Elena is okay or not. Bonnie tries but discovers that her powers are blocked. Feeling scared and not knowing
what is going on, Bonnie rushes off to her grandmother's house. There, Bonnie begins to try and find the answer to why she's
blocked in books. Sheila arrives at home and tells her that she won't find her answer in a book. She tells Bonnie that she
must go to the place where she was scared and face it.
Bonnie at the tomb.
Bonnie heads out to the rubble of the old church and looks around. Soon, she senses that someone else might be there too.
Calling out, Bonnie suddenly falls through the ground into a secret chamber. Bonnie tries but fails to get a signal on her
phone down in the chamber. She begins to hear something and she puts her head to the wall and soon hears the voices on the
other side. Suddenly Stefan is there and he tells her to close her eyes and flies with her to the outside. Opening her eyes,
Bonnie is happy to see that it really was Stefan. Bonnie asks Stefan if the people are suffering down there. He tells her that
they are no longer suffering and that only blood can bring them back. Seeing that she is scared, Stefan reassures her that it
will never happen since Emily destroyed the crystal.Bonnie arrives home safe, happy to see Sheila.

to Bonnie that Anna wants Bonnie to use her powers to unlock the spell on the tomb.Anna makes arrangements to meet
Stefan and tells Ben to use violence if necessary when dealing with Elena and Bonnie. Once alone, Elena asks Ben for a
glass of water. Taking a few sips, Elena catches him off guard and throws the water on him. He cringes away as if in pain.
"Can I have a sip?"
He soon recovers but has a little more to deal with when Stefan kicks down the door. Stefan opens the curtains and tells the
girls to leave..Back at her grandmother's house, Bonnie and her grandmother Sheila agree to help open the tomb. Thinking
this will be the only way to get Damon to leave them all alone. Of course, they will need Damon to bring the grimoire.
Stefan doesn't think that Damon will ever agree to trust them again. Elena steps up and says that she thinks she can get him
to.
Bonnie and her grandmother soon begin the ritual of chanting the spell. After a few moments, the tomb opens. Damon grabs
Elena and takes her in as leverage. He knows that if he goes in there alone, they would close the tomb again. Anna also
arrives to enter the tomb. Bonnie tries to stop her but her grandmother tells her to go on in. Her grandmother explains to
Bonnie that the seal has not been broken and that any Vampires entering the tomb will not be allowed back out. Only
humans will be allowed out.Bonnie tries to stop Stefan from entering the tomb knowing that he would not be able to come
back out. He sees no other choice and proceeds inside to save Elena anyways.

Bonnie's help, maybe it will work. They both proceed to chant the spell.Once outside, Elena turns around to see that Stefan is
stuck on the inside due to the spell. Bonnie explains to her what happened and Elena realizes that Stefan risked his freedom
to save her. Bonnie continues to chant in hopes of freeing Stefan.They only have a few minutes before it closes again so

exhausted. Not wanting to be fussed over, Sheila tells Bonnie she's fine and that she just wants to lie down. Elena soon
arrives to check in on them. Bonnie enters her grandmothers room and notices she's not breathing. Racing to the bed, Bonnie
begins to cry and tries to get her to wake up. Elena calls 911 but Bonnie knows that her grandmother is dead.
Lost in despair, Bonnie had temporarily left Mystic Falls. During her absence, Bonnie took her ancestor's Grimoire, in order
to better herself in the arts of magic and witchcraft. Later during the season, Bonnie returned to Mystic Falls, with a newly

acting very distant and she does not know why. Outside of school, Elena asks Bonnie why she never took her calls while she
was gone and Bonnie tells her that she just wasn't in the mood to talk. Of course when Caroline shows up and embraces
Bonnie, Elena hears that Caroline had talked to Bonnie every day on the phone.Since Matt had to work, Bonnie steps in to be
Caroline's partner.
"She died for nothing"
Once again, Bonnie gives Elena the cold shoulder. Seeing this, Elena asks Bonnie if they could talk for a minute privately.
Bonnie tells her that since the Vampires escaped from the tomb, it means that her grandmother died for nothing. She blames
both Stefan and Damon for this. Bonnie tells her that she knows she can't expect Elena to take sides but as long as she's with
Stefan, she can no longer be her friend. Later at the event Bonnie gives Stefan an aneurysm to stop him from hurting Amber.

to go to her. Deciding against it once she sees Stefan behind Elena. Bonnie turns around and leaves without saying a word.

standing there. Seeing how upset she is, Bonnie embraces Elena. Elena fills her in with all that has happened.

that the device Isobel wants is actually a weapon. It was meant to kill Vampires.At the Salvatore house, Damon, Stefan,
Elena and Bonnie discuss how they can save Jeremy. Elena tells them that Bonnie can reverse the spell on the device and
then they can hand over the device to Isobel. It would be useless now but Isobel would have no idea. Damon of course
doesn't trust Bonnie.

Seeing they have no choice, Bonnie begins the chanting spell. After some flashes of the lights and the fire flickering, Bonnie
tells them it has been done.Bonnie and Caroline are down at the Mystic Grill and Caroline is still trying to get Bonnie to tell
her why she's upset with Elena. Bonnie finally tells Caroline that she did something really bad. Bonnie tells Caroline that she
lied to Elena and told her she did something but she really didn't. Once Elena finds out, Bonnie tells Caroline that Elena will
never forgive her.

them until Damon steps in and waves back at Elena. Telling him to go away, Bonnie walks off. Convincing her to listen to
him, Damon wants to sincerely thank her for her help in undoing the spell on the device. Seeing he is truly thankful, Bonnie
begins to have doubts about not actually doing just that.
"I know who I am,now."
Before Damon walks off, he tells her that he owes her one.At the back entrance to the basement, Stefan runs into Bonnie
who warns him not to enter. He tells her that he needs to save his brother and doesn't listen to her warning and enters the
burning building. Elena tries to also follow but Bonnie stops her. Bonnie begins to chant a spell that makes the flames low,
long enough for Stefan to save Damon. Since then Damon and Stefan are alive thanks to her. After everything Stefan
approaches Bonnie and tells her how thankful he is that she helped them. She tells him that she did it for Elena. Bonnie tells

