Back at the Grill, the live band was performing...

Jenna, Caroline, Ellie, Elena, and Bonnie arrived.

Ellie ran onto the dance floor, and she started moving to the beat.

Elena and Bonnie chuckled, and they watched her.

Caroline ran over, joining Ellie.

"We've got to find a way to protect her, Bon." Elena says.

"And we will." Bonnie says, signing loudly, looking at Ellie sadly.

They laughed more and watched Caroline and Ellie get pretty close and personal.

Jenna and Alaric locked eyes, and he walked away.

"I need a drink." Jenna said, walking over to the bar.

Bonnie and Elena walked over to Caroline and Ellie.

Elena and Bonnie saw Matt walk past Caroline, and she smiled at him.

"Hey, Matt." Caroline says.

Matt walked past her without saying anything.

"Things just got real awkward." Bonnie says.

With Alaric, he walked over to Jenna...

"Jenna."

"Not tonight, Ric. Tonight, I have traded you for señor tequila." She says, downing a shot.

"Yeah. Señor tequila, not going to be treating you very well."

"Then the two of you have a lot in common." She tells him.

"Jenna, I hate that you're this upset with me."

"Yeah, well, it's your fault. Whatever it is you're keeping from me... whatever you think I can't handle... you're wrong. Because last year I was a grad student who smoked a lot of pot... and couldn't keep a goldfish alive. And now I'm a parent... so I think I can handle anything, Ric." She said, walked away from him.

"Jenna."

Back with Ellie, Elena, Bonnie, and Caroline...

"He said the ball's in your court." Said Bonnie.

"But I can't do anything about it." Caroline tells them.

"Why not? All you do is talk about how much you care about him." Elena says.

Ellie got to thinking of some ideas, and she concentrated on the wall in front of her.

"Yeah, but I am still keeping so many secrets. Ellie? What do you think?" Caroline asked.

"Alaric's in the same boat with Jenna. And maybe that's our mistake. We're trying to protect people we love... by keeping them out of it, but in the end, we're hurting them anyway. We're just hurting Jenna and Alaric; they're, like, meant to be." Ellie says, rambling on a bit.

"Oh, okay. You rambled a little." Caroline said, smiling at her.

The song finished, and Ellie stared at the live band on stage.

"Oh, my God. That's it. That's it!" Ellie shouted.

A few people stared at her, and Ellie gave them a weird look.

"What you on, El?" Asked Bonnie.

"I know how to help. I know how to help Caroline." Ellie says, smiling.

"Okay. I'm listening." Caroline says.

Ellie leaned up into Caroline's ear, and she whispered something in her ear, and Caroline's face lit up.

Caroline removed her jacket and handed it to Ellie.

"What did you tell her?" Elena asked.

Caroline walked off.

"Where are you going? Where is she going?" Bonnie asked, looking at Ellie.

Caroline got on stage, and she stood in front of the microphone.

"Hey, everybody. Let's hear it for the band. Aren't they awesome?"

Jenna went to stand beside Ellie, Elena, and Bonnie.

The crowd cheered loudly.

"This isn't gonna end well." Jenna says.
