Chapter 53:
DONOVAN RESIDENCE
Matt and Caroline are on the couch, watching TV. Matt's arm is slung over Caroline's shoulder. Caroline makes a huffing noise. Matt mutes the TV and looks over at her.
Matt: What?
Caroline: This is boring. I'm bored.
Matt: Wow.
Caroline: But we have this entire house to ourselves. I mean, it's practically a bachelor pad.
Matt: And...
Caroline: So shouldn't we do something a little bit more bachelor-paddy?
Matt: What? Something like this?
Matt lifts Caroline's chin up and kisses her and pulls away.
Caroline: Something like that.
Matt turns away from Caroline, unmuting the TV.
Matt: I don't know. This is a pretty good show.
Caroline hits him.
Caroline: Seriously?
Caroline crosses her arms and giggles. Matt pushes her down on the couch and she laughs as she wraps her legs around his waist. They begin to kiss passionately. Matt removes his shirt and Caroline removes hers. They continue kissing.
Kelly: Oh, god.
Matt looks up suddenly. Kelly is standing in the doorway, looking at them.
Kelly: Not on my couch.
Matt: Mom! Hey.
Matt covers Caroline up with a pillow. Caroline places her hands on her face, embarrassed.
MYSTIC GRILL
Alaric and Jenna are hanging up a banner, outside, for the Founder's Fundraiser.
Alaric: I don't know. It's just weird, you know, me being raffled off like a Disney Cruise.
Jenna: In this town, fundraising is like indentured servitude. You don't have a choice. Besides, you're a bachelor, and you're eligible, so there you go.
Alaric moves to the side of the banner that Jenna is attempting to hang up.
Alaric: Here. Let me help you with this.
Alaric helps her hang up the banner and Jenna smiles up at him. Alaric leans in and kisses Jenna. Jenna looks windswept as he pulls away.
Jenna: Oh, god. I can't believe I'm gonna do this.
Alaric: What?
Jenna: I am totally going to ruin this moment, but I--I have to tell you. Elena recently found out she was adopted, and she's been looking for her birth mother...whose name was Isobel.
Alaric: Isobel? Like my wife?
Jenna nods.
Alaric: Isobel never had a baby.
Jenna: Are you sure? Not before you were together?
Alaric: Nope. No way.
Jenna takes out her phone and hands it to Alaric. A picture of Isobel is on the screen.
Jenna: This is Elena's birth mother.
Alaric looks alarmed.
Alaric: Ah, she, uh—she never told me. I, uh—I'm gonna go. Yeah, I'm gonna—gonna go.
Alaric awkwardly walks off. Jenna sighs heavily.
Giselle walks into the grill and looks around for an employee and found one dusting the table.
Giselle: *walks up to the employee* hi I'm Giselle Salvatore, um I would like a job here at the grill

Giselle: *compel him* tell your boss to come out here
Employee: *blinks* yes ma'am
Giselle smirks and the employee walks away and Giselle said.
Giselle: getting a job here gonna be a piece of cake