Damon’s sole purpose for coming back to Mystic Falls was to free Katherine Pierce, the vampire who turned him and the woman he loved.
After realizing that Katherine never loved him, Damon started working with Stefan and Katherine’s descendent and doppelgänger, Elena
Gilbert, with whom he fell in love with.
Damon is also the head of the Founder's Council, along with Sheriff Forbes and Carol Lockwood, and currently lives with Stefan in the
Salvatore Boarding House. For the majority of the first season, Damon was the main antagonist, but during the later seasons, he cooperates
with Stefan to protect Elena.
He was bitten by Tyler Lockwood, a werewolf, after freeing him during a full moon. He was saved when Katherine brought him the hybrid
Klaus’s blood.
Damon is a member of the Salvatore Family and a member of the Founder's Council.
Early History
Damon and Stefan in 1864, while they were still human.Damon was born to Giuseppe Salvatore and an unnamed mother on June 28, 1840
in the small town of Mystic Falls, Virginia. His little brother Stefan Salvatore is seven years younger than him, and the two were extremely
close. He joined the Confederate Army at some point, coming back when he was on leave to spend time at the Salvatore Estate. It is unclear
when Damon first met Katherine Pierce, but he left the Confederacy and returned to Mystic Falls to spend more time with her. His father
disapproved of his poor sense of duty.
It was also revealed during flashbacks that Damon knew exactly what Katherine was, a Vampire, and that he willingly drank her blood. She
was also shown teaching him how to stop victims, and the two kissed while she still had blood on her lips. Damon wanted to give up his
human life and spend eternity with Katherine, and he begged Stefan to keep the secret from their father, who was a member of the Founder's
Council and a vampire-hater. When Stefan broke that promise, and Katherine was taken away by those hunting vampires, Damon was
chastised by his father for trying to save her. He was furious with Stefan, but agreed to work with him to rescue her. In the midst of their
daring plan, they were both shot and killed by Giuseppe, who was ashamed his sons fell for a vampire. They both had Katherine’s blood in
their systems, but Damon awakened first and went to Fell's Church, where they were burning the vampires, to witness the fire being set.
Damon awakens after dying.
When Stefan awakened the next morning, Damon told him that Katherine’s death meant his reason for living was gone, and he wouldn’t
complete his transition into a vampire. When Stefan returned, having killed their father and fed on him, he forced Damon to drink from a
young woman’s neck, completing his transition. He was not as volatile on blood, though, and he left Stefan’s company, disgusted with how
he was acting and angered that Katherine had made him into a vampire as well. Damon also received a daylight ring from Emily Bennett,
who told the brothers that she owed Katherine for saving her life. She told Damon that she’d spared the vampires in the church, but Damon
didn’t tell Stefan this until one hundred and forty-five years later, when he would be able to free Katherine from the church.
Season One
"Hello Brother"
Upon arriving in Mystic Falls, Damon torments his brother Stefan by constantly threatening Stefan’s new love interest, Elena Gilbert. He
remarks that Elena is a ‘dead ringer’ for the brothers’ former shared love, Katherine Pierce. He also displays his strength in comparison with
Stefan, pointing out how much of a disadvantage it is for Stefan to drink only animal blood. Damon claims his first two victims at the very
opening of the Pilot, but makes his presence known in a more theatrical way by attacking Vicki Donovan in the woods. Later, when Elena
visits the Salvatore Boarding House in search of Stefan, Damon is there instead, and he implies that his brother is on the ‘rebound’ from a
recently lost love. When Elena leaves, Damon taunts Stefan because it is harder for him to effectively compel Vicki Donovan to forget a
vampire attacked her. In the end of The Night of the Comet,
Damon drops Caroline off for cheer-leading practice.
Damon charms and beds young Caroline Forbes, a friend of Elena’s, ending the night by viciously biting her neck and feeding from her. In
Friday Night Bites, Damon drives Caroline to her cheerleading practice, having compelled her to keep his secret and to be unafraid of him.
He also takes her to dinner at Elena’s house, antagonizing Stefan as he continues to fill Elena’s head with lies about Katherine. Elena
surprises him by asking which one of the Salvatores dated Katherine first, and she renders him speechless by telling him that she was sorry,
because he lost her, too. Later that same night, Damon follows Elena to the parking lot before the football game and attempts to compel her
to kiss him, but due to her Vervain necklace, she is free of his influence and slaps him in the face. Angered, Damon confronts Stefan on his
way to the field, but he’s further enraged when Stefan claims that he still has humanity in him. Damon responds by killing William Tanner,
who is Stefan’s football coach and teacher of Elena. That night, when Stefan is writing about how there is nothing good left in Damon,
Damon is in Elena’s room, gazing at her and stroking her cheek.
Damon sends a nightmare to Stefan.
In Family Ties, Damon wakes Stefan by manipulating his dreams and creating a nightmare in which Elena becomes the older Salvatore’s
next victim. He claims that he can do this because of Stefan’s animal blood diet. Stefan responds by throwing a knife into Damon’s chest,
something Damon doesn’t seem to feel, and though Damon admits he deserves it, he later stabs Stefan back for ruining one of his John
Varvatos shirts. He also used a large mountain lion to cover up his murders, saying he would be staying in town for a while. He’s later
shown lounging in Caroline’s room reading a book from the Twilight series, expressing his distaste for how ‘whipped’ the character Edward
is. When asked why he doesn’t ‘sparkle’ in the sun, he replies that he has a ring, and that it protects him. Caroline wonders if the bite-marks
covering her body will turn her into a vampire, and Damon describes the process of turning as an ‘ordeal,’ explaining it to her casually.
Damon also reveals his extreme disregard for human life in this episode: When Caroline asks him if he’s going to kill her, he calmly tells
her that he will, but not yet. Later in this same episode, Damon is reading on the couch when Zach approaches, asking him why he’s in
Mystic Falls. When Zach angers him by saying that he always has a motive, Damon holds him up by his neck, further displaying his volatile
personality. Stefan arrives to spare Zach before Damon kills him. Damon also expresses his pleasure with never growing old while getting
ready to attend the Founder's Party. He nearly drinks alcohol spiked with Vervain, a part of Stefan’s plan to disable him, and remarks that,
going to the party angry, “Who knows what I’ll do?”
At the party, Damon is first invited into the Lockwood Mansion by Carol Lockwood. He appears behind Stefan and Elena just as Elena is
reading both of their names on the original registry for the First Founder's Party. Elena expresses interest in hearing more about Stefan and
Damon’s lineage and, as he’s compelled her to distract Stefan, Caroline requests to dance with the younger Salvatore. Left alone with Elena,
Damon begins with a very mocking apology, and he spins a tale about the ‘original’ Salvatore brothers. He says that someone they loved
very much was burned in the church during the Battle of Willow Creek, and that when the brothers went to rescue the woman, they were
both shot.
Later, Damon leads Caroline upstairs and takes a yellow crystal from a secret compartment in one of the objects on displays; a large wooden
box. He says he put it there a long time ago. He seems to blend into the party until Elena sees the bites on Caroline’s back and confronts
him, threatening to go to Caroline’s mother. Angered by this, Damon takes Caroline out near the lake. He claims to forgive her, but then
says he’s over her and bites her neck. He didn’t realize that Stefan had spiked her drink while dancing with her, and that he’d just consumed
enough Vervain to render him harmless. Stefan took him back to the Salvatore mansion, injected him with more vervain, and locked him in
the dungeon under their home.
During the episode You're Undead To Me, Damon manages to establish a weak mental connection to Caroline, despite being locked in the
dungeon under Salvatore Boarding House. He contacts her first in her room, though this proved rather ineffective, and then again in the
hallway at Mystic Falls High School, while she was getting more towels for the Car Wash. She comes all the way to the boarding house and
attempts to release Damon, though Zach tries to keep him locked up. Damon snaps Zach’s neck and chases Caroline through the house,
though he’s severely weakened and unable to walk in the sun because Stefan took his daylight ring. He waits until nightfall to stalk a group
of young people, including former victim Vicki Donovan, and kill all of them, excluding Vicki herself.
The episode Lost Girls continues with Damon feeding on his new victims and burning their corpses, using one of their arms to wipe the
blood from his mouth. Strangely enough, these actions were performed outside of a crypt with the word ‘Salvatore’ carved in it. Damon
calls Stefan as he burns the dead, demanding to have his daylight ring returned, going so far as to threaten Elena’s life.
Damon moments before killing Vicki.
After hanging up with Stefan, Damon finds that one body isn’t burning, but when he goes to set her on fire, he realized that Vicki is still
alive. Damon seems intrigued by her resilience, and he takes her back to the Salvatore Boarding House, where he feeds her his blood to heal
her. This episode (during Stefan’s story to Elena), also shows Damon and Stefan playing an early version of football in front of their home
in 1864, only to be interrupted by Katherine. In the present, Damon feeds Vicki more of his blood while also feeding on her, and the two of
their get drunk together and begin dancing around the house. They end up in Stefan’s room, where Damon tears things from their places as
he moves around. The two start slow-dancing, at which point Damon snaps Vicki’s neck. When she wakes up, he tells her that she must feed
to completely the ‘process,’ but, smiling, he suggests she go to Jeremy’s house, where he knows Elena will be. He even shows up there later,
forcing his way inside and sarcastically warning Elena about who she invites in.
When Stefan is shot by Logan Fell, who was using the Gilbert Compass to track down vampires, Damon appears, kills Logan, and extracts
the wooden bullet from Stefan’s chest, though he demands to have his daylight ring back. He seems uncaring when Vicki feeds on Logan’s
body, completing her transition into a vampire. This story arc continues in Haunted; when Stefan is trying to help Vicki adjust to her new
life, Damon acts offended that the murder of Logan Fell isn’t in the newspaper, and he says that someone is covering it up. He also tells
Vicki about the compass he took from Logan. He also taunts Stefan about giving Vicki animal blood, and when he opens the front door to
find Elena standing there, he acts arrogantly toward her. Later in the episode, Damon invites Vicki outside, where the Salvatores lose her in
the forest, and while the events at the Halloween Party take place, Damon sits down with Carol Lockwood. When he tells her his last name,
she wonders if there is a relation to Zach Salvatore, but when he attempts to compel her to tell him how she knows Zach, he realizes she’s
wearing a vervain bracelet, which keeps him out of her mind. He doesn’t relent in his quest for information, mentioning the vervain to get
Carol talking freely to him. When she mentions the Founder's Council, Damon seems interested, but Carol quickly changes the subject.
Damon continues his relentless flirting and manages to find out how they’re eliminating names on the ‘vampire suspect’ list: Anyone who
arrived at the Founder's Party during the day was eliminated, which would include Damon and Stefan. He offers to escort her to the school,
where he runs into Bonnie. He asks her where Caroline is specifically to antagonize her, but then he realizes she’s wearing the yellow crystal
he took at the Founder’s Party. He tries to take it, but it burns his hand when he touches it and Bonnie runs away from him.
Stefan calls Damon after he’s forced to stake Vicki, and when Damon shows up, he finds Elena sitting beside her body. His cool demeanor
enrages Elena and she tries to hit him, but he catches her hand. He tells her that none of this matters to him, so when he releases her, she
slaps him. Damon seems angered, but he remains calm as he tells her that she needs to leave because of the blood coming from her wounds.
He later shows up on Elena’s porch, offering to erase Jeremy’s memory because Stefan’s diet prevents him from effectively compelling
humans. Elena accepts his offer.
Damon first appears in 162 Candles beside Stefan’s napping guest, Lexi Branson, who has come to town for Stefan’s birthday. She
expresses immediate displeasure when she sees him, remarking that he’s “only the bad parts” of being a vampire.
Damon and Lexi.
When he gets too close, Lexi pins him to the bed and tells him not to ruin her time with Stefan, threatening him with bodily harm. He later
goes to Sheriff Forbes’ office to deliver a package of vervain, supposedly in Zach’s stead. Damon uses this to get more facts about the
Founder's Council, and to put himself in their ‘small circle.’ He also encounters Caroline at the school and compels her to throw a party at
the grill so he can make sure Stefan and Lexi show up. He speaks to Elena,
Damon kills Lexi.
who has concerns about what he compelled Jeremy to believe, though he insists that he only “took away his suffering." To further
antagonize his brother and give the Founder’s Council a scapegoat, Damon kills a man in the alley near the Mystic Grill and compels a
woman to tell everyone it was Lexi that killed her companion. When they remove Lexi from the bar, she breaks free of the sheriffs and
attempts to kill Sheriff Forbes, who repeatedly shoots her in the chest. Damon arrives and stakes her, much to the shock and surprise of
Stefan and Elena. Stefan later attacks Damon in their home and stakes him in the stomach, which, for a moment, makes Damon believe that
his brother actually killed him. Stefan says he’s only sparing him because he saved his life, but he’s done with him. In History Repeating,
Damon shows regret for killing Lexi and attempts to apologize to Stefan, declaring he won’t feed on a human for at least a week. While the
two are sarcastically impersonating one another, Stefan tries to get Damon to tell him why he’s returned to Mystic Falls. Damon
immediately shuts down and leaves, taunting Stefan once more on his way out. Later in the day, Damon steps up his harassment of Bonnie
in an attempt to get his yellow crystal back. He also reveals that he knew Bonnie’s ancestor Emily Bennett, who has been haunting Bonnie
through her dreams. He tells Bonnie to relay to Emily that “a deal’s a deal.” When he encounters Stefan at the Mystic Grill later, he refers to
Stefan’s personality as a ‘lesser place’ while impersonating him. The two brothers engage in a game of darts, where Stefan continually tries
to get the truth out of Damon.
Damon and Stefan play football.
They also play a short game of football, during which Stefan tries to convince his brother that their love for Katherine wasn’t real. He asks
Damon what he wants with Katherine’s crystal (the yellow crystal he’d been pursuing so long), and Stefan also reveals that he was the last
one to see Katherine the night she was taken away. Damon finally reveals his motivation for returning to their birthplace: “I’m gonna bring
her back.” He explains that he went to the witch Emily Bennett and begged her to spare Katherine, so the witch magically sealed Katherine
in a tomb beneath Fell's Church. He also says that, in order to gather the power into the crystal, Emily used the comet passing overhead that
night. Damon even says that the only reason he hasn’t killed Bonnie to take the crystal is because he promised Emily he would protect her
family.
When Elena calls Stefan to tell him about Bonnie leaving with the crystal, Damon overhears and vanishes from behind his brother. He
confronts Emily (in Bonnie’s body) in the woods near Fell's Church. When he nears her, she uses magic to throw him into a tree, where he’s
speared by a broken tree branch. Stefan arrives and pulls Damon down, but he’s shocked to learn that instead of just Katherine, Emily saved
twenty-seven vampires in the tomb, which is the reason she stands in the center of the clearing and destroys the crystal. Emily immediately
leaves Bonnie’s body, but, enraged, Damon bites her. He’s seen in the background, grieving the destruction of the crystal, apparently in a
state of shock. He’s seen again in the very end of the episode, sitting by the church staring sadly into space.
In The Turning Point, Damon and Stefan seem to have decided to leave Mystic Falls, but Damon continues to be humorous about it,
suggesting they try out for the ‘Amazing Race.’ Sheriff Forbes rings the doorbell while they talk, requesting to speak to Damon. She tells
him of another vampire attack and asks him what he thinks they should do. The moment he re-enters the house, Stefan assumes that he’s
killed someone, but Damon denies it. He taunts Stefan by seeming to care little about the ‘new vampire in town’: “What do we care? We’re
leavin’ anyway, right?” Not following his own humor, Damon gets Caroline to use the Gilbert Compass to track down the vampire, and they
end up at an abandoned warehouse.
Damon after encountering Logan.
Damon enters, but is shot multiple times by the newly transitioned Logan Fell, who accuses Damon of turning him into a vampire. Logan
keeps him there, questioning him about vampires, but Damon refuses to tell him how he can walk in the sun. After Logan leaves, Stefan and
Damon talk on the phone and Damon tells Stefan what happened to him in the warehouse. The two brothers team up and ambush Logan,
who has kidnapped Caroline and planned to turn her into a vampire. After Stefan leaves, Damon interrogates Logan and Logan reveals that
he knows about the tomb beneath the church. Expressing interest but pressed for time, Damon tells him to pretend to attack him and then get
away so they can meet up later. When Damon goes to the church to meet him, he’s shocked by a call from Sheriff Forbes, who thanks him
for leaving Logan’s body.
Damon and Elena eating together
Damon begins Bloodlines with a bang when he rescues Elena from her crashed SUV. When she awakens, Damon reveals that they’re in
Georgia. He takes her to Bree's Bar, where he reveals that he’s known Bree since she was a college freshman, and that she’s a witch. While
Elena’s on the phone, Damon questions Bree about another way to open the tomb, and he’s disappointed to find that there is no other way.
When she calls Stefan, Damon goes outside and asks if she’s okay, to which she responds, untrusting, “Don’t pretend to care.” Inside, the
two both eat a plate of fries with a burger while Damon explains that Elena can’t possibly be descended from Katherine, because Katherine
never had a child.
Damon, Elena, and Bree.
He also tells her that vampires can’t procreate, and that as long as he keeps a healthy supply of blood in his system, his body functions
normally (to digest human food). The two end up getting drunk together and doing shots at the bar, where Elena gets very, very intoxicated.
Damon’s later seen at the bar, where Bree asks him where Elena is. She seems to have vanished, but when Damon goes looking for her, he
falls into the trap of Lexi’s vengeful vampire boyfriend, who was originally understood to be human. Elena manages to save Damon’s life
by talking about Lexi, but, angry that Bree betrayed him and sent the vampire to kill him, Damon goes back to Bree’s Bar and confronts her.
She attempts to spare her life by telling Damon that there is one more way to get into the tomb, through Emily’s Grimoire, essentially the
book she uses to write down her spells. Damon kills by ripping her heart out. On the ride home, Elena points out that she saved Damon’s
life. At the very end of the episode, Damon goes to the Mystic Grill and requests a bourbon at the bar, where the new history teacher Alaric
Saltzman also happens to be sitting. Alaric has a flashback of Damon killing his wife, Isobel. In Unpleasantville, Damon is first seen
rummaging through the Salvatore library, where Stefan confronts Damon for taking Elena to Georgia. He later encounters Bonnie at the
Mystic Grill, saying “we need a fresh start.” She warns him to stay away from her, but the conversation is ended by Ben McKittrick, who
comes to Bonnie’s ‘rescue.’ Later he’s seen writing the names of the town’s founders, and Stefan brings him their father's journal, saying he
knew Damon was looking for it. Stefan assures him that the journal has nothing helpful in it, but offers his help to Damon if only Damon
will leave Mystic Falls. Suspicious of his motives, Damon rejects his offer. Damon also answers Stefan’s phone when Elena calls, telling her
that Stefan is on his way (relieving her worry that another vampire is in her home).
Damon harasses Bonnie and Caroline at the 50's Dance.
Damon comes over after Elena is attacked, and the two of them, realizing that he was invited in and therefore able to harm her at any time,
decide to go to the 50's Decade Dance to hunt the vampire down. Alaric Saltzman notices Damon enter with Elena and Stefan. Damon later
sarcastically asks Bonnie to dance, though he still seems to be trying to reconcile with her. He then asks Elena to dance, but she dances with
Stefan instead. While Damon is watching the two of them dance, he’s approached by Alaric, who wonders about his presence there. He asks
Damon a long series of questions, but when they become too personal, Damon becomes suspicious and stops answering, which leads to
Alaric leaving. Damon’s seen dancing with a blonde girl later, and Elena remarks, “You really can’t take him anywhere, can you?”
When her vampire stalker attacks her, Damon and Stefan come to Elena’s rescue, but Damon notices Alaric lingering near the cafeteria
door. When he confronts him, he attempts to compel him to tell him what he knows, and satisfied that he knows nothing, Damon leaves him
there. It is revealed that Alaric has Vervain crushed in his fist to keep Damon out of his mind, indicating that he was prepared for Damon to
confront him.
In Children of the Damned, Damon is first seen in a flashback to 1864, where he and Katherine feed on a stagecoach full of people. In the
present, Damon is sitting on the end of Stefan’s bed when Stefan and Elena wake up, happy to team up with them. He tells them they need
to find Jonathan Gilbert's Journal, which will hold the location of the Grimoire. In flashbacks, Damon is revealed to have a particular
distaste for his father’s opinion, while in the present, he’s in the Gilbert House talking to Jenna Sommers. When Elena arrives, the two of
them talk in the kitchen, and Damon questions the absence of Stefan. He asks Elena if he can trust Stefan’s help, asking her, for once,
without sarcasm.
Damon and Jeremy play video games.
This episode flashes again to Stefan and Damon in 1864, when Damon’s trust for Stefan was first broken. In the present, he and Jeremy are
playing a video game. Stefan arrives and tells him that the Gilbert Journal was missing. Damon realizes that Jeremy also knew where the
journal was, so he asks him who he showed it to. When he reveals that Anna knew about the journal, Damon takes him to meet her at the
Grill. Damon follows Anna back to her hotel room and attacks her, but as they’re at equal strength, he relents and they both release each
other. While Elena and Stefan are digging up Giuseppe Salvatore’s grave, Damon realizes that the Grimoire will be in his father’s grave. He
confronts Stefan and Elena at the grave, finding that they’ve betrayed him and they were going to stop him from bringing Katherine back.
Damon declares that he can only trust himself, though he seems hurt by the fact that Elena had him fooled (earlier she told him he could
trust her). In order to get the Grimoire from Stefan, Damon feeds Elena his blood and threatens to turn her into a vampire. Once he has the
book, the others leave and Damon recalls how he and Stefan were both killed trying to save Katherine. In Fool Me Once, Stefan comes to
Damon after Elena is kidnapped, but Damon refuses to help, not even giving up the location of Anna's motel room. He tells Stefan that he
hopes Elena dies. He goes to Bonnie’s grandmother, Sheila Bennett, looking for Bonnie, but when he threatens her, she uses her magic to
immobilize him. Anna suggest that Damon and she work together, but when she threatens Elena’s life, he agrees to it. When Elena comes to
Damon later, requesting they work together again, she takes off her Vervain necklace so he’ll know she’s honest. She also asks him why he
didn’t use compulsion on her in Georgia, to which Damon replies, “I wanted it to be real.”
Elena Hugs Damon.
He puts her necklace back on and tells her that he’s going to trust her. They gather in the tomb, and when the door is finally opened, Damon
takes Elena inside to make sure they won’t close the door back on him. He searches the inside with a blood-bag in his hand for Katherine,
and he’s devastated and enraged to find that she’s not there. He throws the blood at the wall, where it splatters, and he nearly refuses to leave
the tomb. It takes both Stefan and Elena to coax him outside, where he stares vacantly into space. Elena comes over and says that she’s
sorry, and she hugs him, though he seems too numb to react. He later appears in Anna’s hotel room, threatening her mother, Pearl, who was
retrieved from the tomb, and confronting Anna about knowing Katherine wasn’t in the tomb. Pearl tells him that Katherine got away, and
Anna points out that Katherine always knew where he was, but didn’t care. Stefan finds his older brother sitting by the fire, staring into the
flames. He sits nearby, but doesn’t speak.
In A Few Good Men, Damon is in a take of near-constant intoxication, indulging in compelled college girls with loud rock music playing in
the Salvatore Boarding House. When confronted by Stefan, Damon gives him a drunken speech about freedom, claiming that he’s perfectly
alright. Stefan questions him about a woman named Isobel, though Damon doesn’t seem to remember her. He says “Nothing is important.
Not anymore.” He speaks to Alaric again at the bar, though he still seems suspicious of him. Sheriff Forbes comes to sit with Damon,
hoping he’ll be one of the bachelors in the Bachelor Auction. Later, he tells Elena that he’ll be doing the auction, and, too drunk to do it
himself, he asks her to button his shirt. He also say “she left you, she sucks” instead of listening to Elena’s news about finding her birth
mother. Stefan questions Damon again about Isobel, and this time Damon realizes that someone else must want to know. When Alaric
mentions his dead wife, Damon realizes the connection between Stefan’s questioning and decides to torment Alaric about it. Little does he
know, the woman he killed was Elena’s birth mother, and when she confronts him about it, he reacts with extreme surprise. Later, in the
boarding house, Alaric demands to know what Damon did to his wife and where she is. When he attacks Damon, Damon stabs him, killing
him. He sits on the couch by the body until Stefan arrives, at which point he claims self-defense and leaves.
Damon is visited by Anna and Pearl.
In There Goes the Neighborhood, Damon is visiting in his home by Anna and her mother, Pearl. Realizing she’s stronger than him, he sits
