When they arrive at the Grill, Elena tells Damon to "be the better man" and to "not do anything stupid". Not surprisingly, Damon sarcastically tells her that stupid is more fun. However, he does behave himself during an awkward and tense conversation involving Alaric, Jenna, John and Elena. Damon threatens John to tell him what he knows and what his plans are, but John tells Damon that he will not say anything until he knows he can trust Damon.

Damon gets a drink at the bar as Elena chats and watches him. Jenna attempts to set up Damon with her friend Andie. Andie asks Damon if she can buy him a drink, and Damon replies that his drink is all full, then walks away towards Elena leaving behind a hurt [[Andie]]. Elena has watched the whole interaction and when he reaches her, she tells him that he shouldn't be rude. He then replies that his steering away from all women is in the best interests of women everywhere. He and Elena eye each other for a moment, but then Elena's phone rings. It is Stefan, and Elena gets extremely worried about what ever he is saying. Damon, with his supernatural hearing, also becomes highly alarmed.

In the next scene, Damon and Elena are conversing in the bathroom. Damon has been updated about how Tyler knows that he and Stefan are vampires, and that they were responsible for his uncle Mason's death. Damon is extremely annoyed that he was not filled in on this before, and offers to kill Tyler. Elena grabs his arms and tells him not to, because too many people have died already. She tells him to do whatever he must do to get Caroline back, but to leave Tyler out of it. Damon warns her to stop assuming he'll play the good guy just because it's her who is asking. John bursts through the door, wondering what is going on between them and what they are talking about. Elena furiously tells him it's nothing, and when he tells her it doesn't look like nothing Damon retorts that trust works both ways, and to get out. Elena quickly tells Damon to focus on Caroline and getting her back, asking Damon how are they going to do this. Damon tells Elena that HE will take care of it, and that she will not be coming with him. He races out of the bathroom, and tells John that, as Elena's father, he should keep her to prevent her from following him and getting hurt.
