It is revealed that Hope didn't know that Rafael used the crescent moon ring she previously gave him to turn into his wolf form. She eventually finds him and interacts with him for the first time since the events of There's Always a Loophole. She removes the ring and Rafael is returned back to his human-form but continues to adjust.
Alaric and Vardemus meet for the first time and there is immediate tension between the two; especially in regards to teaching supernatural children. Following the Annual Charity Football Game, Vardemus asks that Alaric not set foot on campus again, claiming it's for the sake of the students under his protection, despite his daughters attendance at the school.

Cultural References

When Dennis remarks that vandalizing the Salvatore School was a tradition, Ethan retorts, "So is the Electoral College." The Electoral College is part of the American government that exists as a body of electors established by the U.S. Constitution for the purpose of electing the president and vice-president every four years.
Landon remarks, "Hell of a throw, Johnny Utah," to Hope after one of the plays in the football game between Mystic Falls High School and the Salvatore School. Johnny Utah is the character played by Keanu Reeves in Kathryn Bigelow's 1991 film Point Break, who was a former quarterback for the Ohio State University Buckeyes who was an FBI agent working undercover to catch a group of bank robbers.
Landon says "I'm not the droid you are looking for, please move along" with a hand gesture when the Shunka snarls at him. This is a reference to Star Wars, the 1977 space opera epic in which Obi-Wan Kenobi uses a Jedi mind trick to evade the notice of the Stormtroopers.
MG refers to Ethan as "teenage Tom Brady." Tom Brady is a quarterback for the New England Patriots, an American football team based in Boston, Massachusetts.
Alaric refers to Professor Vardemus as "Gary Poppins." This is a reference to the 1964 American musical fantasy Mary Poppins, about a magical nanny hired to take care of a dysfunctional family in Victorian England.