down and listens to her. She reveals that some of the twenty-five vampires in the tomb are living with them in a farmhouse just outside of
town. She also knows about the Founder's Council and wants a list of their names. She wants their supply of Vervain to stop as well. It’s
Pearl’s plan to re-take Mystic Falls, and to get him to help her, she offers him Katherine’s location. He says that he doesn’t want to see
Katherine, but to further convince him, she pushes both of his eyes in, threatening his life. He later meets Kelly Donovan, the mother of
Matt Donovan and Vicki Donovan at the Mystic Grill, soon joined by Jenna. The three of them sit down and start drinking. Jenna leaves
when Damon and Kelly begin flirting more heavily, and somehow the two of them end up at the Salvatore Boarding House, where Stefan,
Elena, Matt, and Caroline happen to be on a double-date. The kids see them making out, which ruins their night. Stefan and Damon remain
at the house and are soon attacked by Frederick and Bethanne, two tomb vampires. Stefan manages to kill Bethanne, which sends Frederick
running. Damon’s first appearance in Let The Right One In is in the boarding house, where Damon, Stefan, and Elena are discussing what to
do about the tomb vampires. Damon storms out after Elena calls him a “self-serving psychopath with no redeeming qualities.” When Stefan
later goes missing, Damon appears at Elena’s house worried that neither of them have heard from the younger Salvatore. He and Elena drive
out to the farmhouse, where Damon demands Frederick let his brother go. He’s unable to enter the house because of a human resident.
Damon and Elena talk about rescuing Stefan.
She has been compelled to never invite Damon into the house. When he comes back to the car, he and Elena meet in the rain; Elena wants to
go in on her own, but Damon stops her out of concern for her safety. The two of them go to Alaric, and Damon lies to Alaric by insinuating
that Pearl would know something about Isobel because of her connection to Katherine. Damon continually refuses Elena’s attempts to help
them, eventually allowing her to drive the ‘get-away car.’ During the mission to save his brother, Damon manages to kill several vampires
without being badly injured, and when Elena and Stefan leave together, he and Alaric remain behind to face the tomb vampires. Pearl comes
back before they’re attacked, admitting that she had no idea Stefan was being tortured, and that it shouldn’t have happened. He’s at the bar
at the end of the episode, admitting to Alaric that he lied about Isobel. Alaric punched him and left the bar, but Damon seemed rather
unaffected. Damon comes home to find Stefan devouring as many blood-bags as possible. In Under Control, Damon tries to coax Stefan to
drink human blood to get his strength back. He even leaves his glass full of blood behind and sarcastically runs back to get it, smirking.
Damon is later seen attending a Founder's Council meeting, where he first encounters Elena’s uncle, John Gilbert.
After she begins fearing Stefan is out of control, Elena invites Damon over and asks him how long Stefan will be this way. While perusing
her room, Damon tells her that John is in the founder’s council, also suggesting that since Stefan was ‘under control’ so long, the Damonlike monster inside was fighting its way out. At the Founder's Day Kick-Off Party, Damon taunts Stefan about drinking to stop the blood
cravings. Damon later compliments Sheriff Forbes, who he calls ‘Liz’ in a friendly way. She tells him that they might have more vampires
in town, because what John Gilbert said about blood-banks being robbed was completely true. Damon seems suspicious when Jeremy asks
about Vicki Donovan. When they encounter one another at the bar, Elena asks if Damon knows what his brother’s been up to, and he says
he’s been too preoccupied with hers, expressing concern that Jeremy is asking so many questions. When John Gilbert and Damon talk
outside of the party, John reveals that he knows what Damon is, and Damon responds by snapping his neck and pushing him from the
balcony. Damon later reports to Stefan that he killed Elena’s uncle. Damon later sees John Gilbert standing to give a speech, and he
expresses shock and, to Alaric, points out that John is wearing the same ring. They talk again later (with Alaric present), and John reveals
that he knows Katherine and he knew Isobel; that he gave Alaric’s ring to Isobel in the first place. At the end of the episode, Damon leaves
another glass of human blood in Stefan’s presence, but this time Stefan drinks it.
In Miss Mystic Falls, Damon is visited by John Gilbert and Sheriff Forbes. John suggests that he and Damon work together to track down
whoever is stealing from the blood banks. Anna comes to visit him later, and though he warns her about the Founder's Council being onto
the tomb vampires, she says she hasn’t been to the blood bank in at least a week, and the other vampires are gone. Damon goes home and
confronts Stefan for being the thief, though he seems elated by Stefan’s new diet. He also finds Stefan’s fridge of human blood.
Damon dances with Elena.
John Gilbert comes back to the Salvatore Boarding House to tell Damon that he wants the Gilbert Device. He wants Damon to get it from
Pearl, who was ‘friendly’ with Johnathan Gilbert back in 1864. He rejects the idea of helping John, but when he sees Anna again at the Miss
Mystic Falls Pageant, he inquires about the device. Later, he comes to the changing room upstairs and tells Elena about Stefan’s fridge full
of blood. When Stefan vanishes before the dance begins, Damon steps in to escort Elena onto the dance-floor. When the dance is over, Elena
pulls Damon aside and they realize one of the contestants is missing. They search for him in the woods, only to find him feeding on Amber
Bradley. Bonnie arrives and manages to subdue Stefan, but, in his right mind again, Stefan flees.
Later, Pearl brings Damon the device she stole from Johnathan Gilbert as a peace-offering because Anna wants to stay in Mystic Falls. After
Elena tranquilizes Stefan, Damon carries him to the dungeon and locks him inside, and the two of them sit in the hallway together. This
continues in Blood Brothers, as Elena and Damon take turns ‘baby-sitting’ Stefan at the boarding house. The two brothers slowly let Elena
in on their history, how they both became vampires. Damon completes the story by telling her that Stefan forced him to feed on a human.
Damon also taunts Elena by telling her that Stefan prefers golden retriever puppy blood. Damon and Alaric also go on a quest for
information about Isobel, where they encounter one of the tomb vampires, Henry. The vampire reveals that John Gilbert has been working
with him to keep an eye on the other tomb vampires. They end up killing him and having a moderately deep conversation about searching
for their ex-lovers. Damon returns to Elena, where he concludes the story of their vampiric origin. Stefan later approaches Damon while he’s
drinking in the living room, and Damon tells him to stop feeling his guilt. He then says that he hated him for all those years not because he
forced him to turn, but “because she turned you.” Damon thought Katherine’s love was only for him.
In Isobel, Damon expresses distaste for Stefan’s new ‘cured’ personality while on the phone with Elena. He also seems concerned by Elena
meeting Isobel for the first time. While they’re meeting, Damon is pacing beside Alaric just outside the Grill. Damon explains that Isobel
has a ‘switch’ she can use to turn off her emotions, though he denies that he has humanity himself. Isobel later finds Damon in her
temporary home, playing a game of cards involving stripping. She attempts to threaten him, but Damon continues questioning her about the
Gilbert Device. When she kisses him, Damon pins her to the ground and threatens to ‘rip her to bits’ for what she said to Elena. He told her
to tell Katherine to come get the device herself.
Later, Elena tries to get the device from Damon so Bonnie can de-spell it; Elena hopes to trade the device for Jeremy, who has been
kidnapped by Isobel. Bonnie displays her powers by retrieving Damon’s favorite book, Call of the Wild, from the library shelf with only the
power of her mind. He admits that he doesn’t trust Bonnie, but he will trust Elena, so he gives her the device. Damon is also present for the
‘de-spell.’
When they make the trade with Isobel, Damon and Stefan are present. Elena asks Isobel how she knew Damon would give her the device,
and Isobel responds, “Because he’s in love with you.” After the exchange, he is standing in the same spot, silently watching Stefan and
Elena hug. Stefan later confronts Damon about it, but he seems to be alright with his love for Elena, because it means he’ll protect her.
Damon also reveals that John Gilbert is Elena’s real father, and he’s amused that the others didn’t put the pieces together as quickly.
In the season finale, Founder's Day, Damon is shocked when Elena arrives looking just like Katherine. When she and Stefan are on the
parade float waving to the crowd, Elena waves, smiling at Bonnie, and Damon appears between them and waves back. He then turns to
Bonnie and thanks her for de-spelling the device, surprising Bonnie with his sincerity. He sees Elena at the Grill later and tells her that he
likes her better in normal clothing. She says that Stefan is worried about their ‘friendship.’ When Damon overhears her attempting to
apologize to Jeremy, he’s angered by Jeremy’s response and follows him outside; he tells him to give his sister a break. Stefan ‘rescues’
Jeremy from him and insists Damon is only doing it for his own benefit.
While wandering around during the Founder's Day Celebration, Damon encounters Anna, who tells him the tomb vampires will be killing
the founding families as soon as the fireworks start. Damon goes straight to Alaric, and then to Elena and Stefan, who he warns to leave the
party as soon as possible. He goes to the building where John Gilbert is setting up the device, but, unfortunately, Bonnie never de-spelled it,
and it made him collapse. He was injected with Vervain and put in the basement of the Gilbert Building to be burned alive. Stefan, with the
help of Bonnie, manages to save Damon’s life.
After being rescued, Damon visits Jeremy to tell him about Anna’s death. He offers to wipe Jeremy’s memory again, but Jeremy tells him he
still feels ‘empty’ inside, and forgetting will fix nothing. He also admits that what he did to Vicki Donovan was wrong and apologizes for
his part in it. When asked if vampires can shut out their humanity, Damon told him the truth, not realizing that Jeremy was going to kill
himself. While leaving, Damon encountered who he thought was Elena on the porch. He thanked her for seeing something in him worth
saving, and after kissing her on the forehead, he kissed her on the lips, only to be interrupted by a very confused Jenna. It turns out this was
not Elena, but Katherine pretending to be her.
Season Two
Damon and Katherine kiss.
Damon and Katherine kiss Directly following the events of the season one finale, Founder's Day, Damon arrives at the hospital, expressing
worry to Sheriff Forbes about her daughter, Caroline. She tells him that the mayor, Richard Lockwood, is dead, but that he couldn’t have
been a vampire. He comforts her, but seems incredibly intrigued by the fact that Lockwood was affected by the Gilbert Device. When Elena
arrives at the hospital worried about Caroline. He points out that Bonnie doesn’t know how to cure Caroline with a spell, and offers to give
Caroline enough blood to make sure she lives. Elena turns it down immediately, but Bonnie agrees.
When Bonnie leaves, Damon attempts to bring up the fact that they kissed, but Elena blows him off, saying she has no idea what he’s
talking about. He grabs her arm, saying, “If you wanna forget this happened, fine, but I can’t.” Jenna arrives at that moment, telling Elena
something that Elena claims was never said. This is when Damon first realizes that Katherine Pierce is in Mystic Falls impersonating Elena.
He recruits Elena and heads back to her home, where they find Stefan, who had just got out of a fight with Katherine. The three of them sit
down in the dining room and talk about what Katherine wants, where Stefan asks Damon exactly what happened between them. Damon
admits he kissed her, thinking she was Elena, and Stefan attempts to attack him. Elena stops him, claiming that she wouldn’t do that. While
trying to formulate a plan, Damon leaves, declaring that he’ll just ignore her and see where that gets him.
Damon goes to the Lockwood Mansion and breaks up a fight between Carol Lockwood and Elizabeth Forbes, who are discussing the death
of the mayor. He questions Sheriff Forbes about Mason Lockwood and finds out that he’s Tyler Lockwood’s uncle, and the brother of the
mayor, but he knows nothing about the Founder's Council. When Bonnie goes to talk to Damon in the dining room, wondering if he’s
suspicious about both Tyler and the mayor being affected by the Gilbert Device, he ends up irritating her until she uses magic to hurt his
head. He later speaks to Elena out on the Lockwood’s porch, where she asks him how he’s doing. He doesn’t admit that he’s hurt until Elena
tells him that she’s surprised he thought she’d kiss him back. He also appears after Katherine stabs Stefan, trying to pick a fight with his
little brother, though he doesn’t seem too serious about it. Stefan warns him that Katherine will get between them, but Damon, sarcastically,
denies that it’s possible.
That night, Damon encounters Katherine in the Salvatore Boarding House, where the two share a heated kiss. He stops them before they
have sex, asking extremely modestly if she’ll just tell him the truth.
Damon hurt after Katherine tells him she never loved him
She tells him that she’s never loved him, which literally rockets him off the deep end. He shows up at Elena’s house drunk and angry,
demanding that Elena admit she has feelings for him. He forces her to kiss him, but when she denies him with the same line Katherine used,
“It’s always gonna be Stefan,” he seems momentarily emotionally broken. Jeremy interrupts, and Damon pins him to the wall and snaps his
neck. While Elena falls to her brother’s lifeless body, Damon steps further into the background, appearing to, in some capacity, realize the
magnitude of what he’s done. As The Return draws to an end and Elena declares her hatred for Damon, he’s seen hurling a glass into the
fireplace, his face contorted with anger.
In Brave New World, Damon is first seen having tea with Carol Lockwood. She asks Damon to spearhead the Founder's Council while she’s
acting as interim-mayor. He accepts just as Mason and Tyler come back to the house, and listens to their conversation about anger problems.
When Stefan comes home later, he seems to have occupied himself with investigating the Lockwoods’ family secret. He later attends the
Carnival, where he speaks to Jeremy. When Jeremy threatens to tell everyone about vampires, Damon grows serious and drags him behind
the concession stand, where he takes his ring and puts him in a headlock, pointing out how easy it would be to really kill him. He also
watches Mason and Tyler arm-wrestling, where he volunteers Stefan to go up against Mason. Stefan admits that he’s supernaturally strong
after losing to him, which further interest Damon. He compels a carnival worker to pick a fight with Tyler to make him angry. Later, the
newly-transitioned Caroline confronts Damon in the school hallway, telling him that she remembers everything he compelled her to forget.
He goes straight to Elena, and, along with Stefan, they meet in Alaric’s classroom. He is convinced that killing Caroline is the only thing
they can do, and, locating her by the dead body of her newest victim, he attempts to stake her. He’s stopped by Stefan the first time and
Elena the second, who bravely steps between him and Caroline. He’s in charge of disposing of the body, and when he says something
particularly crude in the presence of Bonnie, she sets him on fire. Elena manages to stop the witch before Damon is killed. When Damon
returns to the boarding house, Jeremy is there, and he’s laced Damon’s alcohol with Vervain. He admits that he was there to kill him, but
decided against it because of the blind hatred of his parents.
In Bad Moon Rising, Damon is first seen in the Salvatore Boarding House talking to Alaric, Stefan, and Elena, discussing if it’s possible for
Mason Lockwood and Tyler Lockwood to be werewolves.
Damon, Elena, and Alaric arrive at Duke.
They decide to go to Duke University, where Alaric’s wife, Isobel, still has an office full of research. Stefan doesn’t come, as he’s still
watching over Caroline, and when Damon taunts him for this, Elena kisses Stefan to spite him. Throughout the drive, Damon tries to
convince Elena that he knew Jeremy would come back to life when he killed him. When they arrive on campus, Isobel’s old research
assistant lets them into her office, but attempts to shoot Elena with a crossbow, as she knows who Katherine is. Damon moves in front of
her, taking the arrow in the back, and Elena is the one to pull it out. Alaric discovers a book describing ‘The sun and the moon curse.’ She
tells them that werewolves are hard-wired to hunt vampires, and that a werewolf bite is fatal to vampires. Disturbed by this, Elena calls
Stefan to warn him.
Damon gives Elena the Petrova Book.
Also, she asks Isobel’s research assistant what she knows about Doppelgangers, which seems to interest Damon. He taunts her again with
the information he claims to know. When Elena tells him that friends are supposed to help each other, he follows her to the car and gives her
a book, which bears Katherine’s original last name. He admits that he doesn’t want to lose their friendship forever. Near the end of the
episode, he walks her to her door, where she asks him if he honestly knew Jeremy was wearing the Gilbert Ring. He genuinely apologizes,
but Elena tells him that he’s lost her forever, revealing that she manipulated him to get information about Katherine. Hurt, Damon tells her
that she has much more in common with Katherine than her looks.
In Memory Lane, Damon appears in the Mystic Grill to taunt Elena about a party he’ll be attending at the Gilbert House. He wants to find
out more about Mason Lockwood, and throughout the evening, he continues to drop innuendos to Tyler’s uncle, like drawing a wolf while
playing Pictionary, and trying to get him to serve the pie with a silver utensil. Mason confronts him in the kitchen, hoping to keep the ageold rivalry out of their lives. Damon continues to antagonize him, suspicious about his presence in Mystic Falls. Eventually, he agrees to a
truce, but he takes a knife from Jenna’s silver set and follows Mason outside, where he stabs him in the stomach. Mason heals immediately,
warning Damon that he’s made an enemy. After Elena and Stefan have their fake fight at the grill, Damon leaves and encounters Katherine
outside, who he reacts to coldly.
Damon drinking the lemonade spiked with vervain.
In Kill or Be Killed, Damon continues to listen in on Stefan and Elena’s fake arguments, revealing that he knows it wasn’t real. He takes a
cup of lemonade from a little girl, but is shocked to learn that it’s been spike with Vervain. It was part of a plan executed by Mason
Lockwood to show Elizabeth Forbes that Damon was a vampire. Furious, Damon attempts to kill Mason, but he and Stefan are shot with
wooden bullets in the forest, falling right into Elizabeth’s trap. She takes them to The Lockwood Cellar, where she demands to know how he
can walk in the sun. Damon doesn’t tell her, but says that he thought they were actually friends. She shoots him repeatedly with wooden
bullets until, eventually, Caroline manages to save their lives. Damon feeds on one of the dead deputies and tries to convince Stefan to do
the same. And then, staggering because of his injuries, he confronts Sheriff Forbes, who asks him to kill her. Damon refuses on the basis that
they’re friends, keeping her locked up until the Vervain leaves her system so he can compel her to forget that he, Stefan, and Caroline are
vampires. Later, when he encounters Elena in the living room of the Salvatore house, she tells him that sparing Caroline’s mother was more
like the Damon that she was friends with.
In Plan B, Damon is visited by Jeremy Gilbert, who tells him that Mason Lockwood is looking for the moon stone. Alaric comes by later,
surprised to see Jeremy. He gives Damon the research from Isobel’s office. Damon wants Jeremy to retrieve the moon stone from Tyler,
and, upon finding out that Katherine and Mason are together, he speculates that Katherine wants the moon stone. The brothers ask Bonnie to
touch Mason Lockwood to find out what he wants with the stone. He also asks what’s happening when she ‘ju-jus’ his brain, suggesting
they do it to Mason or Katherine. Though he asks rudely, Bonnie agrees to help them. She uses her magic on Mason, effectively subduing
him so that they can capture him. Damon takes him to the Salvatore Mansion and chains him into a chair. While there, Bonnie attempts to
get into Mason’s mind, revealing that the moon stone is being kept in a well of some kind. When Mason grabs her, Damon pries his hand
away, thanking her as she’s leaving the room.
Damon tortures Mason Lockwood.
He cruelly tortures the young man by shoving a red-hot fire-poker into his chest repeatedly. He questions him about Katherine, but gets no
response. Jeremy later delivers wolfs bane, which Damon uses to further his torture of Mason. He shoves the plant into Mason’s mouth,
causing him immense pain. Mason reveals that he’s getting the stone for Katherine so she can lift the curse of the moon, because she
supposedly loves him. Seemingly entertained, Damon tells Jeremy to leave or get over his sympathy. After Jeremy leaves, he ends Mason’s
life by ripping his heart from his chest. Stefan arrives later, while he’s cleaning up the body, giving Damon the moon stone to hide. Finding
that the last number Mason dialed was Katherine’s, Damon calls her, much to Stefan’s disapproval. He taunts Katherine with Mason’s
death, angering her. After Jenna stabs herself, on Katherine’s compulsion, Damon confronts Elena and apologizes for provoking her.
During Masquerade, Damon participates in a conversation with Stefan and Caroline, claiming that he’s going to the Masquerade Ball to kill
Katherine. Bonnie comes over later, while Damon and Alaric are discussing weapons in the background. Stefan and Damon show up at the
Masquerade Ball with masks on, discussing how one of them might hesitate while killing Katherine.
Damon tries to stake Katherine
They meet up again after Katherine kills Aimee Bradley; Stefan wants to call the plan off, as he didn’t anticipate human death, but Damon
objects and they agree to go through with it. When they trap Katherine in one of the Lockwood Mansion’s rooms, they attack her viciously,
stabbing her multiple times with their supply of stakes. Jeremy arrives to tell them that their every action toward Katherine is being reflected
onto Elena, which stops the in their tracks. Katherine continually tries to hurt herself to cause Elena pain, but she’s stopped by the
Salvatores. She tries to make a deal with them; she wants the moon stone back. She also tells Damon that he used to be boring, and tries to
antagonize them by pointing out Damon’s love for Elena. Damon is the first to give in to her taunts, attempting to stake Katherine after
pouring her a drink. Stefan stops him, but Katherine continues to play with his emotions, wondering when Damon got so hot. The witch
Lucy Bennett uses the moon stone to subdue Katherine, apologizing to the brothers for her involvement with Katherine. Damon carries
Katherine’s body to the tomb, throwing both her and the moon stone inside. As he shuts the door, she tries to stop him by claiming that
Elena is in danger. He listens to her momentarily, but then shuts her inside. Damon, again, seems to have been emotionally affected by
Katherine as he walks away. In Rose, Damon appears at Caroline’s house, whose explaining how Tyler killed a girl at the Masquerade ball.
He questions what Caroline has told Tyler about him and Stefan, convinced he knows something. He tells her not to befriend Tyler. Later,
he talks to Stefan about Elena’s disappearance. He tells him that Katherine knew Elena was in danger. The two of them take a Vervain
grenade from Alaric and, using Bonnie’s instructions, go to rescue Elena.
Stefan and Damon team up to save Elena
Stefan thanks him for coming, but attempts to get him to admit he only came because he loves Elena. Before they get to Trevor and Rose’s
hideout, the two of them share a blood-bag, where Damon taunts him with the darkness in his past, wondering if Elena would ever ‘open her
veins’ to the old Stefan. The two have a brief conversation outside before coming in to rescue Elena from Elijah. Damon drives a large piece
of wood through Elijah’s chest, and while Elena is hugging Stefan, she mouths a thank-you to Damon, as well. Later, when Damon is
drinking at the boarding house, Stefan approaches and tells Damon they should learn to work together, or they won’t be able to protect
Elena. He also apologizes for making Damon turn into a vampire. Damon seems surprised by his words, and this prompts him to visit Elena
in her bedroom, where he reveals that he found Elena's necklace. He doesn’t give it to her at first, holding it as he tells her that he loves her,
but that he doesn’t deserve her; Stefan does. Tears can be seen in his eyes as he says this. He compels her to forget what he said and, after
returning the necklace, leaves her room.
In Katerina, Damon expresses immediate distrust toward Rose, who comes back to tell them that a legendary vampire named Klaus is after
Elena. He doesn’t want Elena to believe that she’s in danger. After Elena leaves to talk to Katherine, Damon spends the day with Rose. He
asks her if she knows where Klaus is, and convinces her to take him to see the vampire who supposedly knows where to look. When they
meet up with Slater at a vampire-friendly café, he threatens her against tricking him, but she proves that she’s much stronger than him by
turning the tables. She tells him that he can trust her, and the two of them go inside. Slater immediately recognizes Damon; he knows the
year he was turned and the person who turned him, which seems to make Damon suspicious. They talk about Slater’s very long link to
Elijah, which was severed when Damon killed him. Slater tells them that, if Elijah wanted the moon stone, he might’ve been planning to
break the vampire-side of the curse so that the werewolves wouldn’t break their side.
Damon, Rose, and Slater talk.
Damon wonders how to break the curse, but they’re interrupted by an attack from Elijah, who breaks the windows of the café. Rose is
seriously injured by sun exposure and Damon is forced to carry her back to the car, where she tells him that they’re all going to be killed by
Klaus. Later, Rose apologizes for the surprise attack, expressing a desire to save Elena. She tells him to turn the ‘switch’ off of his emotions,
and the two of them have sex. They’re seen sitting by the fire in their underclothes, where Rose points out that having a ‘switch’ is a lie, and
that they can’t actually shut off their emotions. Rose gets a call from Slater, who tells her she needs the moon stone to lift the curse, and a
witch to figure the rest out.
The Sacrifice begins with Stefan and Damon visiting Katherine together, as the moon stone is in the tomb with her. They come directly to
Elena’s home afterwards, explaining that she wanted out of the tomb, if they wanted the moon stone. They also tell her that they must
‘release’ the spell from the moon stone so Klaus won’t be able to sacrifice Elena. When Elena tells them that she doesn’t want Klaus to kill
everyone she cares about, both brothers express extreme surprise. Damon appears later during their meeting with Bonnie, where Jeremy tries
