The priest helps him out and translates the message. It says "Final Activation on June 28 @ 20:00. Katherine goes to see Stefan and tells him that she knows why him and Bobbie separated; she believes their attraction to one another is partly the reason.

Mike goes to see Luke and he thanks him for all he's done in the last two years. Luke tells him that life as they know it is over and vaguely talks about Stefan and what is going on. Mike provides Luke with some valuable information on the Julian calendar; this enables Luke to figure out that June 28th (the date in the message) really means July 11th - the date everything is going down.

Brenda and Sonny are still on the run and she is convinced someone is watching them; Brenda's right and the mysterious man tips off Taggert to their whereabouts. The police show up and order the two to surrender. When they don't come out, tear gas is thrown into the house but the two escape and show up at Luke's.

Jax goes to see Mac to find out what information he's come up with. Mac informs him he had a look at all the evidence which included a black button and a folded piece of paper shaped like an animal which appears to be made out of a gum wrapper. Robin walks in and asks what's going on. She wants to know where Jason is and Mac hesitantly tells her; he's in jail. The two of them go down to Police Headquarters where Jason is later released.

Back at the hospital Sarah and Lucky are working when Nikolas and Lucky have a confrontation. Sarah steps in and informs Lucky that anger is not an attractive quality. They decide to meet later on at Kelly's for a bite to eat; on the way Sarah experiences car trouble and who appears, Nikolas.

Jax and his shadow V. Ardanowski are at the hospital, in conversation, when Rebecca Chase jumps in making accusations about Brenda. Ardanowski makes assumptions about Rebecca based on her appearance and dress, and she points out that she is missing a button on her sweater - this leads Jax to believe the button is the same one Dorman was holding when he died and that she murdered him.
