Elena tries to polish a pocket watch from her family heirlooms because Mrs. Lockwood asked for it along with some other things for the Founders Council heritage display. Jeremy (Steven R. McQueen) gets upset when he hears that she is going to give it away and the two of them disagree about it. Stefan comes and Elena asks him to escort her to the Founder's Ball. At the same time, Damon compels Caroline (Candice Accola) to ask him at the Founder's Ball.
The episode ends with Mr. and Mrs. Lockwood, Sheriff Forbes, and Logan Fell gathered together to discuss the pocket watch that Elena did not bring to the Ball and that they needed it. They ask Sheriff Forbes if she is sure about what is going on, and she says yes since all five dead bodies were drained of blood. Logan says: "They've come back" (hinting something about the four of them).
Watch Family Ties Of Blood
Lauren Attaway of Star Pulse gave a B rate to the episode stating: "In true cliffhanger style, we learned that several prominent members of the community knew about vampires and had a plan to get rid of them. Elena's parents were supposed to be loaning several items to The Founder's Party for a display, and the one item Elena didn't loan out, a watch, is the item the adults need for some plot against the vampires. It was good to see that multiple victims drained of blood raised someone's suspicions."[4]
Tyler goes to the Gilbert residence and retrieves the box of family things that Elena has put together for the party. Bonnie relays to Elena what she was told by Caroline: Katherine chose Damon and Stefan did whatever he could to break them up, which eventually worked. Elena isn't quick to believe it, but Bonnie warns her that she doesn't know much about Stefan. Carol calls Elena and tells her that a pocket watch is missing from the box. Elena immediately realizes Jeremy is the one who took it because it was supposed to be passed down to him, but he gives it to Elena anyway.
Back at the party, Damon berates Caroline and then bites her, intending to kill her. However, she has vervain in her system--thanks to Stefan giving her a drink while they were dancing--and Damon falls unconscious. Stefan grabs him and leaves Caroline, but she wakes up okay and finds the crystal amulet that Damon had taken, which he apparently dropped. Elena finds her and comforts her. Stefan locks Damon up in the basement. At the Lockwoods, Liz, Carol, Charles, and Logan are together in one room. They mention the pocket watch that they need for something, and Logan says he can get it. With the recent five dead bodies drained of blood, they conclude that vampires are back in Mystic Falls...
