Candice was a little worry about Damon. He learned the hard way that Katherine never loved him. Another part of her has her feeling bad for him because he spent centuries loving a woman and thinking she was in the tomb. "Candice."

"Yeah."

"You keep sighing." Caroline said.

"Its nothing really." She said as she looked at her sister. "What would you do if you had a love that was locked away for centuries and when you finally get in there to get her out just to discover she was never there."

Caroline shrugged as she hugged her sister. "Don't worry about it. I probably would had moved on personally."

Candice nodded as her sister left. She sighed as she doesn't know how to actually feel about this.

"Candice." She heard and looked at Elena. "I need a favor."

"What kind?"

"For you to come with me to see Trudie Peterson. She may have information on Isobel."

Candice nodded as she followed Elena. Elena started explaining more about what she knows so far about Isobel, but Candice doesn't think its a coincidence that Alaric's wife and Elena's mother has the same name. "Elena, I actually think that Isobel is the same person. You might be Alaric's stepdaughter."

"I won't know till I find out the truth."

Candice didn't go with Elena after she had a call to help with the bachelor fundraiser tonight. She sat down as she watched every single lady get a ticket. She got one for the fun of it. She saw Damon and walked over to him. "What are you doing?"

"Participating."

"Damon, I know you are hurting and that you are acting out, but please don't do something so stupid because you are hurting. I told you to give it time and there will be someone else that will love you and give you the love you give back." Candice heard the announcement and sighed. "Have fun."

Damon watched Candice walk away. She sat down as Carol started the introduction. Candice wasn't wanting to be there, but she actually had nothing to do. When Damon was introduced, she heard him taunt Alaric about Isobel and knew she was right. She watched Elena leave making her walk over to Damon and shove him. "Are you happy with yourself?"

"What do you mean?"

"Did it not click earlier when Elena told you and Stefan her birth mother's name. You killed Isobel." She said. "That girl was so focused on knowing who she was and yet, you apparently didn't care since you lied."

"Candice."

"Just because Katherine lied to your ass doesn't make you taunt about killing someone." Candice looked at Elena and back at Damon. "Congrats on being an ass of the year.'

At the Gilberts, Elena was explaining the man who died to night being compelled to step in front of the bus. "So you believe whoever compelled him might be the last number on the phone."

"Yes."

"Lets call it."

Elena nodded as she called the number. Candice listened to it ring. "Is it done?"

"Isobel?"

Candice looked at Elena and knew. Damon turned Isobel, but why.
