"We're Not Worthy"

Hope still cannot wake up, while the Salvatore School hosts a field day for its students, which goes awry when Chad summons the Lady of the Lake and the Green Knight from Malivore. At field day, Lizzie tries to repair Josie's image, who is distressed that her magic is gone. The Lady of the Lake is after a sword, owned by the Knight who will not give it up and will only allow someone worthy to take it. The Necromancer brings Landon back from the dead, but with no powers, wanting to use him in a scheme of his. Rafael is revealed to be the worthy one worthy of the sword and the only one who can possess it, revealing that he is a descendant of King Arthur. Landon wakes Hope up with a kiss, while Lizzie spends more time with MG. Elsewhere, Chad begins coughing up black goo and dies. Before Alyssa can suffer the same fate, the Necromancer appears and she pleads with him, pledging her life to him.

"Goodbyes Sure Do Suck"

Landon wants to learn more about Rafael's family lineage. However, Rafael begins coughing up black sludge, just like Chad and Alyssa. With Alaric and The Necromancer's deal no longer standing, Rafael has to die just like Chad, Landon, and Alyssa. Hope and the Super Squad try to save his life, but can only prolong his death. Rafael wants to spend his last time alive with family, but cannot find anyone. Due to the day being a celestial event, Hope realizes she can access a prison world. If Rafael can enter a prison world on this day, he will not die and get to live there. Alaric finds Rafael's mother with the help of a compelled Sheriff Mac and father and they agree to go to the prison world with him. Rafael says his goodbyes to everyone and is sent to the prison world to live out the rest of his life. This leaves Hope and Landon strained, due to Landon's loss of power and Hope wanting to prevent his death too. The Necromancer and Alyssa call back the Sphinx, who predicts that his plan will come to pass and that one of the students will die.

"Salvatore: The Musical!"

A new monster is posing as a school councilor; a sprite, with the ability to make everyone believe that he has always been there. He convinces Landon to put on a musical about Elena, Caroline, Stefan, Damon, and the founding of the school. Hope and Landon are still fighting. Landon tries to apologize but Hope is angry that he used her letter from Klaus as lyrics in the musical, but after watching said musical she comes around and performs a song "Always & Forever" about her family. Lizzie has some anxiety playing Caroline, feeling like she is a mess compared to her mother. Caroline leaves a letter for Lizzie, easing her anxiety. The sprite was instructed to use chaos to distract the gang but he mended the broken hearts of Landon and Hope proving that monsters could also be redeemed. Early on, MG was visited by Alyssa. Feigning affection, he was given a tip about the monster-in-disguise, which was an elaborate ploy to lure him to the Necromancer's lair. MG storms in to save Alyssa, and she puts a sleeping spell on him; noting a vampire-sacrifice is needed for their plan.

"Hold On Tight"

Both Hope and Landon plan to celebrate their one-year anniversary. Alyssa and the Necromancer plan to kill MG and revive him as a super-soldier, while Alaric and the students head to Mystic Falls High to kill all the monsters the Necromancer has revived. Josie and Lizzie team up to rescue MG, who wants Alyssa to tell them the Triad Spell and rewrite it. Landon meets Malivore, his father, who is in his true form. However, when he goes to find the Necromancer, he is killed by one of his monsters. Hope beheads the Necromancer, while Landon is revived. Alaric realizes that Landon, Hope, and the monsters are in a prison world, transported there by Alyssa, Lizzie, and Josie who sent all the spells there. Once Hope and Landon return, they make love for the first time to celebrate their anniversary. Alaric allows Sheriff Mac to retain her memories of the supernatural world and MG proposes a relationship to Alyssa, upsetting Lizzie. Josie tells Lizzie she is giving up magic and has enrolled at Mystic Falls High. While Hope and Landon are in bed together, Landon suddenly melts in front of Hope becoming a dark puddle.

"This Is What It Takes"

After Landon's disappearance, Hope returns to the Salvatore school to ask for help, but no one remembers her as she went through the Malivore portal. Initially Alaric and the Super Squad distrust her, but with Josie's help she brings back everyone's memory with a spell. Three weeks after Landon's disappearance, Alaric has sent all the students home in order to focus on saving Landon. Josie goes to orientation at Mystic Falls High, where she meets fellow student Finch, who takes her on a school tour. Hope and Alaric, after several unsuccessful attempts to recover a magical artifact, decide to try Professor Vardemus's therapy box, which catapults Hope into a summer camp in the 1980s where a masked killer wanders. The killer is a simulated Landon, who warns Hope to stop looking for him and leads her to believe she is the cause of his "disappearance" since her blood is toxic to him. Hope decides to stay with this Landon in the therapy box forever, but the game throws her out after Alaric unplugs the box. Alaric has found the desired artifact, but it fails to return Landon. Landon is shown walking towards a door highlighted by a bright light.

