Plot

SPOILERS AHEAD

The episode starts with Brady burning the bodies of his friends who died last night. Stevie comes suddenly to tell Jules that he suspects that Mason was working with vampires when he saw him and Katherine (Kathy) in Florida. They decide to kill every vampire in town, to prevent them from breaking the curse. In Caroline's house, Elena, Bonnie and Caroline are sleeping. Then Stefan calls Elena. She tells him that, since her dad is in town, she wants to go as far away as possible. In the Salvatore Boarding House, Andie is about to leave.Damon compells her not to reveal any of his secrets. As she leaves, Alaric arrives. Alaric asks Damon not to kill Elijah or Andie. In the grill, Caroline and Bonnie talk about the plan to take down Luka. Matt passes by, but Caroline just waves to him. Tyler goes into the woods to Brady's trailer. Stevie, Brady and Jules ask him to help them to find the moonstone. They explain to him about the moonstone and the sun and the moon curse, but don't mention that Elena has to die in order to break it.Tyler wants to help because he doesn't want to turn into a wolf. Breaking the curse will allow him to turn when he wants. In the grill Caroline tries to talk with Matt. He tells her that he knows that she wasn't with Bonnie because Bonnie was in the grill. Then he leaves, but Tyler arrives. They bump and a lot of her stuff falls on the floor. He quickly grabbs her cellphone and puts it in his pocket. Matt returns and tells Tyler to stop lying, that he and Caroline are together.In Elena's house Stefan and Elena prepare for a weekend at the lake house. "Caroline" sends a message to Elena asking where she is. She answers that she's going to Gilbert Family Lake House. So Tyler and Brady head there.

Stefan and Elena arrived at the lake house. At first Stefan can't enter, and Elena tells him that the house belongs to John as a joke. Amused, she finally invits him in and they kiss.

At the Historical Society Tea Party, Elijah "meets" Damon. They go into another room to talk. Elijah grabs Damon's neck and stabs a pencil into it. John tells Alaric that he wants his ring back soon.

In the grill, Bonnie uses a spell to take down Luka. She, Caroline and Jeremy carry him to the house. At the same time, Stefan and Elena are making out in the lake house. They discover a hollow in the wall. Stefan removes the plankings to reveal a secret door. In the room, they see a lot of vampire-hunter's weapons and the rest of Johnathan Gilbert's journals.

In the Salvatore Boarding House, someone stabs Alaric. Damon comes quickly, but Stevie stabs him. After few seconds Jules and Brady arrive. John raises suspicions about Alaric after he tells Jenna about Isobel's death. Luka reveals to Bonnie that Elijah is planning to go ahead with the sacrifice anyway and that Luka's sister has been kidnapped by Klaus.

Brady shoots Stefan and tells Tyler to finish him. Brady goes to catch Elena. She runs from him, then stabs him twice and as she runs away through the door, Stefan kills him.

Damon is being tortured by Stevie who wants to know where the moonstone is. Then Elijah enters with the moonstone. One wolf tries to get it, but Elijah rips his heart out. The same thing happens to the next two wolves. Jules runs away and Stevie is the only one left. Elijah breaks Stevie's neck and releases Damon.

Bonnie calls Damon to tell him about Elijah's real plan. Damon tells Stefan. When Stefan tells Elena, she's not surprised. She tells him that his promise is to protect her friends, but not her. Bonnie and Jeremy share a kiss.

In the last scene, Tyler leaves a letter to his mom, tells Matt to be good to Caroline and goes to Caroline's house, just to see her. Then he leaves town with Jules.

Trivia

Antagonist: Jules
First episode to feature Bonnie and Jeremy kiss.
Last episode filmed before the cast and crew's holiday break.
Nina Dobrev had to kiss Paul Wesley's stunt double, coincidentally named John Gilbert, because Paul hurt his ankle some days before when he was in LA, so he was on crutches and he couldn't lift Nina with her legs around his waist in their scene at the lake house.
Katherine does not appear in this episode.
Tyler leaves Mystic Falls with Jules at the end of the episode.
Damon mocks Elijah's alias "Smith" with is ironic since in the books he used the same alias when he first arrived in Fell's Church.
Damon also calls him being tortured for the location of the moonstone ironic. He says someone will torture him, he won't talk, and someone will loose a heart. These events happened in Plan B with Mason loosing his heart. Damon was right he was tortured, didn't say anything and 3 werewolves lost their hearts thanks to Elijah.
In this episode, Elena and Tyler talk for the very first time in the series. They have known each other their whole lives though, so they most likely talked from time to time at some point before the pilot or between episodes.
This is the first time Elijah is shown killing werewolves, but the second time he is shown murdering two people at the same time, such as when he killed two vampires at the same time by ripping their hearts out in The Sacrifice, shown again in this episode except werewolves are murdered instead of vampires.
This episode features the third torture scene in the second season, apart from when Caroline was tortured by Brady (Daddy Issues) and Mason was tortured by Damon.
All the remaining werewolves are killed, except for Jules and Tyler.

Cultural References

The expression "Cry Wolf" means to raise a false alarm.
The documentary "Crying Wolf " is about the reintroduction of Wolves to Yellowstone park, and the controversy surrounding this issue. In this episode, a werewolf pack was "reintroduced" in Mystic Falls, where they have been thought extinct for generations.
"Action News " is a local television broadcast format in the United States. It was developed in the 70s, and has a tight format that often limits the time exposure of each reporter, making it more dynamic. It's innovations have been assimilated to most newscasts now a days - which makes Alaric's coment "It'a not called Action News anymore" even funnier.
The expression "Beware of Greeks bearing gifts" means, beware of your enemies, when they are being nice. It refers to the Trojan Horse, the trick the Greeks used to infiltrate the Trojan defenses. Bonnie's coffee gift to Luka was also a trick to infiltrate his mind.
