Trivia

 * Antagonist: Damon
 * Elena realizes that Stefan is not human in this episode.
 * Vampires need to feed fairly often; in less than a fortnight, a vampire under the influence of vervain will become a living mummy.
 * When enticed or hungered by the smell of blood (or even just angered enough, Pilot) vampires' fangs extend, their eyes blacken and veins become more prominent
 * Damon still has power over in his weakened state, even though they were a far distance away from each other. This caused her to see him in the mirror as well as a crow appearing at her windowsill before leading her to the Salvatore house and freeing him.
 * causes the hose to backfire on Tiki after she insulted someone at the car wash. Grams told her in Fool Me Once that their emotions fuel their powers. Bonnie was angered by Tiki's behavior, triggering her powers.
 * The stone in the Salvatore rings is Lapis Lazuli.
 * Caroline stops wearing scarves. This is probably because Damon doesn't bite her anymore due the fact that he was locked up.
 * Damon kills Zach in this episode. After Zach's death, any other vampire is able to get into the Salvatore Boarding House.
 * This episode marks Vicki's last appearance as a human.
 * Logan is related to the reporter Franklin Fell who reported the 1953 'animal attack' that killed Joseph Salvatore.

Quotes

 * : Where's my ring?


 * : During the Dark Ages when a vampire's actions threatened to expose or bring harm upon the entire race they would face judgment.

In a week your skin will desiccate and you'll mummify, a living corpse. Unable to hurt anyone. Ever''.
 * : You know what will happen if I don't feed on blood.


 * : So what you're just going to keep me in the basement forever.

But you're not stronger than the vervain''.
 * : I'm stronger than you think.


 * : I'm a drug using delinquent. Girl in bed doesn't really rank. Sorry.

: And you have no objection? : He could be craftier about it.
 * : Jenna, are you aware of what's going on upstairs?

(mimics Stefan's voice) Hi, um, Elena, I, um, I have something I have to do, I'll, uh, explain in a few days''.
 * : Have you heard from Stefan?


 * : (to Zach) I came here to live a life, it's about time I get back to that. And Elena, if she's still speaking to me.


 * Zach: (about lying to Elena) You came back here because you wanted to live as normal a life as you could. You knew this was going to be part of it.


 * : It's like there's holes in my memory lately, it's just...weird.


 * : Maybe I let him bite me.


 * : [about the crystal from Family Ties] All I know is it's mine now.


 * : The Sexy Suds Car Wash is tomorrow. The football team and the band have committed. Well, not all the band. Just the ones who can pull off a bikini.

I'll live''.
 * : I'm so sorry I haven't called.

Deal with Damon''? : Yes. : For four days?
 * : I was dealing with Damon.

: When's he coming back? : He's not coming back.
 * : Stefan, where's Damon? He's got some serious apologizing to do.


 * : (about Damon being gone) This is a good thing, Caroline.


 * Zach: I'm full of vervain. I've been putting it in my coffee for 16 years.

Zach: We're not family, Damon.
 * : Family only runs so deep, huh?


 * : I don't guess I could talk you into bringing me a rabbit or something? I'd settle for Stefan's diet at this point.

Zach: ''You don't visit, Damon. You appear unannounced''.
 * : You're like your grandfather. He didn't like it when I came to visit either.


 * : Someone has to mow the lawn.


 * : Yeah, I'm not going to lie. Your brother and my sister, that's weird.


 * : How late is he?


 * : (about what Stefan's hiding) Like what? That he's a serial killer and keeps a clown suit in his trunk?


 * : (about Stefan) He's great at football, he's a bit of a loner and, as much as I hate saying it... he might be a nice guy.


 * : Don't you get it? Every question gets a vague, non-answer.


 * Old Man: (to Stefan) I know you.


 * Old Man: (to Stefan) You haven't aged a day.


 * Logan: (to Sheriff Forbes about tracking the vampires) Well someone who comes out only at night should eventually become obvious.


 * : (to Logan) You have an hour. Make it count.


 * : Don't answer a question with another question.


 * : Jeremy told me that chicken Parmesan is one of your favorites and I happen to be a good cook. Italian roots demand it.


 * : I figure if you're going to dump me, you should at least know who you're dumping.


 * : So let's start with Katherine. She was the most beautiful girl I had ever met. She had this perfect olive skin. And she had this laugh; it was ridiculous, her laugh made you laugh. And she was fun, she knew how to have a good time but Katherine was also very impatient and entitled and selfish and impulsive. Enter Damon. He claims that he was with her first. I don't know. I do know I did some things that I'm not proud of and my biggest regret is not being able to make it right before she died. I miss her, but I'm no longer crippled by her loss.

Vicki: Well that's the beauty of choice.
 * : I feel like we're always getting high.


 * Vicki: I really hope you're not one of those guys that now that we're together tries to change everything about me.


 * : I'm an avid reader, huge Fitzgerald fan, The Great Gatsby is a masterpiece, but I'm no snob. I love some good Grisham. I think Seinfeld is the best American television show of the past fifty years but I Love Lucy is the all time, the Loving Cup episode is the best. Huge Scorsese fan. I can watch Taxi Driver over and over again. As far as music it's pretty much across the board. Dylan, Hendrix, Patsy, Willy, little Kanye, you know what; I even like that one Miley song.


 * : Are you kidding? I love garlic.


 * : Hey, your face...


 * : I think that my paranoia has turned into full blown hallucinations.


 * : (about the car wash) We are going for "stripper pole" vibe this year.

: ''You won. You got the bad guy. Now nothing can come between you and Elena. Except the truth''.
 * : I bet your feeling pretty good about yourself aren't you?


 * : The beauty of you in there and me out here is that I can walk away.


 * : Did we just get scolded?


 * : (after seeing Matt watching Stefan and Elena) Uh-uh, no. Not of that tortured pining stuff.

Logan: Really? : ''Nope, nada. Especially not having sex in the minivan''.
 * Logan: Do you remember the last time we were in the school parking lot?


 * : (about the rings) I noticed Damon has one too. Is there a story behind it?


 * : Caroline, help me.


 * Old Man: When I first moved here I stayed at the Salvatore boarding house. Stefan was just passing through to visit his uncle. I mean none of us even knew he was here until the attack. His uncle was killed. Mauled by an animal in the woods.

Old Man: Joseph. : I'm sorry sir, I'm not familiar with the story. Old Man: ''Well how could you? This happened years ago''.
 * : His uncle, Zach?

Old Man: It was early June, 1953... Yeah, June, 1953.
 * : When was this?

Last name Salvatore didn't do it for you''?
 * : I realized earlier I didn't know your family was from Italy.


 * Vicki: Welcome to my other favorite party place.


 * : Your car was done an hour ago.


 * : It's a carwash; by definition the pavement's clean.


 * Logan: Can you believe there's actual news to cover in this town?


 * Tony: Vicki brought the party police.


 * Vicki: You're the kid with the big house who's acting out because his parents died. Guess what? You'll get over it. You'll pull yourself together, move on and one day tell your kids stories about your dark period growing up. And I'll still be here, waiting tables at the Grill, partying at the cemetery with a bunch of "waste of space small town lifers".


 * : (to Stefan about Elena) She's big on trust. So whatever you're holding back from her, the more you try to hide it the more she won't stop until she figures it out.


 * : Mom. If I want to talk boys I'll call dad. At least he's successfully dating one.


 * : I don't know what's happening to me.


 * : (to Stefan) What are you?