to convince them to let him retrieve the moon stone. While he’s planning to incapacitate Katherine to get the stone, Damon gets a call from
Rose, who tells them about Elena’s plan to give herself over to Klaus.
Damon threatens Elena.
She tells him that she would rather die than let Klaus kill the people she loves. He threatens her, grabbing her arm, and when she attempts to
hit him, he menacingly warns her to never do that again. Three men arrive and Damon immediately tries to protect Elena, even from Elijah,
who was supposed to be dead. Elijah flees, leaving Damon to drive Elena home on his own. The two of them bicker on the front porch, but
Elena is surprised to find an injured Jeremy waiting for her. When she finds that Stefan has been trapped in the tomb with Katherine, Damon
stops her from entering, restraining her against the doorway until she leaves. Stefan makes him promise to protect Elena while he’s unable
to.
In By the Light of the Moon, Damon visits Stefan in the tomb to tell him that they trapped Elena in her own house. He tries to give him
blood, but Stefan refuses, not wanting to share with Katherine. He comes to Elena’s house later to be one of her ‘babysitters,’ taunting her
about not being able to leave. She’s angry with him, but Damon continues to have a care-free attitude. He gets a call from Alaric, who tells
him that a woman from Florida has come searching for Mason Lockwood. He meets Alaric at the bar, who’s been having a conversation
with the woman.
Damon first introduces himself to Jules, the werewolf.
While Damon is distracting her, Alaric pours wolfs bane into her drink. Damon talks to her about Mason, claiming to be one of his friends,
but she responds suspiciously when he tries to get her to have a drink with him (in other words, to sip the wolfs bane so he can tell if she’s a
werewolf.) She doesn’t fall for it, able to smell the wolfs bane in his drink. Damon threatens her, but she responds by declaring how strong
she is on this night in-particular (the full moon). Alaric warns Damon to go home and stay inside, because one bite from the werewolf will
effectively end his life. He goes home, where Rose has been waiting. He acts coldly toward her as she tries to apologize about helping
Elena, admitting she has nowhere else to go. When Jules, the werewolf he taunted in the bar, leaps through one of the Salvatore’s windows,
she bites Rose’s shoulder before Damon stabs her, getting her to run off. The bite heals immediately, mystifying both vampires. Rose is
terrified that her life almost ended, and Damon comforts her with a hug. The two are seen again in the living room, where they begin another
heated sexual encounter, but they’re interrupted when Damon discovers that the bite on her shoulder has resurfaced. This is particularly
devastating news to Damon, because the two of them were just beginning to develop a friendship.
The Descent is focused around the aftermath of Rose’s werewolf bite. Damon cares for her, trying to convince her that she’ll get better.
When he looks at the worsening wound, he pretends that it’s getting better. He asks Elena to watch over Rose, but he rejects the fact that
he’s upset about Rose’s impending death. Damon goes from there to the Mystic Grill, where he immediately goes for Jules. Stefan stops
him, but he continues, sitting down at her table. Though he pretended he didn’t care about Rose, he asks how to cure a werewolf bite. She
won’t tell him, and she taunts him about how much pain Rose will be in, and how she’ll soon be rabid from dementia. He tracks Rose down
after she slaughters a man. He meets up with Elena, who he arms with a wooden stake. He stops Rose before she takes yet another victim,
pinning her to the ground in a parking lot. He comforts her when she realizes what she’s done, picking her up and carrying her back to the
Salvatore Boarding House. Damon watches over her after putting her back in his bed, where he reacts coldly to Elena’s presence. He also
snaps at Rose, denying that he cares about her. When Rose tells Elena that what it was like to be human ‘haunts her,’ he turns to watch,
surprised when she begins writhing in agony.
Damon stakes Rose to end her pain.
He sends Elena away, getting into bed with Rose and holding her against his chest. He sends her a dream of the place she was born and
raised, where the two of them sit together in a beautiful meadow. Just as she admits that she’s no longer afraid of dying, actually hopeful
she’ll see Trevor again, Damon stakes her to end her suffering. A tear goes down his cheek as he does this. He delivers her body to Sheriff
Forbes to explain the earlier attacks on humans and when he returns to the boarding house, Elena is waiting. She tries to comfort him, but he
denies that there’s anything wrong with him. He responds angrily, saying that he feels emotions, and that ‘it sucks.’ He feels guilty because
Jules was coming after him, not Rose. Elena hugs him anyway, and Damon’s eyes begin to visibly water. That same night, Damon is lying
in the middle of the road when a woman named Jessica stops her car to check on him. He tells her that he’s lost (existentially,
metaphorically). When he drinks alcohol from a flask, she runs back to her car, but he compels her not to move. He admits that he can’t be
what other people want him to be, and he tells her that he misses being human more than anything in the world, debating whether or not he
should kill her. After he tells her she’s free to go, he pursues her and kills her anyway.
Damon contemplates what he's done.
In Daddy Issues, Damon first appears in the shower, a very dark look on his face as he listens to a news report about the people Rose killed.
They mention the woman he killed in the road. He’s angry with Stefan when Stefan brings John Gilbert back to Mystic Falls in an effort to
save Elena. When Stefan tries to comfort him about Rose’s death, Damon reacts sarcastically and leaves. He goes to the Gilbert House,
where he demands to know John’s location. They share a distrust for John, where he says ‘I’m the good guy now, remember?’ Elena decides
to go with him to find John out of concern that Damon will harm him. They find John at the grill, where he’s interrupting Jenna’s date with
Alaric. He tries to get information out of him, threatening his life because he’s lacking his resurrection ring. His threat is ineffective because
John doesn’t trust him. When Jenna tries to get him to date her friend, Andie Star, he blows her off. Elena receives a call from Stefan
regarding Tyler Lockwood, and Elena and Damon have a heated discussion in the bathroom. He wants to kill Tyler because of what he
knows. Elena tells him to be the better man. When John arrives, wondering what’s happening, Damon tells John to keep Elena there so he
can go rescue Caroline, who is being held captive and tortured by Jules and her boyfriend, Brady. Stefan and Damon are almost killed
during this rescue, but they’re spared by the warlock Jonas Martin, who was working with Elijah. John later gives Damon a bottle of white
oak ashes and a silver dagger with which to kill an Original.
Damon bites Andie in the bathtub.
That night, Damon invites Andie Star to his house and the two of them share a bubble bath. Damon tells her that he’s in love with a woman
he can never have, and that he doesn’t trust himself around anyone. He says that he kills people, but he compels her to be unafraid. When
asked why he kills people, Damon says that he likes it, and that Elena wants him to be the better man, but his nature won’t allow it. While
kissing her, Damon slips down her neck and bites her, filling the bathtub with her blood.
In Crying Wolf, Damon has bandaged Andie’s neck, and they walk downstairs together. She reveals that she’s going to the Historical
Society Tea Party, something Damon invites himself to. He also gets her story straight so she won’t tell anyone he bit her, and he tells
Alaric, who has just come in, that she’s his new girlfriend. He tells Alaric about the dagger, and Alaric says that he and Jenna will also be at
the party. He claims his goal isn’t killing Elijah, but meeting him for the first time. At the party, which is being held in the large Lockwood
Mansion, Damon meets up with Andie, also greeting Carol Lockwood and introducing himself, officially, to Elijah. Damon and Elijah have
a conversation in the sitting room, where Damon questions his motives and goes so far as to physically block him from the exit. Elijah
responds with physical violence, stabbing Damon in the neck with a broken pencil.
Damon being tied down and tortured
Damon returns to the Salvatore home, where he and Alaric are talking about how difficult it will be to kill Elijah. After Alaric leaves,
Damon finds that someone has stabbed him in the stomach with a stake, and that same person leaps onto Damon’s back and injects him with
Vervain. Jules is behind the attack. She chains him to a chair, which is ironically similar to the way he tortured Mason Lockwood to death,
and questions him about the moon stone. Elijah shows up and kills four werewolves, saving Damon’s life for the third time. Later, while on
the phone with Bonnie, he’s told that Elijah and Elena’s deal called for Elena’s death. He calls Stefan and relays this information. During
The Dinner Party, Damon acts on his plans to kill Elijah. He’s first seen on the phone with Stefan. He tells his brother that Tyler Lockwood
has left town, leaving them with only one problem: Elijah. He reveals that he’s going to be careful when killing Elijah. He speaks with
Alaric, who expresses distaste with Damon and Andie’s relationship. He invites Jenna and Elijah, who have been speaking of historic
Mystic Falls, and Andie tells them they should have a dinner party. Damon jumps at the idea, and Elijah agrees. Damon goes to the tomb
and, now that the spell is lifted and he can move around freely, he brings Katherine blood and clothing, wondering if what John Gilbert said
about killing Elijah is true. Katherine tells him that if Elijah dies, she’s stuck in the tomb forever, begging him not to kill the Original. By
doing this, she confirms that it’s possible to kill an Original. Damon denies (to Alaric) that he’ll do anything to antagonize Elijah, but when
Alaric leaves the room, he pulls the dagger and the ash from its hiding place. The party continues into a tense dinner, where Damon and
John Gilbert, who arrived uninvited, prod Elijah for information. Meanwhile, Elena and Stefan figure out that if a vampire wields the dagger
and kills an Original, it will die. Stefan calls Alaric and warns him, who is barely able to stop Damon in time. When they return to the dining
room, Damon tries to convince Elijah to kill John Gilbert, and the two of them seem to put Elijah on the defensive. He threatens to take
Elena away and protect her himself, so neither of them will see her again.
In the middle of this, Alaric uses the dagger to kill him, and the two of them lock him in the basement. Alaric is angry that Damon plotted
Elijah’s death without him, and that he had to kill him with Jenna in the house. Stefan calls again to tell Damon that removing the dagger
will bring Elijah back to life, and, panicking, Damon runs down to the basement. He finds it empty. Knowing that Elijah will come after
Elena, Damon participates in a plan to bring him down, helping Stefan transport the body back to the basement. He finds the moon stone in
Elijah’s pocket and decides to hold onto it. Elena then tells both Salvatores that she doesn’t want to be kept in the dark anymore, if they truly
want her to keep fighting. They agree, and Damon wonders how he changed her mind; when Lexi is mentioned, Damon recalls the first time
he ever met her, and that he told her to take care of his brother. She warns him that his hatred will get the best of him, which is ironic,
because it eventually consumed his life. At the very end of the episode, Damon enters his room and finds Katherine naked in his shower.
She reveals that killing Elijah removed his compulsion over her, and that she was able to escape the tomb. She claims she wants to help him.
In The House Guest, Damon first appears as Elena is leaving the house. He attacks her and pushes her against the wall, believing she’s
Katherine and inevitably revealing to both Elena and Stefan that Katherine has escaped the tomb. It turns out that the person Damon
attacked was actually Katherine, and that when Stefan went back to his room to attack who he thought was her, he nearly choked Elena.
Damon talks to her down in the basement, where Damon is using a blow-torch on Elijah’s body. He wonders if she knew that using the
dagger would kill him, and, angry, he points the blow-torch at her instead. She continues to try to convince him that she wants Klaus dead as
badly as they do. She even told him that she didn’t care if he died, as long as she got out of the tomb. Damon remains in the house with
Katherine. He’s trying to find out where the witches were massacred. She antagonizes him and he ends up pinning her to the piano seat,
where she says she’s glad he’s not dead. She gives him sparse information about the location while also asking why he cares. Stefan appears
and suggests they find the Witch Burial Ground. When Luka Martin enters the Salvatore house using his mind, it leads into a scene between
Katherine and Damon in which she leans over his shoulder and points out how her old friend, Emily Bennett, was burned alive in the same
place the other witches were. Stefan comes they speak as if they’re at a loss, but use gestures to reveal information to each other so that
Katherine won’t know anything. Katherine calls for Damon when she’s attacked by Luka, and he pulls the stake from her stomach, using the
blow-torch to burn Luka alive. He later brings Katherine a blood-bag, but stabs her after she takes it, revenge for not telling him that the
dagger would take his life. She tells him that John Gilbert and Isobel want Damon and Stefan out of Elena’s life. He knew that killing Elijah
would get her out of the tomb, so he gave Katherine a choice: either she stay and help them with Klaus, or he would kill Stefan. Damon
points out that John Gilbert still tried to kill him, and Katherine tells him that, since she could only save one of them, she chose Stefan.
Damon tries to go to Elena’s aid when Jonas Martin comes after her, but Katherine stops him, as she plans to step into Elena’s place at the
house and kill him. He later tells Elena that it was Katherine’s idea in the first place. He hovers in the background as Elena and Katherine
argue, where Katherine tries to convince them that she’s not a threat. In his bedroom, Katherine jumps onto his bed in a very short dress.
Damon wonders how everyone knew that Emily Bennett was a witch back in 1864. He finds that Katherine was the one to expose her, and
she reveals that he knows where the witches were burned, because he would’ve been there. She tries to kiss him, but he pushes her off,
telling her to find somewhere else to sleep. This strengthens his resistance to the power Katherine has over him.
In Know Thy Enemy, Damon and Stefan are rushing downstairs, discussing why Isobel would show up on Elena’s doorstep. Katherine tells
them not to reveal her presence in Mystic Falls, because it would be easier to keep ‘swapping places’ with Elena if no one knew about her.
Damon, Bonnie, and Jeremy go to Jonas Martin’s apartment, where she tells Damon that if she can find the place where the witches were
burned, she can harness their power. Damon’s also in the living room when Katherine asks them all about their plan, which they refuse to
tell her. Damon, Jeremy, and Bonnie later go to the Witch Burial Ground, where a mansion stands. As soon as he enters, Damon finds that
the spirits there are vicious toward vampires, and they temporarily disable his ring so the sun will burn him. He manages to get out before
he’s burned too badly. While Bonnie and Jeremy work inside the house, he hovers on the porch. When he tries to enter, the door slams shut
of its own accord. Carol Lockwood and Sheriff Forbes call Damon when John Gilbert is ‘killed’ at a social gathering. He tells them that
John will come back to life and carries John’s body back to his house. His hands are bloody, so he washes them, and after receiving a frantic
call from Stefan, he finds that Katherine has taken the moon stone from the soap dish, where he ‘cleverly’ hid it. He finds the place where
Katherine is most likely to be hiding, and he and Stefan find Isobel’s bags inside. At this point, Katherine, Elena, and the moon stone have
gone missing. After Elena is released and Isobel dies in the sunlight, Damon approaches with the deed to the house, which will make Elena
the owner. When she signs it, the Salvatore Boarding House will be inaccessible to any vampires she doesn’t allow inside. Damon and
Stefan figure out that Bonnie is their ‘secret weapon,’ now that she’s harvested the power of the dead witches.
In The Last Dance, Elena signs the deed, giving her ownership of the house. Outside, Damon and Stefan talk about Klaus. Damon wonders
if she’s dead, though he seems rather disturbed by the idea. Once they’re finished, Elena invites Stefan in immediately, but makes Damon
promise to listen to her. After Klaus sends Elena a message telling her that he’ll be at the dance, Damon invites Alaric to the house and tells
him to put him down as a chaperone. He attacks Bonnie, trying to prove that she’s not strong enough, but she blows him across the room,
revealing that she can kill any vampire, no matter how strong. At the dance, Damon suggests that everyone blend into the party. He goes to
talk to Alaric, unaware that he’s actually Klaus. Elena wants to warn Caroline and Matt about Klaus, but Stefan decides to do it himself,
calling Damon over to dance with Elena. Damon is lucid and comforts Elena while they dance, drawing a few giggles despite their serious
situation. He later dances with Bonnie, as he heard her and Jeremy talking earlier. He wants to know if killing Klaus through magic will kill
her, and he wonders if there’s any way to keep her alive. After Klaus reveals his identity, Damon sends Elena to find Stefan, grabbing
Bonnie and making a plan with her to fake her death so Klaus will give up in his attempts to kill her. He returns when Elena is grieving over
Bonnie’s lifeless body, coldly telling them he’ll deal with it. When he gets back to the house, having dealt with the body, Elena accuses him
of knowing what would happen, and she slaps him. He finally explains that it was all a plan to save her life and keep her as their secret
weapon. He leaves her there, but Stefan follows, upset that he didn’t tell him about the plan and that he put Elena through so much
emotional pain. Damon calls it ‘collateral damage,’ assuring Stefan that, at the end of the day, he’ll keep Elena alive regardless of the cost.
This is brought up again when Elena visits him in his room. She tells him that she won’t let Bonnie die for her and he responds in a similar
way, telling her that he would let anyone die to keep her alive. Her life will always be his first choice.
In the episode Klaus, Damon sees Andie off to work while Stefan searches for Elena. He follows Stefan to the basement, where they find
that Elena has brought Elijah back to life. He’s convinced Elena will get herself killed, deciding to do something about it regardless of
Stefan’s resolution to trust Elena. He and Andie go to Alaric’s apartment, where Katherine is being held prisoner. Damon can’t enter, due to
the fact that Alaric is still alive and hasn’t invited him in, so he talks to Katherine through the door, offering her a small vile of Vervain,
which will protect her from Klaus’ compulsion, in exchange for the answer to a question: he wants to know why she turned on them with
Isobel. She admits that she knew they wouldn’t be able to kill Klaus, and, pointing out where that betrayal got her, Damon hands over the
Vervain. He returns as Elena is trying to leave again and physically restrains her, antagonizing Stefan. Andie tries to comfort him as he
drinks by the fire, but he sends her away, leading to Stefan’s entrance. Stefan darkly thanks him for being in love with Elena, if only it
means Elena is being protected. The two get physical when Stefan claims that he has one thing Damon will never have: Elena’s respect.
Elena appears with Elijah and stops them, explaining that Elijah knows a way to bring her back to life after she’s sacrificed. Elijah only
requests an apology, which Damon refuses to give. He leaves angry and encounters Andie, in only her bra and underwear, waiting in his
room. She wants to comfort him, but his anger gets the best of him and he bites her. He shows remorse by gently telling her to leave again,
before he accidentally kills her. He’s last seen sitting there with watering eyes and bloody lips, staring after her.
In The Last Day, Damon is lying in bed listening to Elena, Stefan, and Elijah talk about the sun and moon curse. He approaches after Elijah
describes how powerful Klaus will be, wondering why they can’t just kill him beforehand. He suggests that they go through with their
original plan to let Bonnie kill him, channeling the power of the witches, but Elena objects because a spell that powerful would claim
Bonnie’s life. Damon replies sarcastically, saying he’ll write her a good eulogy. When Elijah reveals that Klaus will truly have to kill Elena
to complete the ritual, Damon becomes aggressive, rejecting that the Elixir will work and positive that Elena won’t survive this new plan.
After leaving, drink in hand, he’s approached by Stefan, who would rather trust Elena’s choices. Damon rejects that idea, and when Elena
later comes to his room to assure him that he won’t lose her, he forces her to drink his blood as a more definitive way of making sure she’ll
come back to life – as a vampire. Stefan intervenes and the two have a violent fight, which ends in Damon stabbing his brother through the
stomach with a large piece of wood. He leaves angry once again, speaking briefly to Elijah in the sitting room. Elijah tells him that vampire
blood nullifies the Elixir, pointing out that Elena will never forgive him for what he’s just done. Damon then goes to the grill, where he and
Alaric are approached by Klaus. The Original warns him against protecting Elena, or doing anything ‘stupid,’ telling him that the ritual
would be happening that very night. Being himself, Damon does just that, visiting Katherine in Alaric’s apartment to ascertain the location
of the vampire and werewolf Klaus will be using as sacrifices. She unwillingly tells him to go to the tomb, where she says both Tyler
Lockwood and Caroline Forbes are being held. He’s nearly stopped by the warlock guarding the tomb, but assisted by Matt Donovan, who
he subsequently knocks unconscious for turning a high-powered rifle on him. Damon receives a call from Stefan as they are fleeing through
the woods; Elena has already been taken by Klaus. Then, to make matters worse, the full moon bears down on them and Tyler begins his
transformation, putting both Damon and Caroline in great danger. Tyler tries to bite Caroline immediately but Damon blocks him, receiving
a bite on his forearm, near the crook of his elbow.
Klaus reveals to Damon that he always has a back-up plan.
Damon goes straight from there to Alaric’s apartment, where Klaus has been staying. He boasts about what he’s done to keep Klaus from
completing the ritual, but Klaus reveals that he has the werewolf Jules as a backup. Klaus then knocks Damon unconscious, and when
Katherine wakes him up, he demands to know why Klaus didn’t use him in the sacrifice, instead of Jenna Sommers. Katherine tells him that
Klaus said Damon was already as good as dead, questioning him about the bite on his arm. Damon admits that he was bitten by a werewolf,
which both of them know means the death of a vampire.
Damon bitten from Tyler
As the events of the ritual begin (The Sun Also Rises), Damon and Katherine are still in the apartment, examining the wound on his arm.
Katherine seems upset that he’ll die, but Damon reacts coldly because, again, she chose to save herself instead of Jenna. He returns to the
Salvatore Boarding House, and he seems to be in pain from his bite, as his walk falters when he goes to answer the knock of John Gilbert.
He tells Elena’s father that Klaus has Elena, but that, since she has his blood in her system, she’ll come back as a vampire. The two of them
go to the Witch Burial Ground, where he has a heated conversation with Alaric. He still appears to be in pain, which concerns Alaric. He’s
present for the conversation about transferring John’s life-force into Elena’s body, though he seems to think it won’t work.
Damon kills Greta
He impatiently waits for the spell to be complete. Bonnie and Damon head out, leaving Alaric in the house. As Bonnie goes through with
her plan to kill the transitioning hybrid, Damon kills Greta Martin and retrieves Elena’s lifeless body. He carries her back to the old witch
house and sets her on the couch in the main room, waiting by her side. When Alaric asks about Jenna, he gives him a sad look and a genuine
apology. As Elena comes back to life, Damon makes sure she’s not in transition, and he’s extremely relieved that she’s alright. After the
ritual, Damon attends the funeral of Jenna Sommers and John Gilbert, where he tells Stefan about his werewolf bite. Stefan assures him that
they’ll find a cure, but Damon believes that he’ll soon die. He doesn’t want Elena to know so she won’t have another grave to mourn. This
story continues in As I Lay Dying; Damon goes to Elena’s house to earnestly ask for her forgiveness, not because he wants it, but because he
needs it. Unaware that he’s dying, she asks for more time to consider forgiving him, and Damon agrees wholeheartedly. He returns home
and, directly after pouring himself a drink, he removes his sunlight ring in front of the window, planning to let himself burn to death. Stefan
stops him and locks him in the basement, where Damon begins coughing up blood. His condition deteriorates rapidly from that point. He
starts hallucinating about his time with Katherine in 1864, and the choices she gave him while they were together, such as feeding from her.
The wound on his arm is significantly larger by the time Alaric comes by to watch over him. Damon grabs Alaric’s neck with one hand,
begging his old friend to kill him, but Alaric knocks him back and refuses.
Damon collapses after biting Elena
As he lays on the ground, he whispers Elena’s name. Later, Elizabeth Forbes shows up with her deputies, but inevitably sets Damon free. He
wanders through the showing of “Gone with the Wind,” where he’s found and escorted to the Mystic Grill by Jeremy. The sheriff finds them
here and tries to shoot Damon, but when Damon flees, Jeremy is shot instead. He goes back to the movie, wandering around behind the
screen, and encounters Elena. His hallucinations have become more extreme, and he pictures himself feeding from Katherine’s neck back in
1864, transferring that memory to Elena in the present. When he realizes that he’s biting Elena, he stumbles back and collapses. She hits her
knees beside him, holding him against her chest as she searches for someone to help them.
Elena kisses Damon.
Elena takes Damon back to his room, where she watches over him. Damon worries that he’ll be dangerous like Rose, but Elena refuses to
leave his side. She gets into bed with him and holds his head to her chest, where Damon talks about the bad decisions he’s made. He tells
Elena to apologize to his brother for him, admitting that he deserves to die, after everything he’s done. He apologizes to Elena again and
tells her that he loves her, which brings tears to her eyes. He then tells her that she would’ve liked him better as a human, to which she
responds she likes him now, the way he is. She kisses him just before Katherine arrives to deliver the cure, which she says Stefan paid for by
giving himself over to Klaus. She tells Elena that it’s alright to love both Salvatores, because she did. She leaves and Elena and Damon
remain to contemplate what’s going to happen to Stefan.

