A humanity-less Damon and Enzo are on a killing spree as per the vault monster's orders. Based on fresh leads, Stefan and Bonnie visit the slaughterhouse that Damon and Enzo now call home and try talking sense into them, but the duo are in no way even close to disobeying the vault monster. Alaric and his interns manage to delve deeper into the vault cave and discover ancient remains that have distinct Greek roots. Caroline has her hands full with finding clues and taking care of the kids along with the new nanny, Seline. On another side, Virginia St. John had escaped and gone straight for Seline. Caroline was right on time to save her kids, Seline and grill Virginia on spilling the beans about the vault monster but it was of no use, as Virginia bled to death. Bonnie was reminiscing about her and Enzo when she, along with Alaric, connected a similarity between a certain Greek story Enzo used to tell her and his current method of killing his victims. They all point towards Sirens or The Messengers of The Devil – a Greek myth according to which Fauns use mind control to lure their victims to their death. As the episode draws to a close, Damon and Enzo look on as the vault monster rises from the death pool with death gleaming in her eyes.

A list of victims named Sarah Nelson ("Nelson" being Sarah's assumed surname) appears and Stefan, Caroline, and Bonnie go to the real Sarah's apartment to protect her from Damon and Enzo, the former of who is knocked out by Sarah with vervain upon their arrival. Enzo tells Bonnie they will both be in danger if he doesn't return to Sybil so Bonnie knocks him out and attempts to escape. Eventually, she must let him go but the two share a passionate kiss and he tells her he will never stop fighting for her. At Sarah's apartment, Damon attempts to kill her but Stefan tells him who she is and begs him to let her go for Elena. Damon lets her go, but Sybil shows up at that moment and kills Sarah. She is upset that Damon is tied to Elena so she changes his memories of Elena to her. Now fully submitted to Sybil, Damon walks out with her. When Enzo returns to Sybil, she gets in his head and sees his kiss with Bonnie. Alaric and his co-worker Georgie discover an artifact with a symbol that Georgie has tattooed on herself that she saw in a hellish state of mind after a near-death experience.

They win a goldfish, which is dead, so Seline decides to explain the process of burial to the twins and tells them about Cade. Damon goes to Sybil wanting to be free of her mind control, which she denies him and is upset that he apparently hadn't fully submitted to her. Damon meets Stefan at the carnival where he is knocked out by Caroline. Stefan puts Damon in his coffin to hide until they can defeat the sirens. When Georgie's remain are discovered, the Armory is left alone and Sybil escapes, taking the tuning fork with her and then frees Damon from the coffin, who has decided not to feel and fully submit to her.

Sybil tells Stefan where she is on the condition he comes alone and promises him an offer he cannot refuse. At the motel, Cade is at first interested in Seline's offer to have the twins become his slaves in about a decade or so until Sybil gives Cade her own offer of the Salvatore brothers instead. Stefan tells Caroline that he offered up his soul and that he was granted twenty-four more hours to be with her. Bonnie and Enzo may finally be free of Sybil, who leaves his subconscious after her meeting with Cade.

On the night of Christmas Eve 1917, the ripper Stefan drinks blood from a camp full of people. In the present, Stefan is determined to make the most out of his final day with Caroline over a Christmas Eve dinner. Unfortunately, Damon and Sybil crash the party and Damon stakes Stefan sending him to a meeting with Cade. Cade reveals that on that Christmas Eve a century ago, Seline had witnessed the murder Stefan inflicted on the camp of people and wanted to trade places with him, only to realize he wasn't evil and she erased his memory of their meeting and his slaughter of the camp. However, Cade had decided way back then that Stefan was a perfect servant for him. Distraught over the ruined Christmas festivities, Caroline gives Damon a present that could alter his decision to kill someone that night. Bonnie and Enzo find Seline and ask her for the tuning fork to which she agrees to give them on the condition that she can remove the psychic powers she had planted inside of Lizzie and Josie, hoping to redeem herself and not go to hell when she dies. When Damon and Sybil leave the party, Damon gives her Caroline's present, not having known what it was. When he sees it is Elena's old necklace, he rips out Sybil's heart and leaves her to die. Stefan proposes a deal to Cade to turn off his humanity, so that he can feed Cade souls more rapidly in exchange for Cade shortening his contract to serving him for only a year as opposed to eternity. Cade agrees to the deal but makes it apparent that he doubts Stefan will want to leave him after serving him for a year. Caroline spends her last few hours with her daughters before Alaric takes them away to be safe and it is discovered that Bonnie and the twins also all receive splitting headaches when the tuning fork is used around them. In the end, Damon and Stefan drive out of Mystic Falls and Stefan turns off his humanity.

