Doctor Maxfield's Lab

Dr. Maxfield collects some blood on a Petri dish and waves it over Jesse who is lying tied down on a gurney. He starts breathing heavy and vamps out. He tries to go for the blood. Dr. Maxfield puts the blood away.
Jesse:"Dr. Maxfield, please! Why are you doing this?" He lays back down on the gurney,"my insides, they're burning up. I'm hungry."
Dr. Maxfield pulls out a voice recorder and presses record,"Subject 62547. After his initial transition, 62547 has undergone 3 days without feeding. Subject is weak but lucid." He opens Jesse's mouth, wearing latex gloves,"Upper left and right cuspid normal after blood stimulus is removed."
Dr. Maxfield turns a small flashlight on to look into Jesse's eyes.
Jesse:"What are you doing to me?"
Dr. Maxfield says into his recorder,"Pupils are at full dilation." He waves the light at Jesse,"sensitivity to light— an obvious 11 on a scale from one to ten." He writes down some notes on a pad.
Jesse:"What the hell is happening to me? Why am I so hungry?" Dr. Maxfield looks at him,"what are you doing to me?"
Dr. Maxfield into the recorder,"Subject is confused yet self-aware. Personality seems intact. Hunger remains primary focus. All in all appears to be a perfect candidate."
Dr. Maxfield grins and turns off his recorder.

Whitmore College

It's daytime. Nevaeh is writing in her diary and then looks around to see other students on campus.
Nevaeh voiceover,"Dear diary, do you ever get sick of me writing about death? It's been 4 days since Bonnie died— or 4 days since J found out Bonnie died. She wanted me to go back to school, so here I am, back at school— studying, going to class, trying to move on like everyone else. Stefan had it easiest. He doesn't even remember Bonnie, not that anybody has seen him except for Elena, who's back with Tyler."

Elena pushes Tyler down on her bed and kisses him in the dorm room. Elena giggles.

Nevaeh voiceover,"He's been a healthy distraction for her, to say the least."

Back in the college.

Nevaeh:"And I've adopted my own distraction— Dr. Wes Maxfield. My roommate was killed by a vampire and Dr. Maxfield covered it up, and I'd like to know why."

Dr. Maxfield:"Welcome back. See you at the costume ball tonight?"
Nevaeh:"I wouldn't miss it." "Besides the more I have to think about, the less time I have to miss Bonnie..." she sheds a tear. Bonnie is standing next to her.
Bonnie:"I'm right here, Nevaeh, and I miss you too." She puts her hand on Nevaeh's shoulder.
Nevaeh:"But in the meantime, I choose to believe that she's watching over me because that's who Bonnie is."
Nevaeh's cell phone rings, and she checks it, 'Fiancé 😍💍' she ignores the call but then Damon appears behind her.
Damon:"Busted!"
Nevaeh:"Oh...hey baby." She smiles.
Damon:"Hey, Miss Avoiding-me-for-three-days."
Nevaeh:"Avoiding you...no? What? We're being talking."
Damon:"Texting. One time. "Want to be my date at the costume ball?" Winky face."
Nevaeh:"And you never replied. So I'm guessing this special, in-person visit means yes?"
Damon:"Definitely will maybe consider thinking about it."
Nevaeh:"It's eight o'clock. Elena got us costumes." She wraps her hands around his neck and kisses him.
Damon:"Where you going?"
Nevaeh:"To class. I'm late."
She kisses him one more time and picks up her things and walks away.

Nevaeh and Elena's Dorm Room

Elena and Tyler are laying on the floor in the dorm room, after they had sex, and now they are having some quality time together. Tyler lays on top of Elena.
Elena:"Oh, before I forget, I talked to the registration and your major is— drum roll— sociology."
Tyler:"How about we don't talk about my major right now?" He leans down and kisses her.
Elena:"And I compelled you a single."
Tyler:"Definitely don't want to talk about my dorm room."
Elena pushes him away,"Well, we could talk about the hybrid-size jerk that you've been for not calling me back ever."
Tyler:"How many times do you want me to tell you? I've been helping a werewolf pack in the land of no cell phone reception."
Elena:"Well, lucky for you, I figured out a way for you to make it up to me."
Tyler:"I thought I did make up for it a couple dozen times." He started kissing her again.
Elena:"Ha, ha, ha! You are escorting me to the Whitmore Historical Ball."
Tyler abruptly stops kissing her and stares at her,"The what?"
Elena:"It's the one time a year where they put their whole collection on display, and everyone dresses up as famous historical figures. I got Stefan a costume. Even he's going. Come on, Tyler. I mean, how cute will we be as Bonnie and Clyde?"
Tyler:"Seriously?"
Elena:"You're right. Let's not talk."
She pulls him into her and kisses him.
