Heaven Knows

021: Isobel

Blake returns to the Grill and finds Alaric talking to a very familiar woman with dark hair. Alaric looks distraught. Tanya is bartending because william went on home.

"It's good to see you. You look good," the woman says "I hear that you're a high school history teacher? How is that?"

"Where have you been, Isobel?" Alaric asls amd Blake gasps.

Blake passes them before Isobel or Alaric Can stop her, and she hides in her office since they're aren't busy right now.

"Tanya, you got this?" Blake asks. "I gotta help with the founder's day parade thing. Alaric Saltzman got me roped in."

"I got this, Blake," Tanya assures her. "You go and do your town good."

Blake hugs Tanya before she walks out in some black skinny jeans and a blue blouse, and black heels. She drives to the high school and she goes to the cafeteria, where Alaric is already with the students.

"So these are the specs for the History department," Alaric says. "For the Founders' Day float, we'll be recreating the battle of Willow Creek. Tyler has been nominated at the head of the production design."

"By whom?" Tyler asks.

"By me," Alaric replies simply. "I've seen your sketches and they're good."

"I'm not really into the..."

"Well, you just pick your team, be creative and..." he pauses when he sees Stefan and Elena. "Don't screw up. Blake, watch them, yeah?"

She rolls her eyes but nods. "Sure."

Tyler smiles at Blake when Matt turns him down. "Alaric roped you into helping with the history float, huh?"

"Yep," Blake replies. "Where are your sketches?"

Tyler digs through his bag and hands it over. Blake smiles and she flips through it.

"Mr. Saltzman is right, Tyler," Blake's has as she flips through the book. "These are amazing."

"Thank you, Blake," Tyler replies.
....,.,

Blake goes back to work when she realizes the boys had it. William hands her an apron and she waits tables so she can listen to Isobel and Elena. Stefan is standing at the pool tables while Elena stands alone. Isobel can't keep Blake from being in here during the chat, Blake works here and manages the place.

Isobel arrives soon enough. She sees Blake but she sees that the vamoire si working here, so says nothing. Isobel walks over to the table where her biological daughter is sat and sits.

"Hello, Elena," Isobel greets. "You look just like her, it's eerie."

"You've met Katherine?" Elena inquires.

"She found me after I was turned," Isobel confesses. "Generic curiosity, I suppose. She would be fascinated by you."

Elena takes notice of a beautiful necklace around her birth mother's neck. "Is that how you can walk in the day?"

"Katherine helped me obtain it," Isobel claims.

"Who's my father?" Elena asks.
