Lockwood Driveway: Bonnie deftly plays the I'm a frail female card as she unloads a table from a truck. Mason, who is on his way out, sees her and helps out. Hey just because he's sleeping with Death Herself doesn't mean he's not a Southern gentleman at heart. As a sign of gratitude, Bonnie inflicts our sturdy Brick House with a mystical migraine. Once he's debilitated, Stefan and Damon swoop in, knock him out, put him in the back of his truck, and Damon and Bonnie drive off with their incapacitated patient. Commercial.
Mossy Manse; Detox Dungeon: Caroline and Liz continue their heart-to-heart about Care Bear's vampirism and her struggle not to kill in order to feed. Caroline can't help but brag that she's better than old "blood-o-holic" Stefan about controlling her urges. Soon thereafter, Caroline hears Damon return home.
Upstairs: Bonnie helps Damon lay out a canvas so that Damon's afternoon amusements don't stain the carpet. While Damon finds Mason's monthly restraints, he gives Bonnie her mind-reading orders. She reads Mason's mind -- with his shirt on. What kind of half-assed witch is she? Everyone knows... oh, don't make me keep up the pretense. You know you want his shirt off, too. Anyhow, Bonnie determines that Brick House has hidden the moonstone somewhere small, dark and wet. NO! Not there. In a well, you pervs. As soon as she's given Damon what he wants, Bonnie takes off, but he stops her for a moment. "Hey, Judge-y. Thank you." Heh. That was almost a moment. We're going to see these two together at some point, aren't we?
Once Bonnie is gone, Damon smacks Mason awake. Out in the foyer, Bonnie runs into Caroline. She asks about Liz, but is still obviously uncomfortable. Caroline gives her every chance, and finally Bonnie tells her that she knows the moonstone is in the old well they used to play near at the outskirts of the old Lockwood estate ruins, when they were kids. She then texts the information to Stefan and tells Caroline that she's leaving. Caroline is patient but vulnerable here, and ultimately, Bonnie cannot keep up her wall. She asks her old friend if she'll accompany her on her moonstone quest.
Lockwood Mansion: Matt tries to feel Elena out for information about Caroline and whether she's seeing anyone. Stefan joins them at the sorting table, but doesn't speak to either of them. When Tyler comes in looking for Mason, Stefan tells him he took off for a while. Stefan then receives Bonnie's text about the well and speeds out the door. Matt notices the tension, but says he won't ask about it. Elena, being the world's worst faker, promptly follows Stefan outside.