"To Whom It May Concern"

The Salvatore School reopens after the mandated break only for the Super Squad to find out that a majority of the student body has transferred out of the school and that it is in jeopardy of being shut down, and Lizzie asks Hope to help her with orientation for new students; both have to be distracted, one for Landon's loss, the other for not thinking about Josie's first day at Mystic Falls High School. Hope loses control, every room in the school reminds her of Landon; she meets Cleo, a student, a witch who helps her express her emotions through art and painting. The two become roommates. Thanks to Cleo and another new student, the school is safe and does not have to close for now. Landon goes through the bright door and finds himself in Ted's ice cream parlor, or the Necromancer, who absorbed by Malivore was chained there; after a fight between the two, he manages to break free and return to the prison world where he writes a letter and leaves it at the gate of the Salvatore school in the hope that someone will find it.

"Yup, It's a Leprechaun, All Right"

Lizzie decides to help Alaric raise money for the Salvatore School, which is on the verge of going broke and being shut down in light of recent events. Her fundraiser is accelerated when a leprechaun shows up to the school and all of the fundraiser's guests start buying everything. Cleo tries to help Hope mourn Landon, but Hope realizes that Malivore is still open after detecting the leprechaun, giving her hope for Landon. The two defeat the leprechaun and Cleo tries to bond with Hope, revealing her sisters were murdered by a supernatural creature. Josie and MG bond over Josie's fear of growing close to new relationships, specifically Finch. Ethan warns Josie to be careful around Finch. MG reveals to Lizzie that he has had the ascendant and has been lying about it being destroyed, devastating Hope and Lizzie.

"Long Time, No See"

Hope dreams about Landon, making her believe he may be still alive and is trying to contact her. With Lizzie's help, she is projected to a prison world where she finds Landon's letter. Hope demands the Super Squad go to the prison world to rescue Landon, but Alaric and the team are not sure it is safe, feeling they can die or release Malivore into the world. Kaleb, Lizzie, and MG decline to help Hope leading her to turn to Josie. Cleo summons a psychopomp named Charon in order to help them get Landon back. The prison world is toxic and hurting Josie, and at the last minute before she has to stop holding them in, Landon appears. Due to his opinion being ignored, MG feels like the Salvatore School is no longer his home. Josie plans to go live with a friend of Alaric and Caroline's in town and distance herself from the Salvatore School. Landon notes he can only remember darkness. The skull-masked hunter from the prison world is seen lurking outside the Salvatore School.

"Do All Malivore Monsters Provide This Level of Emotional Insight?"

The Super Squad discusses which monster they should summon so they can learn about Malivore's next plan while Alaric investigates the artifact. Their discussion is interrupted by the arrival of a gremlin that feeds off of disrespect between people. Lizzie and Hope are at odds after Hope's decision to save Landon but have to resolve their argument because of the gremlin. The gremlin captures Cleo and uses the energy to power up. Lizzie and Hope are forced to become closer with each other than they would like in order to stop the gremlin. MG joins Mystic Falls High School and accidentally exposes his powers to Ethan; when he tries to compel Ethan to forget the revelation, he and Alaric realize Sheriff Mac had been giving Ethan vervain. MG has to wait for the vervain to leave Ethan's system, and he and Ethan bond over feeling lost. Lizzie is unsure where the monsters are coming from but hopes they will just stop. She and Hope are watched by the skull-masked hunter. Dorian tells Alaric the artifact has belonged to Albert Einstein, Napoleon Bonaparte, and Rasputin among other historical figures, which is cause for concern.

"All's Well That Ends Well"

Hope suspects that Malivore is targeting Cleo, leading Hope to use Cleo as bait to catch Malivore or another of its monsters. The plan works as a banshee arrives. The Super Squad learns that Malivore has tasked the banshee with bringing him Cleo. The banshee also reveals that if Cleo continues to stay at the school, Landon will die. Cleo volunteers to leave the school to protect Landon, but it is revealed this was Malivore's plan all along. On her way to save Cleo, Hope encounters the skull-masked hunter and she notes that it feels like she has encountered him before. She manages to save Cleo before Malivore can capture her. Alaric learns that Malivore wants Cleo because she is a muse and he needs her gift of inspiration to solve a problem he has most likely to escape the prison world. Lizzie confronts Josie about her budding relationship with Finch. Josie ends up being rejected by Finch despite Lizzie's attempts to help her. MG and Ethan grow closer. Lizzie learns Finch is a werewolf. While Landon and Hope are sleeping, the skull-masked hunter sneaks into Landon's room and cuts off pieces of their hair, then leaves.

"You Can't Run from Who You Are"

An old tape shows Clarke trying to destroy the artifact but failing. Cleo inspires Hope and Alaric: Hope to astral project into the prison world to make a deal with the Necromancer which would destroy Malivore, and Alaric to make an excursion to Triad's old headquarters to find out what they knew about the artifact. In the prison world, a monster capable of entering the astral plane bites Hope. Wade reveals to Landon and Josie that the monster is a Berbalang from Filipino legend (adapted by Dungeons and Dragons) which replicates through physical contact. After a conversation with her subconscious (which manifests as Dark Josie), Josie takes back her magic and enchants a pearl-bladed dagger, which she and Landon use to bring Hope back. Alaric finds out the artifact was created by Leonardo da Vinci. Lizzie and MG discover that Finch unwittingly killed her grandfather when she became a werewolf. Kaleb opens up to Cleo and Cleo agrees to go out with him. Hope and Josie reconnect. Perturbed by Landon's odd behavior, Wade warns Hope that something might be wrong with Landon.