map of Stefan and Klaus movement, Damon is recording all the reports of animal attacks, tracking Stefan and Klaus' trail as he doesn't want
to involve Elena.
Andie is able to get Damon the address of the last victim's family member, to where Alaric and Damon travel. As they, Alaric and Damon
enter the house, they find blood splatters on the furniture and walls. Two female bodies are in a sitting position on the couch. Damon
immediately recognizes that Stefan did it, by the way the bodies were ripped apart, then pieced back together. The duo find a trap door that
leads to a basement where chains were kept, making them believe werewolves sometimes came there or the two girls were werewolves
themselves. Afterwards, Damon sets fire to all the evidence of the remains of the two ripped apart girls.
Damon returns Elena's necklace to her much to her delight.
As Elena is dressing for her birthday party, Damon arrives and gives her a present which is actually the necklace she had lost, saying Alaric
found it in his apartment. He accompanies her downstairs, where they find a huge party going on. Appearing to be worried about Andie's
whereabouts and her being late for the party, he travels to her workplace, finding Stefan there. Stefan compels Andie to stand on top of a rig
and stay there until he commands her to move. When he tells her it is alright to move, she falls towards the ground. Stefan attacks Damon
and keeps him against the wall, keeping him from saving her. It was his message to Damon, telling him to let him go. When he gets back to
the house, Elena confronts him about all the leads he was gathering, and he tells her to stop looking for Stefan, because he's gone and never
coming back and also that the Stefan, Elena use to know isn't there anymore.
Elena is still headstrong on bringing Stefan back, determination-fueled as she believes he called her. Damon still doesn't want to help her,
and burns the papers containing the data he's been collecting. After Elena ropes in the help of Alaric and headed off the mountains in search
of Stefan, Alaric secretly contacts Damon and tells them where they are, as he doesn't want Elena there without being protected. Damon

