Damien adamantly keeps his brother's location a secret after getting warned about the organization's dubious past from Valerie. An equally adamant Lorenzo  tranquilizes Damien and knocks out Bonnie. Damien wakes up and sees Tyler who was to soon transition to his werewolf side since it was a full moon. Bonnie here takes desperate measures to save Damien from being bitten. Damien  struggles with Tyler who makes him realize that people are always dying around in order to save him and it must stop. Taking it to heart, Damien advises Bonnie to not open the cell as she could die. Undeterred, Bonnie manages to open the cell only to get her skull bashed by Tyler who runs away after a fight. Damien sees that she's not healing with his blood & he gets her hospitalized. As he talks to an unconscious Bonnie, he says that he's deeply hurt to have put her and Stephen's  lives in danger both of who tried to save him which brings him to think that it'd be best to take himself out of the equation as to no longer bother his loved ones. And it'll all ends tomorrow.
 * 15) "I Would For You"-Stephen and Valerie pursue a herb that can hide them from Rayna; Bonnie makes a discovery that thwarts Damien's plan to take Rayna down; Stephen questions his future with Carol. Matt decides it may be time to take a real stand against vampires. Three Years into the future, Stephen is captured by Rayna. Rayna tells him that is a Plan B that, she doesn't want to kill him, and can transfer the mark to someone else who deserves it. She mentions Damien, but Stephen says she's trying to get them apart and rejects, but Damien  comes in and says it was his idea.
 * 16) "Days Of The Future"- Three years from now, The Armory is searching for Enzo and Rayna as they believe the former released the huntress, but actually Matt had freed her to get Stephen  back into the Phoenix hell stone as the vampire had something to do with his girlfriend's (Penny) death. Alex has kept Nova and Mary Lou as hostages for these 3 years experimenting on the latter with Rayna's blood (it is lethal to witches) eventually sending Nova  to find Enzo in return of Mary Lou. Rayna and a werewolf toxin-saturated Damien coax Stephen  to do the mark transfer who eventually sets off on a run from Rayna. Damien  is struggling with the werewolf toxin in his system and contemplating on whether he should participate for the mark transfer (as he'll die when Rayna does naturally in another 60-70 years ergo, bidding goodbye to his chance of seeing Lana ever again) or come up with a better plan. In the meanwhile, Valerie comes to his rescue; over the past 3 years - her and Stephen's  friendship has seen evolution and while globe-trotting, they've managed to contact an individual who may know ways to end Rayna. Nova finds Enzo and they decide to collectively fight Alex who they eventually corner. Alex is curious as to why Enzo is so desperate to stash all the lethal-to-a-witch pills and reveals that there's no antidote and Mary Lou is as good as dead. Valerie and Damien are running against time to capture Rayna and save Stephen  but it gets too late as the huntress gains over them - Damien  finally agrees to do the mark transfer but before they're done, Rayna has already stabbed and sent Stephen  back into the hell stone leaving Valerie and Damien  devastated. Nova and Mary Lou share their final moments and in a run-in with Rayna, Nova gets marked and the sword gets stuck to their car. Both Nova  and Mary Lou finally decide to be together in death as they do their last magic to break and destroy the Phoenix stone forever along with blowing their car off to pieces. Rayna who was chasing them all along stands there devastated and stunned as she watches her stone, her mark (Nova) and probably her sword gets destroyed this time, for real.
 * 17) "I Went To The Forrest"- Destroying the Phoenix stone led to escape of all the trapped souls followed by rampant possession of dead bodies. Stephen 's body gets possessed by a remorseless vampire who goes to Memphis sorority parties to quench his blood thirst. Stephen's  soul gets into Marty, an alcoholic mariner who was in the middle of a road mishap. He/Stephen struggles to stay alive as an ongoing blizzard starts taking a toll on him. Damien, Adam and Valerie team up to catch hold of both Stephen's body and soul before the latter's host body succumbs to cold and detox. Valerie, with the help of Rayna, gets to know about Marty's whereabouts and informs Damien  who goes on search of him and manages to contact him via cellphone. He keeps Marty/Stephen engaged and moving while Stephen  reminisces about their childhood and opens up about how he felt about Damien selfishly bailing on him time and again over the years. Eventually Damien  catches up on Marty just in time who falls down unconscious. He makes him sit inside the warmer car and gives him doughnuts to keep his younger brother fed and going. However hypothermia starts pacing up on Marty and now, they are rushing against time to go catch Stephen's body, which is busy feeding off University sororities in Memphis.
 * 18) "One Way Or Another"- Damien arranges an ambulance as Marty Hammond's state worsens. Adam and Damien  track down Ambrose - the vampire who has taken residence in Stephen's body.

After fixing Stephen,  she lets go of him on good terms and parts ways to explore the world. Damien apologizes for his selfish desiccation decision and begs Adam  to get back to being friends who blankly refuses stating that he has been better and safer without being disturbed by Damien  and he does not want things to go back to the way they were. Cut-to Bonnie in a psychiatric ward in Asheville, where she has been taking the pills for over three years, to stay off The Armory's radar; she learns that they needed her to open some basement vault once sealed shut by a Clyde  witch. Enzo gives her a visit and lets her know that these pills would eventually kill her so she should stop taking them. Just as they hug, Bonnie sees Damien  standing outside her room holding flowers. He has come to apologize to her but cannot bring up anything to say. Bonnie gives a rude smirk and bangs the door shut on her once best friend's face. Both rejections, from Adam and Bonnie leave Damien hurt.
 * 19) "Somebody That I Used To Know"- Bonnie's condition worsens as her first scab appears. Damien  and Enzo work out a deal with Rayna in which if they kill all the enlisted vampires in her murder list, Rayna will allow them to utilize her last EverLasting's life and help out Bonnie. Over the last 3 years, Bonnie and Enzo have become a couple. Cut-to present day, Bonnie has not yet forgiven Damien ; he does most of the dirty work but remains an uninvited guest to Bonnie & Enzo. Stephen  goes to Dallas trying to make amends for how he left things with Carol  but neither her nor Adam  are interested in bridging back their old friendship with Stephen. Just as Damien and Enzo  are this close to sealing their end of their deal, Rayna adds hundreds of more names to the list leaving an impossible task ahead of them as they only have a week to kill em' all before Bonnie succumbs to the effects of those poisonous pills. And the clock starts ticking NOW...
