The Salvatore brothers came up with a plan on "Pictures of You." It involved Elena, her lack of humanity and the possibility that fear may be the key to bringing it back.

Elsewhere on "She's Come Undone," look for:

• Matt to offer advice to Rebekah.
• Katherine to grow suspicious of Bonnie.
• Caroline to have an unusual encounter with Klaus.