Stefan learns that Tara's parents were killed by a drunk driver and compels her into believing that Damon was the driver in an attempt to convince her to kill Damon. She eventually gives into her darkness so Stefan takes her to be fed on by Cade. In Mystic Falls, Caroline's job sends her to her old high school where she discovers Sybil has used her siren ability to get herself a job as a teacher. Sybil uses her powers to make the class tie themselves to trees with one remaining student to set them ablaze unless Caroline retrieves an old bell for her for a mysterious reason. Matt is annoyed with his father for having abandon him and even more so when he discovers that he is the one that got rid of the bell by throwing it in the lake under Wickery Bridge, which is revealed to be because Matt's family actually founded the town and made the bell, but it was taken over by the founding family. It is then revealed that the bell was discovered in 2009, after Elena's parents' car went into the lake and is now in Caroline's garage; Caroline and Sybil go to retrieve it but Seline had taken it, leaving a note for Sybil to taunt her. Damon can't seem to rid himself of Elena's necklace, even going after it after throwing it out the car window, showing that he has enough humanity to care about Elena. Sybil also creates doubt inside of Caroline about Stefan coming back from his ripper phase when his contract with Cade is up and even if he does, he could become a ripper again at any time.

Also, Seline is determined to assemble the bell herself and reveals it can kill sirens and that she wants to kill Sybil as a part of righting her past misdeeds and she teams up with Dorian to do so. Elsewhere, Enzo gives a vial of his blood to Bonnie in the form of a necklace, hoping she'll become a vampire to be with him for eternity. However, with her life tied to Elena's she is unsure of how it would affect her.

Stefan compels Matt into doing so and then goes to retrieve Damon after being told that the Damon's need for forgiveness is about him. Once inside Damon's head, Stefan realizes Damon needs to forgive Stefan for turning him into a vampire all those years ago, causing every terrible thing that has happened since. Damon wakes up and Stefan is chained and told by Caroline that she loves him and she will do whatever it takes to restore his humanity. Damon stops Matt at the eleventh ring, which stops hell from burning the town, but allows enough power for Cade to come to the real world.

Caroline and Damon scheme to give the cure to Cade so that they can kill him and Bonnie reluctantly agrees to draw Elena's blood and give them the dosage instead of Enzo. Cade later reveals that his mission for Stefan was also to kill a hundred people or Elena. Stefan chose the latter and so Damon races to New York to stop him.

In the hospital, Stefan breaks up with Caroline and tells her that he is leaving Mystic Falls. Bonnie finds out that she has psychic powers and tries to contact Enzo. She does with Cade's help and learns that like when Cade created hell, she created a place where Enzo's spirit now resides. Alaric brings the girls to see Caroline and tells her that they have lost control of their powers. Cade learns Kai escaped from hell and Damon tries to convince him that he can only be fully redeemed and saved from Cade if he brings back Elena.

Enzo encourages Bonnie to forgive Stefan.

Caroline goes to Kai for help with the twins' uncontrollable siphoning to which Kai reveals that the Armory causes an outburst of witch siphoning powers. He then uses that power to escape and go after the girls. Alaric rings the Maxwell bell to weaken Cade while Stefan goes to kill the Devil; however, Kai calls him and reveals his intentions to kill the twins and so Alaric must deal with that and since he isn't ringing the bell, Cade overpowers Stefan. Eventually, Alaric and Caroline defeat Kai and then Alaric reveals that he wants the two of them to run a school for kids like Lizzie and Josie. Damon meets Cade and Stefan in the cave and Cade tries to force him to choose between the deaths of Elena or Stefan. Damon chooses himself; he kills himself but is rescued by Bonnie who fights Cade for his soul. While Cade and Bonnie's psychic powers are battling, Stefan uses the dagger on Cade and kills him.

The fire starts with Bonnie and the girls in the house. However, Lizzie and Josie are able to siphon Bonnie's magic to save them and they all use their power to escape with Bonnie having to lose her connection to Enzo in the process.

Vicki reveals that she wants to die from the hellfire so as not to return to hell, where she has been residing miserably. Vicki will ring the bell every five minutes until the end of the hour. Matt and the police evacuate the town. Alaric, Caroline, and the twins leave Mystic Falls when Bonnie comes up with a plan to use her magic to reverse the hellfire back into hell, destroying it and Katherine. Damon stays with Katherine in the tunnels under the Armory to make sure she is in hell when Bonnie does this; Stefan comes forward to sacrifice himself instead, and Damon refuses. Damon offers to give up his life instead, telling his brother he loves him and tells him to tell Elena he did it for her. He then compels Stefan to leave. However, Stefan is able to override the compulsion because he has vervain in his system and then hurries back into the tunnels, where he injects a syringe filled with his blood into Damon, making him human. He then takes Damon's place and dies while making sure Katherine is in hell. Both their bodies are destroyed. Stefan visits Elena in the state between life and death, tells her what happened, and then joins Lexi in the afterlife. Some time later, Bonnie breaks Elena's sleeping curse and Elena finally reunites with her, Damon, Caroline, Matt and Alaric and they all attend Stefan’s funeral. Years later, the Salvatore boarding house is turned into a school for supernatural children by Caroline and Alaric with Jeremy and Dorian among the people running it.
