Gilbert Residence

[Isobel is at the door. She's looking at Elena. Jenna is stunned.]
Isobel: Hello, Elena. It's nice to see you again.
[Jenna looks at Elena.]
Jenna: Again?
[Elena doesn't know what to say.]
Isobel: So you're the woman who's dating my husband. I need to speak to Elena. May I come in?
Elena: N-n-no. Don't...don't invite her in.
Isobel: I need to talk to you, Elena.
Elena: No!
[She slams the door in Isobel's face and looks at Jenna, who's crying.]
Jenna: You knew she was still alive? Ric? John? Did they know?
Elena: I can explain everything, Jenna.
Jenna: No.
Elena: No. Jenna, please.
[Jenna runs upstairs. Elena goes after her.]
Elena: Jenna, please. Wait. Jenna, please wait.
[Jenna's goes into her bedroom and slams the door. Elena is outside, at the door.]
Elena: Jenna, you have to talk to me. I...I need to explain what's going on. Jenna, please.
[Jenna is sitting on the floor, crying.]

Salvatore Boarding House

[Stefan and Damon are going down the stairs with Angel in Damon's arms]
Stefan: Isobel just showed up at their front doorstep.
Damon: What's she doing here?
Stefan: I don't know. That's what I'm gonna go find out.
[Katherine joins them.]
Katherine: I don't think that you should tell her that I'm here.
Stefan: What? Why?
Katherine: It's better if she and John not know that I stayed in town after I got out of the tomb.
Damon: You're the one in cahoots with them. You made a deal with John that almost got me killed.
Katherine: I did what I had to get out of the tomb. Now I'm reconsidering my alliance.
[She turns around but Stefan interrupts her.]
Stefan: What do you know?
Katherine: I know that I want Klaus dead, which puts me squarely on team you. Besides, if you two ever need me to swap places with Elena again, the less people know that I'm here, the better. Think about it, Stefan. Come on. Be smart.
[Angel shivers in fear at the name]
Stefan: Tell you what. Why don't you, uh...Call Alaric and let him know that his wife just showed up on his girlfriend's doorstep.
[He looks at them and leaves. Katherine and Damon look at each other.]

Gilbert Residence

[Elena opens the door to Alaric.]
Alaric: Hey. Is she up yet?
Elena: She won't come out of her room.
Alaric: What'd you tell her?
Elena: Nothing. She won't talk to me,
Alaric: We're gonna have to fix this, Elena.
[Jenna comes down the stairs.]
Elena: Hey.
Alaric: Jenna.
Jenna: I don't want you here, Ric. You need to go.
Alaric: Okay, listen. I can't begin to imagine what you must be feeling right now.
Jenna: Rage and betrayal would pretty much cover it.
[She puts on her jacket and takes her bag.]
Elena: Where are you going?
Jenna: I'm going to stay on campus. I have a thesis to write, and I don't want to be in this house.
Alaric: Jenna, please just stop. Let us explain to you exactly what is going on.
Jenna: Elena, I need you to go to the Lockwood's today and accept the Historical Society's check for your mom's foundation.
Elena: Okay, but, Jenna, please just...
Jenna: I don't have it in me to hear any more lies from you.
[She leaves and closes the door.]
Elena: Jenna, just...
[John comes out of the kitchen.]
John: Let her go. It's better that she's not here, what with everything that's going on but maybe had you been a little more honest with her from the beginning, this...
[Alaric punches him in the face.]
Alaric: Sorry, Elena.
[He leaves. Elena looks at John with a smile.]
Elena: You know this is your fault, right?
John: Right.
[She heads upstairs.]

Forbes Residence

[Caroline leaves her house and goes to her car. She's on the phone with Stefan talking about Matt.]
Caroline: I can't find him anywhere. He's not at home. He's not answering his phone.
Stefan: How could you let him go?
Caroline: My mom walked in. He took off. I didn't know what to do.
Stefan: Did your mom hear anything?
Caroline: No. She just thinks we're fighting but he knows about me, and he's freaking out about Vicki.
Stefan: All right. Listen. You have to find him. You have to calm him down. Compel him if you have to. Is he still on the vervain?
Caroline: I slip it into his soda when he's at work, but I didn't get to last night, so it's out of his system. He has a catering shift at the Lockwood's today. I'm gonna try there.
[She hangs up. She presses a button on her steering wheel and talks to the in-car computer.]
Caroline: Call Matt.
Computer: Calling Matt...
Matt (on answering machine): You've reached Matt. Leave a message.
[She doesn't leave a message and instead drives off.]