"I Was Made to Love You"

Hope becomes suspicious when Landon appears to be supernaturally strong and shows no allergic reaction to avocados. Knocking him out with a sleep spell, Hope recruits Cleo in an attempt to find out who or what Landon really is. A needle drawing out Malivore mud instead of blood from him, her blood being toxic to him and writing on his shoulder that matches her and Cleo's bust of him leads Hope to deduce he is a golem created from the bust. Cleo reveals that she was controlling the faux-Landon and that Hope freed her when she opened the artifact. The skull-masked individual knocks Cleo out when she tries to kill Hope, and reveals himself to be the real Landon. Josie and Alaric track down the now-human Necromancer, who agrees to help them but is ultimately forced to sacrifice himself to free Alaric from a boundary spell Cleo uses to trap them in Alaric's office. A note from Lizzie tells Josie the truth about Finch, but an initially conflicted Josie finally confesses how she feels about Finch and they kiss. MG revealing the truth about the supernatural world causes Ethan to try to become a vampire, but MG stops him and erases his memory for good measure.

"One Day You Will Understand"

Cleo invites Kaleb and then Josie to enter her mind to see if she is malevolent. They learn how she sacrificed herself to Malivore and was trapped in a cave alone with him for years before she managed to trap him in a vessel she controlled and escaped. Alaric releases Cleo after learning that she was trying to get Hope to kill Malivore and that for Malivore to be defeated, Hope would have to die. Hope struggles to reconnect with the recently returned Landon, whose erratic behavior leads to him beating up a former bully at Mystic Falls High. Landon reveals he learned to fight to protect himself in the prison world and he and Hope take down Malivore's vessel together, with the artifact destroyed in the fight. Hope confesses that she does not want to become a full Tribrid, but Landon is convinced that it is inevitable and they are doomed to destroy each other. He breaks up with her and leaves for the bus station, where he meets and bonds with Cleo. Finch fits in well with Jed and the pack and decides to stay at the Salvatore School and date Josie.

"This Feels a Little Cult-y"

Hope struggles to control her negative emotions. Josie convinces Hope to accompany her to Lizzie's wellness retreat. Alaric and Dorian search for MG, who has been missing for a few days. Finch challenges Jed to become Alpha since she is fed up with the oppressive rules of the pack – she proposes a game of pool. Ultimately, seeing how much Jed cares about his pack, Finch decides to let him win. Josie and Hope suspect the retreat is a cult. Lizzie confirms this, discovering her "inner peace" is the result of a liquid drug, developed by Triad, that removes the negative emotions of witches so they can be controlled. Andi, who is a witch pretending to be an empath, and who is running the "retreat", was freed from Triad on the condition she perform a ritual that needs the magic of several witches and a human sacrifice. The three witches defeat Andi, but she drenches them with the drug and decides to complete the spell by sacrificing herself, leaving Lizzie, Josie and Hope hallucinating that they are pandas.

"A New Hope"

Hope, Lizzie, and Josie are trapped in a sci-fi story which they must complete. It is based on a story Lizzie wrote when she was eleven years old. A message from Alaric tells the twins not to follow him as he pursues the Star Sword, which is the only weapon that can kill the villain, Lord Marshall. They seek him out anyway. Josie realizes she already has the sword, which only the chosen one can wield it. They are captured by Lord Marshall. Lizzie reveals she viewed Hope as competition for her father's attention, so she "cast" Hope as Lord Marshall. In the real world, Alaric and Emma work to save Dorian from the wounds inflicted by the wendigo. The girls are rescued by a young Hope, who heard Josie relating Lizzie's story. Hope reveals she rewrote the story with the Hollow as the villain, and realizes she knows how the story ends. Hope defeats the villain, who is revealed to be Malivore. Hope tells the twins that she knows how to defeat the real Malivore – she must become the tribrid. As they escape the hallucination, they encounter Clarke, who has been freed by the ritual.

"Fate's a Bitch, Isn't It?"

Cleo and Landon rob a museum and steal an artifact from Leonardo da Vinci, which she melts down and combines with a vial of Hope's blood in an attempt to kill Malivore. When their exploits attract attention, Alaric sends MG and Kaleb to cover their tracks. Hope teams with a now-human Clarke, feeling she has no other choice to defeat Malivore.

After covering up Cleo and Landon's heist at the museum, MG and Kaleb save a man from a fire, realizing they can use their powers like superheroes and do good. Outside the hotel, Landon tells Cleo he had hoped it would not come to this. As Alaric pulls up, he sees Cleo being eaten by Landon. Alaric shoots Landon, subduing him. Hope and Alaric realize that this is not Landon and that it never has been: Landon has been Malivore all along. Hope visits Clarke in the hospital and tells him Malivore has been hiding in plain sight, while promising to take down Malivore once and for all. Ethan asks Lizzie out. Hope, Alaric, and the Super Squad confront Malivore and tell him they want their friends back, while he replies that there is something he wants too.