otherwise.

where Stefan saves him. Damon appears in Elena's room, telling her that he will help her bring Stefan back, because even in his darkest
place, he still wouldn't let him die. Damon doesn't want to compel her, he wants the time they spent together to be real and he also wants her
to remember what she felt for Damon in Stefan's absence.
Katherine calls Damon with news that Stefan and Klaus are in Chicago. Damon informs Elena of it, and they drive to Chicago. They first go
to visit Stefan's old apartment, where Damon shows Elena Stefan's list of killings. Damon then goes to Gloria's Bar, asking Gloria where
Stefan is. Gloria proves a bit helpful, telling him that they will be back later that evening. Elena and he concoct a plan where she will be able
to talk to Stefan and Damon will distract Klaus. As Elena talks to Stefan, Damon faces Klaus, almost being killed if Gloria hadn't saved him.
Katherine again calls Damon, and he tells her she was right but unfortunately they couldn't get him back.
Damon and Elena
After Stefan broke up with Elena, Damon keeps a eye on her by helping her make chili for the Founders Party, to make sure she doesn't
break down. Elizabeth later requests the help of Damon to compel her ex-husband Bill to leave town. Alaric later approaches Damon and
tells him to take a beat, meaning to stay away from Elena. At the council's meeting, Elizabeth reports that there hasn't been any vampire
attacks. Bill then enters, accusing them of being blind, baffling Damon how Bill could have resisted compulsion.
As Damon, Elena, and Alaric walk out of the Lockwood mansion arguing about the return of Bill and whether or not vervain should be
added to the water supply, they believe now that Stefan's not there, Damon needs help to keep himself in check. Damon temporarily kills
Alaric as he didn't let him past.

