 * Damon was actually fooled twice by Katherine. In 1864 she fooled everyone, including Damon and Stefan, into thinking that she burned inside Fell's Church. Later, Damon believes Katherine's handmaid and witch ally Emily Bennett, when she tells him she used a spell to protect the vampires, including Katherine, inside the tomb. He waits 145 years for the return of the comet to free her, only to find out that she was never trapped inside the tomb.

Quotes

 * : It's Elena, Damon if you know something, tell me.

Anna: I'm Anna. Your brother may've mentioned me. I mean we're, like, practically dating.
 * Anna: Well, well, Elena Gilbert. You really are Katherine's doppelgänger. You must have the Salvatore boys reeling.

Anna: My mother's in there. Katherine couldn't help herself... she just had to toy around with both Salvatore brothers and when she got caught, so did my mother. I watched Johnathan Gilbert take her away.
 * : Then what is it, or who is it?

Grams: Many things can fuel a witches power...Worry..Anger. After Stefan told me that they had taken you I had a lot of both. A simple locater spell was easy after that.
 * : How did you know where we were?


 * : I didn't compel you in Atlanta, because we were having fun. I wanted it to be real. I'm trusting you. Don't make me regret it.


 * : The Duke party. I forgot. I hope they stay clear of the church.

Anna: Last I saw her was Chicago, 1983. She knew where you were, Damon... she didn't care.
 * Pearl: (Damon choking her) The Guard, the one at the church, the one who locked us in. She promised to turn him. He was obsessed with her. She had him under her spell like everybody else. He let her go.


 * : Why do you get happiness and I don't!


 * : Fool me once, shame on you!


 * Damon: When do you wanna do this?
 * Anna: God, it's like 1864 all over again. You Salvatores are truly pathetic when it comes to women.


 * Caroline: So I have a speech. It is fully scripted and well-rehearsed. Are you ready for it?
 * Matt: You wrote a speech?
 * Caroline: Yes. It's a 'you kissed me, and I don't want things to be weird' speech. It's pre-emptive.
 * Matt: Pre-emptive?
 * Caroline: Yeah. You know, in case you were having second thoughts or regrets or were, like, ooged out...
 * Matt: 'Ooged,' huh?
 * Caroline: Can I just get on with the speech part?
 * Matt: Yeah, go for it.
 * Caroline: So, I know that you don't think that this is going to work out between us. I just wanna let you know that right here and right now, I'm offering you an out. Like an escape clause.
 * Matt: Why are you giving me an escape clause?
 * Caroline: I don't wanna make assumptions about what is we are doing here.
 * Matt: Got it.
 * Caroline: So ... If you would like to exercise it, just let me know.
 * Matt: I'm good. But thanks.
