Caroline wakes up from a dream of her mother teaching her how to ride a bicycle to find her friends sleeping in the living room with her. The blonde vampire interrupts Damon trying to write his eulogy for Sheriff Forbes.
Damon warns Caroline that today and tomorrow she's surrounded by those who worry about her, but wait until next week when there's just silence.
Caroline delegates each of her friends to help her with taking care of business before her mother's funeral.
While Caroline and Elena go casket shopping, Bonnie continues to seek a way out of the other world. With determination, Bonnie waits for the eclipse to get herself out.
Elsewhere, Jo vomits from food poisoning as Alaric tries to talk her out of going to Sheriff Forbes's funeral, but when Kai disrupts the couple to tell them that the merge did not go as planned, both Kai and Jo could die.
As Elena and Caroline make their errands, Caroline divulges to Elena that she and Stefan kissed, yet she needs to know if it's the real deal.
The same goes for Stefan, who wonders about Caroline, yet Damon tells him that if he felt the way he felt about Elena and Katherine, Stefan wouldn't have to ask for advice.
Meanwhile, Kai realizes that if he obtains Jo's magic, the vomiting would disappear, but would Alaric allow for this?
Right before the funeral, Damon struggles to write the eulogy but his past with his mother prompts him to speed up the writing process.
Caroline, on the other hand, confronts Stefan on whether the kiss from last episode stemmed from sympathetic feelings or romantic feelings. With one look, Stefan shows Caroline what his true feelings are, but he still wants to talk with her afterwards.
Sensing that Stefan's feelings are not romantic, Caroline feels heartbroken and at the funeral, her emotions pour out in a song for her mom.
Despite what Damon advises Stefan, the younger Salvatore changes his mind on Caroline. Nevertheless, is Stefan too late?
After the funeral, Caroline wants to leave as quickly as possible, leaving Elena to wonder what is up. Although Elena figures that Caroline wants to turn off her humanity, will her best friend listen to her?
On a surprising note, Damon returns home to Bonnie awaiting him. When Bonnie shows Damon some footage containing a mysterious woman from the other realm, Damon pinpoints the woman to be his mother.
Back at Caroline's home, Stefan finds Elena with her neck snapped on the floor, but where's Caroline?