feeding off of him. Caroline intervenes and feeds him some of her blood to heal him. Damon and Caroline fight, and she runs off with her
father.
Elena enters and they argue about him being so reckless, and that she doesn't want him to be that way. Damon replies that he's not Stefan

everyone wants to change him. Katherine shows up at the front door with Elena's necklace, offering him to go on a road trip, to find a way to
beat Klaus once and for all.
Damon and Katherine and driving away from Mystic Falls. Along the way, Katherine pities Elena for trying to change Damon, and tries to
seduce him, only Damon resists. He stops the car, demanding to know what Katherine's plan is. She tells him that Klaus is searching for the
necklace, and that means she has leverage. She shows him that she has Jeremy in the boot. Katherine reveals that Pearl had information on a
vampire hunter that could kill the Originals. Pearl had shared all her information with Anna, but with them both dead, Jeremy is the only one
able to contact her, which is why Katherine kidnapped him.
After Damon hurts Jeremy, Anna's ghost is quick to tell them her secrets, and give them a name: Mikael. Katherine had been keeping
Damon's phone and Damon demands it back, where he finds out that Bonnie has been searching for him and Klaus is back in town.
Damon goes back to town, having a face down with Klaus, scaring him away by telling him Mikael has been released. He then goes to save
Elena, and takes her back to the boarding house, where he tells her he will never leave her again. Stefan interrupts them, informing them he
will be staying there to keep a eye on Elena for Klaus' sake. Damon finds out that Stefan is holding parties in the house where he is
recklessly drinking from young girls if they loose a game of Twister. Rebekah enters, telling them that Klaus left her alone. She walks off to
find herself a room, even after Stefan and Damon denied her the invitation of staying there. Damon calls Katherine to find out how far she is
with waking Mikael, but unfortunately she has had no luck. Damon then calls Elena at school, telling Elena rather not to visit their house not
only because of Rebekah, but because Stefan is wild.
Learning Vampire 101Elena is training at Alaric's apartment, and Damon comes to give her a lesson on where a vampire's weakpoint is, and
where she could stake one. Alaric, Damon, Elena, and Caroline devise a plan to capture Stefan and lock him up. Tyler disagrees with the
plan, and Damon figures out that he's been sired and so is loyal to Klaus because his blood transformed him.
Damon distracts Rebekah with his charms, but she suspects that he has only been distracting her and trying to hide something from her. She
stabs him with a piece of wood and walks away. Later, at the Salvatore boarding house, Damon is applying first aid to Elena's face after she
almost got barbecued. They both talk about how they acted that night, and how they executed their plans. Damon is later knocked
unconscious, and it is revealed to be Mason who attacked him.
Damon tied to a chair with a hit poker in his chest. Damon believes it to be Stefan that did it, but Mason had actually been the one who
tortured him. Damon drives downtown to the set-up of the Night of Illumination, telling Bonnie that she screwed up with the spell, and that
she needs to fix it, because Mason is after him for revenge. Alaric and Damon are at the bar when Mason appears, hitting Damon in the head
with a glass. Mason tells him that he only wants a apology. Damon gives him an apology that he doesn't really mean and Mason accepts,
telling him they should meet down at the old Lockwood cellar, where he will help him with the Klaus problem.
Alaric with Damon and Mason.
Damon goes to the cellar as he had hit a snag in his other lead to defeat Klaus. Damon breaks through a wall that reveals a tunnel, and the
duo traverse through it. Unexpectedly, Damon is stabbed with wooden stakes from different directions. Mason goes to fetch a shovel to
break the stakes apart, and then removes them.
Damon can't believe Mason trusts him after all he's done. Mason confesses that he's not after revenge, but redemption, and that he wants to
help Tyler. They find a cave, but somehow Damon can't enter it, and Mason goes on ahead. When Bonnie does the spell to send the ghosts
back, Mason disappears, and Damon is in need of a person to get into the cave. He calls Alaric, as he's the only person Damon trusts other
than Elena who he doesn't want to place in danger. Damon repeats the same apology to Alaric, but meaning it this time.
He frees Stefan from his captivity in the cellar and goes to a bar with him. There they talk about brotherly bond and he helps to hide the fact
that Stefan bites the barkeeper several times. They meet Mikael who says he will rip Damon's heart out if Stefan doesn't tell him where he
can find Klaus. Then, he spares Damon after Stefan says he could lure Klaus back to Mystic Falls. Outside, Damon beats Stefan and goes
away. At the Gilbert house he lies in Elena's bed and when she lies down as well, she states that Damon maybe will be the only one who can
save Stefan.

