Damon knocks on Grace's door with Stefan.
"Come in?" Grace says.
"I have a surprise for you," Stefan says as he puts paper next to Grace. "Your come to school with me!" 
"No thank you, I would rather be daggered."
"To bad, your going."
"And the hunter?"
"That's why your going, this will be fun Gracie, you and me in high school again."
"Fine but I am going to protect Caroline and Bonnie if Elena gets hurt it's on you, not me."
"On me, are you mad at me or something?"
"You wish Salvatore, and if I was it would be easier for you ."
"Aw Grace mad at me no my heart will break."
"Aw Stefan be sarcastic about me I wish this happened more."
They both laugh as Stefan walks out and Grace packs a bag for school.

Grace, Elena and Stefan sit down in their desks. Stefan looks at Elena, who is staring at the front of the room, looking like she is about to cry. Stefan looks at the front as well, noticing the chalkboard with Alaric's handwritten notes on it. He sighs, realizing what she must be saddened by.
"It's the first time we've been back in Alaric's classroom..."
"First period, and I'm ready to bawl my eyes out."
Rebekah enters the classroom with flyers.
"Morning, everyone."
"Morning, Bekah."
"[mutters] Just like that, I'm no longer feeling sentimental."
"Elena emotions heightened be careful."
"So, I'm throwing a little anti-curfew party at my new house. Starts at fifth period and goes 'til whenever. Spread the word."
She hands out a couple of the flyers and turns to Elena, Stefan and Grace.
"You're welcome to join, Elena, if you'd like to bury the hatchet."
She hands Elena a flyer. Elena takes it.
"It's a pretty enormous hatchet."
"[rolls her eyes] Well, I'm feeling generous of spirit."
"[looks at the flyer] New house, huh? Did your brother finally kick you out?"
"He didn't kick me out, I left."
"So, you left the only person on earth that actually likes you?"
Rebekah looks at Stefan.
"Well, your boyfriend liked me once. [Stefan looks up at her, clearly not happy to be dragged into it.] Actually, a lot more than once."
Rebekah smirks. Elena looks furious.
"Why are you still in town, Rebekah? Don't you have anywhere else to go?"
"Well, history's my favorite class. Actually, where is Mr. Saltzman...?"
She pauses dramatically. Elena's rage intensifies.
"[smiles] Oh, that's right, I killed him."
Elena loses her temper and throws her pencil at Rebekah's face. Rebekah grabs it and throws it back at Elena, which impales her in the shoulder. They glare at each other. Elena removes the pencil from her chest and gets up before anyone else in class notices what just happened.
"Bex, I'll take some letters, consider this an early birthday present to me."
"Here then Gracie, love."
She gives Grace the letters.
"Thanks Bex, see you then."
Grace walks into the hallway.
"You got the letters, why Grace?"
She gets her phone out and dials Damon.
"Hey Grace now's not the best time, what's up need picking up."
"[mouths] Is that Damon?"
"Yes and do you want to crash a party of Rebekah's?"
"You know it Grace also I can't find the hunter or get a hold of Stefan, have you seen them?"
"Oh their both here, I'll give you to Stefan."
She hands Stefan the phone, waits for him to hang up and goes looking for Caroline and Bonnie.

Stefan, Grace and Caroline are sitting outside at a table while Elena paces back and forth in front of them.
"[to Elena] It was a valiant first day effort. No one will judge you if you want to go home."
"I don't want to go home. I want to take the white oak stake and kill her. That's how mad I am. She made me murderous!"
"How about we just leave the murdering to Damon?" Grace gives him a look. "And Grace she has killer eyes."
Stefan gets up and walks towards Elena.
"And-and then do what? Ignore her to death?"
"[sighs] Look, she's trying to make herself feel better."
"She knows that everybody hates her, so she's trying to hate harder. Tell you what, let's just skip the rest of the day. Go have some fun. I feel like this day is severely lacking in fun."
Elena looks at Caroline and Grace. Caroline smiles, Grace gives a sarcastic smile and Elena reluctantly nods in agreement.
"Yeah. Okay, fine."
Stefan smiles.
"Then, we'll go to her party and show her that she can't intimidate me. I just have to go home and change first."
She waves goodbye to Caroline and leaves. Stefan turns around and looks at Caroline and Grace.
"Does she seem a little off-balance to you two, you know her better?"
"Yeah, she's channeling all her emotions into rage. It makes her feel like she has purpose. I used to do that too when I was...you know."
"Ripper-you?"
"Yeah. She needs to come to terms with it, confront it, let it in, before she can let it go."
"[nods] You're good at this, you know that? You saved my vampire life, now you're saving hers."
"Only because Grace and Lexi saved mine."
They start to walk off together.
"You two should write a book. Go on The View."
"Hm."
"Ha."

There are kids outside, drinking from a keg and having a good time. Elena, Stefan and Grace make their way to the entrance of the house and step through the doorway.
"Wow, we didn't have to be invited in."
"I wonder who used to live here."
"Or who died here."
They stop walking. Elena sees Rebekah and a look of rage spreads across her face.
"I think the Mikealsons are all back."
"You're fixating Elena."
"No, I'm just quietly hating."
A boy walks past Grace, Stefan and Elena with a cup of beer in his hand. Stefan compels the boy.
"This is mine now."
The boy hands Stefan his cup of beer.
"Thank you."
Stefan hands the drink to Elena.
"Why don't you have a drink? It'll help you let go."
Elena takes the cup from Stefan. She's about to take a sip when she sees April walking across the room.
"April's here. I'm gonna go say hi."
"And I am going to find something a little stronger than beer."
"And I'm finding people to flirt with."
"[smiles] Okay."
"Grace is coming with me."
Elena and Stefan and Grace walk off in opposite directions.

Grace is dancing with a random woman when Stefan and Elena walk pass.
"Excuse me M'lady."
She walks up to Stefan and Elena.
"Where you two going?"
"Home Gracie, Elena has had enough party for one day."
"You joining us?"
"Not after finding a cute woman who is uncompelled."
Stefan high fives her.
"See you at home."
"See you, don't tell Damon tho."
"We won't."
They leave and Grace goes back to dancing with the girl.
"So what's your name?"
"I'm Harper, and you?"
"I'm Grace but everybody calls me Gracie."
"Gracie well want to ditch this ditching party, maybe go back to one of our places?"
"Not just yet, I haven't even had a drink and plus, I don't think we know each other's power."
They walk into the front yard.
"I'm a Vampire, Kol's line and you?"
"I'm a vampire and witch."
"How is that possible?"
"A sypher witch before dying."
"Makes sense, so does anybody own your house?"
"Two other Vampires, you?"
"An annoying human."
"So it would be to my house?"
"Your house it is."
They get on a bike and head to the Salvatore house.

"Hey young lady where have you been?"
"Stefan leave me alone I have met a girl."
"A girl?"
"Yes Caroline, Harper do you want to come in with us?"
"Sure, Hi, I'm a vampire like you all.
She enters and Stefan and Caroline are surprised.
"Wow my day has been bad with Tyler's lying how about the rest of you?"
"Elena was poisoned."
Damon enters.
"Who is this?"
"Harper, she is one of us and a new friend of mine."
"That's cool well me a Klaus teamed up to kill the hunter."
"A hunter, one of the five?" Harper
"What are the five?" Stefan
"I thought the five died after the first generation?" Grace
"I guess not." Harper
Both: "How are you still sane if he is dead?" 
"What do you mean?" Damon
"Nothing."
