"Memory Lane" is the 4th episode of the second season of The CW television series, The Vampire Diaries and the 26th episode of the series overall. It originally aired on September 30, 2010. The episode was written by Caroline Dries and directed by Rob Hardy.
The episode starts with a scene from 1864 where Katherine (Nina Dobrev) and Stefan (Paul Wesley) dance at the Founder's party. While they are dancing, Stefan sees that Damon (Ian Somerhalder) talks with Elena and they leave together. He runs after them and the scene jumps to the present where Elena is now playing pool with Damon. Katherine appears to tell him that now he knows how she feels watching him with Elena. Stefan wakes up with "Elena" lying next to him but he jumps up when he realizes that it is Katherine and she got into his dream.
Damon tries to find a way to prove that Mason (Taylor Kinney) is a werewolf and tells Alaric (Matt Davis) to tell Jenna (Sara Canning) to hold a barbecue party and invite Mason. At the barbecue, Damon plans to stab Mason with a silver knife since according to the stories, silver can harm werewolves. Mason is ready to leave for the barbecue when Tyler (Michael Trevino) asks him to tell him about werewolves. Mason does not want to tell him because he believes there is no need for him to know and he leaves.
Stefan tries to find out from Katherine why she is in Mystic Falls and Katherine says that she is back for him. Stefan does not believe her and to make her tell him the real reason, he injects her with vervain and chains her at the basement. Katherine tells him that she loves him and she knows that he loves her too but Stefan believes that his love was forced after compulsion even though Katherine denies that she ever compelled him. She narrates him what happened back in 1864, the day humans captivated her and what led to that day.