Gilbert House after Klaus almost killed Jeremy and splits the news. Then he and Elena go to the Witch House, trying to find Stefan. While
waiting outside because the witches don't want to let him in without burning his skin, Elena talks to Stefan unsuccessfully. Finally, he bares
to go inside the house to talk to his brother. Damon beats the truth out of Stefan by staking him in the stomach several times. Stefan reveals
that he saved his brother because Klaus' hybrids would have killed Damon. After telling him to stop saving his life, Damon leaves. Later,
Stefan reveals that the dead witches are hiding the coffins, making them invisible for Klaus. After he came to Elena's house, she gets Damon
to compel Jeremy. Damon sits down and compels him to leave town to go to Denver. Outside, he and Elena discuss if it was right to compel
Jeremy and they also talk Stefan. Damon thought he doesn't have to feel guilty anymore and is about to go. Then, however, he says he only
has one thing to feel guilty about now and they share a passionate kiss.
Damon kisses Elena
Damon takes a shower and then teams up with Stefan to go to the Witch House because they are meeting Bonnie. They find out that a hybrid
was there and Damon killed him by ripping his heart out. At the house he sums up that three Originals are in the coffins but there are four
coffins. He goes with Alaric to a fundraising for the Wickery Bridge. As they talk about Elena and that there is something changing with
her, Damon leaves and finds Klaus talking to Carol.
He has to find out that Klaus has convinced the mayor that his hybrids would protect Tyler and the town. After Stefan captured Elena and
wanted her to turn into a vampire, he calls Damon, informing him. Then, Damon talks to Klaus that he has no idea if Stefan is really going
to kill Elena and advises Klaus to obey. He picks up Elena after Klaus obeyed to get his hybrids out of Mystic Falls and takes her home. He
hopes she will be okay and leaves. He went with Elizabeth and they find Brian, Meredith Fell's ex-boyfriend, staked although he's not a
vampire.
He gives Bonnie and Elena the information about Abby. He later meets Alaric in the Grill and they talk about Meredith Fell and Damon
hints that she could have killed her boyfriend. To talk to Meredith, he went to the hospital and accused her of having killed the medical
examiner. When Damon was about to go, Meredith injected him with vervain to take his blood. He then wakes up and went to Alaric, telling
him what his "girlfriend" has done.
Damon went to the Witch House, unaware of Klaus following him. He found out that the coffins were them and after the spirits stopped
torturing him, Klaus got them to show him the coffins. After he figured out the fourth was gone, he threatens Damon that he will rip out his
heart. After Klaus took the coffins, Damon went home and Stefan came in. They have a conversation where Damon asks how Elena is. As a
response Stefan punched him, hard, because Elena told him she had kissed Damon. Damon states he doesn't want to talk about it. He then
holds up a White Oak Ash Dagger which he has removed from Elijah's heart, bringing him back to life again.
Damon at the dinner hosted by Klaus.
Damon is with Stefan at the dinner hosted by Klaus. Before that, he had met up with Elijah, and they spoke. He helps Elijah remove the
daggers from the Originals and bring them back to life. Then, he leaves and lets Elijah, Rebekah, Kol, and Finn take care of Klaus. After

Elena.
Damon is with Stefan and Elena at the Gilbert house when discussing how Esther was in the coffin, and when Elena receives her invitation
Damon does not want her to go because it is dangerous. Damon is at the ball talking to Carol when Elena shows up. He tells Elena she is not
supposed to be there but then offers his arm, along with Stefan, to Elena as they accompany her to the Mikaelsons' ball. He tries to protect
Elena from the Original Witch, Esther, saying that it is to dangerous to go and he won't let her. Damon then offers his hand to Elena with
Stefan looking on as they go and dance together. Damon tells Elena that she looks stunning.
Damon and Elena dancing When it is time to switch partners, Damon ends up dancing with Rebekah. Damon is then shown walking into a
room where Stefan is informing Elena he got her text, but he has his neck broken by Stefan who respects Elena's decision to meet Esther.
When he wakes up, he is angry at Stefan but then understands Elena's decision but he then implies to Stefan that he cares too much and is
not happy about the revelation. Damon finds Elena and tells her they are going home but Elena refuses. Damon says he is just trying to
protect her and tells her that he is mad because he loves her. Elena then says that his love is a problem and Damon is severely hurt.
Damon seduces Rebekah.
When Kol tries to kill Matt, Damon, who is now unstable and angry, saves Matt and throws Kol from the balcony and breaks his neck.
Damon, who is now drunk, goes up to Rebekah and they talk a little and after some persuading, they sleep together.
Damon is in bed beside Rebekah. When Damon and Rebekah go to the door, Elena is standing there looking shocked. Damon turns Bonnie's
mother in to a vampire in order to break the witch bond with Esther. Later, it is revealed that Stefan lost the coin toss and should been the
one to turn Abby into a vampire.
Damon spends some time with his brother in the time after that. He is worried because Stefan refuses to drink blood.
Damon wants to help Stefan learn moderation and teach him how to control his bloodlust instead of being controlled by it. Damon promises
whenever Stefan would go too far, he would pull him back. When Stefan asks why he would do this, Damon confesses to Stefan that he is
all that he has left.
Damon enlists Sage's help to get into Rebekah's mind and see what she is hiding. He ends up sleeping with Rebekah, and through Sage's
special ability to get into people's minds, she discovers that White Oak tree from the Old World which potentially could kill the Originals is
not totally burned down.
Damon then looks through old records from his bookshelf, and discovers that the White Oak was used to make Wickery Bridge. He then
goes to Wickery Bridge to retrieve the Oak, only to be disappointed as Rebekah is burning it. Damon reveals to Stefan he sold his rage to
Sage after she crossed him by telling Rebekah about the White Oak, and that Rebekah left out a part of the bridge made of the same white
oak: the Wickery Bridge sign.
Damon burning the milling ledgers
Damon meets Elena at the door and refuses to let her in. He assures her that the history teacher is okay. She suspects he is up to something
but eventually takes his word for it. Alaric, Stefan, and Damon have spent the night turning the old Wickery Bridge sign into a white oak
stake. Apparently, Rebekah's more than a bit annoyed at Damon for seducing her and then using Sage to read her mind so she sneaks into
the Salvatore boarding house and knocks Alaric out.
Rebekah torturing Damon
Before Damon can figure out what's happening, Rebekah's within kissing distance. She greets him as her lover. She then stabs Damon in the
gut. Damon dreams that Elena has come to save him. When he wakes, he realises that Rebekah planted the dream in his mind. Once he finds
out about the bloodline issue, Stefan marches over to Klaus. He drops a bag filled with eight of the remaining daggers on the floor, tells
them Finn is dead, and offers to trade the weapons for Damon. It sounds too easy but Klaus compels a nearly drained Damon to go home.
Before Damon amputates his own hands in an attempt to free himself from the chains, Klaus tells Damon to stop. Then, he compels Damon
to tell him how many stakes really exist and Damon tells him the truth that there are eleven. This prompts Klaus to make a big speech about
how he gave Stefan's life purpose by giving him something to hate. He's so full of himself that Stefan can't help but try to kill him. Klaus
easily squashes his attempt. Then, Rebekah frees Damon and tells Stefan that if he turns in the remaining three stakes she and Klaus will let
them live. Later, Damon goes over to Alaric's to get the last stake but Alaric can't find it. Its been moved from its hiding place behind the
bookshelf. After snarking Alaric for hiding it in such a cliched place, Damon asks if Alaric is really telling him that he is missing a stake that
could kill his line of vampires. Alaric tells him that is what he's saying.
Damon after Dr.
Fell told him that she had given Elena vampire blood.
Much later, in a fight with Alaric after leaving town, Alaric dies. Damon realizes with horror that this means Elena is dead. He begins to
break down, realizing that he has lost his best friend and the girl that he loves. He goes to the Mystic Falls Hospital, demanding to know
where Elena is. Meredith tells him that she injected vampire blood into Elena to heal her cerebral hemorrhage, and that she would have died
without her help.

Physical Appearance
Main Article: Damon Salvatore/Appearance
Damon appears to be in his mid-20s, has light blue eyes and dark brown hair that goes to just below his earlobes, and is styled in a casual
disarray style. He's pale and has a good physique, toned and fit, and he knows it; he has a big ego. Damon usually wears darker clothing:
black boots under dark jeans, a black shirt, whether just a t-shirt or button up depends on the occasion, and is rarely seen without his leather
jacket.
Personality
Damon was originally a very free-spirited young man, who was best friends with his younger brother Stefan Salvatore, instantly smitten
with the vampire Katherine Pierce. His carefree life fell apart when Stefan betrayed Damon by alluding to their father that Katherine was a
vampire; information that resulted in Katherine being trapped and taken to a church to be burned. Damon loved Katherine deeply and
recklessly, not caring that his father was shamed of him, and doing whatever he could to get her back, even if it resulted in his death. After
he became a vampire, he left Stefan’s side, wanting no part in the life of the man who betrayed him. He selfishly kept the fact that Katherine
was still alive from Stefan, jealous that his brother had also been turned by their shared lover. By the time he appears in season one, he’s
been away from Stefan for at least eighty years (including the meeting in 1912), and he immediately begins taunting his brother, as a colder,
more calloused version of his human self.
Throughout season one, Damon is arrogant and sarcastic, showing little to no regard for human life and using whatever people he can get his
hands on as his personal playthings. He shows pity to neither Caroline Forbes nor Vicki Donovan, even going so far as to kill Stefan’s
football coach to "prove" that he has no humanity left. He is also portrayed as a very impulsive vampire, known for his self-destructive
behavior and his devious, sadistic mind. Despite this, he stays focused on his only goal: getting Katherine out of the tomb. This shows his
ability for planning and forethought, and certainly the patience to wait one hundred and forty-five years for the necessary comet to return.
After Katherine is discovered to have been alive the entire time, and his reason for doing the things he does seems to shatter, Damon
becomes more dangerous because he drinks alcohol constantly, bonding with others at the bar. He destructively taunts Alaric Saltzman
about being the one to kill his wife, Isobel Flemming, but is confused to find that it was Elena’s birthmother. He tempts his brother with
human blood, though he knows exactly what Stefan used to be, and when Stefan goes off the deep end, Damon helps Elena detox him. He
also genuinely thanks Bonnie Bennett for disabling the device that could kill him, surprising her with his sincerity.
Damon
Every time his brother is put in a situation that endangers his life, Damon protects him, but he’s not afraid to cause Stefan non-lethal harm.
Despite his anger with Stefan for the actions of the past, he hangs around, protecting and working with him, sometimes destroying the good
in his life. Their perplexing relationship seems to center around Elena, who anchors them to Mystic Falls.
Elena is the oddity of Damon’s behavior, the anomaly that makes his personality far from psychopathic. In the beginning of the first season,
Stefan is prepared to give up on his brother, believing him to be an irreparable monster, but Damon displays true feeling for Elena. Elena
Gilbert is physically identical to Katherine, the woman who turned him into a vampire, making her not only a constant reminder of what
happened to him and Stefan, but a temptation to let history repeat itself. When Katherine reveals that she never loved him (in the beginning
of season two), Damon reacts by trying to get Elena to admit that she loves him, and when she tells him that she loves Stefan (but also cares
for Damon), he reacts impulsively, set off by both Katherine and Elena choosing his brother instead. He kills Elena’s brother, spending
many weeks afterwards trying to make it up to Elena, showing true regret for his actions. Their relationship began with taunting and cruelty,
but she became what he clings to for humanity; he became her occasional protector, a guardian of sorts. His impulsive actions drive her
away but she refuses to let him die, and he does the same for her.
With Elena influencing him throughout the second and third seasons, Damon becomes slightly kinder, if only for the fact that he no longer
mindlessly kills and torments humans (without good reason), and he controls himself to be strong for Elena’s sake. He proves that he is
capable of love, nobility, loyalty, and selflessness, masking the most intense of his emotions to spare himself from seeming weak, but
expressing just enough to draw in a very small circle of friends (which he later drives away). He continues to claim that his emotions can be
turned off, but several older vampires reveal that this is a lie; after a certain amount of time, a vampire has to pretend they can’t feel. The
only time Damon had ever admitted his pain was when Elena told him that she would never kiss him back, to which he responded, “Now
I’m hurt.”
About halfway through the third season, Damon believes that Elena is trying to turn him into Stefan by constantly telling him to be the
‘better man.’ Others continue to underestimate him and, to display that he doesn’t care at all, he kills Alaric, with whom he’d developed a
strong friendship. He also spends time trying to make it up to Alaric after his ring brings him back to life, treating him like a friend even
though Alaric is extremely angry with him. He also snaps and feeds from Caroline’s father, and, after a very violent fight with Caroline, he’s
confronted by Elena. He’s even cruel to her, accusing her of trying to make him into something he’s not. His turmoil continues when
Katherine reappears, and he recklessly takes her offer of a ‘road trip,’ leaving Elena defenseless only because he’s mad at her. When he
returns he displays genuine regret and, in one of his most tell-all, modest moments of the show, he tells her that he will never leave her
again, showing his extreme love and devotion to Elena, and his regret for making another impulsive decision. His other shining moment is
when he said this to Elena:
"I just have to say it once; you just need to hear it. I love you, Elena... and it's because I love you that I can't be selfish with you. Why, you
can't know this. I don't deserve you... but my brother does. God, I wish you didn't have to forget this... but you do..."
He compels her to forget that he said this (late in season two), because he believes it would be selfish to confuse Elena with his feelings.
This is right after Stefan apologizes for making Damon turn in 1864, something that surprises Damon to the point of revelation: He realizes
what he’s been doing to his brother, all following one stupid mistake. In reality, what Damon said to Elena proves that she has been molding
him into a better person, because before that moment, he never would’ve done something so selfless. Damon also admits to missing his
human life before he drunkenly kills Jessica Cohen in the middle of the road; this secret is kept from everyone around him. He lets the girl
go, but immediately chases her down and kills her anyway in an effort to prove that he doesn’t really care. When his spirits are down,
Damon solves his problems with alcohol (mostly bourbon), but he often uses violence and murder to console himself.
Damon is also very self-confident, given that he’ll confront older, stronger vampires like Lexi, Anna, Pearl, Elijah, Klaus, Katherine Pierce,
and Rose without hesitation, and without regard to manners. He often taunts them, which results in him nearly being killed quite often.
